Chapter Forty-Three: Burying the Chivalrous Novel Together

When the door was knocked on, Yang Xin had just gotten up and was about to go downstairs to buy breakfast, and Shen Mingcheng went to work at seven o'clock.

The cat's eyes hurriedly opened the door, looked at Lin Yuanzhi, whose eyes were bloodshot, and said in surprise: "Yuanzhi, what's wrong with you, something happened at home?"

Lin Yuanzhi held a stack of manuscript paper in his hand and asked, "Where is Xiao Zhe?"

"Still sleeping," Yang Xin opened the door to let him in, and the fox asked: "It's only half past seven, what's the matter with Xiao Zhe, so urgent?"

Lin Yuanzhi didn't answer, asked Shen Zhe's room, turned around and went in without knocking.

Yang Xin was confused, Lin Yuanzhi and his wife were not at home during the day, and they usually didn't come to visit the door at all, and they only greeted each other occasionally. Just as he was about to go in to see what was going on, Lin Yuhan also came out of the house, looking like he had just washed his face, and his sideburns and hair were still beaded with water.

"Yuhan, what's wrong with your dad?"

Lin Yuhan stomped his foot: "Yesterday Ah Zhe asked me to bring him a novel, my dad didn't sleep all night after reading it, I knew I would give it to him again today!"

"Oh, yes, your dad is the editor-in-chief. Yang Xin looked at the door and sighed, "Then he is looking for Xiao Zhe except for novels, there is no big deal, you shouldn't have had breakfast, Auntie went downstairs to buy it, you go into the house first, and we will eat together." ”

"Aunt Yang, I'll go with you. ”

Shen Zhe was woken up, opened his eyes in a daze, and was startled when he saw Lin Yuanzhi.

I read a book before going to bed last night, and I saw a little more before I knew it, and if my mother didn't supervise him during the holidays, he often slept and woke up naturally.

"Xiao Zhe, I watched "Dragon and Tiger Fighting Jinghua" three times last night, and suddenly felt that there was hope for the chivalrous novel again, was this really written by you?" Lin Yuanzhi also forgot to wake up the sleepy person, will it cause dissatisfaction.

Even if Shen Zhe was dissatisfied, he didn't dare to put it on his face, but asked with a strong spirit: "Uncle Lin, why didn't you go to work after you finished reading?"

"What kind of class!" Lin Yuanzhi said loudly, "Our magazine is about to become a quarterly!"

Shen Zhe smiled, the current situation of chivalry magazines is indeed not very good, twenty years ago, there were more than a dozen companies with a circulation of more than one million copies, and now there are only two left: "Jianghu" and "Ancient and Modern Chivalry". The location of the journal is still in Jiangnan, and Uncle Lin's "Oriental Hero" is also on the verge of extinction.

Since the establishment of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, it has been relatively easy to apply for literary journal numbers, and thousands of newspapers and magazines of all sizes have sprung up at once.

However, after the survival of the fittest, most of them were quickly eliminated, and some of them disappeared without a trace.

Not to mention that it is still a niche chivalrous literature, if it weren't for Zhonghai's still a group of die-hard chivalrous readers, Lin Yuanzhi would have been re-employed.

Maybe those who love this kind of literature have some secondary attributes, and Lin Yuanzhi also admits death, and he is unwilling to change jobs. I heard Lin Yuhan say that Aunt Huang quarreled at home because of this matter, but Uncle Lin is easy to say other things, and when it comes to chivalrous novels, there are only two words: death.

In fact, the two chivalrous magazines in Jiangnan are still mixed well, and no matter how niche they are, there are loyal readers, but Uncle Lin can't always apply for a job alone.

When talking to Zhongli about the chivalrous editor, Shen Zhe made up his mind, because he had signed a contract and obtained the consent of the magazine to show the manuscript to Uncle Lin, which is the most convincing work for literature lovers immersed in the dream world.

"Xiao Zhe, I've heard you say this kind of idea before, it's really a hundred times more wonderful to write, but it can really save a chivalrous novel?"

Lin Yuanzhi has a lot of research on chivalrous novels, and he feels that he can't find hope for revival, and last night he suddenly saw "Dragon and Tiger Fighting Jinghua" that his daughter gave him, and immediately saw a glimmer of light from it, and he came to the door early in the morning without going to work.

Shen Zhe organized the wording, dispelled his illusions in three sentences, and got up to go to "Huaxia Youth" to find a job.

"Chivalrous novels do not conform to the trend of the times and are terminally ill. ”

"I have dozens of manuscripts here, and this one in your hand is just an introduction, and the follow-up works are enough to support another martial arts era!"

"The old things must be broken first, and together we can bury the chivalrous novel and re-create a martial arts genre. In fact, I have never said this to the editorial department of "Chinese Youth", and I plan to prove it with facts in the future. So I hope that Uncle Lin will also join this magazine, and it just so happens that they don't have any editorial talent in this area, so they recommended you to the editor-in-chief. ”

With the same root of China, Shen Zhe has a lot of confidence in this, and no one can get around the popular literature of the original time and space, martial arts.

After Uncle Lin left, Shen Zhe was in the study to catch up with the manuscript, and Lin Yuhan was designing a comic book on the side.

After studying art for several years, and for the first time in actual combat, Lin Yuhan was extremely serious, frowning and meticulous. As soon as I was a little dissatisfied, the drawn artwork was thrown aside, and dozens of copies were saved in just two hours.

In this way, the project has become bigger, and there is nothing else to do, so Shen Zhe lets her do it herself.

In the past few days, Lin Yuhan has been in the Shen family during the day, and the two prospective college students are in the same study, and the relationship seems to be one step closer. Mother smiled all day long, and walked in from time to time to take a look at the situation, Shen Zhe was funny in his heart, but he didn't break it.

Uncle Lin is obsessed with one thing, Aunt Huang goes to work all day long, goes out early and returns late, and her daughter is careless in this regard as soon as she finishes the college entrance examination.

When it was almost noon, I said that I received the news from Zhongli, and I was very satisfied with Lin Yuanzhi's professionalism, especially that kind of love.

"Don't talk about the level, just look at the attitude, our magazine has to be hired!"

It turned out that Lin Yuanzhi listened to Shen Zhe's words, and did not discuss with Aunt Huang, resigned within an hour, and soon rushed to the "Chinese Youth" magazine. After chatting with Zhongli for less than ten minutes, he signed the contract, because he was the deputy editor-in-chief of the original unit, and he joined the martial arts editor-in-chief on the spot, which was more crisp than Su Wei's original job search.

The other is to inform Shen Zhe that the martial arts column will be officially opened next week, serializing "Dragon and Tiger Fighting Jinghua".

Printed the manuscript downstairs and handed it to Lin Yuhan on the side, the little girl didn't lift her head, took it and put it aside to continue her work.

I have to buy another computer, Shen Zhe thought about it again, let's buy two laptops, one for Lin Yuhan. When I went to Yenching to go to university in a few months, I still couldn't do without that thing, as well as my mobile phone, and I went out in the afternoon to do everything.

Don't talk to Lin Yuhan first, let's cut it first, otherwise she will definitely refuse.

When she went out to talk to her mother, Yang Xin was very supportive, but she had questions about the number of her sons: "Two computers, one for each of you, what is the use of buying four mobile phones, one is not enough for you?"

"You and my dad too. ”

Yang Xin frowned and said: "We don't want it, we have a phone at home, and I don't go out much, what do you want a mobile phone for, your father doesn't need it!"

Shen Zhe thinks about it, the current Huaxia is not as flooded as the smartphones in the original time and space, there are three mobile phones for three people in the family, and the mother calls her son to sit still when he eats, and greets him with WeChat.

"Then buy two mobile phones and computers, and I need to talk about it in the future. Shen Zhe turned his head and went to the study again.

Yang Xin slapped her son's buttocks: "Cheap you stinky boy!" She already regarded Lin Yuhan as her daughter-in-law.

Shen Zhe sat in front of the computer and began to think about which novel draft to prepare next.

To engage in literature, you must first gain the support of readers, so he attaches great importance to martial arts. Because this genre has been proven in the original time and space, novels, films, television, and games are all related to the public, and the future is the brightest.

Reborn in a different time and space for so many years, with treasures in his body, he doesn't have too high requirements for profit, and he doesn't have extravagant expectations for fame.

His greatest wish is to make the literature of this time and space more colorful, and he is accustomed to finding reading materials lightly, but he is always not so satisfied with this world where information dissemination and literary works are underdeveloped.

To put it mildly, he was just a man who loved to read.

Shen Zhe would be very happy to be able to use the inspiration of these works in the original time and space to allow Chinese authors to create more and better works.

In this way, he can simply be a reader and enjoy the pleasure of reading.

But for now, it seems that first he needs to entertain the public and the authors of the Huaxia Federation of Literary and Art Circles, and then maybe he can see enough wonderful works.

"Ah Zhe, look at the image of these two Shuke, which one do you like?"

Lin Yuhan's inquiry sounded in his ears, Shen Zhe came back to his senses, took the sketch, and discussed with Lin Yuhan.
