Chapter 386 - Chapter 386 Chapter 385 Barefaced Slap in the Face

Chapter 386: Chapter 385 Barefaced Slap in the Face. Chapter 386: Chapter 385 Barefaced Slap in the Face. “The first master is the Mongolian Divine Archer Jebie,” Wang Hao wrote down the name Jebie before saying, “We know there’s a saying, ‘A scholarly article should be like a mountain that does not revel in flatness, and a good martial heroes drama must have a plot filled with twists and turns. And the hero’s adventures must occur frequently. Therefore, the hero’s master cannot be just one, they must be introduced layer by layer. And Jebie here represents the first layer mentor, able to shoot an arrow through a small gap from a hundred steps away and once took down two eagles with one arrow, and is even more proficient in Mongolian wrestling.”

“This first layer master can only last for about five episodes before we need to stir up the plot and introduce a higher-level expert. I have named this layer of masters ‘The Eccentrics of Jiangnan.’ They made a bet with Qiu Chuji, the Quanzhen Sect’s Changchunzi from the earlier story about Guo Jing, which is why they went north to Mongolia to find Guo Jing and teach him martial arts. At this point, we can arrange for a second layer of opponents–perhaps give them a name that sounds rather impressive, like ‘The Twin Devils of the Black Wind!'”

Wang Hao’s explanation sounded very professional, whilst the students below listened as if spellbound.

In reality, Wang Hao based most of his lectures on the character setup for Guo Jing, to expand the narrative around the characters he encountered and thus advance the storyline.

So Wang Hao spoke swiftly, and the students below did not tire of listening, rapidly shifting their attitudes from initial surprise. Many students had already begun to take detailed notes.

“Next is the upgrading of adventures,” Wang Hao continued, “Quanzhen Sect Leader Ma Yu, known as Dan Yangzi, teaches Guo Jing the inner strength of the Quanzhen Sect at the top of a precipice. After helping Temujin resolve the siege of Zha Muhe’s revolt, Guo Jing won Temujin’s favor and became engaged to Temujin’s daughter Huazheng, earning the title of Prince Consort with the Golden Sabre.”

In the entire Heroic Legend of the Condor Heroes, the protagonist Guo Jing’s adventures are one linked chain of events that never broke!

Thus, it was with remarkable ease that Wang Hao spoke, while the students below were utterly dumbfounded by his lecture!

And clearly, the best parts of Heroic Legend of the Condor Heroes were just beginning!

“Later, Guo Jing meets the female lead Huang Rong, and the two encounter the Beggar Sect’s leader, the North Beggar Hong Qigong, while traveling in Jiangnan. Due to his frequent indulgence in Huang Rong’s delicious cooking, Hong Qigong taught the first fifteen palms of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms over a period of more than two months.” Wang Hao wrote the words ‘Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms’ on the blackboard with a smile and said, “The Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms is the world’s most masculine and absolute martial art, and the North Beggar Hong Qigong is also one of the top experts in the world; he is the third layer mentor.”

Then Wang Hao begun to talk about the ‘Five Greats’ of the world, such as the Taohua Island’s master Eastern Heretic Huang Yaoshi, Western Venom Ouyang Feng, South Emperor, and so on. Later, on Taohua Island, Guo Jing became sworn brothers with Zhou Botong, the Old Imp, and learned the Nine Yin Scripture, Kongming Fist, and three sets of superior martial arts with his hands in mutual combat. Only then did the introduction of the protagonist Guo Jing come to an end.

The students furiously took notes, trying to find any flaw as they recorded everything, only to regretfully discover that Wang Hao had not only crafted this character setup to perfection but also the entire plot was about to emerge vividly, eliciting nothing but awe.

And clearly, this honorary visiting professor Mr. Wang Hao, who had casually walked in today, did not give any breathing room to the audience below. He directly pushed up the blackboard filled with chalk writing, pulled down two more blackboards, and with three pieces of chalk in his left hand, he swooshed into a new round of visual bombardment–

“Having finished talking about the male lead, now let’s move on to the female lead.” Wang Hao then wrote the name “Huang Rong” on the blackboard and said, “A rich character naturally cannot be the only one, so now we begin to set up the female lead, Huang Rong!”

The role of Huang Rong inside the Heroic Legend of the Condor Heroes is also incredibly substantial. Wang Hao talked and wrote simultaneously, covering the blackboard with at least a thousand words, and by the end, the entire blackboard was nearly filled. With a chuckle, Wang Hao casually tossed the chalk and said, “Alright, that’s about all I have to talk about for today.”

Jiang Ruoyun bit her lip tightly, her eyes bright with ardor.

She could never have imagined encountering someone so impressively knowledgeable!

But it seems like he didn’t come here for her?

At that moment, Wang Hao glanced at the young lecturer whose arrogance had vanished and chuckled, “Mr. Cui, how did I do with my lecture just now?”

Cui Yuanhong’s face turned from pale to ashen, caught in an embarrassing bind.

A blatant face-slapping.

“People always say that comparison kills joy and envy spoils possessions,” Wang Hao had just finished speaking when his comments immediately highlighted how much stronger his ideas were by leaps and bounds compared to others–meticulously precise and original settings, logical and well-founded, with plots so twisted and bizarre that they could easily annihilate anyone present.

“You… you did this on purpose!” Seeing the students around him completely flabbergasted, Cui Yuanhong suddenly bellowed, “All that stuff you spouted was definitely prepared in advance! If you’re so capable, switch to another script! Talk about a sci-fi one!”

Talking about a sci-fi script!

As soon as the students present heard this, they were astounded once again!

It was well known that while there were quite a few historical and urban dramas produced in the Heavenly People’s Republic, sci-fi scripts were generally something that people wouldn’t know where to start!

“Prepared in advance?” Wang Hao touched his chin and said with a smile, “So what you’re saying is that I deliberately came to cause trouble, right? But in fact, I rely on a rich reserve of knowledge; otherwise, even if you were given a chance at a windfall, you might not be able to seize it. Since we’re on the subject, I might as well talk a little more about how to set up a presentable script. That way, when you really enter the screenwriting circle in the future and someone comes to you to write a script, the work you produce won’t just end up in the trash, and you will truly be able to stand your ground. I wonder how many of my fellow students agree with what I’m saying?”

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire lecture hall quieted down, with far fewer students laughing and joking around.

Many students began to look serious, waiting for what he would say next.

“Cut the crap,” Cui Yuanhong said coldly, “I want to see what you’re really made of! Hurry up, the sci-fi script!”

“Alright,” shrugged Wang Hao, “All the jumbled stuff I just spoke about actually comes down to one thing,” Wang Hao scanned the audience and smiled, “It’s always beneficial to enrich yourself. Especially in screenwriting, it is a very complex profession, and writing scripts is really difficult. Talent is very important, so the question some students may ask is, what if you don’t have enough talent? That’s simple, too. Compensate with hard work.”

“Do not fuss over the genre when writing scripts, whether they are educational or promotional; as long as there’s payment, write it. The monks of Shaolin Temple don’t just practice punching and Kung Fu, they also carry water and firewood. Consistent effort leads to progress.”

At this point, a student asked loudly, “Big brother, I get the principle, but I’ve recently been trying to write a sci-fi movie, and I’m never satisfied with what I write. Do you think this genre is easy to write?”

Hearing this, students stretched their necks, eager to hear Wang Hao’s response.

Honestly, sci-fi was a significant weak spot in the film industry of the Heavenly People’s Republic. Despite many years of development, there had never been a work to be proud of.

The entire sci-fi category was monopolized by Hollywood–investment was one aspect, but at the end of the day, it was still lacking good stories.

“Actually, sci-fi is a genre filled with potential,” Wang Hao picked up a piece of chalk and wrote the words ‘sci-fi’ on the blackboard. “Why call it sci-fi? The full term is ‘science fiction,’ but no sci-fi film can do without the word ‘science.’ They are all expansions based on scientific inventions, leading to various imaginative stories. In fact, sci-fi is quite easy to write. Let’s just say, we take a random theme, like robots, for example.”

He then wrote the word ‘robot’ on the blackboard and began to explain–

“Firstly, every story needs an entry point. What is an entry point? It’s what the beginning of the story is about.”

“So for our entry point this time… let’s see, hey you, yes you,” Wang Hao pointed randomly to a girl in the audience and asked, “What kind of entry point do you want, or what would be the beginning of the story?”

“Well…” The girl blushed before answering, “How about love, like a human falling in love with a robot!”

This sort of on-the-spot questioning was not easy to answer, and Cui Yuanhong sneered to himself–human falling in love with a robot? Such a plot was nearly impossible to start with, not just for this troublemaker, but even he would find it nearly impossible to write a script with such an opening!

Everyone present thought the same, and princess Jiang Ruoyun’s eyes were particularly wide with anticipation, waiting to see how Wang Hao would tackle this challenging problem.
