Back to 80: My Literary Life

After her husband finished speaking, Song Tangtang suddenly jumped on him, held his head with both hands, and rubbed his hair vigorously, "Minghua, what is in your head? You have come up with weird things?"

"Don't touch a man's head and a woman's waist!"

"Ouch. Be careful if I press on your belly!"

The couple played around for a while, and Fang Minghua sat down with his wife in his arms: "Okay, let's stop fussing. Wouldn't it be more interesting to divide the stages based on the force value alone?"

"Well, it's quite novel. So, if Guo Jing were to be in your book, what rank would he be in?" Song Tangtang suddenly winked playfully.

"This?" Fang Minghua pondered for a moment before saying: He can only be regarded as a second-grade minor grandmaster, right? "

"Why is such a powerful character not even considered a first-class character in your novel?"

"So, I call the martial arts world created by Jin Yong the low martial arts world, and mine can be called the middle martial arts world. There is no analogy."

"Is there still a world of high martial arts?"

"Of course. For example, blowing up a planet with one punch can be called the world of Gaowu." Fang Minghua answered seriously, but Song Tangtang bent over with laughter after hearing this.

"Destroying the planet with one punch? Are they still human? Who would like to read such bragging novels?"

hey-hey.

There will be many people who will like to see it in future generations.

But Fang Minghua didn't say this.

After returning home, of course he had to go back to visit his parents. He also sat at the house of his father-in-law and mother-in-law for a while. After dinner in the evening, he drove home and walked with his wife for a while. Fang Minghua went home to his study and began to prepare to write this novel.

To be honest, there is still a certain gap between this novel by Later Fenghuo and Jin Yong's, but he is better in creating a martial arts power system that was not available in this era and in creating a world of temples and rivers and lakes.

Just like the Xiangjiang martial arts film, from the fist to the physical, the iron bridge horse step to the smooth, elegant and elegant fighting scenes filmed by Tsui Hark at the end, the latter is just a pleasure to watch.

Therefore, it is necessary to highlight the characteristics of this Chinese martial arts world.

In addition, there are also some problems with the technical structure of the original work "Swordsman in the Snow".

There is so much the author wants to write about.

You can't forget the tension in the marketplace, but you also have to write about the corpses on the battlefield at Hulukou and Baopingkou. You have to write about the intrigues in the temple and the gains and losses of a city and a place. You have to write about To write about the growth and changes of the Prince of Northern Liang, you also need to write about the childhood sweethearts in the East, West and South. You have to write about the confrontation between heaven and man as well as the disputes between Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism. You want to write too much, the word count is as high as 4 million words, and there is a suspicion that it will be unfinished later. .

If these things are properly discarded, the first half is about the world, and the story is about the world, and the second half is about the battlefield and world events, and all the layout is well laid out.

Whether it is the arena of the market at the beginning or the arena of the heroes, remove irrelevant things in a certain part. If it is not necessary, do not change the perspective or show another branch, and the viewing experience will be much better.

Moreover, the word count can be greatly reduced, and 2 million is enough.

Let’s start over with the outline.

Fang Minghua read the book "In the Snow" several times before coming to this era in the future, and also watched the online drama. I can still remember the general storyline and some very exciting passages, like the paragraph about confronting Huang Ying in Xiangjiang. .

enough.

It is not necessary to copy the words and sentences of the butler exactly, and it is impossible to remember them.

It has been six years since he came to this era. He has read many classics and written many things. He is still very confident in his writing skills when writing a book he has read before.

What is needed now is to write a good outline and streamline the original text.

Fang Minghua has been busy with this recently, writing more than 10,000 words in outline and details alone.

Fortunately, I have the Great Wall 100 computer given to me by the Japanese, so typing on the keyboard is not difficult.

"Minghua, don't stay up late, go to bed early."

Song Tangtang took a peeled apple into the study room. It was already past 11 o'clock in the evening, and Fang Minghua was sitting in front of the computer, still coding frantically.

Fang Minghua took the apple handed to him by his wife, took a bite and said, "You go to bed first, I'll come back later."

Looking at the dense Chinese characters on the screen, Song Tangtang smiled and said: "Why do I feel that you are more motivated to write martial arts than you were to write the award-winning "Crossing Guandong"."

"Peach plums spring breeze, a glass of wine, rivers and lakes, night rain, ten years of light." Fang Minghua recited a poem by Huang Tingjian, looking at his wife: "Every man has a dream of rivers and lakes in his heart. In reality, he cannot travel to the end of the world with a sword, so he will realize it in the novel. Here you go."

Song Tangtang smiled after hearing this and said nothing more. He poured another cup of herbal tea for Fang Minghua and then gently closed the door for him.

Fang Minghua coded like crazy, and it took only half a month to complete the content of 100,000 words. It was printed out in a thick package on both sides, and Fang Minghua immediately went to the post office and mailed it.

Luo Bin from Xiangjiang is looking forward to it.

Just last week, his old rival, "Martial Arts and History", a magazine owned by "Ming Pao", launched Wen Rui'an's latest martial arts novel "The First Part of the "Speaking of Heroes: Who is the Hero Series: Gentle Knife".

The novel tells the story of Wang Xiaoshi, who is inexperienced in the world, and he meets Bai Choufei, who has similar interests and wants to go to Beijing to conquer the world together. The two men, each with their own martial arts skills, go to Beijing together with the daughter of "King of Luoyang" Wen Wan, Wen Wenwen.

"The so-called true nature of a hero is that it is only when darkness comes that he draws a bright and brilliant light from the sky. Only in the dead color can he activate his vitality. Therefore, if there is no desperate situation, there will be no heroes; there will be no heroes without mortals. It’s just as impossible to exist.”

Wen Ruian wrote such a story.

The novel is only the first 10,000 words of the serialization, and it immediately set off a craze among readers. This issue of "Martial Arts and History" magazine was sold out.

Luo Bin was anxious.

In the office of Universal Publishing House in Sheung Wan New Street, Hong Kong, he picked up the phone on his desk and called Zheng Zheng, the editor-in-chief of "Martial Arts World".

"Old Zheng, have you sent Mr. Zhang's novel?"

"Not yet, I'll call to urge you."

"Okay, tell him to hurry up."

Luo Bin put down the phone, leaned back on the boss's chair and sighed deeply.

The Mr. Zhang he is talking about is Taiwanese martial arts writer Zhuge Qingyun, whose real name is Zhang Jianxin. He is one of the "Four Heavenly Kings" and "Three Musketeers" of Taiwanese martial arts. He is currently writing a new work "Wanli Jianghu".

In fact, he didn't need to push him at all. Among the famous martial arts novelists in Taiwan, Zhuge Qingyun was the most ethical and never advanced the manuscript fee, let alone delayed the manuscript.

They are all old friends, and Luo Bin would not easily call him to urge him to write a manuscript.

He was really anxious this time.

When it was almost time to get off work, the office door was knocked open, and Zheng Zheng walked in hurriedly, holding a large pile of manuscripts in his hand.

"Did Mr. Zhang send me the manuscript?" Luo Bin suddenly became excited.

"It's not Mr. Zhang, it's Mr. Fang from the mainland." Zheng Zheng looked a little strange and handed the manuscript to Luo Bin.

It's "Swordsmanship in the Snow"!
