Wangping Street, east district of Shanghai Public Concession, is a gravel-paved street, also called Miao Street.

However, its most well-known name is the Newspaper Street, because most newspapers and magazines in Shanghai are set up and published here, and it is also the place with the most densely populated newspaper practitioners.

It is no exaggeration to say that eight out of the ten people who came here are editors, and the remaining two are the authors of the submission.

The intersection of Wangping Street and Sanma Road, on the west side is the newspaper office of Shenbao, on the east side is the newspaper office of Newspaper, and on the south side of the newspaper office of The Times is the intersection with Sima Road.

The three most influential newspapers in Shanghai are confronting each other like this.

On this not-too-long street, early in the morning, newspaper vendors gathered and bundles of newspapers were transported out from various newspaper offices.

Some cars were pulled, some carried on their shoulders, and many newspaper boys were carrying newspapers, and they sent newspapers to various districts of Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other places, and sold them everywhere.

Whenever the newspaper office comes out of "No. 1", people who come here to inquire about the news stand on the streets, and those who traffickers in the newspaper squeeze the entire Wangping Street into pieces, which makes the traffic blocked and vehicles detours, making it very lively.

Just after the New Year, the "Shenbao" newspaper office.

Zhou Shoujuan, the editor of "Free Talk", sat at her desk, made a cup of tea, and prepared to read the manuscript.

Zhou Shoujuan is not only a novelist, but also a translator.

When he was at Zhonghua Book Company, he translated "European and American Short Stories" and "Shelf's Detective Collection", which caused a great response and was a truly knowledgeable master.

He has been taking over "Free Talk" for nearly a year. Compared with the past, it is neither good nor bad, and has no obvious improvement.

Most newspaper supplements like this publish novels, literary comments, current affairs comments, poetry, opera and other content.

Compared with the orthodoxy of news, this is the text of entertainment and entertainment.

Especially the novel type, since the rise of supplements, it has been occupied by romance novels, namely the Mandarin duck butterfly school.

This kind of novels that describe the love between talented men and beautiful women is very popular and is deeply loved by the general public. Thinking about it, their lives are already miserable enough, so they are unwilling to read novels that describe the sufferings of the people.

Zhou Shoujuan himself is a representative figure of the Mandarin Duck Butterfly School, and he is not disgusted with this.

However, this type of subject matter tends to get worse and worse, and even turns from romance novels to unsightly erotic novels, and the supplements of various newspapers have also become the bases for erotic novels.

In order to cater to readers' interests and to increase circulation, newspapers are becoming less and less generous nowadays.

There is no way to do this. If you don’t publish it, there will naturally be other newspapers to publish it. Everyone can play the edge.

This led to the reduction of the grade of the supplement, becoming synonymous with low-level interests, unable to attract famous writers to contribute, and causing a vicious cycle.

Zhou Shoujuan sighed and continued to read the manuscript, hoping to find a satisfactory manuscript from it.

Time passed little by little, and at noon, just when he was about to have lunch, he saw a manuscript, which stunned him.

New martial arts novels!

What's this?

Is this going to start a sect?

He couldn't help but shake his head and smile. The authors are really amazing nowadays. They always have to start a sect and do not look at their level. It is not easy to innovate in literature.

He knew that martial arts novels, and most of today's martial arts novels were derived from "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness".

Among them, martial arts and martial arts (such as acupoints, hidden weapons, sword techniques, sword techniques, light skills and vertical techniques), martial arts and lakes (such as incense, treasure sacks, thousands of miles of fire, night clothes, poison, leather masks, etc.), as well as various names of ambushing the mechanisms have had a profound impact on future martial arts novels.

For example, the later "Three Heroes" and "The Biography of Tong Lin" did not change much in writing routines.

With curiosity, Zhou Shoujuan looked on.

The name of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is nothing surprising...

"The Qiantang River is vast and flowing into the sea every day and night."

Seeing this sentence, Zhou Shoujuan felt nervous. This was a vernacular Chinese. At this time, there were not many authors who wrote martial arts novels in vernacular Chinese.

He continued to read and knew that he was writing a story of the Song Dynasty.

After Yang Tiexin and Guo Xiaotian were loyal and good knights, they lived in seclusion in Niujia Village. Qiu Chuji's appearance broke the tranquility of Niujia Village and attracted strong enemies. After a fight, the family was destroyed...

Next, nothing more.

The manuscript only has one chapter, and Zhou Shoujuan is a famous artist, so it can be seen that this is just the beginning. The real protagonist is probably the two children who have not been born yet. Otherwise, why would Taoist Qiu Chuji have to name the two children with the word "Jingkang"?

From this chapter, we can see that the author's writing skills are extraordinary and his writing style is innovative, but it is probably an exaggeration to say that he has started a sect and established a sect.

Parents were killed and died tragically, the children fled, and then learned martial arts to avenge them...

This is still an old routine, it is just a new wine in old bottles.

Zhou Shoujuan made a judgment and decided to publish the novel in "Free Talk".

After all, this is much better than those erotic novels, but first he needs to talk to the author, he needs to know how many words the author can write every day, whether the follow-up story has been considered well, etc.

This is a serialized newspaper and magazine. If you interrupt it frequently, it will be a bit troublesome, especially for new authors.

So he wrote a letter and invited the author to the newspaper office for details.

At the same time, the newspaper newspaper.

An editor of "Happy Forest" handed a manuscript to Yan Duhe, the editor-in-chief of "Happy Forest".

Yan Duhe is a scholar and is also a writer of the Mandarin duck butterfly school. He likes to write comments and has a good relationship with Zhou Shoujuan. Although "Shen Bao" and "News" are competitive, it has not affected their personal relationship.

What he saw was also the manuscript of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

Like Zhou Shoujuan, after reading the manuscript, he intuitively felt that this should be a good story, but if you want to start a sect, you will inevitably be sensational.

They didn't know that the reason why Lin Zixuan wrote the title of "New School Martial Arts Novel" was to distinguish it from the past martial arts novels, and he wanted to establish a sect.

If they saw the follow-up content of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", they would not have doubted it.

"The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is grand in scale and combined with history. Under the grand narrative background of the Song, Jin and Yuan dynasties, martial arts world competition and heroes, it describes the chivalrous and tenderness of heroes.

It broke through the rut of old martial arts novels, and Guo Jing was not a traditional knight, but was elevated to the height of the country and the nation.

The greatest hero is to serve the country and the people!

This sentence alone is different from traditional martial arts novels.

Yan Duhe asked someone to contact the author of the novel and planned to serialize the novel in "Happy Forest" and give the new author the remuneration and treatment.

At this time, in Shanghai, the manuscript remuneration of writers was between a thousand words and a piece of three pieces, and the manuscript remuneration of famous writers doubled. The manuscript remuneration he gave Lin Zixuan was a silver dollar for a thousand words.

What was Lin Zixuan doing at this time?
