"Brother Zhou, this is the outline I wrote."
In the dormitory, Liu Feng handed the three drafts in his hand to Zhou Yan.
"Outline?"
Zhou Yan originally thought that Liu Feng was just painting character structures, but he didn't expect that he would also write out the outline.
Zhou Yan took a look at Liu Feng's outline and nodded secretly.
Setting aside the setting and plot, this very neat handwriting was refreshing to him. It can be said that Liu Feng really had his heart in it.
As for him writing the outline during class time, Zhou Yan didn't think anything was wrong.
After entering college, everyone has their own mistakes.
If everything had to be according to the rules of high school, it wouldn't be college.
Learning is just a part of university, but some people value it and some people don't.
The direction is different, and the center of gravity is naturally different.
Zhou Yan sat back down with the outline written by Liu Feng. Liu Feng did not disturb Zhou Yan, but used Zhou Yan's water glass to get a glass of water for Zhou Yan, placed it next to him, and then returned to his own On the seats, Chen Xiaole and Yang Lei went to play ball, and the dormitory was quiet.
Zhou Yan also started to read the outline.
"The Record of the Underworld"
This is the name given by Liu Feng.
It has no intention or highlights, and even tends to be unpopular. If it is a traditional fairy tale creation, with such a name, it will either be a hit on the street or a masterpiece.
Zhou Yan estimated that it was the former.
The plot is very cliché, it is the story of a boy from earth who travels to another world as his soul, then inherits the memory of his predecessor and helps his predecessor to take revenge.
The map setting is quite good. It starts from a small world and goes to the human world, to the pagoda world, to the fairy world, and to the holy world.
It is equivalent to the protagonist fighting monsters all the way to level up.
But Zhou Yan saw the problem at a glance.
There is no emotional focus.
In other words, the protagonist has no motivation.
The behavior along the way is more like the protagonist doing whatever the author wants him to do.
It's okay to write a cool article, but it's stressful.
For example, I first wrote about a treasure that was so awesome, but after the protagonist completed the operation, he got the treasure, but as a result, he was given a bunch of restrictions and the treasure couldn't be used, so he just left it alone.
For example, the protagonist has an encounter with a beautiful cultivator, and the next second, an accident is created for the protagonist to fall in love with her.
Zhou Yan felt a little sick in his stomach.
He can guarantee that if Liu Feng really writes according to this outline, it will not be a fight, but a bloody fight.
To sum it up in one sentence, it's a serious case of sexual harassment. It's fun just for the sake of it, but the result is also unpleasant.
"Brother Zhou, how are you?" Liu Feng stood nearby and asked quickly when he saw Zhou Yan put down the outline manuscript.
Zhou Yan looked at Liu Feng who looked expectant and smiled slightly: "It's very well written."
"Really?" Liu Feng was a little excited.
"Just need to add a little more details." Zhou Yan added.
"Details?" Liu Feng was stunned.
"I'll help you change it," Zhou Yan said.
"Okay! Thank you, Brother Zhou." Liu Feng nodded vigorously.
He also showed the outline to Chen Xiaole and Yang Lei, but they didn't take it as seriously as Brother Zhou. They just said it was good and it was fine, but Zhou Yan had to help him revise it.
"Brother Zhou, what kind of milk tea do you want to drink? I'll buy it for you." Liu Feng asked Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan: "Just have a drink."
"Brother Zhou, wait for me."
Liu Feng said excitedly and ran out of the door.
Zhou Yan smiled, it was rare to see Liu Feng like this.
A little more energetic than before.
Zhou Yan picked up the pen on the table and began to revise Liu Feng's outline.
In fact, there is nothing to say about Liu Feng’s character settings, map settings, and magic weapon settings.
I guess after reading online articles for more than ten years, I have never eaten pork, and I have seen pigs running away.
But an online article is not an outline. To expand an outline of one or two thousand words into a book of one million words requires more than just these so-called settings.
There are a lot of settings to copy online, but what really needs to be improved is the process of getting them.
Only by writing the process in as much detail as possible can the main text not be lacking in content.
Just getting an item, a woman roughly, and ignoring the interaction between the characters, the psychological changes of the characters after the incident, that is the protagonist's one-man show, equivalent to a game that should be online, but you cut off the Internet and play Play.
Fighting and fighting all the way, and finally destroying the world alone.
Played directly as a stand-alone game.
Zhou Yan ran an Internet content company in his previous life, and naturally he could not let go of this sector. However, his company Zhulang mainly operates new media and uses free channels. It does not compete with big websites, but competes with the newly released websites. Tomatoes are being killed back and forth.
It’s just that Tomato’s backend is very hard. It’s ByteDance, which has huge traffic support. Although Zhou Yan controls the content, it can’t resist the fate of becoming a second-rate platform, and can only barely survive as a small part of the company’s revenue.
The fantasy theme Liu Feng wrote, in 10 years, actually, as long as you persist and follow the right path, you will have no worries about whether it will be popular or not.
Most new writers will ignore the importance of the outline and write wherever they think. But Zhou Yan knows that the outline is very important. The outline represents the main line. Without the main line, there is no sense of expectation. Hitting a hammer here and there and a stick will bring freshness. As soon as the child passed, no one looked at it.
Therefore, Zhou Yan re-revised Liu Feng's outline based on the main plot, emotional points, expectations and other aspects.
Just looking at the storyline of Liu Feng's soul-transportation, inheriting the memories of his original body, and resisting the empress, a name that was popular in his previous life suddenly appeared in Zhou Yan's mind.
"Eternal...God Emperor?"
Zhou Yan murmured to himself, his eyes getting brighter and brighter.
"Eternal God Emperor" is a supernatural movie from the previous life and became an instant hit.
It tells the story of the marriage between the crown prince of one empire and the princess of another empire. The two were childhood sweethearts, but the crown prince was killed by the princess on their wedding night and was reborn eight hundred years later to seek revenge on the princess who had become the empress of the Central Empire. .
The core of the explosion is actually that the heroine's setting is very powerful, which naturally gives the protagonist a huge status gap, thus forming a strong sense of expectation that the protagonist can successfully revenge the empress.
Zhou Yan even remembers that the core of the manuscripts received by major online writing platforms in those years were all centered around the line of revenge.
It can be said that "Eternal God Emperor" is another phenomenal masterpiece after "Fights Beyond the Sphere".
Looking at the main plot line of "Eternal God Emperor", it is actually a lot of routines piled up. It is no different from ordinary novice novels, but it adds a huge revenge gimmick, which made this book quickly become popular.
Nowadays, the online literature market is still very empty. There are actually very few large-scale works on the market that can be read. Most of them are 'bad books' piled up by the platform's traffic. It can be said that except for a few "Fights Break the Sphere" and other No one can beat the real masterpiece of novice writing.
Zhou Yan recalled the general plot direction of "Eternal God Emperor" and revised Liu Feng's outline.
Soon, several pieces of draft paper were filled with revised handwriting, and Zhou Yan nodded with satisfaction.
It's just still a little messy.
Zhou Yan turned on the computer, created a new document, and coded the revised outline.
Liu Feng hadn't come back yet, so Zhou Yan went directly to the counselor's office on the third floor, touched Liu Meng's printer, and typed out a few pieces of paper.
Liu Meng watched blankly as Zhou Yan borrowed his printer and computer. After Zhou Yan left, he came to his senses and cursed with a smile: "This kid."
Zhou Yan returned to the dormitory with the printed outline. His cell phone rang and Zhou Yan answered the call.
After chatting for a while, Zhou Yan put down the phone, looked out the window, and smiled.
When Liu Feng came back from buying milk tea, he saw Zhou Yan and handed a cup of exquisitely packaged milk tea to Zhou Yan: "Brother Zhou, your milk tea."
Zhou Yan looked at the price, it was fifteen yuan, and estimated that Liu Feng had suffered a major hemorrhage.
Zhou Yan was not polite, took the milk tea, and handed the printed outline to Liu Feng: "Take a good look at it. If you encounter anything you don't understand, you can ask me."
Liu Feng took the outline in a daze. He rubbed his eyes with some doubts, then leaned over to take a closer look. He murmured: "The setting has not been changed, and the plot is almost the same... "
"Empress, rebirth..."
"Brother Zhou, is this really a modification of the outline I just made?" Liu Feng asked with some uncertainty.
What I wrote and what I write now are completely different.
The outline I originally wrote was dry, but now after Zhou Yan revised it, it suddenly changed.
The plot is still the same, but it is very exciting, and its opening is very cliché, but Zhou Yan modified it and added some background, which made this cliché opening more interesting, and he was even looking forward to watching it. .
It's incredible.
Zhou Yan: "Actually, I've modified it for you based on my own understanding. If you feel dissatisfied, you can still use the original one."
"Brother Zhou's revision is very good. Brother Zhou, why don't you take this and write it yourself? I have a hunch that if you write like this, it will definitely become popular." Liu Feng said.
"Gene Era"
Zhou Yan waved his hand: "I don't have that time, and it doesn't just require an outline. The writing also needs to be polished."
"When you write a few chapters, show them to me first." Zhou Yan added.
Liu Feng asked uncertainly: "Brother Zhou, have you ever written before? I feel like you understand it very well."
Zhou Yan smiled: "I haven't written it before, but I taught others to write it."
"That's right." Liu Feng nodded. He finally understood why Brother Zhou could change a rubbish-looking outline into something so perfect. It turned out that he had taught others to write it.
That makes sense.
Originally, Liu Feng wanted to take the outline printed by Zhou Yan and go back to his seat to digest it, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the old draft of the outline that Zhou Yan put on the table, and subconsciously picked it up. Liu Feng saw an outline on it. After piling up traces of revisions, he picked up the new outline and compared it. Liu Feng suddenly fell silent.
The dense traces of modifications on it touched something in Liu Feng's heart.
But he, a grown man, suddenly shed tears at this moment.
He looked at Zhou Yan and said seriously: "Brother Zhou, thank you."
Zhou Yan patted Liu Feng on the shoulder: "Write well, and then just write down the results and treat everyone to dinner."
In fact, he was not sure whether Liu Feng could persist. Although he was quite persistent, day after day, writing was two different things after all.
Of course, Zhou Yan didn't care much. He was not afraid that Liu Feng would waste this outline. After all, he could write many more outlines like this. If he could help Liu Feng, then he would. If he couldn't, there was nothing he could do.
"Come on." Zhou Yan said again.
Liu Feng met Zhou Yan's encouraging eyes and nodded vigorously.
Zhou Yan smiled and said, "I still have some things to do. Remember to read over them after you finish writing the first few chapters."
Liu Feng: "Definitely."
He secretly made up his mind to write it well and not to let Zhou Yan help revise the outline.
Zhou Yan arrived outside the school gate.
Soon, a taxi stopped at the intersection.
A man in a trench coat with slicked back hair and sunglasses got out of the back seat of a taxi.
The man in the windbreaker came to Zhou Yan, took off his sunglasses, and showed his signature smile to Zhou Yan.
"Long time no see, boy Zhou."
