The king treats me as a countryman, and I should repay him as a countryman.

Shen Zhe was a little moved in his heart, and immediately took out a USB flash drive from his trouser pocket and raised it.

"Brother Zhong, borrow your computer for use?"

Zhongli's eyes lit up: "Xiao Shen, do you have a new draft?" ”

Su Wei and Editor-in-Chief Wei on the opposite side also looked at each other with blazing eyes, and they all looked like they wanted to speak and stopped.

"If there is no draft, will Brother Zhong kick me out?" Shen Zhe made a joke, first took a vaccination, and said: "But you may be disappointed, the manuscript I brought over this time is not youth literature, but martial arts!" ”

"Martial arts?" Editor-in-Chief Wei raised his eyebrows, "Xiao Shen, is it the kind of chivalrous novel you said last time?" ”

Shen Zhe nodded and said, "Well, what does Uncle Wei remember?" ”

When he submitted his manuscript for the first time, it was the three editors in front of him who came to the door, and outside the commissary at the entrance of the community, he once revealed some ideas for future creation. At that time, Editor-in-Chief Wei also asked one more question, and he disagreed with Shen Zhe's statement about chivalrous novels.

"So, the new work is martial arts?" Zhongli frowned, he didn't have much confidence in this literary genre either.

Shen Zhe didn't say anything, just set his eyes on Zhongli.

"Let's take a look at the manuscript first, Lao Wei, I have a lot of confidence in Xiao Shen, as can be seen from the first two articles."

Shen Zhexin said, you guessed wrong this time, "If You Give Me Three Days of Light" does not win with words, and the nine knives are masters of playing with words. Zhongli should have seen that level of writing from "Those Years", but compared with Mr. Liang Yusheng, it is two styles.

Zhongli took the USB flash drive, walked to the desk and plugged it into the computer, and a document of nearly 200,000 words popped up.

"Oh, that's long...... Xiao Shen, can you print it out? ”

"Yes, if you don't plan to adopt it after reading it, don't spread it." No matter how confident you are in the manuscript, ugly words come ahead.

Zhong Li said: "Don't worry, it's convenient for Lao Wei and Su Wei to print it out, and they won't leave this office." ”

"It still needs the eye of a professional editor."

The printer was nearby, and soon the manuscript was divided between the two editors.

Editor-in-Chief Wei only glanced at the opening words, and the hand holding the manuscript shook violently, and said in surprise: "Xiao Shen, this word is original?" ”

Shen Zhe nodded indifferently.

What he brought with him was the whole story of "Dragon and Tiger Fighting Jinghua", about 200,000 words, and it took five days to type it out on the computer.

The editor-in-chief's office soon fell silent.

Shen Zhe picked up a magazine next to him and flipped through it, he didn't pick a book to read, but he had a habit of reading a favorite work in one go. still remembers the original time and space, the first time he was brought into the pit of online literature by "Ethereal Journey", which made him read for a day and a night, and he didn't sleep.

After a full hour, Su Wei first raised her head and said with a sad face: "Finally, I finally got revenge!" ”

In fact, the story of "Dragon and Tiger Jinghua" is not complicated.

The book is set against the background of the Boxer Rebellion and tells the story of a battle in the capital.

Ding Jianming, the head of the Ding faction of Taijimen, befriended Suo Shanyu, a hypocritical retired official, and was despised by the heroes. Liu Jianyin, the senior brother who led out of the reclusive door, came out of the mountain to mediate, not wanting the misunderstanding to get deeper and deeper, Ding Jianming was finally poisoned by Suo Shanyu.

In order to avenge the revenge of his junior brother, Liu Jianyin joined the Boxer Rebellion's "anti-Qing and foreign" faction.

was hated by Yue Junxiong and others of the "Baoqing and Annihilation of the West" faction, and Zuo Hanying, together with the three disciples, was designed to be killed together. At this time, her daughter Liu Mengdie had already learned a unique art as taught by Shenni, and had feelings for her senior brother Zuo Hanying. Hearing that his father died and his husband died in a few days, he decided to unite with his senior brother Lou Wuxing and Ding Xiao, the new head of the Ding faction, to seek revenge against Yue Junxiong with the rules of seeking revenge in the rivers and lakes.

There was a battle in the capital, and the result was that Liu Mengdie's side won.

However, the Boxers were jointly exterminated by the Qing government and the Eight-Nation Alliance, and the battle in the ring became meaningless in front of the family and country.

Liu Mengdie became a nun and was not able to slash the enemy who had lived in seclusion for many years until decades later.

"I heard that there is a reclusive gentleman in Shaanxi who is over sixty years old, but he is in good spirits and in excellent health, somehow, one night he was suddenly stabbed to death, and even his head was missing, and then someone found out that this person was Yue Junxiong, who had been dominant for a while."

Although the above sentence is explained at the end, the whole book still gives people a sense of melancholy.

In particular, the early death of Liu Mengdie's old father and lover makes this story still present a sense of tragedy, but this does not reduce its appeal. Su Wei looks at it from a woman's perspective, while Editor-in-Chief Wei interprets it from another angle.

"Jin Ge Iron Horse Jianghu dream, dream of the end of the world, bright moon beard, everywhere in the world.

The dragon fights the tiger and fights for three years, the matter is insignificant, looking at Jinghua from afar, and the west wind and sea sand are thousands of miles. ”

The old editor read it in one go, got up with the case, and praised loudly: "The writing is brilliant and magnificent, no wonder Xiao Shen wants to say that this is martial arts." Now the chivalrous novels on the market really can't afford to be a chivalrous word, this is the real martial arts novel, you are going to be the first to open a faction! ”

Hearing his words, Shen Zhe shook his head and didn't speak.

This is shocking, and when Mr. Cha's masterpiece comes out, I'm afraid you will be even more dumbfounded.

There are only three works of Liang Lao that impressed Shen Zhe the most.

The first part is "Dragon and Tiger Fighting Jinghua", it can be said that the creation of this novel should be in the nature of playing tickets, inspired by the competition between the two factions.

After Shen Zhe came to Huaxia, he flipped through it again, and suddenly found that this novel already contained the basic framework of Liang Lao's creation for more than 30 years, and the pinnacle of "Pingxia Film" and the last "Wudang One Sword" did not get rid of its shadow.

There is also "Yunhai Jade Bow Edge" and "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch", which is slightly out of the fence of other works.

Shen Zhe guessed with his own mind, maybe Liang Lao was also excited and frightened when he created the debut novel "Dragon and Tiger Fighting Jinghua".

Later, when writing became a profession or even a job, that aura was no longer there.

But these are not important nowadays, and even such works, looking at the table of the two editors, are enough to shock the chivalrous reader.

Shen Zhe's confidence increased again.

"So, another bestseller?" Zhongli had only finished reading the last chapter at this time, and looked at the slightly distempered editor-in-chief Wei with great interest.

Editor-in-Chief Wei looked at Shen Zhe with a clear gaze, and admired: "Xiao Shen, tell me about your creative ideas?" ”

Shen Zhe put down the magazine in his hand, felt a little thirsty, and looked around. Seeing this, Su Wei got up and ran to the water dispenser to pick up a glass of water, took the paper cup and brought it to him with both hands, with a slightly coquettish meaning: "Master Shen, I will rely on you to cover it in the future." ”

"Hehe, Sister Su, what are you doing here?"

"Discuss something with you, can you change it, don't let Zuo Hanying die?"

Several people in the editor-in-chief's office laughed dumbly, although Su Wei looked quiet, her temperament was still very hot sometimes.

After coming to the magazine for a year, I have learned a lot about her, but she has been taking her daughter to work, revealing more motherhood. Now he has such a look, which he has never seen before.

It is definitely impossible to change the content, and Su Wei is also joking to express her dissatisfaction with this kind of plot.

"Sister Su, there will be a martial arts with women as the protagonist in the future, you will definitely like it when the time comes."

Su Wei's eyes lit up, and there are few popular books on the market other than romance from a female perspective. Listening to Shen Zhe say this, it seems that it is also a creative direction, which can be slightly guided among the contracted authors.

Thinking of Editor-in-Chief Wei's question, Shen Zhe replied: "Chivalry has always been in the hearts of Chinese people, but the current chivalrous novels are too deeply influenced by the turbulent times of the late Qing Dynasty and have always been unable to get out of the circle of vendetta. Nowadays, the market is naturally shrinking more and more and has become a niche. ”

"Chivalry is also a feeling, in everyone's heart, not just a anger to kill."

"Chivalry is the mainstay, martial arts is the goal, and chivalry is better than martial arts."

"Now everything is about feelings, youth sadness, love, the heaviness of history, and so is chivalry!"

"Well said!" Editor-in-chief Wei stroked his palms and praised, "What a chivalrous victory!" ”

It was because he knew the shortcomings of chivalrous novels that he didn't expect much from the martial arts that Shen Zhe said. The reason why chivalrous novels can't be elegantly ranked is mainly because the values in them don't match the mainstream, just look at the chivalrous novels on the market.

"Bloody Desert", "Dragon Slayer", "Sword and Sword", ......

However, after reading "Dragon and Tiger Fighting Jinghua", I didn't think it was taken for granted. Linking the battle of the righteous men in the rivers and lakes with the Boxer Rebellion incident in history, I have to say that it is simply a genius idea.

It is conceivable that this book, once published, will be a huge inspiration to such authors.

The author can also set a precedent with this, thinking about it, the old editor in his fifties looked at Shen Zhe with a faint envy.

Zhongli sat behind the desk, also thoughtful, and after listening to Shen Zhe's explanation, he lowered his head and thought for a while, his eyes lit up.

""Chinese Youth" wants to open a martial arts column!"
