In the midst of a wave of applause.

Zhang Shaojie took a deep breath and said: "When I was in middle school, I once again encountered a huge setback in my life!" My aunt and uncle, because they were running sea transportation, sometimes had urgent business, and even had to go to sea by boat for a few months. During the summer vacation of my Secondary 2 year, my aunt had an accident at sea and the ship capsized and never came back! ”

"At that time, I was only 14 years old, and I decided to drop out of school because my brother was still going to school. Go out in the morning and evening to pick up waste and sell it to the scrapyard for a little money. That year, no one looked up to me, and no aunt encouraged me again. However, I began to learn to motivate myself - people are a battle, and as long as you don't admit defeat, you don't lose! ”

"When I was 14 years old, I got some jobs as a dish washer and waiter, and I only had more than 300 yuan a month. Why do people see that my figure is not burly and strong? Because it was hungry, since 3 years ago, my brother and I Shaohuai couldn't even afford to eat meat every month! I can only eat some very cheap and cheap dishes, and in the most difficult time, I pick vegetables and leaves on the street. Take it home, wash it, cook it into a pot of vegetable soup, and make do with it for a few days! ”

"In the face of a bleak life, I was not defeated. Because, the most precious legacy left to me by my aunt is undoubtedly hundreds of books. There are martial arts novels, there are history books, there are magazines, and there are old newspapers of all kinds. I was eager to find a way to change my fate through reading, so I went through the books I had and read them over and over again. Outside of work, I fill most of my free time with reading. I saw the Ming Pao Group's call for papers, and thought to myself, maybe I could change my fate through writing. That's how I started my creative career. At first, I could only write a few hundred dry words every day, but after persevering for a few months, I began to get better and better after thinking and writing every day, and I was able to write thousands of words a day. Later, after a year, my manuscript gradually accumulated more than one million words, and I kept revising it, once, twice, three times, ten times, and so it took more than half a year, repeatedly renovating and revising, not only scrutinizing the plot, but also the text! At this time, I finally decided to submit the manuscript, and the manuscript was named "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty"

When Zhang Shaojie told about the creation process of his "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", there were true and false.

Really, Zhang Shaojie did read old books from the past when he was working. The fake thing is that he did not revise it ten times at all, but directly copied Huang Yi's original work of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty". However, Zhang Shaojie's reborn can have the privilege of bragging not being exposed!

Suddenly, in the entire auditorium, countless young teachers and students with dreams were amazed.

"It's so inspiring!"

"No wonder "Datang" can be popular, Zhang Shaojie worked too hard!"

"What a worship!"

The admiration was endless, Zhang Shaojie smiled, and continued: "When I was submitting, I met a rich boy who drove a luxury car and was accompanied by beautiful women. Although I was almost hit by his car, I had to swallow my anger and apologize to him at that time. However, at that time, what I was thinking about was not the current humiliation, but the future of the manuscript of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty"! ”

Zhang Shaojie said in a rather relaxed tone: "You know the ending of the submission!" Hu Bo, the editor of "Martial Arts and History", appreciated that my "Datang" was published. So, I became red! This is the story of a poor boy with no background and no connections, who became famous overnight, what do you think? ”

Zhang Shaojie's appearance inspired many young students with dreams to boil their blood - it turned out that Zhang Shaojie was so popular!

"The success of the novel is the first step to my success! Next, I challenged myself to write a movie script and set up several companies! I'm not going to brag about myself anymore, I just want to give a few suggestions to my juniors and juniors! ”

"The first piece of advice is that life is constantly challenging, constantly not admitting defeat, and not giving up on yourself! In any case, if you can maintain the ideal in your heart, then life will not be a complete failure! ”

"The second piece of advice, the line is the champion! For example, the writing is not about the super-rich in real estate, finance, and high-tech industries. There are no big stars and big directors who generally attract wide attention. However, it is not the industry that anyone chooses to succeed, but the industry they are suitable for in order to succeed in that industry! ”

"Don't be too utilitarian, choose which line of work you see to make money, but combine your own strengths, preferences, and talents! Only the work that suits you will have passion and feel the joy of work! ”

"The third piece of advice, learn to adapt! In the future, if someone is forced to choose an industry they don't like, they won't have to give up on themselves. Try to like it, work hard to study the skills of this industry, and reach the level of specialization in one industry, then you will also become a leader! ”

Zhang Shaojie's heartfelt words have formed a huge repercussion in the minds of the students of Lingnan Middle School. Many students who are confused by adolescence have begun to have a clearer understanding of their future plans and life ideals.

In a round of warm applause.

Zhang Shaojie began to end his speech, and then under the auspices of Lingnan Middle School, the teachers and students of the school began to ask questions freely.

"Senior Brother Zhang Shaojie, you have always been the idol of our school youth, especially the literary and artistic youth who write martial arts novels in their spare time. However, since the retirement of Jin Yong and Liang Yusheng in Hong Kong, martial arts novels are no longer satisfied with the prosperity of the 70s. For the future of martial arts, we feel at a loss, I don't know, what do you think of the future of martial arts novels! A young man with eyes and a little literate asked.

Zhang Shaojie nodded and said, "This classmate asked a good question!" The future of martial arts novels is not just martial arts novels, but the future of novels of any genre, all of which lie in innovation! The martial arts novel market is not as prosperous as it was a few years ago, not because of the retirement of the older generation of Jin Yong and Liang Yusheng. And with the current martial arts novels still have not gone out of the old routines of the 60s and 70s.

Nowadays, many martial arts novels are still stuck in the old routines of vendettas, revenge, adventures, and sexual encounters, and seriously lack the spirit of innovation!

Mr. Jin Yong has not read martial arts novels for many years, and he said that if there are good-looking martial arts novels written, he is still willing to read them! But I rarely watch martial arts, which can only show that most authors can't write good-looking martial arts now!

The future of martial arts novels lies in the ability of future generations to write an innovative novel, a sincere novel, and a novel with the bearing of a grandmaster. Don't blindly imitate the old routines that your predecessors have created! So, come on, boy - write a book, Jin Yong, Gu Long and other predecessors, I think it is refreshing, you can read a novel, such an innovative theme martial arts must have a future!"

"Brother Shaojie, have you seen your "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", Jin Yong Daxia?" A little girl said.

Zhang Shaojie said with a smile: "Teacher Jin Yong has seen my "Datang" and edited and revised "Datang"! This shows that most of the novels that Mr. Jin Yong is willing to read can be popular! ”

"Contemporary Hong Kong writers, many of them have very low manuscript fees and a very difficult life! What do you think about this issue? A teacher suddenly asked.

Zhang Shaojie said: "The writer's life is in distress, not necessarily because there is a problem in the industry. It's more of his own problem, some writers can't write the bridges that readers like to see, and can't write subtle words. This kind of writer has not been recognized by the market, and after failure, he should reflect on it, summarize how to write popular novels in the market, and what readers like to read - no one can change the market, only change themselves and adapt themselves to the changes in the market!

In addition, because no one forced him to write, many writers would sift their nets for three days and fish for two days because no one forced them to write. There is no perseverance to keep writing, which is the main reason why most talented writers are poor!

Successful writers in Hong Kong are very hardworking. Jin Yong and Liang Yusheng used to write 2,000 ~ 5,000 words a day when they were serialized in newspapers, and they had to write millions of words a year, but they persevered, so they were very successful. Ni Kuang and Yishu write 10,000 words a day, and they need millions of words a year, and they have succeeded. Gu Long, Wo Longsheng, Zhuge Qingyun, Sima Xiang, a little mixed up, all of them are hard-working model workers! ”

"If someone writes a million words a year and can't make money, what do you say?" One teacher asked sharply.

Zhang Shaojie said: "Okay! If there is such a person, please bring it to me. This person writes 100,000 words a month, but he can't make money, and I give him 1,000 yuan a month to encourage his diligent creative spirit. If he writes for half a year, he still won't make money. I will ask a professional editor to give him instructions on how to write, and I will even consider personally instructing him on how to write a red book! ”

"What do you mean?" The teacher said.

"Count!" Zhang Shaojie said.

"Good! I'm the author who writes 1 million words a year, but I can't get published, I can't publish it in a newspaper, and I can't earn a penny for manuscript fees! "The teacher was angry.

The teacher's name is Zheng Wei, and his pen name is Si Ming. Zheng Wei writes a wide variety of articles, ranging from food reviews, film reviews, essays to martial arts novels, but there is a 99% probability that the submission will be rejected.

Zheng Wei's failure is not that he is not diligent, but that he did not find the right way.

In fact, Zhang Shaojie believes that in the writing industry, it is best to specialize in one subject - Ni Kuang specializes in science fiction, Qiong Yao, Yi Shu, and Li Bihua specialize in romance, and Zheng Yuanjie specializes in fairy tales!

And the best-selling king of the United States "Stephen. Kim "modestly said that he was stupid and could only write suspense novels. Because he has always only written about suspense, he has always succeeded!
