Ming Pao Newspaper House.

As soon as Shen Baoxin stepped into Jin Yong's office, he saw what he was writing there, leaned over and glanced at it, the fourteenth time;

This is writing the story of Lu Ding.

This chapter tells the story of Mu Jianping, the little wife, and Fang Yi, the eldest wife, who were hidden by Wei Xiaobao and ordered to hide in the palace because of the failure to assassinate Kangxi.

"Knock Knock"

Seeing that Jin Yong didn't seem to be concentrating at all and didn't notice that he had entered the room at all, Shen Baoxin couldn't help knocking on his desk and said, "I said that Lao Cha when you wrote books so seriously?"

Hearing the movement, Jin Yong did not put down the pen in his hand, but looked up at him unhurriedly, "I heard you enter the house, you can tell him anything directly." ”

"You've made progress in cultivating your qi. Shen Baoxin smiled, immediately threw the magazine in his hand on the table, and sighed: "You can see for yourself." ”

Jin Yong curiously glanced at the magazine on the table, it was the new issue of "Kyushu", frowned and asked suspiciously: "What's wrong with this magazine?"

"Recently, the sales of our newspaper have dropped a lot, and it used to be stable at about 75,000 a day, but in the past two days, since the release of the new issue of the magazine in Kyushu, our newspaper has dropped to 70,000 today. ”

Shen Baoxin sighed a second time.

In fact, since the launch of the "Kyushu" magazine, whether it is "Ming Pao" or other newspapers with publications, there has been a certain degree of decline, but the decline is generally not very obvious, because the missing part is enthusiasts, they turn their heads to read the "Kyushu" magazine, but this does not prevent the newspaper from providing the latest news for the public.

"As I've said a long time ago, it's not the duty of a newspaper to be primary. Jin Yong flipped through the magazines in Kyushu, and when he saw the latest content, the actor Zhang Xiaofan had begun to cultivate the Taoism of Qingyunmen, and couldn't help frowning subconsciously.

Shen Baoxin glanced at Jin Yong, seeing that his face was calm and nothing abnormal, and he couldn't help but say helplessly: "I know what you mean, but Huo Yaowen is engaged in this "Kyushu" magazine, and I am afraid that there will be many fewer people who will watch martial arts in the future." ”

Hearing this, Jin Yong's face was silent, but his heart was as melancholy as if he had overturned the river and the sea.

Martial arts have existed since ancient times, but it was the Republic of China period that really developed it, when it was still the old school of martial arts, and most of the moves and styles were in accordance with the rules. But after Liang Yusheng and Jin Yong opened up a new school of martial arts, not only did they have a more meaningful layer of family and country feelings than the vendetta of the old school of martial arts, but they also used all kinds of unique moves more exquisitely.

It can be said that the new school of martial arts can surpass the old school of martial arts and form the current trend of the prosperity of Hong Kong's martial arts culture.

According to the original history, the 50s to the 60s were the peak of Hong Kong's traditional martial arts, and the 70s gradually fell lonely, but in the 80s, Gu Long set off the beginning of fantasy martial arts, and it can be said that martial arts has a third spring.

In 2000, with the rise of the Internet and the birth of the Internet, all kinds of unrestrained fantasy and fairy tales completely suppressed traditional martial arts under their feet.

Although there is a "Heroes" written by Feng Ge, it is only the last glory of martial arts, and there are almost few familiar martial arts born in the future.

This is the change brought about by the development of martial arts after it has reached a bottleneck, and it has slowly developed after time fermentation, but because of Huo Yaowen, martial arts that should have flourished for another twenty years, with the alternative high martial arts of "Tang Heavenly Demon Chronicles", and the birth of "Kyushu", which integrates Honghuang, Xianxia, martial arts, fantasy, and Xiuzhen, has accelerated the pace of strangling the decline of martial arts.

Jin Yong and Shen Baoxin are both smart people, the two have focused on running newspapers for more than ten years, and they have read countless books during this period, no matter how well these books are written, they can't get rid of the traditional martial arts routines, at most they are a bit innovative. But whether it is "The Tang Dynasty" written by Huo Yaowen or "Kyushu", it is enough to subvert the entire martial arts world.

As long as people are accustomed to seeing immortal cultivators flying away from the sky and sweeping the mountains and seas, and then look back at those heroes who can only work on the ground, it is like one with an anti-aircraft gun and the other with a spear, which cannot be compared at all.

Of course, this can't be said to be a complete disadvantage, there are still a lot of advantages, at least one point, Huo Yaowen's "Datang" and the "Kyushu" magazine he founded have brought an alternative touch and perspective to many martial arts writers in Hong Kong, and even romance writers.

It's like the frog at the bottom of the well, the world was originally a circle, so big, but when the frog came out of the bottom of the well, he found that the real world was so vast and huge.

is like Wo Longsheng, although he has been writing manuscripts for "Kyushu", and he has saved tens of thousands of words, but because it is not his turn yet, he has been writing "The Legend of Shenzhou Heroes".

This book was originally just a very ordinary martial arts of vendetta in the rivers and lakes, but because I have read too much of the outline of "Kyushu" and the concept of shattering the void proposed by Huo Yaowen earlier, it has been very different.

At this time, Wang Yizhong, the son of the master of the Golden Sword Gate, the male protagonist of Wolongsheng, has not only achieved great achievements, but is also ready to imitate his predecessors to open up the three veins of heaven, earth and man in his body, and perform the feat of breaking the void.

After shattering the void, there is an even wider world waiting for him.

It is precisely because Wo Longsheng comprehended the new setting early, and in the next ten years, this stinky and long "The Legend of Shenzhou Heroes", which can be said to be very watery, still has a large number of fans chasing after it, which led to him really unable to write it later, and it also caused a commotion among readers.

"Baoxin ......" After Jin Yong was silent, he suddenly looked up at Shen Baoxin.

Shen Baoxin asked, "What's wrong?"

Jin Yong hesitated for a few seconds, and when he hesitated to open his mouth, he looked at "Kyushu" on the table, and finally sighed and said, "How about you say that I will seal the pen after I finish writing Lu Ding Ji?"

"Seal the pen?!" Shen Baoxin was shocked and hurriedly asked: "Sealing the pen is not just talking, you don't want to make this decision with a pat on the head." ”

At this time, the literati sealed the pen, almost really sealed the pen, and almost never wrote articles in the future.

"Actually, I've thought about sealing the pen for a long time, but this time I just said it. After saying it, Jin Yong felt a lot more comfortable, "You have also seen Huo Yaowen's "Tang Dynasty" and this "Kyushu", the way out of martial arts will become narrower and narrower in the future, and if the author does not change, he will not be able to adapt to the times." ”

After hearing this, Shen Baoxin was silent, it was impossible for him to say to Jin Yong, can't you just change?

Why don't you say it, it's because since Jin Yong has made this decision, it means that he is tired and wants to concentrate on running a newspaper and no longer spend time conceiving and writing the plot.

It's not that Jin Yong doesn't have the ability to write this kind of fantasy, but he doesn't want to write it, after all, this kind of novel fantasy actually has a lot in common with traditional martial arts.

Shen Baoxin said: "Okay, if you want to seal the pen, you can seal the pen, and it is also your long-standing wish to concentrate on running the Ming Pao." ”

"Hmm. Jin Yong responded.

The two of them in the room gradually fell silent, and silence filled the air.

Nothing to say for a while.
