Chapter 78 See the Flying Knife Again
May 1 is the day when Songjiang Morning Post was re-listed after a month of suspension and rectification. Tang Tianhao came to the newspaper early and looked at the busy employees in the office area.
At present, the Songjiang Morning Post has nearly 100 employees. Although it cannot be compared with the Northeast Evening News, which has expanded rapidly to thousands of people, and it cannot be compared with the official Songjiang People's Daily, but Meng Nanxing is enough. Jianghu rumors that Meng Nanxing's appeal in the newspaper industry can reach one million copies. Although this statement is suspected of exaggeration, Tang Tianhao believes that there are still 800,000 copies.
Of course, even if Meng Nanxing really has a million appeal, it will not be reflected in the Songjiang Morning Post for a while. Because the Northeast Evening News was a large newspaper in the northeast before serializing Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, covering Beijing and Tianjin, with an average daily circulation of more than one million copies. The Songjiang Morning Post was only a third-rate tabloid with an average daily circulation of less than 200,000 copies, which could only cover Songjiang Province. In terms of market coverage, the two newspapers were too different.
Although the average daily circulation of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" was serialized to 260,000 copies, it is estimated that the popularity has been almost lost after a month of suspension.
So Tang Tianhao was very cautious and only printed 100,000 copies, trying to see the market's reaction first. To his surprise, the market response was super strong. Newspaper booths in various cities and counties in Songjiang Province were surrounded by a group of people who bought newspapers early, mostly young people. At about seven o'clock in the morning, the newspaper delivery came, and the crowd surrounded. The frightened newspaper sender is just a terr.
After the newspaper was taken into the newsstand, people scrambled to raise their money to buy newspapers, which made the uncles and aunts who sold newspapers stunned. The newspaper bought quickly opened the supplement of the serial novel and read it impatiently. Those who failed to grab it suddenly beat their chests and were restless.
100,000 newspapers were robbed almost at the moment of listing. The news was sent back to the Songjiang Morning Post. Tang Tianhao was stunned at first, then overjoyed and quickly arranged people to print.
I have to admit that although Zhou Mingde borrowed Zhang Duo's momentum, the resumption of Songjiang Morning News was able to start, and he still borrowed the light of the "Songjiang Cup" novel competition. Most of these people who come early to buy newspapers are those who sign up for the competition or are very concerned about the novel competition. They hurried over to see what Meng Nanxing's new novel was.
A young man with short hair and always disdainful expression laughed and said, "Sure enough, sure enough, he has changed a new style! Sure enough, he is a person who dares to innovate and try. In this way, my book is more strange and new than Meng Nanxing's. Maybe it can stand out in the game and become popular!"
On this day, too many people cried at the Songjiang Morning Post and laughed at the Songjiang Morning Post. The crying person sighed about the amazingness of Meng Nanxing's new book. He was too far away from him and only felt that there was little hope. If he could not win the "Songjiang Cup" novel competition, how could he become the next Meng Nanxing?
Laughers often think that Meng Nanxing's new book is nothing more than this, especially Li Xunhuan, who has been coughing, and an alcoholic. If Li Xunhuan is the protagonist of this book, then Meng Nanxing is really hopeless.
"Diao fans" are often used to coming out to buy the Northeast Evening News at noon, and almost everyone in the province will ask for another Songjiang Morning Post. Fortunately, the printed newspaper has been on the market at this time, so you don't have to worry about not buying it.
Although Li Junhao signed up for the "Songjiang Cup" novel competition, his heart is not so extreme. He believes that it is a good thing to be famous. Even if he fails to win the prize, it is good to participate in such a grand event.
He came out to buy newspapers at noon, and naturally asked for Northeast Evening News and Songjiang Morning News. The boss asked him if he wanted to write another "Beijing Evening News". Wang Cheng's "The Complete Biography of the Ming Dynasty" was written about the Battle of Jingnan. It was very wonderful!
He was stunned and found that he had not read the Beijing Evening News for a long time. Li Junhao shook his head with a smile and returned to the company with two newspapers. He returned to his seat and opened the Northeast Evening News first. At this time, the Legend of the Condor Heroes had been serialized to 610,000 words, more than half of the text.
Guo Jing and Huang Rong in the book walked together and met an old beggar with a strange behavior by the Yangtze River. This old beggar is Hong Qigong, the "Northern Beggar" among the five unique. Hong Qigong liked Guo Jing's simplicity and loyalty, and he liked Huang Rong's cleverness and agility, so he put the two into the door wall and gave Guo Jing the 18 palms of his life's masterpieces.
Guo Jing and Huang Rong bid farewell to Hong Qigong and continued to travel south. They met Yang Kang, the imperial envoy of the State of Jin, who was intercepted by the heroes of Taihu Lake, and Duan Tiande, an officer of the Southern Song Dynasty who killed Guo Xiaotian. Yang Kang killed Duan Tiande and learned from the origin of Guo Yang's two families and his own background. Yang Kang promised to break with Wanyan Honglie and make up with Guo Jing, but he was finally reluctant to give up with Wanyan Honglie and leaked Guo Jingbei's plan to assassinate Wanyan Honglie. Guo Jing couldn't be assassinated, so he hired a boat to go into the sea with Huang Rong and rushed to Taohua Island. On the island, he happened to meet Zhou Botong, a martial arts master of Quanzhen, and married Jinlan with this "old naughty boy" who was crazy about martial arts, and was taught by Zhou Botong the unique skill of "mutual knowledge and distraction", and recited the peerless martial arts in this book. ——Jiuyin Zhenjing.
After the Taohua Island martial arts competition, Guo Jing tampered with the scriptures for Ouyang Feng on the sea boat. Hong Qigong was seriously injured by the "Western poison" Ouyang Feng, and Ouyang Ke was crushed by Huang Rong's calculation.
After reading it, Li Junhao took a long breath. Because in the process of reading, he only felt that these people and things, one after another, were interlocked and reluctant, and he only felt thrilling. Xing Zai has shaped characters with very different personalities and different experiences with extraordinary imagination. Under the vast history*, the legendary story of "the magical power in the eastern evil and poisonous southern emperors and northern beggars" was written. With the ingenious arrangement of the waves and delicate psychological description, the martial arts novels became a work of art that can't bear to read, recall and high-five.
After reading the Legend of the Condor Heroes, Li Junhao went to the toilet to smoke a cigarette, calmed down, and then came back to watch The Affectionate Swordsman Remless Sword. As soon as he opened the reissue, he found that this novel was completely different from Demi-Gods and Dragons and The Legend of the Condor Heroes. If it hadn't been for Meng Nanxing's brain-damaged fan, he would have doubted whether this book was plagiarized.
This is completely two styles. The ruthless swordsman opens with many short sentences and is good at creating an atmosphere. The description of the characters' behavior is concise and concise, as powerful as carved stones, giving people an amazing feeling. The book is full of suspense, implicit philosophy and fascinating.
A Fei killed the white snake in the hotel. Zhuge Lei, who was forced by the white snake to kneel on the ground to spare the table, attacked A Fei. After being rescued by Li Xunhuan, the two began a dialogue.
He suddenly said, "Do you know why he wanted to kill you?"
The teenager said, "I don't know."
Li Xunhuan said, "Although the white snake did not kill him, it has made it impossible for him to stand in the world. If you kill the white snake again, he can only raise his eyebrows and brag about himself in the future, so he must kill you. The hearts of the people in the world are so dangerous that you can't imagine."
The teenager was silent for a long time and muttered, "Sometimes people' hearts are indeed much more vicious than tiger wolf. When tiger wolf wants to eat you, at least let you know first."
After drinking a bowl of wine, he suddenly said, "But I have only heard people say that tiger wolves are vicious, but I have never heard tiger wolves say that people are vicious. In fact, tigers and wolves only kill people for survival, but people can kill people for no reason, and as far as I know, people kill more people than tiger wolves."
Li Xunhuan stared on him and said slowly, "So you'd rather make friends with tiger and wolf?"
The teenager was silent for a long time, suddenly smiled and said, "It's a pity that they can't drink."
After reading it, Li Junhao was as happy as drinking cold beer on dog days. He really wanted to secretly Skip his work, find a barbecue stall, drink beer, and watch Meng Nanxing's "Love Swordman Remerciless Sword".
That night, when the sales data was sent back to the Songjiang Morning Post, Tang Tianhao looked at the report and only felt that his heart was beating fast. 270,000 copies, I didn't expect to get 270,000 good results on the first day of publication. It seems that the one-month suspension and rectification have no impact, which is simply a bloody resurrection in place!
Because the coverage of Songjiang Morning Post is very narrow, you can't buy it out of Songjiang Province. Therefore, Xingzai fans distributed all over the country are very depressed. They can't see Meng Nanxing's new book in the first time, and can only look through the book reviews of major newspapers the next day to relieve their lusciousness.
The comments of the Beijing Evening News are relatively brief, "I guess Meng Nanxing must be reading a collection of poems when he wrote this book, otherwise how could he write such a poetic martial arts novel. But I want to remind him that the courage to innovate does not mean random innovation. Prose plus poetry plus martial arts novels plus hidden weapons plus alcoholics cannot be equal to great works. If Jiang Lang is exhausted and his skills stop here, I advise him to go back and study hard. After all, 21,000 million is enough for him to spend his life, provided that he is just a rotten and depraved life!"
The whole book review is full of irony, especially when it comes to 212 million, readers can read the sour smell, but they also envy Meng Nanxing's wealth and hate that they are not the next famous writer.
The book review published in the Southern New Evening News is Flying Knife, See the Flying Knife again: In previous martial arts novels, hidden weapons were used by despicable and dirty villains, and decent disciples of famous families disdain to practice. Li Xunhuan in the book uses a flying knife as a weapon. Presumably, the author wants to break the unspoken rules of martial arts novels, which shows his ambition. The novel "The First Knife in the World" serialized in Chu Tian Daily last year is a martial arts novel in which the protagonist uses a flying knife as a weapon. The beginning is also extremely amazing. Unfortunately, in the middle period, the author can't control the plot, and finally let the protagonist embark on the road of dark arrows to hurt people, which is really annoying. I hope Meng Nanxing's innovation can succeed and show us a different world of martial arts.
