Rebirth of literary style

Chapter 107 Book and Sword Enmity

Jiang Xiancheng did not show weakness and said, "Oh, if one day, Chief Editor-in-Chief Zhao wants to find a job, we can reserve a place for you!"

Zhao Dekang said with a gloomily smile, "I don't have a quarrel with you. You are standing here now, and we still have colleagues. Out of this door, I will see you in the future, that is, each of you are the enemy of your lord. At that time, you will win or lose, and you must rely on your own means to blame others!"

Jiang Xiancheng praised: "Yes, success or failure depends on each other's means. Of course, you can't blame others. Editor-in-Chief Zhao, goodbye!" Jiang Xiancheng said that and turned around and strode out of the office.

Looking at Jiang Xiancheng going out, Zhao Dekang, who had just been very strong, suddenly fell down, coughing and was even more worried. Although Jiang Xiancheng is quite talented, even if he runs away, it will have little impact on the publishing house. But Zhang Duo's independence has a great impact on Songjiang People's Publishing House.

You should know that the novels published under the name of Zhang Duo alone now account for half of the annual distribution of Songjiang People's Publishing House, and now Zhang Duo's independence indicates that half of the publishing house is gone. Not to mention him, even the president, he can't socialize with the general public!

Zhao Dekang thought about how to explain to the president and not to Huaxia People's Publishing House. However, Zhang Duo, Jiang Xiancheng and Tang Tianhao sat together for dinner and discussed the preparation of the book distribution company.

Nowadays, the Songjiang Morning Post is developing rapidly, with an average daily circulation of more than 1.3 million copies. The whole northern city of China is basically covered, and the scale of the newspaper has expanded sharply, with more than 600 employees. Now that the book distribution company is about to prepare, Zhang Duo wants to remove manpower from the newspaper.

Tang Tianhao is now ambitious and just wants to cover the whole country as soon as possible. However, Zhang Duo chose to withdraw the manpower of his newspaper at this moment, holding the momentum of expansion, making him very unhappy. Even drinking, he has no energy.

Seeing this, Zhang Duo said with a smile, "Uncle Tang, don't get emotional!"

Tang Tianhao took a sip of wine and said, "Mr. Zhang, it's not that I, Lao Tang, don't know the general situation. It's really a rare opportunity! Now "Dragon Ove" is popular on the screen, and "The Return of the Condor Heroes" is also widely praised. It is a good time to show their ambitions and expand the market, but you really missed a good opportunity to draw people!"

Zhang Duo said in his heart that when the matter between the little dragon girl and Yin Zhiping comes out, it is estimated that readers will scold them. Even if they are lucky enough to keep the current market, there is no room for expansion!

"Uncle Tang, the plot below "The Return of the Condor Heroes" will be very abusive, and it is estimated that the reader's reaction will be very large, and it is not impossible to unsubscribe from large-scale newspapers, so don't expand to the south at this stage!"

Tang Tianhao was surprised and said, "Who are you going to abuse? Yang Guo is still the little dragon girl, Guo Jing is still Huang Rong, my Zhang Shao, you have to think clearly. Nowadays, people read novels just for a cool word. Ordinary people really can't stand it!"

Zhang Duoxin said, I don't want to, but he can't stop copying the scenes designed by Jin Yong, otherwise the following "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" will not be incoherent. If it is changed, he doesn't have the ability, and he can only let nature take its course.

Zhang Duo said, "Let's talk about this later. I'll give you the manuscript in the evening. Let's talk about the book distribution company first!"

Seeing that the topic turned here, Jiang Xiancheng said, "Zhang Shao, have you thought about the name of the book distribution company?" Jiang Xiancheng used to call him Aduo, but now he has become Zhang Duo's subordinate, but he also changed his name to Zhang Shao like Tang Tianhao. Zhang Duo was not used to it at first, but he still put up with it. Otherwise, Tang Tianhao called him Zhang Shao, but Jiang Xiancheng called him Aduo, and anyone would feel awkward.

Zhang Duo said, "I think the temporary idea is to call it Wansheng Book Distribution Company. If you have a good name, you might as well put it up."

The two shook their heads at the same time, saying no. Jiang Xiancheng said, "The days of living with a stewardess, Tianlong Babu, the Legend of the Condor Heroes, and the ruthless swordsman are all in Songjiang People's Publishing House. Our book distribution company has opened. Would it be too monotonous to publish only one volume of Condor Heroes?"

"There is also a bright sword, which is the original novel of the TV series being filmed. In addition, I will also publish some martial arts novels. These books will not be serialized in newspapers, but directly published!"

Jiang Xiancheng has heard that Wanbang Company is shooting Liang Jian. He knows that it is a 30 million production, but he just doesn't know about other martial arts novels mentioned by Zhang Duo. So he asked, "Zhang Shao, what's wrong with the directly published martial arts novel you mentioned?"

It turned out that Zhang Duo intended to show Mr. Jin Yong's other martial arts novels in the world, such as "Book and Sword Enmity" and Chivalry.

Compared with Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, the Condor Trilogy, Smiling Proud Jianghu and The Deer Tripod, the achievements of these books are slightly lower. Zhang Duo did not intend to serialize them in newspapers. Now the book distribution company is about to open, but it happens to use them to support the company.

"Uncle Jiang, you are knowledgeable and knowledgeable. Have you ever heard the legend that Emperor Qianlong is a Han Chinese?"

Jiang Xiancheng laughed and said, "You can ask the right person. My family's ancestral home is Haining, Zhejiang Province. Is it after moving to Northeast China or after the founding of the People's Republic of China? When I grew up, I went back to my hometown and saw the stone carvings of Emperor Qianlong's imperial poems. In childhood, I also heard the story of my father and brother about Qianlong's birth... It is said that Hongli's mother gave birth to a girl for Yongzheng. On the same day, Chen Ge of Haining also gave birth to a boy. Yongzheng's wife was worried that she could not please Yongzheng after giving birth to a girl, so she gave birth to a wonderful plan to steal a beam for a pillar: replace a man with a woman, and use Chen Gelao. *Replace the * you gave birth to. As a result, the son of Haining Chen Gelao became the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and this emperor was Qianlong.

Tang Tianhao is also a knowledgeable person and said, "I have also heard this story. Zhang Shao, don't you want to use this half-tru and half-false story to make up a martial arts novel!"

Zhang Duo laughed and said, "That's it. The name of this novel is Book and Sword Enmity."

"Book and Sword Enmity" is Mr. Jin Yong's first long martial arts novel, which caused a great sensation when it was first serialized. The novel combines history and legend with reality, and combines historical brushwork with poetry to draw a magnificent historical scroll.

In the "Book and Sword Enmity Record" starring the official in the 76th year of his previous life, Qiu Guan played the role of a triangle, and at the same time played Chen Jialuo, Qianlong and Fu Kang'an, which caused a sensation in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia, and jumped from a front-line student of TVB to the chief student in the Hong Kong TV circle.

Although "Book and Sword Enmity" has caused a sensation in newspapers and TV series, it still can't cover up the shortcomings of this book. The biggest failure is Chen Jialuo, the first protagonist in the book, which is a failed artistic image. He dragged Song Jiang's braid behind his back. Chen Jialuo's Achilles's weakness cast a shadow on the whole book by giving Qianlong again and again, and even giving his beloved woman to his brother as a plaything.

Another reason is that "Book and Sword" is a "group play" and the protagonist is a "red flower meeting", not one or two people. There are a total of 14 "owners" in the Red Flower Club. Although several of them are prominent, they inevitably spread the appeal, so that there is no one of the most special characters.

Martial arts novels have a characteristic, which are quite individual. Readers read martial arts novels and require individual spiritual satisfaction. The stronger the color of individual heroism, the more prominent the individual's image is, the more acceptable it will be. Several main characters in Book and Sword are not well written, but a few minor characters, which are vivid and admirable.

It is precisely because of the above reasons that Zhang Duo never thought of writing "Book and Sword Enmity Record" at first. After taking a stake in Wanbang, he remembered the sensation caused by Qiu Guan's starring "Book and Sword Enmity Record" in his previous life. He felt that it was a little pity not to write it and make it into a TV series. In addition, now that the book distribution company is about to be established, he I am determined to write some martial arts novels with low achievements by the three martial arts masters, Jin, Gu and Liang, and publish them directly.

Jiang Xiancheng asked, "What does "Book and Sword Enmity" talk about?"

Zhang Duo briefly talked about the content of the novel, and Jiang Xiancheng and Tang Tianhao both clap their hands and thought it was feasible. Several people said something about the preparation of the book distribution company. They ate and drank and discussed for a long time before dispersing.

In the evening, when Tang Tianhao saw Zhang Duo's manuscript, he was stunned, angrily, bitter, and painfully advised: "Zhang Shao, A Duo, you can't write like this, you... You are self-extricated from the readers and the people! This is too unacceptable. How can you write about the little dragon girl like this? If you write like this, it will only make your readers abandon you, let your fame dissipate, let the Songjiang Morning News decline, and make your relatives hurt and enemies happy!" Tang Tianhao said that in the end, he almost burst into tears.

Zhang Duo had no choice but to persuade him: "Uncle Tang, this is a martial arts novel that mainly describes great love, and there is no perfect love in this world. Only those who have experienced all kinds of ups and downs and hardships and should not have their original ambitions in the end and still love each other deeply are great love. . This book may not be accepted by readers for a while, but it will definitely become a landmark work in the end!"

Tang Tianhao knows that Zhang Duo is soft on the outside and strong on the inside and looks easy to talk to on the surface, but once he makes a decision in his heart, it is extremely difficult to change. Knowing that there is no change, I can only sigh, "Since you insist on doing so, I have no other way but to stabilize the existing market as much as possible. I hope the sales volume will not fall too much!"

The next day, as soon as the serialization of the reissue of Songjiang Morning Post was launched, careful readers found something wrong. The little dragon girl was hit by Ouyang Feng, but at this moment, Yang Guo was learning martial arts from Ouyang Feng, while Yin Zhiping appeared nearby sneakily and untidy. Coupled with the reaction of the little dragon girl after the event, she couldn't help but have a terrible idea in the reader's heart!
