Crowdfunding to write a book!
In fact, this is not a joke about the copied chapter.
What many people don’t know is that the original novel of “The Martian” actually had elements of crowdfunding to write the book in a sense.
The author Andy Weir is a technology geek.
He will actually propose possible problems that may arise on Mars based on the current situation on Mars, and then think of solutions for each problem.
This extreme pursuit of truth even affected the structure of his works.
You will find:
Every time the protagonist of his novel encounters a problem, it basically follows this pattern:
Analyze and hypothesize first;
Then verify it on a smaller scale;
Then determine the plan;
Finally, implement it!
This is why everyone feels that every detail in the novel is incredibly real. This tangible sense of reality is also the most fascinating part of the novel.
But this is not entirely the author's credit.
Because Andy Weir's readers are similar to the author, most of them are technology geeks.
Among these people are many professional chemists, physicists, electronic engineers, and so on.
They actually sat down and calculated those things in The Martian and pointed out that one of them was not scientifically accurate!
at last.
Andy Weir directly picked out about three thousand very professional readers.
These people do nothing but find mistakes in what he writes.
This process made him more confident in the scientific accuracy of his work because it was tested by many professionals.
A very hardcore way to crowdfund a book.
Even the people at the space agency were dumbfounded after reading the novel, and asked the author if he knew anyone at the space agency, as some of the professional stuff in the novel could not be found on the Internet.
certainly.
The author himself is the best.
In order to write this book, Andy Weir taught himself knowledge in many fields such as orbital mechanics, botany, astronomy, aeronautics, etc. He even wrote a software just to accurately calculate the flight time from the Earth to Mars.
"What he did was even more hardcore than the novel itself."
Lin Yuan admired that this kind of science fiction novel, most of which revolves around modern technology, has very high requirements for the author.
And after successfully arousing the reader's interest.
Lin Yuan began to exchange the original version of "The Martian" with the system.
What surprised Lin Yuan was that there seemed to be differences between the original version and the Earth version.
After taking a closer look, Lin Yuan was extremely surprised!
The system actually modified the parts of the novel that were incompatible with Blue Star.
In other words:
The system provided Lin Yuan with a film called "The Martian" which was created around Blue Star technology.
This saves Lin Yuan a lot of trouble.
After all, there is a difference in the level of aviation technology between Blue Planet and Earth.
With the help of the system, the typing speed can be increased. Lin Yuan feels that he can finish this novel in a short time.
However, Lin Yuan still slowed down slightly.
It was not only because he didn't want to appear too shocking, but also because Lin Yuan had other things to do.
To be exact, it's about the shadow.
Didn’t Kaneki say before that Tang Yi had finished drawing “Puella Magi Madoka Magica”
The other party now wants to make a comic with a daily style, preferably one that is more girly.
Lin Yuan thought about it and soon came up with a plan.
He is planning to make "Himu! Umaru-chan"!
This comic is more than just a girlish style, it is simply one of the representative works of cute girl comics.
Lin Yuan is familiar with the comics market on Blue Star. The mainstream themes occupy a large part of the market, and there are very few comics with daily styles that can attract much attention, let alone the cute style of "Himu! Umaru-chan".
This comic may be fresh to many readers.
That being the case.
Let’s get started!
At least the first few episodes of "Himu! Umaru-chan" should be completed to give Tang Yi a reference.
In this way, with novels in the left hand and comics in the right hand, Lin Yuan can be said to be shooting on two fronts, taking care of the work of two aliases at the same time.
…
It was May.
The air is pleasant in spring when flowers bloom.
By the middle and late part of the month, Lin Yuan easily completed the first few chapters of "Himu! Umaru-chan" and also handed the outline of the subsequent plot of the comic to Kaneki, leaving Tang Yi with a lot of room to play.
It’s not that Lin Yuan is lazy.
For a big-name cartoonist of Tang Yi's level, as long as he finds the right genre, he no longer needs Lin Yuan to provide him with stick figures.
The other side.
Tang Yi soon received the advance manuscript of "Himu! Umaru-chan", as well as the subsequent plot outline and a small number of stick figures.
And the room where Tang Yi is.
There are also several cartoonists here, they are Dragon King, Wolf Brother, Crazy Sword, Cuncao Xin and Baili and others.
These people are all serializing the comics provided by Shadow.
But everyone is curious whether Shadow will continue to provide them with ideas for new comics as he promised.
"Let's take a look together."
Tang Yi made several copies of the manuscript and distributed them to everyone.
This group of top cartoonists in the alliance started reading a comic called "Himu! Umaru-chan".
"puff!"
"Ha ha!"
"What is this?"
"Does it also include transformation?"
"She is a perfect girl outside, but when she gets home, her true colors are revealed and she becomes a dry girl?"
"Sounds familiar, what is a dry girl?"
"Drymono girl seems to be a more popular term in Chuzhou. You can just understand it as a female dead fat otaku."
“This character is amazing!”
"The contrast between the characters is so great!"
"This is so fucking cute!"
The slightly weird style of painting instantly made a group of top cartoonists in the alliance laugh.
This kind of cute comics that can be used as a light entertainment in daily life is definitely very healing for people who like this style.
And amidst the laughter of the crowd.
Tang Yi is also reading this comic.
Her eyes became brighter and brighter, and she couldn't put the manuscript down:
“So cute!”
Tang Yi just wanted a comic with the theme of daily life of a girl, but she didn’t expect Shadow to add cute attributes, which instantly made the work interesting and fun!
like!
Love it!
This comic must be drawn well. If it is adapted into an animation, find a female voice actor who is highly suitable for the role. Maybe it will become a huge hit!
"It seems that Shadow God did not lie to us."
“Even if our comics are finished, we can still get wonderful comic ideas from him!”
“This style is absolutely amazing!”
"As expected of Chu Kuang and Xian Yu's good friend!"
"Yes."
"Chu Kuang is good at writing works of various themes, and recently he even started writing science fiction; Xianyu is good at all kinds of shadows, even including various unpopular musical instruments; the same goes for Yingzi, he can easily draw hot-blooded and orthodox comics, or evil comics, and this time he even drew such a healing and cute girl comic. This is the omnipotent God of Comics!"
"Tang Yi!"
Everyone suddenly became serious.
Tang Yi was enjoying the show, and when she heard that, she looked up and asked, "What's wrong?"
Everyone looked at the cute Umaru-chan and said almost in unison: "Please draw our wives well."
Tang Yi:
You bunch of fat bastards!
Umaru-chan is obviously my wife!
