I took the earliest minibus to Ming Pao Building on Hong Kong Island, and on the way, I began to ponder my second novel in the summer.

"The second novel still can't take too big a step, half a step ahead is to lead the trend, one step ahead is a dead end, and works that are too avant-garde may not be welcomed. Summer pondered in his heart, "It's better to be on the safe side and continue to write martial arts novels, but which one is better to write this time?" he hesitated in his heart.

I don't read many martial arts novels in the summer, except for the works of Jin Guliang and Wen, I almost don't dabble in other martial arts novels. Therefore, it is still a little difficult to find a suitable one now.

"By the way, it's better to write that book "Looking for Qin". His eyes lit up suddenly.

He had read the novel when he was in middle school, and he remembered how popular it was at the time. And most importantly, this novel is also said to have created a precedent for the theme of historical travel. 、

"After writing this book, it will no longer be unacceptable to write other time-traveling novels by yourself. Xia said happily, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that writing this book was the most suitable, "But I read the novel "Looking for Qin" more than ten years ago, and now I even forgot the general storyline, I only remember that the protagonists are Xiang Shaolong, Qin Yingzheng, widow Qing, who else is here?"

was thinking about it, but at this moment, I heard the female passenger in front of me laugh and say, "The new novel published by Ming Pao today looks pretty good." ”

"I think it's a bit average, not very good-looking. The plot is a bit bland, not twisty at all, and not very interesting. The male passenger next to her objected.

"I think it's okay, I don't like to fight and kill the most, how boring and cruel it is, can't I write more about love and the like? Like Jin Yong's "The Condor Heroes", that's what it looks like. The female passenger retorted.

Summer was awakened by their argument and heard that they seemed to be talking about their work, and he couldn't help but prick up his ears and listen secretly.

The female passenger seemed to like this "The Eighth Bronze Man of Shaolin Temple" very much, but the male passenger thought that this novel was not tragic enough, and the plot was not as twisty and bizarre as Gu Long's novel, so he didn't rate it well.

Summer smiled, he didn't expect to be able to hear the feedback from readers for the first time when he took the minibus this time, so he also got a lot of opinions.

"There are people who send flowers and there are people who shoot bricks, and overall it's pretty good. He said to himself, quite satisfied with the result.

"Let's not consider the matter of "The Eighth Bronze Man of Shaolin Temple", anyway, this book has been written and sold, how readers evaluate it is something that "Ming Pao" needs to worry about, I still continue to think about my new book. Summer rubbed her head and said.

"It's a pity that in addition to the three main characters, I can't remember the storyline of "Looking for Qin", otherwise it should be the most appropriate to write this book. He said with some chagrin.

If he relied on his own ability, started anew, re-conceived the plot, and created a new "Xun Qin Ji", it was not impossible, but it would take a lot of energy.

When I wrote "The Eighth Bronze Man of Shaolin Temple" in the summer, because I remembered the storyline very well, the writing speed was very fast, and it could reach more than 3,000 words in an hour. But if you write "The Story of Qin" instead, you have to conceive the storyline while writing, and you can write up to 2,000 words an hour. In this way, the speed has been greatly slowed down, and it is undoubtedly not feasible for him who is in urgent need of money.

"By the way, I can write this one. Xia had an idea, and suddenly said with a smile, "This "Qin Shi Mingyue" is also a story of the Qin Dynasty, not only a martial arts novel, but also a fantasy element, if you write it, it would be good." In this way, you can also write fantasy novels in the future. ”

Although he hadn't watched the novel version of "Qin Shi Mingyue" before the summer, he had participated in the filming of the TV series and knew the storyline well. Now all he has to do is adapt the script into a novel, which is a piece of cake for him.

"Okay, just write this book "Qin Shi Mingyue". He made up his mind.

……

came to the Ming Pao Building, and met Ren Wanying again in the summer.

"Sister Wanying, morning!" he greeted with a smile.

"Ah Tian, you're here so early. How is it, have you read today's newspaper?" asked Ren Wanying with a smile.

"Not yet. I rushed to the manuscript overnight last night, and today I took the earliest minibus to deliver the manuscript, and the whole person is still drowsy, and I haven't bothered to buy the newspaper yet. Summer explained.

"Then you need to pay attention to your body. Ren Wanying reminded with a smile, "By the way, Mr. Cha is already upstairs, he may have something to go out later, if you want to find him, hurry up now." ”

"Okay, let's talk about it later. Summer nodded, then went up to the second floor to Kim Yong's office.

"Morning Mr. Cha! This is my latest manuscript, please take a look. He laughs.

"What a speed!" Jin Yong nodded, very satisfied with Xia's positive and diligent writing attitude, "Well, it seems that your novel is about to be finished." After reading it, he looked up and said.

"Well, I've written 140,000 words. Summer nodded, "What I want to write has been written, and the meaning has been clearly expressed, so there is no point in delaying it any longer." He explained.

"You're doing the right thing, the writer has to be accountable to the reader as well as to himself. Jin Yong said approvingly.

He had seen some novelists write a novella into a novel in order to earn more remuneration. The storyline is heavily watered, the quality of creation drops sharply, and in the end, it has to be warned again and again before an ending is reluctantly written.

I didn't expect that I could refuse the temptation in the summer, and I should finish the book without the slightest hesitation.

"I think he seems to be in debt to a loan shark. Jin Yong secretly said in his heart, thinking about it like this, he felt that the act of summer was more valuable, and his impression of him became better and better.

"By the way, what kind of story will you write in the next book, do you have an idea now?" Jin Yong asked with a smile again.

"Now I have an idea, but I can't hold the idea, I don't know if it will be popular. Summer nodded.

"Oh, if you'd like, tell me about it first, and I'll take care of it for you. Kim Yong said with a smile. Under normal circumstances, he doesn't care how others create, as long as the quality is not too bad, he will not care. But he has high hopes for Summer, hoping that he can lead the new trend of martial arts novels, so he pays special attention to him.

"Of course that's fine. Xia smiled, "The story I want to write is called "Qin Shi Mingyue". It tells the story of the last years of the Qin Dynasty, when the heroes rose everywhere, and the young Jing Tianming wandered the rivers and lakes with his master sword god Gai Nie in order to avoid being chased by the King of Qin......"

Summer talks endlessly, especially focusing on the setting of the novel. The Mo family's tricks, the Guigu School's forbidden secret arts, the Yin and Yang family's spells, formations, etc., all kinds of fantasy elements are different, completely beyond the limits of martial arts novels.

After listening to this, Jin Yong couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded. He looked at Summer in amazement, wondering how the young man's mind could have so much innovation.

Tricks, secret arts, spells, and formations are not uncommon and can be seen in many martial arts novels. But Summer re-set them, making them much more powerful, completely beyond the constraints of reality, and almost reaching the realm of Xianxia gods and monster novels. In this way, the barriers of martial arts novels have been broken.

"Ah Tian, the story you envisioned is somewhat similar to the "Legend of the Swordsman of Shushan" written by the lord of Huanzhu Mansion during the Republic of China. Kim Yong said with a smile.

"The Legend of the Swordsman of Shushan" written by the lord of Huanzhu Mansion is a fairy novel with the theme of gods and monsters. The idea is peculiar and all-encompassing, and it was once a smash hit, and even Jin Yong drew a lot of nourishment from it when he was writing novels.

Summer nodded, "Qin Shi Mingyue" does contain many fantasy elements, and it is not too much to say that it is a fantasy theme. "Mr. Cha, I think so. It has been at least 30 years since the establishment of the new school of martial arts novels, and many elements have been reused, such as 'martial arts cheats', 'national hatred and family hatred', and 'earth-shattering conspiracy', and readers have also become tired of it. So in order to recapture readers' interest, I think martial arts novels have to be innovative. ”

Nowadays, martial arts novels are very popular, and readers also like to read martial arts novels, and many people think that it is still in its prime at the moment.

Summer even said that it was facing a difficult situation, and made such a casual remark, which made people think that he was alarmist.

But in the summer, this move was precisely to attract Kim Yong's attention. If you want to win his favor and not show your ability, how can you do it?!

Sure enough, hearing him say this, Jin Yong felt very surprised.

Only a few people of insight know that in recent years, martial arts novels have been on the decline. Unexpectedly, such a young man in the summer could see it, which was really unexpected to him, but it also made him feel very surprised.

"Then how do you think we should innovate?" Jin Yong sincerely asked Xia for advice, he started by writing martial arts novels, and he is full of feelings for martial arts novels, of course he doesn't want to see them decline.

"I think that in addition to being innovative in the way of writing, there should also be an expansion in the subject matter. Xia said eloquently, "I think the biggest limitation of martial arts novels is that 'manpower is sometimes poor', even if the protagonist has the ability, it is impossible to fight against the army, let alone the ability to split Huashan...... Although this setting is close to reality, it also frames the imagination of the author and the reader. ”

"Why don't we break this limitation and let the protagonist have more powerful power, not only a thousand enemies, ten thousand enemies, but even a male and female with the gods and Buddhas. Summer asked Kim Yong-do.

Jin Yong was stunned for a moment, and after listening to Summer's words, he was deeply shocked. He hadn't thought about it before, but now that it was mentioned by Summer, he suddenly had a pause.

"yes, why don't you break this limitation?" he muttered to himself, if this box was broken, the subject matter of martial arts novels would be greatly expanded. With the addition of fresh elements and enhanced readability, readers will naturally be more willing to read it.
