The moon rises. Throughout the building, most of the lights were turned off, but the lights in Zhang Shaojie's room were still on. Writing is best done in the dead of night.

The novel "Resident Evil 1: The Conspiracy of the Umbrella Company" already contains the main setting of the game version of "Resident Evil 1", and it is even more detailed than the plot explained in the game.

But Zhang Shaojie did not plan to completely copy the version written by S.D. Perry, but wrote it in his own text according to the plot and outline of "Biochemistry 1".

Because in the 21st century, not only Hollywood has shot a large number of zombie movies, but also on the Internet in China, there are also online novels with the theme of zombies.

Zhang Shaojie has read dozens of zombie-themed novels.

Of course, some of the deformed texts that kill zombies and eat zombie "brain nuclei" upgrade to superman, Zhang Shaojie is still a little indigestion.

After a large number of zombie texts and zombie movies, Zhang Shaojie began to reinterpret the plot of "Resident Evil" with a connotation higher than that of "Resident Evil" itself.

T-virus, S.T.A.R.S Squad, Jill, Rebecca, these later successful selling points are naturally a non-missable retention.

Of course.

The movie version of Alice, Matt, Ryan and others still didn't join. If you add it, it will contradict the plot of Jill, Wesker and others in the novel and game version

As the plot unfolded, Zhang Shaojie became more and more courageous the more he wrote.

He felt as if he had not read the "Resident Evil" novel, played the "Resident Evil" game, or watched the "Resident Evil" movie, and was able to write it himself.

However, this is just a delusion!

The reason why Zhang Shaojie was able to write so smoothly was that he was now a secondary creation on the basis of ready-made settings, plots, and characters, and wrote the same person.

If you really haven't watched the original work, and haven't watched the biochemical movie, or played the biochemical game, it is impossible to write this story so tense, exciting, and suspenseful!

Speaking of which.

Zhang Shaojie's writing speed is not slow, writing five or six thousand words a day, although there is pressure, it is not an impossible task.

Compared with the real writing madman Ni Kuang, Zhang Shaojie's writing speed is naturally far inferior. But compared to most martial arts novelists of the same era, he is already considered to be superior in speed.

At this time, martial arts novelists, serialized in newspapers, generally wrote two or three thousand words a day.

For those who publish physical books, one or two episodes are generally released a month, and each episode is about 70,000 words.

This means that the general writing speed of the more active professional martial arts novel authors in Hong Kong and Taiwan in this era should be about 60,000~140,000 per month.

Zhang Shaojie's speed, if he does not directly copy the original work, he can write 150,000~200,000 words per month. If you are purely copying the original work, there is no pressure to write a million words a month.

In fact, "Resident Evil 1: The Conspiracy of the Umbrella Company", Zhang Shaojie has already begun to write after "The Rise of a Great Power" was serialized in August.

The manuscript was completed in September, and the whole manuscript has 150,000 words!

For fear of being laughed at by Jin Yong, his writing is too poor.

After Zhang Shaojie finished the draft, he began to continuously delete, delete, and edit and revise. By October, it had been revised 3 times, and Zhang Shaojie felt that his ability was difficult to retouch, add or delete again.

"In a few days, let's go and deliver the manuscript!" Zhang Shaojie blew dry the ink and muttered.

A little tired, after the lights went out, Zhang Shaojie lay down on a comfortable bed and slept sweetly.

On September 10, ――――――――, the inaugural issue of Ma Rongcheng's "Chinese Heroes" had begun to be issued.

On the cover of the inaugural issue of "Chinese Heroes", Ma Rongcheng insisted on marking "Original Works: Zhang Shaojie" and "Editor-in-Chief: Ma Rongcheng"!

Zhang Shaojie felt that his "original work" was really deserved.

After all, he just helped Ma Rongcheng set the outline, character design, and the like. The details of the plot are all written by Ma Rongcheng himself. Speaking of which, Ma Rongcheng also has a bit of talent for writing novels, and the original novels of "Chinese Heroes" and "Fengyun" in history were co-written by Ma Rongcheng and another martial arts writer.

Ma Rongcheng explained: "If your name is hung, the inaugural issue of "Chinese Heroes" will attract the attention of readers more when it is promoted! ”

Zhang Shaojie had no choice but to say: "Okay! Since I have been 'written', I will definitely write a novel of the same name of "Chinese Heroes" in the future! ”

"Hehe, I'm really looking forward to your masterpiece!" Ma Rongcheng knows that if Zhang Shaojie writes a novel of the same name, it will definitely greatly drive the sales of the comic version!

"Chinese Heroes" was advertised in "Ming Pao" for three consecutive days.

The advertising slogan also reads: "The original work of Zhang Shaojie, the popular king of martial arts, is written by the cutting-edge cartoonist Ma Rongcheng." The entrepreneurial work of Tianxia Publishing Company, "Chinese Heroes" will be officially released on September 10! ”

In the advertisement, there is only a simple paragraph, and there is no other superfluous explanation.

But that's enough!

"Zhang Shaojie's original work", this is a huge market appeal!

Readers of both martial arts novels and Hong Kong comics have very much recognized Zhang Shaojie's ability to make up stories.

In this era, although Jin Yong and Gu Long are still classics, Jin Yong has been closed for many years, and Gu Long's later works have made many readers aesthetically fatigued.

Because Gu Long repeats his own routines too much, he feels amazing when he reads a set of Gu Long novels, he feels classic when he watches 5 sets, and he becomes a hardcore when he sees 10 sets, but when he reads more 20 sets or more Gu Long novels, he feels disappointed, because after Gu Long's style is stereotyped, he has been repeating the old routines.

Zhang Shaojie's "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" was originally the pinnacle of the later martial arts master Huang Yi, which can be said to cover the most essential part of Huang Yi's novels.

After the debut of this epoch-making martial arts masterpiece, it not only made Hong Kong and Taiwan martial arts authors realize that the original martial arts novels can also find another way!

Moreover, this work has also earned Zhang Shaojie amazing popularity in Hong Kong and Taiwan!

Under the title of "Zhang Shaojie's original work", not to mention the readers' reactions, those booksellers alone are very positive.

Under the persuasion of the sales staff of Tianxia Publishing Company, the first 10,000 copies of the first issue of "Chinese Heroes" were soon sold out by major bookstores, newsstands and other retail outlets in Hong Kong

―――――――― Yulang International Inc.

A large number of popular manga are produced, like the assembly line of a factory.

Every week, the drafts of popular comics such as "Dragon and Tiger Gate" and "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" are sent to the printing house after they are proofread, and these popular comics with huge circulation per issue are put on the market, making Yulang International an astonishing profit.

In fact, cartoonists do make more money than novelists!

If a cartoonist like Huang Yulang doesn't open a company, it is not difficult for him to earn five or six million royalties a year just from the royalty income of his two comics "Dragon and Tiger Gate" and "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty"!

Yulang International's top painters in this era can earn hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars a year, and Huang Yulang himself is enough to earn millions of Hong Kong dollars with the main authors of the two most popular comics "Dragon and Tiger Gate" and "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty"!

Originally, Ma Rongcheng was born in "Chinese Heroes", which was able to add millions of Hong Kong dollars to Huang Yulang's profits every year! But Huang Yulang finally lost his eyes, at this time he saw a very ordinary work, but in fact, it was the most successful work in the Hong Kong comic industry in the entire 80s!

"Chinese Heroes" was serialized for a total of 100 issues in the 80s, adding up to 20 million copies, with a direct output value of 100 million and a profit of more than 30 million!

This does not include the income from various film and television and game adaptations of "Chinese Heroes" in the future. Such a big gold mine, Huang Yulang himself disdained it, and forced Ma Rongcheng to run away angrily.

At this point, he still didn't feel anything.

""Tianlong Babu" is almost ready, and it will be published on September 20!" Huang Yulang said proudly, "If this comic can sell 30,000 copies per issue, it will be a victory!" And on October 20th, I am ready to release "The Condor Heroes"! If it is successful, the surname Suo will take all the Jin Yong novels! ”

Qi Wenjie suddenly said: "That Ma Rongcheng, after leaving Yulang, got married to Zhang Shaojie and established a world publishing company, and a few days ago published an advertisement for the inaugural issue of "Chinese Heroes" in "Ming Pao"! ”

Huang Yulang said a little complicated: "What does this Zhang Shaojie mean, he is a shareholder of Yulang International, and I am so generous to give him 5% of the shares." If Yulang International can be listed, he can get tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of returns! Why did he invest in Ma Rongcheng? ”

Qi Wenjie said: "Do you want to ask Zhang Shaojie about his specific intentions?" ”

"Nope! No more! Huang Yulang said, "It's not a big deal to invest in Ma Rongcheng!" Soon he realized that with Ma Rongcheng's ability alone, there was no way to achieve such a stable benefit from Yulang International! After "Chinese Heroes" hits the streets, Zhang Shaojie will give up on him sooner or later! ”

Although Huang Yulang was a little unhappy about Zhang Shaojie's support for Ma Rongcheng, he didn't want to turn his face with Zhang Shaojie. After all, Zhang Shaojie's "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" novels and comics now actually account for half of Yulang's international income! Moreover, the comic adaptation copyright of Jin Yong's novel was also obtained by relying on Zhang Shaojie's face!

Looking at Huang Yulang's proud face, some gloom appeared.

Qi Wenjie suddenly had a trace of worry in his heart, he seemed to have a premonition that "Chinese Heroes" was going to be popular!

Why do you have this hunch? Did you really look away from it before?

No!

Qi Wenjie told himself that his vision for so many years should be very accurate. "Chinese Heroes" is nothing more than the follow-up of "Dragon and Tiger Gate".

With "Dragon Tiger Gate", how can the follower work raise its head?
