At this time, many large-scale literary and artistic activities in Taiwan were held in the Zhongzheng Hall of Zhongshan Hall in Taipei, for example, last year, the Zhongzheng Hall held a "national" writers' conference and a gathering of poets to discuss the development direction of the creation of the Republic of China.

To be honest, although martial arts novels have a great influence on the people and are widely circulated, in the eyes of those traditional literati, this thing is not elegant. Hong Kong is better, and the discrimination against martial arts in Taiwan's literary and artistic circles is particularly serious, just like that of my mother.

How so? It's like the traditional writers of later generations looked at online writers.

The martial arts association can apply to Zhongshan Hall to hold the award ceremony, or the relationship between Wang Zijun and Liu Zhaoxuan was approved.

The 1st Martial Arts Award and the 1st Martial Arts Novel Writing Contest were held in the morning and afternoon.

The winners were notified a few days ago, and the specific awards had not yet been decided, but anyone who was notified could at least get the Excellence Award.

The hall was crowded, and those amateur authors saw many famous artists who had only heard their names before, as if they had seen beautiful women. However, the dignity of those authors is somewhat unexpected by many people, these famous people are either fat or ribs, even if they are normal people, they have been writing at the desk for a long time, and in the end they are not sincere and benevolent.

Wang Zijun stands out among the writers.

Before the award ceremony began, Wang Zijun had already chatted with a young man who looked a little obscene.

This young man's pen name is "Hong Kong Tycoon", his real name is Wang Binghan, and he is the guy who wrote the same person in "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", and now he is still a poor student in Hong Kong, and Wang Zijun helped him pay for the flight.

"You wrote this?" Wang Zijun took out those manuscripts.

"Yes, yes," Wang Binghan said excitedly, "Master Kong Xuan, I admire you so much, I have watched "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" more than ten times. ”

Wang Zijun said: "Then do you know that it is illegal to arbitrarily adapt other people's works without the consent of the original author. Even if you're not using it for commercial purposes right now, it's not okay to use it for events. It's a good thing you didn't publish it, or I could have sued you in jail. ”

Wang Binghan was taken aback, and asked with an ugly face: "Then, then I won't compete, I only showed it to my friends." ”

"Sit down, don't be afraid." Wang Zijun smiled and pressed him to his seat, "I'm just giving you a reminder, this time I happened to see your manuscript, and I think my imagination is not bad, but my writing cultivation needs to be improved." ”

"Yes, I'll practice hard in the future." Wang Binghan only promised.

"Do you want to publish this book?" Wang Zijun asked.

"Can it be published?" Wang Binghan was surprised.

"Of course, I'm the original author, as long as I agree." Wang Zijun said, "But you have to give me a part of the income." It's not that I care about that money, but I'm afraid that others will follow suit, and if they all use me as an example, I'm afraid I will be scolded to death by other writers. ”

"Yes, yes, it's okay to give you all the money, as long as it can be published." Wang Binghan hurriedly said.

What a pure and lovely child, this kind of lovers who are not for economic gain, but simply want to let more people see their words is the most lovely.

"No, after all, you wrote it with great effort, and you account for the majority of the manuscript fee, and I symbolize the surname to get a little." Wang Zijun said, "Are you going to go to university or continue to write novels?" ”

"My dad told me to learn how to fix electrical appliances with him." Wang Binghan said embarrassedly.

"Then you can write movies and TV scripts?" Wang Zijun asked.

"Yes, I've brought some with me." Wang Binghan excitedly took out a stack of manuscripts from his bag, "I wrote these things, and I also submitted them to Shaw Brothers, but they didn't reply to me." ”

I rub! Wang Zijun roughly flipped it, no wonder Shaw Brothers didn't dump him, what kind of aliens, time and space tunnels, monster mutations and the like these scripts are too advanced. Compared with these scripts, "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" is quite normal.

Wang Zijun purely thought that the guy who wrote fan fiction at this time was interesting and thought that his thinking was active, so he called him to come to Taiwan to see if he could be trained. I didn't expect this guy to be a freak.

Wang Binghan explained: "In addition to martial arts, I also like to read science fiction novels, especially Soviet science fiction. ”

"Shh Wang Zijun told him to be quiet, the name of the Soviet Union can't be shouted casually in Taiwan, "Soviet science fiction novels are not good, how did you get them?" ”

"My uncle brought it from the mainland before." Wang Binghan said, "I recently wrote a script that combines martial arts and science, and I haven't finished it yet, but I don't think anyone will want it." ”

Wang Zijun almost burst into tears, your mother is only in the seventies, and this guy is actually writing fantasy martial arts.

"Don't those publishers either?" Wang Zijun asked.

"They all say that there is no market for people like me, and the plot is not mature." Wang Binghan said, "This may be my own problem, and I am not very good at making up that kind of passionate sensational story." ”

Wang Zijun asked: "Are you interested in coming to my company to be a screenwriter?" ”

"Really?" Wang Binghan said in surprise.

It is said that this anime is about to enter the "air age", and the impact on the martial arts world is unprecedented, and traditional martial arts have to change. One of them is the change of writing style and style, such as Gu Long's combination of martial arts novels and detective novels, and the other is like "Sou Shen Ji", which combines martial arts as a story of gods and monsters. The other is that martial arts are evolving in the direction of fantasy or science fiction.

Wang Zijun said: "At present, this kind of martial arts is not suitable for filming, at least technically it is difficult to achieve the effect, but it can be made into comics and cartoons." What I invite you to join is such an anime studio. ”

If you don't take action, the Taiwan market will be occupied by this animation in a few years.

Wang Binghan was a little disappointed when he heard Wang Zijun say this, but it was better than him being an electrical repairman, so he agreed.

The awards of the first martial arts novel essay contest are about to begin, and dozens of reporters came to the scene, but they are all reporters and editors of newspapers and magazines related to martial arts novels, at most they take a few photos, but there is no one on the TV station carrying the camera, and people don't pay attention to it at all.

The awards for novels are long, medium, and short, with short stories of less than 5,000 words and long stories of more than 100,000 words. There are first, second, and third prizes, and finally there is a part of the excellence award.

These award-winning novels were immediately targeted by major publishing houses, and although Yu Donglou had already taken action, he did not make a bad business, and only chose three novels that he saw very much, and gave up all the others to other publishing houses.

If you have money, you can make this event for a long time.

Wang Zijun returned to his judges' seat, surrounded by Jin Yong and others, and it could be seen that everyone was very happy about the grand occasion at the scene.

Among them, Xiao Yat is the happiest, because he is a pure professional martial arts novelist. Like Jin Yong, he also runs a magazine while writing novels, Gu Long writes novels and writes scripts, and others also have different professions such as teachers and editors, so they can survive even if they don't write martial arts novels.

Xiao Yi, a person who makes a living purely from martial arts novels, naturally hopes to see the prosperity of the martial arts world, he and Wang Zijun bit their ears and said: "I was still a little skeptical when the association was founded the year before last, but now I have discovered the importance of this association. One or two of the ten award-winning people went on to write martial arts novels, which is also a very good thing. ”

What is the most important thing for an industry to develop? Naturally, it is fresh blood, if there is no talent to invest in this industry, then sooner or later it will be cold.

Of course, the recession of martial arts novels is also an important reason, if martial arts novels make money, you don't need to say that there are people who sharpen their heads and drill into it, if they don't make money, who wants to do this?

The award-winning contestants came to the stage to receive the awards one by one, they were all just ordinary fans of martial arts novels, and this competition allowed them to see another way out.

All the award-winning novels will be published, and even if there is no publisher asking for it, the association will also contact the publisher with a discount, but the circulation may not be so large.

Moreover, the reward amount of the first prize is as high as 30,000 Taiwan dollars, the second prize is also 10,000 yuan, the third prize is 5,000, the excellence award is 3,000, and the round-trip tickets and air tickets are also reimbursed. These funds are all derived from the association's membership fees and commissions from the journal.

This is enough to arouse the creative enthusiasm of countless people, and even pull some people back from the pile of comics back to the world of martial arts.

Judging from the number of submissions this year, martial arts novels may be popular again for several years.

The winners did not leave after receiving the awards, and the main event was in the afternoon, in addition to some of the winners and readers of "Martial Soul" who were invited, there were also some fans of the novel who came at their own expense.

"Liu Nianjun, the winner of the Outstanding Newcomer Award of the 1st Asian Martial Arts Awards, is fresh and elegant, rich in the unique and delicate feelings of female surnames, with ups and downs in the plot, and a grand Warring States world background......"

Liu Nianjun was the one when Wang Zijun met the female classmate in Tsinghua University, and later hooked up with Gu Long for a while, but they broke up soon. Gu Long is a prodigal son, and Liu Nianjun is a female surname with more reading ability, so it's strange that the two can get along.

Liu Nianjun is a new star in the martial arts industry today, and under the deliberate packaging and cultivation of the East Building, he has now published two novels of hundreds of thousands of words, especially a large number of former romance novel readers.

"Whew!" Seeing that Liu Nianjun was actually a beauty, many people in the audience began to howl wolves, and it is estimated that there are more fans.

"Liang Yusheng, the winner of the first Asian Martial Arts Awards, has inherited the ...... of classical Chinese culture as a series of martial arts works represented by his "Pingxia Film" and "Yunhai Jade Bow Edge"

Since the martial arts culture award is the first issue since its inception, everyone unanimously discussed it during the selection, and finally decided to release the selection period.

Wang Zijun also won a "unique award", which was won because "Sou Shen Ji" extended martial arts to ancient times.

"The last award, the Asian Martial Arts Lifetime Achievement Award, was won by Jin Yong......"

This award is only given to writers who have closed their pen and have made great contributions to the development of martial arts novels.
