How did it happen?

A new magazine with no name, a magazine that was supposed to be aimed at veterans and farmers who were interested in starting a business and getting rich, suddenly saw a surge in sales in the middle of April. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Not only were the second issues of the magazines that were still entrusted to Xinhua bookstores around the country to help sell them were snatched up, but even the inaugural issues of those Xinhua bookstores around the country that were ready to be returned to the editorial office of "Tongpao" were not left.

In addition, the editorial department of "Tongpao" has successively received consignment calls from the head offices of Xinhua bookstores in various provinces.

The person in charge of the Xinhua Bookstore in Shanghai, who had been contacted through the Nanjing Military Region, personally visited the bookstore for one purpose, asking the editorial department of "Tongpao" to supply the "Tongpao" periodicals to all Xinhua bookstores in Shanghai and surrounding counties in the future.

As for those strange consultation calls with different accents, southern accents, and Mandarin with a hometown flavor, there are even more.

These individual bosses who claim to be xxx private bookstores, xx newsstands, and xx bookstalls are very generous, and they open their mouths to subscribe to future magazines, and they want to order hundreds of magazines as soon as they say it, aren't they afraid of magazines smashing in their hands?

However, every time they encountered this situation, the operator of the editorial department rolled his eyes directly after knowing that the other party was not a state-run bookstore, and then said a few words to the snake and hung up the phone.

Don't think that people in this era are still as simple and kind as a few years ago, after a few years of reform and opening up, all kinds of liars and slanderers have begun to appear in China, and many people have been deceived and their families are broken.

Letters and phone calls to the editorial office of the journal have changed dramatically, and many readers have suddenly appeared asking how to subscribe to the magazine and whether they can still buy the first two issues of the magazine.

These circumstances made the editors of the editorial department of "Tongpao" feel very strange for a while, and then the operator learned the truth of the matter from the telephone and the readers' letters -- four days ago, the "Reading Club" of the "Voice of Literature and Art" channel of the Central People's Radio shared the story of "Bright Sword."

Four days ago?

Four days ago!

Ah, that night the editorial office was finalizing the fourth issue of the magazine, and the staff were busy, and no one was listening to the radio.

Hiss......

Is this the power of the Central People's Radio?!

It's amazing!

The editors who learned the truth were shocked. The heart is full of unexpected surprises.

Kitajima, who learned the original story, crossed his hands on his hips and stood in the conference room of the editorial office with a long smile, sure enough, how smart I was when I had the idea of letting Govin serialize the novel!

In the admiring eyes of the editors, Beidao waved his hand and gave Lao Tzu a dry job! We must take advantage of this opportunity to make "Fellow" a blockbuster!

So a group of editors sighed and got busy again.

What is the saying?

Pain and joy.

That's right, this unintentional remark by Govin during the chat represents the voice of all the members of the "Fellow" magazine!

Although everyone is busy and tired, their hearts are extremely happy and happy.

It is not an exaggeration to say that "Fellow" was a blockbuster.

After the indirect advertising of the Central People's Radio, and with the word of mouth of readers, the magazine received so much information that the overjoyed editor-in-chief Kitajima ordered the inaugural issue and the second issue of the magazine to be printed in 100,000 copies each and put on the market.

But within a few days, the 200,000 copies of the magazine were sold out. As a result, Kitajima had to start commissioning a printing house to reprint the third volume.

This time Kitajima gritted his teeth and took a risk.

For the printing house, the more books printed at one time, the lower the cost, and naturally the lower the price asked from the magazine.

So this time, in addition to the order of nearly 40,000 copies of each of the two issues of the magazine, Beidao printed 80,000 more copies each, and it took less than half a month for the two issues of 160,000 copies of the magazine to be sold, and they did not fall into the hands of the magazine.

At this point, the market will be saturated.

At the same time, a staggering 160,000 readers subscribed to the magazine throughout the year!

This made the director of the printing house also painful and happy, and the more the number of magazines printed, the more profit the factory would be. But he had previously signed a contract with Kitajima to print the calendar for the magazine at cost price.

That's 160,000 calendars! What a profit to lose! Even the leftovers of printed matter can also be exchanged for money!

In just two months, the newly founded "Tongpao" magazine began to turn losses into profits, and the number of copies printed exceeded 300,000 in one fell swoop.

And that's just the beginning.

"Tongpao" magazine became a blockbuster, and "Bright Sword" suddenly became popular in the whole land of China.

Compared with Li Xinhua's publication of the novel "Scars" back then, the sensation caused by "Bright Sword" is no worse.

When the literary and artistic youths were chatting together, if they didn't comment a few words, Li Yunlong and Chu Yunfei would simply not be able to claim that they were literary and art lovers, and they would be despised and eager to find a hole to sneak into.

The girls quarreled over who was the best boyfriend between Li Yunlong, Chu Yunfei and Zhao Gang.

In the countryside, in the factory, everyone is tired and idle, and they also like to find a literate person to tell them the story of the bright sword, especially the plot of Li Yunlong cleaning up the little devil, everyone really likes this scolding and scolding "cunning big drop" Li Yunlong.

And in the streets and alleys, those children who ride bamboo horses and have long snots under their noses have also begun to play a street battle game of fighting Japanese devils these days.

They pretended to clasp their hands into fists, and one said: Brother Yunlong, don't come to harm? The other replied: Boss Chu, Wishing you prosperity! This one said: Oh, you're Ichiro Hirata, right? Where are your 50,000 oceans? Lao Tzu is Li Yunlong of the Eighth Route Army. The other shouted: Chu Yunfei is here, no one moves, Ichiro Hirata, where is my 50,000 oceans? Then a group of little children danced wildly, slashed in the air with sticks, and the shouts of biubiu trumpets resounded through the cramped alleys.

The little kids have everything, brooms for hair removal, broken bamboo sticks, and even the little red flag of the aunt of the neighborhood committee can come in handy. He throws a left hook, you return a pistol, twists your ass, is self-satisfied, babbling.

The commotion was so great that even the grinning male dogs at the end of the alley came in to have fun, and scared a group of little hairy children to kick up their feet and run away.

To fight, you have to draw a line and pay attention to some rules in the rivers and lakes. The two of you have played Li Yunlong and Chu Yunfei, you have to change roles, and the child will send these two to play a little Japanese who was caught. There are also some yellow-faced and thin-skinned little dots who are usually assigned to play the role of the Japanese puppet army playing soy sauce.

The noisy little children will naturally cause some old grandmothers to be dissatisfied, and they deliberately make a sad face, leaning on the threshold and scolding. This old man is a lot old, what do you expect her to do, it's like beating a child on a rainy day, and she is idle anyway. But I don't know that every child who is obsessed with street fighting is an angel who is lost in the world.

Nowadays, the slow circulation of periodicals is not visible, but the discussion about "Bright Sword" in the newspapers and on the radio has suddenly become more and more.

……

The strength of "Bright Sword" lies in its portrayal of characters.

Most anti-Japanese novels will always make people feel very fake, empty, and routine, our party is bright and majestic just to save the country and the people, the Japanese army is all perverted bushido, and the Kuomintang is always mediocre and corrupt. Such a character design is very thin, there are only a few lines of crepe, and even the jokes made by the chief are fixed, which cannot impress readers at all.

In contrast, the characters in "Bright Sword" are real, plump, and distinctive, and it is difficult to describe them clearly in a few words. Whether it is Li Yunlong, Zhao Gangwei, a monk of our party, Chu Yunfei, a general of the Kuomintang, or even Yamamoto Kazuki, who is engaged in special operations in the Japanese army, each character has a multifaceted and rich character, and the image is very vivid, as if he is a person who really lives around us. Moreover, it shows the fiasco of the Eighth Route Army and even the total annihilation of the army, the military command of the Japanese generals, and the backbone of some generals in the Kuomintang army, which are very rare in other novels, and add to the realism of "Bright Sword".

"Bright Sword" can be said to have broken a bottleneck for the face-painted anti-Japanese novel. The protagonist is no longer so tall and complete.,Fight on the edge of discipline.,The sword goes off the peak but can defeat all kinds of high-achieving students from professional classes.,Full of swear words and a true temperament.。 It's a sight to behold.

Generally speaking, I rarely read novels about military affairs, I have always liked straightforward descriptions of military history or military reportage, and the magnificent historical data between life and death is enough to shock me, and I always feel that novels are full of too many things that do not belong to the violent aesthetics of the military.

It wasn't until I read this book that my thinking about this changed completely.

I often wonder what qualities a good novel should have, one is superb literary description, and the other is profound ideological connotation. And what is the profound ideological connotation? It is nothing more than choosing a period of ups and downs of history as a grand background, and on this basis, narrating the fate struggle of an individual, revealing the author's profound thinking about the times.

The novel "Bright Sword" has found something that attracts me in terms of literature. The character descriptions are really novel, and I like the characters in the novel, and I like the author's description of them, even if the novel has just written more than 30,000 words.

Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang, Chu Yunfei and those characters who hurriedly appeared a few times are all people who live for their beliefs, and they are people who can protect their beliefs with their lives, and this kind of people deserve the admiration of each of us. In them, we can feel the unswerving spirit of the Chinese army, or in the long run, the Yan and Huang armies.

Li Yunlong: They gave the most perfect explanation of these two spirits.

I like them.

After reading the previous content, I suddenly felt extremely curious about the later plot. Lu Xinhua said in the Central People's Radio that the novel will write buzzing reflections, what kind of description will it be?

As we all know, too many people were knocked down in those ten years, a character like Li Yunlong, a character like Zhao Gang, what kind of persecution will they suffer?

I think "Bright Sword" makes people feel a sense of responsibility to history.

Taking history as a mirror, the novel makes that period of history more real, and makes people, especially young people now, feel that history more truly, how many people use youth and enthusiasm to forge a lifetime of indelible regret, so that generations can taste this bitterness in the following decades.

-- New Weekly

Just the first few strokes, let the protagonist of the novel Li Yunlong stand vividly in front of all readers, scolding a mother, loving to drink, is a label that a man should have is not his real man's true colors, the heroes of the Eighth Route Army The chivalrous temperament is not his patent, Li Yunlong, who combines personality and destiny of the times, and is the most unique Li Yunlong, who is a real man who is fading away!

Govyn really wrote an epoch-making military novel!
