Post-shadow Development Plan

As soon as he mentioned work matters, Lao Xu immediately became serious.

He knew that the next step was his own interview, which was the key to whether he could get the right to write a novel.

"First of all, can you accept the creation when the outline of the plot is confirmed?"

Strictly speaking, the Fate novels and comics this time are all propositional compositions.

This mode of writing is not acceptable to all story creators.

This is why no matter whether it is a light novel converted into a manga, or a light novel of a fan drama, it is rare for famous writers to write.

After all, let yourself create under other people's ideas, and those authors who have become famous are rarely able to accept such conditions.

Lao Xu said seriously: "Yes, I have read the outline, I can accept such a story."

Qiye was noncommittal, anyway, he would write in the agreement about the degree of modification of the plot, so there would never be such a thing as Lao Xu wanting to change the plot secretly.

"About your work, I... have already read it, and it's very good, but I hope you don't get too entangled in individual plots."

Qiye puts the word "individual" very seriously, and he doesn't want Lao Xu to write an R18 work like "On How to Get Matou Sakura".

"We will distribute this novel globally, so what you write should be as popular as possible."

Lao Xu nodded and said in agreement: "I can understand, I will try my best to do it."

Qiye looked at this guy suspiciously, he always felt that if the other party promised so happily, there would be some pitfalls waiting for him.

"So what do you think about the story itself?"

Qiye wanted to confirm Lao Xu's understanding of the story of the HF line.

"This is not a traditional hero story."

After thinking carefully, Lao Xu replied: "I don't know how Kiryu-sensei's movie version is set up, but in this story called HF, the protagonist Emiya Shiro is not a hero in our perception.

"The biggest characteristic of heroes in traditional stories is that they discard the small for the big, and they always consider the interests and happiness of the majority from their own point of view.

"So we can often see in the stories that heroes risk their lives and sacrifice themselves to save the world."

"If it is in a traditional story, Emiya Shiro, as a hero, should kill his lover to achieve his own self. But this decision that is in the interests of the majority is based on ignoring the happiness of the individual.

"But for Emiya Shirou, Matou Sakura is the only person he loves in this world, and it is also the whole world in his heart.

"So even if it is possible for the whole world to be invaded by malice, Emiya Shirou is still unwilling to give up Matou Sakura.

"This choice is not a heroic performance in the eyes of others, it can even be said to be stubborn.

"From the standpoint of an outsider, almost everyone will not understand the other party's determination to protect someone or something even if they are enemies of the world.

"In fact, this has a similar character growth curve to the hero in my "The Song of Saya", both are stories about giving up the whole world for the one you love.

"It can be said that this is the most fragile side of human nature, but it is also the most simple beauty of human nature. Therefore, Emiya Shiro in the HF story is not a hero, he is just an ordinary mortal."

After a long speech, Lao Xu was a little thirsty. He took a sip of hot tea from his teacup to moisten his throat, and waited for the result of his interview.

"Um……"

Qiye pondered, although Lao Xu's understanding of the core of the story of the HF line is not completely consistent with his own understanding, but the central idea is still unified.

"I understand." Qiye said with a smile, "Go to Jiufeng to sign the contract, and get the original plot and character settings by the way."

"Thank you."

"The novel will be divided into three volumes, the first, the middle, and the lower, and the first volume will be released in July next year."

Qiye informed Lao Xu of her promotional timetable and reminded him.

"Although it seems that the time is still long, considering the revision of the content and the translation of the English version, you should complete the writing of the first volume before March next year at the earliest. Do you understand?"

Although Lao Xu doesn't have the particularly serious procrastination like mushrooms, he still reminds the other party.

At least in this way, even if Lao Xu delays the draft, he has a reason to send him to Africa to sell his ass.

"Is it okay?"

After Lao Xu left, Zhi Zhi asked with some concern.

"What's all right?"

"The plot of the novel, Miss Xiawu, won't she be happy?"

Zhi Ke has read the outline of the novel, and his reaction to the twisted encounters of several characters in it is——
