Chapter 445 Outline Design Is a Long Process

Pu Jie had written a fantasy online novel in his previous life. It was a cliché sword and magic novel that looked very childish.

The novel was really unbearable to read, full of embarrassing dialogues.

But it might be okay if it was made into an anime.

Pu Jie put away his thoughts for a while and began to focus on the next book he was going to write.

A real fantasy, or rather, a Western fantasy.

"Although the award mentioned by the system must refer to a very important traditional novel award, I took a shortcut and asked Teacher Wang to help me find an award that is important but more suitable for online literature. In this way, I only need to design around this award and customize a novel for the overseas market."

"And customized articles are generally targeted at a certain reader group, just like the customized articles for Honor of Kings that Qidian made a lot of noise about some time ago. In fact, there are no other readers except those who play games. If I write in the direction of Western fantasy, I can open up a larger market abroad and avoid the average domestic subscription."

"First of all, the protagonist must have a foreign name and identity, so that it is convenient for overseas readers to substitute."

"Secondly, the social background is also set somewhere abroad. Forget it, don't set it somewhere. It will be bad if it causes regional discrimination. Foreign countries are also divided into different levels. The east, west, south and north regions of the United States look down on each other. If the region is determined, wouldn't it limit yourself?"

Pu Jie shook his head and didn't give himself this trouble.

Now many great writers are also writing books in the same way, all of which are fictional times and redesigning the regions, in order to avoid such things from happening, even though they are designing based on the specific situation of a certain dynasty.

Old bookworms know which category of books are being argued about in the Qidian comments section every day.

Moreover, fictionalization is also convenient for selling copyrights, and there will be no zz mapping problems.

"Okay, then fictional times, fictional regions, write a mysterious and attractive story, for example."

Pu Jie looked up and thought, and suddenly saw a boy in front of him holding a book "The Peak of the Victorian Era".

Hmm?

Pu Jie suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind.

"Victorian Era. Got it! Steampunk!"

No boy can resist the charm of steampunk.

If cyberpunk is still a little ahead of its time, then steampunk is the romance in every boy's heart.

Steam engines, pulley guns, cannons, giant ships, airships.

The most important thing is! Many events and crafts of this period can be found in various books. Borrowing from your own text will greatly enrich the flesh and blood of this book and create a more realistic era environment.

To write a fine book, you must strive for perfection and research materials.

Pu Jie was a little excited when he thought of this.

"Finally. Finally, I am going to create seriously!"

Pu Jie set the time in a background similar to the British Victorian era in the 19th century, with sufficient documents and photos for reference, and most books about steampunk are based on this.

There is no other reason, it is classic! The taste is authentic!

As soon as that taste comes out, it makes people instantly immersed in the play like the translation accent.

Pu Jie thought about it a little bit and felt that the content of the book must be very popular with foreign readers.

After all, compared with the ancient Chinese culture, they can better substitute the Western culture such as the First Industrial Revolution, which they have a deeper understanding of.

Pu Jie does not make any comparison between the two cultures. In the final analysis, he is just a lousy online writer. He just writes whatever is needed. If the domestic environment does not allow writing about some weird and supernatural things and guns, he will naturally let the protagonist catch ghosts in a country with a good life and shoot cannons on the land of free America.

Oh no, shoot guns.

"After the big environment is designed, we need to consider what kind of power system, various characters and plots to design."

Before opening a book, you need to write a very detailed outline to ensure that the quality of the book can be maintained to a large number of words.

We have seen many books collapse after hundreds of thousands of words or one million words, because they did not design an outline that can be written to millions of words.

Pu Jie's book is going to win an award, so it must be carefully designed.

World view, power system, characters, golden fingers, starting angle, and writing style.

These must be carefully considered.

Just opening word and doing it like when writing "Urban Dragon King's Son-in-law" before is definitely not okay.

He must be sophisticated enough to take on this task. His book does not even need to keep updating more than 10,000 words every day. Polishing out fine work is the kingly way. Just think about it. The official award will definitely not be awarded to a brainless white text.

Cultural output must also export some tasteful culture.

Do you think that teaching "NMSL" to foreigners will get official recognition?

Obviously not!

Designing these plots is a complicated job and cannot be done in one go. Pu Jie looked around the study room again but did not find the right inspiration. He could only sigh and prepare to go home to watch more European and American movies to find inspiration.

Pu Jie left his seat and patted the shoulder of the buddy in front of him: "Classmate, can you sell me this "The Peak of the Victorian Era"? I'll give you 200 yuan."

The male student frowned slightly: "Classmate, school is for learning, not for showing off. If you ask to borrow it, I may show it to you, but I'm sorry, what I despise most is your attitude towards knowledge."

Pu Jie stood in awe!

Then use the multi-fish method.

"300?"

The male student's face turned red: "Knowledge is priceless! You are insulting me!"

"500 yuan!"

Boys: (｀д′)

He glared at Pu Jie with a righteous look on his face, thrust the book into his hand, and opened his WeChat payment code.

"Student, please remember! I don't care about the 500 yuan, but I appreciate your tireless attitude towards knowledge!"

Pu Jie nodded and swept the money over: "I can see that you are very principled!"

"Hmph~"

The male student walked out of the classroom straight, his back straighter than anyone else's.

Those who didn’t know better thought they were playing the role of a spy determined to fight to the death!

After getting the book, Pu Jie walked to the library, held the book and studied it carefully to extract some knowledge.

If there is any information you need to find, you can also read more in the library.

Inspiration comes from reading and seeing, not from nothing.

18:00.

Pu Jie rubbed his head and put away the books on the table.

"It's so huge. There's so much to sort out."

"It's a pity that we still haven't found a good power system, nor a refreshing entry point. It's a bit too crude to always start in the academy."

The current fantasy novels on Zhongshan International are all about academia and magic, which is a bit tired of aesthetics.

"Harm! Don't rush the outline design, just take your time."

At this time, Pu Jie just stood up and was about to borrow the basic book he had just read when he received a voice call.

It's from He Mi.

The answer was a burst of cheerful laughter.

"Giggles~ Pu Jie, your clothes are dry. I dried them with a hair dryer for you. Come and get them? I'll wait for you under the library."

Pu Jie thought for a while and decided it was time to eat, so he agreed.

"Okay! We're here."

downstairs.

Under the faint sunset, He Mi stood among a group of young and beautiful girls, holding a piece of clothing and a brown-black iron box.

She pulled Pu Jie to the side, looked at Pu Jie pitifully and said:

"Pu Jie, we are going to play tarot cards together in the evening. They all have boyfriends, but I don't. I seldom talk to boys and don't have many acquaintances. Why don't you pretend? Otherwise I will be so embarrassed."

Pu Jie waved his hand: "Forget it, let's go play. I'll have something to do later."

He Mi held Pu Jie's arm between two big bears and said coquettishly: "Please mess with me, please mess with me~"

Pu Jie wiped a trace of redness from his nose, raised his head and said, "It's agreed, I'll play with you for a while and then leave. I'll go back to stay at night."

"Great!"

Hemi：ヾ(▽)ノ

Pu Jie shook his head. He felt that he might have thought too much. What kind of thoughts could such a simple girl have?

When several people walked out of the school.

A tall boy with a big ball on the basketball court said: "Mingzhe, look, is your girlfriend among the group of girls who just left school? She seems to be holding someone else's arm."

Mingzhe glanced at it casually, but didn't see it clearly.

He smiled and said: "How is it possible? Mimi just told me that they are celebrating their birthdays in their dormitory tonight. They are all girls. Mimi is so simple and can't even lie. You must have read it wrong!"

"Oh, maybe I'm dazzled. Come on, Mingzhe, let's continue!"

"okay!"

Facing the afterglow of the setting sun, Mingzhe lowered the green peaked cap on his head a little more.

"This damn sunshine is so blinding."
