After choosing to be a copyist, Cao Zhiqiang suddenly found that he didn't know much about the cultural industry in this era, especially about various platforms.

After all, this is not the Internet era, you can't code a word on the Internet, and then find a website to publish it.

So his method is very simple, that is, to go to the post office first, specifically to find well-known magazines with large sales and good reputation.

Looking for a magazine of a well-known magazine to submit, it must be no different.

Having established this principle, he quickly selected several magazines and recorded the address of the magazine's submission.

Next, it's time to actually write the essay.

At the beginning, he relied on the huge knowledge reserve of his previous life, honestly recalled the various romance and science fiction short stories he had read in his previous life, and then wrote them down with his memories, and then submitted them to various well-known magazines he selected.

However, since it is impossible for him to remember all the specific content of the works he has read in his previous life, he plagiarizes the plots, ideas, and characters of the novels in his previous life, and then recreates them through his own polishing pen.

Therefore, strictly speaking, the works he submitted to major magazines in the early days cannot be regarded as plagiarism, but can only be regarded as in-depth reference.

I have to say that Cao Zhiqiang really encountered a good time, and it can be said that his road to copying is really at the right time.

At this time, there was a lack of entertainment in China, and the reform had just begun, and it had been suppressed for more than ten years, and many people's thirst for literary works became vigorous.

What kind of reflective literature, scar literature, and all kinds of messy obscene literature and small yellow literature, are everywhere, and those text censorship and publication supervision and the like are almost equal to nothing, and they are completely useless.

Unless your work is too explicit and indecent, and someone reports it, or there is an order to sweep it up, no one cares about you.

Therefore, in the early 80s, because the domestic cultural industry was still in the early stage of reform, there was a lack of real supervision, and various trends of thought were rampant, which was the spring of literary creation and the era of chaotic wars that grew arbitrarily.

In this case, it is easy to produce poisonous weeds and famous people.

For example, the one who later won the Nobel Prize in Literature basically had a high production period during this period.

There is also the guy who won the Nobel Prize in Literature earlier, but because he became a French-Chinese because he entered France early, his award-winning works were also created in the early eighties.

The reason is very simple, this is the same reason that it was easy to become famous in the Warring States period.

In the future, when supervision is strengthened and control is strict, there will be fewer such people.

In fact, at the beginning, Cao Zhiqiang blossomed more, mainly with sensational bosom friends and shocking short stories.

After all, there are many similar works in my previous life, and I am more impressed, and I remember it clearly.

He has contributed to various well-known magazines.

For example, Reader's Digest, Story Meeting, Science Illustrated, Science Literature and Art, etc., he has written a lot of corresponding manuscripts to submit.

Those magazines basically accepted his manuscripts, and basically gave him a different amount of manuscript fees.

However, he later found that this form of writing short stories and popular science articles in various magazines still makes too little money, and if he continues like this, I am afraid that it will not be long before he will run out of talent.

After all, he is not a real writer, just a copyist.

The manuscripts he submitted before were some well-known short stories that he had memorized by chance in his previous life, but the number was not many, and most of his memories were relatively vague, and his knowledge reserve was very limited.

Then one day, when he went to the nearby Xinhua Bookstore to find inspiration and observe the market popularity, he found that many people were queuing up to buy "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

That guy, the queue is long.

That's it, the key is that the set of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" they snapped up is not cheap, just two volumes, and it costs 40 yuan!

Forty dollars for two books, which is more expensive than his monthly salary.

But even so, everyone had to queue up to buy it, and it was quickly sold out, and it was too late to buy.

This scene, compared to the popular period of Apple mobile phones in later generations, those who queued up to buy Apple mobile phones in the early morning were not far behind.

Seeing this, he gasped and finally thought of writing martial arts novels.

Nothing else, but if you want to talk about martial arts novels, he remembers a lot, at least the storyline and characters are impressive, and he won't be mistaken.

Martial arts novels have not yet flooded the country at this time, and belong to the ascendant period.

As long as the content is not politically or pornographic, martial arts novels are relatively safe, and as long as they are written passably, they can be sold.

Also, martial arts novels are known as fairy tales for adults.

In an era when entertainment was still scarce, martial arts novels were very enjoyable.

Especially young people, they are quite popular with martial arts novels, and they are quite hardcore.

Authors of new-school martial arts novels like Jin Guliang are now simply popular all over the country, and everyone knows about it.

There are also many martial arts novels written by others like Wolongsheng and Zhuge Qingyun, and the market is also very wide.

That is to say, at this time, ordinary people love to read these martial arts novels, which can be called the best era of martial arts novels.

Also, martial arts novels can be published, and publishing books depends on sales, the higher the sales, the higher your income.

More importantly, at this time, the domestic printing houses did not let go, they were basically state-owned and collective, and they basically ate big pot rice, and there was no such thing as self-financing.

Therefore, today, with the exception of a very small number of shameless collective printing houses in the south, and some even more shameless printing houses in township enterprises with small printing presses, most regular printing houses basically do not engage in piracy.

Later, especially in the nineties, when the printing houses were self-financed, then piracy was rampant.

So in the early eighties, it was really the spring of the original writers of literature.

At this time, if you have a book that is popular, sell it for fifty or sixty thousand or even hundreds of thousands, and become a god with a book, buy a car and a house, and earn enough money for a lifetime, it is not an exaggeration at all.

Hey, it seems that the future generations will be the same?

In short, after understanding this situation, he Cao Zhiqiang also wanted to rub off on a wave of heat.

Just when Cao Zhiqiang hadn't figured out which famous novel he wanted to plagiarize and adapt later.

Early the next morning, he suddenly checked in and drew something unexpected.

"Selected 300 Modern Martial Arts Novels"!

As the name suggests, it is 300 classic modern martial arts novels, including Jin Guliang's works.

Well, since there are complete ready-made works of others, then no, of course, I chose to copy them.

So he chose and chosen, and finally decided to copy Huang Yi's "Broken Void" first.

This novel is only more than 200,000 words, which is not a lot of words, but the plot is compact, majestic, and the imagination is particularly rich.

Especially the concept of shattering the void and sublimating the Tao, it simply broke the ceiling of the original martial arts.

He believes that as long as everyone reads the Shattered Void and then reads other martial arts novels, it will be like chewing wax.

There is no way, the boundaries of thinking have been broadened, and the threshold of happiness has been raised.

After all, in this period, most martial arts novels still stay on the routine of jumping off a cliff or jumping into the sea to get an adventure, and opening up the second vein of Ren and Du is often the ceiling of force.

How does this compare with "Broken Void" with half a foot in the fantasy?

It's a pity that in this era, he can't afford a personal computer, no keyboard codewords, and no reliable Chinese character input method, he can only write by hand.

In addition, he still has to go to work in the factory, and he has to be sent to the workers, this and that is a bunch of, and his writing speed is not fast at all.

Generally speaking, at the beginning, he was more than 3,000 words a day, and then the speed became faster, that is, more than 5,000 words a day, and on average, more than 4,000 words a day.

No more, your hands will be sore.

It made him miss the days when he typed on the computer keyboard.

If he typed on the keyboard, he would be able to give his liver an average of 40,000 words a day, and in less than a week, he would be able to finish copying a "Broken Void".

It's like now, with an average of more than 4,000 words a day, and his writing is extremely sore.

Alas, what year and month can restore the life of the tentacle monster.

Keyboard, I miss you!

In short, after nearly two months of hard work in handwriting and with a ballpoint pen, the book of more than 200,000 words of "Broken Void" was finally copied.

Then he found out that the book had been copied, but he didn't know how to publish it.

In other words, I don't know which platform to find to publish.
