170 [Unheard of Novel Ideas]
Kang Jianfei was not an otaku bookworm in his last life, and he didn't read many novels. He only read novels when he was bored when he was wandering, and later joined the film and television company, basically following the crew, or reading various movies and professional books at home, and did not have much time to read miscellaneous books.
Of course, because of the TV series filmed with the crew, Kang Jianfei is very familiar with novels that have been remade many times, such as "Divine Condor", "Shè Eagle", "Xiao Li Flying Knife", and "Four Famous Catches". It's a pity that these novels have already been written by others, and he can't copy them at all.
"Zhu Xian", "Sou Shen Ji" or "Kunlun"?
Kang Jianfei also wanted to copy these novels, and he still remembered some of the general plots, but he didn't have the writing and couldn't write them at all. Wu Ruiqing is the same, he can't write that kind of fairy spirit or Jin Yong taste.
Kang Jianfei is now taking care of the company's affairs, and he doesn't have so much time to write novels, so he can only make an outline by himself, and then let his cousin write it on his behalf.
But ghostwriting and revision are completely different things, and my cousin, a sixteen-year-old boy, must not ask him to write a novel that requires rich experience or a lot of knowledge.
For example, in the novel "Kunlun", even if Kang Jianfei handed over the plot outline to Wu Ruiqing, it is estimated that Wu Ruiqing would not be able to read what he wrote, not to mention that neither of them knew anything about mathematics.
Thinking about it, Kang Jianfei remembered a Xiuzhen novel "Ethereal Journey" that he had read many years ago. This book seems to be very badly written (ethereal book lovers, don't spray me, you will know the Tao when you go back and read it again), purely based on the plot, which is just suitable for a young man like Wu Ruiqing to write on his behalf.
Kang Jianfei has forgotten most of the plot of "Ethereal Journey", but it doesn't matter, anyway, the book is stinky and long, and it doesn't matter if you cut some chapters and round the plot.
The basic setting Kang Jianfei changed it, and the name of the protagonist Li Qiang was too frustrating, so he changed it to Li Chengfeng as soon as he changed it. And then the rules of the heavy Xuanmen have to be changed.,Now Hong Kong is still relatively heavy on the inheritance of sects.,After getting started, all brothers are not divided into this kind of setting.,Writing it out will definitely be scolded.。
Kang Jianfei was worried that people now would not be able to accept this kind of Xiuzhen novel, so he took out the manuscript and said: "Don't look at the outline first, I wrote the first 50,000 words, you can read the text directly." If you don't think it's good, I'll change another book for you to write. ”
Wu Ruiqing took the manuscript and read it, and found that the opening chapter was modern Hong Kong, and couldn't help asking: "Cousin, is this book traveling through time and space again?" ”
Kang Jianfei dragged a stool over and sat down, and said, "Don't ask more, you continue to read, and tell me how you feel about reading after reading it." ”
Wu Ruiqing had to shut up and read the manuscript of the novel, and as soon as he appeared, the protagonist Li Chengfeng was betrayed by his friends and girlfriend, and he was terminally ill.
This protagonist is too decrepit!
Wu Ruiqing watched it patiently, and it wasn't until Qingfeng Zhenren Fu Chongbi appeared to accept the protagonist as an apprentice that he suddenly felt his eyes light up. As for Fu Chongbi, he instantly brought the protagonist Li Chengfeng to Mars, and there was a teleportation formation on Mars, so the plot made Wu Ruiqing dumbfounded.
Wu Ruiqing has watched "The Legend of Shushan Swordsman" several times at a young age, but "Shushan" is at least still on the earth, this "Ethereal Journey" has actually entered space and gone to the planet!
When Wu Ruiqing finished reading the 50,000-word manuscript, he looked at Kang Jianfei expectantly and said, "Cousin, this book is so good, why don't you write more." ”
As soon as Kang Jianfei saw his expression, he knew that his worries were unnecessary, and it seemed that Hong Kong people at this time would not be disgusted with books like "Ethereal Journey".
In fact, don't think about the newspaper serialization at this time, when Jin Yong serialized the novel in the newspaper back then, the plot was also full of loopholes, and because the time was too tight, there were often sick sentences. The current version of Jin Yong's novel has been deleted and changed more than a dozen times.
Kang Jianfei smiled: "Don't you want to write? Then I'll find someone to ghostwrite, those gunmen are more professional than you. ”
"I write!" Wu Ruiqing immediately put away the manuscript, for fear that Kang Jianfei would take it back, all this is money!
Kang Jianfei's manuscript fee at this time is still 500 words per thousand, and there is no other semicolon in Hong Kong. Although Ni Kuang was fired by Huang Yulang to such a high price, he was mainly serialized in "Ming Pao", and Jin Yong was already generous if he could give Ni Kuang 300 words per thousand words.
Wu Ruiqing carefully read the outline and various settings, Kang Jianfei saw that he was busy, and he was too lazy to stay, so he said hello to his cousin and left.
It wasn't until the evening that Wu Chenggang came back and saw that his son was writing a novel again, and his heart suddenly became angry, and he ran over to collect the manuscript and said: "The book is not good to read, and I wrote these nonsense things, believe it or not, I will tear it up for you." ”
Seeing that Wu Chenggang was about to tear up the manuscript, Wu Ruiqing hurriedly shouted anxiously: "Don't tear it, Lao Dou, you don't have paper in your hand, it's tens of thousands of yuan!" My cousin's new novel costs 500 yuan per thousand words, and this time he shared half of my manuscript fee. ”
Wu Chenggang stopped at this time, frowned and read, and then couldn't help but shake his head and said: "I really don't know how to write so many typos." ”
Wu Ruiqing snickered when he heard this: "That was written by my cousin." ”
Wu Chenggang watched it for a while, and finally realized the hard work of Secretary Kang Jianfei. used to be Li Shan, and now it's Chen Shuli, every time Kang Jianfei writes a script, they have to process it, otherwise they really can't meet people.
In fact, there are not many typos, mainly because Kang Jianfei's simplified Chinese character habits have not changed.
Wu Chenggang saw that his face was worse behind him, and asked, "You wrote this behind?" ”
Wu Ruiqing nodded and smiled: "Yes, I wrote the last 3,000 words." How about Lao Dou, my writing is much better than my cousin's, right? ”
Wu Chenggang slapped Wu Ruiqing's head and scolded: "The writing is a fart, although your cousin's writing is vulgar, at least the narrative dialogue is very sophisticated." What are you writing about? The words and deeds of the protagonist and the supporting characters are childish, and at first glance, you can see that Lu Dao is written by a child who doesn't understand anything. ”
Wu Ruiqing said angrily: ""Xun Qin Ji" was rewritten by me, and not so many people have read it. ”
Wu Chenggang taught: "Revision is revision, as long as the writing is smooth, ghostwriting is a kind of creation, and you are still very tender." Do you think how many people in Hong Kong are qualified to ghostwrite for Jin Yong and Gu Long? If this novel were to be published in the newspaper, your cousin's face would be lost to you. ”
Wu Ruiqing touched the door of his head that had just been fanned, and asked angrily, "Then what should I do?" ”
Wu Chenggang scolded: "What else can I do? Of course, I'll write it, and you can review your homework yourself! ”
"Oh." Wu Ruiqing hung his head and ran to flip through his textbook.
After eating, Wu Chenggang carefully read the various settings and outlines left by Kang Jianfei, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that his nephew's imagination was peculiar.
In fact, before the popularization of television, Hong Kong people's biggest pastime besides watching movies was reading novels. It can be said that there are few Hong Kong men before the 80s who are not fans of martial arts.
Wu Chenggang also loved martial arts novels when he was young, and Wu Ruiqing is now so obsessed with novels because he stole his father's novels to read when he was a child.
Wu Chenggang has not only written novels before, but even written screenplays. It's a pity that although his writing is old and spicy, what he writes is not very creative, and the plot is not very attractive, so he gave up writing after many failed submissions.
Now it's different, the novel idea of "Ethereal Journey" is simply a masterpiece of genius in this era. Moreover, Kang Jianfei listed the detailed outline of the previous volumes, and Wu Chenggang wrote it very easily.
wrote until the middle of the night, Wu Chenggang not only finished correcting the tens of thousands of words written by Kang Jianfei, but also wrote more than 10,000 words himself.
The next day was a holiday, and Wu Chenggang slept until more than ten o'clock before getting up. When he was brushing his teeth, Wu Ruiqing said: "Lao Dou, my cousin just called and said that I should send the manuscript to the "Oriental Rì Newspaper" as soon as I finish correcting it, and the manuscript is being urged again this morning." ”
Wu Chenggang asked, "When will the newspaper be called?" ”
Wu Ruiqing said: "It seems that it will be officially serialized on New Year's Day. ”
"Poof!" The toothpaste foam in Wu Chenggang's mouth squirted out, and he said speechlessly, "What is this Ah Fei doing, it's the 30th today, and I will see the newspaper the day after tomorrow." It's only been two days, and he blames others for urging him. ”
Wu Chenggang is a good man, and he is always afraid of embarrassing others. When he heard that the novel would be serialized the day after tomorrow, he was afraid that the newspaper office would be in a hurry, so he quickly finished washing, picked up the manuscript of the novel with more than 60,000 words, and rushed out the door.
After some tossing, I saw Xu Jixin, the editor-in-chief of "Oriental Rì Daily", and directly took out the manuscript and said: "Hello editor-in-chief Xu, I am Kang Jianfei's cousin Wu Chenggang. He couldn't come today because of something he couldn't do, so he asked me to bring him a draft of his new novel. ”
Xu Jixin was waiting for the manuscript anxiously, but when he heard this, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Wu, please sit down, it's difficult to run for you in person, just make a phone call and I'll let someone pick it up." ”
In Wu Chenggang's eyes, the editor-in-chief of "Oriental Rì Daily" is a big man, but he didn't expect the other party to be so polite, he smiled and said: "It's nothing, it just so happens that I have nothing to do today." ”
Wu Chenggang claimed to be Kang Jianfei's cousin, and Xu Jixin didn't dare to slack off. He asked the assistant to make a good pot of tea, and then he couldn't wait to open the manuscript and say, "Sorry, I'll look at the manuscript first." ”
"Please." Wu Chenggang nodded.
Xu Jixin thought the same as Wu Ruiqing, after watching the urban appearance at the beginning, he thought that this was another novel that traveled through time and space. As a result, in a blink of an eye, it was the Martian Fighting Method, and then it was to the Heavenly Court Star that was suspected to be in ancient China, and the so-called fairy legends in ancient China turned out to be on this planet, and they did not go to the so-called fairy world.
Xu Jixin is unheard of in such a novel that integrates modern cities, ancient cities, and cosmic planets, and the more he reads it, the more excited he becomes: "Okay, it's worthy of Mr. Kang, the novel's creativity is unlimited." In particular, the description of this Heavenly Court Star is simply a stroke of genius. ”
Wu Chenggang didn't mention that he ghostwrote it himself, anyway, he won't make money by writing things in the future. He stood up and said, "Since Editor-in-Chief Xu is satisfied, then I'll leave first." ”
Xu Jixin smiled: "Then you go slowly." ”
After sending Wu Chenggang to the staircase, Xu Jixin went straight to Ma Chengkun's office and said excitedly: "General manager, this time Mr. Kang's novel is more colorful than "Xun Qin Ji"!" ”

Uh, I didn't want to code words when I got up today, and then I went to play Civilization 5.
Originally, I played for half an hour, but it turned out to be an afternoon. Students who have played the "Civilization" series must know that it is not a game, it is a time machine. It feels like only half an hour has passed, but in fact, half a day has passed...... (To be continued.) )
