Chapter 455: Chapter 433: Cat and Mouse_1

It really is the same old wine in a new bottle…

Lin Yuan had watched several popular superhero movies from Blue Star on his computer in a row, only to find that the formula for these superheroes was essentially the same as the early “Dragonman”. Even though there have been some changes in recent years, they all were variations on the same theme.

The same goes for “Spiderman”.

It tells the story of fighting monsters after becoming a superhero, but Spiderman has some unique characteristics that other superheroes lack, such as the numerous depictions of his assistance to ordinary people in the film.

“The friendly neighborhood New Yorker.”

This is another side of Spiderman as a civilian hero. Most other superheroes in Marvel are high-profile, while Spiderman is the most down-to-earth among them. He’s still a high school student!

There are immature parts in his thinking.

But he has a trajectory of growth.

He truly realized that as a superhero, he should take action after the death of his uncle. His uncle’s death was the trigger of his transformation. This is also why so many versions of the Spiderman series have still put an emphasis on explaining this origin story.

“With great power, comes great responsibility.”

This line may be cliché to Earth’s Marvel fans, but newcomers to “Spiderman” are still moved by these simple words. There are no superheroes; Spiderman is just an ordinary person burdened with a sense of social responsibility because of his immense power.

Moreover…

In the sequels to the original Spiderman, a scenario came up again and again, where Spiderman stops a ship or a bus with his spider web. This can be seen as homage to the original. In the second “Spiderman” movie, starring Tobey Maguire, there’s a scene where a city train is running on the tracks. In the end, Spiderman secures countless surrounding buildings with his web and finally stops the train full of people with his own body, avoiding their deaths.

The price is…

Spiderman’s body reaches its limit, his clothes completely torn, his skin shredded. He falls into a deep unconsciousness. As a result, the people on the train grasp onto his body. This scene is considered one of the most iconic in the “Spiderman” series, and a large portion of the audience possibly love Spiderman for it. The scene is simply too shocking!

The system is considerate.

Although the “Spiderman” script provided to Lin Yuan starts with Spiderman’s origin story, this thrilling scene from the second movie is also transferred into the script, nicely echoing the famous line “with great power, comes great responsibility”.

Of course.

These changes still can’t alter the popcorn-flick nature of “Spiderman”, but Lin Yuan’s aim was to boost Jian Yi’s fame, he couldn’t let Jian Yi make a film about an old man’s story.

That’d be too heavy.

Jian Yi, at his current age, simply can’t handle a heavy superhero film like “Batman,” not to mention the Joker. Even with the help of props to reach the acting standard, there are some things that can’t be compensated with acting skills.

It has to be enjoyable.

Lin Yuan had previously given the audience a hard time with “Hachiko”. Now, he can give them some emotional compensation. Although Lin chose the movie himself, it seems to fit the system’s typical behaviour well: manipulating the audience’s emotions.

Tang Bohu foolishly grins without a brain.

The sound engineer needs to think with their brain.

Hachiko makes the audience feel heartfelt pain.

Spiderman makes the audience overwhelmingly excited.

Lin Yuan also thinks this is a good idea for making movies. You shouldn’t keep the audience in the same kind of situation all the time. Once everyone has had enough of Spiderman, maybe next time something heavier could be fun?

Or even something novel.

To prevent everyone from thinking that “Spiderman” is too formulaic, where the superhero always defeats the monster and gets the girl, ending with a romantic spider-hanging kiss scene.

In fact, Lin Yuan also considered word-of-mouth.

After all, not everyone is Nolan. The reputation of a superhero movie is basically hard to explode, but Lin Yuan can’t avoid making commercial movies for the sake of Xian Yu’s word-of-mouth. The public loves it.

It’s best when it’s enjoyed by both refined and vulgar.

Lin Yuan believes that so-called word-of-mouth should be compared with movies of the same kind. If the average reputation of commercial films is seven points, then he strives to elevate his own commercial film reputation to eight. That would be fine.

Let’s not think about this for now.

The film’s preparation needs time.

The producers, Shen Qing and director Yi Chenggong, started to gear up the moment they got the news. Having been tremendously successful in their previous few collaborations with Lin Yuan, the two had tasted the sweet fruits of success.

However, Lin Yuan left the preparations to them.

He used this time to leisurely write his novel, not just the ongoing Hercule Poirot Series, but also his new fairy tale story that he had mentioned to his sister before, “Shuke and Beta”.

This novel was very relaxing to write.

Because fairy tales are written for children, the simpler the description, the better. The concise text allows the little ones to understand it. For instance, the beginning of the novel introduces the character Shuke straightforwardly:

Shuke is a mouse.

Generally, mice are known for sneaking around and stealing human food. This doesn’t change in the world of fairy tales, but Shuke doesn’t want to be a mouse that likes to steal things. He decides to be independent. So, in the first chapter, Shuke starts his journey, driving his toy plane outside.

In the beginning, he saves a tiny ant.

Then Shuke is treated by the Ant King.

As a genre that combines fun with education, “Shuke and Beta” is no exception. The first chapter reminds everyone not to steal things and to earn their rewards through their own labor.

Not just educational.

The book is also very imaginative.

For instance, an interesting plot in the story is that Beta drives a toy tank, using peanuts as cannonballs to battle with the Meow alien Mili. This scene is quite fun. If put into a web novel, it would perfect for putting on airs and slapping faces.

Good guarantee of enjoyment.

The author first gives the protagonist Beta a gold finger, a tank that can fire cannonballs, and then the scene of the weak little mouse slapping the powerful little cat Mili happens. Little cat Mili doesn’t admit defeat and brings her friends to fight back —

And continues to be trampled on.

Wouldn’t you find it hard to believe that the classic scene of showing off and face-slapping in web novels had appeared in the Fairy Tale King’s work many years ago? This book simply portrays cats as villains similar to those in web novels.

Writing as such.

Lin Yuan found himself amused.

While Lin Yuan was immersed in writing “Shuke and Beta” for three consecutive days, Silver Blue Books suddenly announced some news. While Lin himself didn’t pay too much attention to it, and was engrossed in the fairy tale world of Shuke and Beta, the children’s literature circle in general turned its attention to it.

“Three years of grinding a sword!”

“Do you remember your childhood memories of the ‘Three Little Pigs’ series? Teacher Yuanyuan’s new long-form fairy tale ‘Meow’ is about to be released. This time it’s a story about a kitten: this will be the childhood memory of a new generation of children!”

A long-form fairy tale is coming!

Teacher Yuanyuan is about to release a new work!
