Chapter 244 Side Description
On September 1, countless novel enthusiasts gathered early in front of the newsstands to see what Zhang Duo's new book was. Like the Northeast Evening News, Songjiang People's Publishing House has already sent people to guard in front of the newspaper booth, waiting for the Songjiang Morning News to be listed!
"Hey, do you think Xingzai will write overhead martial arts? If he writes it, maybe it's better than Zhou Yuemin's?" A student-like girl said.
"Not necessarily. The overhead novel was written by Zhou Yuemin first. Will Xing Zai follow his style?" The boy who came with her said doubtfully.
Li Junhao, who was waiting to buy the newspaper, said with a smile, "I want to say that Xingzai will still be a martial arts this time, but it will be very different from previous works!"
"How do you know?" The girl asked.
"Have you ever seen when Xing Zai's novels have repeated themes or artistic conceptions?" Li Junhao asked back.
"That's true. Every novel of Xingzai is very meaningful and there is no routine. Unlike what Zhou Yuemin wrote, it's just like that back and forth!" The girl said.
"But Zhou Yuemin's novels are very good to read!" Boys don't agree.
"Well, if you like Zhou Yuemin's book, don't stand here with me!" The girl said angrily.
When the boy saw that the girl was unhappy, he was so scared that he quickly begged for mercy and said, "Xiaoyu, I'm wrong. Don't be angry with me, okay?"
The girl is not a messy type. Seeing that the boy is soft and in front of so many people, she just said, "Well, I'll settle with you when I go back!" Then stop talking.
Li Junhao looked at a fighting little couple and felt both funny and sad. His former girlfriend felt that he knew how to read novels all day and had little future, so she resolutely broke up with him. If his ex-girlfriend liked Zhang Duo's books so much as the girl in front of him, he would not be alone now.
After more than seven o'clock, Songjiang Morning Post sent it, and everyone rushed to buy it. Li Junhao didn't care about looking at the girl next to him. He paid for it and fell in love with it by the roadside.
After taking the newspaper and turning to the part of the novel, Li Junhao was stunned, because the title of the book was "Smiling Proud Jianghu", but the title of the first chapter was extinct (1).
"No, does Xingzai want to take the old path of old martial arts, destroy the door, learn art, and revenge?" Li Junhao said in disbelief. At this moment, there are many people who have the same idea as Li Junhao.
In the newspaper of the Northeast Evening News, Zhou Mingde looked at the newspaper in front of him and read the first chapter word by word. He still couldn't believe it. The routine of destroying the door, learning art and revenge has been declared dead after Zhang Duo published Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils. If there are still martial arts novels written according to such a routine, they will definitely jump to grandma's house.
But what Zhang Duo wrote is different. Although his popularity has decreased slightly, he is still one of the most appealing writers. Almost all people think that if Zhang Duo writes like this, there will definitely be new ideas later, but they don't know when it will appear.
However, Zhou Yuemin didn't think so. After reading "Smiling Proud Jianghu", he grouped the newspaper and threw it in the paper basket and sneered, "Huh, Zhang Duo, it turned out to be nothing. I thought you would follow my style and write about the most popular overhead martial arts! Unexpectedly, I was so conservative as to write about old martial arts. I'd like to see what tricks you can play!"
In the capital, in Dai Anmin's office, Wang Cheng sat on the sofa. After watching Xiao Ao Jianghu, he couldn't help admiring: "Yes, yes, this Duo's skills are getting deeper and deeper. At such a simple beginning, the scene, characters and the scene written by the match changes with the situation. It changes endlessly and fits life. It can be called everyone's demeanor.
Da Anmin, who sat behind his desk, put down the document and asked, "What, do you think this book is very good?"
Wang Cheng smiled and said, "Okay, it depends on the plot later. All I praise is his skills. But I'm still more optimistic about Zhang Duo!"
"Oh, we are shooting "Xunming Ji" now. If Zhang Duo steals Zhou Yuemin's limelight, it will be bad for us!" After thinking about it, Dai Anmin said with some concern.
Wang Cheng laughed and said, "Of course, Zhou Yuemin and Zhang Duo can't be compared with each other, but it's hard to say how long it will be popular."
Dai Anmin's eyes were a little gloomy: "It has nothing to do with us how long Zhou Yuemin can be popular, as long as he is popular when the TV series is broadcast."
"This is definitely no problem. Zhang Duo's novels are getting more and more wonderful. It's really rare to see unfinished novels like Emperor Yongzheng. Why is it unfinished?" In the end, Wang Cheng didn't understand.
"Forget it, since it will have no impact for a while, don't think too much." Dai Anmin said.
Dai Anmin doesn't care about Zhang Duo's new book, but Zhang Duo's loyal fans care very much. They watched "Smiling Proud Jianghu" very devotedly. When they saw Lin Ping's young hero, saving people with righteousness, their family was broken, involved in conspiracy, endured humiliation and burdens, and then, without that, the plot actually turned to the eldest brother! Damn it, what a good bridge of extermination, learning and revenge, but it just paves the way for Linghu to appear.
However, Zhang Duo's new book still makes readers happy, especially the side description of Ling Huchong, using other people's mouths to cut the character's behavior, and the perspective change is unique.
In Mr. Jin Yong's novel, the two most typical side descriptions are the Fengling Crossing Night Talk of "The Condor Heroes" and Yi Lin's retelling Linghu Chong Dou Tian Boguang
The former was regarded by many fans as more wonderful than Yang's appearance. Guo Xiang's yearning, everyone's worship, Guo Fu's words stopped and disdained, and a looming eagle hero quickly stood up. The latter took advantage of Yilin's awkward affairs and identity, and the nun's panoramic live broadcast of the flower thief's words, resulting in a comedy effect.
When Wang Cheng saw Yilin relaying Linghu Chongding Tian Boguang, he couldn't help cheering, "Yes, it's simply the reappearance of the Fengling Crossing Night Talk in The Return of the Condor Heroes!"
Dai Anmin listened, but couldn't help frowning. He invited Wang Cheng to the company, and naturally wanted to use his holy hand to adapt several good scripts. Wang Cheng lived up to his reputation as a talented man and wrote several scripts, although he could not be as successful as "East and West". But it is also a box office hit and has a good reputation.
It's just that although Wang Cheng is talented, he has a lot of problems. There is no need to mention good wine. What's more annoying is that he always likes to go to Dai Anmin's office to chat when he has nothing to do. Although sometimes he is very accurate, sometimes what he says has nothing to do with the development of the company.
In the final analysis, Dai Anmin regards Wang Cheng as a good partner. However, Wang Cheng has written a lot of romance novels and regards himself as a military master. Although they don't eat at the same table and sleep in the same bed, they often come to talk about the world.
Dai Anmin put down the pen in his hand unhappily and said, "Wang Cheng, what did you find?"
However, Wang Cheng took the newspaper to Dai Anmin like a treasure and said, "Look at this paragraph. Yilin dictated Linghu Chong Doutian Boguang. It's so interesting. I really can't wait to see Linghu Chong appear earlier."
Dai Anmin took over the newspaper and read it from the beginning. He also reads the serials in the Songjiang Morning Post every day, but after the newspaper was sent today, he was taken away by Wang Cheng and didn't have time to read it.
After reading through, Dai Anmin's face changed slightly and said, "This Duo is really not simple!" The pen is better than the Fengling Night Talk of The Return of the Condor Heroes!" Wang Cheng was proud when he heard it and was proud of his vision.
"Wang Cheng, no matter what, Zhang Duo is now our opponent, so don't comment this time!" Dai Anmin continued. He said this for a reason. Since the publication of "The Affectionate Swordman's Remless Sword", Wang Cheng has self-respected as Li Xunhuan in the world, and his contempt for Zhang Duo has also changed from the original contempt to admiration. After that, he published many articles commenting on Zhang Duo's novels.
Wang Cheng listened and said unhappily, "Anmin, "Xiao Ao Jianghu" is still far away to be made into a film and television drama. In any case, it will not collide with "Xunming Ji". Why do you have to be so nervous?"
Dai Anmin sneered and said, "I'm not worried about "Xunming Ji". I'm worried about "Haunting Heavenly Palace". It is said that Zhang Duo's "Journey to the West" is shooting very fast. If it is really released at the end of the year, wouldn't it have collided with my "Haunting Heavenly Palace"?"
Wang Cheng said incredulously, "The investment of Journey to the West is less than 60 million yuan. How can it be compared with our nearly 200 million yuan? Are you still afraid of him?"
"Of course I'm not afraid of him, but the problem is that Zhang Duo hasn't lost since his debut! I'm just a little worried!" Dai Anmin explained far-fetchedly.
Wang Cheng smiled in his heart and said, "After talking for a long time, I'm not afraid." But this can't be said in front of Dai Anmin. Finally, I had to say, "Well, in that case, I won't write it for the time being!" Dai Anmin's face finally showed a smile.
It was not only Wang Cheng and Dai Anmin who saw the wonderfulness of Smiling Proud Jianghu, but also many readers saw it. Originally, an old martial arts novel that was very vulgar in their eyes, after a wonderful side description, depicted an unrestrained, bright and open-minded, unrestrained, informal, and likes to joke, but it is a born chivalrous and righteous image of a lehu hero.
The characters in the novel are about to come out, and readers are also impatient about the following content. Not only the 2.4 million copies printed by the Songjiang Morning Post on this day were sold out, but there was also an endless stream of calls to the newspaper to urge manuscripts.
"Zhang Shao, do you think you can still update ten thousand words a day? There have been too many calls to the newspaper to urge manuscripts in the past two days. Moreover, the sales of newspapers have rebounded rapidly. If you update the number of words, the circulation of Songjiang Morning Post may exceed 3 million copies! What, can't? Oh!"
After Tang Tianhao hung up the phone, he said to himself, "If it doesn't work, it won't work. What are you saying? However, Zhang Shao is really angry. It won't be an accident in Journey to the West!"
