Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 448
Writing a novel, especially an engaging one, is not an easy thing to do, but it's much less difficult if it's just a matter of transport.

The reason why Liang En didn't copy those novels before is also very simple, because he got the card system after he came to this world, so he put all his energy on searching for cultural relics and historic sites, naturally he didn't have much energy Write something.

After all, human energy is limited. Compared with the fame and fortune brought by copying novels, the supernatural power brought by these cards is obviously more attractive to Liang En.

Not to mention that if you work hard to dig out various relics and antiques, you will always have a chance to earn enough money, but no matter how good you are at writing, it is impossible to obtain that supernatural ability.

Of course, at the beginning, there was also the reason why he couldn't remember all the things he had seen before, so he couldn't carry them.However, after repeated strengthening, he can basically recall the things he had seen before.

At the same time, with all the hardware ready, Liang En's reluctance to copy books does not mean that he has any taboos about copying books. In his opinion, it is a big deal to move literary works from another world to this world. A very good thing.

After all, bringing literary works from another world to this world will not harm anyone, but can bring more spiritual food to this world.

In other words, his reluctance to copy books is purely a decision made after weighing the pros and cons after repeated consideration, and there is no moral dilemma.

Especially now that he was in a predicament, Liang En immediately thought of solving this problem through this method, at least compared to rebuilding and advertising, this is the cheapest method.

More importantly, you have to have a reason for writing something, something like owning a castle so you want to write a literary work about it sounds very reasonable.

Especially Liang En is not a pure novice in writing, at least in the eyes of outsiders, he is also the author of a collection of fairy tales such as "Grimm's Fairy Tales" before, so it is normal to open a new book.

As for "Dracula" has a strong religious meaning, and Liang En himself does not believe in religion, the contradiction is also easy to resolve. At least after he got the [Catholic Theology (R)] card last time, he can completely act as a religion. expert.

Not to mention that Joan of Arc's public identity is a rehabilitated nun who grew up in a monastery, so Liang En's writing this kind of novel naturally seems logical.

So in the next 20 days or so, Liang En began to carry out the creative work here. During this process, no one answered the phone except for a few people.

According to the plan, Liang En will carry two books related to vampires, one of which is the most traditional and the originator of vampire novels "Dracula", and the other is the very popular vampire novel "Twilight" in another world. ".

The main reason for choosing these two books is very simple, that is, these two books are the only two novels mainly about vampires that he has read in full.

After all, he was an Internet writer at the time, and reading books was just to collect information for himself, so he would naturally choose the most representative books in this area for reading.

Of course, being selected under such circumstances also proves that these two novels are indeed very good books, even very representative, so no matter from which point of view, this is the best choice now.

However, unlike "Twilight", which was almost copied from the original text, it only took five or six days to finish, Liang En spent more time and energy on "Dracula", a book with fewer words.

The reason for this is also very simple. After all, unlike the more modern "Twilight", the book "Dracula" was created in the Victorian era, so it can be said that it is incompatible with the current era in terms of style .

Therefore, in order for current readers to accept this novel, Liang En has to make some revisions to this book, otherwise there is a high probability that few people will read this book.

Fortunately, because this book is too classic, many people now use this book as the base to shoot TV dramas or movies, so Liang En can use these movies and TV dramas in his mind as materials to modify the content of the book.

Among these content as a model, the movie "400 Years of Surprise" is the most quoted material by Liang En, because it is recognized as the movie that is closest to the original version of the novel.

At the same time, because this movie was shot in the 20s, many modifications have been made to make it more suitable for modern people, and of course it is more in line with Liang En's current needs.

It's just that it is not an easy task to combine the content of the movie with the novel, so Liang En naturally needs to spend a lot of time and energy sorting out the content in order to make the novel have higher reading value.

This also caused the "Twilight Saga" with more words to be moved much faster than "Dracula" with fewer words, and it even took only two weeks to finish "Twilight Saga" the first part of .

Converted into Chinese, the first translation of the book "Twilight" into Chinese only has 25 words. If you simply copy it, two weeks will be enough

Correspondingly, "Dracula", which has 30 words after being translated into Chinese, took twice as long as "Twilight", which has a similar number of words.

Unlike "Twilight", which is basically copied as it is, this book can only tell the core of the story compared to the previous book, but it is completely two books for non-professionals to read.

This is mainly because Liang En modified a lot of places, because although the original version of "Dracula" started the vampire craze, it still has some very big flaws.

For example, the novel begins grandly, with terrifying wolves, a mysterious castle, and an elegant old earl, which easily attract people into the vampire world constructed by the author, but what is puzzling is that the story ends abruptly and hastily at the end .

The earl's head was easily cut off, and such a grand story was brought to an end in just a short plot description, which gave people the feeling of being anticlimactic.

Secondly, the plot arrangement in the book is not completely appropriate. In the second half of the story, the protagonists continue the plot during vigils, meetings, and discussions. The action is slightly lacking, and the readability is naturally weakened.

Fortunately, it is not too difficult to change these things, especially Liang En is an Internet writer in another world, so I still have some experience on how to mobilize the emotions of readers, which can just make up for this aspect of the original book lack of.

However, it will take a certain amount of time to modify these things, even if there are sufficient materials for reference, it is not such a simple matter.

In particular, most of these things came from Liang En's handling, so it is still somewhat difficult to connect the following paragraph with the previous content.

Fortunately, these difficulties can be overcome, so after a month and a half after coming here, Liang En finally finished the two books. For him, the release of the next novel will be related to this castle and his own life. future.
