Chapter 33 Controversy Continues
Chen Lang, a 14-year-old boy, became famous because he serialized his novel "Zhu Xian" in "Oriental Daily", and was known as a genius boy, and his novel "Zhu Xian" is indeed full of ups and downs. Among them, all kinds of spells and magic weapons are enviable, and the two heroines Lu Xueqi and Baguio are also very popular, and those who read this novel think that this is a classic, and Chen Lang is also famous because of this novel.
Today is the first day of 1981, that is, New Year's Day, but for many fans of fiction, what is more important today is the day when the second novel "Ethereal Journey" by the genius teenager Chen Lang began to be serialized. Early in the morning, you can see that the front of the newsstand is crowded with people, and the passers-by are looking sideways.
As for the owner of the kiosk, he was smiling, looking at the people who bought the newspaper in front of him, they all turned into Hong Kong dollars, can he not be happy? But there seem to be more and more people buying newspapers, and there are even people rushing here from afar. Xiao Zhang is a middle school student, and he knows that today is the day of the serialization of "Ethereal Journey", so he got up early to buy a copy of "Oriental Daily", and once again started the strange journey that Chen Lang brought to him.
Because after the serialization of "Zhu Xian" of "Oriental Daily" a few days ago, Chen Lang's second novel was not serialized immediately after, and many people saw that the beginning of the newspaper did not have the name of Yuelang Xingxi.
I saw that almost half of the newspaper had only six words: "Ethereal Journey", Xiuzhen. Many people feel strange that this "Ethereal Journey" should be the title of the novel, but what is this repair? Fortunately, the next day, "Oriental Daily" gave the answer, "Ethereal Journey" is the second novel of the young genius Chen Lang, as for Xiuzhen, there is still no explanation, but it is indicated that "Ethereal Journey" will be serialized on January 1, 1981, so there is today's situation.
Xiao Zhang didn't eat breakfast and went downstairs and went straight to the newsstand not far from his home, but when he saw that there was no one in front of the newsstand, Xiao Zhang felt both happy and a little strange, and he didn't care so much, so he immediately ran to the front of the newsstand, "Uncle, bring me a copy of "Oriental Daily". ”
When the uncle at the newsstand heard that he had bought the "Oriental Daily" again, his face turned bitter, "The "Oriental Daily" has been sold out, and there is no more, but I have already called and urged people to deliver the goods immediately, and it will arrive soon, classmate, you just need to wait for a while." ”
"Ah, gone?" Xiao Zhang was stunned when he heard this, I was already early, why did I sell out so quickly, this is too crazy. No, it had to be faster, or there would be no more, and then he ran to another newsstand, and then he saw a long line, and without saying a word, he began to line up. Xiao Zhang saw so many people queuing up, he should have come to see "Ethereal Journey", patted the shoulder of a boy in front of him and asked, "Are you here to buy "Oriental Daily" and watch "Ethereal Journey"?" ”
"Of course, I just asked, the front is basically all for "Ethereal Journey", you came late enough?"
"Needless to say, I've already run to a newsstand before, but the Oriental Daily News there has sold out, so I'm here again." Xiao Zhang said helplessly.
"No, 'Ethereal Journey' is so popular."
"Of course, this is the second novel of the moonlight star, with the first novel of "Zhu Xian", the second novel is of course exciting." Xiao Zhang took it for granted.
"That's right, "Zhu Xian" is really good-looking, especially Lu Xueqi, dressed in white, ethereal like snow, really my goddess, like a fairy." After speaking, he looked yearning. As soon as I finished speaking, I saw a beautiful girl in front of me looking back, "What's so good about Lu Xueqi, is there our Baguio infatuation, Baguio is the first goddess, it's all to blame for damn Chen Lang, who actually wrote my Baguio to death, let me see him, I will definitely not spare him." There was a look of hatred on his face, and he gritted his teeth. Xiao Zhang and the two looked at each other when they heard this, and Xiao Zhang said, "Actually, my two heroines like it." ”
As a result, the girl was even more angry when she heard it, "At first glance, you are a big carrot, and you want to step on two boats, you are not as good as him." After saying that, he snorted angrily and turned around. Xiao Zhang was embarrassed, and the other boy laughed.
Fortunately, Xiao Zhang bought the newspaper after a while, and then he couldn't wait to read it, but it turned out to be strange again. This seems to be modern society, how can it not be a fairy tale novel, is it science fiction? But it's not like it, so I had to watch it patiently, I wiped it, and was cuckolded by my girlfriend, it's so depressing, okay, I can't bear to continue watching. Fortunately, Fu Shan, who appeared below, seemed to be somewhat mysterious and powerful, and the word Xiuzhen was also mentioned, but it was not clear.
However, seeing that Li Qiang was actually changed in appearance, from a "ground mouse" to a beautiful boy, as well as the "Purple Flame Heart" and "Five-color Flame Luo Cover" in the back, Xiao Zhang slowly immersed himself in the novel and knew that the novel was over. There are still some unfinished, and I am looking forward to the following plot development.
Young people like Xiao Zhang are very interested and looking forward to tomorrow's plot. But when he finished reading the two chapters of the series the next day, he undoubtedly saw other newspapers, but he saw the headline that surprised him: "Little Talent, Jiang Lang is Exhausted?" 》
Xiao Zhang looked at it carefully, "At the beginning, "Oriental Daily" withdrew Ni Kuang's novel, and chose to serialize the little-known Chen Lang's novel "Zhu Xian", which was unanimously ridiculed by everyone, thinking that "Oriental Daily" was dizzy and made a stupid move, but then the performance of "Zhu Xian" surprised everyone, I believe that even "Oriental Daily" did not expect that "Zhu Xian" would be so exciting, a 14-year-old boy could write such a novel, and even helped "Oriental Daily" defeat "Ming Pao" in the end, Re-ascended to the spot of sales champion for a long time. Chen Lang also won the reputation of "genius boy" and "little talent".
Therefore, after the end of "Zhu Xian", everyone is looking forward to Chen Lang's second novel, and "Oriental Daily" will not serialize the novel for a few days, and it will be advertised for it, which shows its importance. Yesterday we all saw the second novel "Ethereal Journey" by the little genius Chen Lang, but the result was a big disappointment. I even doubt that these two novels were written by one person, how can there be such a big gap in writing skills, is it that "Oriental Daily" and Chen Lang rushed to write in order to continue to make money, just hoping to use the power of "Zhu Xian" to make a lot of money, and the quality is not considered at all, or is Jiang Lang exhausted, and all his talents are condensed in "Zhu Xian", which is another bright and short-lived meteor? ”
Xiao Zhang was very angry after reading it, how could Chen Lang be Jiang Lang's talent, although he didn't have the breath of a fairyman, but the content was still very exciting, "Ziyan Heart", Mars, and changing his appearance are all very novel, isn't it? Although young people like Xiao Zhang find the novelty very fond of it, the media will not do so, and what can attract more attention than the fall of a genius. Therefore, most of the media are reporting on Chen Langjianglang's talents, although they don't say it explicitly, but everyone can see what it means.
And some older fans of fiction also feel a little uncomfortable, the gap in writing is too big, and I can't see anything now, and at the same time, under the influence of the media, it seems that they want to give up "Ethereal Journey", and in Ma Chengkun's office, it is also a burst of seriousness.
"Could it be that Chen Lang is really Jiang Lang's end?" Editor-in-chief Wang was very angry and skeptical when he saw these media reports. Deputy Editor-in-Chief Liu was shocked when he heard this, could it be that even his own people had such doubts.
"Hehehe, whether Chen Lang is as talented as Jiang Lang is not up to them, how about our sales?" Ma Chengkun sneered and asked.
"On the first day, the Ethereal Journey sold a staggering 159587 copies, barely reaching 160,000 copies, and the next day, despite the accusations in the media, the newspaper's sales did not decrease much, and remained at more than 159,000 copies." Deputy Editor-in-Chief Liu hurriedly reported.
"I'll just say that these newspapers are pure nonsense, and it's not that they are jealous that we have a little genius like Chen Lang, thinking that this little means can drive a wedge between us, which is ridiculous. The newspaper continues to be serialized, regardless of what others say. Ma Chengkun looked at the newspaper on the table in front of him and sneered. Hearing Ma Chengkun's words, the two editors-in-chief were relieved, and Deputy Editor-in-Chief Liu was directly responsible for Chen Lang's affairs, so they were very worried. Editor-in-Chief Wang's question was to test whether Ma Chengkun had the intention of wavering, and now it seems that everyone's opinion is relatively unanimous, which is very important to the newspaper.
"By the way, Uncle Liu, please go to the little genius's house again, just say that our "Oriental Daily" will continue to serialize "Ethereal Journey" until the finale, and the newspaper and his contract are all the same, so he doesn't have to worry." Ma Chengkun took a fancy to Chen Lang very much, and filmed Deputy Editor-in-Chief Liu to appease Chen Lang, Deputy Editor-in-Chief Liu was also very happy, and the person he was responsible for was still very valued and was not questioned.
After the meeting, Deputy Editor-in-Chief Liu drove to Chen Lang's house, but as soon as he arrived at the door of the community, he saw Chen Lang being interviewed by the media.
"Lang Lang, many people say that you are exhausted, and "Ethereal Journey" is very disappointing, do you have anything to say about this?"
"Oh, is it? How many people did you interview to arrive at this result, or did you imagine this result in your own mind? Chen Lang looked at the reporter in front of him, and sure enough, the media were two-faced goods. The reporter who just asked the question was dumbfounded when he heard this, where did he do any investigation, but everyone just said so.
Fortunately, a reporter from "Oriental Daily" seized the opportunity to ask, "Lang Lang, do you have anything you want to say to readers about this "Ethereal Journey"? ”
"I don't want to say anything more specifically, I just hope that the majority of book fans can believe that I can continue to read, maybe the writing is indeed not as good as "Zhu Xian", but I promise, you are witnessing the birth of a new theme novel." After saying that, he put aside the reporter and turned to leave.
