Chapter 176: Three Consecutive Strikes, Single Book (II)

"Tie the knot in the tree...... What is the relationship between Shen Da and Sister Qiaomu?"

"Short martial arts is not bad, two or three issues are a story, but the meaning is still unfinished. ”

"Those four hustards are so funny!"

When Shen Zhe and Lin Yuhan returned to campus after another vacation, "Mandarin Duck Knife" met with readers.

"White Horse" still has more than 60,000 words in three issues, but "Mandarin Duck Knife" is only 30,000 words, and the two issues of serialization are not enough, but the unique characters depicted in it are still eye-catching.

In terms of topicality alone, the latter is not weaker than the former.

The use of funny robbery anecdotes to start is a very clever innovation.

[Our eldest brother is Yanxia Shenlong Xiaoyaozi, the second brother is a two-handed monument Changchangfeng, the third brother is a meteor catching the moon and the sword shadow, and the next is eight steps to catch the toad, Saizhuanzhu, stepping on the snow without a trace, flying on the water with one leg, and covering the seven provinces with double thorns, and the ......] The robbers who exposed their own terrifying names turned out to be a bunch of nonsense bastards, plus Zhou Weixin, the head of the dart who often recites "Jianghu Yandao" in his heart but always does wrong things, can be called the five big people.

Shen Zhe is no stranger to such characters in Jin Yong's story, "Taiyue Four Heroes" is just an appetizer, and the follow-up "Six Immortals of Peach Valley" can be regarded as a development.

In the middle, Zhou Botong, the strongest old naughty boy who can compare the protagonist, is created.

As soon as I opened the book, fans laughed and applauded for this kind of character arrangement.

After reading the first issue, it was like eating a fly.

Pinching climax is a necessary skill for editors, and after discussion, the editor of Dongfang Yigan decided to divide the whole story into two parts and serialize it, pinching it in "It turns out that he is my brother, it turns out that he is my brother...... He is my brother ......". At the birthday banquet, the male protagonist Yuan Guannan and one of the mothers of the female protagonist Xiao Zhonghui - Mrs. Yuan's mother and son recognized each other, and staged a "brother and sister" drama.

Although there is no "Thunderstorm" in Huaxia, such plots are not uncommon in other works.

For a while, all kinds of discordant voices came out.

"The author gives me the impression that he has always been at the forefront of innovation, but it's a pity that this time I'm going to fry someone else's cold rice. ”

"The hype is still this extremely bloody episode. ”

"I have already guessed the follow-up plot, it is nothing more than that Yuan Guannan and Xiao Zhonghui are not related by blood, but this is another problem. In modern society, it is called pseudo-blood relationship because of the marriage of parents who have the same kinship as blood relatives. Whether emotionally or ethically, it belongs to the category of forbidden marriage, not to mention that the background of the story belongs to a feudal family. Judging from previous works, such a plot arrangement is definitely a failure......"

A reader with the ID "Shen's Book Fan 0001" posted on Pingshu.com.

After two years of accumulation, Shen Zhe's senior book fans have reached a terrifying order of magnitude.

"Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" and "The Little Prince" broke out twice, but in terms of quantity, Shen's readers should be counted in tens of millions. Excluding the vast majority of "tourist" book lovers, they can still surpass all best-selling authors, and over time, loyal book lovers will be second to none in China.

The so-called loyal book lover means that no matter how good or bad the new work is, it cannot be bullied by others.

"How do you know that Shen Da has no other arrangements?"

"Shen Da's mind is not something my generation can guess, just read quietly, what kind of big-tailed wolf you pretend, you have the ability to write one!"

See also the "You go, you go" argument.

"I looked at the registration time of the landlord, 15:20 this afternoon, although I am a fan of Shen's books, but I have understood everything. ”

……

In mid-August, Shen Zhe came to Ziwei High School alone.

The old principal made a special call to him last month, asking if he was on vacation and whether he was going to go back to Zhonghai. After learning that Shen Zhe was coming back for the summer vacation, he immediately arranged for him to give another sprint speech for the junior high school students when the new semester started at the end of August.

It's an arrangement, not an invitation.

With this student who can be said to be a lifetime, Principal Ren simply relied on the old and sold the old.

The trouble of people is to be a good teacher.

For work such as being someone else's teacher and being a guiding light for the end of school, Shen Zhe is now afraid of it.

So go back to your alma mater before the start of your third year of high school and give an explanation.

"Why are you here today?"

In the principal's office, the old principal had a resentful expression on his face, and he saw Shen Zhe's goosebumps.

"Principal, it's going to be five days before school starts, and I'm going to Yanjing the day after tomorrow, otherwise I'll be late." You asked me to give a speech to the junior high school students, but I just want to be a mascot, and I have to work hard for them to do what they will do......"

The old principal smacked and said, unwillingly: "It's not okay to be late for school, and you're right." ”

Shen Zhe scratched his head and said sorry to the old man, knowing that he was unwilling to show off in front of the teachers and students of the whole school, and it didn't matter if he fooled around.

"Last year's and this year's enrollment work is thanks to you, and parents in the north of the city are willing to send students to ......"

Shen Zhe said modestly: "That is to believe in the education level of our school. ”

The old principal laughed and said: "The smell of wine is also afraid of deep alleys, it's not that you are a blockbuster, and people don't know that Zhonghai and Ziwei High School are famous!"

Schools?

Shen Zhe couldn't cry or laugh, he proclaimed himself a famous school, look at this old man.

"Let's go, it's been two months since the stadium you donated was completed, I'll take you for a walk, build another dormitory building, and you will have a famous school atmosphere!"

Passing by the teaching building, the old principal suddenly said, "What do you think about making a statue here?"

Shen Zhe almost made a mistake, and waved his hand again and again: "Principal, I'm not dead yet!"

"Nonsense, not a living person?"

still discarded the nonsense of the statue, and thought of it again: "If it weren't for Teacher Fan, we wouldn't have known that your name was so valuable, and the essay collection could sell more than two million copies." After deducting the cost, nearly 4 million yuan was distributed to the school, and the city heard that you donated to build it, and allocated a sum of money, and now we have the No. 1 stadium in the city! By the way, I heard Mr. Fan say that you opened the publishing house?

"Yes. ”

Uncle Wei gave half of the share ratio, claiming not to make a penny, in fact, after deducting the cost, part of the profit went into the company's account.

It's not like words to let Editor-in-Chief Zhong work without making money.

Teacher Fan was the only one who suffered financially in this matter, and he didn't gain a lot of effort, but it helped him establish his status in the school.

The stadium is really magnificent, and it is almost "splendid".

Back in the principal's office, Teacher Fan, who got the news, was already waiting, and when he saw Shen Zhe coming in, he got up and handed over an old book.

"Teacher Fan, what is this?"

Versace smiled: "Help sign it, my girl likes this book the most, and she has been begging me to ask you for an autograph for the past two months, but unfortunately the last time I saw you in Yanjing, the book had not yet been published, and I only ran into it today." ”

"Heh, Mr. Fan just needs to make a phone call, and I'll send someone to the door. ”

The old principal also came over and said, "Your book is amazing, I heard that the city government is going to award you the title of youth model......

Shen Zhe stopped writing and said in surprise: "What kind of model am I?"

The old principal doesn't seem to know much about literary matters, but Versace knows better.

"The Little Prince" is rare to win the hearts of readers all over the world, and when I care about the author, I naturally mention Zhonghai by the way, which is of great help to enhance the image of the city. What the city lacks is cultural heritage, and of course you have to express your ...... when you encounter this kind of thing."

Signing and chatting, the two teachers asked if Yanda was studying normally.

The so-called normal, like the teachers in the university, the requirement for Shen Zhe is naturally to overwhelm everyone, otherwise it will be regarded as smashing the signboard of the high school.

It happened that Shen Zhe looked up and saw a banner hanging on the opposite wall, as well as his "intimate photo" with the principal last year.

I couldn't help but smile bitterly.

……

"You are the author, and now someone is insinuating that article, which is a bit excessive. ”

Before leaving home again, Shen Zhe went to the magazine office.

Several editors-in-chief who knew each other came in to say hello, and they were busy again, leaving only the editor-in-chief Zhong Li and Uncle Wei, who managed the publication.

"There are two recent articles about you that need attention. ”

Zhongli took out two newspapers from the folder next to him and pushed them across his desk.

Shen Zhehu took it suspiciously, and the first article was published in the supplement of a newspaper in the north with the signature "Unknown" "Those Who Do Zhongyong". Just looking at the title and pointing the finger at him, the content is a review of the recent series of works in general.

"Anonymous?"

Uncle Wei shook his head and said disdainfully: "Someone in the literary world." ”

"The response from these two short stories has been very good, and they generally think that the reading is very good, and they have keenly noticed that you are trying to change the style......"

Readers have already found that professional researchers know better.

The second article is Sun Changqing's commentary on the "Southern Weekly" -- "The Hope of Martial Arts: Shen Zhe's Exploration"

Shen Zhe browsed it, scratched the corners of his mouth and said, "It feels like a sycophant?"

"Ha, Professor Sun's status in today's martial arts world is not low, and relevant comments are sent from him. Judging from the past few articles, I am very blue-eyed to you, the founder of martial arts, do you want to respond?"

"Response?" Shen Zhe was stunned and said, "I still need to respond to the comment?"

Zhongli was speechless and said, "There is no such rule, but he is a senior, and he has been speaking for you, so he always has to express himself, right?"

He began to slander Shen Zhe's deliberately low-key behavior, Dongfang was established for a year, except for the industry and well-informed people, few book fans knew that the boss behind it was the author himself. If you hold a media conference, announce the news, and invite some book lovers to attend, the circulation of the magazine can go to a higher level. It's a pity that Shen Zhe didn't talk about meeting media reporters, even the book signing and book fan meetings were all pushed back.

Last year, I didn't think that in the process of preparing for the new company, I thought about how much effort Shen Zhe could save by showing up, so I started to be unhappy.

"Let me think about it. ”

"But since Professor Sun said that I am exploring short stories, the next one will be a short story, and it will be sent next week. ”

"How many words?" Uncle Wei suddenly asked.

"Ha, more than ten thousand. ”

“…… Oh, I see, 60,000, 30,000, 10,000, it's getting shorter and shorter, you're really doing the opposite, and another trilogy is coming out. ”

"A short trilogy?" Zhong said.

Shen Zhe thought for a while, and had a general plan in his heart, and at this time Zhong Li suddenly said: "If you really leave the reader for two years, the matter of Zhongyong in the first article is confirmed!"

After speaking, he and Uncle Wei both stared at him with blazing eyes.

"What do you see me doing?"

"Waiting for you to pat your chest and promise, when the time comes, the king will return with the new book, and the king will come to China!"

"......"

When I think about it, it should be a good feeling.

……

"The highlight of this book is the funny robbery of the four robbers at the beginning, but as soon as the brothers and sisters came out, there was no light. ”

"The sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes are informal, as long as they are not blood relatives, I can accept it. ”

"Looking forward to the next one. ”

"It's a pity that a genius author who may become a type grandmaster is about to fall halfway. ”

The book fan group was filled with all kinds of voices, and even the most loyal Shen fans began to wonder if "Mandarin Duck Knife" was a failed work of Shen Da, and the ending part suddenly appeared.

Everyone knows the date of the magazine's release, and it's certainly not obtrusive.

What is striking is the twist of the plot.

[Xiao Banhe laughed and said: "I have been disguised for 16 years, and today I will return my original face to Xiao Yi.] Stretching out his hand and wiping it on his face, everyone was stunned when they saw it. 】

【…… I, Xiao Yi, am a eunuch. 】

Everyone was stunned.

"Ha, Shen Da is Shen Da, he has been innovating, how can he fry other people's leftovers. ”

"The turning point of genius, not only are the two not related by blood, Xiao Banhe turned out to be a eunuch, naturally he is not a family, and they are all happy. ”

"Comedy can also be scary, and there is really no one else who has this skill. ”

At the same time, in a certain study in Shonan, a middle-aged man also said: "What a genius twist! It is no problem to arrange a 100,000-word plot in this paragraph alone, and it is too extravagant to be used in a 10,000-word essay!"

He had three books and dozens of magazines in his hand, and on the side was a piece of paper full of words, and the first few lines of handwriting could be faintly seen.

"Chivalry: The Righteousness of the State and the Nation Turns to the ...... of Folk Private Heroes"

"The story is the winner, the character is the ......"

"The innovation of martial arts, this set of husband and wife knife techniques may be just the beginning......"

The middle-aged man smiled slightly wryly.

"Young people's thinking just can't keep up, am I already behind?"

……

A high-end western restaurant in Zhonghai.

Shen Zhe showed off his broken French, amused the waiter, and offered a complete set of preferential services.

"Anyway, you want to invite me to dinner for some reason, what's the reason?"

With the familiarity of Shen Zhe and Lin Yuhan, there is no need to avoid their parents to eat in this restaurant.

"After twenty years of waiting, you've finally grown into a big girl. Shen Zhe sighed.

Lin Yuhan frowned: "What do you mean?"

"Oh, it's not interesting, it's just a little emotional to watch a little girl grow up as an adult girl. ”

"Cut, pretend to be a ghost, anyway, if you invite me, I'll eat. Lin Yuhan rolled his eyes, and was about to start, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of Shen Zhe's somewhat hot gaze, was stunned, and suddenly understood something.

"Alas, this is the restaurant, it is forbidden to use your hands, put the fork down!"

"Hmph, let your thoughts be dirty, I'll poke!"

……

At night, Shen Zhe was half lying in his bedroom, hehe had a lot of fun, opened the notebook and typed a few lines.

Three short martial arts: "White Horse Whistling West Wind", "Mandarin Duck Knife", "Yue Nu Sword"

Single book: "Connecting the Cities"

Staring at it for a while, deleting it, and starting to "snap" on the document.

["Please!" "Please!"

[The two swordsmen each turn the tip of their sword upside down, hold the hilt of the sword in their right hand, place their left hand on the back of their right hand, and bow down to salute ......] (To be continued.) )
