Chapter 342: Jasper Knife!
"Hey, Uncle Yang, good afternoon." Ye Yu said hello with a smile.
"Xiao Yu, you haven't come to my house for a long time. When are you free to come to my house for a meal? On the other end of the phone, Yang Jianhui asked, with a smile on his face.
During this period of time, Ye Yu has given him too many surprises, and the biggest surprise is the 10% stake of Yuye Company held by his son Yang Lu.
He never imagined that the original investment (fixed assets plus cash, plus the channels and connections in the early days of Yuye's establishment) would have achieved such a rich return not long after.
This kind of thing, if it is rare in some high-tech industries, it is not impossible, and even the rate of return is higher, but in the traditional industry of cultural communication, it is absolutely a miracle.
Now the richest person in the Yang family is not himself, but his 19-year-old son Yang Lu.
Every time Yang Jianhui thinks of this, he is proud and happy, but he can't cry or laugh.
Hearing Yang Jianhui's words, Ye Yu smiled a little embarrassedly.
Before the Chinese New Year, he would occasionally go to Yang's house to sit down, or Yang Lu would come to his house to sit and sit, or the two of them would go out to have a barbecue or something.
Two big men got together and chatted, and sure enough, barbecue + beer was the most suitable.
The Ye family and the Yang family have always been in and out frequently, after all, they are world friends, and Ye Yu and Yang Lu are also close friends.
But after the Chinese New Year, he rarely went, for no other reason - he has been busy lately!
"I've been a little busy lately, I'm going to go to my relatives during the Chinese New Year, and I'm going to prepare for the king competition, this dance is not so easy to practice, and the competition ended yesterday, so I got free. I was able to catch my breath. Sometime! I'll come to your door another day to make amends. Ye Yu said, "When the time comes, I will punish myself with three cups!" β
"Okay!" Yang Jianhui laughed and said, "I'll just talk about your Uncle Yang, but I don't really blame you." We all know you're busy. That kid in my family talks a lot, saying that he hasn't seen you for a long time. If I hadn't told him that you've been busy lately and asked him not to disturb you, I'm afraid I would have knocked on your door a long time ago. β
Ye Yu also smiled and said, "How is Yang Lu lately?" β
"Learn from the East and learn from the West in your company." Yang Jianhui said, "I haven't decided what I like to do or what I'm good at." β
"He's just 19 years old, just like me, so he's still early. Let's take a look at it now, and then I'll find the best fit for him. β
"Hmm. That's what I thought, too. By the way, Xiaoyu, did you call me today for something? β
"Oh, yes. I want to publish another martial arts novel in the Metropolis Daily. Ye Yu said.
On the side, Ye Yao and Su Xiaomo were surprised.
"Amorous Swordsman Ruthless Sword" is not over yet, this is another martial arts novel?
Double-open martial arts?
"Martial arts novels? Xiao Yu, the one you mentioned when you were in the fourth and second of the King Race? Yang Jianhui guessed.
Feng Wang Sai four into two, Ye Yu sang "Eji in a Dream", mentioned the Mongolian language and the Mongolian people, and said that it was to prepare for a martial arts novel. It's kind of a teaser.
But it was "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", but this time it wasn't.
"It's not." Ye Yu denied. "It's a different book."
Another one? Yang Jianhui was speechless - does this mean that Xiao Yu has conceived at least three martial arts novels?
"This martial arts novel is a bit special." Ye Yu said.
"What kind of special law?" Yang Jianhui asked.
"First of all, I don't know how long it is going to be written. Secondly, it is divided into parts, and this time I have feelings, so I will write this first article, but when the second article will be written again depends on the situation. Ye Yu said.
"Huh?!" Yang Jianhui on the other end of the phone. Ye Yao and Su Xiaomo, who were beside Ye Yu, were both surprised.
And such a strange way of serialization?
Generally speaking, as long as you have an outline, you always have a number of words to write, even if the range is large, for example, between 500,000 and 1.5 million words. But there's a number!
Ye Yu actually said that he didn't know how long to write?
Also, I wrote the first article this time, but I don't know when the second article will be written again?
"Okay...... Yang Jianhui said, "Is the name of the novel decided?" β
"It's confirmed, it's called 'Weapon'." Ye Yu said.
This is naturally the representative work of Gu Long in the previous life, "Seven Weapons".
It's a pity that when Gu Long was alive, he only wrote six kinds - the Immortal Sword, the Peacock Feather, the Jasper Knife, the Amorous Ring, the Parting Hook, and the Overlord Gun, and did not write the seventh.
"Fist" is not the seventh weapon, it was just mistakenly included in "Seven Weapons" and has been used to this day, but it is not actually one of them. To say that it is the seventh weapon is far-fetched, both ideologically and in terms of the form of the work, and even Gu Long did not admit it when he was alive.
Moreover, in the story of the first six weapons, there is always a powerful organization "Blue Dragon Society" running through it, if "Fist" is the final work of "Seven Weapons", then, in "Fist" there should be a lot of descriptions of "Blue Dragon Society", and it is even possible to reveal the secrets of "Blue Dragon Society", but the truth is just the opposite, "Fist" is not about the story of the protagonist and the "Blue Dragon Society" fighting.
Ye Yu did not use the name "Seven Weapons", nor did he change it to "Six Weapons", he only took the word "weapon".
Because he thinks that Gu Long's martial arts novel form of writing clearly and writing about human nature is very good, perhaps, in the future, he will continue to write the seventh, even eighth, and ninth kinds, so he did not limit it in the name.
"Weapons"?
The two women blinked, looked at each other, and were both surprisedβthe name...... It's weird.
"Weapons? This name is weird, what is it about? Yang Jianhui asked.
Ye Yu pondered for a moment and said, "Each weapon is an independent story, however, the real weapons are not those that can be seen and touched. Weapons are written openly, but secretly human nature is actually written. The power of humanity is the real powerful weapon. I call it an allegorical martial arts novel. β
"Eternal Sword" is written about "laughter", "Peacock Feather" is written about "confidence", "Jasper Knife" is written about "honesty", "Amorous Ring" is written about "hatred", "Parting Hook" is written about "reunion", and "Overlord Gun" is written about "courage"!
Although Ye Yu said something twisted, Yang Jianhui is also in the business of publishing literary works, and he has read countless manuscripts and books, so he can naturally understand it.
"yes, I see." Yang Jianhui said, "It is precisely because each weapon is an independent story, so Xiao Yu just said that you don't know how long you want to write, and you don't know when the next one will be written." Because this martial arts novel is not a whole story at all, but is strung together by many independent stories. β
"Yes."
"And what's the first weapon?"
Ye Yu smiled and said, "The first weapon is honesty. β
"Where's it on the surface?"
"Jasper Knife!"
