At this time, the true power of [Literature Encyclopedia System] is fully reflected!
After Li Chungang spent a total of 6.2 million to unlock the work "The Da Vinci Code", he immediately got an "immersive" opportunity presented by the system, like this as an absolute third party to watch the entire novel story The line runs from the beginning to the end, which will also help the host to better understand the true content and emotions that this work wants to express. Even if you want to modify some parts of the work later, it will be more handy.
It takes about 12 hours to fly from Yanjing International Airport to Auckland Airport in New Zealand.
Therefore, in the eyes of He Miao——
Li Chungang simply closed his eyes and took a rest after watching the tablet for a long time before feeling tired. Little did he know that at this time he was completely immersed in the plot of "The Da Vinci Code"...
What he didn't know was that the storyline of "The Da Vinci Code" that he was "immersively" seeing at this time was actually the content of the movie of the same name from another plane, and it could also be described as "God Viewing Mode". Encyclopedia system] brings immersive black technology!
Because it involves sensitive religious themes, "The Da Vinci Code" has been in constant turmoil since the beginning of filming. The protests and letters of opposition from the Catholic League and ministry groups made the film the most popular film in 2005-2006 on another planet Earth. Controversial video.
Director Ron Howard made it clear that the film will not be overly entangled in religious issues, and admitted that the focus of the film is on thrilling, suspenseful, and exciting plots. For the purpose of horror, Ron Howard did his homework and revealed that he re-watched many classic thrillers including "The Exorcist" and "Rosemary's Baby".
And promised to fans of the novel "The Da Vinci Code" around the world that on the premise of keeping the story frame of the novel unchanged, Akiva Goldsman, the gold medal screenwriter, will make changes to the "anti-Catholic theme" in the novel, and finally reach the point where the audience can accept it.
Although the film, which is synchronized with the novel, has been controversial since the film company announced its shooting.
Even from the first day of publication and sales of "The Da Vinci Code", which people of faith call a deviant work, it has been a wild swing between praise and criticism.
It is precisely because of the excessive controversy and wide-ranging influence that this film, which was well received and popular at the beginning, basically missed the major film awards in Europe and the United States, and only won a Golden Globe Award for Best Film Soundtrack. Nomination, pay attention to the key points, generally this kind of award is also called "consolation prize" in the circle.
The so-called East is not bright and the west is bright, did not win awards in Europe and the United States, but won the Best Foreign Language Film at the Japanese Film Academy Awards, the Most Popular Drama Movie at the People’s Choice Awards in China, etc...
Obviously, "The Da Vinci Code" has a better market among young people!
"The Da Vinci Code" is not just a thriller and suspense novel, but also has connotations.
Who would have thought that Leonardo da Vinci, a painter who is sought after all over the world, hides so many secrets in his paintings, and there are various unbelievable code-breaking methods in his novels.
The reasoning process and brain-burning degree are simply driving people crazy!
Many years later, maybe everyone has forgotten what the "Da Vinci Code" is about, but they will never forget the various incredible deciphering methods that appear in this book. It is estimated that professors and experts who study cryptography around the world After reading it, I can't help but fall through my glasses!
As long as books that can sell well all over the world, whether it is novels, chicken soup literature or fairy tale books, there is no doubt that they all have the "charm" to attract readers.
The charm of the book "The Da Vinci Code" lies in the hidden code-breaking plots of the interlocking and interlocking paintings in the story, which shine brightly in the entire literature, film, fantasy art. Shine bright and leave your own mark.
It's not that Li Chungang has never written horror works. In fact, he made his debut in this genre. For example, "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" also belongs to the horror genre.
But "The Da Vinci Code" is different from the reasoning and horror of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" written before. It is two completely different types. Simply put, it is the difference between Eastern and Western cultures. Combined, writing a semiotics expert who was involved in a murder case and had to decipher the secrets contained in it step by step has a lot of code-breaking content.
Horror and horror are not limited to bloody scenes or cruel torture, piercing and desperate screams, there are not many positive descriptions of violent plots, but the tense atmosphere of solving puzzles step by step is in the hearts of the characters The world and the heart rise up in the process.
The movie "The Da Vinci Code" is a classic, but the novel is actually even better. Words can never be replaced by images!
The most successful part of this film is not the controversial and sensitive religious issues, but the heinous details, a sense of urgency and logical rigor revealed from the text, as if you clearly read half of the content, Often because of a puzzle, I have to go back and reason again from the beginning. These clues are all interlocking, and if any link is missing, the next link cannot be deduced.
Li Chungang, who is in the God-watching mode, knows that he is in the "immersive scene" of the Literary Encyclopedia system, and all these are just illusory illusions, but there is still a sense of urgency that comes with the development of the story, and he feels a sense of sympathy. Qi Yan.
He laughed silently, this should be the real charm of thriller and suspense reasoning works!
[Literary Encyclopedia System] The flow of time is slower than the normal time in the outside world, so it seems that only two hours have passed in the outside world, and it will take about ten hours to travel to the destination Auckland. , In fact, he has already experienced a whole story time, and after the whole immersive experience is over, this is the time when he is most impressed, and he can just recall the content of the story carefully during this time.
Not only did I watch the movie of the same name from beginning to end, but I even took the time to read the original book carefully. However, compared with the movie of the same name, the unnecessary content of the plot was cut out due to the length of the movie, which made the whole storyline seem more complicated. It is extremely compact and very exciting, but the original novel is not enough. There are not so many things that need to be explained, and many things need to be paved first, and the effect will be better if it is drawn out later.
—
Li Chungang admires the original work Dan Brown's ability to create "The Da Vinci Code", especially from the perspective of "the picture created by Da Vinci" as the starting point of the whole story, it is absolutely amazing to the world.
Before that, no one! not a single one! I would have doubted whether there is any code hidden in Da Vinci's picture, and no one would use their brains and fantasy to perfectly combine with reality to form such a seamless and interlocking story.
Who would have thought that Dan Brown actually studied music and made music before creating literature, and once released a music CD called "Angels & Demons" (Angels & Demons).
Now if Li Chungang wants to write "The Da Vinci Code", he needs to add a lot of corresponding knowledge. It is not impossible to copy the original content verbatim, but this is not what he wants. Yes, and based on his current opinion after watching the entire work...
There is still room for improvement in the works!
After all, jokes are not nonsense, and adaptations are not random compilations. If you write something random, you have to apologize to all readers!
It happens to be going to the United States next week to record the Allen Show. At that time, I can ask someone from Random House or Universal Pictures if there is a way to borrow some detailed information about Da Vinci and his paintings. , if possible, it would be best to bring it back to the country.
In addition, this book was written in another plane in 2004. Let’s not say that there are negligible but somewhat different differences between the two planes. Let’s say that the time axis is the same as in today’s society. There are certain differences, which naturally need to keep pace with the times.
Otherwise, a work written by the post-2000s will be inseparable from many places in 2004. Don't tell me that I can already create when I was four years old.
But this is exactly what Li Chungang needs to gradually master, and even said that he already has relevant experience, because the end of "The Lord of the Rings" was born after its refinement.
But seven days later, the time for the trip to the United States was very tight. Not only did they have to record the Allen Show, but they also agreed to sign and sell the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy at Random House, and at the same time help Evans to sell the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy. "Director candidates give their own opinions.
In less than a week, I couldn't spare any time to find religious books and relevant information. If it was impossible, I had to wait until I returned home to find a solution.
Fortunately, "The Da Vinci Code" does not need to be written immediately. The popularity of "Lord of the Rings" is still shining, but the sales are dropping sharply every day. I believe it will soon reach a stage of saturation. Of course There is still plenty of time, so you can prepare slowly without rushing.
It is estimated that his readers, even book reviewers, media professionals, and publishing professionals will be surprised by this new book type. Who would have thought that Li Chungang would write a thriller and suspense work.
"The Da Vinci Code" and "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" all belong to the same genre, but they are specific but different, and a hundred flowers bloom together.
Li Chungang first "watched" the movie of the same name in the Literary Encyclopedia system, and then read the original work non-stop. After he came out of the system, he found that his whole mind was exhausted. The flow rate of time is different, but the energy consumed will not decrease.
He opened his eyes, stood up from his position, and briefly moved his sore and stiff body muscles and bones and joints. The plane has not yet flown out of our country's airspace, and the distance between the north and the south is too wide!
He Miao gently put down the book in her hand. She didn't want to disturb the rest of the rest, so she leaned over and said in a low voice, "I think you can see what the person in front is reading."
"What book? Is it a playboy?"
The privacy of the first-class seat is very good. From Li Chungang's angle, he can't see the person in front at all, and even his head is tightly sealed without leaking a single gap.
"You'll know it when you come to me. I saw him take it out from the moment he got on the plane, and he's still holding it."
The young man has nothing else but his curiosity is very strong, especially after listening to He Miao's description, it seems that there is something wonderful about that book.
Who knew that Li Chungang didn't play cards according to the routine at all, and quickly changed his face and said: "Oh, let him see his, can I ask him to borrow it."
"Aren't you curious?"
"Curious, but in fact, from your expression and tone of voice, I already have an almost indistinguishable guess." Li Chungang said righteously, his expression looked extremely serious.
There are two obvious keywords related to himself and literary works. With his ingenuity, he only needs to connect these two keywords together, and after a simple thought, he can get an answer that is very close to Zhenxiang——
Not surprisingly, what the passengers in the front row are looking at must be works written by myself!
He Miao's wishful thinking came to nothing, she sighed and took the initiative to solve the mystery: "It looks like a middle-aged foreigner in his forties, reading your "Lord of the Rings"."
The disappointment was beyond words!
Li Chungang crossed Erlang's legs, and whispered bb: "It's exactly what I guessed, I'm so smart! Hahaha..."
"Don't pretend to be good when you get cheap, look at your smug expression, put your smile away!"
