The next morning, when the sky was still bright, as the famous Lu Yu tea room on Hong Kong Island, it was full of diners who came to have morning tea.

A table of diners near the window, after ordering the refreshments they wanted, picked up the newspaper and began to read it slowly, and suddenly one of them frowned and said, "Four talents?"

"What are the four talents?" the diner next to him poked his head out curiously and glanced at the man.

The man who had exclaimed earlier spread out the newspaper and handed it to the crowd, "Well, read it for yourselves." ”

The man in white sitting opposite glanced at the newspaper and said with a smile: "Ada, do you still read a garbage newspaper like Huazi Daily? You should learn more from me and read Ming Pao, which is a good article." ”

"Oh, I think Huazi Daily is quite interesting. Ada didn't say anything to argue.

"Stop talking nonsense. ”

The diner next to him took the newspaper and read it, reading it as he read it: "At about one o'clock yesterday afternoon, Jin Yong, a well-known martial arts writer in Hong Kong, held an eye-catching golden basin handwashing conference......

It turned out that the newspaper headline of "Huazi Daily" published a group photo of the "Golden Basin Handwashing Conference" held at Gu Long's house yesterday, and it gave this article a very loud headline "The Four Talents Gather Together, Jinyong Washes His Hands and Retires to the Rivers and Lakes".

As mentioned above, during this period, Hong Kong Island liked to make a group of people, such as the famous Hong Kong Seven Princesses and Eight Peonies.

And with this precedent, many newspapers like to give others nicknames, such as Huo Yaowen's "Great Writer", Gu Long's "Prodigal Son", and Shen Dianxia's "Fatty......

As a gossip newspaper with high hopes from Huo Yaowen, the daily sales share of "Huazi Daily" was only about 5,000 copies at first. However, in order to expand the sales of the newspaper, the newly appointed editor-in-chief Huang Junyu has been reporting all kinds of news, current news, and entertainment in a non-stop style in the past month or so.

It can be said that almost all the content that can attract people's attention is exaggerated, and it was ridiculed and despised at the beginning, after all, most of the current newspapers are more rigorous, and such a strange thing will definitely be laughed at.

However, this kind of exaggerated way of reporting has also attracted many curious readers, who often scold the newspaper for "the title is not right" when they read the newspaper, but the next morning they still honestly went to the newsstand to buy it.

There is no way, there are few strange headlines like "shock", "horror" and "must-see" in newspapers nowadays, and the "Huazi Daily" can be said to satisfy the curiosity of many people.

However, the news that made "Huazi Daily" an instant hit is somewhat ridiculous and interesting, that is, it criticized the article written by Huo Yao, a famous commentator of "Cheng Wei Po", which sang about the stock market.

It is precisely because of the unsparing criticism that he scolded this person for being an unscrupulous literati with ill intentions, which attracted the favor of many shareholders, and the share of daily sales has also increased day by day, from 5,000 to more than 10,000 stable.

“……”

“… Nowadays, there are too many well-known literati in the literary world, but the editor believes that the most talented and talented contemporary literati writers are four: Huo Yaowen, Liang Yusheng, Jin Yong, and Gu Long. (Note: in no particular order)

When it comes to the first person in Hong Kong's literary scene today, everyone may have different ideas, but if we talk about the best-selling writer in Hong Kong today, then everyone must think of one person! That's right, that is Mr. Fok Yiu-man.

Since 1968, Mr. Huo wrote "Ghost Blowing the Lantern - Notes on Tomb Robbery", in the past five years, he has created more than a dozen classic works such as "The Devil of the Tang Dynasty", "Rouge Buckle", "Sweet Honey", "A Cloud Made of Rain in the Wind", "1999", "Virtual Second World", "Harry Potter", etc., according to this newspaper, the total sales of these works in the world have exceeded 20 million copies, involving a wide range of themes and high sales, Hong Kong Island is unparalleled......

Although the title of this article is yesterday's Golden Basin Handwashing Conference, almost all of the content in it is touting Huo Yaowen, even if it is a gimmick of the four talents, but the reports of the other three talents together are less than half of Huo Yaowen.

Others don't know, but Huang Junyu, the editor-in-chief of "Huazi Daily", knows who the boss behind his house is, and with such a good opportunity, he naturally wants to catch a good handful of it, and pat it on the back.

After "Huazi Daily" took the lead in throwing out the title of "Four Talents", with the word of mouth and fermentation of readers, it suddenly ignited the Hong Kong literary circle, which had been suppressed by the stock market and immersed for a long time.

"Huazi Daily" openly created such a big talent, some people recognized it, and some people openly opposed it in the newspaper, saying that most of these four people are writers, and it is difficult to compare with those real literary masters, and they don't deserve such a big title of the four great talents. In this way, the two sides with different opinions started a pen battle in the newspaper, and you came and went.

In addition to the quarrels between the newspapers, those melon-eating readers also began their own discussions about this title, some people think that Gu Long should not be counted among the four talents, because he is not from Hong Kong Island, and some people think that Liang Yusheng's works are too old-fashioned, and they can only be regarded as creating a new school of martial arts, and they are not worthy of the four great talents......

Anyway, there are all kinds of remarks, but all those who recognize the title of the Four Great Talents without exception think that Huo Yaowen must be one of the Four Great Talents.

Seeing that the "Four Talents" are gradually becoming popular all over Hong Kong and becoming a hot topic, countless newspaper reporters have rushed to interview these four parties.

Liang Yusheng and Jin Yong are easy to find, as long as they squat in the "New Evening News" and "Ming Pao", Gu Long's words are a chatterbox, even if there is no reporter to talk to him, he will take the initiative to talk to reporters.

Only Huo Yaowen's whereabouts are unpredictable, and the reporter at his residence in Kowloon Tong squatted for several days and did not see him go home.

Not many people know about the residence of Wata Old Road, and no reporter has run to squat to guard it.

In this way, after interviewing the three people one after another, some reporters went to Huo Yaowen's company to wait, after all, the book publishing company was there!

They thought to themselves, the monk couldn't run away from the temple.

It's just that they didn't see Huo Yaowen for a few days, so they had no choice but to continue to interview the other three.

The most interesting thing is that a reporter ran to ask Ni Quan why he was not among the four great talents in Hong Kong.

Ni Huan's face turned black on the spot, and he left without answering.

Originally, I didn't answer, it's not easy to report, but this reporter is also very powerful, and the next day he wrote in his own newspaper: "Dissatisfied with the ranking of the four talents, Ni Frame shook his hand and left with a black face"

With the fermentation of popularity, the daily sales of "Huazi Daily" once rose to 20,000 copies.

As the initiator, Huang Junyu's happy mouth was about to smile crookedly, he didn't care what people from the outside world thought of "Huazi Daily", as long as he completed the tasks given by the boss and did everything possible to increase sales, it would be enough.

Huazi Daily Newspaper House.

"General Manager, this is the sales report of the recent newspaper, relying on the recent report, the share of the newspaper is now 20,000 copies per day. Huang Junyu excitedly handed over the report.

Huo Yaowen took the report and looked at it a few times, and opened his mouth to praise: "Yes, Editor-in-Chief Huang, your article is very well written, make persistent efforts, and try to stabilize the recent extra readers."

"It's the general manager, don't worry, I have absolute confidence to retain these readers!"

Since the "Four Talents" came out, Huang Junyu is now very confident in retaining new readers, he immediately picked up another document and said: "General Manager, this is the future planning plan of the newspaper that I recently wrote, please take a look." ”

"Oh?" Huo Yaowen took it and opened it, "Writer List", "Artist List", "Actress List", a series of various lists, this is to make a Hong Kong version of Forbes.
