Chapter 85 Battle for the King

Wang Cheng is also a top figure among Chinese writers. Of course, this refers to popular literature. Although pure literature is elegant, but there are relatively few readers, so it is rare to see their names in front of the rich list of writers.

Wang Cheng has been in the top ten of the list of rich writers since his debut ten years ago. After all, he is the grandson of Wang Ji, a master of Sinology. Although he failed to inherit his ancestral career and study hard, it is not a shame to become a popular literary writer.

Wang Yi's disciples and grandchildren took good care of Wang Cheng, so that he was at a very high starting point as soon as he entered the literary world. Coupled with his talent, his novels immediately caused a great sensation, and Luoyang paper was expensive for a while. Since his fifth year in the industry, he has topped the list of Chinese writers and has been at the top of the list of rich writers. He has ruled the list for six years, and no one can ever surpass him.

In 2000, Wang Cheng successfully defended the top of the list with a royalty income of 31.23 million yuan, but his income was much lower than in previous years. Because in this year, Meng Nanxing was born and the rise of new martial arts novels has separated a large number of readers.

Meng Nanxing's income in 2000 is not in the top ten, but his income of 21 million in eight months is enough to move any publishing person, which is a harbinger of the birth of another king! Almost all publishing people will think that if anyone can break Wang Cheng's six-year rule over the list of rich writers, Meng Nanxing is probably the only one.

Wang Cheng has never doubted his talent. He believes that even if he puts aside his grandfather's influence, he will succeed. Even if the success will come later, the result will not change.

But now his position as king has been challenged, which makes him very angry. What is Meng Nanxing? A farmer's son, who hasn't studied for a few days and doesn't know how many words, writes some so-called vernacular martial arts, which is still very popular. Are readers crazy now? How can you like such a tasteless thing!

But he finally found helplessly that readers still liked Meng Nanxing's works, and many of his fans also turned to Meng Nanxing's command. What's more terrible is that he visited some uncles and uncles and found that they also read Meng Nanxing's martial arts novels. That's the master of Sinology. How can he be so depraved? Wang Chengcheng is heartbroken.

Wang Cheng, who was unwilling to decline in popularity, finally found Meng Nanxing's works and read the complete Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils

After watching it, I was completely shocked. This book seemed to open a window for him to see the magical world of martial arts that he had never seen before.

Xiao Feng, who experienced ups and downs in his life, was sandwiched between the Song people and the Liao people. He couldn't find his identity and committed suicide at Yanmen.

I don't like to practice martial arts and don't want to be an emperor. I am infatuated with Wang Yuyan, but in the end I became a top master and the Duan Yu of the king of Dali.

Murong Fu, the descendant of the fallen royal family, who was like a crown and has both literature and martial arts, and wants to restore the country but ended up crazy. Duan Yu is the heir of the true emperor, but he loves the beauty and would rather abandon the country. What you are chasing is exactly what I have abandoned, and the ridiculousness of life.

Although Wang Cheng doesn't want to face it very much, he has to admit that the literary and artistic achievements of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils are not under his novels. He also watched the serialized Legend of the Condor Heroes and the Affectionate Swordsman's ruthless sword, and didn't like Guo Jing in it very much. He believes that he is extremely smart and unparalleled. He doesn't like Guo Jing's clumsy dullness, but he likes Yang Kang's cleverness, handsome appearance and outstanding temperament. After watching The Affectionate Swordsman's Remless Sword, he was immediately fascinated by Li Xunhuan in it.

In Wang Cheng's view, Li Xunhuan is completely his perfect embodiment. Li Xunhuan was born in a scholarly family, with seven scholars, and father and son three explore flowers. Wang Cheng comes from a family of Sinology and has three generations and two masters. Although he does not study Sinology well, he is also a top figure in the literary world.

Li Xunhuan and Xiao Li Feidao, the example is not bad. Wang Cheng has ruled the list of Chinese writers for six years, and no one can shake it.

Li Xunhuan likes to drink, and Wang Cheng is also happy without alcohol every day. Li Xunhuan is infatuated with Lin Shiyin, and Wang Cheng also has a character in his heart that he will never get but will never forget. Li Xunhuan is loyal to his friend Bo Yuntian, and Wang Cheng also believes that he is a person who value righteousness over profit.

The more he read, the more Wang Cheng felt that Li Xunhuan was him and he was Li Xunhuan. The first thing he wakes up every morning now is to read the "Love Sword of the Swordsman" in the Songjiang Morning News. If the life assistant fails to buy the newspaper in time, he will be furious and not in the mood to work hard all day.

And people who sell the "Shuangniu Newspaper" in Beijing are very popular. Not to mention the price, there are often no newspapers. Wang Cheng's life assistant has no choice but to ship newspapers by planes between Bincheng and the capital every day. But I never thought that there is something called email in this world.

After Wang Cheng fell in love with Li Xunhuan in The Merciless Sword of the Affectionate Sword, he came up with the idea of writing a martial arts novel. First of all, in terms of talent, he thinks that he is far more than Meng Nanxing, and the other party only takes advantage of the subject matter. If he also enters the field of martial arts, he will definitely replace Meng Nanxing as a master in the new martial arts and become the most popular writer among readers again. In addition, he has written a historical series for ten years, and the theme worthy of a book is almost written, but it is time to transform.

After Wang Cheng signed the contract with the Northeast Evening News, the Beijing Evening News began to panic, but it was too late to regret. Qin Zhengxuan, the president of the Beijing Evening News, gritted his teeth in the office and said, "Wang Cheng, an anti-bone boy, jumped from the Northeast Evening News to our newspaper and actually jumped back today. It's really thieves. Humph, Meng Nanxing's martial arts novels are not so easy to surpass. Be careful that martial arts can't be written, and no one will read historical novels in the future.

Wang Cheng will not hear the complaint of the president of the Beijing Evening News, and even if he hears it, he will not take it seriously. At this moment, he is ambitious and happy when he thinks of the situation when his martial arts novels reigned in the world.

The Northeast Evening News also launched a comprehensive publicity. Although Meng Nanxing became famous in less than a year, he became the most popular writer. However, in the minds of many readers, Wang Cheng is the best-selling author in China. Meng Nanxing is red, and the heat is still worse!

Now many readers are very excited to hear that Wang Cheng is going to enter the field of new martial arts novels. Because the new martial arts novels are driven by Meng Nanxing, although they are very popular, the level of other writers who follow the trend is much worse, which makes readers very entangled. Look, the level is much worse than 'Xing Zai'! Don't read it. The days of book shortage are too uncomfortable. Don't mention too much entanglement. Now that Wang Cheng, the top figure in popular literature, has joined this field, readers will not have benefits in the future.

But some fans of Wang Cheng are very dissatisfied, believing that it is a kind of corruption for him not to write classical Chinese historical romances, but to write vernacular martial arts. Fortunately, there are not many readers in this part, which has little impact.

Because of the ruthless swordsman, in fact, Wang Cheng still admires Meng Nanxing in his heart, but out of pride, he will never admit this. In addition, he has always been arrogant and unruly. In an interview with a reporter from the Northeast Evening News, he said that he would write a martial arts novel this year, which would completely surpass Meng Nanxing's works, but it made public opinion an uproar.

The Northeast Evening News published a manuscript written by Wu Weizhong, editor-in-chief of the newspaper, "Wang Jianwang, who is the great hero?": One of them is the best newcomer king who collected 21 million in eight months, and the other is the king of the generation who ruled the top six years of the list of writers and rich writers. However, it will compete for the king in the same field this year, that is, the new martial arts created by Meng Nanxing. Demi-Gods and the Legend of the Condor Heroes are the same and magnificent. The Affectionate Swordsman's ruthless sword has a new way, and the sword is biased. However, they have won the recognition of the market, and Meng Nanxing, who has excellent talent, has pushed the new martial arts to a height that ordinary people can't reach. Looking at the level of those who follow the trend, we will know that perhaps only the entry of Wang Cheng, the king of the best-selling book field, can make the majority of martial arts fans excited! But after all, there will be a difference between the two. In the end, we still need to wait and see who can truly rule the world.

After seeing the report of the Northeast Evening News, Tang Tianhao was still a little worried. The so-called name of people and the shadow of trees, although Wang Cheng's reputation has declined a lot since Meng Nanxing's debut, but in the hearts of many people, Wang Cheng's position in the literary world is still irreplaceable.

Tang Tianhao also has this kind of thought. He frowned and said with a worried face, "Zhang Shao, Wang Cheng now wants to compete with you in the martial arts field. What do you think?"

Zhang Duo smiled and said, "It's okay. He can't affect me." Zhang Duo is full of confidence. After all, the new martial arts novels started when Liang Yusheng wrote "Dragon and Tiger Fight Jinghua" and later fell. In these decades, the highest achievements are Jin and Gu, and Zhang Duo copied the masterpieces of the two. He does not believe that Wang Cheng's books can surpass the two masters of Jin and Gu.

Tang Tianhao saw that Zhang Duo didn't care at all, so he stopped saying anything. After all, some words can only be clicked, but it is difficult to say too clearly.

At this time, Zhang Duo suddenly received a phone call from Jin Yuzhi, who asked him out to meet him on the phone. Looking back on when they first met, the two of them were very close, often together, and they also had a tacit understanding with each other.

But since he established a relationship with Qin Lan, the two have gradually become estranged. In addition, he is always very busy. If Jin Yuzhi hadn't called him today, maybe he wouldn't have noticed that the two haven't seen each other for a long time.

"Hey, Aduo, are you free recently?"

"I have been very busy in the past three months, but since Sister Yuzhi is looking for me, I will be free one day!" Zhang Duo couldn't help smiling.

Is that right? Really? Then I'll pick your busiest day to find you!"

Zhang Duo hurriedly asked for mercy and said, "Don't, Sister Yuzhi, I just said it casually. You are really wrong! Don't tease me so much!"

Jin Yuzhi laughed and said, "Who can't change that nonsense? Of course I have to cure you! It doesn't matter if you talk nonsense in front of me. You can't talk nonsense in front of important leaders!"

Zhang Duo smiled and said, "I promise not. Some time ago, I met a director of the Bureau of Culture, which shocked me. How dare you talk nonsense in front of the big leader!"

"Aduo, my father wants to see you!" Jin Yuzhi said, but Zhang Duo didn't move for a long time. Jin Yuzhi quickly said, "A Duo, although my father is the governor, he is very approachable. Don't be pressured."

Unexpectedly, Zhang Duo said on the phone, "That's too early. I'm not prepared at all!"

Jin Yuzhi listened and shouted at her mobile phone, "Don't talk nonsense. At six o'clock tonight, drive to the provincial party committee family building, Building 2, it's too late, hum!" After saying that, hang up the phone.
