Chapter 34: Reversal of the Situation

When Deputy Editor-in-Chief Liu came to Chen Lang's house, Chen Lang's family was watching TV, and Chen Lang was writing "Ethereal Journey" in his room.

"Is there anything wrong with Deputy Editor-in-Chief Liu coming this time?" Chen Lang knew that Deputy Editor-in-Chief Liu would come out with the second episode of "Ethereal Journey" after he came, but he didn't give it to him, but sat opposite him and asked.

"I didn't really have anything to do this time, mainly to talk to Xiaoyou about the media reports in the past few days." Deputy Editor-in-Chief Liu is also an anxious person, and he said straight to the point.

"Oh, then what does Deputy Editor-in-Chief Liu want to talk to me about?" Chen Lang is still the old god is there, but Chen Lang's family is a little worried, obviously the family has seen the reports in the past few days, although they all believe that Chen Lang will not be like what the media says, but it is not clear what "Oriental Daily" thinks.

Deputy Editor-in-Chief Liu saw Chen Lang's calm face, and was not in a hurry at all, thinking that this child was really confident and not worried at all. "It was our Mr. Ma who asked me to come, mainly because I was worried that the media reports in recent days would affect Xiaoyou's mood, so I made a special trip. Mr. Ma said that our "Oriental Daily" will continue to be serialized until the end of "Ethereal Journey", and other contract terms will be fulfilled one by one. ”

After Deputy Editor-in-Chief Liu finished speaking, Chen Lang's family was relieved, and Chen Lang also raised his eyebrows, although he didn't say anything, but it could be seen that Chen Lang was in a good mood, so he directly took out the second episode of "Ethereal Journey" novel draft, "This is the content of the second episode, I know that although the recent media reports will not bring us much loss, but it is very annoying, so I decided to speed up the progress, only by unfolding the plot as soon as possible will dispel the doubts of readers, and let everyone know what Xiuzhen is." ”

Deputy Editor-in-Chief Liu took over the draft of the novel and read it, the content of all two episodes has begun to show the complete world of Xianxia, and the level setting of Xiuzhen has also appeared, which will definitely cause a trend, "Zhu Xian" is still the set of martial arts in the final analysis, and no matter how much you imitate it, you can't imitate anything new.

But "Ethereal Journey" is different, this is a new theme, as long as it is divided according to the hierarchy inside, you can write a completely different world with your own imagination, and because it is a theme that has just appeared, there are many new ideas, many things can be written, and it is easy to follow the trend, readers will also maintain a strong curiosity when they first come into contact with Xiuzhen novels, and make profits as soon as possible, and once Xiuzhen novels become popular, then Chen Lang will bear the reputation of "the originator of the mountain", in that case, it will have a certain status, It won't make everyone feel that there is no hair on the mouth and that the work is not firm.

"Okay, since Xiaoyou is so confident, we are naturally sacrificing our lives to accompany the gentleman." Deputy Editor-in-Chief Liu felt that he was purely worrying, and others were more calm and confident than himself.

The development of the next few days did not surprise Chen Lang, because of the increase in serial content, the plot of "Ethereal Journey" unfolded, and the world depicted in it was also presented to the reader. It can be said that "Ethereal Journey" has directly raised the young people who were still immersed in martial arts dreams by several levels, and want to become immortals with boundless magic power and countless magic weapons. At the same time, the descriptions of various spells and magic treasures, exotic flowers and plants, and rare birds and beasts in "Ethereal Journey" suddenly raised the limit of readers' imagination, making everyone feel that there is nothing that cannot be done, only unexpected, while watching "Ethereal Journey", while admiring Chen Lang's amazing imagination.

It is very easy for young people to accept these novelties, and even fascinate them. And some older veteran novel fans after seeing these level settings, coupled with the fantasy Xiuzhen world in front of them, also feel that this is really a groundbreaking novel, but I am afraid that there will be a lot of follow-up works in the future, and at the same time, it is also amazing, this 14-year-old, no, it should be a 15-year-old boy, how does his brain look like, how can he have such an amazing imagination.

At the same time, major newspapers also began to praise "Ethereal Journey", and at the same time, they once again looked at Chen Lang, a genius boy, and praised him.

"Ming Pao": "As soon as "Ethereal Journey" came out, a new novel theme was born - Xiuzhen. ”

Oriental Daily: "The new novel setting of "Ethereal Journey" is a wild imagination. ”

Sing Tao Daily: "Read 'Ethereal Journey' and experience the limits of imagination. ”

At the same time, major celebrities have also given countless praises to "Ethereal Journey" and Chen Lang.

Jin Yong: "Although the writing is poor, its infinite imagination makes up for this shortcoming, which is fascinating." Chen Lang, a 15-year-old boy, is also remarkable, sure enough, it is the back waves of the Yangtze River that push the front waves, and there are talents from all over the country. ”

Yishu: "The little genius can be regarded as the founder of the mountain, it's really surprising, are the children so powerful now?" ”

Ni Kuang: "I thought my imagination was already amazing, but the imagination of a young talent is amazing. ”

Huang Zhan: "Although I am not a writer, I also read "Zhu Xian" and "Ethereal Journey" and know that there is a 'little talent' in Hong Kong now. ”

Of course, there are some tabloids who go the opposite way and continue to belittle "Ethereal Journey" to attract attention, but after all, the influence is limited, and not many people pay attention to it, so the Hong Kong media is a piece of flesh and blood, Chen Lang is a small talent under the four great talents of Xiangjiang, Jin Yong, Ni Kuang, Huang Zhan and Cai Lan.

At the same time, I have written novels for many years but have never been serialized and published, as soon as I saw the new Xiuzhen novel "Ethereal Journey", I keenly felt that this was an opportunity, unlike the martial arts that have almost been written, Xiuzhen is a new theme, there are many places to play, plus many years of writing novels, it is completely possible to write a new Xiuzhen novel, and then with the strength of "Ethereal Journey", maybe it will be successful.

Stimulated by Chen Lang's success in writing novels, many students who are still in middle school and college have begun to write novels on their own, and the themes are all Xianxia Xiuzhen novels, after all, a 14-year-old junior high school student became famous in Xiangjiang because of a novel, and at the same time got a remuneration of 120,000 Hong Kong dollars, which undoubtedly made many people excited, so they started to write, and then sent it to various newspapers, hoping that their novels could be fancied, and then become the second little genius Chen Lang, even more than Chen Lang.

Therefore, in recent times, in addition to the "Oriental Daily", the major newspapers have received a variety of Xianxia Xiuzhen novels submissions, and the major newspapers also attach great importance to these novels, maybe they can also discover a Chen Lang, no matter how bad they are, they can also take advantage of the tailwind of "Ethereal Journey" to stimulate the growth of newspaper sales, among which "Sing Tao Daily" is the most positive.

With the continuous efforts of the two novels "Zhu Xian" and "Ethereal Journey", "Oriental Daily" finally sat on the throne of the sales champion and stabilized, and the daily sales of the newspaper remained at about 156,000 copies, ranking first. "Ming Pao" is a science fiction novel with Ni Kuang, although it has given up the position of sales champion, but it has been biting the "Oriental Daily", and the daily sales volume is stable at about 154,000 copies.

On the other hand, "Sing Tao Daily", which is also one of the three major newspapers, still pressed "Oriental Daily" to rank second in sales before September last year, and it is because of the rise of Chen Lang and his novels that it has created a new sales first, and at the same time it has fallen to the third place, so "Sing Tao Daily" also wants to find a famous novelist to serialize novels, but the effect is not obvious, and the sales have dropped to 131,000 copies, and if it declines again, it may fall below 130,000 copies.

Now in Hong Kong, only Wen Rui'an, who writes martial arts, Ni Kuang, who writes science fiction, and Chen Lang, who writes Xianxia Xiuzhen, are the most popular among everyone, but they are all famous, and it is useless for "Sing Tao Daily" to be in a hurry, but now I see a large number of submissions of Xiuzhen novels, which makes "Sing Tao Daily" shine brightly, and I have the idea of taking advantage of the situation, so I chose a novel "Unreal Journey" with a very good writing and good imagination in a large number of submissions and decided to serialize.

Although I knew it was a work of following the trend as soon as I heard it, it originally meant this, and I was afraid that you would know it, but I was afraid that you would not know. In order to create Chen Lang's second publicity, "Sing Tao Daily" even gave a price of 70 yuan for 1,000 words, far exceeding the 50 yuan for 1,000 words for ordinary authors, and 80 yuan for 1,000 words when Chen Lang wrote "Immortals", and at the same time signed a high-profile contract with the author of the novel, a college student from the Chinese Department of the University of Hong Kong, and began serialization the next day.

As soon as this news came out, "Sing Tao Daily" really attracted a lot of attention. Of course, many newspapers ridiculed this as a naked follow-up, and there will be no second Chen Langyunyun, but it is undoubtedly a huge encouragement for the author of "Unreal Journey" and the majority of teenagers and unknown writers, so they began to write novels more devotedly, and the teacher was very happy to see that even students who usually don't like to study began to bury their heads in their homework.

As a result, on the second day of the serialization of "Unreal Journey", the major newspapers were dumbfounded when they got the sales statistics of "Sing Tao Daily", 133,000 copies. There are 2,000 more copies than before, and I was shocked to lose my jaw and glasses. For a while, the media coverage was lively.

"Oriental Daily": "The Ethereal Journey" of Chen Lang, the originator of Xiuzhen novels, has set off a boom in new theme Xiuzhen novels. ”

"Ming Pao": "The little genius Chen Lang will definitely bring up batches of little talents." ”

The success of "Unreal Journey" was unexpected by everyone, including Chen Lang, but Chen Lang was not worried about being threatened, after all, he was the originator of the mountain, and no one could rob him. But this incident caused an uproar among everyone, especially young people, seeing that the two people who were not young at the same age were able to make a fortune because of writing novels, so that young people were enthusiastic, and felt that they were promising, and Chen Lang's influence among teenagers was increasing day by day, because Chen Lang was not only talented, but also brought possible financial roads for everyone, and for a time Chen Lang became an idol in the hearts of Hong Kong teenagers.
