Chapter 326 Eyebrows
In December, the capital received its first snow of the year.
The amount of snow was too small, and before it could accumulate whiteness, it had been crushed into a dark black snow slurry by vehicles and pedestrians. It's wet and it's cold.
In the evening, outside a famous hot pot villa in the suburbs of Beijing, Deng Zheng, who was wearing a signature outing gear, had just parked the car when he saw Zheng Wenhan, who was wearing a red down jacket and wrapped like a bear, trotting over from the lobby to greet him. Because the temperature is too low, under the light, you can vaguely see that all the way through, the breath has condensed into a fine white frost mist in the air.
"Brother Zheng, you're here. Phantom Ping and Yu Chi were already inside. ”
"I told you earlier, just send me a small courtyard number. You're standing here all the time on such a cold day?"
"It's not cold to stay in the lobby. ”
Deng Zheng glanced at him helplessly, "You, if you do this again, sooner or later you will be seen by Wei Chi." ”
"Don't worry, Brother Zheng, the official statement is that I, Lao Zheng, came down to choose wine. ”
Deng Zheng shook his head and smiled, knowing that he was so urinating, so he didn't say anything more. Follow him upstairs.
This hot pot villa is particularly famous near the capital, and it is often necessary to locate a few days in advance in winter, Deng Zheng just had a meal here with Li Jin, Fan Jia and Guo Rui a few days ago, and the little rich woman Li Jin bought the bill, which cost quite a lot. Therefore, in the process of going up the stairs, he glanced at the two bottles of famous wine in his hand, and smiled: "Wen Han, you seem to be preparing for heavy bleeding today?"
Zheng Wenhan immediately said: "Brother Zheng, if you are willing to appreciate your face, I am willing to bleed every day!" and paused. Said sincerely: "This time "Qi Mei Stick", thank you Brother Zheng!"
Today's meal is his treat. said that it was a year-end gathering, and by the way, it celebrated Wei Chihong's return from the crew of the movie "Deep Sleep". But he himself knew. There is another important meaning, which is to express my heartfelt gratitude to Master Deng Zheng.
His "Knife, Sword, Stick" novella martial arts trilogy, "The Story of the Chai Knife" and "The Sword of the Deadless" take the road of direct entities, although the churning waves are not small, and the cumulative sales of more than one million copies have also received considerable attention, but compared to the kind of effect he wants to achieve, there is still a lot of distance.
The final chapter of this time, "Qi Mei Stick", is the one in his trilogy that he feels is not as well written as he wants, and is relatively flat. As a result, it was sent to the "Shenzhou Martial Arts" magazine by Master Deng Zheng, and recommended as a long-form main hit to succeed "The Condor Heroes". Although this is a medium-length novel, and the 3 serials in December have ended, but being able to play a long-form role in the "Holy Journal" of today's martial arts novels and the million-level "Shenzhou Martial Arts" with a single issue of subscriptions, the affirmation and promotion of the three words "Yu Zhongtang" is by no means comparable to selling three or five bestsellers in a bookstore!
You must know that since the launch of "Shenzhou Martial Arts", the first person to publish an article in the long special edition was Jin Liang, and he was in Zhongtang. It can be said that with this, the popularity and status of the rivers and lakes in this circle have risen dramatically!
Deng Zheng smiled. patted him on the shoulder: "It's your own book this time, and it's really well written." ”
He didn't mean to be polite, although Zheng Wenhan's "Qi Mei Stick" is the shortest in the trilogy. With less than 200,000 words, he himself seems a little less confident. But Deng Zheng felt that it was the best written of the three.
Eyebrow sticks. Originally, it meant a kind of stick. It is often made of ash rods. There is a thick handle, and the stick is straight and the height of the human eyebrow, so it gets this name.
However, Zheng Wenhan gave this stick the meaning of "eyebrows" in the "raising the case and raising eyebrows" between husband and wife, and the content is also a story about the experience of a young couple in the rivers and lakes.
When this young couple was young, they were both famous young heroes in the rivers and lakes, and they scolded Fang Xuan and fought for righteousness. A chance encounter, because the families of both sides strongly opposed to fighting and killing, so they immediately loved to live or die, and after five levels and six will resolutely elope away regardless of everything. However, the love that lost the pressure of external survival, after becoming firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, became each other who shouted and killed. When the nose was blue and the face was swollen and the body was bruised and bruised, a heavy treasure called "Qi Mei Stick" suddenly appeared, and the two were involved in it, and a series of bizarre stories that were ridiculous occurred......
The pattern of this book is not large, and the plot is a little absurd, but in Deng Zheng's view, it just gives full play to Zheng Wenhan's advantages, the light-hearted and casual nature of the pen, all kinds of gags and twists, and writes this not complicated story interesting and hilarious. Coupled with a strong chivalrous spirit in the market, with a bit of realistic banter...... is a rather chic martial arts novel.
This is also in line with Deng Zheng's current positioning of Zheng Wenhan, hoping that he can make use of his strengths and avoid his weaknesses, and stop pursuing the plot weird and unbelievable like "The Sword of Death", causing all kinds of fake big emptiness, but digging more into the market, and striving to make everyone read his novels, as easy as drinking beer and chatting and farting with friends on a summer night.
Then, truly form your own label.
Of course, the Master leads the way into the door, and the cultivation is personal. This question has been said more than once or twice, and it is up to him whether he can listen to it or not. I hope that the praise of the serialization of "Qi Mei Stick" this time can make him realize something......
While talking, the two had already walked to the door of the small courtyard of the private room. Zheng Wenhan stepped forward and knocked on the door.
The door opened, and a strong aroma and warmth of donkey meat broth came to his face, wearing a royal blue turtleneck, his face was flushed, and Phantom Ping, who was as bright as the sunset, stood at the door. didn't speak, only nodded at Deng Zheng. After Deng Zheng entered the house, he habitually and naturally took the woolen coat he took off and hung it on the hanger next to him. Right next to his coat.
"Brother Deng, I can see you. You said what happened to you in the past few months, it's harder for my buddy to see you than to see Jin Liang!"
When Yu Chihong saw Deng Zheng, he immediately greeted him with a smile, grabbed Deng Zheng's arm, and pulled him to sit down.
"Where I'm busy, it's you who are too busy. Movie coffee is worthy of being a movie coffee, tsk tsk, you see the meat on this shoulder. ”
"The director asked for it. Said that this is a child's play, and I am playing a hot-blooded criminal policeman who has just graduated, and his body has to be hard and strong enough to be right! Dude, tell you, this time, I thought it was a blind show by an unknown director, and I may not be able to go to theaters after filming, otherwise why could I be selected as the third male? Guess what, I'll go! On the first day I joined the group, I met two actor-level bosses, I had to play with these two directly, and I had to scold one of them, so panicked that all the lines I had memorized the day before were bald, and I ......lost the dead."
The two of them were talking lively, and Huanping, who was sitting next to Deng Zheng, smiled lightly on her face, but sighed in her heart:
Yu Chi, you stupid boy, although the role you played is the third male, it was originally specially prepared by someone else for the black-faced god next to you, can it be worse?!(To be continued......
