Hehuai Road has been repaired, half of the road is closed, and vehicles can only drive on half of the lane, often large trucks have to occupy the sidewalk, slow down and slow down.

And the dust along the way made up, and the windows could not be opened.

In the bumpy carriage, Zhang Tan, who rarely had a two-day holiday, was so uncomfortable that he couldn't sleep at all, so he could only hold a book and take it with him. Don't look at the bumps, and look twice if you don't bumps. This book is not a textbook, but a trial issue of "Ancient Legends: Martial Arts Edition", the first issue of the total.

The trial issue, as the name suggests, is an experimental publication, which is placed on the market as a giveaway to see if readers can accept it. So the length is not very large, except for some short articles such as inscriptions and manuscript instructions, there are three martial arts novels left.

One is the novella "Plum Shadow Burying Incense" by mainland rookie Yang Rebellion, the other is the novella "Three Swords Chasing the Soul" by the famous Hong Kong artist Zhang Feifei, and the other is the first part of "Chasing and Killing" created by Zhang Tan in "The Four Famous Capture and Earthquake Kanto", which has been calibrated and published in full in more than 65,000 words. It was originally scheduled to be 30,000 words, but later due to the enthusiastic response from readers, the first full text was directly published.

This is not the first time Zhang Tan has seen his novel published in a magazine.

But the excitement is no less.

Because, in addition to publishing the novel, at the end of the article, the author Zhang Tan is also introduced.

Tan Zhang, whose real name is Zhang Tan, is a native of Feng County, Heqi City, Anwei Province, born on April 24, 1986, and is currently studying in the first year of high school. In his spare time, he loves to read and write, and when he was young, he read martial arts masterpieces, "The Four Famous Capture of the Kanto" is his first creative work, and he is currently working on the second part of "Outlaw". ”

The author introduces the following, and the editor-in-chief comments: "Tan Zhang is a potential star of mainland martial arts, although he is young, his pen power is extraordinary, and he is not far behind famous artists from Hong Kong and Taiwan." The style of his works is simple and unpretentious, the details of the story are rigorous and twists and turns, easy to understand, fascinating, and he is really an unborn martial arts genius! ”

This is a high praise, but Zhang Tan smiled without hesitation, yes, I am an unborn genius.

Anyone with more than ten years of future memories in their head can be called a talent.

At the same time as publishing the full text, the editorial department also transferred the follow-up 30,000 words to Zhang Tan's account, and another 6,000 yuan was credited.

Zhang Tan submitted a total of three submissions.

The first time was to submit the story version to the editorial department, 12,000 words, and finally got the 100 words and 100 manuscript fees for the story version and the 200 manuscript fees for 1,000 words for the martial arts version, that is, 300 words per 1,000 words, and a total of 2,265 yuan after tax deduction.

The second time was a reminder from the editorial department of the martial arts edition, 23,000 words, because the story version was no longer published, so there was only a manuscript fee of 200 words per 1,000 words, and a total of 4,300 yuan after tax deduction.

The third time is also a reminder, a total of 30,000 words, and the sum before and after is exactly all the words of the first "Pursuit", the same thousand words and 200 words, and 4,785 yuan after tax deduction.

In other words, Zhang Tan wrote the first "Chase and Kill" of "The Four Famous Capture of the Kanto", and earned a total of 11,355 yuan in manuscript fees, and the total creation time before and after was just one month.

"With a monthly income of 10,000 yuan, I am also a white-collar worker with a monthly income of 10,000 yuan!"

The monthly income of 10,000 yuan in 2001 was definitely to the extent of flying.

Ordinary people, like Zhang Tan's father Zhang Quanshun, work at the grain station, and his salary is only seven or eight hundred yuan a month, that is to say. Zhang Quanshun before he was laid off, a year's salary plus bonuses, and Zhang Tan didn't earn as much as he did in a month. At this time, the waiter who served the dishes in Heqi City was at most four or five hundred yuan a month, and Zhang Tan supported the waiter for two years a month.

High-income class, absolute high-income class.

However, this class, that is, a small number of people can reach it, and ordinary people do not want to publish novels in "Legends of the Ancients" at all. All walks of life, as long as they stand at the top level, income is indispensable. Those famous Hong Kong and Taiwan writers, maybe before a novel is written, the publishing house will throw out tens or hundreds of thousands of manuscript fees.

Of course, it is generally difficult for writers to be productive, and it is normal for a book to be polished for two a year.

That is, Zhang Tan, who can think like a spring of thoughts, and write with divine help.

"The second part is mellowed, and it has a lot more content than the original book, at least 100,000 words, and I have written 60,000 words so far, and I sent it to the editorial office at noon, which happened to be published in the inaugural issue. There are more than 40,000 words left, and I will try to get it done next month, and after I get it, I will have to raise the manuscript fee requirements. ”

If you write well, you have to get more money, that's the last word.

……

Zhang Tan went home on vacation, and "Ancient Legends - Martial Arts Edition" was also presented to readers with the release of "Ancient Legends - Story Edition".

As an old reader, Zhang Shanming, an ideological and political teacher at Shuangdun Middle School, naturally bought the magazine as soon as possible, and soon found Zhang Tan's novel in the trial issue.

Zhang Shanming's interest in martial arts can only be said to be general, he prefers those rural history, such as the top ten marshals and ten generals. But Zhang Tan is a student of Shuangdun Middle School, Zhang Shanming naturally wants to take a good look at the follow-up of "The Four Famous Capture of Kanto", and he watched it quickly.

After reading it, I nodded unconsciously.

"There is no vanity under the fame, and it is really able to be favored by magazines, this level of writing and storytelling ability is worse than the beginning of the previous part, and the words and sentences are more sophisticated, amazing, I can't believe it, this is written by a high school student."

Zhang Shanming sighed infinitely, he doesn't like to watch martial arts very much, but he is still attracted by this martial arts, and the story is really fascinating.

Immediately, he set his sights on the end of the article.

On the author's introduction column, Zhang Tan's name is written in black and white, and it is indicated that he is a freshman in high school.

"Maybe, my Shuangdun Middle School will also have a martial arts master." Zhang Shanming touched his chin, "Go back and talk to Xiao Yu well, such a student can't be wiped out by exam-oriented education, and he should be given more freedom to create." And that Tan dared to have a hard face with Xiao Luo, who had a loud voice, and his temper was obviously not small, so he dropped out of school and became another Han Jingming. ”

Han Jingming is talented, but he dropped out of high school and published the theory that reading is useless, which is undoubtedly a slap in the face of the entire education system, which makes people love and hate.

Zhang Shanming admires Han Jingming, and is also very disgusted by his theory that reading is useless. If jade is not cut, it will not be made, and people will not know if they do not learn. Reading is useful all the time. However, Han Jingming, who was unconventional, published the theory that reading is useless, and he really dropped out of school and became famous.

This directly affects many people and makes many people mistakenly think that reading is useless.

As a teacher, Zhang Shanming accepted that he couldn't. Therefore, he is also a little worried about Zhang Tan, in case Zhang Tan can't accept the constraints of school, after writing novels and becoming famous, he will also have a theory that reading is useless and drop out of school directly, how many people will this have to bring?

"Yes, let's talk about it."

Closing the trial issue, Zhang Shanming decided to go to the principal.

Zhang Tan, this young man, will become famous sooner or later!
