Chapter 20 It's in the newspaper (the third update, ask for recommendation votes)
The speed of serialization of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" can only serialize **10,000 words in a month, and in a month, Zhang Shaojie has delivered more than 500,000 words of manuscripts.
Zhang Shaojie's previous manuscript delivered to "Martial Arts and History" was enough to be serialized until the second half of 1980.
The income from authors' remuneration and the explosion of the stock market have basically solved the extreme economic dilemma. younger brother Shaohuai, not only does not have to worry about the manuscript fee for the next semester, but also becomes a serial writer.
A series of happy events made Zhang Shaojie's mood very happy!
Zhang Shaojie strolled through the streets, passing by the door of a bookstore, and was about to consider whether to buy a few books and go back to read them to pass the time.
But I saw that the owner of this bookstore looked at the "Martial Arts and History" magazine in his hand intently, and seemed to be attentive and extremely fascinated.
"Hey, boss, what are you looking at?" Zhang Shaojie had an idea and asked knowingly.
"The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty, a strange book that comes once in 30 years!" The owner of the bookstore was so fascinated by the books that he didn't even pay much attention to the business.
"A strange book that comes in 30 years? Is it really that good-looking? Zhang Shaojie asked with a smile.
"Of course, Jin Yong and Gu Long are tired of reading novels, and other famous artists are just mediocre talents who sell words and eat rice. Only Zhang Shaojie's "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" feels cool! The boss showed a fanatical adoration.
I didn't expect that if I met a bookstore owner on the street, I would be my book lover!
Zhang Shaojie was happy in his heart, and asked him about the plot with a smile.
When the bookstore owner heard this, his eyebrows immediately fluttered and he introduced the plot in the book. He said that he admired the surnamed "Kou Zhong" and disliked the sissy "Xu Ziling".
When the bookstore owner said this, a large number of book-buying readers immediately came to debate.
"Damn, boss, it's not kind to you to say that, right? Without Xu Ziling's help, Kou Zhong practiced "The Secret of Eternal Life" alone, and he would have gone mad a long time ago. Not to mention, without Xu Ziling's helper, Kou Zhong would have been hacked to death by others 10,000 times if he fought alone," a young man said angrily.
"Cut, Xu Ziling's bird surname is Ge, and he is only promised. If it weren't for Kou Zhong to bring him, he would have been sold and helped people for money. I don't know how many times I died in that troubled era at the end of the Sui Dynasty! A disdainful man who was obviously a fan of Kou Zhong said.
"Kou Zhong's surname of causing trouble everywhere, if he was mixed with Hong Kong, he would have been hacked to death as early as his debut. I think that those who like Kou Zhong are all unqualified old boys! A Xu Ziling fan fought back.
"Who do you say?" Kou Zhong's fans went berserk.
"That's you! Waste wood! ”
"! I'm going to beat you to death! ”
"Hey! Feed! This is a bookstore, a public place, everyone calm down, don't fight, don't fight! The bookstore owner finally panicked.
Zhang Shaojie saw that the scene was gradually chaotic, so he dispelled the idea of buying books, turned around and left indifferently.
However, Zhang Shaojie never expected that such a farce would be made headlines in many media.
The next day, it was Shaohuai who found out.
By this time, the family had subscribed to some of Hong Kong's mainstream newspapers.
In the morning, the postman will drop newspapers such as "Ming Pao", "Sing Tao Weekly", "Ta Kung Pao", "Wen Wei Po", "Hong Kong Commercial Daily" and so on to the mailbox in front of the house.
Shaohuai took out the newspaper, and soon after, exclaimed: "Brother, are you on the newspaper?" ”
Zhang Shaojie was inexplicable: "It's in the newspaper?" ”
"Look! "Sing Tao Daily", "Hong Kong Commercial Daily", "Wen Wei Po" and other newspapers have your news! Shaohuai said.
Zhang Shaojie followed his brother's instructions and began to read the newspaper.
First of all, I saw the entertainment edition of "Sing Tao Yuebao" wrote: "Our reporter learned from an investigation that the "Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" written by Hong Kong writer Mr. Zhang Shaojie has more than 200,000 readers in Hong Kong, and its influence has penetrated into the market. This huge cultural influence can only be compared with Jin Yong's heyday"
Obviously, "Sing Tao Yuebao" was written from the position of praising Zhang Shaojie.
The news of "Hong Kong Commercial Daily" was a little negative - "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" swept Hong Kong, Kou Zhong fans and Xu Ziling fans clashed fiercely, and they made a big move in the downtown area, destroying public property as much as 800,000 Hong Kong dollars, and causing five minor injuries and one serious injury and hospitalization! ”
As for "Ta Kung Pao" and "Wen Wei Po", they simply criticized fiercely, believing that Zhang Shaojie's novels have a negative impact on society. Especially teenagers, they will even fight because of their different understanding of the plot. The media should criticize education for such writers!
Of course, "Ming Pao" still defended Zhang Shaojie and published a commentary article in support: "The occurrence of extreme events in society cannot be caused by a novel that entertains the public, but in essence, there are many problems in the society itself." It is obviously ridiculous to blame a fiction writer for a sudden surname conflict! ”
Seeing that "Ming Pao" still maintains its authors, Zhang Shaojie can't help but feel a little warm in his heart.
――――――――
As the popularity of "Datang" becomes more and more popular, there are more and more publishing institutions interested in Zhang Shaojie, a dark horse.
Sing Tao Press Group claims that as long as Zhang Shaojie is willing to change jobs, Sing Tao Group is willing to pay a price of 1,000 yuan for the manuscript, and Sing Tao Group is ready to pay a check for liquidated damages from Ming Pao!
Even the "Hong Kong Commercial Daily", which has always been a serializer of emotional and business war novels, also joined in the fun, claiming to ask Zhang Shaojie for a manuscript, and was willing to pay Zhang Shaojie a remuneration of 500 yuan for 1,000 words.
Other big newspapers and tabloids, in order to hype or show their strength, have proposed to pay to poach Zhang Shaojie.
"What's so exciting?" Hu Bo asked with a smile.
"A thousand words and a thousand yuan, it is false to say that you are not impressed. However, I am more curious, you Hu Dashao, on the one hand, is a relative of the strong woman of the Sing Tao Newspaper Group, but on the other hand, you work in Mr. Jin Yong's company," Zhang Shaojie responded.
At this time, Zhang Shaojie already knew that Hu Bo was from a prominent and wealthy family, and what was even more surprising was that this wealthy family was still a well-known newspaper giant. Since the Republic of China, Sing Tao Newspaper has been a multinational newspaper group, and now it is a well-known media giant in Southeast Asian countries.
Regarding the issue of family background, Hu Bo did not hide it from Zhang Shaojie. However, Hu Bo rarely talked about the gossip related to Sing Tao Newspaper, and it seems that Hu Dashao was also a little bored with Sing Tao Weekly, and even rejected it.
Seeing this, Zhang Shaojie was not easy to inquire about the inside story of other families.
In fact, in the Chinese circle, every big family, it is quite common to stage family disagreements and contradictions, and it is rare for a big family to be harmonious. The main reason for the vast majority of family conflicts is the distribution of family wealth
