Chapter 32 Buying a Newspaper
At the beginning of the new year, the so-called new year and new atmosphere, the Hong Kong City "New Youth" newspaper and the "Dajianghu" newspaper announced at the same time that their own martial arts novel columnists have a new work to come out, please read it. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The columnist of martial arts novels of the "Great Jianghu" newspaper is naturally from North Africa, and the columnist of the "New Youth" newspaper is definitely Li Feiyang if there is no accident.
It's just in North Africa, although it is a martial arts novel, but the writing and setting are not satisfactory, people with a low cultural level read it with relish, but people with a high level of education and a large amount of reading don't like to read his novels very much. They want to read, and they also read novels written by Li Feiyang.
Not to mention that Li Feiyang wrote "Journey to the West", "Romance of the Gods", and "Red Sorghum" and many other novels of a purely literary nature, just such a novel model as martial arts novels are all genres created by others, and when you read martial arts novels, you naturally have to read Li Feiyang's writing first.
Li Feiyang's "Dragon and Tiger Fighting Jinghua" opened a precedent for martial arts battle novels, and then successively published a number of martial arts novels, which swept the Chinese world.
The commentaries such as "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" and "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness", which are now on the air, are also written by Li Feiyang, who can be said to have created many genres of novels and written many high-quality works, so how can you miss Li Feiyang's works when you read martial arts novels?
However, attentive residents of Hong Kong City found that the two newspapers "Dajianghu" and "New Youth", which had always been fighting against each other, were no longer attacking each other, but were praising each other.
The two newspaper owners, Ma Qidong and Wang Zhennan, two rivals who have been fighting with each other for more than ten years, actually shook hands and made peace and became a pair of good friends, which is really a bit bright and blind Hong Kong people's kryptonite eyes.
According to the two of them, they are now promoting the new books of their respective newspapers, and there is no longer the meaning of fighting each other and not showing signs of each other, and now the two companies are publishing books at the same time, just to promote the development of martial arts novels, launch healthy competition, and strive to launch new works, and at the same time, they also warmly invite the majority of readers and authors who love martial arts novels to actively contribute, carry forward martial arts novels, and provide more entertainment and literary works for the majority of readers.
For the majority of martial arts novel lovers, the confrontation between the two newspapers has changed to reconciliation, although it is also news, but it is just news, what they are most concerned about is what is the name of the new book published by these two newspapers this year?
What exactly is written in it?
That's the point.
According to the publicity, the new book written by the "Great Jianghu" newspaper in North Africa is called "The Wonder of the Central Plains", which is written about the martial arts hegemony in the rivers and lakes during the Song Dynasty.
The "New Youth" newspaper did not explain much about the work launched this time, but said: Mr. Li Feiyang's new work, according to him, this novel is an attempt of his other style of martial arts! As for the good and bad, it depends on the reader's appreciation. But Li Feiyang himself feels that this is his most satisfying martial arts work so far.
It's just a few words, and I don't introduce it more.
But a few words, that's enough!
"Mr. Li Feiyang's most satisfying work so far?"
Readers were shocked when they saw such a slogan, and they had never seen Li Feiyang praise his work. But at the same time, I was also surprised, and I also felt itchy and scratchy, so that Mr. Li Feiyang could say the words "most satisfied", then they must read this work!
Li Feiyang is now a literary scholar, although he is young, he has great influence, and he has written a lot, and his status in the entire literary world is no longer matched by few people.
In the eyes of traditional authors, martial arts novels are just his games, not literary works, but only a manifestation of Li Feiyang's lack of business.
His really weighty works are those traditional literary novels and other purely textual novels, and martial arts novels are just embellishments, which are dispensable; Some people even complained a lot about Li Feiyang writing martial arts novels, thinking that he was really a bit willing to degenerate and not seek progress.
But in any case, Li Feiyang is now the leading figure in the literary world, which is an undeniable fact. Since he said that he was satisfied with the current novel, then in his eyes, this novel must have its merits.
He is the founder of the new school of martial arts novels, so he naturally has an intuitive understanding of his works, since he said it is good, even if it is bad, it is not far off.
As for the name of Li Feiyang's new work, the "New Youth" newspaper did not reveal it to readers, but said that after the Lantern Festival, the new book will be serialized in the "New Youth" newspaper, and readers are welcome to order and read it at that time.
This is the first time in the history of the promotion of a new book that he has launched a new book without even revealing the content or even the name of the novel.
But the fans of martial arts novels in Hong Kong City still eat their set, they are simply looking forward to the stars and the moon and hoping that the fifteenth day of the first lunar month will pass quickly, and they will take a good look at what Li Feiyang's new book this year looks like.
After the Lantern Festival, the "New Youth" newspaper published Li Feiyang's new work from the newspaper on the 16th day of the first lunar month, as they said, and before them, the "Dajianghu" newspaper serialized the new work "Strange Heroes of the Central Plains" in North Africa on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
In North Africa's "Wonder of the Central Plains", Ma Qidong began to chase and read it from the time he published his first newspaper. found that compared with his previous two works, the pen power and plot of this "Wonder of the Central Plains" have been greatly improved, and the depth and intensity of the characters depicted are not the same as those of the original works.
Because of this, in the past few days since the Chinese New Year, the circulation of the "Dajianghu" newspaper has increased by a large margin, far exceeding that of previous years. Even the "New Youth" newspaper is a little inferior.
However, on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, the circulation of the two newspapers began to reverse.
Ma Qidong would go for a morning run every morning, his home was more than 3,000 meters away from the newspaper office, and he got up every morning, ran from home to the door of the newspaper office, and then returned from the newspaper office, all the way to his home, and then eat, change clothes, and go to work. Every day.
On the morning of the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, before dawn, Ma Qidong got up, changed into sportswear, and ran to his newspaper office as usual.
Ma Qidong usually gets up at 6 o'clock in the morning, washes up, changes clothes, runs, and when he arrives at the door of the newspaper office, it is usually around 7 o'clock, a difference of only three minutes.
It's the same today, when he was about to arrive at the newspaper office, Ma Qidong raised his wrist and looked at his watch, at 6:45, feeling a little faster than usual.
At this time, the sky was not yet clear, and the east was slightly white.
Ma Qidong is very satisfied with his running speed, and feels that the breathing and running method he learned from Li Feiyang during this time can indeed significantly improve his physical fitness, and it seems that he will have to persevere in exercising in the future.
After running a few steps forward, Ma Qidong heard a noisy sound coming from in front of him, which sounded like a bargain for vegetables and rice in the vegetable market.
Ma Qidong thought that he had heard it wrong, so he slowly stopped and listened carefully, there was really such a voice in front of him!
"Why are there so many people?"
Ma Qidong was shocked, and it seemed that the voice came from the door of the newspaper office, and now although the underground organization in Hong Kong City has been repaired by the tiger several times, it has become "safe and self-serving" and "law-abiding", but maybe when, there will be a big conflict between the gangs and occasionally erupt.
Ma Qidong is the son of everyone, and he has always seen his own safety, such as today, when there are so many people's voices at the door of his newspaper, the first thing he thinks of is the illegal assembly in the gang, maybe the people of the two gangs are fighting and slashing each other.
It's just that he, the "New Youth" newspaper, has been specially taken care of by the tiger, and in normal times, no one or a member of the social organization has ever dared to go to the newspaper office to make trouble, and this kind of illegal assembly between the two gangs has never happened.
"What's going on today?"
"The guys? So bold? ”
"Could it be that as soon as the tiger left, someone jumped out?"
Ma Qidong's mind was in a hurry, and he had already thought about a variety of situations, but they were all just random guesses, the so-called gentleman did not set up a dangerous wall, and he didn't have the heart to run to the front to take a look, and it was right to protect himself.
Ma Qidong called out to the two bodyguards in the back, "Ah Tu, Ah Tian, something is wrong in front, you two go and see, what's going on?" ”
At this time, the two bodyguards in the back also followed, "Atu, what's the situation?" ”
Ah Tu said in a low voice: "There is a situation ahead, a few of you will protect the young master and go home first, and Ah Tian and I will go to the front to have a look!" ”
At the moment, Ma Qidong was protected by two bodyguards in the middle, still running home, while Ah Tu and Ah Tian ran to the front of the newspaper.
When they arrived at the door of the newspaper office, the two were startled; Under the dim street lamp at the entrance of the newspaper office, it is bounded by two stone lions standing at the entrance of the newspaper office. There was no one at the gate of the newspaper office between the two stone lions, and the entrance of the newspaper distribution station to the left of the stone lion was actually full of people at this time, noisy and noisy. It's like buying movie tickets in a movie theater, and it's like selling things at a discount in a supermarket, but it's definitely not like going to a newspaper to write something.
The two ran over slowly, and the long queue of people didn't care, and a middle-aged man couldn't help but smile when he saw the two running to his side: "Two brothers, do you want to buy a newspaper to have a look?" ”
"Let's say okay first, buy the newspaper and buy the newspaper, queue up to buy, you can't cut the line! Everyone is a person who goes to work, don't rush to delay work! ”
"Buy a newspaper?"
Ah Tu looked puzzled, "What newspaper to buy?" Don't you tell me that you people gather here before dawn to queue up just to buy newspapers? ”
The middle-aged man was even more puzzled than Ah Tu, "What do you think?" Why do I get up so early if I don't buy newspapers? ”
