Chapter 240: The Coming Crisis
Lin Tiange soon received an olive branch from the Yellow River Literature and Art, and the person who conveyed this olive branch was still an alumnus of his own, who had graduated for three years and was currently serving as the leader of an editorial team in the Yellow River Literature and Art.
"The development of "Craftsman Record" is good now, but you should also know that the reason for this good ninety percent is Gu Yongsheng," the senior from the Chinese Department became a lobbyist after meeting with Lin Tiange, "That is to say, the readers who buy this magazine are mainly to see Gu Yongsheng's two serials." ”
"I understand," replied Lin Tiange, who had calmed down from the surprise, "but one-tenth of the readers he attracted paid more attention to my work than other magazines." ”
"Yes, you are right to think so, but have you thought about it a little deeper, you are writing about martial arts, frankly speaking, your martial arts still have some shadow of Gu Yongsheng, what do you think are the chances of coming out in the shadow of Gu Yongsheng?"
"Aren't you paying attention to me now?"
The lobbyist senior smiled disapprovingly and said, "We at Yellow River Literature and Art pay attention to every best-selling magazine, and strive to tap those authors who have potential but have not yet had the opportunity to show their strength. ”
"Well, but I feel that I am very good in "Craftsman Record" now, and their editor also told me that Gu Yongsheng has personally given an order and will focus on cultivating me, so I ......"
"You've signed a contract?"
"Not really, the new book should talk about that. ”
The senior was silent for a moment, then smiled and stared into Lin Tiange's eyes. He said: "It has only been a long time since the establishment of "Craftsman's Record", and they lack a little experience in cultivating new magazines. For example, this time Gu Yongsheng's PK alone, how much attention has it attracted and how many resources has it occupied? Will there be fewer such things in the future?"
Lin Tiange was silent, his expression changed slightly.
"In "Craftsman's Record", as long as you insist on writing martial arts, your sequence will always be second, and they can't let you a newcomer support the magazine. But it's different on our side, not to mention how many magazines and platforms with different categories we have in the Yellow River Literature and Art, and not to mention that we also have the equally best-selling "Ding Novel". Let me ask you, what kind of heights do you want to reach in the future? You won't be willing to be subservient forever, will you?"
Lin Tiange adjusted his sitting posture, smiled noncommittally, and said, "Gu Yongsheng is the first person in martial arts now. There can be no doubt about that. ”
"Yes. He is the first person, but just like you wrote in your novel, it is impossible for someone in this river and lake to always be the first in the world, but there will always be someone who is the first in the world, isn't it the same for Gu Yongsheng?"
Lin Tiange smiled again, but there was a faint uneasiness in the smile, since they could see the ambition of their words, Gu Yongsheng must also be able to see it.
"Let's not talk about that. Even if your strength in the future can be side by side with Gu Yongsheng, but in "Craftsman Record". He can never be surpassed, have you ever thought that one day you will be like him, do you be the editor of your own magazine, yourself?"
"Huh?"
Lin Tiange's expression moved slightly, obviously touched by this sentence, he has always regarded Gu Yongsheng as his model of struggle and beyond the goal, how can he not want to be the editor-in-chief of the magazine at all?
"Like Gu Yongsheng, Han Shuo, and Xue Muliang, make your own magazine, and the direction and style of the magazine are completely up to you, you don't doubt that our Yellow River Literature and Art can't do this, right?"
"Of course not. ”
"That's okay, you will never be able to do this in "Craftsman's Record", but if you come to the Yellow River Literature and Art, it will not be a difficult thing, and after you graduate, you don't have to submit resumes and interviews everywhere like other graduates, but come directly to us as the editor-in-chief. ”
"Be editor-in-chief...... It's not that easy, is it?"
"Definitely, first of all, you have to precipitate and learn by yourself, and secondly, we also have to equip you with helpers, text editing, picture editing, operation editing, etc., but you are still early from graduation, these things are not difficult for smart people, Xue Muliang is not a professional, and now he is worth more than 100 million yuan by relying on words. ”
Lin Tiange secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then said: "I still have to think about this, I admit that I was a little moved by you, but it is unlikely that the next book will go to the Yellow River Literature and Art, I am already talking to their editors about the new book, and they are also giving me a detailed topic." ”
"No problem, we're waiting for you, our President Mo waited for Wang Lengran for three years, cooperation is fate. ”
"I've heard that story," Lin Tiange smiled, then thought of something, and asked, "I'll think about it again, after all, Gu Yongsheng is my Bole, and with this favor, I can't make a rash decision." ”
"Of course, if you think about it carefully," the senior didn't chase after him, "If you can't think clearly for a while, you should not sign a personal long-term contract, you can sign the work first." ”
"I'll consider your words carefully. ”
The lobbyist senior nodded and got up, and said casually: "Also, as an alumnus, I will reveal a little gossip to you, "Craftsman's Record" is indeed very brilliant now, but you may have also heard that they rely on a small company registered by Gu Yongsheng personally. ”
Speaking of this, he smiled disapprovingly, and continued: "How fierce the competition in modern society is, it is difficult to go far without a little support, to give a simple example, I can easily find the authors they want to focus on, but they can't figure out any of our plans. ”
The lobbyist senior laughed as he spoke, patted Lin Tiange like a little brother, and said, "Let's just lock up and talk about this, let's talk about it as an alumnus." ”
"Understood. ”
……
"According to your plan, it should be the finishing stage, are you sure it's necessary?"
Before Chen Ka went to see Lin Tiange, Mo Zhiyu and Cui Song also had a conversation, and after Mo Zhiyu said his decision, Cui Song asked this.
"There are not a few examples of the collapse of the game in the closing stage, Gu Yongsheng is not an ordinary person, Lu Yichou has been in contact with him for so long and can't figure him out, I don't want to have the slightest support. ”
"Also, who are you going to call?"
"Chen Ka graduated from that school, and his brain spins quickly, so he is the most suitable candidate. ”
"How much do we charge?"
"I don't think I can talk about the price," Mo Zhiyu smiled incomprehensibly. "Qingyu Pharmacist" is a debut work, and the author will inevitably have a newcomer mentality and have few chips in his hand. Don't dare to take too big a step. ”
"I understand," Cui Song also laughed, "You're paving the way." ”
"Yes, actually, if it is negotiated this time, the effect is not the best, and I want to win it when the net is closed. The shock will be greater, and you can also use this time to test Lin Tiange's condition. ”
"Also a restless child. Cui Song shook his head with a smile and said.
"It's good to be restless. It saved us a lot of things. ”
……
Putting aside these undercurrents, on the bright side, the PK of "Blue Blood Sword" and "Snow Mountain Flying Fox" is still continuing, but a week before the launch of the new issue of the magazine on both sides, the discussion on the Internet has shown a weakening trend. After all, the storyline is still less. We don't really have much to talk about.
Under this expectation, the latest issues of "Craftsman's Record" and "Dajianghu" were listed one after another, and readers and netizens who had been waiting for a long time quickly bought the two magazines, and then brushed off Gu Yongsheng's serials as soon as possible, and then went to the forum to start a war.
"Blue Blood Sword" and "Snow Mountain Flying Fox" have a relationship in the story, and at the end of the former, it is written that Li Zicheng conquered the capital and overthrew the Ming Dynasty, and began to be proud of his achievements. became more and more suspicious, and finally killed the hero Li Yan in vain. As a result, the people's hearts were weakened, and Dolgon was finally defeated. The core of the story of "Blue Blood Sword" is built around this ending, and the grievances of the four families of Hu, Tian, Miao, and Fan also started from this.
In addition to the connection between the two books, the writing style is also one after the other, for example, there are hidden protagonists in both stories, for example, both stories use the technique of double-line development and flashbacks, for example, the clues of the characters in the two books are slightly thin and lack effective personality charm, and the characters who appear in the flashbacks are the main characters of the whole story......
With more and more serials released, the relationship between the two books is more and more clearly displayed in front of readers, "Snow Mountain Flying Fox" because of its short length, its main character Hu Yidao appeared in the fourth chapter, and Hu Yidao's appearance finally broke the balance of this PK, the hero Hu Yidao just appeared, and immediately won the full house of readers.
Although the two look similar to Zhang Fei and Diao Chan, the love between each other is written in the slightest, without any sense of disobedience. ”
"Using action and language to shape characters is the most common technique in the novel, this Hu Yidao just appeared, speaking and doing things with great pride, giving people a lifelike feeling, especially seeing Miao Renfeng appear, Hu Yidao teasing the child by himself, completely ignoring the plot, it is really fascinating, the aura is too powerful. ”
In fact, in addition to the touching emotional description between Hu Yidao and Mrs. Hu, the sympathy between him and Miao Renfeng also makes people's blood boil, obviously the two are enemies who want to fight life and death, but it seems that they are like a pair of friends in life and death, one is bright and fair, the other is frank and open, and even lies on the same bed, confirming each other's kung fu and learning from each other. ”
……
However, the lead of the "Snow Mountain Faction" did not last long, and with the appearance of the Golden Snake Langjun Xia Xueyi in "Blue Blood Sword", the votes of the "Blue Blood Faction" quickly caught up, and the two sides returned to the same running line again.
After that, PK entered a stalemate, the two parties took each other's lead, and after there were more stories, everyone's attention gradually diverged, and there were "Hu Yidao Party", "Miao Renfeng Party", "Golden Snake Langjun Party" in the netizen group, and began to eagerly discuss a few of them, which martial arts is the most powerful?
The question of "who has the highest martial arts" is also one of the most concerned questions for martial arts fans.
The rest, such as which one of Jin Yong's novels is the most powerful? Which of the ancient dragon novels is the most powerful? Can Lu Xiaofeng's spiritual fingers clamp Li Xunhuan's Xiao Li Flying Knife? Which of Qiao Feng's eighteen dragon-descending palms or Guo Jing's is more fierce......
In this relatively harmonious atmosphere of discussion, the Internet celebrity Radish Head, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly published a review article, in which he sharply pointed out that Gu Yongsheng's two novels seem to be suspected of some kind of repetition, and at present, the protagonists of the two books are too weak in personality, and the edge is completely concealed, and there is a tendency to be untenable.
Carrot Head believes that it is okay for the novel to create an invisible protagonist, but it can't be favored over the other, after all, the character that most readers want to substitute for is still the protagonist who pulls the story.
The article on radish head has caused a lot of repercussions, and more and more professional commentators have begun to intervene in this spontaneous PK of netizens, and the intervention of professionals means that the voices of criticism are gradually increasing.
……
No one thought that these two controversial novels would become the fuse for the heaviest bomb in the history of the publishing industry that Mo Zhiyu planted for Gu Yongsheng. (To be continued......)
