Chapter 71 Public Opinion Volturge

Today's Reference is the newspaper with the first circulation in China and the fifth in the world, with an average circulation of 3.4 million copies per day. There is no doubt about its influence in China. The impact of standing up at such a ** moment and giving praise to the Legend of the Condor Heroes is immeasurable.

Xu Jingnian, editor-in-chief of Today's Reference and a famous literary critic, published a commentator's article "One Promise to Others, Two Wrong Swords", in which he spared no effort to praise Ke Zhenwei, the first of the seven monsters in the south of the Yangtze River.

He is called upright and selfless, heroic and generous, and hateful. He has a strong local atmosphere, attaches importance to patriarchy, and takes traditional social norms as a sacred model that cannot be violated; he is not afraid of difficulties and dares to fight. The kindness and resentment are clear, the love and evil are strong, the brain is closed, the imagination is not, and the reason is unreasonable; the temperament is irritable, and he often hurts people or speaks evil words, and his martial arts are not as good as others. But in general, he is still an open and aboveboard man.

Betting with Qiu Chuji, he rushed all the way to Mongolia to teach Guo Jing's martial arts. This matter spread in the world, and it was said that the seven monsters in the south of the Yangtze River would be fulfilled.

In terms of character creation and plot arrangement, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" breaks the legend of traditional martial arts novels, takes the character as the plot vassal mode, adheres to the creation of a personalized character image as the center, adheres to the character commander story, and sets it according to the development needs of the character and its inner possibility and inevitability. The plot makes the novel reach a strange but truly wonderful situation.

Xu Jingnian began with Ke Zhen, the head of the "Seven Monsters in the south of the Yangtze River" and analyzed the "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", which praised the noble character of a promise, and also pointed out the biggest difference between the Legend of the Condor Heroes and traditional martial arts novels.

From Huang Rong's point of view, the old blind man who always scolds her as a "little witch" is indeed an unpleasant character, but Ke Zhen is indeed a good man. In The Return of the Condor Heroes, Ke Zhenvil learned from the Mongolian general that Guo Xiang was captured by the Mongols. When he rushed back to Xiangyang to report the news, he happened to meet four people from Shatongtian. The four were imprisoned in the Chongyang Palace and escaped when the Quanzhen religion was in trouble. Fearing that Ke Zhen would leak their news, he wanted to kill them immediately, but Ke Zhen pleaded for a few days and came back to die after sending the news.

Ke Zhen viciously vowed not to tell their news and brought Jiuhua Yulu pills to treat their hidden diseases. At that time, Sha Tongtian said, "Old man Ke is the head of the seven monsters in the south of the Yangtze River. At that time, they made a bet with the heinous old road and rushed to Mongolia to teach Guo Jing martial arts. Rumors all said that the seven monsters in the south of the Yangtze River would be fulfilled. Let's just let him go for the sake of this matter.

Ke Zhenvil later kept his promise and returned to the Iron Gun Temple. You can't like it, but you can't help admiring it.

In front of a newsstand in Bincheng, Li Junhao is buying newspapers. As a big fan of Meng Nanxing, he runs out at noon every day. When I bought the Northeast Evening News today, the old man who sold the newspaper said, "Today's Reference" published a review of The Legend of the Condor Heroes. Would you like to have a copy?"

Li Junhao was shocked: "What did you say?" Today's reference review of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"? Damn, it's like being on CCTV News! Give me a copy!"

Li Junhao took the newspaper and muttered while reading it: "Damn, this blind man is not good at martial arts and has a good temper. What's there to write about!"

After he read it, although he still felt a little awkward, he couldn't say: "Look at his analysis, this Ke Zhen's evil is really manly. As soon as he promised others, he made a mistake. Looking for Li Ping for six years, he has traveled thousands of miles to the desert. Ke Zhen deserves the name of a hero!"

At noon that day, the Northeast Evening News covers newspapers and kiosks in various cities across the country. Everyone who comes to buy newspapers will be asked a question. Today's Reference published a review of The Legend of the Condor Heroes. Do you want to make a copy?

Readers were stunned, somewhat disbelieved, and then bought a copy of Today's Reference. In one sentence, Today's Reference, which has always been in a stable position, soared 300,000 copies on this day, and was printed twice to meet the needs of readers. It can be said that on average, one out of every seven readers of the Northeast Evening News bought Today's Reference because of this review. Of course, this is just a rumor from later good people about this matter, but it is not enough.

The next day, major media across the country, newspapers that were still alive and had not been suspended, wrote articles praising the Legend of the Condor Heroes. Just like the words of the leader of the Jianghu League and the little brothers waving their flags and shouting, although they flattered the suspicion of Today's Reference, the quality of the novel is not too much.

Unfortunately, the plot of the novel has not been fully unfolded, and there are only a few characters worth discussing. As a result, many newspapers commented on a character. As a result, the newspaper published and found that everyone said was almost the same, which was embarrassing for a while.

Naturally, the most popular one here is Huang Rong, which combines the aura of heaven and earth. It is gorgeous in the world, smart, exquisite, versatile, ancient and modern. In short, the good words are pressed on Huang Rong as if they were free of charge. As for Guo Jing, it's a little miserable. The media is that he is simple and straightforward, filial piety, and simple. Zhang Duo couldn't help laughing and remembered a joke he had heard in his previous life.

When Hong Qigong taught Guo Jing martial arts, he found that Guo Jing was very stupid. He couldn't help saying, Jinger, why are you so stupid? Guo Jing smiled and said, my former seven masters also said the same thing about me, but later...! Hong Qigong said, did you become smart later? Guo Jing said, no, they got used to it later!

Of course, not all the media praised the Biography of the Condor Heroes, and the Beijing Evening News published Wang Cheng's critical article, saying that the language of The Legend of the Condor Heroes is straightforward, the story is strange, the characters are thin, and its actions are illogical.

Under the praise of the media, the whole society has set off a public opinion frenzy to discuss The Legend of the Condor Heroes. Even some places that cupped and pinched their feet carried out activities of "pug to deliver newspapers" and "pinching their feet to deliver newspapers". After work, Li Junhao wanted to come out to relax. He knew that he pinched his feet and received ten newspapers. Chapters 1 to 10 of The Legend of the Condor Heroes. Although he had a collection at home, he still took it. As the saying goes, "Anywhere there is well water, you can sing willow lyrics." It can be seen that the literature that grassroots people like is really good literature!

In the newspaper "Today's Reference", Xu Jingnian, the editor-in-chief, is like an old scholar, in his early fifties, polite and handsome. He sat straight in a chair and said, "I just wrote an article according to your meaning, but I never thought that it would cause such a big response!" 300,000 copies, "Today's Reference" has not caused such a sensation for a long time.

The old man opposite has black hair and bright hair and is combed very neatly. It is actually Wei Wenzhao who launched the "anti-vuls" movement. He laughed and said, "That's the inert hearts of your newspaper. You are the largest newspaper in China and stable readers of government agencies. How can you be as deliberate and sensational as market-oriented newspapers!"

Xu Jingnian frowned, then unfolded and said slowly, "Brother Wen Zhao said very much! Compared with those market-oriented newspapers, such as the Northeast Evening News, we are indeed less sharp.

Wei Wenzhao said, "This problem can't be changed by you and me, so don't worry about it!"

Xu Jingnian smiled and said, "Yes, don't think about things that can't be changed. By the way, Brother Wen Zhao, you haven't told me why you want me to write an article to praise a vernacular martial arts novel? You are one of the initiators of the "anti-vulgar" movement, and I still remember your article vividly.

Wei Wenzhao said righteously, "What does Brother Jingnian think of Meng Nanxing?"

"It's hard to say about other aspects!"

Wei Wenzhao said, "It's true. To be honest, I like his Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils very much, and I also love those things in the Ming Dynasty. I launched the "anti-vulgar" movement to oppose vulgar, vulgar, vulgar and popular historical books, but the classic martial arts that explore human nature are not included. I'm right from people, but I just want to take this opportunity to rectify the atmosphere of the literary world, but I have no prejudice against Meng Nanxing.

Xu Jingnian sneered and said, "But after all, you are still mixed with Feng Xuanqing. Meng Nanxing is also hit by you. You are so sorry that you want to help him in the book Legend of the Condor Heroes?"

Wei Wenzhao sighed, "People in the world can't help it!" If you want to achieve your goal, you have to do something against your will. I just want to have a clear conscience!"

Xu Jingnian listened and understood his old friend. At that moment, he persuaded him, "Brother Wen Zhao doesn't have to be too care. After all, you are also trying to rectify the literary atmosphere. Even if it hurts Meng Nanxing, we just compensate him. Now the serialization of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has almost reached 300,000 words. It is estimated that the first volume of the single book is already under preparation. Under this public opinion frenzy, it is difficult to lower the sales of the first volume!"

Xu Jingnian's judgment is not wrong. Songjiang People's Publishing House has long been preparing the first single book of The Legend of the Condor Heroes, and it will go on sale after more than 300,000 serialized in the newspaper.

Although Songjiang People's Publishing House has not been as famous and famous as the Northeast Evening News in this half year, it is a rich man. In the list of the top ten bestsellers in 2000, Meng Nanxing's Days of Living with Stewardess and the first two volumes of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils were all listed. Among them, the fourth volume serialized the Shaoshiyama War temporarily ranked first in the list of the top ten best-selling books in 2001 with the ultra-high sales of 228 volumes.

After the serialization of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, Songjiang People's Publishing House intended to publish a collection of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, but was stopped by Zhang Duo. He has his own idea, which is to wait until the TV series is released before the collection. One is to give the market a time to digest, and the other is to hope to influence each other and form a benign interaction with TV series. Therefore, the publication of the single edition of The Legend of the Condor Heroes is the most important and most anticipated activity of Songjiang People's Publishing House at present.
