Back to 1997, I became the originator of online literature

Chapter 207: The Legend of the Demon Lord in the Tomb of Gods

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

Huang Baiming's new movie "Ip Man" revealed to reporters at the airport soon appeared in various media in Hong Kong, and quickly spread to the mainland and Taiwan.

On a passenger plane flying from Hong Kong to the mainland, Zhao Wenzhuo was flipping through the newspaper in his hand.

As I was watching, I saw news about the movie "Ip Man".

"Ip man?"

Having been in the Hong Kong entertainment industry for so long, he had naturally heard of this person.

He was an important figure in spreading Wing Chun in Hong Kong and Bruce Lee's mentor! He knew.

I didn’t expect that this character’s story would also be made into a movie?

Can I play this role?

He frowned in thought.

He is good at northern boxing, such as Tongbeiquan, which is a style of boxing with large openings and closings and long-range strikes.

Wing Chun, on the other hand, is a close combat martial art.

Although he claimed that he knew hundreds of boxing techniques, he was best at Tongbeiquan.

The impression he left on people in the Hong Kong entertainment industry was also that of Northern Kung Fu.

Therefore, he estimated that it would be difficult for him to get the role of Ip Man.

Putting down the newspaper, he looked out the window towards Huizhou and felt that he should still focus on Yi Dian Hui in Zhongyuan.

If Zhongyuan Yidianhui can write a biographical film script like "Ip Man", he should also be able to write a biographical film about northern Kung Fu masters.

During the years he has been in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, as a kung fu actor, he has long had a very obvious feeling - because many southern boxers have moved to Hong Kong, the kung fu biographical films shot in the Hong Kong film and television industry are basically about the more famous masters of southern boxing.

For example, Huang Feihong, Tieqiao San, Fang Shiyu, Hong Xiguan, Su Can and so on.

There are very few biographical films about northern kung fu masters.

This means that for an actor who is good at northern Kung Fu, he has lost many opportunities to perform.

And now, he sees hope in the emerging writer Zhongyuan Yidianhui.

As a mainlander, Zhongyuan Yidianhui should be willing to bring the image of a northern Kung Fu master to the big screen, right?

What if the Central Plains don't understand Northern Kung Fu?
Zhao Wenzhuo looked down at his hands, smiled, and thought: At worst, I can demonstrate a few more northern boxing techniques to him, such as Tongbei, Tai Chi, Bagua, Xingyi... I will demonstrate whichever boxing technique he wants to learn. If he can't remember it, I will find a camera to record it and leave it for him to watch slowly. Anyway, it doesn't take much time to demonstrate a few boxing techniques.

……

The same morning.

Cao Sheng was practicing Tai Chi in the lobby on the first floor of the villa.

He has learned this set of boxing skills for some time, and has become quite proficient in practicing it, but his power is still not obvious.

Traditional martial arts are so difficult to practice.

Fortunately, he practiced this set of boxing skills not for fighting with others, but mainly to prepare for writing "The Legend of Dragon and Snake" in the future, and to strengthen his body at the same time.

Wearing a white sports suit, his face was as calm as water, and his movements were sometimes fast and sometimes slow, consciously imitating the charm of Jet Li practicing Tai Chi in the movie.

After practicing several sets of boxing, even in the cold winter, he practiced until sweat appeared on his forehead. After finishing his boxing, he walked to the coffee table and sat down. He poured himself a glass of boiled water and drank it while resting.

A thought flashed through my mind: It's time to find another master and learn another set of boxing techniques.

When others practice martial arts, they may focus on specialization.

But the purpose of his practicing martial arts is to write novels about various traditional Kung Fu duels, so he doesn't want to specialize, but rather to learn a variety of things, hoping that he can master a little bit of most traditional Kung Fu.

He doesn't mind being eclectic.

He even hoped that he could be like Wang Yuyan in Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, who knew all the martial arts of various schools in the world, but he was only a theorist.

If he is really familiar with all kinds of traditional Chinese Kung Fu, then when he writes novels and fighting scenes in the future, he will be able to use all kinds of moves and martial arts theories at will.

He didn't know that Zhao Wenzhuo was on his way to Huizhou, and he didn't know that Zhao Wenzhuo wanted to demonstrate a few sets of boxing to him. At this time, he was already thinking about whether he should go to Beijing. There must be some traditional martial arts schools in Beijing. It should be easier to learn kung fu in Beijing.

After resting for a while, he took a shower, went out for breakfast, came back, made a cup of tea and went up to the study on the third floor.

After turning on the computer, he first updated the fourth chapter of the new book.

Then I created a new document and prepared to create an original fantasy movie script to replace "The Legend of Shu" in the new book outline.

He knows that his works "I Want to Become an Immortal" and "God's Tomb" should be able to sell the game adaptation rights in the future, and may also be adapted into TV series.

But it is difficult to adapt into a movie.

The main reason is that the special effects requirements for movies are relatively high, and they cannot have five-cent special effects like TV dramas. TV dramas are generally broadcast for free, so the audience can tolerate poor special effects.

But movies require audiences to spend real money to buy tickets to watch them.

If the special effects are a little worse, the audience will curse.

Whether it is "I Want to Become a Fairy" or "God's Tomb", if they were made into movies, too many special effects would be needed, and I'm afraid no one would dare to invest in such a movie.

But as the author of these two novels, how could he not want them to be made into movies and put on the big screen?
Since everyone thinks that novels about immortality and cultivation are not suitable for being made into movies because the investment cost is too high, I will turn it into a movie in the novel and have a blast!

Thinking of this, he entered the name of the script at the top of the document: "Legend of the Demon Lord in God's Tomb".

What he wanted to excerpt was the story of the demon lord Yang Mingxiu, which was recently serialized in "Shenmu".

He felt that Yang Mingxiu's story was very legendary. If it was really made into a movie, the special effects needed would not be as many as "The Legend of Zu Mountain", and it would probably be about the same as the special effects cost of "Storm and Thunder".

After "Feng Yun Xiong Ba Tian Xia", since they were able to shoot the second part, it means that the investment in the first part should not be as shocking as "The Legend of Zu", and they should have made money.

Otherwise, what's the reason for a second film?
In "God's Tomb", the Demon Lord Yang Mingxiu was just a scholar in Yongzhou Kingdom at the beginning. He was the top scorer in liberal arts in high school and was known as the pearl of Yongzhou Kingdom. It was said that he had extraordinary talent.

Such a great talent is extremely dazzling in the mortal world.

But Yang Mingxiu was deeply moved after witnessing the death of his good friend, and suddenly lost interest in fame, wealth and glory.

He didn't want to turn into dust like his good friend decades later.

He resigned from his official position and began to seek the immortal way.

He joined the Wentian Sect, the most powerful sect in the world of cultivation.

In just a few decades, he became the leader of the ten great disciples of the Wentian Sect and was hailed as the best in the Wentian Sect.

A hundred years later, he took over the position of the sect leader, which means he reached the top of the food chain in the world of cultivation.

After that, he led the Wentian Sect to be chivalrous, eliminate demons and defend the way of Taoism, and became a role model in the world of cultivation.

If he had suddenly died during this period, with his achievements, he would have become one of the most outstanding leaders in the history of the Wentian Sect.

It will also be remembered by countless future generations and become a legend in the world of cultivation.

But he did not die during this period.

He experienced the nine-fold heavenly tribulation of the Mahayana period three times.

After failing to ascend to the fairyland after overcoming the nine-fold heavenly tribulation twice, he did not give up. Before overcoming the tribulation for the third time, he invited top masters from all over the world of cultivation, hoping to combine their strength and reopen the path to ascension.

Such courage has won admiration from the entire cultivation world.

However, even with the combined strength of all the masters, they were unable to reopen the path to ascension.

Yang Mingxiu has been silent for more than a hundred years since then.

Just when many people in the outside world doubted whether he was dead, he reappeared and fought his way into the Nine Nether Demon Realm alone. Relying only on the Sword of Asking the Sky, he defeated several major demon kings in the demon world, brought them all under his command, unified the demon world, proclaimed himself the Demon Lord, and after reading the unique skills of several major demon kings, he created the first magic skill in the history of the demon world - "Boundless Demon Prison".

After creating this magic skill, the former leader of the Wentian Sect and Yang Mingxiu's master came to the Demon Realm to clear out the sect, but he could not withstand three moves of this magic skill. If Yang Mingxiu had not taken their old friendship into consideration, the former leader would have died.

Cao Sheng felt that such a story was suitable for being adapted into a script.

If it is made into a movie in the future, not too many special effects will be needed.

It should be able to be used in the new book to replace the original "The Legend of Shushan".

In front of the computer.

He divided Yang Mingxiu's life into several stages according to the timeline.

Sort out the main storyline first.

The first stage was the years before Yang Mingxiu took charge of the Wentian Sect.

The second stage was the time when Yang Mingxiu was in charge of the Wentian Sect.

The third stage is the years after Yang Mingxiu entered the demon world.

Then we break down each stage into smaller plots.

When each small plot is clearly listed, the main characters involved in the entire script will become clear at a glance.

It was at this time that he began to set the main characters of the script.

Although he was not sure whether this script would have a chance to be made into a movie in the future, he still carefully wrote the story according to the script format.

……

Cao Sheng was writing the script.

The fourth chapter of his new book, which he just updated today, has already caught the eyes of many readers.

There are two main plots in this chapter.

First, it has been a week since the protagonist and others came to the world of "One Man's Martial Arts". During this week, the number of members in the protagonist's team has been reduced from 8 at the beginning to 3.

The other five people died in various accidents this week.

This movie world is very exclusive to outsiders like them, and various accidents are arranged for them every day.

During this week, the protagonists also summed up a pattern: the world's rejection of them has fixed time, just like the regular time of defecation of various animals every day. This movie world only arranges one accidental killing for them every day, and the time of the accident is almost the same every day. As long as everyone can safely survive this accidental killing every day, they will basically be safe at other times of the day.

The second plot is: the three surviving protagonists finally found Feng Yuxiu's whereabouts.

But he found out that Feng Yuxiu's wife had cancer and was losing her hair every day. She was becoming more and more miserable, and Feng Yuxiu became more and more silent.

Faced with this situation, one of the three protagonists took the initiative to appear in front of Feng Yuxiu and suggested to Feng Yuxiu that they rob a bank and use the money to treat his wife's illness.

Feng Yuxiu grabbed him by the throat and choked him.

Then, Feng Yuxiu decided to go all out and turned around and broke the neck of his wife who was suffering from illness with his own hands.

The remaining two members of the protagonist group were so frightened that they dared not breathe.

They were afraid that Feng Yuxiu would find them and kill them as well.
