Rebirth of literary style

Chapter 91 Three Heroes Fight for Hegemony

When Zhou Mingde first saw the outline, he felt very interesting. After seeing the first draft of the novel, he found that it was written a hundred times better than he expected. The wind and clouds are depressing and thrilling, which cannot be reflected in the outline at all.

And when readers see the latest "Daily Entertainment News", they admire Wang Cheng's "Dragon Travels the World". After all, in the history of China, except for the founding monarch, such as Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin's martial arts, it is rarely mentioned in history books that the king of Shoucheng can do martial arts. Now I see that the generous and benevolent Ming Xiaozong in the historical Romance is actually a young and handsome martial arts master, but I feel a bright eye. It seems that the mainland audience who saw "Jianlong" for the first time was attracted by the elegant, agile and romantic Qianlong played by Qiu Guan, which caused a sensation.

The Daily Entertainment News was released simultaneously with the Northeast Evening News, so it occupied the convenience of the channel as soon as it was listed, and sold 580,000 copies on the first day. And Wang Cheng is abnormally updating 15,000 words every day, breaking Zhang Duo's previous record of 10,000 words per day. Even Zhou Mingde was shocked. He said that if this person who is used to writing classical Chinese, if he rewrites vernacular and pours water, no one can compare with him!

As soon as Wang Cheng's "Dragon in the World" came out, the martial arts novels in the world became a situation of three heroes competing for hegemony. The Beijing Evening News, which is not afraid of big trouble, has made a Chinese best-selling serial list, among which the magnificent Legend of the Condor Heroes ranks first, and the second is The Affectionate Swordsman's Remerciless Sword, and Wang Cheng's The World ranked third.

Wang Cheng was furious when he saw this list, and his dedicated work was actually ranked third. This "Beijing Evening News" is obviously disgusting! Humph, who made them short-sighted and complare themselves, but they are to blame themselves for being able to have today. Wang Cheng thought in his heart.

The Beijing Evening News felt that the novel had little impact on it, so after Wang Cheng left, it continued to promote historical novels. However, the subsequent lead author cannot be compared with Wang Cheng at all, resulting in the loss of a large number of readers of novels, and the average daily circulation has fallen to less than 1.6 million copies. Now, such a Chinese best-selling serial ranking has been launched. Because the content is very easy to attract attention, it has slightly increased sales.

The Chinese best-selling serial list is called the real version of Baixiaosheng's weapon spectrum by readers. The ranking of the first three novels has caused widespread controversy. Because the styles of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "The Affectionate Swordmerciless Sword" are also divided into two schools, and the novel fans of Wang Cheng's new work "Dragon in the World", the three groups of people are in newspapers, in the newly emerging forums, classrooms, companies, communities, but wherever there are novel fans gather, they are noisy. It can't be handed over.

"shooting fans" think that Li Xunhuan has given his beloved woman to others, not as firm and persistent as Guo Jing's choice in love. "Flying knife fans" think that Liu Xun, the old eun in "Dragon Travels the World"'s martial arts skills are too high and like ghosts. How can a person with such high martial arts skills become eunuchs? It is rare that he can only practice as a eunuch. Fans of "Dragon Travel the World" think that the history of "shooting eagle" and "flying knife" is not enough. There is no wonderful excitement from the struggle between emperors, princes, noble concubines and princes. In short, public opinion is chaotic.

Since it is a martial arts novel, let's talk about the martial arts of the characters in the novel. At this moment, Guo Jing is still a long distance away from the world's first master, and for Wang Chongyang, the first master in the sculpture shooting, there are not many specific descriptions in the book. Only his kung fu is that his kung fu is higher than that of the east and west, and the northern beggars, plus restraining Ouyang Feng's toad skills.

In the Affectionate Swordsman's Merciless Sword, martial arts has become a symbol, and the characters are more of a contest of wisdom, mind and personality.

In "Dragon in the World", Wang Cheng's description of Emperor Xianzong's personal guard old eunuch Liu Xun is extremely frighten. It has reached the point that it can be stagnant. Grass, trees, bamboo and stone can be swords, flying flowers and leaves can be hurt. If there is any martial arts character that can compare with him, maybe there is only the sweeping monk in Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils.

This is even more surprising to readers. What kind of kung fu can be practiced by such a powerful old eunuch? Did he practice his skills first, then become a eunuch, or did he become a eunuch first? Unfortunately, Wang Cheng did not answer these questions in the novel.

When Zhang Duo heard that Wang Cheng had rewritten martial arts novels, he found "Dragon Travels the World" to read, but he was also attracted by the wonderful stories and couldn't help sighing Wang Cheng's unrivaled talent. In the same passage, the great god can write thrilling and gripping. However, street writers can only write and sprinkle dog blood, which makes people chew wax. If it hadn't been for the memory of my previous life, I wouldn't have been as good as such a god!

In June, the martial arts novel market is still a situation of three heroes competing for hegemony. "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is magnificent and the characters are distinct. The ruthless swordsman is far away and the plot is vivid. "Dragon in the World" relies more on the plot to win, and the whole story is intertwined, which makes people unable to stop reading. Coupled with the super update of 15,000 words every day, the two novels are in the forefront, but they can't catch up.

Because in terms of the style of writing, "Dragon Travels the World" is closer to the online novels and cool articles of the previous life. Although the story is wonderful and exciting, it has no connotation. As a result, critics rated it much lower than The Legend of the Condor Heroes and The Affectionate Swordsman's ruthless sword. And people in this era have not yet been able to accept Xiaobai's cool writing, so the defects in artistic achievements eventually affected its sales.

Zhang Duo doesn't care much about these disputes in the outside world. He teaches classes and writes books honestly. When I have free time, I will accompany Qin Lan around, and occasionally find Zhou Qiang and Xu Feng to drink, but not many times.

People's hobbies will change with their own circumstances. In their previous lives, they like to drink to drown their sorrows. Now I'm in a good spirit, but I don't even like to drink wine. Today's Zhang Duo has always been able to hide from banquets, but today's banquets can't be avoided.

It turned out that Jinyutang's trip to the capital was very smooth. After seeing the first 24 chapters of "Bright Sword" written by Zhang Duo, the old man of the Jin family evoked the dusty past in his heart and found several old comrades-in-arms to be drunk, crying, laughing and singing, but scared the health care doctors and the younger generation of the Jin family.

After waking up, Mr. Jin ordered the younger generation of the Jin family to do his best to help Jin Yutang shoot the "Bright Sword".

After getting the old man's affirmative reply, Jin Yutang returned to Bincheng and called Song Siwei, Zhang Duo and Chen Feiyang to celebrate together. At the same time, he also had to consider the preparations of the crew.

Four people opened a private room at Junsheng Hotel and discussed while eating. Song Siwei took the lead in saying, "Let me tell you what I think. Director Chen was born in the capital film studio in his early years and participated in war blockbusters such as "Decisl". I don't know how many other war films have been made, so I think Director Chen is completely fine as the director of "Bright Sword". What's your opinion?

Zhang Duo looked at Jin Yutang, and Jin Yutang said, "I think it's feasible. In addition, Zhang Duo can be the producer and I will be the producer, so that the theme of this TV series will definitely not be off."

Zhang Duo said, "I agree with you. Director Chen is also my teacher. I still trust his skills."

Chen Feiyang was overjoyed to see that all three bosses supported him as a director. He said that he really did not help Zhang Duo in vain. Unexpectedly, he became the vice president of the company in the blink of an eye and gave him the opportunity to direct such a work with unlimited potential.

As the only contract director of the company, Chen Feiyang has naturally read the novel version of Bright Sword. In addition to shock, he often considers the consequences of this novel if it is made into a TV series. Every time he thinks about it, he feels that it will cause a sensation. I thought Zhang Duo would still be addicted to the director, but the pie fell from the sky, but it fell on himself.

Chen Feiyang said modestly, "The three bosses can rest assured that I will shoot this TV series well. In addition, Zhang is always the author of the original novel. If you have any opinions during the shooting process, please feel free to put them forward without thinking too much."

Jin Yutang made fun of him and said, "You old boy, your uncle named you Feiyang, but you are so low-key. Don't you feel ashamed?"

Chen Feiyang smiled and said, "Alas, what a high-profile and low-key is just to support his family and make a living."

Song Siwei shook his head with a smile and looked at Zhang Duo. Zhang Duo also shook his head with a smile and said nothing. Chen Feiyang has no technology, but he has no idea. Perhaps in his opinion, now working as a contracted director in Wanbang is no different from working in the capital film studio in the past. It is all to support his family and make a living. People like him can't be a big director all their lives, but they will definitely have no worries about food and clothing.

Of course, saying that Chen Feiyang has no idea means that he has no ambition to become a big director and does not have the perseverance to stop until his goal is reached, but as far as TV series directors are concerned, he is still very qualified.

In this TV series, Zhang Duo has advanced 5 million in advance, and Jin Yutang has pulled 20 million yuan from the Jin family. After all, the old man made a speech to let everyone have money and make a strong contribution, so although some people in the family were dissatisfied with investing in film and television dramas, they still took out part of the liquidity and invested it.

"Cousin Yu, how do you count these 20 million?" Zhang Duo asked that "Bright Sword" won the annual rating championship in his previous life, and became a rare war drama that had been broadcast on all satellite TV stations. Some TV stations even replayed it as a "save the market drama".

3000 replays in 5 years, you can imagine how much advertising revenue it can bring. Zhang Duo's five million investment will be dividends in the future, but I don't know what the Jin family's 20 million is.

Jin Yutang said awkwardly, "It's a low-interest loan for us, and the risk is still up to us!"
