Chapter 23: Unreliable novel plots (seeking follow-up reading and collection)

The headquarters of the Beijing Federation of Literary and Art Circles was stunned by the information sent from Yindu Institution in Hong Kong.

A big newspaper in Hong Kong is soliciting contributions from Mainland writers. If it passes the review, the minimum is 50 Hong Kong dollars per thousand words, and if the quality of the manuscript is good, it can even get 200 per thousand words!

Such manuscript fee treatment is definitely a sky-high price for Mainland writers.

Not to mention, the big newspaper in Hong Kong pays in Hong Kong dollars, which can be directly exchanged for US dollars!

In 1986, the Mainland was still very short of foreign exchange. As long as it could earn foreign exchange, it was a hero!

However, what gave the leaders of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles a headache was that the big newspaper in Hong Kong had requirements, only accepting popular novels with science fiction, martial arts, and folk stories as the core.

In the Mainland at the moment, scar literature is the mainstream, and popular literature is not looked down upon at all.

But no matter what, for the sake of earning foreign exchange, we must try!

Those old writers are not willing, aren't there flexible middle-aged and young writers?

Fortunately, not long after, Hong Kong sent quite a few martial arts novels and popular science fiction novels.

Among them, there was also a rough outline template written by Wu Feng.

Not only that, he also specifically wrote a letter to put forward suggestions.

If you are afraid of not writing well at the beginning, you can completely translate the deeds of the characters in the "Biographies of Wandering Knights" in the "Records of the Grand Historian" and fill in some content. It is best to write it vividly and fully.

In fact, the wandering knights who can be recorded in the "Records of the Grand Historian" by Sima Qian, whose deeds are not wonderful? As long as you write stories according to historical facts, it won't be bad.

If you add some entertainment elements and integrate the customs of the dynasty at that time, it will definitely be an extremely excellent story in the Hong Kong novel world.

Cha Xiansheng wrote Guo Jing, and he had to think of ways to make him smoothly integrate into the historical tide.

And the wandering knights recorded in the "Records of the Grand Historian", which one is not a figure of the time?

It has a very close connection with the court situation, and there is no need to think hard about it.

There were powerful wandering knights in the Han Dynasty, and the wandering knights in the Tang Dynasty were not unknown characters!

It can be said that there are too many materials that can be written.

Not only wandering knight stories, but folk story adaptations are also promising.

Wu Feng just mentioned it slightly, such as the folk legend of the cat demon eating children in his hometown, which finally turned out to be a means for the kidnapping group to cover up after careful investigation and tracking by the police.

In short, after seeing the content of Wu Feng's letter, the leaders of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles felt that their horizons were broadened, and at the same time, they had more confidence and confidence in earning foreign exchange.

As for science fiction, in fact, the Mainland in the 1980s was not short of masters who wrote soft science fiction!

At least in terms of story and writing style, it is much stronger than Ni Kuang. It won't be that after writing collapse, all responsibilities are pushed to non-existent aliens. This is the gap.

In terms of hard science fiction, there are also young writers gradually emerging. At that time, the "Science Fiction World" magazine in Bashu was quite famous, and its sales were quite impressive.

Soon, the headquarters of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles distributed the writing tasks to the Federations of Literary and Art Circles in various provinces, which caused a sensation.

Old writers of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles sneered at this and didn't bother to do it at all.

But middle-aged and young writers were quite interested. Many of the literary giants who became famous in later generations were interested in trying it out. The eagerness to earn foreign exchange and make contributions was quite enthusiastic.

Writers of this era have a strong sense of being masters of the country, and they are quite active in things that can share the worries of the country.

Not to mention, the manuscript fees given by the big newspaper in Hong Kong are really too much, no one will think that money is too much!

Soon, writers from local Federations of Literary and Art Circles wrote medium and short novels, submitted them to the headquarters of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles in Beijing, and then sent them to Yindu Institution in Hong Kong by the headquarters of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles.

Wu Feng didn't know that many writers of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles in the Mainland were restless because of his solicitation of contributions.

At this time, he was sitting in a van, and his heart was complaining: Sure enough, some novel plots are not reliable at all, isn't this pitting people?

In the past few days, Wu Feng wanted to find other stable financial sources, so he thought of the arcade games that were very popular in the Hong Kong-style novels he had read.

Then, he went to major shopping malls and game halls to investigate and visit, but the result was disappointing.

At this time, there were already many arcade game halls in Hong Kong, and even large shopping malls had video game cities.

Like the plot in some novels, directly becoming the exclusive agent of arcade game machines in Hong Kong, and then relying on agency game machines to get rich quickly, it is impossible to appear at this time.

Unless, he could come to Hong Kong seven or eight years in advance, there is still a little hope!

In addition, the business of arcade game halls is not as hot as described in the novels.

After investigation and visits, he soon realized a fact, that is, the arcade games at this time cannot fight the home Famicom game console, which is so incredible.

Wu Feng investigated and analyzed it carefully, and knew the reason.

The arcade games at this time are pitifully few, and the fun and story are not very good.

Like the famous "Mario Bros.", it can be played on the arcade, but it is just as refreshing to play on the home game console, and the arcade does not have much special advantage.

As for the classic games "Street Fighter", "Raiden", "The King of Fighters", and "Metal Slug" that appeared when the arcade was most popular, they were not developed at all at this time.

Wu Feng saw such a situation, and his heart cooled by half.

He has many ideas. If there is a game development company with strong technical strength to cooperate, it is estimated that he can make a lot of money when the arcade explodes later.

A "Street Fighter" and a "The King of Fighters" can be eaten until 2024!

If you can become a game tycoon, not only can you earn massive profits, but you can also help the Mainland improve its technology in the electronics industry.

No matter how simple the game motherboard of the arcade is, it is also a finished product of integrated circuits!

Chips were not used on a large scale in the 1980s, but integrated circuits were the mainstream.

Returning to the Shanghai Street headquarters with a depressed mood, before his butt was hot, Tangge called and asked him to go to the Hong Yi teahouse to talk about things.

Wu Feng's heart moved, and he greeted his confidant underlings to ask about Guanzaisen's recent movements.

It has been nearly half a month since he lent money to this guy.

Because he wanted to find other legitimate financial sources, Wu Feng was quite busy recently, going out early and returning late, rarely bumping into Guanzaisen, so he naturally didn't know his recent situation.

"Feng Ge, Guanzaisen lost a lot of money in Macau not long ago!"

"Recently, he hasn't been in the mood to come to the sauna to relax and be chic!"

"A few days ago, a few Macau guys ran to Shanghai Street, found Guanzaisen and forced him to pay back the money, and almost started a fight. This matter even shocked Long Gen, the Mong Kok branch master of Wo Shing!"

"It is said that Guanzaisen has been in a very bad temper for the past few days and is raising money everywhere to pay off debts!"

Deserved!

Wu Feng heard this, and these two words immediately popped up in his heart!

At the same time, he also understood the purpose of Tangge asking him to go to the Hong Yi teahouse to talk.
