Chapter 103: The Story of Shooting Birds
The magazine arranged an interview with Zhang Tan's editor, who is still the Biwan pillow whose real name is Xu Dan.
After knowing what Xu Dan himself looked like, Zhang Tan no longer had any illusions about her, so he no longer deliberately played humor during the interview, but asked and answered very seriously.
I talked about the various ideas and structures for the creation of the Four Famous Catches, the process from choosing to write and publishing a novel, and what I will write in my next book.
"The story of the four famous catches has not been written yet, in fact, "Zhen Kanto" and "Huijing Division" just made a foreshadowing for this story, after reading these two novels, you will probably understand all the basic settings of the four famous catches. But I don't really want to continue writing now, since last year, to this year, it's all this story, I'm a little tired of writing, and I need to change my mind urgently. ”
"And what kind of story will you write in your new book?"
"Well, it's going to be a story of a man shooting a bird with a bow and arrow."
“…… The story of shooting birds, is it about a man who knows how to bow and arrow? ”
"I've put together an outline, probably in the form of a trilogy, and the next book is the first part of the trilogy, a story about how to shoot birds...... Okay, the above is a joke, the story is set in the Southern Song Dynasty, around the time when Mongolia was about to invade the Central Plains in the south. ”
"Can you tell us a little bit about the story, the metaphor of shooting birds is too unimaginable."
"Well, it's mainly about a young man named Guo Jing who broke into the rivers and lakes with family hatred and national hatred, and with the help of his confidante Huang Rong, through countless trainings, he finally grew into a martial arts story of a generation of heroes. The great man of chivalry is for the country and the people; The little one of chivalry is a friend and a neighbor. The protagonist Guo Jing will be a chivalrous man. ”
"Wow, when you say that, the idea of this novel suddenly becomes taller."
"Hehe, in fact, it is also a novel, no matter how big the idea is, it is also a martial arts novel, treasure hunting in the rivers and lakes, conspiracies and fights, these will be there."
“…… Okay, thank you Tan Zhang for bringing us so much news about the new book, and at the end of the interview, tell us the name of the new book, right? ”
"OK, no problem, the new book is called Bird Shooting Hero...... No, it's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". ”
"The Legend of the Condor Heroes", the first part of the Condor trilogy, the third martial arts novel written by Jin Yong, was published before he founded "Ming Pao". As soon as the Condor Shooting came out, the Xiangxiang paper was expensive, and then it spread to the Chinese areas all over the world, and almost everyone who likes to watch martial arts does not know "Condor Shooting".
In today's world, Jin Gu, Huang, Liang and Wen have all disappeared, and these precious classic works can only rely on Zhang Tanmian to create them.
In fact, in the earliest writing plan, he did not plan to write Jin Yong's classics so early. Among martial arts writers, I have to admit that Jin Yong is a generation that has reached its peak, ranking first in Jin Gu Huang Liang Wen, it is not unreasonable. In terms of the storytelling, readability, and popularity of the adaptation, it is not comparable to several others.
Jin Yong's several classics, that is, the big killers in the martial arts world.
It seems a little too hung when he was only sixteen years old, and it can be imagined that a book becomes a god, which is not in line with Zhang Tan's "low-key" character. But now there are plenty of reasons for Zhang Tan to put pen to paper.
First, the two four famous catches paved the way for him to get off to a good start, and the creation of "Shooting the Condor" will not seem too abrupt.
Second, Han Jingming, this guy wrote two books that were not up or down, and he almost sold them out and became a well-known young writer in the country, and Zhang Tan was unwilling to be left behind.
Third, if you think about it carefully, it doesn't make much sense for him to keep so many classics in his hands, and in a few years, Zhang Tan will definitely take the road of directing, and it is impossible to bury his head in front of the computer every day and type words. And the era of online literature is approaching day by day, and the decline of martial arts has become a foregone conclusion, although Zhang Tan believes that the classics he holds will not be outdated, and he has to consider timeliness.
Fourth, and the key factor that contributed to Zhang Tan's early publication of "Shooting the Condor", was the humiliation of Wu Khan's trip. Let him really feel the embarrassment of his lack of fame and lack of strength.
Since he relived, what he has pursued is a chic life, and he doesn't want to bully others, but he doesn't allow others to ride on his head. And if you want to find such chic, you can only make yourself awesome. When the time comes, Chen Liangjun, vice president of Shenma Wuhan University Press, will do it directly in one sentence.
And they've all been relived again, so what's there to take care of.
I didn't have any skills in my last life, I was in a mess, I didn't dare to fight with others in things, and I always cowered. In this life, the head is full of talent, why should you be afraid?
Do what you want to do, pretend to be forced if you want to, don't bird anyone if you want to, except for parents, Lao Tzu is the biggest!
It's not a wasted life.
Bidding farewell to the interview with Bi Wanzhen, Zhang Tan took the outline of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" in his hand, and the corners of his mouth curled up with an arc: "Lao Jin, Lao Jin, this time we are going to shoot a big bird!" I am confident that after 200 years of life, I will hit the water for 3,000 miles! ”
Zhang Tan has always been a guy full of sling.
This is a personality that took thirty years to develop in the previous life, and it has been reborn, except that the body is new, and the personality and ideas are the personality and ideas that a thirty-year-old man should have.
But people change, and different environments create different ideas.
Now Zhang Tan is mixed with the campus all day long, and a lot of his sling-silk breath has been washed away by campus life, and the success of his writing has made him both famous and rich, and he has the confidence to go anywhere, plus the body's hormone secretion is vigorous. Over time, ideas and personalities naturally changed, and they became much more confident and domineering.
The frivolity in his bones has not changed, but now it can't be called frivolous, it should be called humor and personality, and no matter how bad it is, it is cynical.
As Kong Yiji said: "Can the business of a scholar be regarded as stealing?" ”
Can the smell of the sling silk of the awesome character be called sling? Wang Sicong, the guy who mentions the heartbreak of the entertainment industry and makes a splash, is not a bunch of people following behind his ass and shouting about the national husband and wanting to give birth to a child.
If you have the ability and money, others will naturally look up to you.
This is the nature of society.
……
Zhang Tan's interview will be published in the July issue of "Ancient Legends: Martial Arts Edition", just as the serialization of "Huijing Division" ends. Therefore, the assistant recruitment information will also have to wait until after July.
And he didn't plan to start writing "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" right away.
I want to deal with the publication of the simplified Chinese version of "The Four Famous Catchers of Jingshi" first, and at the same time, take advantage of the World Cup to take my parents abroad to watch the game.
My parents have never been abroad in their lives, and they have very few opportunities to go out of the province or the city. The last time they left the province was before Zhang Tan was born. At that time, Zhang Quanshun was a soldier in Unit 37352 of the Navy in Guangludao, Dalian, and Tan Mingxia carried the three-year-old Zhang Yan on her back, took a train for a few days, and then changed ships to cross the Bohai Sea and went to Dalian.
It was during that visit that time that there was Zhang Tan.
Later, after Zhang Tan was born, Zhang Quanshun was demobilized and returned to his hometown and went to the grain station in the town.
Fifteen or sixteen years have passed in a flash.
So when Zhang Tan proposed to take them abroad to watch the World Cup, Zhang Quanshun and his wife were both moved, and the family conditions were good, why couldn't they enjoy it. A trip abroad will only cost tens of thousands of dollars at most. Not to mention Zhang Tan's manuscript fee, even the income of the Internet café at home is enough to support an occasional trip abroad.
"Then decide so!" Tan Mingxia slapped the table, gritted her teeth and made up her mind.
