Chapter 16: War Begins Here, Quietly

Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

The occurrence of feelings is often a momentary thing, and after that point, the follow-up things are just more and more profound accumulation, and if you forcibly recall, there is no trace, as if it has been like this from the beginning.

For example, the literary girl Mi Hu, when she first saw "Dragon and Tiger Fighting Jinghua", she may have been curious about the owner of the manuscript, and then a series of things happened, such as the forum turmoil, the departure of the editor-in-chief Kuang, the dialogue in the pavilion, and of course, the unforgettable kiss.

In short, in her heart, she can no longer simply regard Liu Jingting as a pure author, at first because he was young and did not have those secondary two problems, she could naturally treat him as a complete little child, cook for him, give him a computer, give him a mobile phone, because of the age difference, she doesn't have to have any psychological burden, she feels that what she does is extremely pure, and she can't fight the relationship between men and women.

However, Liu Jingting himself is by no means a 100% child, in his seemingly naïve and thin body, there is a stunningly talented soul, his views on literature and art are always to the point, although his works are not many, but every punctuation mark shows a brilliant talent.

The harmless surface of humans and animals, the wise and thoughtful inside is perfectly unified in him, how can such a freak make people forget about it?

Mi Hu hugged a big teddy bear, lying on the bed quietly, just now the little kid under his own coercion and temptation, inexplicably sent eight words: "First love, a lot of advice." ”

What kind of bullshit is this? It is estimated that only his whimsical head can come up with such a strange sentence, the corners of Mihu's mouth curved a sweet arc, and he turned his head to look out the window, the spring night is getting warmer, and the lights are still bright.

Stinky child, I'm also in love for the first time, how can I teach you?

Mi Hu thought about this question, only found it very interesting, in fact, she also knew in her heart that this "first love" with Liu Jingting was still different from traditional love, no matter how mature and generous, calm and wise Liu Jingting was, when she was with him, that kind of intimacy could not be separated from the slightest sister and brother factor.

However, after all, I am very happy in my heart, there is a kind of joy of success in pranks, and Liu Jingting will always grow up.

……

Liu Jingting is still young, and Xue Muliang has grown up.

At the age of thirteen, he published his debut novel in the cracks of the Youth Daily, a poem describing spring, participated in the second new type essay contest at the age of seventeen, and won the prize in one fell swoop, and published his own essay collection "Autumn Equinox Undivided" in the same year.

In fact, this collection of virgin essays did not cause much sensation, but with the title of champion of the new genre, it sold more than 3,000 copies, and what really turned his fate was that he published a short fantasy novel in the magazine "New Genre" - "The Second Space", as soon as the novel was published, it caused heated discussions, and the keen editor personally approached him, and he changed the short story into a long one, and seven months later, the long version of "Second Space" was released.

As soon as "The Second Space" was published, it was immediately praised like cháo, and it entered the second place in the book order fair that year as an absolute dark horse, selling 500,000 copies in just three months, and some readers did not buy the book, and even borrowed it by hand.

At the same time, the book has also received the attention and praise of some senior experts, setting off a wave of "second space" phenomenon.

Xue Muliang became famous overnight, and the little-known essay collection became a bestseller.

Since then, while maintaining the rhythm of publishing books, he began to manage his own image, creating a brand of "Xue Muliang", after entering the university, he began to make magazines, set up his own company, and then used the magazine as a platform to sign and dig authors, enter publishing, and after several years of operation, Shengsheng created a huge publishing empire.

Along the way, there were flowers and applause, and the controversy and doubts never stopped, but in any case, in his own words, this qiē became a stepping stone for him to reach the top of the pyramid.

He once wrote in his column that he no longer remembers riding a bicycle when he was sitting in a Mercedes Benz, and when he sat at Starbucks drinking coffee, he could no longer recall the afternoon when he ate a five-cent popsicle.

So, he grew up.

Xue Muliang, who has grown up, is sitting in his office at this time, crossing the legs of a successful person, his right arm and elbow are propped up on the desk, his fists are slightly clenched, and he gently drags half of his thin face, and the confident light in his eyes is almost condensed into substance, staring at a long-haired beauty sitting opposite.

"Mr. Xue, how should you position the style of this conversation, Yan sù is funny?" asked the long-haired beauty with a smile.

Xue Muliang rarely showed a smile and said, "Add another ambiguity." ”

"Huh?"

Xue Muliang said: "Isn't there a rumor outside that I have wandered downstairs in your house several times?"

The long-haired beauty covered her mouth and smiled, Xue Muliang smiled slightly, and said, "The main thing is to talk about my new book, and then add some lace to the clouds." ”

Seeing that the boss's expression became serious, the long-haired beauty nodded solemnly and said, "Then let's start." ”

"I still think it's a little strange," the long-haired beauty was just about to open an interview, couldn't help laughing, leaned over to adjust her feelings, sat up straight, and said, "I call you Mr. Xue or, Ah Liang?" Ah Liang is the fan's name for Xue Muliang.

"It's called Ah Liang. ”

"Well, let's talk about your new book first, although you have talked to me about the idea of this book, I also want to ask how this "Forest of Sorrows" is different from your previous books, and what kind of characters are the main characters?"

"First of all, the biggest difference is definitely more mature than before, whether it is technique or words, of course, the most important thing is my own current situation and mentality, when I look back on my first book now, I can recall my mood and feelings at that time, but that feeling will never come back, just like your second question, the male protagonist in my current book can never be a little boy drinking a bottle of soda for two dollars, even if he does, he will be very handsome or have some kind of purpose. ”

"For example, approaching a heroine from a poor background, does that mean you can't find that feeling or do you not want to repeat the character settings of the past?"

"There's no way to do this, I write about love, I just hope that the heroine is perfect, the question of birth is not my focus, she can be a rich lady, or an inspirational girl from an ordinary family, to her perfection has little to do with these, the rich lady can make people look up, the perfection of an ordinary girl can be seen through guò her man's expression, common skills. ”

The long-haired girl lowered her head for a while, and then said: "Is your so-called perfection just a kind of shell, according to your description, the relationship between the characters in this book involves too many interests, and this kind of perfection cannot be pure at all." ”

Xue Muliang chuckled lightly and said: "This is not important, I want to create a feeling, at least the reader seems to be yearning for the protagonist's lifestyle, and there will be an effective sense of substitution, I don't like ugly things, xing is limited, I know there is, but I don't want to touch it, exposing ugliness is the style of your article." ”

This long-haired girl is Shen You, one of the most popular female authors of "Ding Novel", and the style of her work is close to Yan Sù literature all the way, so Xue Muliang has the above evaluation.

The next conversation between the two basically revolved around Xue Muliang's new book, and the two also talked about the characteristics of bestsellers, Xue Muliang once again emphasized that "authors who only write for the market will never be popular", and finally, they still teased each other about the scandal between the two, and this part of the content is naturally for an advertisement on the cover:

"Xue Muliang and Shen You face to face, talking about the scandal between the two for the first time, what is the truth?"

After the conversation, the shooting of the magazine cover began, and one of the most criticized places about "Ding Novel" is that its cover will appear every once in a while The personal photos of the boss Xue Muliang will appear, and this time there is a beautiful writer, and the gimmick is not enough.

On the other hand, with the unremitting efforts of the editor, Adam finally showed mercy and spent 40 minutes to temporarily rush out a manuscript.

In order to maintain the throne of the first sales of the magazine, "Ding Novel" can be said to have made sufficient preparations, in fact, according to Xue Muliang's estimation and old experience, as long as Xue Muliang's new book interview is released, there is basically no suspense in the first place.

However, this adjustment forced the magazine to be postponed by another three days, directly to the beginning of May.

Anyway, the postponement of the listing is already a major feature of "Ding Novel", and the staff and the boss himself have never been ashamed, but proud, so when Xue Muliang released the news on the microblog, the complacent and ingenious tone still couldn't be concealed.

Just when Xue Muliang thought that this time the defense of the title was foolproof, Liu Jingting quietly handed over the manuscript of chapters 4-6 of "Shuke and Beta" to Editor-in-Chief Yao.

Beta drove a tank to defeat Miri;

Beta ran away and wounded the little sparrow with a cannonball made of stones;

Beta who drives a tank and Shuk who drives a plane start a big battle.

Editor-in-chief Yao quickly browsed the manuscript, and actually had a feeling of excitement, as the editor-in-chief for nearly ten years, because of a manuscript, the excitement of xù has long ceased to exist, in fact, this time it is not all because of the manuscript itself, but because the expectations of young readers are too enthusiastic.

"Children's Literature and Art" really made a semi-monthly digest magazine named "Reading Frontier" in accordance with Liu Jingting's mention, which in addition to the selection of the essence of the magazine, is to continue to serialize Liu Jingting's "Shuke and Beta".

Just like the previous magazine listing, there was no overwhelming advertising, no large-scale publicity, a small and delicate publication quietly came to bookstores across the country, and next to it was the king of magazines that had been dragged on again and again - "Ding Novel".

The bookstores put out the big billboards that had been prepared for a long time, and the most conspicuous position read, "Xue Muliang's editor-in-chief "Ding Novel" has arrived!"

The ad that followed: "Shuck and Beta are coming!"

[Merry Christmas to you!]
