Time passed in a hurry, and in the blink of an eye, Qin Ge had been back to Duyun for three days. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In the past few days, several of them who participated in the New Concept Essay Contest can be regarded as famous, and they are being talked about on campus, especially Qin Ge, who opened his legend again after entering the school in his first year of high school.
Especially after the school's commendation meeting, Qin Ge can be regarded as a campus cloud figure. There were even people who knew about Qin Ge's situation before who put up slogans like "The Return of the King" in the campus weekly newspaper.
But Qin Ge didn't know that after receiving the school award, he took a few days off, and at the moment he was hiding in his small dilapidated house full of newspapers to catch up with the manuscript.
I have to say that Qin Ge is really willing to spend money, in order to facilitate the code words in the future, he actually spent more than 15,000 yuan to buy an acerp3 laptop, and then spent more than 4,000 yuan to buy a Nokia 8850 to use first, and the 20,000 yuan for charging the phone bill is gone. You must know that 20,000 yuan is not a small amount in 2001, it is worth the income of an ordinary family for a year, but now Qin Ge is rich and willful, and he didn't even blink his eyes when the money was spent, because he knew that he could use this computer to create greater wealth.
From the perspective of his previous life, the computer and mobile phone in his hand are really dirty, and they are very expensive. Qin Ge, who was used to using smart machines when he first got started, was really a little uncomfortable, but there was no way, the era of smart phones had not yet come, and now he could only use these old antiques in his eyes for the time being.
In fact, he is really rushing to the manuscript, because in the past few days, he has been studying the situation of serialized novels in major newspapers and periodicals, to see what the novels they serialize are like, and how he can fight his way out of the novels serialized in thousands of newspapers and periodicals.
In fact, the newspaper serialized novel has a long history, and English magazines began to flourish in the second half of the eighteenth century, of which there were more than 30 popular magazines in 1790. The most famous are "Township Magazine" and "Lady Magazine". Most of the magazine's content is based on romance serialized novels to earn sales, and at most a magazine can reach 10,000 monthly subscriptions.
After entering the 20th century, due to the vigorous development of radio and television media, newspapers and magazines in Europe and the United States gradually changed from a medium for leisure and recreation to a platform for reporting current affairs and commentaries. At the same time, with the birth of new literary trends, writers have also begun to seek to get rid of the constraints of serialization on the content and form of the novel itself. Correspondingly, the craze for publishing novels in serialized form has gradually decreased. However, there are still many famous novels that have been serialized, such as Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes, Hemingway's Farewell, Arms, James Joyce's Ulysses, and so on.
In the early twentieth century, China was still in the midst of a boom in serialized novels. Writers and writers promote their literary, artistic, or political ideas by running newspapers and magazines. The so-called four condemnation novels of the late Qing Dynasty were all published in serialized form. Li Boyuan's "The Appearance of Officialdom" was serialized in "Prosperous Daily"; Liu E's "The Travels of the Old Remnant" was serialized in "Embroidered Novel"; Zeng Pu's "Flower of the Sea of Evil" was serialized in "Novel Forest"; Wu Zhaoren's "The Strange Status Quo Witnessed in Twenty Years" was serialized in "Novel Series" and so on.
Chinese serial novels are implicitly in line with the Ming and Qing Dynasty Zhanghui novels, so they inherit the various themes of Zhanghui novels: romance, satire, detective, martial arts, and integrate the characteristics of Western literature. Among them, the most popular are "Mandarin Duck Butterfly Pie" and shady novels. The representative works of the "Mandarin School" include Zhang Hatshui's "Laughing Marriage", Xu Zhenya's "Jade Pear Soul", Wu Shuangre's "Mirror of Evil Injustice", Li Dingyi's "Jade Resentment", etc., while shady novels are represented by "The Appearance of Officialdom" and "The Strange Status Quo Witnessed in Twenty Years".
After the May Fourth Movement, left-wing writers' serialized novels focused on exploring real social issues, and produced reportage serialized novels, such as Qu Qiubai's "Journey to the Russian Township", Bingxin's "Sending Young Readers", and Fan Changjiang's "The Northwest Corner of China".
In the fifties of the twentieth century, a boom in martial arts novels broke out in Hong Kong. The new-school martial arts novels serialized in newspapers by Liang Yusheng, Jin Yong, and the master of the Hundred Swords Hall, known as the Three Musketeers of the literary world, caused a huge sensation in Hong Kong. After that, Jin Yong and Gu Long's martial arts novels were serialized even more permanently. In addition to martial arts novels in the 60s, Taiwan's Qiong Yao's serialized romance novels were also popular in Chinese society. After the eighties of the twentieth century, newspapers and magazines in Chinese mainland gradually resumed the way of serializing novels. Among them, reportage, autobiographies and realistic fiction are the mainstay.
This is the history of newspaper serialized novels in previous lives, and although this world is different, it is mostly limited to the works themselves, and the trajectory of development has not changed much.
Now that the era of smart phones has not yet arrived, computers and the Internet are still very rare things, and paper reading has become the best way for people to obtain information and have fun.
With the relative improvement of living standards, people's demand for culture has become urgent, so this time period of this world is the golden time for paper reading.
In other words, this is the time when Qin Ge can show his talents.
However, after studying these things and determining the first goal, Qin Ge was a little hesitant.
Why hesitate? Because he found that there was really so much he could write about.
Martial arts, he can write "Dragon Babu", "Condor Heroes", "Smiling Proud Jianghu", "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng", "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang".
Suspenseful, he could write "The Silence of the Lambs", "Perfume", "White Night Walking", "Murder on the Orient Express", "The Da Vinci Code".
Science fiction, he can write "Code Book", "Dune", "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea", "Three-Body Problem", "Interstellar War".
If he really wants to play, he can even serialize web novels like "Back to the Ming Dynasty as a Prince", "Blasphemy", "Journey to Piao", and "Breaking the Sky", but this is a bit long, and it is more suitable for serialization on the website.
Usually everyone is sad because they can't write something, but Qin Ge is entangled because there are too many things he can write. The above thought of these are some of the most powerful novels in each category, Qin Ge knows that as long as it is serialized, it will definitely cause a sensation immediately, setting off a trend in this category to lead the trend for a while.
But the above categories are already there.,You can write it slowly after you want to write.,It's gold that shines wherever it is.,He believes that those works will definitely shine in this world no matter when they're serialized.,So these aren't in a hurry to be serialized.。
In order to be a real hit, he thought about it and decided that the first serialized novel would create a genre that had not yet been published in the world.
So he thought of a novel, that is, the originator of tomb robbery - "Ghost Blowing the Lamp".
In the previous life, as the originator of tomb robbery novels, "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", which blended reality and fiction, tomb robbery and exploration, quickly became the top of the book sales list as soon as it was published, and won the enthusiastic pursuit of countless fans.
The movie adapted from "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is also very strong, and the box office of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Looking for the Dragon" broke the 100 million yuan mark 14 hours after its official release, accounting for 66% of the box office, which is the best embodiment of the fan economy.
So Qin Ge decided that his first novel in this world was this "Ghost Blowing the Lamp".
And he also believes that as soon as "Ghost Blows Out the Lantern" comes out, "Youth Daily" will definitely create a column for itself, because he believes that "Ghost Blows Out the Lamp" is worthy of "Youth Daily" to do.
After the target was locked, Qin Ge immediately began to create, although the hand speed in his previous life had not been completely recovered, but it took him more than three hours to successfully write down the first eight chapters of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", including the introduction, about 34,000 words.
His eyes glanced at the lower right corner of the computer, and seeing that the time was already past twelve o'clock, and his stomach was a little hungry, Qin Ge stopped. The text of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" in the word document was sorted out.,Add a brief introduction in front.,And then it was admitted to the U disk that I gave when I bought a computer.。
Putting the U disk in his trouser pocket, Qin Ge took some money and went out.
On the way to the restaurant, he dialed Su Xue's phone, told her that he had already written the novel, and asked her how to submit the article to "Youth Daily".
Su Xue was very happy after receiving Qin Ge's call, and after a few polite greetings, she sent the email address of the reviewer editor to Qin Ge by text message, and told Qin Ge that she would help urge her to help urge her to let Qin Ge wait for the call, and it is estimated that there will be a reply in the afternoon.
So Qin Ge changed his itinerary, went to the [Fantasy Miracle] Internet café to find Lin Hao to get his ID card to surf the Internet, and sent the manuscript of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" to the mailbox given by Su Xue.
Because he was really hungry, Qin Ge didn't continue to surf the Internet, because Lin Hao was on duty, he didn't ask Lin Hao to go to eat together, and after stuffing a pack of cigarettes to Lin Hao, he went to eat by himself.
