015 [closed door soup]
When Xia Xue got the exercise book and saw the dense handwriting on it, she was actually a little unbelievable. It was hard to believe that this book was created by her elder brother.
Because in her opinion, writing books is not an easy task, only literary talent like Jin Yong, Liang Yusheng, and Ni Geng can do it, and the eldest brother doesn’t have a few elegant bones all over his body, writing novels is definitely a fantasy.
But now that I saw the preface of the opening chapter, Xia Xue immediately believed it.
Books express one's aspirations. Every book written by each author will be deeply imprinted with his own mark, which no one can imitate.
Didn’t the elder brother just have a "heroic dream" since he was a child? He wanted to be a hero who was a hero, but for this, he dropped out of school early and practiced martial arts with Master Tang Jia. This once annoyed my father and scolded him for being an unfilial son and not being able to inherit his father's business. He even had to cut off his father-son relationship with him for a while. Even so, it failed to stop the elder brother from continuing to speak out on the "heroic dream".
However, judging from this preface, he seemed to have realized that "the dream of a knight" and "the dream of a hero" are just unrealistic fantasies. At this time, he must have woken up from his dream.
When Xia Xue couldn't help but feel happy for him when she thought of her elder brother finally awakened from the unrealistic fantasy, "It seems that she really opened up the elder brother!" She said happily.
After reading the preface, Xia Xue continued to turn down, and soon she was deeply attracted by the story.
The young man Qisuo made a "knight dream" and went to Shaolin Temple alone to study. However, because his family was poor and could not afford the tuition, he had to act as a target for others to practice boxing. However, Qisuo was not discouraged, but still maintained a positive and optimistic attitude.
More than 20,000 words, I finished reading it in a moment.
Xia Xue was just watching her cheeks, and when she turned back, she saw that it was blank and couldn't help but be stunned, "Brother, what's behind? Qisuo and the little monk Junbao went up the mountain to carry water. What happened next? Could this little monk Junbao be Zhang Sanfeng and Zhenren Zhang, right?"
"I just wrote so much last night. If you want to continue reading, you have to wait until I finish writing." Xia Tian smiled slightly and said, "How about it, do you think I wrote it well?"
"Well, it's not just 'ok', it's even better than those famous artists." Xia Xue praised her. She never likes to read martial arts novels. Even if it is Jin Yong's masterpiece, she only likes to watch "The Legend of Condor Heroes".
However, the book "The Eighth Bronze Man in Shaolin Temple" written by my elder brother is really very fond of her appetite. She does not have so many old grudges, love and hatred, no huge conspiracy that harms the martial arts world, nor does she often kill people and set fire, and cut off her hands and feet. On the contrary, it is full of innocence and childishness, which makes people feel happy after reading it, and still has a lingering fragrance.
"I think it's very good, too." Chen Yixin nodded and praised, "Although I don't know where it's good, I just think it's good."
Hearing his straightforward words, Xia Tian couldn't help laughing, "Since you all agreed, I'm much more relieved. After a while, I'll take a bus to the city and find a newspaper to contribute to it."
"Well, I wish my brother a success!" Xia Xue sincerely wished her.
"Brother Tian, do you want me to accompany you?" Chen Yixin also volunteered.
"No need, I'll just go by myself. You haven't returned to the cinema to work for two days. It's time to report it today." Xia Tian said, "By the way, if you see my master, please ask me for a leave."
"Well, don't worry." Chen Yixin nodded.
"Then I'll start dinner now." Xia Xue hurriedly said.
...
The three of them were having a meal, and suddenly they heard a knock on the door.
"Who would it be so early in the morning?" Chen Yixin asked in confusion.
Xia Xue walked over and opened the door, but her face suddenly changed, "Ah!" screaming.
Xia Tian quickly put down the bowls and chopsticks and rushed up with Chen Yixin, but saw the little brother of buck-fanged to be standing outside the door.
Xia Xue must have seen him before and thought he was here to catch him again, so she couldn't help but scream excitedly.
"Brother Tian!" the little brother greeted awkwardly. He really never thought of scaring Xia Tian's little sister.
"Little sister, it's okay. Let's go back to have a meal. He is here to find me." Xia Tian touched the little sister's head and said.
After hearing what the elder brother said, Xia Xue stopped and said, "What is he asking you for, brother?" She asked in confusion.
"Oh, he's here to get the promotional draft, right?" Xia Tian explained.
"Yes, yes." The man nodded quickly.
"Well, then wait, I'll get it now." Xia Tian said, turning back to the house, and after a moment, he handed a piece of paper to the younger brother. "This is written on it, so let the magazine add a few more photos. I think the promotion effect should be very good."
"Yes, I will tell Brother Bing truthfully." The man said quickly, "By the way, there are five movie tickets here, which were given to you by Brother Bing. He said he hopes you can support him then."
"Okay, I'll try to arrange my time." Xia Tian took the movie ticket and said with a laugh and cry. He has never watched a C-level movie like this in the theater.
"Brother Tian, why did Buck Ya Bing invite you to support me?" Chen Yixin asked curiously.
"It's just to take the opportunity to win people's hearts." Xia Tian waved his hand.
"Several movie tickets are only a few dozen Hong Kong dollars. Do you want to win people's hearts if you have such a little money?" Chen Yixin said speechlessly, "Then are you going or not?"
"Go, why not?" Xia Tian asked back.
"He is a good person." Chen Yixin said with wide eyes. He really didn't understand why Brother Tian wanted to get close to that kind of person.
"So what if he is a black X? A pair of underwear and a piece of toilet paper have its uses." Xia Tian smiled, "He wants to use me to help him make money. Can't I use him?"
"I understand." Chen Yixin suddenly realized that Brother Tian is very smart now, and Buck Ya Bing will definitely steal the chicken this time.
...
After dinner, Xia Tian took the manuscript he wrote and took the bus to the city to submit the manuscript.
His first choice was Ming Pao, which was run by the hero Jin Yong. There are two reasons why he chose Ming Pao. The first is that he has admired Kim Yong for a long time and hopes to meet him. The second is that Ming Pao has a good reputation in Hong Kong and has a very wide sales volume. If he can publish an article in Ming Pao, it will be of great help to enhance his fame.
In the entertainment industry, the most important thing is fame. With popularity, you can make a lot of money. On the contrary, if you don’t have fame, no matter how talented you are, who will take care of you?
I took a minibus from Kowloon Qingshui Bay to Chai Wan, Hong Kong Island, got off the bus, and asked all the way to Ming Pao Building.
"Miss, I'm sorry to bother you." He asked the lady at the front desk with a smile, "I'm here to contribute, I don't know who to look for?"
The lady at the front desk said that she was at least forty years old, but when she heard Xia Tian call her "Miss", a smile suddenly appeared on her face. In addition, Xia Tianren is young and handsome, which makes her feel very good.
"What type of manuscript you sent?" she asked with a smile.
"It's a martial arts novel." Xia Tian replied.
"Oh, then go to the second floor to find Editor He. He is in the second office on the right side of the corner." The lady gave a detailed advice. Xia Tian said Xie was about to leave, but she suddenly said, "Editor He likes to teach people a lesson, but he doesn't like people to talk back to him."
"Thank you, beauty. If you succeed, I will definitely invite you to have tea." Xia Tian said with a smile.
When the lady heard Xia Tian called her "beauty", she suddenly felt even more happy, "Go quickly, he just started work and is in the office now."
Xia Tian nodded and hurriedly took his novel up.
...
Go up to the second floor, and the second office on the right.
Xia Tian knocked on the door gently and heard someone say "Come in", he pushed the door open and walked in with a smile.
"You are..." A man in his thirties sat at the desk, looking up at Xia Tian in surprise and asked.
"You are Editor He. Hello, my name is Xiatian. Today I am here to have a novel that I want to ask you to correct me." Xiatian said respectfully.
"Oh, that's it. Then you put down the novel first, then leave the contact information with the front desk lady, and then inform you of the result after I finished reading it." Editor He said with a stern face and looked like he was doing business.
Xia Tian was stunned for a moment, "Editor He, can you please take a look now? It's only 20,000 words, and it shouldn't be delayed too much of your time." He said hurriedly.
Now he is in urgent need of money. If he is dragged on by Editor He for ten days and half a month, it will be really cold.
"I'll have a meeting with Mr. Cha later. Now there is no time to review your manuscript." Editor He saw that Xia Tian didn't listen to him, and his face suddenly became dark and said, "If you want to keep the manuscript, you can keep it, and if you don't want to keep it, take it away. Young people, without any patience, how can they do big things?"
Xia Tian was taught a lesson by him, and he couldn't help but feel a little angry. "This is really a pain in his back when he stands and speaks without having a back pain. You are not carrying hundreds of thousands of usury on your back. Of course, you don't have to worry." He whispered.
"Then Mr. He, I'll ask you again. How long does it usually take for a novel to pass the review?" Xia Tian asked in the last expectation.
"Young boy, be patient. Let me tell you the truth. Ming Pao is not short of manuscripts at all. Even if your novel passes the review, you have to wait for at least one or two more months if you want to be published in the newspaper." Editor He looked at Xia Tian and said.
If Xia Tian is a well-known Hong Kong writer or recommended by a famous writer, he will still have the heart to greet him. Unfortunately, he has nothing to do with both. Since that is the case, there is no need to waste time.
And he has seen many young people like this. Everyone thinks they are "gifts" and "big writers". After writing a little bullshit article, they want to sell them. They don't think that if the money is so easy to make, then everyone in Hong Kong will become "Ni Geng".
