On March 5, at Hong Kong's Kai Tak Airport, a London airliner slowly landed on the surface of the runway.

"It's finally here!"

After getting off the plane and out of the pick-up gate, Huo Yaowen breathed a sigh of relief with his suitcase, every time he took a plane at Kai Tak Airport, whether he went out or came back, he had to experience a panic.

This is not that Huo Yaowen is timid, the main reason is that the runway of Kai Tak Airport is indeed too short, and the normal airport runway, even if it is a very small civil airport, its runway is at least more than three thousand meters!

At this time, the runway of Kai Tak Airport is only a short 2194 meters, although there are runways shorter than it, but the planes that take off and land on that runway are not large passenger planes carrying passengers, and the pressure of take-off and landing is much smaller.

However, next year will be much better, just got off the plane, Huo Yaowen noticed that there were a large number of trucks loaded with sand and soil in the sea area at the end of the runway, and asked the airport personnel, they said that the airport is undergoing a reclamation plan, and it is estimated that within two months, the runway will be expanded to 2541 meters, even if it is not as good as those airports with a three-meter runway, 2500 meters will be much better.

Go back in the taxi.

Anna said: "My dear, I won't go to Kowloon Tong today, I have been on vacation for more than ten days, and I think there are a lot of things at school, so I want to go back and deal with them as soon as possible." ”

Huo Yaowen frowned and said, "Why don't I go back and drive you?"

"No, I'll just drive back to Hong Kong Island by myself. ”

"That's fine. ”

Waited until the villa in Kowloon Tong.

As soon as Huo Yaowen entered the door, he threw the suitcase directly into the living room, and in the surprised eyes of his mother and grandma, he hurriedly went upstairs and took out the car keys and ran down again, before leaving, he said "I'll go out", and disappeared in front of the second elder.

Half an hour later, outside the office of "Kyushu" magazine.

"I'll go back to school first. Anna said to Huo Yaowen, who got out of the car.

Huo Yaowen walked to the driver's door and whispered, "Well, be careful when driving on the road." ”

"I know. Anna looked at Huo Yaowen, who was very close to her, leaned out and kissed him on the right cheek, and said, "Goodbye dear." ”

"Goodbye!"

Seeing Anna drive away, Huo Yaowen turned around and walked towards the "Kyushu" magazine.

Before he left Hong Kong for the United Kingdom, the magazine was almost ready, and the first issue of Chen Fan and others had already been printed, and it might have been distributed in those days.

...

Step into the magazine.

Huo Yaowen was stunned by the scene in front of him!

At the door, there is a long queue of people, each holding a resume.

Bypassing these people and entering inside, he found that the magazine office was not very busy, but at this time it was crowded, except for those people queuing, the employees of the original magazine seemed to be quite busy, working on their desks one by one.

At this time, Lin Xiaotang opened the office and came out, and suddenly noticed Huo Yaowen standing in the office area, and hurriedly walked over happily and shouted, "Chairman!"

Huo Yaowen pointed to the crowd queuing on the side: "Editor-in-Chief Lin, who are these people?"

"They're all here to apply!"

Lin Xiaotang smiled bitterly: "After the first issue of our "Kyushu" magazine was released, all these people came to see the application advertisement you wrote on the last page of the magazine. ”

"Oh, that's a lot. ”

Looking at the people in line, Huo Yaowen was a little surprised, he didn't expect so many people to come to apply.

Lin Xiaotang said: "Yes, there have been a lot fewer people in the past few days, and there were more people at the beginning!"

"What about the magazine's sales?" Huo Yaowen asked.

Seeing that the chairman asked about the sales volume, Lin Xiaotang said happily: "Yesterday has officially exceeded 20,000 copies, and it is estimated that there will be a large increase in a period of time, and the printing house is also cooperating with us to continue printing, plus the second issue of the magazine is about to be produced and distributed. ”

"I'm afraid I won't be able to stay for a few days......"

Huo Yaowen shrugged and said that he would go to the United States in a few days.

The mixed martial arts competition jointly hosted by WWWF and TV stations in the United States, Bruce Lee invited him last year, and at the end of February, he specially wrote a letter to remind Huo Yaowen that no matter what, this face is to be given, not to mention that Bruce Lee has always been his idol!

"Looks like I'm going to work overtime again. ”

Lin Xiaotang sighed, he was indeed a little tired recently.

Huo Yaowen patted Lin Xiaotang on the shoulder, "Those who can work harder, the first issue of the magazine can sell 20,000 copies, which shows that there is still a lot of room for improvement in the potential of our "Kyushu", and when I come back from the United States, I will send a big red envelope to each of you!"

Lin Xiaotang said with a smile: "Then I will thank the chairman in advance on behalf of everyone." ”

Huo Yaowen said: "It should be!"

"By the way, chairman, there is something I need to tell you. ”

Lin Xiaotang suddenly thought of something, pulled Huo Yaowen into the office, and took out the second issue of "Kyushu" magazine from the drawer.

"Ever since the first issue of the magazine sold well, I was thinking about the map of the Kyushu Great World and the branches of each sect that you mentioned earlier, so I asked two artists to help me draw a few illustrations. ”

I took the magazine sample in Lin Xiaotang's hand, and turned to which page with the illustrations, although it was just an ordinary black and white painting, but at a glance, I could see the vast territory of the Kyushu world, as well as the other three continents that only appeared with scales and half claws.

Lin Xiaotang continued: "Chairman, the magazine has added three pages of illustrations, although the cost is about a dime and a half more, but I think with the illustrations, I think it should be able to attract more readers. ”

"Well, good, you're doing a good job, with these illustrations, it looks really good, and you can also let the artists draw some popular characters in the future. ”

Thinking of this, Huo Yaowen's mind turned, and he hurriedly said, "This is just a sample book, right?"

Lin Xiaotang nodded: "Well, it hasn't officially started printing yet, and it will start the day after tomorrow." ”

Huo Yaowen said: "In that case, you immediately call the printing house and ask them not to print the second issue of the magazine for the time being." ”

"Why?" Lin Xiaotang was puzzled.

Huo Yaowen said: "Find a way to add an extra note on the last page of the magazine, stick it firmly in the book, don't fall off when the goods are shipped, make some signs, and then ask readers to write their favorite characters on the note and mail them to us, which character is the most popular, so I specially find an artist to illustrate the character." ”

It's old-fashioned, but it works.

"It's easy to add a note to the last page of the magazine, and it shouldn't cost more than two cents. ”

Lin Xiaotang's frowning brows gradually eased, but he understood what the chairman meant, which was nothing more than to strengthen the reader's expectation and stickiness to the magazine, so that he would not buy the next issue after reading this issue.

"Then arrange for the people in the printing house to prepare, and make sure that every magazine has a note, and make sure that the note is marked in something that is not easy to prevent. ”

"I know the chairman. ”

...

After Lin Xiaotang finished talking on the phone with the printing house, he hurriedly went out, ready to find the people below to arrange the design of the special logo on the paper.

Huo Yaowen was the only one left in the office, and he had nothing to do, sitting on a chair and reading the latest Hong Kong newspapers.

The first newspaper I picked up was Ta Kung Pao, which was yesterday's newspaper, and the title on the supplement was eye-catching: "Kyushu, which is comparable to the ancient mythological masterpieces."

The main writer of the article is Liang Yusheng.

"From ancient times to the present, myths and legends have been accompanied by our Chinese civilization for a long time, and the ancient families were also very fond of this kind of theme, so they created a large number of works of myths and ghosts, we are familiar with "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", "Sou Shen Ji", "Huainanzi", "Journey to the West", "Romance of the Gods", and the lesser-known ones are even more unknown, such as "Taiping Guangji", "Romance of Ancient Myths", "Legend of the Immortals" and so on......"

"I am an old friend of one of the main writers of "Kyushu", and after I finished watching "Kyushu" a few days ago, I was full of enthusiasm in my heart for a long time, so I asked him out to drink tea. During the conversation, my old friend Baijian Hall Master told me that the outline and various settings of "Kyushu" were all completed by Mr. Huo alone, and it didn't matter if he had him or not, and it didn't matter if he wrote it by another person, but the style and writing were different, and the core could not be touched. ”

In this regard, I thought it was an old friend who was modest, but he told me that the world of "Kyushu" is not just as simple as what is currently written, and the world of Kyushu depicted in the book is so huge that it is almost unimaginable to ordinary people. ”

"My old friend didn't tell me how big the Kyushu world is, but he said that at the moment they are only writing about an era of the Kyushu world.

I was very surprised, and quickly asked him if he wanted to write a world from nothing.

He replied: Yes.

Old friends said: The world of Kyushu can be roughly divided into four eras, the era of the flood, the ancient era, the ancient era, the Kyushu era, and what is currently written is the story of the Kyushu era.

He also said: From the customs and customs of various parts of Kyushu, down to the old hatred between various races, and even the map of the world of Kyushu, they have already designed......

After listening to it, it's hard for me to imagine what kind of masterpiece this is!

I can't help but yearn for it, and I also want to participate in this magnificent contemporary mythological masterpiece.

It is expected that a hundred years later, such a magnificent "Kyushu" may not be able to become a mythological masterpiece like "Journey to the West" and "Romance of the Gods". ”

I have to say that this article written by Liang Yusheng almost praised "Kyushu" to the sky!

However, it stands to reason that as a Hong Kong martial arts master, no matter how much he likes it, he shouldn't be so touted, after all, only the first issue has been released, and it is only 70,000 words, and many important Kyushu world-shaking characters have not yet appeared!

After thinking about it, Huo Yaowen only had one thought in his heart, that is, Chen Fan should have revealed a little bit of the plan of the world of "Kyushu" to Liang Yusheng, otherwise, Liang Yusheng would not have come out to tout so early.

But it's hard to say, who made Chen Fan and Liang Yusheng be martial arts writers who debuted at the same time, and they are both one of the Three Musketeers, and they also opened a joint column in "Ta Kung Pao" and wrote "Essays on the Three Swords", and the personal relationship between the two should be very good.

Forehead......

As for Jin Yong, after the three musketeers separated, Chen Fan couldn't hate him too late, how could there be any more contact!
