Lin Youlun is willing to take the initiative to lower the standard of remuneration because he wants to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with Ming Pao. In the future, he plans to serialize his works in newspapers first, and then publish them in a collection after he becomes famous.

After two negotiations, he and Ming Pao finally finalized the remuneration standard of 3 yuan per word, and the newspaper paid a one-time payment of 600,000 Hong Kong dollars.

In terms of actor selection, the main characters Liang Wenjing and Xiao Yuling are all played by the popular Xiaosheng and Hua Dan of wireless, the male protagonist is Liang Chaowei who plays the leading role in the recently hit youth inspirational drama "Senior Brother Xinzha", and the heroine is Weng Meiling, who became popular in "Shooting the Condor", and the role of Xiao Leng is given to the handsome Miao Qiaowei, Liang Tiande and Ram Yu, the two roles with heavy roles are used Xie Xian and Zeng Jiang, two popular stars.

It can be said that this drama basically follows the cast of "Shooting the Condor", Miao Qiaowei plays Yang Kang in "Shooting the Condor", Xie Xian plays his father Yang Tiexin, both have good performances, and Zeng Jiang plays the Eastern Evil Yellow Medicine Master as soon as he appears, he is imposing, with green shirts and gorgeous hair, holding a jade flute, and his eyebrows naturally reveal arrogance, and the crazy nature of no one in his eyes directly plays this role.

The ram feather in "Iron and Blood" is also an arrogant Confucian, and he wirelessly asked Zeng Jiang to play the ram feather, in addition to his ancient costume being very clear and handsome, more because of his natural lonely temperament and ram feather's character traits are very appropriate.

At this time, the boom of martial arts TV dramas set off by "Shooting the Condor" is still continuing, and this cast alone makes the TV series hot before it is broadcast, and before the program preview is broadcast, some viewers called and asked when the TV series would start.

Compared with the lively scenery of the TV series, the first serialization of "Iron and Blood" in "Ming Pao" is much more low-key.

Jin Yong personally wrote a book review for "Iron and Blooded", which attracted the attention of many people in the industry, but ordinary readers did not pay attention to these when they got this issue of "Ming Pao", and the first thing they paid attention to was the news in the newspaper.

That evening, during the rush hour, a young man in a suit with a briefcase under his arm squeezed onto the bus. As soon as he got into the car, he approached the window, unfolded the newspaper in his hand, and read it carefully. The street lamp slanted into the car and shone on his face, and he did not move his eyes from the newspaper, and sometimes when the light was dim, he would stand up, lean against his seat, and try to get close to the light so that he could read the newspaper clearly.

A tall man with thin glasses next to him saw that the young man was watching it with such relish, and subconsciously glanced at the newspaper and found that the other party was reading a novel serialized in the newspaper supplement.

The time in the car was idle, and he looked sideways with the young man.

"Daba Mountains, west of the Qinling Mountains, east of Wuxia, majestic and precipitous, the world is well-known...... A gust of mountain wind whistled by, revealing three mottled dark red characters: Shenxian Crossing. ”

A line of words immediately caught the eye of the man with glasses, and soon he found it difficult to take his eyes off the newspaper.

A fat man in front of him turned his head and found that the two guys behind him were staring intently at the newspaper in the hand of one of them, and his eyes were too lazy to blink, he couldn't help but be curious, and also leaned his head over.

The novel in the newspaper soon made him want to stop, with the swaying of the body, the three people actually shook their bodies neatly, this scene attracted the surprised eyes of the surrounding passengers, someone recognized that the young man was holding "Ming Pao" in his hand, could it be that the newspaper began to serialize what interesting novels?

Those who read this issue of the newspaper quickly remembered Kim Yong's book review, they didn't look through the supplement at that time, and they felt a little remorseful when the newspaper was not in their hands, and they thought that they must find that newspaper tomorrow. …,

Passengers who had never bought this issue of Ming Pao thought in their hearts that they must go to the newsstand to buy a copy after getting off the bus to see what could make these three guys so fascinated.

The young man with the newspaper in his hand finally finished reading the serialized content of the newspaper, and he looked up unsatisfied, only to find that there were many people around him, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the newspaper in his hand.

He wanted to roll up the newspaper in his hand, but he was afraid of attracting public anger, so he had to keep holding it.

"Excuse me, where is the bus going now?"

He gently poked the man with glasses next to him with his arm, and the other party raised his head blankly, looked out the car window, and then screamed: "Oh no, I've sat down!" ”

The man with glasses exclaimed, and all the people around him who were reading the newspaper raised their heads, and then the carriage made a chaotic noise.

"Oh my God, I should have gotten off at the first two stops!"

"Damn, it's almost Yuen Long, I'm going to Sha Tin!"

The group complained for a while, and then they all got off the train at the next stop, but when they got off the train, they still remembered the story they hadn't finished reading just now, and then they realized that the young man with the newspaper had not gotten off with them.

They did not rush back, but invariably walked to the roadside newsstand, each with a newspaper in his hand.

Not long after they left, another group of people got off the other buses and crowded to the newsstand, all to buy today's Ming Pao newspaper, but unfortunately there were only three unsold newspapers left at the newsstand.

The three guys who got the newspaper at the end of the day left happily, while the others looked depressed, and many of them were ready to try their luck at other newsstands.

Similar scenes are constantly played out in newsstands on the streets and alleys of Hong Kong, and many people are disappointed in the end.

A total of 200,000 copies of the newspaper were printed in this issue of Ming Pao, and all of them were sold out on the same day, and the newspaper urgently contacted the printing house to print 100,000 more copies.

This sales volume surprised the newspaper, and what they didn't expect was that not only was this issue of Ming Pao hard to find in the market, but the next few issues of the newspaper were also selling extremely well.

However, when readers bought the newspaper one issue after another, only to find that the newspaper had not seen the later chapters of "Iron and Blooded" for a long time, the phone call of the editorial department of "Ming Pao" was almost blown up, and readers complained every day, asking "Ming Pao" to continue serializing the novel.

Later, "Ming Pao" had to publish an announcement, explaining that the novel should be serialized simultaneously with the adapted TV series, and readers' complaints were reduced a lot, and more people turned their attention to the TV series adapted from this novel.
