The heavens set sail from the courtyard

Chapter 267 Fiction
A year ago, Wang Gang asked Shao Jingwen to help him contact his old classmates from the Xiangjiang Newspaper, and wanted to publish the Legend of the Condor Heroes. Unexpectedly, it took a year to do so.

In the final analysis, Wang Gang underestimated the current environment, and communication between the two sides of the strait was too troublesome.

Fortunately, everything went well, the contract was successfully negotiated, and both parties were satisfied.

At first, Xiangjiang Wenbao didn't pay much attention to Wang Gang's "Shooting the Condors", and even didn't agree to serialize it.

Because there are no ancient masters or Mr. Jin in this world, the subject matter of martial arts novels is still very new. Although it is not impossible, there are few masterpieces and the subject matter is not popular.

Later, Wang Gang asked them to publish the first [-] words without charging a penny for the manuscript with the attitude of free trial.

The result is a masterpiece of a master, no matter which world it is in, it is a masterpiece, and Shooting the Condors soon became popular in Xiangjiang.

Xiangjiang Wenbao realized the value of shooting eagles, and sent someone to get in touch with Wang Gang, hoping to acquire the copyright of shooting eagles in his hand.

Yes, Xiangjiang Wenbao only wants the copyright, not the rest of the book. They even think that it doesn’t matter who wrote the book. As long as they get the copyright, how to write it later. Xiangjiang has a lot of talents and doesn’t need it at all. Wang Gang.

Of course Wang Gang did not agree, no one knew better than him that the most valuable thing about Shooting Condors is the copyright.

In order to guard against Xiangjiang newspapers, Wang Gang even asked Shao Jingwen's friend to register the copyright in Xiangjiang.

In the end, Xiangjiang Wenbao had no choice but to start negotiations with Wang Gang for half a year before finally finalizing the cooperation agreement.

Wang Gang gave Xiangjiang Wenbao the exclusive serialization rights of Shooting Condors, and Xiangjiang Wenbao paid a thousand characters and ten yuan for the manuscript accordingly.

As for the right to publish, it has always been firmly in Wang Gang's hands.

In Shao Jingwen's contract to Wang Gang, there was an advance payment of [-] characters and a manuscript remuneration of [-] yuan, which was regarded as a deposit. Xiangjiang Wenbao was very good at this point.

The complete book of Heroes of the Condor Heroes is about 100 million words, and the remuneration is ten yuan for a thousand words, all of which is 1 yuan.

If Mr. Jin knew that his masterpiece was sold for 1 yuan in another world, he would be able to come back to life.

Where is the price of cabbage, it is simply a free price.

But Wang Gang couldn't help it. The theme of martial arts in this world is too unpopular. Even if there is a trend of shooting sculptures, Xiangjiang Wenbao will not pay a newcomer too much.

But Wang Gang knows that although 1 yuan is small, it is for Xiangjiang.

In Jichun, 1 yuan can already do a lot of things.

What's more, Shooting the Condors is just Wang Gang's work to test the waters. After the serialization of Xiangjiang Wenbao is completed, the theme of martial arts should become popular.

At that time, the remuneration for his works will no longer be a thousand words and ten yuan.

You must know that Shooting the Condors is a trilogy, and the following God Condors and Yitian are in the same line.

There are also Tianlong, Luding, and even Master Gu's Lu Xiaofeng, the legend of Chu Liuxiang.

Even Huang Zuqiang's Datang, Frontier Desolation, Turning Clouds.

Wang Gang didn't even know when this martial arts wind would last.

"Ms. Shao, this is the Complete Book of Shooting the Condors I wrote. Send it to your classmates when you have time." Wang Gang took out a thick stack of manuscripts and handed them to Shao Jingwen.

"Have you finished?" Shao Jingwen's eyes lit up, and he wiped his clothes with his hands before taking the manuscript.

"I've had nothing to do at home for the past six months, so I wrote all the chapters after Shooting the Condors, and started the second part of Condors of God." Wang Gang said calmly.

"There's a second part." Shao Jingwen's eyes lit up.

Originally, Shao Jingwen didn't really like martial arts novels like Shooting Condors, but he preferred military themes like Bright Sword.

For Wang Gang's rewriting of martial arts, I still hate iron and steel.

But later, Wang Gang wrote more and more about shooting sculptures, and the characters became more and more plump. The simple and honest Guo Jing and the playful Huang Rong appeared vividly on the paper, and Shao Jingwen fell in love with them.

Later, Shao Jingwen became Wang Gang's first crazy fan, and came over to chase him when he was free.

"It's a pity that this kind of subject matter is still too novel for Jichun now, or else I would put my face on it and ask Jiangliao Publishing House to publish it." Shao Jingwen said with a sigh.

"The theme of martial arts is still possible to develop in Xiangjiang. Ji Chun doesn't even think about it, but this gust of wind will blow over sooner or later." Wang Gang said with a smile.

Shao Jingwen pulled himself together and carefully put the manuscript of Shooting Condors in his bag.

"I'll make a copy for you later and send it to Xiangjiang, and I'll keep the original first." Shao Jingwen said.

Wang Gang nodded. In this era, there are no computers and copiers. The original manuscript of the novel must be well preserved. Shao Jingwen's so-called copy is actually a copy with a typewriter. In order to keep it secret, this person can only be himself.

It took Wang Gang half a year to write the 100 million-word novel, and he relied on a typewriter to write it all by himself. It hurts my liver to think about it.

Shao Jingwen never tires of it.

"When will you be able to write the second part, or give me the finished one first, and I will verify it for you."

Wang Gang was speechless: "I just wrote the beginning, and it's not even [-] words. If you want to read it, you have to wait."

Shao Jingwen was a little disappointed, and said: "Then you move quickly."

Wang Gang was speechless again, you can type on a computer, a novel of 100 million words is all written by hand, please show me quickly.

Except for the main line of the story and the names of the characters, his Condor Shooting is all his own creation. It has nothing to do with Mr. Jin, and he can't memorize the original book.

"Then tell me, what is the story of the second part? Could it be that after Guo Jing defended Xiangyang, he returned to the rivers and lakes to fight for justice?" Shao Jingwen asked after Wang Gang like a fan.

"The second part tells the story of Yang Kang and Mu Nianci's son Yang Guo. Although Guo Jing and Huang Rong will appear, they are supporting roles."

Wang Gang roughly told the main line of the story of the divine sculpture, and Shao Jingwen couldn't wait.

"Write it quickly. If it doesn't work, tell me to write it." Shao Jingwen said hastily.

"My teacher Shao! Are you not busy with work? Why do you have time to help me write novels?" Wang Gang said speechlessly.

"Hi!" Shao Jingwen sighed: "Don't mention it, now the magazine is not getting better day by day. The column story you were in charge of was messed up by that Li Wenxin. The president just wanted me to ask you if you want to go back to the magazine. Go to work, prepare and discuss."

After Wang Gang left Golden Land Magazine, the president immediately asked Li Wenxin to use the pseudonym of Fengge to continue writing column stories under Wang Gang's name.

It's a pity that this Li Wenxin is too far from Wang Gang's writing style, and it leaked as soon as he wrote it, and it was spotted by readers.

For this reason, many readers complained to the magazine, and heard that it was very ugly. Since then, the sales volume of Golden Land has not been as good as the previous issue.

"You know the situation in my family. I really can't go back!" Wang Gang said to Shao Jingwen.

"I know, but after all the work of the magazine has an organization, it's better than your submission to Xiangjiang." Shao Jingwen persuaded.

"Ms. Shao, don't talk about it. I have to take care of the elderly and children recently. I don't even have time to write. Why do I go to work?" Wang Gang spread his hands and said.

"Okay, I know I can't persuade you, I'll go back first, you have time to quickly update the sculpture." Shao Jingwen stood up holding the bag, and said.

Wang Gang took the prepared tea leaves to Shao Jingwen, and then exchanged the 500 yuan deposit from Xiangjiang Wenbao.

The 500 yuan can be regarded as his only income at home for more than half a year. When the final payment from Shooting Condor arrives, he doesn't know how long he will have to wait.

In the evening, Wang Gang handed over 500 yuan and the Wenbao contract to Zheng Juan, and she almost cried.

"What's the matter, why are you crying so hard?" Wang Gang said with his wife in one arm and the child in the other.

"I didn't expect that you can make money at home?" Zheng Juan wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Wang Gang knew that Zheng Juan was actually quite anxious because she had been taking care of Li Suhua at home for more than half a year, and the family had no income.

"Didn't I tell you! You have to trust your man, don't worry about making money." Wang Gang said.

"Yes, my man is the best. It doesn't matter if he doesn't go to college. What is it called? Gold shines everywhere." Zheng Juan laughed through tears.

Wang Gang proudly said: "That's right, now that the family has money, don't save too much in the future. We will buy him a big house when the manuscript fee for the newspaper arrives."

Looking at her husband's confident face, Zheng Juan never felt so secure as she did today.

"There are so many houses in the family, what house to buy, 1 yuan is deposited in the bank, and the interest is quite a lot every year." Zheng Juan wrenched her fingers, as if trying to figure out how much interest the 1 yuan would have.

Wang Gang pressed his wife's hand and said: "The photonic house has no water, so it is too inconvenient to live in. I want to buy a house with a separate kitchen and toilet. It is best to have four rooms, one for us and one for my parents." room, one for the children, and the last one as a study."

Listening to Wang Gang's narration, Zheng Juan couldn't help falling into fantasy.

When Qiao Chunyan was promoted to deputy director, the unit was divided into a one-bedroom, but she had an independent toilet and kitchen, so she was envious.

Zheng Juan couldn't imagine what a house with four bedrooms would be like.
