Chapter 321 Martial arts novel? Fantasy novel?
This issue of "Martial Arts World" quickly attracted the attention of its old rival "Martial Arts and History" magazine.
In Jin Yong's office in the "Ming Pao" building, Chen Jiawei, the editor-in-chief of "Martial Arts and History", was glaring at Ni Kuang.
Can you not be angry?
He was the first to know Fang Minghua!
Chen Jiawei was originally the editor of the "Ming Pao" newspaper. He was later transferred to the "Martial Arts and History" magazine and started as deputy editor. He was just promoted to editor-in-chief.
When Fang Minghua wrote the book "Wukong Biography", he accidentally discovered it when he went to the mainland. He strongly recommended it to be published by "Ming Pao" Publishing House in Xiangjiang. It achieved good results and was later published in Taiwan and Japan. It had a great influence. big.
Based on my relationship with Fang Minghua, as long as Fang Minghua is willing to write about martial arts, he can completely convince Fang Minghua to contribute to "Martial Arts and History"
But after he knew about this, the other party had already contacted " "Martial Arts and the World" signed the contract, but later I found out that it was Yi Shu who was the go-between.
It’s all your sister’s fault!
Ni Kuang was also a little embarrassed.
Fang Minghua was specially invited by himself to come to Xiangjiang to attend the founding meeting of the Writers Association. Everyone drank and chatted together, and the conversation was very speculative, and this happened.
In fact, if you want to blame it, you have to blame Huang Ying!
Ni Kuang looked at Huang Ying standing next to him.
Isn’t it good to have a good drink? Why are you kid irritating people?
It is said that there are no real martial arts novels in the mainland.
Okay, I wrote it immediately. Although it was only the beginning of 50,000 words, it was very attractive.
I will see how you will fulfill your promise then: if the book you write is very popular in Xiangjiang, I, Huang Ying, will stop writing martial arts again! "
Huang Ying remained silent, feeling aggrieved.
Damn it, I was just drunk and said a few words while drinking. Who knew he would take it seriously?< br>
And how well written is it?
Would you like to blame your sister Ni Kuang? She is a frequent visitor to Ming Pao. Her elbows are turned outward!
However, in front of Ni Kuang, Huang Ying was a junior, and he cursed in his heart but dared not speak out.
The three of them glared at each other. Only Wen Ruian looked calm, with an attitude of "it's none of my business".
Jin Yong, who was sitting on the sofa, had a calm expression. He looked at everyone and asked slowly: "Everyone, tell me, what is this novel written by Fang Minghua like? What are its advantages? Ruian, tell me first. Say.”
Wen Ruian immediately said respectfully: "Mr. Cha, although his book "The Legend of the Swordsman in the Snow" has only published 50,000 words, I won't talk about the writing style for now, but I think he clearly borrowed from the myths and legends of "The Legend of Shushan Swordsman". Martial arts and fantasy elements."
"Especially the character's martial arts system revealed in his novels, which is obviously beyond the limits of human force and is close to "god""
"Yes. ." After hearing this, Jin Yong said with emotion: "Mr. Liang and I removed the elements of gods and monsters from the old-school martial arts novels written by Huanzhu Louzhu, and only wrote about martial arts in the martial arts world, and created a new martial arts novel. But this Mr. Fang, although he still wrote about martial arts in the martial arts world, But it is getting closer to the world of gods and monsters in Mr. Huanzhu Louzhu. It is indeed a cycle of reincarnation. "
"But only Mr. Cha and Mr. Jin Gu Long are the orthodox martial arts writers! This way of writing will not change the climate!" Huang Ying said after hearing this.
After hearing this, Wen Ruian shook his head: "I don't think so. The current new martial arts has been thoroughly written by Mr. Cha and Mr. Liang's generation! Including what I wrote, it was also influenced by Gu Long Fang Minghua obviously saw this and took a unique approach. Maybe all future martial arts novels written by Fang Minghua will be in this form. Rather than calling them martial arts, I prefer to call them fantasy novels. ”
"Alarmist!"
Huang Ying muttered.
Wen Ruian just smiled and did not argue.
After hearing the argument between the two, Jin Yong did not answer directly, but asked Ni Kuang: "Ni Kuang, tell me your opinion?" In fact, Ni Kuang did not think too much about the development of martial arts novels. Now I no longer write about martial arts. I basically write about science fiction and film and television screenwriting. When Jin Yong asked this question, he pondered for a while before saying.
"I think what Wen Ruian said makes sense. In novels, whether they are martial arts or science fiction romance, or even serious novels, the writing techniques and styles are changing, and only with change can there be new ideas! Now I think we should explore the kind of martial arts similar to that written by Fang Minghua The novel's Xiangjiang talent."
Jin Yong nodded in appreciation and looked at Chen Jiawei again.
"Jia Wei, please worry more about this matter."
"Okay, Mr. Cha."
Jin Yong looked at a few more people and said with a smile: "There is no need for everyone to blame each other. Although "Martial Arts World" has the upper hand this time, Fang Minghua alone cannot change the situation of Luo Bin and others withering talents."
"What's more, Fang Minghua is the vice chairman of the Mainland Writers Association and the editor-in-chief of a magazine. He is mainly engaged in serious literature. It is impossible for him to put all his thoughts into the creation of martial arts novels. I guess it is just one novel."
Jin Yong guessed correctly, Fang Minghua really had this idea.
Just yesterday afternoon, Fang Minghua suddenly received an international long-distance call from Xiangjiang Luobin, which was called directly to his office.
On the phone, Luo Bin first expressed congratulations to Fang Minghua: "Mr. Fang, your book "Fighting Swordsman in the Snow" is very popular among readers in Hong Kong. This issue of our "Martial Arts World" magazine is published The volume is 20,000 more than the previous issue!”
“Same joy,” Fang Minghua replied with a smile.
"Mr. Fang, I have a request."
"You're welcome, you say."
"Can you provide us with about 100,000 words per month? In the first two issues, we have to attract readers , each issue directly publishes 50,000 words. Starting from the third issue, I plan to publish 20,000 to 30,000 words per issue. This means that you need to write about 100,000 words per month."
"Mr. Luo, Didn’t you say that only about 10,000 words of novels are published in each issue?" Fang Minghua asked.
"That is an ordinary writer, but you are different! The novels you wrote are so popular that readers have written letters or called me to ask the magazine for more updates! You also know that readers are the basic necessities of life, and I have not been I have no choice." At the end of the sentence, Luo Bin actually complained on the phone.
100,000 words a month, and more than 3,000 words written every day. This is nothing to the online writers of later generations, but now we have to be busy with work during the day, all at night, and take care of our families and social events at night
< br>More importantly, Fang Minghua didn't want to make himself so tired.
We are not the writers of later generations, relying on this to make a living.
However, unable to withstand Luo Bin’s pleading, Fang Minghua had no choice but to agree to do his best.
Anyway, I only plan to write this martial arts book.
When he got home in the evening, Fang Minghua told Song Tangtang about the matter.
"Then you should write well." The daughter-in-law said with a smile: "I still want to read it earlier."
Fang Minghua wrote this book, and his daughter-in-law Song Tangtang was his first reader .
"Okay then." Fang Minghua had to say: "But tomorrow, I will accompany you to the prenatal check-up."
