After choosing to be a copycat, Cao Zhiqiang suddenly realized that he didn't know much about the cultural industry of this era, especially the various platforms.

After all, this is not the Internet era. You can’t just write a word online and then find a website to publish it.

So his method is very simple, which is to go to the post office first and find well-known magazines with large sales and high reputation.

It is definitely not bad to find a magazine from a well-known magazine to submit.

After establishing this principle, he quickly selected several magazines and recorded the magazine's submission address.

Next, it’s about writing the article.

At the beginning, he relied on his huge knowledge reserves in his previous life to honestly recall various romance and science fiction short stories he had read in his previous life, and then wrote them down based on memories, and then contributed to various well-known magazines he selected.

However, since it is impossible for him to remember all the specific contents of the works he had seen in his previous life, he copied the plots, creativity and characters of his previous life novels, and then created them through his own pen.

So strictly speaking, the works he contributed to major magazines in the early days cannot be considered plagiarism, but can only be regarded as in-depth reference.

I have to say that Cao Zhiqiang has really encountered a good time. It can be said that his writing copying path was really the right time.

At this time, there was a shortage of entertainment in China, and the reform and opening up had just begun. It had been suppressed for more than ten years, and many people's desire for literary works became vigorous.

Reflective literature, scar literature, and all kinds of messy vulgar literature and little yellow literature are everywhere, and those text reviews and publishing supervision are almost nothing, and they are simply useless.

Unless your work is too explicit and obscene, and someone reports it, or there is a siege order from above, no one will care about you.

Therefore, in the early 1980s, the domestic cultural industry was still in the early stage of reform, lacking real supervision and various thoughts were rampant, which was the spring of literary creation and the era of chaos that grew freely.

In this case, poisonous weeds are easy to produce and famous people.

For example, the one who won the Nobel Prize in Literature later had a high yield period basically during this period.

There is also the guy who won the Nobel Prize in Literature earlier but became a French Chinese because he was admitted to France early. His winning works were also created in the early 1980s.

The reason is very simple, this is the same as the fact that it is easy to become famous in the Warring States Period.

When supervision is strengthened and control is stricter in the future, there will be fewer such people.

In fact, at the beginning, Cao Zhiqiang blossomed in multiple places, focusing on sensational and shocking short stories.

After all, there are many similar works in my previous life, and I have a deep impression of them and I remember them clearly.

He submitted all famous magazines.

For example, Reader Digest, Story Club, Science Pictorial, Science and Art, etc., he has written a lot of corresponding manuscripts to contribute.

Those magazines basically accepted his manuscripts and basically gave him different amounts of manuscript fees.

However, later he discovered that this form of writing short stories and popular science articles in various magazines still makes too little money, and if this continues, it will probably not take long before he will end up.

After all, he is not a real writer, he is just a copywriter.

The manuscripts he submitted before were all well-known short stories he accidentally remembered in his previous life, but the number was not large, most of them were vague, and his knowledge reserves were very limited.

Then one day, he went to a nearby Xinhua Bookstore and wanted to find inspiration and observe the popularity of the market. He found that many people were queuing up to buy "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

That guy is long queueing up.

It's okay, the key is that the set of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" they bought was not cheap, but only two volumes cost 40 yuan!

Two books costing 40 yuan, which is more expensive than his monthly salary.

But even so, everyone still had to queue up to buy it, and they were quickly sold out and they had no choice but to buy it if they were late.

This scene is no less than the situation when Apple phones were popular in later generations, when those queuing up to buy Apple phones in the early morning.

Seeing this situation, he took a breath and finally thought of writing a martial arts novel.

Other things are not good, but if you want to talk about martial arts novels, he will remember a lot. At least he is impressed by the plot and characters, and he will not remember it wrong.

Works like martial arts novels were not flooded in China at this time and were in an early rise.

As long as the content is not related to politics or pornography, martial arts novels are relatively safe, and as long as they are well written, they can be sold.

Yes, martial arts novels are known as adult fairy tales.

In an era when entertainment was still scarce, martial arts novels were very popular.

Especially young people, they are very popular with martial arts novels and are quite hard-core.

The author of new-story martial arts novels like Jin Guliang is now popular all over the country and everyone knows it.

There are also many other martial arts novels written by Wolongsheng and Zhuge Qingyun, and the market is also very wide.

That is to say, at this time, the people all love to read these martial arts novels, which can be called the best era of martial arts novels.

Also, martial arts novels can be published, and when publishing books, the higher the sales volume, the higher your income.

More importantly, domestic printing factories were not relaxed at this time. They were basically state-owned and collective, and they were basically eating big pots, without any self-containment of profit and loss.

Therefore, nowadays, except for the very few shameless collective printing factories in the south, as well as some even more shameless township enterprise printing factories that own small printing machines, most regular printing factories basically do not play pirated.

If it came later, especially in the 1990s, when the printing factory was responsible for its own profits and losses, it would be the real pirated rampant version.

So in the early 1980s, it was really the spring of the original literary creators.

If a book becomes popular at this time, you will sell it for 50,000 or even hundreds of thousands or millions. A book will be a god, buy a car and a house, and make enough money for your whole life. It is not an exaggeration at all.

Hey, it seems that this is the case in later generations?

In short, after understanding this situation, Cao Zhiqiang also wanted to take advantage of the popularity.

Just when Cao Zhiqiang had not yet figured out which famous novel to copy and adapt it.

The next morning, he suddenly signed in and drew something unexpected.

"Three Hundred Selected Modern Martial Arts Novels"!

As the name suggests, it is three hundred classic martial arts novels of modern masters, and of course, it also includes works by Jin Guliang.

Well, since there are other people’s complete ready-made works, I will certainly choose to copy them if I have nothing to say.

So he chose again and again, and finally decided to copy Huang Yi's "Broken Void" first.

This novel is only more than 200,000 words, and the number of words is not large, but the plot is compact, magnificent and rich in imagination.

Especially the concept of breaking the void and sublimating the Tao has simply broken the ceiling of the original martial arts.

He believed that as long as everyone reads the Broken Void and reads other martial arts novels, it will be like chewing wax.

There is no way, the boundaries of thinking are widened and the threshold of happiness is raised.

After all, during this period, most martial arts novels were mostly stuck on the routine of jumping off the cliff and getting adventures, or jumping off the sea to get adventures. Opening up the Ren and Du meridians is often the ceiling of force.

How does this compare to the "Broken Void" with half a foot in the fantasy?

Unfortunately, in this era, he couldn't afford a personal computer, had no keyboard code, and no reliable Chinese character input method, so he could only write it by hand.

In addition, he had to go to work in the factory and welcome and see him off with his colleagues. There were so many things about this and that he couldn't write faster.

Generally speaking, at the beginning, he had a speed of more than three thousand words a day, but later he had a speed of more than five thousand words a day. On average, he had a speed of more than four thousand words a day.

If you have more, you won’t be able to do it, your hands will get sore.

This made him miss the days when he typed the keyboard on his computer.

If he typed the keyboard, he could give his liver a 40,000 words a day on average. In less than a week, he could copy a movie called "Broken Void".

It’s not like now, it’s only more than 4,000 words per day, and it’s so sore in writing.

Alas, when will the tentacle monster be restored to its life.

Keyboard, miss you!

In short, I worked hard to copy the book "Broken Void" with a ballpoint pen for nearly two months. I finally finished copying the book "Broken Void" with more than 200,000 words.

Then he found out that the book had been copied, but he didn't know how to publish it.

Or, I don’t know which platform to find to publish it.
Chapter completed!
