Chapter 88: Hype

In Jin Yong's office, he only listened to Hu Xuefeng's story.

At the beginning, Jin Yong and Huang Wenzheng, the invited editor of Ming Pao, were still lacking in interest, but when they heard Hu Xuefeng finish talking about the first part of the prequel of "Kunlun", Mr. Jin Yong, who is a master of martial arts novels, began to be moved.

After Hu Xuefeng finished speaking, he paused, and looked at Jin Yong with blazing eyes, hoping that he could comment on this first martial arts work praised as the post-Jin Yong era.

"Good!"

Jin Yong cherishes words like gold, but this one is good enough, it is enough to describe his evaluation of "Kunlun", the old man is very happy, so he asked Hu Xuefeng to continue to talk about it.

Hu Xuefeng saw that it was getting late, and he was afraid that Chen Fa would not find him when he returned to the hotel, so he used Jin Yong's office landline to call the hotel and leave a message that Chen Fa should not panic.

After making the call, Hu Xuefeng continued to speak.

But this time, Jin Yong found two transcription editors, here Hu Xuefeng was talking, and over there, the transcription editor was struggling to copy.

By the time Hu Xuefeng spoke dryly, and finally finished all the prequels of "Kunlun", it was almost nine o'clock in the evening.

Hu Xuefeng was thirsty and hungry, but Jin Yong, Huang Wenzheng and a few other Ming Pao personnel were excited to listen.

"Okay, okay!" Jin Yong got up, held Hu Xuefeng's hand, and said excitedly, "Mr. Hu, I never thought that you were so talented, disrespectful and disrespectful. ”

Hu Xuefeng was very embarrassed, this was not his article after all.

Jin Yong didn't know the inside story, so while a few editors were sorting out the manuscript, he said to Hu Xuefeng, "Mr. Xiaohu, how many words does your novel have?"

After speaking, he asked a little embarrassedly, "Can you hand over the novel to us to be serialized in Ming Pao?"

Hu Xuefeng laughed, "Mr. Cha, you can publish the newspaper for me for free, why can't I hand over the novel to Ming Pao for serialization? The novel has been completed, about one million words." ”

Jin Yong was even more overjoyed in his heart.

In the past few years, he has stopped creating, and Ming Pao's novels are mainly published in Gu Long's novels, but this guy often drinks and makes mistakes, and the manuscript is often delayed, which has become a pain in Jin Yong's heart.

Now that he learned that Hu Xuefeng actually had a million-word martial arts masterpiece, Jin Yong couldn't help but be overjoyed, and after a little silence, he said, "Mr. Xiao Hu, in business, your novel is brilliant, with a strong sense of history, novel techniques, and fascinating stories, I will give you a price of 80 words, what do you think?"

"This ......"

Hu Xuefeng really didn't think about collecting money.

However, the price given by Jin Yong is indeed not very high, which is in line with his rumored character.

Jin Yong saw Hu Xuefeng hesitating, thinking that he was disgusted with the low manuscript fee, so he hurriedly explained, "Mr. Hu, now that the Hong Kong newspaper industry is in a recession, this price is not low." ”

Hu Xuefeng didn't want to collect money, but when he saw Jin Yong like this, he nodded and agreed.

Although the book is not his brainchild, he can't let the pearl be dusted.

After setting the price, Jin Yong asked Huang Wenzheng to arrange for the editor to typeset the prequel of "Kunlun" as soon as possible and publish it as a serial newspaper tomorrow, and then agreed with Hu Xuefeng that in the next few days, he would let the transcription editor come to the hotel where Hu Xuefeng stayed to copy the novel, and strive to transcribe all the millions of words of "Kunlun" before Hu Xuefeng left Hong Kong.

After arranging these things, Jin Yong remembered that everyone hadn't eaten yet, so he invited Hu Xuefeng to his home for dinner.

Hu Xuefeng shook his head and refused.

First, he and Jin Yong only met for the first time, and secondly, he was afraid that Chen Fa would not find himself to call the police.

Declined Jin Yong's invitation, Hu Xuefeng walked out of the Ming Pao newspaper office, took a taxi, said the location of the hotel, and asked the driver to drive him back quickly.

When I returned to the hotel, sure enough, I saw Chen Fa in a hurry in the hotel lobby.

Chen Fa saw Hu Xuefeng return safely, so he breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "My little ancestor, where did you go, this is Hong Kong, not Yangcheng." ”

Hu Xuefeng knew that he cared and didn't hide it, so he told him about going to the newspaper office today to prepare to publish the newspaper to hype, and after finishing speaking, he hurriedly shouted, "I'm starving, take me to dinner." ”

Chen Fa didn't expect that when Hu Xuefeng first arrived in Hong Kong, he would become a New Year's friend with Jin Yong, and at this time, he had to look at the young man in front of him with admiration.

Chen Fa took Hu Xuefeng to order a few dishes at a Chinese restaurant next to the hotel, and then told Hu Xuefeng about meeting Jin Yong.

Hu Xuefeng said something for a day, but he didn't want to say a word at this time.

However, looking at Chen Fa's pitiful appearance, Hu Xuefeng had no choice but to say a few casual words about his meeting with Jin Yong, but when he said that he would serialize the novel in Ming Pao, and Jin Yong also gave a high price of 80 words per thousand words, Chen Fa suddenly jumped up.

"This can't be!" Chen Fa likes to read martial arts novels very much, and everyone knows a lot about several martial arts novels in Hong Kong.

Eighty thousand words, one million words is 80,000 Hong Kong dollars, Chen found that either he heard it wrong, or the old man Jin Yong was drunk, otherwise, how could he give such a high price?

You must know that when everyone like Gu Long and Ni Kuang first started writing, the manuscript fee was only like this.

"Believe it or not. ”

Hu Xuefeng didn't want to explain to him, so after eating, he told Chen Fa to find a professional company specializing in technology transfer negotiations as soon as possible, and then went back to the hotel to sleep with his head covered.

The next day, a sunny day.

For ordinary Hong Kong citizens, this is just an ordinary day, but for some martial arts fans who like martial arts novels, today is the time for the release of a new issue of Ming Pao.

Thinking of the novel that Gu Long and Ni Kuang were serializing, these martial arts fans went out to buy newspapers early in the morning, but when they got the newspaper, they found that Gu Long's novel was missing, and the serialization section of the novel was serialized by an article called "Kunlun" written by a guy with a pen name called "nonsense".

Some people feel disappointed, but the newspaper has been bought, so they can only read it, when they read the Kunlun prequel Shu Dao difficult, serial robbery and three cai change three articles, they were immediately attracted fans, although they still don't know who the "nonsense" is, but they all think that there is another person in the martial arts novel world.

With the hot sale of the newspaper, "Kunlun" quickly exploded all martial arts fans in Hong Kong, however, some people found that in this issue of Ming Pao, there was also a technology transfer advertisement about "air conditioning inverter technology", some people were at a loss, did not know what inverter technology was, but when this news fell into the eyes of those who cared, it suddenly formed a monstrous wave!
