In mid-May 1980, in the south, it was already the busy agricultural season when the wheat was ripe in the wind and the plum was yellow in the rain.

However, after the completion of "Modern Bodyguard", Zhang Shaojie began to be light.

The novel "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" has been written.

Although, 5.5 million words, it will take at least 3 years to be published. However, this is already a matter for Ming Pao, Yulang International, and Wansheng Publishing Company.

Because of the publication of different companies, the "Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" circulating on the market has been divided into different versions.

For example, "Martial Arts and History" is serialized as the original version of Huang Yi of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty".

"Ming Pao" serialized is Jin Yong's polished version.

Yulang International Company, in order to promote the manga, has also made certain changes to the novel version.

For example, the Yulang version has added some **ambiguous and explosive battle plots. Even, some strong words such as "kouhu", "koujikouji" and "to go against the sky" have been added.

Taiwan's Wansheng Company, which is also a well-known publishing company, has naturally made some changes in order to be a little different from other versions of "Datang" on the market.

Zhang Shaojie inquired and learned that Wansheng actually invited three romance writers to polish and enhance the delicacy of feelings, but those romance writers did not dare to change the plot of "Datang", and only occasionally made the dialogue of some scenes become "poor".

"The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" actually appeared in 4 different versions, each with its own characteristics, and Zhang Shaojie was relatively speechless.

However, this is not a phenomenon unique to Zhang Shaojie's novels. Jin Yong, Gu Long and other famous novelists, a novel is also authorized to many publishing houses to publish, this will also be the case.

Of course, the differences in the details of the different versions of "The Tang Dynasty" have aroused discussion among many book critics, and it has also become a strange anecdote.

At least some die-hard fans of "Datang" often collect the "Ming Pao" version, "Martial Arts and History" version, Yulang version, Wansheng version, and all four different versions to show that they are "real * die-hard fans"!

Among these major editions, it seems that the Wansheng edition has the largest circulation and the largest number of readers.

The most praised by book critics is the polished edition of Jin Yong of Ming Pao.

The most badly reviewed is the version of Yulang International Company, which has some ** paragraphs, and is often complained by some readers, and is called a snake to add to it. However, it does not affect some readers who buy the Yulang version of "Datang" specifically for the ** joke!

Of course, the best reputation among readers is the "Martial Arts and History" version, which was modified by Huang Yi to adapt to the simplified publishing in Chinese mainland. Therefore, it seems refreshing, pure, and the story surname is strong, and some ** meat jokes are basically missing.

This version, in this era, is called "Shaojie Original" by many Zhang Shaojie book friends!

The Huang Yi version is a version with no changes in one word

But it's called—

Few! Jay! Original! Edition!

Hear these four words.

Zhang Shaojie was still a little blushing at first.

However, after listening to it too much, my face became thicker, as if I took it for granted.

――――――

Jin Yong, Gu Long, Zhang Shaojie and other Hong Kong and Taiwan martial arts writers, although they are regarded as not elegant by the masters of the mainland.

However, how can Zhang Shaojie afford to look down on those poor and sour families?

Now in the seller's market, there is a big pot of rice in the country, and the system feeds them, and these poor writers can still eat with their mouths. If we really have to wait until the era of market economy comes, more than 90% of these poor acids will be hungry.

Of course, the literary and artistic scholars in the system are not all useless and poor.

For example, the older generation of left-wing writers who were active in the literary world during the Anti-Japanese War are very bold!

In fact, the older generation of writers is not only of a very high level, but also able to help the country do a lot of practical things.

For example, the Hong Kong negotiations between China and the United Kingdom, political negotiations, are relatively full of gunsmoke.

But Hong Kong's return to the motherland is not only about political negotiations, but also about cultural exchanges.

In May 1980, some people from China's cultural circles came to Hong Kong to communicate with some celebrities and cultural figures in Hong Kong in the name of cultural exchanges.

Zhang Shaojie is Jin Yong's apprentice, and his popularity in Hong Kong is also very extensive.

In the letters, there are a bunch of admiration, a bunch of Hong Kong and mainland cultures exchanging and promoting each other

In short, Zhang Shaojie is qualified to participate in cultural exchanges

Victoria Harbour.

The governor of Hong Kong, with a group of sub-officials, gathered in a heap.

And Li Ka-shing, Bao Yugang, Fok Yingdong and other celebrities in the Hong Kong business community are also surrounded by bodyguards, chatting and laughing on the side. This group of capitalists has a large number of investments in the mainland. For the sake of profit, they chose to believe in domestic policies. Because their investment in the hinterland is in line with the national policy of attracting investment and developing the economy, they are now all "patriotic capitalists."

Although they also came to welcome delegations from the mainland, Jin Yong, Zhang Shaojie and others were still a little estranged from those giant businessmen.

On the docks, those who write novels and those who engage in art spontaneously gather on one side.

In the crowd of writers at the scene, Zhang Shaojie saw Yishu, but he couldn't see Ni Kuang.

Because Ni Kuang is a "persecuted paranoia" and thinks he will be persecuted all day long, he is especially afraid of meeting official figures in the mainland.

Ni Kuang was scared, because when he was young, when he was a soldier in the army, he raised a dog and bit many officers, and he actually burned down the wooden bridge for heating in winter, because he was wanted by the public security department. Therefore, Ni Kuang fled all the way and fled from the north to Hong Kong.

After getting out of Hong Kong, he began to gradually think that "it is not himself but the whole of China that is wrong", and he vigorously criticized the mainland system in Hong Kong.

In fact, after the reform and opening up, the pseudo-science fiction written by Ni Kuang was widely sought after in the mainland, so much so that mainland writers thought that science fiction was like that. As a result, many science fiction writers in the mainland have imitated Ni Kuang and turned all science fiction novels into political satire.

Because there are too many political novels written in the name of science fiction, it has been until the 90s, Chinese mainland suddenly strengthened the publication review of science fiction novels.

In order to avoid trouble, publishers are afraid of science fiction and refuse to publish most science fiction novels. This also caused a great damage to the vitality of the Chinese science fiction industry later.

Later, on the eve of Hong Kong's return to China in the 90s, Ni Kuang fled to the United States, Canada and other places to settle down. After living for more than ten years, the habit of spending lavishly has not changed, and the money is squandered, and I have to return to Hong Kong.

After coming back, no one corrected him, Ni Kuang knew that there was a false alarm, but he did not admit that he returned to Hong Kong because he ran out of money, but explained that his wife was not used to living abroad, so he returned to Hong Kong so much.

"Ms. Yishu, I'm glad to meet you!" Zhang Shaojie said with a smile to a woman in her thirties.

It is said that there are few beautiful women among female writers, but Yishu is an exception.

Yishu came to Hong Kong at the age of five, and became famous in her teens and became a famous beauty writer in Hong Kong!

Yishu, who is in his thirties, is still very beautiful. Big eyes, long eyelashes, and dark eyes exude aura and wisdom. Laughing, neat white teeth, lined with two small dimples at the corners of the mouth, very sweet and sweet.

The novels written by Yishu are mainly romance novels, and they are also the first romance in Hong Kong, some people call Yishu and Qiong Yao equally famous, but Yishu looks down on Qiong Yao.

Because, Yishu felt that Qiong Yao was uneducated, and her writing was too vulgar and fake, she said, "That Qiong Yao, it's redundant to mention it." In fact, Zhang Shaojie thinks that Yishu should be arrogant, withdrawn, and ignore people.

It's a little better than expected.

Yishu even smiled at him, nodded, and said, "I've read your "Tang Dynasty", an inspirational martial arts novel based on two street gangsters, right?" ”

Yishu, a big sister, laughs very charmingly. Zhang Shaojie blushed a little and didn't dare to look at her: "Well, martial arts is for sure, maybe inspirational." ”

Yishu said: "I don't know how to write martial arts novels, but I love to read them. "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" seems to have no burden, it is very good to relax the mood, read a copy when you are tired, and soon forget the troubles. However, it is said that the whole length of "Datang" is 5 million words, and you can read it through if you write it so long? ”

Talking about writing, Zhang Shaojie relaxed a little and said: "I have a different style from most writers!" In order to allow readers to read without getting tired, I use a lot of short sentences and short paragraphs in my layout, so that readers can read more words in one breath without bothering themselves! Sculpting words, to me, is not important. The important thing is how to change the text more smoothly, so that readers can read it easily and without getting tired! ”

Jin Yong heard that the two were talking about writing novels, and he also said indifferently: "Shaojie's point of view is right, as a novelist, in general, the text should be changed to be plain, even if it is changed ten times, it is worth it to make the text more simple and easy to understand." ”

Yishu smiled and said, "This is what you repeatedly emphasized when Ming Pao was training new writers before, right?" At that time, I was just over ten years old. The manuscript fee you give is too small, only a few hundred yuan a month, I write to scold you, miser. You could say that it is impossible to increase the remuneration of the author! As a result, when it came time to pay for the manuscript, I gave some more money! ”

Jin Yong said with a smile: "In the blink of an eye, the little girls in their teens have become old girls." When, just find a man who can control you!"

Jin Yong looked at Yishu with a slight sense of joke: "Shaojie is also a talent, but he is only seventeen years old, are you?"

Yishu couldn't help but smile a little shyly: "Is it true that a woman like me is not allowed to chat with a little talent?" ”

Talented women like Yishu are very attractive to bees and butterflies.

Wherever Yishu went, with a hook of his hand, countless talents and celebrities in Hong Kong fell into it. However, Yishu has already got rid of two husbands, one is an architect surnamed Zhuang, and the other is Yue Hua, a Shaw Brothers star.

Now, Yishu is single again, and the men around her don't know how many

Zhang Shaojie blushed a little, just chatting with Yishu, but was misunderstood by Jin Yong. Zhang Shaojie wanted to explain, but as soon as the words came to his lips, his mind went blank again

He looked up and saw that Yishu was quiet, just looking at the sea, with inexplicable emotions in his eyes.

Zhang Shaojie suddenly realized.

The talented woman is also comfortable, after all, she is lonely
