Jin Yong suddenly became interested. He had nothing to do anyway, so he smiled and said, "Where is the manuscript? Show me."
How could Ding Peng miss such a good opportunity.
He hurriedly came to the front desk and said to the young lady, "Do you have a pen and paper? Lend me some."
The lady was stunned.
Why do you want pen and paper?
Could it be that this gentleman did not bring a manuscript, so he wanted to write it here?
This is too exaggerated.
This is the first time I have seen such a sloppy novelist.
"A talented person has a lot of quirks."
The young lady took a stack of white paper and a pen and handed it to Ding Peng.
In this era, most people use pens or ballpoint pens, rather than water-based pens like the later generations.
"Mr. Jin Yong, please give me 10 minutes, and I will write to you right away."
After speaking, Ding Peng picked up a piece of white paper and wrote it down at the front desk.
The opening three words are "Looking for Qin Ji".
Yes, the novel that Ding Peng is going to write is the first domestic martial arts novel that traveled through history, "The Search for Qin", which was published in 93.
Back then, when he was in high school, he had already ripped through this book, and now, he still remembers the plot clearly.
Brush brush brush, Ding Peng wrote very quickly.
Because the original book is too erotic, it is impossible for him to copy the original book.
If nothing else, Mr. Jin Yong would not agree to publish it.
So, he omitted some foreplay and directly wrote that the protagonist Xiang Shaolong was a Hong Kong special forces soldier. By chance, he traveled through the time machine and came to the Qin Dynasty. He first met Sang Niang, and then with his superb fighting skills, he defeated the villain. Famous in the countryside, appreciated by the owner of Wujiabao Fortress, he came to the capital of Zhao State, dealt with the powerful and powerful of Zhao State, and met Mrs. Zhao Yaya...
Writing and writing, Ding Peng was completely immersed in the plot. After writing one, he put it aside and continued to write another.
Mr. Jin Yong picked up the written paper and glanced at it casually. Immediately, he was deeply attracted by the novel and twisted plot inside.
Looking at it, Jin Yong couldn't help but slap his thigh and shouted: "Okay, it's really well written, the perfect combination of history and fiction, not only writing about the various embarrassments encountered by modern people crossing the Qin Dynasty, but also showing that The unique customs and customs of the era, it seems that you have a lot of research on the history of the Qin Dynasty."
As we all know, Mr. Jin Yong likes to study history books the most, and he has a very detailed and thorough understanding of the facts of the past dynasties.
Others heard Jin Yong's repeated applause, and couldn't help but come over. After a general look, they also felt that the plot was refreshing, very novel, and praised again and again.
As a casual novel, the most important thing is novelty and innovation.
What is written is all familiar things, and readers will be aesthetically fatigued after reading it, and feel that it is meaningless.
After reading several sheets in a row, Mr. Jin Yong tapped Ding Peng on the shoulder and said, "No need to write, your novel has already been drafted!"
The draft is over, that is to say, he accepts it.
"Come on, let's go upstairs and talk about the price in detail."
Originally, Mr. Jin Yong had an appointment with a group of editors and was going to have a dinner together. At this time, he had to postpone it for a while.
The content of the conversation is very simple, the outline of the work, the specific number of words to end, and how much per thousand words.
Although Mr. Jin Yong's "Ming Pao" is very famous and popular in Hong Kong and the mainland, the manuscript fee he offers is relatively low among other newspapers of the same type.
Mr. Ni Kuang once complained about Jin Yong, who was too stingy, and the manuscript fee was too small, so he asked for an extra fee.
In the end, Jin Yong did not agree to Mr. Ni Kuang's request.
On the contrary, for some authors who have not mentioned additional remuneration, Jin Yong will add some appropriately.
This reflects the character of Mr. Jin Yong, he can't take the initiative to ask him for it, he will give it according to the situation.
He likes obedient children.
After all, Ding Peng didn't dare to bargain when he first arrived, so he let Jin Yong make full decisions about the royalties, and he could give as much as he wanted.
He still trusts Mr. Jin Yong's character very much.
Subsequently, Ding Peng also raised his own difficulties.
He said that he came to Hong Kong to join his relatives, but the relatives did not know where they had moved.
Jin Yong glanced at Ding Peng's work "The Story of Love" again, and the more he read it, the more he liked it, he also saw Ding Peng's embarrassment at this time, and smiled: "Originally for new authors like you who submitted for the first time , the manuscript fee cannot be paid in advance, but who doesn’t have some difficulties when going out, so, don’t you say that you don’t have a place to live? I’ll provide you with accommodation and food, so you can concentrate on writing this novel. After writing, I will follow the novel. Quality, how about paying the manuscript fee to you at one time?"
This is really great. It completely solves Ding Peng's urgent needs. Naturally, he will not refuse, and nodded again and again.
Jin Yong called someone to arrange Ding Peng's room and board.
In the next few days, Ding Peng has been immersed in writing. Because of the ready-made plot, he wrote very quickly, but in more than a month, he has finished writing the 100 million-word "Looking for Qin Ji" from beginning to end.
Although the original book has 160 million words, Ding Peng deleted a lot of explicit content and reduced it to 100 million.
Jin Yong was greatly shocked after reading it, not only shocked by Ding Peng's creative speed, but also shocked by the high quality of his novels.
Although there are 100 million words, the plot is interlocking, very compact, and not sloppy.
You must know that most of the novels at this time have 10,000+ or hundreds of thousands of words, and very few have more than one million words. This is very different from the online novels of later generations.
