Because Gu Yongsheng only released one chapter, most of the discussions on the Internet about "Book of Swords and Enmity" at the beginning were still focused on the entire questioning incident, if it wasn't for the previous group attack, which made a good foreshadowing, even if Gu Yongsheng was already famous all over the world, it would still not lead to the collapse of the entire website system after publishing a chapter of the book.

Of course, what really forced the doubters to retreat was not the sudden turn of public opinion or the strong counterattack of Gu Yongsheng's readers, but the profound skills shown in the first chapter of the novel.

The so-called expert kung fu as soon as he shot, he knew if there was any, although "Book Sword" only put more than 20,000 words once, but the old spicy pen power, methodical foreshadowing arrangement, and the portrayal and shaping of the characters with ease have also begun to emerge, and ordinary sailors may still be able to unyieldingly insist on "the author is brain-dead", "the author is a liar", and "the author's depravity is disappointing" to scold, but Gao Shuishui has been keenly aware that if they continue like this, they can only bring humiliation on themselves.

Therefore, they either leave a sentence of "the truth is revealed" and strike decisively, or they don't say a word, delete all the previous posts and related remarks, and then quietly focus on other things, and even turn black into fans for a second, blend into the readership, and start pretending to discuss the plot with everyone.

With the collapse of the "operational theory" and the "degenerate theory", there is no need for readers to continue to waste time on these topics, and discussing the plot is the second thing they do after responding to the doubts and reading the novel.

For expert-level characters like Wei Wuzhi and Cui Song, it is naturally not difficult to distinguish the difference between "The Book of Swords and Enmity" and "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch", even ordinary readers can faintly perceive the subtle changes in the former, and the most direct feeling is the character dialogue.

"The Legend of the White-Haired Witch" writes character dialogues, and the written and literary colors are still everywhere. It seems that this has been deliberately adjusted in "Book Sword", where the characters are written, they should be as close as possible to the spoken language, and the reading will be more flexible and intimate.

In addition, several female characters who appeared in the first episode also made readers' eyes shine, except for the aristocratic lady Li Yuanzhi who cut into the story, Huo Qingtong, the "green feather yellow shirt" and Luo Bing, the "Mandarin Duck Knife", all of which added a lot of anticipation to the readers.

And the reckless setting of "Red Flower Club" and "Thunder Runner" is the bullseye of many martial arts lovers.

As for the difference in other places, because there are still fewer chapters. The storyline is not fully developed, and it is really difficult to make comparisons, even Wei Wuzhi can't do a detailed analysis, let alone readers who only pursue the pleasure of reading.

Anyway, after watching this first time. Everyone can have a common conclusion that Gu Yongsheng's new work "Book of Swords and Enmity" can surpass the previous work. I dare not make a statement at the moment. But what is certain is that this novel basically maintains the level that the author should have, and the novelty and change in it make readers very happy and expectant.

In short, at the end of the discussion, it was clear to everyone that they wanted to know more about the state of the book. Then quietly wait for the next chapter, but this time the waiting mentality is very different from the last time, the last time it was impatient and angry, this time it is purely curious about the progress of the story.

It was at this time. Gu Yongsheng updated a status in a timely manner: "Because a new magazine is about to be launched, the new book is also going to be serialized on the magazine as planned, so there is no way to put too much on the blog, this test of the water, in the final analysis, is to tell everyone, I always remember my duty, I will continue to go down this road, and then I will continue to put serialization here, but the number of words will be controlled, until the magazine is ready, it will be moved to the magazine for serialization, I hope forgive me." ”

Except for those readers who are accustomed to reading free novels who expressed dissatisfaction, most of them expressed their understanding and agreement, after all, with Gu Yongsheng's current value, such a test of the waters is indeed a bit extravagant, that is really to earn a word by reading a word.

……

"It's still a bit ridiculous when the king returns. ”

Friends near Vientiane School Park,Liu Jingting made an appointment with Liangsi、Su Jin and George and Chang Youdao,Before formally discussing the magazine,Liu Jingting complained about a post that Chang Youdao made on the bean sprouts。

"I think it's very appropriate," Liang Si continued, "It's the feeling of turning the tide, it's amazing, it's definitely a symbol of good luck, haha." ”

Su Jin and George also agreed, although Liu Jingting did not discuss with any of them before sending the book, but everyone talked about this matter, and still expressed their appreciation. ”

After laughing for a while, he began to get to the point, and Liangsi said in high spirits: "After this incident, the preliminary publicity of our new magazine is perfectly completed, and the next step is to solicit manuscripts, the ancient gods ......"

"Call me Jingting or Lao Liu. Liu Jingting hurriedly corrected.

"Okay, Lao Liu, you said before that you had already made an appointment with Han Shuo and Yi Shui'an's draft?"

"Yes, I have four commissioned manuscripts here, and the quality is all right. ”

"Well, there are five of the four commissioned manuscripts plus your own serialization, and I have also made an appointment with two well-known writers here, and I will bring them to you for review when the time comes. ”

"No, I trust you. Liu Jingting Chen Ken said, "You are the executive editor of the magazine, and you have full authority to adjudicate this." ”

"Huh?" Liang Si was stunned, confused.

"What's wrong?"

"You just said executive editor?"

"Yes, I didn't tell you, I asked him to invite you, just to come over and be the executive editor, after all, you are the most experienced and familiar with the process of being a magazine, and I have been watching "The Wanderer" during this time, and I think you are fully qualified for this position. ”

Liangsi looked at Liu Jingting, and didn't know what to say for a while, and Su Jin and George's expressions were also a little strange, as if they were surprised.

"That's it, those who can work hard, the office and all the necessities may need you to worry about it when the time comes," Liu Jingting said, took out a bank card from his pocket, solemnly moved it to Liangsi, and continued: "This is the start-up capital of the magazine, you look at the arrangement first." ”

Liang Si hurriedly stood up, the expression on her face flashed a hint of complexity, and then she seemed to have made a decision, and said, "Do you know who I worked for before?"

"Isn't it 'The Wanderer'?"

"Do you know who the owner of Wanderer is?"

"Yellow River literature and art. ”

"You know?"

"It's all written in the back of the magazine. ”

"Then you ......"

"Didn't you fall out with them?"

"Aren't you afraid it's a counter-plan?"

"Isn't it a TV series?" Liu Jingting smiled, "And I've been in contact with you for so long, I can see it." You are all magazine-minded people, as you can always attest. ”

Chang Youdao nodded.

Liangsi was stunned for a moment, then sat down, looked at the bank card, and said, "Let's sign the contract first." ”

"No problem. ”

This is the process they discussed before, Liu Jingting naturally couldn't think of it so comprehensive, and the contract was also helped by Gong Chengen, and Liu Jingting had only heard of many detailed terms, such as five insurances and one housing fund. For example, holiday subsidies, such as meal allowances, transportation subsidies and other benefits, the list is particularly detailed, and Liangsi and others were also shocked when they got the contract.

Liu Jingting explained with a smile: "A friend got the contract for me. I really don't understand, you guys look at what to add. Write it directly at the end. I'll just sign it. ”

"Ah!" Liangsi and the others glanced up at Liu Jingting together, with an expression of "You boss is too sloppy".

"Often, you can sign a copy too. ”

"Oh, okay. Chang Youdao also took a contract, browsed it first, and read: "Yingri Culture? Lao Liu, is this name the meaning of obtaining the different red color of Yingri lotus?"

"Here's one. What else does it mean?"

"What?"

It's a literal and straightforward explanation, it's a metaphor, but I can't explain it clearly, so it's good to understand. ”

Chang Youdao nodded. Then just take the pen and sign it.

Because of the boss's kindness and sloppiness, a few people were embarrassed to go through the contract one by one, and after a rough look, they found that it was about the same, and they began to sign, and when they reached the salary column, several people stopped and looked at Liu Jingting, Liu Jingting glanced at it, and immediately understood, and said: "Su Jin, George, you just fill in the previous salary, Liangsi, the same as the executive editor of "The Wanderer". ”

Several people were shocked by the boss's sloppiness again, George hesitated and wrote a number, Su Jin thought for a while, and bowed his head again to sign.

Liangsi handed the contract to Liu Jingting and said, "In the remarks, I indicated the purpose of this bank card, how much money is in it, you can write it down." ”

Liu Jingting nodded, took the pen and wrote a number that made Liangsi staggered.

The company is legally registered, the terms of the contract are in line with the norms, although such a signature is not formal enough, but it definitely has legal effect, and several people spent more than 20 minutes to sign the contract successively.

The "Craftsman Record" team has been officially established at this point, and Chang Youdao remembered one thing and asked: "Lao Liu, you said before that there was another person who would join in, have you contacted him?"

"Go back and talk to him again in the evening, you should know, the runner-up of Wan Xiangwen. ”

"Xu Sen?"

"It's him. ”

"Okay. ”

……

On the way back to the school park from the Friends Bar, there is often a way to mention the "anti-plot" thing, the two have the same opinion, thinking that there is no problem with a few people in Liangsi, but when Gu Yongsheng returned to the apartment and told his roommate about it, Yang Lilu gave full play to the potential of the half-immortal, and said coldly: "If it's not a coincidence in the dark, but a deliberate arrangement, it's a plan in a plan, you don't want to be betrayed and think everyone is a friend." ”

Liu Jingting smiled disapprerovingly and said, "I still have a contract, but thank you for being an old man." ”

Liu Jingting naturally knew the reason why Yang Lilu had this kind of speculation, one did not add them personally, and the other was also inertial conceptual understanding, after all, it was a newcomer to start a business, and the process was so child's play, Liu Jingting had his own plans in his heart, so he was not worried at all, this kind of confidence came more from intuition, the intuition of the two worlds.

……

The communication with Xu Sen is very smooth, and now in the name of Gu Yongsheng, there is basically no difficulty factor, after Xu Sen signed the contract excitedly, by the way, he also recommended Teng Li, who was also from the essay contest, Liu Jingting had no impression of this person, and after asking for the WC number, he was going to talk to her.

The preparatory work on Liangsi's side has been carried out in an orderly manner, and Gu Yongsheng sent out a call for papers while serializing "Book and Sword".

In this process, an interesting thing happened, which was a small episode, Liu Jingting's final thesis tutor Hong Lian called him to the office and told him that he didn't have to hand in the final paper for this semester, but he wanted to give him all the remaining manuscripts of "Book of Swords and Enmity", and the passing score was guaranteed.

Liu Jingting had a good impression of Professor Hong, so he happily completed the transaction.

On the one hand, since the script of "Hamlet" was handed over, four or five invitations have come from the UK, urging them very urgently, on the other hand, several editors have said in Liu Jingting's new work group that the volume of manuscripts for "Craftsman Record" is a bit violent, which is of course a good thing, but Liangsi's subsequent sentence makes everyone worry:

"The office and the call for papers are fine, but the issue number application is stuck. ”

Liu Jingting was stunned, thought of Han Shuo, and said to himself, "It's this problem again." (To be continued......)
