What kind of book "Qi Xia Jing Zhong Zhuan" is, Chen Muwu has not read it.
He had only heard a little bit about the author of this book, Zhao Huanting.
But when he saw this name, Chen Muwu thought of Xiang Kairan, who together with Zhao Huanting became the "South to North Zhao" in the martial arts novel world, that is, he was bored on the Jinpu Line train and read "Red Magazine". The author of "The Legend of Jianghu" is Pingjiang Buxiaosheng.
Thinking of Pingjiang's unfavorable life, Chen Muwu thought of his royalties of ten silver yuan for a thousand words.
This is really mouth-watering!
Even if we don’t take into account the purchasing power issue between Dayang and Ruanmei coins, even if future generations write online novels at the starting point, if they want to get ten yuan per thousand words, they will still need the subscriptions of at least four to five hundred readers. This is a huge deal. For the author, this is actually quite a challenge.
But now is not the era of involution where all the subjects of online articles have been written. Martial arts novels have just begun to establish themselves. If Xiang Kairan can make so much money, naturally I, Chen Muwu, can do the same!
"Shooting the White Deer in the Flying Snow", if you choose any book from it, wouldn't you be able to casually criticize the ancient martial arts that still have a strong flavor of public case novels?
The traveler benefit called "Educated Knowledge" that comes with the time traveler can not only be used for copying papers, but it can also be used for copying novels!
Copying martial arts novels is basically the standard among time-travelers who came to this time period. Although Chen Muwu was not a Jin Yong fan in his previous life, he still read the most classic novel in the library when he was tired from doing questions. "Heavenly Shooting God Reliance" tetralogy.
I have finished copying these four books. If you are still short of money, don’t be afraid. Although Chen Muwu has read few martial arts novels, he has read many mystery novels, such as "The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty" and "Detective Di Renjie". If they are packaged a little, they will be the same. Has he suddenly transformed into a public case martial arts warrior named Li Yuanfang who protects Di Renjie?
"Three Heroes and Five Righteousness" and "Shi Gongan" are the favorites of ordinary people!
He just did what he said. He called the parking man and bought a stack of manuscript paper from a stationery stall on the roadside. He planned to write tens of thousands of words when he got home today.
Some people may say that those online writers who rack up their bile and hold back their constipation every day can only manage to write more than 4,000 words while working full time. Why does Chen Muwu, who has never written a book, think that he can easily get by on his own? What about Wan?
His situation is naturally different from that of the author of an online article.
Not to mention detailed outlines, some of the authors of the novel have not even prepared an outline of the general direction of the plot.
They sit in front of the computer every day, arranging the LCD screen like Wang Yangming arranging bamboos, typing one or two hundred words of Zen with two fingers, then sliding the mouse to switch to other applications, scrolling through Longkong in Shuishui Tieba, and looking at Weibo. What’s new is Douyu Huya’s live broadcast, and he even started the game himself if his hands were itchy.
When you get tired of playing on the computer, you switch to your mobile phone, click on Douyin, and either watch the ladies shaking their breasts, twisting their hips and exposing their thighs, or watching those film and television clips that say "Look, this man's name is Xiao Ming" .
After I played with my phone until it ran out of battery, I remembered that I still had more than 3,000 words to write, so I turned on the dormant computer again and repeated the previous state over and over again.
For Chen Muwu, not to mention the outline and details of the novel, he has all the printed books in his brain. All he has to do is to copy the contents of the book like a naughty student who was punished by the primary school teacher to copy the textbook. The content is copied word for word onto the manuscript paper.
Chen Muwu returned to his residence in Dong Banqiao. After hiding the three scrolls, he immediately came to the table with the manuscript paper, unscrewed the cap of the pen, and wrote: "The vastness of the Qiantang River, endless day and night." Xiude bypasses Niujia Village in Lin'an and flows eastward into the sea. There are dozens of black cypress trees lined up along the river, with leaves as red as fire. It is August. The weeds in front of and behind the village have just begun to turn yellow, and a touch of the setting sun Under the reflection, it becomes even more desolate.…”
The reason why it is "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and not "The Eight Parts of the Dragon" that is ranked first in historical order is because this is the order in which Jin Yong wrote it.
A person's writing skills always become more mature the more he writes. Chen Muwu didn't want to take out the masterpiece "Dragon and the Eight Parts" first, and then be told by others that the more he wrote, the worse he became.
"Yawn..." Chen Muwu put down the pen in his hand and stretched.
He counted the amount of manuscript paper he had used up, and then multiplied it by the number of words per page. A rough calculation showed that he had written a total of more than 8,000 words since he returned home and continued writing until it was time to turn on the lamp. Nearly one-third complete.
The reason why he didn't reach the 10,000 words written per day in Haikou that he had just boasted about was not because Chen Muwu was exhausted of his talents and had poor eyesight and poor skills, but because the writing speed of his right hand could not keep up with his brain.
Although the pen in his hand is a high-end imported product bought at the Baihai Yong'an Department Store, he must use force every stroke when writing to keep the handwriting clear, just like Zhang Cuishan carving on the cliffs of Yupan Mountain.
Chen Muwu no longer desires a computer with Lenovo input. He doesn't even have a ballpoint pen that can write smoothly and effortlessly.
The rolling friction force is smaller than the sliding friction force. Physics can't be fooled!
As for why he doesn't use a writing brush, it is true that Chen Muwu was forced by his family to practice Ou Kai script for several years since he was a child, so he can understand all kinds of newspapers and magazines in traditional Chinese and vertical format.
But he had been practicing calligraphy since he was a child, and each word was written on a five-centimeter square grid. He had never written in small regular script.
According to his old man's writing style, he probably wouldn't be able to write dozens of words on one page. After copying the first chapter of "Eternal Heaven and Sword of the Dragon", he would need to write thousands of words on bare manuscript paper.
Now there is a Chinese typewriter. Four years ago, Shu Zhendong, an engineer at the Commercial Press, had developed the Shu style Chinese typewriter named after his surname.
But the shape of this typewriter is not like a keyboard like a Remington, but more like a typesetting type, where thousands of commonly used Chinese characters are placed on the same type plate.
If you want to type a character, you don't just hit the keyboard a few times. Instead, you have to find the Chinese character from the character plate according to the character list, then use a tool to pick it out, put it on the connecting rod, and hit the key to hit the paper. superior.
It takes a skilled worker to type one word on a Shu typewriter, which is enough for an ordinary person to write a line!
No wonder there are always a group of people clamoring to abolish pictographic Chinese characters and romanize Chinese characters. This is really because in the era of typewriters, inputting Chinese characters has become too inconvenient!
Chen Muwu now only hopes that Lin Yutang, who is studying abroad on the other side of the ocean, will return to China as soon as possible, realize the inconvenience of inputting Chinese characters, and then come up with the idea of designing and manufacturing a bright Chinese typewriter. Chen Muwu will be the first to invest!
