043 [Opening a faction]

Seeing that Xia Tian actually called on other writers to imitate their creative style, Ni Geng couldn't help but his face changed suddenly. Wouldn't this let others steal their jobs?!

The science fiction martial arts novels he created are unique in Southeast Asia. The reason why his royalties are so high is because he is the only one of Scorpion's Baba. If other novelists also imitate his creative style, wouldn't he become the second Gu Long?!

When Gu Long was the most popular in the 1960s and 1970s, he was respected as the three masters of new martial arts novels together with Jin Yong and Liang Yusheng. However, despite his reputation, his royalties were still not as good as Ni Geng. It was because there were too many people who could imitate Gu Long, such as Huang Ying, Ding Qing, Long Chengfeng and others, who could imitate 70% or 80%.

Therefore, many bad booksellers bought their works at a low price and then signed the name of Gu Long for sale. Because the styles are very similar, readers could not tell at all. They thought it was Gu Long's original work, so they paid for it and could sell it with good sales.

Since fakes can deceive readers' eyes and have achieved good sales, no matter how good the authentic products are, how high can they be sold?! Therefore, although Gu Long is famous and his works are very popular, his remuneration is still not as high as Ni Geng in terms of manuscripts.

Ni Geng knew this truth, so he didn't like others to imitate himself. Especially his style was not difficult to imitate. As long as he finally blamed all unexplained things on aliens, everything would be fine. Therefore, in order to prevent others from imitating him, Ni Geng used a lot of means.

He is very familiar with major newspapers, magazines, publishers, and booksellers in Hong Kong and has a deep friendship. Therefore, he greets them in advance and will be killed when he encounters similar styles of manuscripts. In this way, even if other writers want to imitate him, they still have no way to make a difference.

Otherwise, many writers have imitated their works, but Ni Geng’s works have been popular for so many years, but they are still unique. This is why it is not that no one is willing to imitate them, but Ni Geng is really domineering, and their arms cannot resist their thighs.

Now, Xia Tian actually called on other writers to learn from him in public, and this move was clearly to hang himself up and beat him up. If he objected, he would seem to eat alone and not leave a way for other writers to survive. But if he did not object, his job would be smashed.

In addition, when he saw those writers, he was also moved by the publishers, and the publishers seemed to not resist. Ni Geng was so angry that he was furious and smoked from his orifices.

If it weren't for the sake of his old friend Jin Yong, Ni Geng would leave if he really wanted to, and wouldn't listen to this slutty boy who was still swearing.

Ni Geng sat on the chair with anger and heard Xia Tian continue to say, "In addition to moving the background of martial arts novels from ancient times to modern times, we can also move martial arts novels from the ground to the sky. Readers have watched the heroes' martial arts competitions for a lot, and there is no more freshness. Why can't we write about fighting between gods and immortals? If Tathagata and God fight, do you want to know who can win?"

After hearing his question, 80% of the people present nodded.

One of the Tathagata Buddha and God is in heaven and earth, and I am the only one who is the Creator, omniscient and omnipotent, and both have infinite magic power and boundless wisdom. If they fight, it would be quite fun.

"But how could Tathagata Buddha and God fight?" Long Chengfeng asked in confusion. He really couldn't figure out what would Tathagata Buddha and God fight.

"This requires your imagination." Xia Tian smiled, "Three hundred years ago, Xu Zhonglin, a novelist from the Ming Dynasty, could write "The Investiture of the Gods" and arrange a competition between the two sects. Three hundred years later, is it better for us descendants than the ancients?"

After hearing what he said, everyone here lit up their eyes and got a lot of inspiration.

"If you don't write about heroes' competitions, but you write about gods and immortals fighting, then can this novel still be called a 'martial arts novel'? Wouldn't it become a god-monster novel?" Ni Jin curled his lips and said disdainfully.

He believed that Xia Tian's statement was clearly a way to pick up people's teeth. Because as early as 40 or 50 years ago, seniors such as Huanzhu Tower, Pingjiang Buxiaosheng and other seniors had already added elements of magic and monsters to their martial arts novels.

At this moment, Xia Tian was talking here, clearly taking the creativity of his predecessors for himself. This behavior made Ni Geng very despised. You should know that he is a loyal fan of the master of the Zhu Lou.

"Yes, it's not a must to call this type of novel "God and Monster Novels", but I prefer the name "fantasy novel". "Xia Tian smiled, "because this kind of subject includes elements such as metaphysics, science fiction, magic, fantasy, etc. As long as the imagination is rich enough, any element can be included."

Everyone here was surprised to hear Xia Tian say this. It seems that this young man is indeed ambitious, and he seems to have planned to start a sect and become the originator of "fantasy novels".

The reason why Jin Yong, Gu Long and Liang Yusheng have a high status in the martial arts novel world is that in addition to their works being indeed classic, they also created and promoted the theme of new-style martial arts novels. As masters of the school, they deserve to be admired by their descendants.

Unexpectedly, Xia Tian had the intention to start a sect at such a young age, and he wanted to become the master of the sect in "fantasy novels". He was really ambitious but not at the age of high age. However, if he could really lead the "fantasy novels" trend, then he would have really settled for the position of the master of the sect in this sect.

"Enough, no need to say anything more." At this moment, Ni Geng suddenly stood up, slapped the table, and shouted loudly, "All of us here are seniors in the literary world, and we have at least 10 or 20 years of experience in writing books. What qualifications do you have to give us a guide? And you are so arrogant that you want to be a master of the school? Humph, I'm too lazy to dump you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ni Geng left and couldn't stop him.

He started to create in the 1950s and has written almost a thousand works, which can be regarded as a work. Moreover, both movies, novels and comments are very popular, which not only gives him a large number of book fans, but also earns him the reputation of the four great talents of Xiangjiang.

Even so, he was unable to become a generation of sect masters. Xia Tian had no virtue and could do anything, and he actually spoke wildly, wanting to be the "sect masters"?!

If I don’t leave at this time and don’t draw a clear line with him, wouldn’t I become a sedan chair for him? When he becomes the grandmaster of the school in the future, wouldn’t I have to be shorter than him? Then why can’t I laugh at me?

Not to mention that Xia Tian also called on other novelists to imitate his creations and grab his job, which even touched Ni Geng's rebellious scales. Naturally, he didn't want to stay anymore and cheer for Xia Tian.

Ni Geng's words immediately made other writers think about it.

"Mr. Cha invited us here today. Could it be that he was convening a 'martial arts conference' and let us promote Xia Tian to the throne together?! When the seniority is in the future, he is the master of the sect. Then wouldn't we become his pawns?!" Everyone thought to themselves.

When everyone thought of this, they were not calm. Although Xia Tian’s insights inspired them a lot, they did not want to promote Xia Tian to the top. Because since ancient times, literati were inferior to each other and had no first-rate literary works, why did they convince him? What’s more, he is a young junior and unknown person, so what qualifications are there to be to become the “master of the school”!

"Mr. Cha, I'm sorry, I still have something to do, I have to take a step first." At this time, Huang Ying also stood up and said.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Cha, I have something to do, so I'll leave first." Long Chengfeng also followed closely behind.

"Sorry, Mr. Cha..." "Sorry, I'll take a step forward!"

...

After a while, all the writers invited by Kim Yong left, leaving only a few publishers, book critics and readers representatives in the room.

Jin Yong looked at the dozen seats that were empty expressionlessly, but his heart was bleeding.

He was completely out of kindness, so he asked Xia Tian to share his insights, inspiring these novelists, and thus guiding the transformation of martial arts novels.

Unexpectedly, my hard work turned into ashes. These people did not want to support this reform because of a little pitiful self-esteem. It was ridiculous and sad.

"Mr. Cha, you don't have to be angry. In my opinion, they are actually against me, not my point of view. I think this symposium should inspire them." Xia Tian comforted, "I think this is enough. Isn't our purpose the same?"

Seeing that Xia Tian was at this time, Jin Yong was still in the mood to comfort himself, and he was very moved. "A Tian, ​​I'm sorry, I made you famous today, but I didn't expect it to be like this in the end."

"It's okay. I feel very honored to be able to stand in front of so many seniors today." Xia Tian waved his hand and said. It doesn't matter whether those writers like him or not. It's enough for him to win Jin Yong's favor.

"Mr. Cha, I am very interested in this kind of fantasy novel." Luo Bin, the owner of Global Publishing House, stood up and said, "Mr. Xia, when will your fantasy masterpiece be written? I hope it can be handed over to our publishing house for distribution."

"Mr. Xia, our Xinyi Publishing House is also very interested in this kind of novel." Feng Jingxi, the CEO of Xinyi Publishing House, also stood up and said.

"Mr. Cha, I am also very interested in this kind of fantasy novel and hope to see such works as soon as possible." The reader representative and book critic also came forward to say.

When Jin Yong saw these publishers, book critics and readers looking forward to this kind of "fantasy novel", he finally laughed happily. With their support, the symposium was not in vain.

"Don't worry, A Tian has started to create. He will have a fantasy novel serialized in Ming Pao in the near future." He said with a smile.
