Ten o'clock in the morning.

After Huo Yaowen finished class, he took his briefcase and changed into clothes and went out of the school gate.

Yesterday I had an appointment with Director He, and today I went to a commercial radio station during the day.

When I arrived at Hong Kong Commercial Radio, it was already twelve o'clock at noon, and I didn't care about eating, so Huo Yaowen hurriedly went to the radio building.

As soon as she arrived at the commercial radio station, the little girl at the front desk led Huo Yaowen to the director's office.

After He Zuozhi saw Huo Yaowen walk in, he quickly stood up and greeted him with a sad face: "Huo Sheng, you are finally here." ”

Huo Yaowen frowned and asked, "Director He, what the hell is going on?"

"Sit down first. He Zuozhi beckoned.

After the two sat down, He Zuozhi said: "The morning before yesterday, the "Emperor Daily" published an article, I think Huo Sheng should also read it." ”

"Well, I looked. ”

Huo Yaowen didn't just read it, he even read the previous issues of this "Emperor Daily" newspaper, and found that this newspaper had been reporting news normally before, reporting some Hong Kong news, and he didn't know how to denounce his book.

"I don't know the specific situation, but I asked someone to ask, this "Emperor Daily" is obviously making a fuss about Huo Sheng's book, but it is actually dissatisfied with the decline in sales of its newspaper. ”

He Zuozhi has been a radio station for so many years, so he naturally knows many newspapers, so it is easy to inquire about this matter, he continued: "The Emperor's Daily has a "Emperor's Horse Classic" that specializes in publishing the content of the Horse Classic, and the "Oriental Daily" now publishes Huo Sheng's book, and the rest is mainly based on the Horse Classic and the Dog Classic, and the space reported on the news is very small. Originally, the sales of "Oriental Daily" were not very high, and it did not have much impact, but with the recent radio broadcast of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" radio drama, which drove the sales of the newspaper, the number of people who came to buy "The Emperor's Horse Sutra" became much less, and they all went to read "Oriental Daily". ”

When Huo Yaowen heard this, he couldn't cry or laugh in his heart, is this considered a back-handed man?

Immediately, thinking of the name of this newspaper, Huo Yaowen wondered: "Director He, what is the origin of this "Emperor Daily"?

"It's not an RB newspaper, but there's a little bit of a reason for it. ”

He Zuozhi chuckled and said: "The Emperor's Daily was founded around 1943, during the Japanese occupation, when most of the Chinese newspapers were forced to cease publication, and many major factories and shops were seized by the RB people. The big boss behind this "Emperor's Daily" is called Xu Peiying, and now in addition to being the owner of the newspaper, he is also the honorary president of the Hong Kong Association of Horse Critics. ”

"Flattering RB people's newspapers?" Huo Yaowen frowned.

It depends on how Huo Sheng understands it. ”

Ho Tsok-chi joked: "In Hong Kong's three years and August, many newspapers were indeed in a difficult situation, and it was normal for them to be forced to change their names or close down. However, after so many years, the name of the "Emperor's Daily" has not been changed, and the reason for this is unknown to you and me. ”

Xu Peiying!

The Emperor's Daily!

Just listen to the name and know it's not a good bird.

Huo Yaowen squinted slightly, and pondered in his heart for a few seconds.

Immediately, he said to He Zuozhi with a smile: "Director He, I'm bothering you this time, if you hadn't notified me, I'm afraid I would have been scolded and I would have been kept in the dark." ”

He Zuozhi said with a smile: "Huo Sheng, you don't have to worry too much, Hong Kong is a place of freedom of speech, in the early years, Jin Yong was scolded in the newspaper, the worse your book was scolded, the better it sold, but I picked up a cheap one, and someone helped me advertise for free for no reason." ”

"I know, but it's always unpleasant to be scolded. ”

He Zuozhi laughed: "Then find a way to scold back, I think the editor-in-chief of "Oriental Daily" Li should be very welcome for you to scold people in his newspaper, when he was an editor in the "New Evening News", a sub-newspaper of "Ta Kung Pao", but he helped Jin Yong, Liang Yusheng and many leftists to revise the "begging article", and he has a set of personal opinions on how not to swear words and scold people. ”

Although Fok Yaowen knew the freedom of speech in Hong Kong, when he was compiling online dramas to check the information in later generations, he had also seen some invective fights between the left and right factions and various literati published in newspapers in the 50s and 60s, but he never thought that it would be his turn to scold people in the newspaper today.

But think about it, later generations of literati scolded people on blogs and microblogs, but now they just changed to a more traditional way, scolding people in newspapers.

How do you scold it back?

Huo Yaowen pondered for a few seconds, the article that the other party wrote before seemed to be justified, if he just scolded him, it would make him seem reasonable, it seems that this scolding still has to be pondered.

...

Ming Pao.

Shen Baoxin sat in Jin Yong's office, looking at the several newspapers in his hand denouncing "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", he couldn't help but chuckle and said to Jin Yong: "It seems that what you said before is right." ”

Jin Yong raised his head and said: "I said, if this book is written, someone will definitely criticize it, but I didn't expect it to be the head of the "Emperor Daily". ”

"It's not about newspaper sales. ”

Shen Baoxin shook his head, this happened many years ago, when Ming Pao was first founded, many newspapers said that the books written by Jin Yong had no literary value at all except for entertainment and boredom, but after so many years, those people have long disappeared, but Ming Pao has lived longer and better.

Jin Yong smiled and said, "What's the matter? You also envy other people's newspapers for selling well?!"

Shen Baoxin held the newspaper and said with a smile: "It's not that I envy the good sales of "Oriental Daily", but these newspapers are well-written, and I want to see how Huo Sheng responds." If it were me, I would take advantage of the most fierce scolding in many newspapers now, and directly refute it in the newspapers, and in the end, Huo Sheng himself would benefit the most. ”

"Haha, you want to curse too?" Jin Yong laughed.

"I haven't edited an article for many years, and my hands are a little itchy. Shen Baoxin said.

In his early years, when he and Jin Yong established Ming Pao, he had been helping people edit articles in "Wen Wei Po", and the most polished was the scolding essay, which can really be said to be a dirty word, but it made the scolded person thunderous.

...

Huo Yaowen went out of the commercial station and thought about going back to school, but after thinking about it, he still changed his route to "Oriental Daily".

More than an hour later,

Waited until the newspaper office.

Li Daoguang personally went out to greet him.

As soon as the two of them sat down in the room, Li Daoguang opened his mouth and said, "Huo Sheng is here for the matter of the "Emperor Daily". ”

"Hmm. Huo Yaowen nodded.

"I have known about this for a long time, and I have not told Huo Sheng because I am afraid that you are young and your mentality will inevitably be a little unstable. But when I look at Huo Sheng's current appearance, there is nothing wrong at all. Li Daoguang said with a smile.

When Huo Yaowen heard this, he understood why Li Daoguang didn't let people inform him for so many days, because he was afraid that he would be scolded and his mentality collapsed.

However, if Li Daoguang knew that when he wrote online scripts in his later life, he would be scolded by countless people for being brain-dead, and this indifferent mentality would still exist.

Smiling, Huo Yaowen pretended to sigh and said, "Editor-in-Chief Li has a heart, but I am indeed a little uncomfortable in my heart. ”

"Oh, what?" said Li Daoguang.

"This is the first time I was scolded in the newspaper, I really don't know how to fight back, I heard that when Editor-in-Chief Li worked for the "New Evening News" before, he helped Jin Yong, Liang Yusheng and others polish the article, I don't know if Editor-in-Chief Li can help me polish and polish this time?"

"Huh, hahaha......"

Li Daoguang was stunned for a moment, and then laughed out loud, the articles he used to help everyone polish, without exception, were all scolding articles, listening to Huo Yaowen say this, where would he not know his thoughts, and said while laughing: "No problem, Huo Sheng relaxes, I am the best at polishing this kind of article." ”
