Chapter 002: A Martial Arts Novel Like No Other
Condor or Draco?
Chu Liuxiang, or Li Xunhuan?
The masterpieces of Jin Yong and Gu Long flashed in Chen Qi's mind one by one.
But.
Soon, these were all denied.
As long as Jin Yong and Gu Long's novels come out, they will definitely be able to kill all sides and dominate the rivers and lakes.
But don't forget that Chen Qi is now just a newcomer who can't be newer, and he hasn't dropped out of college.
The beginning of Jin Yong's novel is plain and simple, eloquent and full of atmosphere; As soon as Gu Long's novel begins, it is unpredictable, and Gu Long's writing sword is on the edge and his personal style is strong. If you are a famous artist, there will definitely be no problem in publishing such a novel.
But if you put it on Chen Qi, a dropout student, others will not see the majestic and unpredictable, but only plain and strange.
It is definitely an exaggeration to say that it was swept out of the door directly by the publishing house, but the price must be extremely low.
As a person from the earth, who has experienced the most glorious era of martial arts novels, Chen Qi definitely can't accept the secret casting of famous works like "Shooting the Condor" or "Xiao Li Flying Knife".
"Then choose Liang Yusheng's novel."
Liang Yusheng can be said to be the founder of the new school of martial arts novels, in 1954 he created "Dragon and Tiger Fighting Jinghua" caused a sensation, opened the prelude to the new school of martial arts novels, after that, Jin Yong Gulong and other martial arts masters continued to work hard, only to have the glory of martial arts novels for more than half a century.
In terms of creative concept, Liang Yusheng abandoned the tendency of the old school of martial arts novels to blindly revenge and murder, and built chivalry on the basis of justice, dignity and love for the people, and put forward the concept of "winning martial arts with chivalry".
Liang Yusheng's novels inherit the old-school martial arts of the Republic of China, and Qi Jin Yong and other famous artists, so it is just right to publish Liang Yusheng's novels at this time, and there will be no phenomenon that Jin Yong's Gulong novels are too "high-end" and the people can't accept them.
After choosing Liang Yusheng, Chen Qi is thinking about which novel to choose?
Liang Yusheng has created more than 30 martial arts masterpieces, including "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch", "Seven Swords Under the Heavenly Mountain", "Pingxia Film", "Yunhai Jade Bow Edge" and so on.
Chen Qi's first thought was "Ping's Tracer Movie".
"Pingxia Film" is the culmination of Liang Yusheng's martial arts novels, and it is also Liang Yusheng's most satisfying work.
It's just that Chen Qi still thinks that it's good that Ping's Shadow is good, but as a newcomer, it's difficult for Ping's Shadow to attract people's attention the fastest.
"Then this one."
A name flashed in Chen Qi's mind.
- "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch".
The Legend of the White-Haired Witch, as soon as you hear the name, is different from regular martial arts novels.
Yes, not only the name, but the content of "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch" is also very different from most conventional martial arts novels.
Because the soul of "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch" is a woman. In the novel, Lian Nishang does not appear too much, but the aura is shrouded in the whole book, not to mention other supporting roles in the novel, even if it is the male protagonist Zhuo Yihang, he is her foil.
Lian Nishang, a woman raised by a she-wolf, was fortunately adopted by her master and practiced a strange and beautiful peerless martial arts. As soon as he entered the rivers and lakes, he was the leader of the green forest, countering violence with violence, and those who did not accept it were killed, and he got the nickname of "Jade Rakshasa".
is such a woman, but practicing neon clothes is by no means lacking in the softness of women.
Her martial arts practice is like dancing with her sleeves raised, her hole flute is like silk, and there are thousands of styles in her eyes, chasing love like a moth to a fire......
Smart, beautiful, strong in martial arts, affectionate to love, dare to love and hate!
This is Lian Nishang, a real martial arts son and daughter who is not confined to the world!
It is conceivable that as long as "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch" comes out, what kind of impact will it have on readers who are used to watching a group of men fight and kill, and women are just foils?
What's more, Chen Qi originally liked to practice neon clothes, and "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch" is one of the most classic martial arts novels in his heart.
Just do it, Chen Qi began to type.
"A sword comes from the west, a thousand arches are in a row, and the shadow is vertical and horizontal: ask the mirror is not a platform, Bodhi is not a tree, the realm starts from the heart, can it be distinguished?
Is it a demon or not a demon? Either a demon or a demon? We have to wait for the future generations to comment! Let's clean up, talk about the children, and talk about leisure first.
The wind and thunder are magnificent, and the frost is charming. Sigh beauty peerless, white-headed and old, a hundred years of promise, live up to the alliance. Short flowers, long poems with wine, poems and swords always remember Qing every year. On the Tianshan Mountain, watch the dragon and snake pen go, and Mo Po Nanming ......"
From this poem, the story of the white-haired witch begins.
The strange and magnificent memories in Chen Qi's mind began to turn into jumping words.
It wasn't until noon, when Chen Qi's stomach was rumbling with hunger, that he stopped typing.
In these two or three hours, he coded the first three episodes of "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch", and the first three episodes were added together, close to 40,000 words, and finally ended with the first meeting between the male protagonist Zhuo Yihang and Lian Nishang, and the beginning of the story was completed.
Looking at the documents on the computer screen, Chen Qi was satisfied for a while, and his voyage to the new world began.
Storing the document on a USB flash drive, Chen Qi began to go to lunch.
After lunch, he printed out several copies of the first three episodes of "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch".
Afterwards, Chen Qi began to wash his hair and take a shower, tidied up his whole body, and then found the best set of clothes to wear on his body.
It's the best clothes, but it's actually just cheap casual clothes.
Chen Qi has worked several jobs in the past two years, and he has been busy day and night, to be honest, his income is much higher than that of ordinary white-collar workers.
But He Wei entered the film and television academy, not to mention the expensive tuition, and the fees in it are even more ridiculously high, you see that they are all people who want to be stars, how can they be shabby when they are dressed up?
In order for He Wei to dress decently and eat better, Chen Qi has not bought himself a single piece of clothing in the past two years.
"Is this kid infatuated, or stupid?"
But now that this body has changed to a different person, the current Chen Qi will only live for himself.
With the memories of another world, it is difficult for him to think of a dull future.
"I don't know if that He Wei will regret it to death then?"
After Chen Qi dried his hair, he went out with the printout of "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch".
He only has a little change left in his pocket now, and if "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch" is not published soon, he will not even have money for food in two days.
Chen Qi's first stop was the Chivalry Culture Publishing House.
The magazine "Chivalry" is published and operated by the Chivalry Culture Publishing House, and the "Chivalry" magazine is now the most popular martial arts magazine in China, with a monthly circulation of more than 3 million copies.
Chivalry Culture Publishing House, mainly engaged in "Chivalry" and publishes the works of some martial arts masters, of course, modern literature, classical literature, and foreign literature are also involved. In the past few years, a series of books launched by Xia Ke Culture are often frequent visitors on the best-selling list of books.
Soon, Chen Qi came to the office building of the "Chivalry Culture Publishing House".
Standing in front of the door, Chen Qi took a deep breath, and then strode in.
He has absolute confidence in his novels, and as for whether the chivalrous culture is illiterate or not, it is not for him to decide.
"Excuse me, are you okay?"
A woman in her twenties, wearing a work uniform and glasses, walked over, although the front desk lady didn't think that Chen Qi would have any business here, but she still said politely.
"May I ask if your publishing house "Chivalry" magazine still accepts manuscripts?" Chen Qi asked directly.
"A draft of a martial arts novel? As long as it is a good quality manuscript, our publishing house has been vigorously collecting it. The front desk lady said with a smile.
"That's good. This is my manuscript and there is absolutely no problem with the quality. ”
Chen Qiyang said as he took out the manuscript that Yang had printed.
"You're here to contribute?"
The front desk lady looked Chen Qi up and down, and saw that he was too young, not at all like a person who could write excellent martial arts novels, so she hesitated a little and said, "Sir, have you contacted the editor-in-chief or other editors in advance?" ”
"Nope. I came directly to submit the manuscript, and here is the first 40,000 words of the manuscript I wrote. Chen Qi said.
The front desk lady glanced at Chen Qi's manuscript, and the first thing she thought was the five words "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch".
Seeing the name of the novel, the front desk lady looked down a little bit in her heart, "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch" is such a strange name, and it doesn't look like a mainstream martial arts novel.
"You leave your phone number and address, just put the manuscript here, and it will definitely give you a reply within half a month." The front desk lady said.
Chen Qi looked up and looked around, and the entire publishing house didn't look like it was too busy, so he said, "Can you make it convenient, just today, the review of the manuscript will be very fast." I can wait here. ”
Because of He Wei's matter, Chen Qi was depressed, two of the three jobs were quit, and the remaining one was a casual job in a restaurant, and he didn't want to wash the dishes anymore, so he didn't want to wait another two weeks.
"I'll help you send the manuscript over, as for whether it will be your turn today, it's up to your luck." Seeing that he was obsessed, the front desk lady lost her patience and sent the manuscript to the editorial office, so she stopped talking.
Chen Qi was not angry, turned around and poured a glass of water, and then sat on the sofa in the reception area and waited.
Half an hour, an hour......
Two hours passed.
Chen Qi had already drunk five glasses of water and gone to the toilet twice.
However, he still has to wait.
……
Chivalry Culture Editorial Department.
Editor-in-chief Shen Menghai took a sip of coffee, then opened a stack of papers and read it.
This "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch" has been sent a long time ago, and it is said that the author is still waiting outside, but Shen Menghai doesn't care at all, he is an editor-in-chief of chivalrous culture, and it is not someone whose manuscript is sent, he will read it immediately.
After completing a report, talking to someone on the phone for half an hour, and reading foreign masterpieces for a while, Shen Menghai leisurely picked up this "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch".
"Nowadays people like to be grandstanding."
The main reason why Shen Menghai despises Chen Qi's manuscript so much is the name of this novel.
"The Legend of the White-Haired Witch" is a novel with this kind of name, or it is grandiose, relying on the name to attract attention, and the content is extremely poor; Otherwise, it is an excellent work above the standard, but how can a little-known newcomer write an excellent work, so this novel must be a grandstanding.
A sword comes from the west, a thousand arches are in a row, and the shadow is vertical and horizontal......
In the cool autumn of September, the grass in the north is declining, and there is a group of people and horses, who are moving westward along the Daba Mountains on the border of Sichuan and Shaanxi provinces......
Half an hour later, Shen Menghai raised his head.
"It's kind of interesting. Xiao Chen, go and ask, has the person who submitted the article just now gone? If he doesn't leave, let him in. ”
