Chapter 98: A New Concept of Fantasy

"That's not right, how did the protagonist change in the first chapter?" Two fifteen or sixteen-year-old students stood in front of the bookshelf, and the guy with glasses opened a comic magazine in his hand and said suspiciously.

"Isn't the protagonist the boy who went to sea with his father in the wedge and met the 'Cloud Splitting Dragon'?" The fat man next to him also had the same magazine in his hand, but his one had just been opened and he hadn't read a few pages.

"That's the 'Blue Winged Sea Dragon Beast', and I let the protagonist's father kill it later, and I also gave the Dragon Ball to the protagonist...... No, that's not the protagonist, as I said in the first chapter, the protagonist's name is Tuoba Ye, and he's an orphan wandering around. Glasses explained.

The bookstall owner held his chin with a pestle, looked at the two students in front of him, and gradually showed an impatient look in his eyes, "Hey, I said you two buy it or not, the magazines are not here for you to read in vain, the books have been turned over by you, how can I sell them?" ”

These two boys often go to the bookstall to "rub books" to read, and over time, the bookstall owner has also learned to be smart, and when they see the two of them coming, the new magazine only asks them to open it for a look or two, and if they don't buy it, they won't let them continue to look down.

"I want this magazine!" The glasses took out a handful of change from their pockets and counted just enough.

"I want it too!" The fat man also took out the money from his pocket and bought two copies in one go.

The bookstall owner was dumbfounded, these two boys had never bought books at his bookstall before, and today the sun came out of the west?

When the glasses and the fat man left, they were still arguing about who the protagonist of the comic was, and the bookstall owner wondered in his heart, so he also took a copy of the same magazine and opened it, and after reading the introduction above, it suddenly dawned on him, it turned out to be Huang Yuxuan's new comics.

The owner of this bookstall is in his forties, long past the age of chasing comics, and the magazine in his hand is just a casual glance and ready to put it down, and then his eyes are attracted by the big words "Lin Youlun's works" on the comic head. The bookstall owner doesn't like to read comics, but he is an out-and-out martial arts fan, and he has been paying attention to Lin Youlun's novels since "Iron and Blooded". He didn't buy "Ming Pao" every day like other people, and felt that it was too tiring to chase serialization in the newspaper, so he waited for the novel to be serialized and published, and bought it all at once.

In his impression, Lin Youlun's new work "Kunlun" is still serialized in "Ming Pao", what is the matter with this cartoon that suddenly appeared?

Curiosity started, the bookstall owner opened the magazine and then looked down, unconsciously attracted by the content of this comic called "Sou Shen Ji", and after reading the serials in the magazine, he raised his head and found that there were five people standing in front of the bookshelf, each holding the same magazine in his hand, and they were reading it with relish.

The owner of the bookstall was in a hurry at once, and snatched all the magazines back from those people, and refused to let them read them if they were not sold.

These readers were seeing the highlights, and they secretly scolded the bookseller for being stingy, but they couldn't stand the attraction of the comic story, so they had to pay for the magazine.

In the blink of an eye, the magazine was sold to the bookstall owner's hand. The readers who bought the magazine left satisfied, but there was still a person standing in front of the bookshelf, staring at the magazine in the hands of the bookstall owner.

"I've already flipped through this book, are you sure you want more?"

"It doesn't matter if it's old or new, just look at it."

The man put down the money, took the magazine and left. Seeing that the sales were so good, the bookstall owner regretted it so much in his heart, he knew that this comic was a story written by Lin Youlun, so he should have bought two more books to sell. He hurriedly called the publisher of the comic magazine and asked for another batch, but was told that the printed magazine was out of stock, and the publisher was contacting the printing house to print it, and the newly printed magazine could not be picked up until the day after tomorrow at the earliest.

"Contact another printing house, and we must print 50,000 copies tomorrow morning!" Huang Yuyun, who was in command in the office, was more anxious than anyone else, and the phone calls from the book sales point came to the company one after another, and the number of reservations for thousands of copies increased in just a few moments. …,

The first printing of 100,000 copies, Huang Yuyun thought that this was enough to meet the needs of readers, but he didn't expect that in just two days, the magazine had already been bought.

Huang Yuyun was busy here, but Lin Youlun, who had been working at "Ming Pao" for more than half a month, was leisurely packing up his things and preparing to leave work.

"Deputy Editor-in-Chief Lin, the president asked you to come over." Kim Yong's secretary, Xiao Yang, suddenly poked his head into the office.

Lin Youlun followed Xiao Yang to Jin Yong's office with a puzzled face, and found that Dong Qianli was also there, and then looked at a comic magazine on Jin Yong's desk, and suddenly understood what was going on.

"Youlun, Huang Yuyun came to me that day, was he received by you?"

Jin Yong beckoned Lin Youlun to sit down, and asked about it as soon as he opened his mouth. Lin Youlun did not deny it, and directly said about his cooperation with Huang Yuyun.

"Don't talk about character, Huang Yuyun is also a rare person of perseverance in the publishing industry, he can make a comeback after several setbacks, and you can't choose the wrong person to cooperate with him, but Lao Dong and I have nothing to do, and the argument has been fruitless for a long time, so I have to ask you, the original author, to come over and help solve my doubts." Listening to Jin Yong's tone, this trip to Lin Youlun didn't have much to do with Huang Yuyun.

Jin Yong said this, which made Lin Youlun a little curious, so he asked the two why they were arguing.

Jin Yong spoke slowly, and in order to save time, he asked Dong Qianli to explain to Lin Youlun.

"Huang Yuyun's cartoons have always been 'tangible and godless', but this time it can be 'both divine and form', this cartoon is signed by your original work, presumably you wrote the novel to let Huang Yuyun adapt it, and a lot of the content of the text part of the comic should be directly copied from your original text. Mr. Cha and I both read some of the content of the comics, and I think you are writing martial arts with the background of mythology, but Mr. Cha thinks that you are using martial arts methods to write myths, so is this story considered martial arts or mythology? ”

The story of "Sou Shen Ji" is based on the flood era of the origin of Chinese national civilization in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", and mixes mythology, magic, martial arts, geography, humanities, and ancient history to reconstruct a magnificent and majestic Chinese myth. Dong Qianli and Jin Yong were amazed after reading the comics, and they had the heart to ask Lin Youlun for a sneak peek of the manuscript of the novel, but they didn't want to have a dispute because of the category of this novel, so they asked Lin Youlun to be a judge.

"This story is supposed to be fantasy fiction in nature, which seems a bit broad, but it is not very appropriate to classify it as martial arts or mythology. In the West, there are fantasy novels based on the world of magic, and this story is based on Eastern elements, and it tells a mysterious mythological story, which I think is called a fantasy novel. ”

Jin Yong and Dong Qianli both heard the term fantasy for the first time, and after thinking about it carefully, they also felt that this name was very appropriate.
