Chapter 284: "Science Fiction World"
After finishing "Silver Hand", Liu Hongmin decided to take a break. Li Lizhen is now pregnant and it is inconvenient for her to go anywhere. Although she has had experience once, she still often feels irritable.
Therefore, Liu Hongmin decided to spend more time with Li Lizhen so that she could be happy.
It just so happened that the amusement park that Liu Hongmin had asked Zou Shifang to build was completed. This was a gift from Liu Hongmin to Liu Guoqiang. On a clear day, Liu Hongmin took his family to the amusement park.
Li Lizhen couldn't play anything too dangerous, so she just rode the merry-go-round for a few rounds. When she was a little tired, she sat on a chair to rest, and Liu Hongmin took Liu Guoqiang to play some more exciting games, such as bumper cars.
Liu Guoqiang felt very happy as he experienced all these for the first time.
After spending a few days with her family, Li Lizhen's mood improved a lot. Liu Hongmin finally took time to go to the company and deal with the piled up documents. These documents were not documents for handling matters, but memoranda confirming that he knew these matters.
The company below has already started to do it, and sending the memorandum is just to report the action. It is like when an army encounters an enemy during a war, and then decides to fight. However, this army needs to report the battle report after the battle to let the superior know what happened during the battle, what the results were, who made the greatest contribution, and who played a key role in the battle.
The same is true for the memorandum, when formulating a business plan, who will take the lead, who will formulate the plan, who will implement the plan, what problems will arise during implementation, who will solve these problems, and finally what results the plan has achieved.
Liu Hongmin attaches great importance to these, because they can be used to summarize experience to avoid making the same mistakes in the future. Or, when he doesn't know what to do, he will take out these successful cases and follow their example, modifying them according to the situation before executing them.
This is just like Liu Hongmin's study of history: learning from history can help us understand the rise and fall of a company, and learning from the memorandum can help us understand the future of a company.
After finishing the memorandum, Liu Hongmin wanted to go to Tomorrow Film Company to have a look. Tomorrow Film Company has already started to produce "Source Code 2", and it is said that it has applied many advanced shooting techniques and special effects.
Unfortunately, before he could set off, he received a letter from Sichuan Province.
It was written by Yang Xiao, the editor-in-chief of Science Fiction World. Since publishing The Night the Comet Came, Liu Hongmin has not submitted any work to Science Fiction World for more than a year. Although Science Fiction World has published many excellent works in the past year, they are still far inferior to Liu Hongmin's science fiction novels. The main reason is that there are few science fiction writers in this era, and it takes a long time to cultivate more excellent writers.
Therefore, the sales of Science Fiction World this year are slowly decreasing, and have fallen below one million copies again. Therefore, Yang Xiao hopes to invite Liu Hongmin to write an article to give Science Fiction World a shot in the arm.
Liu Hongmin was helpless, but he still had to help. When filming Source Code, Yang Xiao helped a lot, just because Liu Hongmin could write the script.
However, science fiction works are limited, and many of them are set in the United States, so they are not easy to adapt.
After choosing for a long time, Liu Hongmin saw a movie.
"Edge of Tomorrow" is a sci-fi reincarnation movie. This is the genre that Liu Hongmin is good at, and the story is also very easy to adapt. However, there are many unsatisfactory aspects in this movie.
The first is the image of the aliens, which is so weird that they look like a red adventure group. The key is that such aliens have to be divided into different levels, which is very speechless. The second is that the plot is a bit anticlimactic. It looks good at the beginning, but the ending is not shocking at all.
Edge of Tomorrow is a half-war film, but the war is portrayed in a rather trifling way. The final battle is actually a showdown between the hero and heroine and the alien leader. It's a decapitation operation, but this decapitation is a bit sloppy. Killing one leader is equivalent to defeating all enemies. It's a typical game mentality.
Of course, it may also be that the crew did not have enough money, so they had to deal with it this way. After all, war scenes are the most expensive, and if the big scene lasted for half an hour, the investors would probably cry.
Films have to consider funding, but writing novels does not. Liu Hongmin can write freely and write in a grand manner.
The story is set in China as usual. Aliens invaded massively and the whole world soon fell. In the end, humans could only retreat to Sichuan Province and rely on the surrounding mountains to resist the aliens' attack.
Although it still sounds a bit unreasonable, after all, aliens come from outer space, so wouldn’t they attack Sichuan Province from the sky?
Of course it is possible, but Liu Hongmin made up for this bug. Sichuan Province set up the latest anti-aircraft guns on the top of the mountain, which can shoot down alien spacecraft. The human coalition trained soldiers in Sichuan Province, then looked for the aliens' weaknesses and continuously launched attacks on the aliens.
It was in this context that the protagonist went to the battlefield, was killed just as the battle was going on, and entered reincarnation.
Liu Hongmin is very familiar with the plot of multiple reincarnations, and it is also full of jokes. After multiple reincarnations, the hero drags the heroine into the reincarnation, and then the two begin to look for the alien's weakness, and even drive the alien's spaceship into the alien's nest.
In the aliens' lair, they discovered the secret of reincarnation. It turned out that the aliens were researching a time weapon, but because something went wrong, they stopped the research. The experimental team was disbanded, and one of the researchers secretly took away the experimental materials and was sent to the battlefield.
Unfortunately, he was killed by humans just as he entered the battlefield. The material of the time weapon fell, causing the protagonist to enter reincarnation.
Relying on the cycle of time, the male and female protagonists mastered a large amount of alien technology, helping humans to continuously climb the technology tree and catch up with the aliens in equipment. In this way, the aliens lost their technological advantage and were no match for humans who had powerful tactics.
Soon, the counterattack began, and humans drove the aliens out of China with great force. The human coalition fought to support the war, relying on the aliens' weapons, and drove the aliens out of the earth.
After a period of rest and recuperation, the human coalition built a large number of spaceships and headed to attack the alien moon base.
The story ends here, leaving an open ending.
Liu Hongmin looked at the outline in his hand and expressed his satisfaction. However, there were still some details that needed to be filled in. After that, he could write out the whole story in one go.
It's probably a novel of 200,000 words. At Liu Hongmin's current typing speed, it would take less than half a month to finish.
