Chapter 151: Meeting with Jin Yong
In the morning, the morning sun shone, Li Saifeng opened her eyes and felt something on her cheek. After seeing it clearly, she realized that it was Wen Bixia's white and tender feet. She moved and pulled out the pressed hand from under Li Lizhen's chest. She felt that her hands were numb. Looking back on yesterday's situation, she couldn't help but blush. When she realized that Du Qi had already gotten up, she breathed a little relieved.
They stood up and sat up slightly. This action woke up Guan Zhilin next to them. Then Wen Bixia and Li Lizhen were also awakened one after another and sat up from the bed. Although the four girls were not wearing clothes, they didn't feel cold because they had already entered early summer. They looked at each other and their faces turned red.
When the four girls looked around, they could see the clothes scattered everywhere. They all wanted to get up and pick them up, but because they were quite scattered, they were having a lot of fun again.
“This skirt is mine.”
"Axia, that's my fierce concealment!"
"Whose little Nene is this..."
After a while, the four girls picked up their clothes and barely put them on, but they were in a very embarrassing way. They simply had no one else in the villa except the maid who was responsible for cleaning and cooking, and ran back to the villa's own room to find clothes to wear again.
After several girls packed up again and ate together in the dining room, maybe it should be considered lunch for breakfast. Guan Zhilin asked, "Why haven't Brother Qi come back yet?"
"Didn't he say yesterday that he wants to go to business and may not come back at noon. He has never seen him when he wakes up early in the morning."
Wen Bixia said directly: "It must have been that I woke up early. I woke up so early. I felt that my body was still soft now."
After hearing what Wen Bixia said, Guan Zhilin and the other three didn't say anything, but they felt that Du Qi's energy was really too good. The four of them had not recovered this morning. No wonder when they were alone, no one was his opponent.
Du Qi, who was talked about by several girls at this time, was in the office of Jin Yong of Mingpao Group. The two chatted very well. Du Qi was once a fan of Mr. Jin's book in his previous life. He had read Jin's martial arts novels several times. Now he still remembers them clearly. When the two talked about literary creation, Du Qi said: "Mr. Cha, it has been at least thirty years since the establishment of the new martial arts novels. Many elements have been reused. What are the 'martial arts secrets', 'national hatred and family hatred', and 'shocking conspiracy', readers have also become bored. So in order to regain the interest of readers, I think martial arts novels must be innovative."
Nowadays, martial arts novel serialization is very popular, and readers also like to read martial arts novels. Many people think it is still in the golden period. Duqi said that it is facing difficulties, and many people can't help but think Duqi is exaggerating, but Jin Yong was stunned.
In fact, some knowledgeable people have seen this situation. In recent years, martial arts novels have begun to decline. Jin Yong did not expect Du Qi, a Chinese American, to see it.
Because there are many Hong Kong newspaper reports about Duqi writing books in the United States, some people have read his "Song of Ice and Fire". Jin Yong has read the reports before and was curious. He found that Duqi's writings are very consistent with the reading taste of Westerners and are completely Westernized works.
Originally, Jin Yong thought Du Qi was not very knowledgeable about domestic literature, but he did not expect that Du Qi came to visit today and showed his profound attainments in Chinese studies. His reading range was very wide. The two of them chatted and quoted many ancient allusions, but Du Qi did not show any timidity, which was amazing.
Because of this, Du Qi said that martial arts novels have gone downhill. Jin Yong believes that he is not simply exaggerating to attract his own attention, but that he really has his own opinions.
Therefore, Jin Yong said, "I have noticed what you said, so what good way do you have?"
Du Qi did not immediately tell this method, but said: "I came to find Mr. Cha this time. In addition to being your book fan and wanting to ask you for advice, I also want to run a magazine in Hong Kong, which specializes in serializing popular novels, and want to get your support from Mr. Cha."
Jin Yong was stunned and asked, "What are you going to do?"
"Mr. Cha, please look at the detailed outline of the three novels I wrote." Du Qi took out a stack of documents from the file package he brought and handed them to Jin Yong.
After taking Du Qi's document, Jin Yong started to read it. The first one listed above was the name "Kunlun Prequel: Iron Blooded Genre". He was stunned. Could it be that Du Qi has also started writing novels? So what new ideas can he write?
"Iron Blooded Genre" is a very good martial arts novel that Du Qi saw in his previous life, and the subsequent "Kunlun", which is the outline of the first novel that Du Qi put on.
As for the next two books, one is the outline of "The Ming Yue of Qin", and the other is "Sou Shen Ji".
"Kunlun" is considered a new martial arts, but the story is different from traditional martial arts novels. It is to try to write some knowledge that was not highly valued in ancient China, such as mathematics, business, music, and all the orthodox miscellaneous studies, because the modernity of these knowledge is stronger and more interesting than the teachings of Confucius and Mencius.
In addition, the outline of "The Mingyue of Qin" comes with a large number of novel settings, including the Mohist mechanism, the forbidden secret techniques of the Guigu School, the Yin-Yang School's spells, formations, etc., and various fantasy elements are different, completely beyond the rut of martial arts novels.
Mechanisms, secret techniques, spells, and formations were not rare at first, and can be seen in many martial arts novels. However, Du Qi re-set them, making their power greatly increase, completely surpassing the constraints of reality, and almost reaching the realm of immortals and monsters. In this way, the barriers of martial arts novels are broken.
As for "Su Shen Ji", it is a completely fantasy novel, including rare birds and beasts, magical magic, and the dreamy ancient mythical world of love, hate and love, telling the wilderness era where Yan Emperor and Huang Emperor were. It was the time when the heroes competed for the Central Plains. Shennong, Huang Emperor, Qiao Chiyou, Queen Mother of the West, Kuafu, Xing Tian, Zhurong, Chi Songzi... All the legendary mythical characters appeared, not only heroes, demon beasts, strange arts, but also very detailed descriptions of family affection, friendship, love and magnificent battle scenes.
Jin Yong read it very carefully and did not even feel the passage of time. It was not until more than two hours later that he put down the documents in his hand and sighed: "Aqi, your three novels have progressed layer by layer and have completely separated from the new martial arts novels, which is somewhat similar to the "Legend of the Swordsman of Shushan" written by the owner of Huanzhu Lou during the Republic of China."
"The Legend of the Swordsman in Shushan" written by the owner of Huanzhu Lou is a fairy tale novel with a strange theme. It has a unique conception and is all-encompassing. It was once very popular back then. Even Jin Yong absorbed a lot of nutrition when he created the novel.
This is a field that even Jin Yong has never tried, and he has a strong premonition that if Du Qi really wrote these three novels, it might change the current pattern of new-story martial arts novels. The previous "Kunlun" and prequel, writing style and creativity can open up a new way for the beginning of stretched martial arts novels.
Then I heard Du Qi talk about it: "Mr. Cha, I think that in addition to innovation in writing techniques, the subject matter should also be expanded. The first "Kunlun" is an innovation in content, and the next "Qin Shi Ming Yue" and "Soushen Ji" are an expansion in theme. The biggest limitation of martial arts novels is "manpower is sometimes poor". Even if the protagonist has the ability, he cannot fight against the army. Although this setting is close to reality, it also frames the imagination space of the author and readers. Therefore, the next creation can completely break this limitation and allow the protagonist to have stronger power, not only enemies of thousands of people, but also enemies of thousands of people, but even communicate with gods and Buddhas in the sky."
