Chapter 1075: Legend of Sword and Fairy

"When do you start preparing comic scripts?"

On the night when she returned to Meng's house, Alice asked Meng Huo that she had heard in the car that he was going to prepare a script for a comic, and then handed it over to Zhongxia and asked Zhao Mei to draw it into a comic.

"I'll talk about it in two days. I have to think about what kind of script I want to write." Meng Huo said.

After returning to the Meng family, Meng Huo was worried that he would hurt Alice's belly and wanted to sleep alone in a room, but Alice still let him stay by his side.

The two talked about their debut in Zhongxia. Meng Huo did not plan to paint with Zhao Mei. What he wanted to do was to work with Zhao Mei.

Simply put, he will have a new pseudonym, who will debut with Zhao Mei as a newcomer. Just like the previous combination of Xi Wenlin and Tomato, Meng Huo debuted at Zhongxia Company as the original author of the comics, while Zhao Mei is a painter in charge of the comics. They divided the work and made their debut together.

"Fortunately, you didn't plan to give the authorship of the work to others."

When Alice heard that Meng Huo debuted as the author of the original case, she had no doubts anymore. Although she did not agree with Meng Huo's practice of adding another job to her, she knew it would be difficult for her to change Meng Huo's will, so she chose to respect her.

The first thing Meng Huo did when he debuted at Zhongxia Company was to keep his identity hidden, so he could never draw by himself. Although his paintings had many different styles, he was too famous and could not be discovered in full view of everyone.

Assuming that he interferes in Zhao Mei's paintings, there are not many geniuses in China who can write stories and draw, and the possibility of exposure increases greatly.

In addition, Meng Huo must remain hidden in front of Zhao Mei. Although he is not sure why Zhao Mei doesn’t like Phoenix Company, he doesn’t like it, and Meng Huo doesn’t want to let this cooperation fail because of exposing himself.

Even if he is not exposed, as long as he draws, Zhao Mei will definitely feel that he has been deceived. This mysterious "partner" can draw, so why do you still have to look for her? Isn't this a conspiracy?

Especially if you know Meng Huo's identity, Zhao Mei might feel that he was insulted, and Meng Huo would avoid this.

But he wasn't sure what kind of story he should prepare.

On the first day back to Su Hua, Meng Huo accompanied Alice out for a walk and then made a preliminary decision that he could not prepare the script for the comics.

To be precise, he couldn't turn the comics he saw in his previous life into scripts, and then handed them over to Zhao Mei to draw them, which turned out to be a comic. Does he need others to make it into a comic?

No, of course not needed

Meng Huo valued Zhao Mei, but didn't think she could draw comics better than herself. At least she could not do this so far. The original work is a comic book that is more suitable for Meng Huo to take action by herself. When she handed it to others, she would have to prepare the script first. If the process is troublesome, the result may not be good.

Therefore, what Meng Huo wants to hand over to Zhao Mei will be a work that is "not a comic", which will save Meng Huo a lot of time.

"How is World of Warcraft?"

This evening, Alice gave a proposal, which is a good choice for both production efficiency and economic value.

If Meng Huo could create scripts for this game and then let Zhao Mei make it into a comic, after the comic is released, it can not only promote the game "World of Warcraft" in advance, but also reduce the troubles in making some game scripts. Combining comic scripts and game scripts can be said to be the best of both worlds.

However, Meng Huo denied it immediately, and the reason was simple, and World of Warcraft was easily exposed.

"I want a work that is not suspected to be my creation, and I should try to distinguish the style from previous comics."

He said this, and then he already had some thoughts in his mind.

He thought that the theme of the immortal tale story with Chinese style in his previous life might be very good. There have always been legends such as immortals and monsters in this world. Taoism is the belief of many people. Xianxia novels will have a strong sense of substitution and breeding soil in the hearts of Chinese readers. It can be said that it is the best choice for debut.

"What do you think of a story like this?"

Meng Huo seeks Alice's advice.

"The audience will indeed be very wide." Alice is very happy that Meng Huo was able to ask her own opinions when creating a work. This is not common.

She thinks that the theme of Xianxia is really good. Although there are not a Xianxia comics nowadays, there is no Xianxia comic that can be regarded as a "benchmark". Alice is looking forward to Meng Huo being able to write such a work.

Meng Huo knew that Xianxia comics were difficult to draw. In fact, this should be one of the most popular themes of Chinese comics, provided that Meng Huo did not appear.

Meng Huo brought comics, but in fact it also brought a great influence. After six or seven years, he has now become the ruler of Chinese comics. It has had a huge impact.

Although he has been trying to localize and Chinese, it is undeniable that those comics actually have a strong Japanese style. This style is not bad, but it has limited the rise of Chinese local style to some extent.

Meng Huo sometimes thinks that if he has not come to this world, the comic industry in this world will move forward at its pace. Perhaps in more than ten or twenty years, the comic world formed will be a comic world that he is very unfamiliar with and full of Chinese charm.

Occasionally, Meng Huo would really want to see such a world. He felt that it was time to explore traditional culture and try different comic styles.

"Actually, I have always been worried about repeating the same mistake." Meng Huo sighed. Alice didn't understand what he said was to repeat the same mistake.

“I’m worried that the comics world will become stiff.”

Meng Huo answered Alice in another way. In fact, the repeated mistake he was worried about was naturally the mistake of Japanese comics in his previous life.

The comics created by that small country in the previous life did have a very glorious history. However, in the later period, its comic style and plot actually entered a vicious cycle, slowly began to decline, and were chased by other countries.

Meng Huo believes that this is a lack of culture, a natural reaction to the extreme development of an industry. The maturity of genres and styles leads to the lack of innovation. Meng Huo hopes that the comics in this world can bloom all over the world.

Huaxia Comics has not reached its peak yet and is still in its rapid development stage. In fact, Meng Huo does not need to worry about what happens after it matures, but this does not prevent Meng Huo from transforming and expanding it before it matures.

He wanted to put more elements in the comics world and let more possibilities emerge. Although Meng Huo didn't know what impact this would have now, he felt that he should try it.

Such thoughts are actually related to Jingyue. Although her comics have been "tailored" according to China, there is still a great Western fantasy flavor. Meng Huo's comics rarely have such flavors. Sometimes when he sees Jingyue's comics, he will especially like the exotic styles inside.

However, the biggest style is actually the Chinese style. Works derived from Chinese culture. If they are well created, the impact may not be lower than "One Piece".

Meng Huo planned to try it out, and he was very cautious in choosing the first work. The greater the expectations, the higher the quality requirements of the work.

He chose "Legend of Sword and Fairy", a work with extraordinary influence. But there is a problem with this work, that is, Meng Huo has never read the novel "Legend of Sword and Fairy" and has never played the original game. His understanding of this work is limited to its TV series.

This means that he has very little information about "Legend of Sword and Fairy", so little that he only knows the stories in the TV series of the first generation Li Xiaoyao, and does not know the details of the original game, nor does he know the subsequent versions.

The only thing that transcends TV series is the subsequent ending of some characters. For example, a certain heroine is not dead at all. Meng Huo also appeared in the following few movies, but because he searched curiously in his previous life.

What he knew was condensed into one sentence: "I only know the story of Li Xiaoyao."

And another problem arises here. If you create the script of "Legend of Sword and Fairy", what Meng Huo does is actually to create his own text narrative and he is responsible for it.

This is like someone telling you a story about Little Red Riding Hood and asking you to describe it in your own words, because the plot of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" is very long and very difficult, and for Meng Huo, it may be the most difficult challenge in history.

He still has the confidence to do a good job in comics, but in writing, he asked him to turn "Legend of Sword and Fairy" into a comic script according to his own ideas, Meng Huo felt a little stressed.

In addition to "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", he certainly has other simpler choices, such as some fairy tale novels I read in my previous life. It is very difficult to directly bring them here.

However, based on the quality of each work, Meng Huo found that the plot of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is more compact, tortuous and moving. Although it was a bit more difficult, he still gritted his teeth and decided to choose this work.

This was the first time Meng Huo had such a high challenge. He did not take action casually. Instead, he spent a few days adjusting his condition.

In the past few days, Meng Huo began to read some fairy tale novels in China, recalling the fairy tale novels and TV series I read in his previous life, and even animations, and then listened to many ancient songs.

He threw the comic aside, calmed his heart in a "fairy aura", and slowly searched for the feeling.

Finally, he felt it was almost done. Another night, after Alice fell asleep deeply, Meng Huo got up and put on his clothes and picked up the computer.

He began to write the script of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" on his computer. The countless works of fairy tales that he has seen in his past life flowed in his mind. Every word, every breath of fairy tales, every feeling, every character's smile, the young man standing with a sword...

Meng Huo felt that his thinking had become extremely broad, and his spiritual power made him seem to be omnipotent. He could understand every word under the keyboard. He seemed to have absorbed the essence of all the works. As long as the content he thought of could always pour out from the computer.

This feeling seemed to be the first time he came to this world to draw. As long as he thought, he could do anything more than painting, but also words.

After coming to his senses, his back was covered with sweat. To this day, Meng Huo's physical strength is no longer comparable to when he was fourteen years old. He may not sweat even if he painted for a day.

In addition, the weather was not hot in winter, Meng Huo was surprised that he was sweating. He looked out the window and the sunlight shone in.

"Good morning, you finally came back to your senses." Alice had already gotten up at some point, and she walked into the room with a bowl of hot porridge. It was obviously breakfast time.

"I've finished my meal. I just read the story of your writing so well, so I didn't bother you." Alice put the porridge on the table and said with some distress: "Why are you trying so hard? Even if your body can bear it, you can't write all night!"

"I know, I will pay attention in the future."

Meng Huo saved the script, then picked up the porridge and started eating. In fact, he didn't plan to stay up late at the beginning, but he was accidentally controlled by the psychic energy again.

"Can I see what you wrote?" Alice asked.

"Of course." Meng Huo gave up his seat and handed the computer to Alice. Alice sat down and looked at the document, and was stunned.

"Eighty thousand words? Don't tell me that all these were written by you last night..."

"Yes, it was written by me." Meng Huo nodded. Alice was not surprised at all. His coding speed was nearly ten thousand words per hour... It is hard for ordinary people to imagine.

"You are really a monster."

Alice was amazed at her tongue. Meng Huo’s typing speed was too fast. Some professional online writers only typed for two or three thousand per hour, but Meng Huo could actually do ten thousand.

Of course, there are not people with such high speeds, but if you keep them for eight hours, you will basically lose such people. This requires extremely high spiritual concentration. Most people cannot do it at all. If you don’t have a rest for an hour or two, your head will not be able to keep up with your thinking.

"These manuscripts have been enough to turn into comics for several months."

Meng Huo said happily that he wrote the story in detail, but the number of words of 80,000 words is enough for comics to be drawn for several months and is very slow to tell stories, far from the same as the text.

He initially estimated that it would take more than a year for the comic "Legend of Sword and Fairy" to be completed, and if he uses his psionic energy, he can write the script in just a few nights.

"I know...you eat first, don't worry about me for a long time. I can watch these 80,000 words for a long time."

Alice looked at the document and seemed to be very sensible.

Meng Huo finished the porridge while eating it, then sent it to the kitchen, and then chatted with the old lady and Li Qin in the living room for a while, and it took a long time before returning to the room.

Alice happened to finish reading the document. She looked back at Meng Huo who was walking in, her face full of incredible expressions.
