“According to legend, the body of the great Indian monk Rama contains martial arts secrets. As long as you get the body and understand the secrets, you can practice peerless magical skills and dominate the martial arts world...

During the Tianqi period of the Ming Dynasty, Wei Zhongxian came to power, specialized in government affairs, and squeezed out the Donglin Party. While sending his adopted son Zhao Jingzhong, the eunuch of Dongchang, to frame and hunt down Donglin Party members and eliminate dissidents, he created the Blackstone Organization and found hidden secrets in the palace.

The master wheel-turning king, the eunuch Cao Feng, asked him to search for Rama's body in the rivers and lakes for Wei Zhongxian.

In addition to his own disciple Xiao Yu, the King of Wheels has also recruited three major killers, Lei Bin, Cai Xishi Lian Sheng, and Ye Chanqing, to enrich the Black Stone Organization.

…

When King Chakravartin was searching for Rama's body, he unexpectedly learned that Rama's body could be regenerated, fill in gaps, and regenerate creation. He then had a different intention and wanted to seize the treasure for his own use, so he lied to Wei Zhongxian that Rama's body was not yet whereabouts.

, and sent his apprentice Xiao Yu to the home of the chief assistant Zhang Haiduan to snatch the body, and fake the traces of the Jinyiwei murder and treasure grabbing, causing conflicts between the two parties and attracting Wei Zhongxian's attention... The Donglin Party was already furious under the attack of the Eunuch Party.

After the chief assistant Zhang Haiduan was killed by Jin Yiwei, he hatched a conspiracy against Wei Zhongxian...".

Zhang Yang looked at some of the manuscripts that Ye Fan brought and asked: "Xiao Fan, you are good at writing this. I heard your mother said before that you wanted to write a novel. I thought it was just for fun. What did you think?

This "Sword Rain"? What is the Donglin Party's conspiracy against Wei Zhongxian, and what did Shen Lian and the other three brothers do? Seeing that their positions are not high, you still write about them, is there any foreshadowing?"

"Uncle, you have such a good sense. This is part of what I wrote. You also know that I like to read Jin Yong's novels and Hong Kong martial arts movies. I just want to write a martial arts story. Then Zhu Zhu in history

Didn't you have a boating incident in school and get sick from drowning? Let's refer to this to arrange the plot of the Donglin Party's conspiracy. Shen Lian is the protagonist of the "Xiu Chun Dao" series. The current plot is considered a side story, and the protagonists are two other people.

." Ye Fan explained: "And I don't want you to be in control. If you think this part of the novel is good, then I will be confident in writing the rest of it."

Zhang Yang pondered for a while, and then said: "I can talk about it after the journal is published, but you have to get the entire manuscript. I will let the editor read it before I can talk about it. But you are a newcomer, only 14

Years old, don’t even think about royalties. Your article is not enough to publish a collection. When I calculate the remuneration based on 1,000 words for you, try to calculate a little more. If the whole book has enough words, it can be published separately. Don’t follow Wang

Shuobi, don’t look at how many years he has been famous, and he only received royalties the year before last.”

Ye Fan rubbed his head and smiled sheepishly: "There are so many publishing houses. Are you the only one who is following the market path? You started giving royalties to Wang Shuo the year before last and shocked a lot of people. So I just asked.

Well, after all, when Huayi was established, uncle, you were still considered a veteran when you came here. Who else would I look for if I didn’t look for you, hehe?"

Zhang Yang shook his head and said: "Do you think President Jin is willing? Huayi is not a monopoly like most other publishing houses. They have policy protection for publishing and selling books, and they have their own channels. Their survival is basically

It's not a problem. When she came to Huayi in 1988, Huayi was still a small publishing house. The primary problem was survival pressure. This was also a very rare example. It didn't have deep resources like people's literature or higher education, and it didn't have its own core.

products, so the first problem that President Jin has to face is how to revive this publishing house.”

Looking at the manuscript in his hand, Zhang Yang added: "I still remember when she called me over, she told me that because we are a small company, we cannot compare with those big companies that have various advantages, so she forced us to just

I can follow the path of the market, but the same development potential will be greater. And she has helped me before. After considering it comprehensively, I followed her. However, for novels of your type, it is better to submit to us for comparison.

It's appropriate. The martial arts market in mainland China is quite popular now. After all, we at Huayi have done the most market research in the past few years. I guess there won't be much of a problem in the agency."

"That's good, that's good. I heard you say that President Jin is getting older. You are only 40 now and you are the deputy editor. When the time comes, I will write more novels and you will introduce them. We, uncle and nephew, are two swordsmen.

When President Jin retires, you will be the next president." Ye Fan said with a smile.

"What are you talking about? Don't talk nonsense. Where are you now? You don't know what happened to your novel submission." Zhang Yang looked at the door and said to Ye Fan seriously: "Return to the president, you know

I don’t know how many grades it takes to become a president. Just finish writing this novel first, and I’ll give you a little more for a thousand words, don’t think about it.”

Ye Fan confidently said: "Don't believe it, I have a ready-made idea now. I have been learning from my aunt and uncle for more than a year. I have almost prepared the information. I am just waiting to write it out.

If it sells well, I will take your last name."

"What are you talking about? You have my last name. Believe it or not, your parents will beat you to death." Upon hearing Ye Fan's words, Zhang Yang took the manuscript and prepared to call. He was amused by Ye Fan's words and said: "

Why are you so confident in your ideas? Let me tell you. I have read thousands of manuscripts over the years, and I have a very high vision."

Ye Fan took advantage of the situation to hide for a moment and said: "Uncle, I told you not to hit me. I have three ideas, one for martial arts, one for immortals, and one about tomb robbing. Which one I write will depend on the publication of this novel.

My grades are good, so uncle, please don’t underestimate me, I will scare you to death when I write them down.”

Zhang Yang ignored Ye Fan's bragging and asked with a frown: "I can still understand this martial arts thing. What is the concept of this fairy tale? Like "The Legend of Shushan"? If you want to rob a tomb, even if you have information about your aunt and uncle, this

Can there be a market?"

Ye Fan said patiently: "Uncle, please believe me just once. When was it when I was a child that I told lies? Did I do unreliable things? I want to write a novel, and you began to think that I was playing tricks. Isn't this right?

You've also seen the content, isn't it good? Even if I get scolded, I can't let you in the club be told that you don't take care of me just because I'm your nephew."

Zhang Yang thought for a while after hearing this, and said: "It seems that you have grown up, but I won't talk about the rest until it is written, and get it as soon as possible after it is finished. If a newcomer wants to strive for a high remuneration, he or she should show it to the editor. If possible,

When it is published, President Jin and I will fight for more resources. You can go back and write the entire manuscript as soon as possible. I will go to the editor-in-chief. If there is any situation, I will go to your house to talk to you tomorrow or Saturday."

After saying that, he stood up and walked out of the office. When he walked to the door, he suddenly stopped and turned around and said to Ye Fan: "By the way, Xiao Fan, who said you didn't talk nonsense when you were a child? You said you were the most handsome in the whole family since you were a child.

Ha ha ha ha."

Ye Fan, who was about to go home, heard this and had a dark look on his face. He ran to the door and shouted to his uncle who was walking away: "Uncle, you are just jealous."

Seeing the people around him eating melon, Ye Fan curled his lips, cursed Zhang Yang, turned around and went back.

Ye Fan didn't tell Zhang Yang that he had finished writing the "Embroidered Spring Knife" series in the past year, so he wanted to sort out the finished manuscript and show it to his uncle tomorrow.

Yes, this year is 1994, another year has passed, and Ye Fan is already 14 years old and has entered the second year of high school.

Over the past year, the outlines of the other three novels have also been written. After all, most of the contents have been remembered. Apart from attending various classes and practicing, the rest of the time is basically spent coding, no, just writing. This makes Ye Fan

I vowed to buy a computer when I get the royalties, no matter how expensive it is, because writing is really painful.

"It seems that if you want to get a good remuneration, you have to come up with something. The "Embroidered Spring Knife" series only has about 200,000 words." Ye Fan murmured to himself: "I also started writing "Kunlun"

Well, then when the time comes to negotiate the remuneration, the conditions will be better."

The current remuneration standard is based on the "Interim Regulations on Book Remuneration" issued by the National Copyright Administration in 1990. The standard is 10-30 yuan per 1,000 words. This regulation has been in effect until April 1999. However, the standards for authors who generally submit articles to newspapers are almost the same.

It's 10 yuan for 1,000 words, and 20 yuan for 1,000 words is high. In 1999, the National Copyright Administration abolished the "Interim Provisions" and implemented the "Regulations on Remuneration for Publishing Literary Works" from April, and the standard for manuscript fees was raised to 30-1,000 words.

-100 yuan. Of course, Huayi, which takes a market-oriented approach, will be relatively higher in this regard. This is why Ye Fan chose Huayi.

When he returned home, Ye Fan saw Cao Xin and Zeng Li looking through a pile of his manuscripts in the yard. With the constant communication between Ye Fan and Zeng Li over the past year, Zhang Yue often called him.

Zeng Li came to the house for dinner and met Cao Xin. As a result, within a year, the two of them became good sisters who talked about everything. The relationship between women is so strange.

The two of them looked up when they heard the noise. Seeing that Ye Fan was back, Cao Xin asked, "Xiao Fan, how was the conversation with your uncle? What did he say?"

"He thought the novel was okay, so he took it to the editor to read. He will come to my house tomorrow and tell me the situation. You guys can read it and don't mess up my manuscript." Ye Fan walked over and poured a glass of water and asked: "Senior sister,

What do you think of this novel?"

When Zeng Li heard Ye Fan's words, he rolled his eyes and replied: "You didn't even look at the mess in your previous manuscript, and you said that we messed it up for you, and Xiaoxin and I sorted it out while we were reading it, okay? This Zeng

The emotional entanglement between Jing and Jiang Asheng is quite well written, but how did you think of it at such a young age?"

"Don't even look at the books in my room. After reading Jin Yong's novels, you can write them, right? Are there not enough emotional contents in his books? You must know that Jin Yong's cousin is Xu Zhimo, and

Don’t you just think the emotional part is good, don’t you think the other aspects are good?” Ye Fan said confidently, after all, even if he were a civil servant, he could live a new life, read so many books, and have more than 40 years of experience.

It has been moved intact, and with the memory of the past life still there, the novel as a whole is better written both logically and in terms of writing style.

"I'm not saying it's bad, it's just that I read your outline of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp - Notes on Grave Robbers" and I'm more interested in this book." Zeng Li said while showing a copy of the manuscript.

"Yes, yes, Sister Li and I have both watched it. Although Xiuchundao and Kunlun Story are good, we are not very interested in martial arts. We really want to watch "Zhu Xian" and "Ghost Blowing the Lamp - Tomb Robbers Notes" "These two books, Xiaofan, when did you start writing these two books?" Cao Xin took another manuscript and asked: "Who did this Zhang Xiaofan end up with? And this Hu Bayi and Shirley Yang Has the curse finally been lifted?"

Ye Fan replied: "It's not that fast. I have to finish "Kunlun" first. After all, writing martial arts is easier and faster now. Those two different types of books need to be well written and well conceived. You want me to write them earlier. Finished, if your parents have any new information, please collect it for me in time."

After hearing this, the two people put down the manuscripts in their hands in disappointment. Their pitiful looks, as if they had been wronged so much, made Ye Fan feel cold and said hurriedly: "Otherwise, if you have time to help me write "Kunlun", I said You guys write, it will be faster this way, after all I have to rest no matter how fast I write alone, it will be faster with your help."

Cao Xin: "Okay, but we only have time to come over on weekends, so I'll help you then."

But Zeng Li said: "We are coming back from the weekend. Aren't you okay now? Now, I give you the outline of "Kunlun". Why don't you go to your room and start writing? Hurry up and hurry up."

Before Ye Fan finished drinking the water in his hand, he was driven to the room by the two women in grief and anger to code words.

After Ye Fan entered the house, he did not sit down and write a book immediately. Instead, he walked to the bed and took out a locked small box from under the bed. He checked that no one had touched it and he felt relieved.

Ye Fan sat by the bed, opened the box and put it on his lap, took out the manuscript paper inside, and looked through it one after another.

In his memory, Ye Fan wrote down most of the important events in secret words, so that he would not be afraid of forgetting them if he could read them at any time.

After checking the timeline of the works he had written down to avoid a collision, and seeing that there was no problem, Ye Fan locked the box with satisfaction and stuffed it back under the bed.

After getting up and sitting down at the desk, Ye Fan looked at the outline, picked up a pen and paper, and wrote:

"The prequel: The Iron-Blooded Prodigy"

1. The road to Shu is difficult

The Daba Mountain Range...is such a thrilling place...it was September,...only an old man and a young man could be seen, meandering along the winding bird path."
