Rebirth of Hong Kong Island: I am a world tycoon

"Brother Gu, the development of martial arts novels has reached its peak now, especially the martial arts era created by you and Mr. Jin Yong, Liang Xisheng and many other martial arts masters, I think that the era after basically can no longer appear today's martial arts prosperity, as the so-called prosperity must decline, and so on in the eighties and nineties, I boldly guess that martial arts novels must gradually decline. Chen Zhixue said.

"Zhixue, do you think martial arts novels will be eliminated in the future?" asked Gu Yan curiously.

"No, I don't think martial arts novels will be eliminated, but will evolve to a higher level of setting, just like some new martial arts works at present, influenced by "Xun Qin Ji", the force value in the book will be higher and higher, and the world view will be bigger and bigger.

Chen Zhixue took a sip of tea and continued: "I can't guess what style martial arts novels can evolve into in the end, but I'm sure there is another style, I don't know if Brother Gu has read "The Legend of Shushan Swordsman" by the lord of Huanzhu Mansion?".

"Of course, I've seen this work a long time ago, and it has had a big impact on me. Gu Hui nodded, martial arts novels have been written so far, in fact, he has already felt the bottleneck, and it is difficult to make a breakthrough, but Gu Hui is a writer who likes innovation very much, which makes him feel very tormented, if it is not for the need for money, maybe he will calm down and try to explore new innovative works.

"Have you ever thought that the combination of martial arts and mythology, just like "The Legend of Shushan Swordsman", Hongda's world view, the immortals, spells, monsters, etc. that appear in mythology, the unbridled imagination can make readers see it vividly when reading the book, so that it can evolve into another style, when the chivalry of martial arts novels is integrated into the myths, ideas and culture of Taoism, interpretation, and Confucianism in China, it will be a more exaggerated style, which I call Xianxia novels. Chen Zhixue stopped when he said this.

According to the history of the development of online novels in later generations, it was from the 90s to the beginning of the 21st century that a large number of works of various styles and classifications appeared, but at that time, the online literature was fast-paced and cool, but the literary value was getting lower and lower.

"Zhixue, I really listened to your words, it was like seeing the sun through the clouds, and I didn't come in vain this time, haha!" Gu laughed heartily, and his mind was already thinking about the next new book.

"Brother Gu, I don't know if you have signed a contract with other companies now?" asked Chen Zhixue.

"I have to write several novels a year, so basically the publisher asks me to write a manuscript, whichever price is high, I will publish it to whomever I want, I only sign books and not people, money is a good thing, it can be exchanged for good wine and women. Gu Yan sighed and said.

"Speaking of which, I should have given a lot of ideas tonight, Brother Gu should have helped Brother Gu write a novel for Genesis Media Company, in terms of manuscript fees, it is twice as high as your last novel, how about it?" Chen Zhixue spoke very directly, directly invited the manuscript to Gu Hui, he understood Gu Hui's character, liked to make friends, and did not like to owe favors.

"In fact, for me, the manuscript fee is used to squander pleasure, and I don't know how much I have accumulated over the years.

"To be honest, I know that I don't have enough money to squander, but I can't afford to squander it, so I have to keep creating every year to maintain my enjoyment.

"I have lived on the island side of the island, and occasionally come to Hong Kong Island, although there is a fixed house here, and my family has moved to the island side of the island, so I basically write novels for the booksellers on the island, and occasionally accept invitations from the island side.

"I came to Hong Kong Island this time because I was invited by Reader's Digest to be a judge of the essay contest, so I came to live on Hong Kong Island from Treasure Island for a while, and when I return to Treasure Island, I should also write a new book."

"Since I have received a lot of inspiration from you, I owe you a favor, and the next new book will be submitted to you Genesis Media Company, which can be regarded as a favor to you."

Gu Lian directly agreed, but it was obvious that for the time being, he would only write a book for Genesis Media Company.

"Speaking of which, the fantasy novels or fairy tales I am talking about have grand backgrounds, so short stories can't write a qualified world at all, and I hope that Big Brother Gu can create a long masterpiece that is different from the current martial arts novels. Chen Zhixue said with a smile, since he agreed to the invitation, then it will be fine, a fairy tale novel or fantasy novel, at least one or two million words or more, according to the writing speed, how can it take more than a year or two.

The reason why Chen Zhixue paid attention to Gu Hui was actually to use the influence of Gu Hui to bring more writers to the Creation Media Company, as for signing a novel by Gu Hui, Chen Zhixue actually didn't care very much, and he could make a novel at will, and it would become popular.

But the creation of the media company can not rely on themselves, Chen Zhixue still has a lot of things to do, so the company's dependence must be removed, so it is particularly important to develop more new writers, to invite manuscripts, just like those new websites of online novels in later generations, using high prices to bring in a few online writers, there will be a large number of online writers to follow, this is the celebrity effect.

Of course, Chen Zhixue also knows that in fact, Gu Lian is not very reliable.

In recent years, because novels have become more and more popular, they have long become a cash cow in the eyes of some people, and many works have no energy to write halfway through writing.

When someone else gives more manuscript fees, and is going to write another book, what should I do with the last unfinished novel at this time?

Then I can only find someone to write it, and it is common for Gu Hui to procrastinate for a long time and find someone to ghostwrite, providing the outline and general outline for the ghostwriter, and continuing to create new works by himself, so why Gu Hui is so prolific, this is the reason.

"I'm tired of writing these martial arts works over the years, now that I have new ideas, I also plan to seriously write a new style novel in the real sense, don't worry, I will definitely not find someone to ghostwrite this novel, and I will inform you when I conceive it. Gu Yu seemed to see Chen Zhixue's careful thoughts, and said with a laugh.

Speaking of ghostwriting, Chen Zhixue also has a new idea, he has so many novel themes in his head, he can also make some outlines, beginnings, and then find someone with good writing to ghostwrite for himself, so that he no longer needs code words, a big boss, every day to write novels non-stop, which decent!

Thinking of this, Chen Zhixue smiled, this idea is good, in this era, there are many ghostwriters with good writing, looking for them to ghostwrite, I want to write the work will not be bad.
