Chapter 568: Together (Part II)
Speaking of the one who came to the door recently, Lu Xi really has something to say, because it is basically Lu Chen's pot. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
One of the things that made my sister speechless.
Before and after the Spring Festival, reporters from many media came to the studio one after another, not to interview Lu Chen, but to inquire about the news of "remembering the present and the past".
"Remembering the Present and the Ancients" is the pen name that Lu Chen used to publish and publish "Smiling Proud Jianghu".
"Smiling Proud Jianghu" was first published in Inspur Reading, which had a certain influence, but because it could not sign a contract with the website, it was spread by readers in a small area.
But in November last year, Shanhai Publishing House officially published "Smiling Proud Jianghu", a total of 5 volumes of 1 million words, according to the publishing contract signed by both parties, including 100,000 sets of hardcover editions, 200,000 sets of paperback editions, and a total of 1.5 million copies of the first printing!
For the private Shanhai Publishing House, publishing "Smiling Proud Jianghu" with such a high standard is also a big risk for them, if the object of the contract is not Lu Chen Studio, which owns the copyright, they will definitely not dare to be so bold.
At that time, Lu Chen's studio also recommended this set of books.
As a result, this novel with the theme of "new modern martial arts" has caused great repercussions in the market, and through the unremitting marketing and promotion of Shanhai Publishing House and the reputation of readers, it has become one of the bestsellers at the end of last year.
Martial arts novels are not a new thing, as early as the Qing Dynasty, there was a classical masterpiece "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness", and the earlier source can be traced back to the Han Dynasty rangers and assassins.
In the modern Republic of China, people were liberated from the feudal shackles, various schools of thought poured into China, the newspaper industry and the publishing industry were unprecedentedly prosperous, and martial arts novels also sprung up. Martial arts public cases and short fight reviews were very popular.
In the seventies and eighties of the last century, a group of martial arts novelists emerged in Xiangjiang and Baodao, who inherited and developed on the basis of previous martial arts novels, giving birth to famous contemporary martial arts novels such as "The Legend of Crazy Heroes" and "Sword Out of the Clouds", and thus there were also martial arts movies and TV series.
But in the nineties, martial arts novels and martial arts films and television went into decline, but they did not break off.
Nowadays, online novels are popular, and many fantasy and fantasy stories also contain the shadow of martial arts novels.
And "Smiling Proud Jianghu" is undoubtedly a very special work, its story is far more exciting than the old-school martial arts novels, the plot is full of ups and downs and climaxes, which is more suitable for the appreciation of modern people's tastes, and then it is not as bizarre and plain as online fantasy novels, giving people a refreshing feeling.
Some critics have named "Smiling Proud Jianghu" as "the pioneering work of new martial arts", asserting that more books of the same type will appear on the market.
As of today, the first edition of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" has sold cleanly both in hardcover and paperback, and 300,000 copies have been printed in the second edition of Shanhai Publishing House, and the third edition has been included in the plan.
"Smiling Proud Jianghu" has stirred up a new martial arts trend in the book market, and Shanhai Publishing House has naturally made a lot of money, and its reputation is so good, so it has naturally attracted the attention of many media.
After reading "Smiling Proud Jianghu", many readers want to know the identity and origin of the author himself, whether he is writing a new book, and related blogs and forums are hotly discussed.
So many media outlets heard the news and wanted to dig out the story behind this best-selling martial arts novel.
As a result, the reporters first ran into a wall at Shanhai Publishing House, in fact, Shanhai Publishing House was also very curious about the author, and thought about inviting the author to sign and sell books, but was politely rejected by Lu Chen's studio.
"Remembering the Ancient World" signed all the copyright agency rights to Lu Chen's studio, I am very mysterious, I don't even have a blog, and I can't find any information about him on the Internet.
So the reporters had to go to Lu Chen's studio to explore the truth, of course Lu Xi knew about it, but she couldn't sell Lu Chen's secret, so she had to refuse on the grounds that the author himself was unwilling to contact the media.
"Look what you're doing!"
Speaking of this, my sister is full of resentment, and she was obviously harassed by media reporters: "Playing mysterious..."
Lu Chen smiled: "Isn't it good? Playing mystery is actually a good marketing method!"
No one is omniscient, Lu Chen not only engages in original music, but also writes TV and movie scripts, and personally participates in and even directs, giving people the feeling that he is omnipotent enough.
Fame or something is enough for him, and there is no need to add the title of "martial arts novelist" to show off, so "Remembering the Present and the Ancient" is destined to remain mysterious, and it will not be fun to uncover the mystery now.
And "Smiling Proud Jianghu" is the beginning of Lu Chen's creation of a great martial arts IP, and winning such a big success in the publishing market also makes him full of confidence.
"I will finish the second book and publish it within the year, and the movie and TV series versions of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" can also be put on the agenda, of course, after the release of "A Chinese Ghost Story" and the filming of "My Love from the Star". ā
Lu Chen calculated, regardless of other projects, this year's work is basically full.
From this point of view, the merger of his and Chen Fei'er's studios can be said to be timely and necessary.
Lu Xi also convinced Lu Chen: "Then if you like to play, just keep playing!"
At 8 o'clock in the evening of the same day, Lu Chen's studio and Chen Fei'er's studio released a photo at the same time on the official v of the Inspur Blog, the content of the photo is very simple, that is, one hand is holding the other, and the background is blurred.
And the title of Xinbo is just three words: together.
The fans of the official V of the two studios are far inferior to Lu Chen and Chen Feier's personal blogs, but such a reverie title and accompanying photos came out at the same time, which immediately caused a huge sensation in the fandom of the two.
Big news, big events!
Comments on the Inspur blog are frenzied.
"Wow, did my Chen and Fei Fei register their marriage?"
"This is the rhythm of the headlines, congratulations to me Chen and my Fei!"
"I wanted to congratulate myself, but my heart was sour, and I felt like crying. ā
"Together, together! together!"
"Finally really together, congratulations!"
A large number of fans believe that the two are about to take the last step, and their love has come to fruition.
There are also a small number of fans who are sour and sad, and their mood is very complicated.
It's just that they/they all guessed wrong!
