After being reborn, Huo Yaowen had already made up his mind as early as possible to make money by writing novels or some manuscript articles.

Speaking of which, in addition to martial arts, the most novels in this era are science fiction and the kind of romance written by Qiong Yao, as well as traditional realist novels with a strong literary department.

There are not many categories of novels, so Huo Yaowen has thought a lot about this kind of novel theme that has a large blank market, in addition to traditional martial arts, science fiction, romance, Xianxia, fantasy, etc.

But in the end, Huo Yaowen didn't choose these relatively novel themes.

There are two main points to consider,

One is because of the current famous novelists, their writing style still tends to be traditional realistic, I dare not say how good it is, but at least in terms of vocabulary and writing fluency, it far surpasses most martial arts writers in later generations.

Second, that is, Huo Yaowen has never written about these themes, and if he has read a little, he will definitely be able to write it, and the novels he writes will definitely attract the attention of current readers.

However, whether it is Xianxia or fantasy, there are traces to follow in the history of novels. For example, the Xianxia category has the "Legend of the Swordsman of Shushan" written by the lord of Huanzhu Mansion during the Republic of China, and the Xuanfanliu also has the "Romance of the Gods" written by Xu Zhonglin in the Ming Dynasty.

Huo Yaowen felt that if he wanted to be able to make a name for himself with a novel, it was definitely possible to write this, and he could quickly open up his fame, but he didn't want to "pick up people's teeth".

Well, although tomb robbing is also a source of wisdom, in Hong Kong in 1968, no one proposed or wrote a novel about this kind of tomb robbery.

Strictly speaking, if Huo Yaowen writes it now, then he is the first person to rob the tomb patriarch!

Hehe, having said so much, he didn't grasp the point that Huo Yaowen didn't write about Xianxia fantasy.

The main root cause of why Huo Yaowen didn't write Xianxia or fantasy is that his writing has a fatal weakness, and the description of the fight scenes is very weak.

Huo Yaowen's writing tends to characterize and tell stories, and he can delicately and vividly describe a character that can make people impressive, and he can also write a storyline that makes people unfinished, with endless aftertaste, and slowly tells the storyline.

Only the depiction of the fight scenes is too weak.

This is also one of the reasons why several fantasy novels written by Huo Yaowen in his previous life hit the streets, he was too bad at describing those whimsical and overwhelming battle scenes.

People have self-knowledge, and Huo Yaowen has this self-knowledge.

Instead of writing a book creatively, it is better to avoid what you are not good at, write what you are good at, and focus on portraying the characters and storyline.

Only a good character image and storyline can make people unsatisfied, with endless aftertaste, and after reading it once, I want to read it a second or third time, which is a good novel and a good story.

"Ghost Blowing the Lantern - Notes on Tomb Robbery"

In addition to referring to the recognized genres of tomb robbery in later generations and some unique tomb robbery tools, Huo Yaowen is basically all original content, and he can't remember it if he wants to copy it, and the times don't match.

Most of the tomb robbery novels in later generations were written about tomb robberies in the 80s, but now they are Hong Kong in 1968.

Moreover, when Huo Yaowen wrote this tomb robbery novel, he also deliberately went to the University of Hong Kong Library and the public library in the Hong Kong City Hall to borrow some essays and biographies of the Republic of China to deepen the authenticity of the book.

...

So when Huo Yaowen outlined the tomb robbery story in his heart to Ma Rulong, Ma Rulong's eyes lit up, although he didn't know how to distinguish between good and bad in an article, but he was not illiterate, and he had read martial arts novels written by Jin Yong and others when he was bored, and occasionally fantasized about becoming an ancient knight.

Ma Rulong must have the ability to distinguish whether the most basic article is good or not, so after hearing Huo Yaowen's story about the tomb robbery genre that has been passed down since ancient times, and the fascinating tomb robbery plot, those tomb robbery tools that he has never seen or heard of, all kinds of strange tomb robbery tools used to dig up the tombs of the princes and grandsons, made his heart itch.

Hearing the end, Ma Rulong couldn't help but ask, "What is zongzi?"

Huo Yaowen replied: "There are many kinds of zongzi, but they can be collectively called zombies. ”

"Can you elaborate on that?" Ma Rulong frowned, he still couldn't figure out what a zombie was.

Huo Yaowen knew that there was no zombie film of Lin Zhengying now, so he wanted to briefly talk about the meaning of zombies, but after thinking about it, he told the advertising slogan that often popped up in later generations.

"Zombies are born from the resentment of heaven and earth, immortal and immortal, and are abandoned by the three worlds of heaven, earth and man outside the six realms of sentient beings. ”

Just hearing the words immortality, immortality, and immortality made Ma Rulong feel that this zombie must be a ruthless character, not to mention being abandoned by the three worlds of heaven, earth and man outside the six realms of sentient beings.

In this way, when Ma Rulong thought that Huo Yaowen had just said that the actor Huo Yingying had encountered a big zongzi in the middle of robbing the tomb, but there was no follow-up, his heart was like a cat's paw scratching, itchy.

I couldn't help but ask again: "Huo Sheng, how did Huo Yingying solve it after he encountered the big zongzi?"

"I haven't thought about this yet, I'm really sorry for Editor-in-Chief Ma, I don't have a lot of leisure time on weekdays. Huo Yaowen shook his head, pretending to regret.

In fact, let Huo Yaowen finish the story of the tomb robbery in one go, there are many routines to watch, and casually talking about it can attract the eyes and ears of people who have not read this kind of article in this era.

But now it's pointless to talk so much, let's discuss the issue of manuscript fees first, plus Huo Yaowen watched Ma Rulong's rise, and deliberately left a suspense to hang the other party.

Ma Rulong didn't doubt him, after all, it takes time to create articles, so he couldn't help but sigh and said: "It's a pity, I really want to know how this Huo hero meets that big zongzi, oh, that is, how to solve the zombie!"

It's no wonder that Ma Rulong behaves like this, after all, there is too little entertainment in this era, although there are cinemas, TV series, or nightclubs, but they are all tired of playing for Ma Rulong. Suddenly hearing this fascinating, mixed with various suspenseful and novel tomb robbery stories, my curiosity aroused infinite desire to read.

Huo Yaowen smiled, "If Editor-in-Chief Ma wants to see it as soon as possible, I will definitely write it out as soon as I go back." ”

"That's great. Ma Rulong said with a smile: "Such a great story, such a fascinating tomb robbery novel, even I was fascinated, I believe that as long as it is published in the newspaper, it will definitely attract the attention of the majority of readers." ”

"What does the editor-in-chief mean?"

Ma Rulong's face sank, and after thinking for a few seconds, he said: "That's it, Huo Sheng, if it's convenient, leave a phone number, tomorrow, I'll personally inform you tomorrow." ”

"That's fine. Huo Yaowen knows that "Oriental Newspaper" is new at this moment, and Ma Rulong is not a knowledgeable person, so he must need to find a professional.

"I'm very optimistic about Huo Sheng's ghost... Ghost blowing the lamp and robbing the tomb notes, don't worry, we will definitely accept this manuscript in the newspaper. ”

Maybe he was afraid that Huo Yaowen would join his family, Ma Rulong also said directly.
