Chapter 7 Concern
In the field of youth novels in later generations, Han Han and Guo Xiaosi were the representatives.
In the film and television industry, the youth film trend was kicked off by Wanwan Jiubadao's film Those Years.
Later, Zhao's first film after he switched to being a director, "So Young," was a box office hit, and then youth films swept the Chinese-language film market.
However, in order to make the story more tortuous, the screenwriters seem to be completely out of touch with reality when they adapt or create their own works.
Why do so many mainland teenagers who study abroad have abortions?
Our youth is not so sad and life-threatening!
At the beginning, everyone was still a little bit interested in it, but later on, it became like this and the audience quickly abandoned it.
On the contrary, some of the hazy, beautiful and sweet dramas that are more in line with the lives of teenagers are more popular.
When Liu Zhou was a screenwriter in his previous life, he also took on many youth-themed projects. In order to meet the client's requirements, he also carefully understood the mainstream of the market.
Therefore, he is also familiar with some youth-themed movies and TV series in later generations.
In fact, for readers who have not yet been baptized by various things, the exaggerated, tortuous, sad, studying abroad, and abortion-related novels of later generations will be very popular.
After all, in two years, "My Fair Princess" will be extremely popular!
Isn’t this TV series also a youth-themed TV series disguised as ancient costumes?
Later, as people saw it more often and information became more widely disseminated, the lines and plot of "My Fair Princess" became popular again.
Liu Zhou doesn’t really like novels about studying abroad and having abortions. In fact, the core of this type of novel is just one word: abuse!
Just grasp this core.
Moreover, Liu Zhou does not have to stick to later novels. Some popular movies and TV series in later generations can also be adapted into novels, so there are more choices.
Liu Zhou thought about it and decided to make it more sadistic and purer.
Suddenly, a work emerged in Liu Zhou's mind, that is "Twinkle Twinkle Star" starring Zhang Jianing.
This low-budget TV series became a small hit, and at its peak, the name Zhang Wansen almost became a symbol on the Internet.
The most important thing is that the relationship between the male and female protagonists is tortuous enough, and it also has some science fiction elements, which I think will be popular at this time.
After selecting the target, Liu Zhou also carefully recalled the plot of the TV series, and then took out paper and pen to write the outline of the novel.
Before I knew it, two or three hours had passed.
Liu Zhou didn't stop until all the students in the dormitory woke up.
When the others saw Liu Zhou writing something, Wang Qingshan couldn't help but ask:
"Liu Zhou, are you doing your homework?"
"No, I've already finished my homework, so I'll write something else."
Everyone had discussed this before, and they also knew that the assignment Liu Zhou was preparing was a script for a micro-film, and that people who could get into this major all had the habit of writing, so the others didn't ask any more questions and tried to be quiet so as not to disturb Liu Zhou.
Liu Zhou was also happy with this, as it allowed him to concentrate on conceiving this novel.
At this moment, Liu Zhou suddenly felt that his ideas were flowing and his thoughts were particularly clear. He kept writing until the lights were turned off at night. Even when Liu Ye came to find him to play in the evening, he ignored her.
Before going to bed, Liu Zhou sorted out the results of his work this afternoon and overnight. He wrote an outline of more than 10,000 words and the main text of nearly 10,000 words.
This is still handwritten. If there was a computer, Liu Zhou felt that he could write more.
I didn't feel anything when I was writing, but when I suddenly stopped I felt my right hand was particularly sore and my shoulder was a little painful too.
After stretching and washing up, I went to bed. Tomorrow is the first day of formal classes, so I can't be late.
The next day, everyone got up early.
After a day of rest, everyone seemed to be in good spirits. The first class in the morning was still the class of the head teacher, but he did not teach, but seriously emphasized the school rules and regulations, and then taught some ideological and political education content.
This is his job as a class teacher, and he must convey the spirit of some meetings or speeches from above.
Finally, I collected the homework assigned before the military training and then left.
The Central Academy of Drama is quite strict in its teaching, so the courses in the first and second years are quite full, and this is true for almost all majors.
Monday was a full day of classes, so Liu Zhou took the opportunity to experience the life of attending lectures again.
Liu Zhou really enjoys the leisurely and ordinary life as a college student.
Attend classes when you have them, review the knowledge, and sometimes you will gain new insights.
After class, I would invite three or five classmates to play basketball or go to a restaurant, which was very pleasant.
Although Liu Zhou was writing a novel, he didn't want to spend all his spare time on it, so he would take out some time in the evening to write.
If he had the chance to start over again, Liu Zhou wouldn't make himself too busy. Even when he was working in his previous life, he wouldn't make himself too tired. He just ate when he should and played when he should.
So it took Liu Zhou more than a week to write more than 40,000 words for this novel, and that was even with an outline.
However, after writing so many words, Liu Zhou planned to collect 50,000 words and send them to a publishing house or magazine.
It is impossible for my novels of the same type as "Harvest" and "Contemporary" to be published, and there is no email address now to send electronic versions.
Nowadays, submissions are almost always sent to magazines or publishing houses in paper form.
For Liu Zhou, "Mengya" magazine was of course the first choice. Later, a group of young writers including Han Han and Guo Xiaosi were discovered by them.
Moreover, they will not discriminate against or ignore youth novels. Another thing is that their channels are relatively wide and their circulation is large.
In the next few days, Liu Zhou proofread and transcribed the 50,000-word text again, and then sent it to Shanghai according to the address on the magazine.
Liu Zhou did not choose to cast a wide net, but only submitted his articles to "Mengya" magazine.
It is both a confidence in the quality of my own novels and a trust in the vision of the magazine editors.
After sending the manuscript, Liu Zhou breathed a sigh of relief.
He was not as worried as he was when he first submitted his manuscript. After all, Liu Zhou had experienced many such moments in his previous life.
Therefore, Liu Zhou's mentality was very peaceful, and he continued to attend classes, read books, exercise, and write novels as usual.
Liu Zhou also enjoys such a regular life. No wonder people miss their college life after entering society, especially when they reach middle age.
Liu Zhou also missed his previous life very much. Now he can experience college life again, and of course he should enjoy his college time.
Perhaps the only thing that Liu Zhou is a little concerned about is the homework he has handed in.
I originally thought that through this assignment I could make the head teacher remember me and thus have a better relationship with him, but now it has been nearly two weeks and there is still no response from the head teacher.
Could it be that Huang Weiruo has too high standards and thinks his own works are mediocre?
It shouldn’t be!
The script of this micro-film by Liu Zhou is a proven good work!
