Kang Jianfei was not an otaku bookworm in his previous life, and he didn't read many novels. He only read novels when he was wandering around and was bored. Later, he joined the film and television company and basically followed the crew, or read various movies and professional books at home, and didn't have much time to read miscellaneous books.
Of course, Kang Jianfei is very familiar with the novels such as "The Godly Condor", "Shè Condor", "Little Li's Flying Knife", and "The Four Famous Captains". Unfortunately, others have written these novels long ago and he can't copy them.
"Zhu Xian", "Su Shen Ji" or "Kunlun"?
Kang Jianfei also wanted to copy these novels, and he still remembered some of the general plots, but he didn't have the writing style and couldn't write them at all. Wu Ruiqing was the same, and he couldn't write that kind of fairy spirit or Jin Yong flavor.
Kang Jianfei is now considering the company's affairs and doesn't have so much time to write novels. He can only make an outline by himself and then let his cousin write it on his behalf.
But writing and revising are completely different things. My cousin is a 16-year-old boy. He must not write novels that require rich experience or a lot of knowledge.
For example, in the novel "Kunlun", even if Kang Jianfei handed over the plot outline to Wu Ruiqing, he would probably not be able to read what Wu Ruiqing wrote, let alone neither of them understands any knowledge of numerical knowledge.
After thinking about it, Kang Jianfei remembered a cultivation novel "The Journey of Piaomiao" that he read many years ago. This book seems to have a very bad writing style (Piaomiao fans don't criticize me, just read it again by yourself). He won by pure plot, which is just suitable for young people like Wu Ruiqing to write it on their behalf.
Kang Jianfei has forgotten most of the plot of "The Ethereal Journey", but that doesn't matter. Anyway, the book is smelly and long, so it doesn't matter if it cuts some chapters and circles the plot.
Kang Jianfei changed the basic setting. The name of the protagonist Li Qiang was too frustrated. He changed it to Li Chengfeng. Then the rules of Chongxuan Sect also had to be changed. Now Hong Kong still emphasizes sect inheritance. After entering the game, the setting that all brothers do not distinguish between elders and young people will definitely be scolded when writing it.
Kang Jianfei was worried that people nowadays would not accept this kind of cultivation novel, so he took out the manuscript and said, "Don't read the outline for now. I wrote the first 50,000 words, and you can read the main text directly. If you think it is not good, I will change to another book for you to write."
Wu Ruiqing took the manuscript and read it, and found that the opening was modern Hong Kong. She couldn't help but ask: "Cousin, is this book traveling through time and space again?"
Kang Jianfei dragged a stool to sit down and said, "Don't ask more questions, keep reading, tell me your reading experience after reading."
Wu Ruiqing had to shut up and read the novel. As soon as she appeared, the protagonist Li Chengfeng was betrayed by her friend and girlfriend, and she also suffered from a terminal illness.
This protagonist is too bad!
Wu Ruiqing watched with a patient look. It was not until Qingfeng real person Fu Chongbi appeared to take the protagonist as his disciple that he suddenly felt his eyes lit up. When Fu Chongbi instantly brought the protagonist Li Chengfeng to Mars, and there was also a teleportation formation on Mars. This plot made Wu Ruiqing dumbfounded.
Wu Ruiqing has watched "The Legend of Shushan Swordsman" several times at a young age, but "Shushan" is at least still on Earth. This "Emotional Journey" has actually entered the planet in space!
After Wu Ruiqing finished reading the 50,000-word manuscript, he looked at Kang Jianfei expectantly and said, "Cousin, this book is really good, why don't you write a little more."
When Kang Jianfei looked at his expression, he knew that his worries were unnecessary. It seemed that Hong Kong people would not dislike books like "The Journey of Ethereal".
In fact, don’t read the newspaper serialization at this time. When Jin Yong serialized novels in the newspaper, the plot was full of loopholes, and because time was too tight, there were often erroneous sentences. The current version of Jin Yong’s novels has been deleted and revised more than ten times.
Kang Jianfei smiled and said, "Don't you want to write? Then I'll just find someone to write for you. Those gunmen are more professional than you."
"I'll write!" Wu Ruiqing immediately put away the manuscript, for fear that Kang Jianfei would take it back, all this was money!
Kang Jianfei's royalties were still 500 words at this time, and there was no semicolon in Hong Kong. Although Ni Kuang had been hyped up by Huang Yulang at such a high price, he mainly wrote in Ming Pao. It would be considered generous to be able to give Ni Kuang a 300 word fee.
Wu Ruiqing carefully read the outline and various settings. Seeing that he was busy and too lazy to stay too late, Kang Jianfei said hello to his cousin's aunt and left.
Until Wu Cheng had come back in the evening and saw his son writing novels again, he suddenly became angry and ran over to receive the manuscript and said, "I don't read the books well, and I'll tear them up for you if I believe it or not."
Seeing that Wu Chenggang was about to tear up the manuscript, Wu Ruiqing quickly shouted anxiously: "Don't tear up, Lao Dou, you are not in your hand, it's tens of thousands of dollars! My cousin's new novel, 500 yuan in a thousand words, this time he will give me half of the manuscript fee."
Wu Chenggang stopped, frowned and read, and then couldn't help but shake his head and said, "I'm really ignorant, why do you write so many typos?"
Wu Ruiqing laughed and said, "That was written by my cousin."
Wu Chenggang read it for a while and finally realized the hard work of Secretary Kang Jianfei. He used to be Li Shan, but now he is Chen Shuli. Every time Kang Jianfei wrote the script, they had to process it, otherwise they would really not be able to meet people.
In fact, there are not many typos, mainly because Kang Jianfei's simplified Chinese habit has not been changed.
Wu Chenggang saw that his face was worse and asked, "Did you write this behind it?"
Wu Ruiqing nodded and smiled, "Yes, I wrote the last 3,000 words. How about Laodou? My writing style is much better than my cousin, right?"
Wu Chenggang slapped Wu Ruiqing on the forehead and scolded: "There is nothing to do with writing. Although your cousin wrote vulgar writing, at least the narrative dialogue is very sophisticated. What are you writing? The words and deeds of the protagonist and the supporting characters are childish, and you can tell at a glance that it was written by a child who doesn't understand anything."
Wu Ruiqing said angrily: "I have rewritten the "Qing Qin" and it's not so many people have read it."
Wu Chenggang taught a lesson: "Modification is modification, as long as the writing is smooth, writing is a kind of creation, and you are still very tender. How many Hong Kong people are qualified to write for Jin Yong and Gu Long? If this novel is posted to the newspaper, your cousin's face will be thrown away by you."
Wu Ruiqing touched his forehead that had just been slapped and asked in annoyance: "What should I do?"
Wu Chenggang scolded, "What else can I do? Of course, I will write for you, and you can review your homework yourself!"
"Oh." Wu Ruiqing ran through his textbook dejectedly.
After dinner, Wu Chenggang carefully read the various settings and outlines left by Kang Jianfei. The more he looked, the more he felt that his cousin's imagination was strange.
In fact, before the popularization of television, Hong Kong people's biggest entertainment activity besides watching movies was reading novels. It can be said that few Hong Kong men before the 1980s were not martial arts fans.
Wu Chenggang also loved martial arts novels when he was young. Wu Ruiqing is now so obsessed with novels, which is the consequence of stealing his father's novels when he was a child.
Wu Chenggang not only wrote novels, but even wrote scripts before. Unfortunately, although he is a very experienced writer, his writing is not creative and the plot is not very attractive. He gave up writing after failing to submit many times.
Now it’s different. The novel creativity of "The Ethereal Journey" is a masterpiece of genius in this era. Moreover, Kang Jianfei listed all the detailed outlines of the first few volumes, which Wu Chenggang could write very easily.
He continued to write until midnight. Not only did Wu Chenggang revise the tens of thousands of words written by Kang Jianfei, but he also continued to write more than 10,000 words.
The next day, the work was not started. Wu Cheng had just slept until after 10 o'clock. When he was brushing his teeth, Wu Ruiqing said, "Lao Dou, my cousin just called and told me to send the manuscript to the "Oriental Ri Daily" company immediately after revising it. There was urging the manuscript again this morning."
Wu Chenggang asked: "When will the newspaper office want it?"
Wu Ruiqing said: "It seems that it will be officially serialized on New Year's Day."
"Puff!" Wu Chenggang's toothpaste foam sprayed out and said speechlessly, "What's this Ah Fei doing? It's the 30th day today, and I'll be in the newspaper the day after tomorrow. It's only two days, and he still blames others for urging me to hurry."
Wu Chenggang is a good man, always afraid of making things difficult for others. He heard that he would be serialized the day after tomorrow. He was afraid that the newspaper would be in a hurry to wait, so he quickly washed up, picked up the written novel manuscript of more than 60,000 words and rushed out.
After a while, I met Xu Jixin, the editor-in-chief of Oriental Ri Daily, and took out the manuscript and said, "Hello, Editor-in-chief Xu, I am Kang Jianfei's cousin Wu Chenggang. He has something to do today, so he asked me to bring his new novel manuscript."
Xu Jixin was already in a state of great anxiety when he waited for the manuscript. He was immediately delighted after hearing this and said quickly: "Mr. Wu, please sit down, I can't do it for you to go there in person. Just call me and I'll get it."
In Wu Chenggang's eyes, the editor-in-chief of "Oriental Ri" is a big shot. Unexpectedly, the other party was so polite. He smiled and said, "It's nothing, it just happened that I had nothing to do today."
Wu Chenggang claimed to be Kang Jianfei's cousin, and Xu Jixin dared not neglect it. He asked his assistant to make a pot of good tea, and then couldn't wait to open the manuscript and said, "Sorry, I'll look at the manuscript first."
"Please give me your wish." Wu Chenggang nodded.
Xu Jixin, like Wu Ruiqing, thought that after reading the city appearance at the beginning, he thought it was another novel that traveled through time and space. As a result, it turned out to be the Mars Fighting, and then to the Heavenly Court Star that was suspected to be ancient China. The so-called legends of immortals in ancient China have all arrived at this planet and have not gone to the so-called fairy world.
Xu Jixin has never heard of such a novel that integrates modern cities, ancient cities, and cosmic planets. The more he reads, the more excited he says: "Okay, it's Mr. Kang, the novel is creative. Especially the description of this Heavenly Star is simply a stroke of magic."
Wu Chenggang didn't mention that he was the writer himself, and he wouldn't make money by writing things in the future. He stood up and said, "Since Editor-in-Chief Xu is satisfied, I'll leave first."
Xu Jixin smiled and said, "Then you go slowly."
After sending Wu Chenggang to the stairs, Xu Jixin went straight to Ma Chengkun's office and said excitedly: "General Manager, this time Mr. Kang's novel is more beautiful than "The Legend of Qin"!"

Well, I woke up today and didn’t want to write, so I went to play “Civilization 5”.
