Chapter Ninety-Eight: Shooting "Chivalry Walk"
Before Li Kuo came to see Dong Qi, he also learned about "East Poster".
In the glorious years of the newspaper industry, this was also the largest newspaper in Zhonghai, with a circulation of four or five hundred thousand copies, and the circulation would even rush to close to one million in the highlight moments.
But......
That's all in the past.
In recent years, with the rise of the Internet, fewer and fewer people read the newspaper, and its sales have fallen to more than 200,000 copies.
Ye Xing is the editor in charge of the second edition of the novel version of "East Poster".
The sales of "East Poster" have been declining over the years, which is not to say that the quality of this newspaper has declined, but because of the general trend of the decline of print media, and there is no way.
In the glorious era of "East Poster", the more brilliant thing is the literary aspect, and the more brilliant literary aspect is the novel, and now, the novel section is also declining. Now, such a large newspaper has never found a novel suitable for the second edition.
If it continues like this, and because of the shrinkage of various funds in "East Poster", it is very likely that this novel section will be completely canceled.
That would be bad news.
"Still looking!" At this time, Dong Qi did not shy away from Li Kuo and them, and said directly to Ye Xing: "I know that it is difficult to find high-quality novels that are suitable for this newspaper, but I still have to find them!" ”
Ye Xing said to Dong Qi at this time: "Teacher Dong, why don't we change the content of the novel we posted, what do you think?" My point of view is whether we can stop sticking to novels that require a certain amount of Chinese cultural heritage for the time being, and replace them with other ones, such as romance novels. ”
Dong Qi shook his head: "No!" Let's not talk about the quality of those novels for the time being, just talk about the style of the second section, we took so long to completely settle down, if we change it now, you must also understand the consequences, that is, we will lose our characteristics! ”
Ye Xing could only hum.
That's true......
Style is so important.
Even if it is a popular thing, if it does not have its own style, it is difficult to have follow-up development, after all, in the years of national entertainment, things without style abound.
"East Poster" has cultivated a group of relatively loyal readers over the years, and a large part of them are reading the literary works of "East Poster", especially the novels in it, if you change the style of the novel, the result is unpredictable.
As soon as he said this, Ye Xing understood.
At the moment, the atmosphere here is slightly silent.
Dong Qi still came back to his senses quickly, and said to Kaitu and Li Kuo: "I'm sorry for you to run today, let's do this today!" You're busy with your own. ”
Kaitu and Zhou Yidong both nodded.
The two left one after another, but Li Kuo did not leave for the time being.
Dong Qi really valued this junior who could say a lot of things, and at that moment, he smiled at Li Kuo and said, "Li Kuo, is there something wrong with you?" "Tomb Robbery Notes" is not too much of a problem, I have seen it, it doesn't matter. ”
Li Kuo shook his head: "Mr. Dong, it's not because of that book, it's just that I just heard you and Editor Ye talking about the second edition of the novel "East Poster", and I think I also have a book now, and I want to try it." ”
This sentence made Dong Qi and Ye Xing a little surprised and moved.
The current "East Poster" is not the same as the previous one, and now this newspaper is beginning to decline, Li Kuo, a rising Internet author, has a bright future, and the attention of the book he wrote should also be there, so he chose to post on "East Poster", and it should be because he wants to help "East Poster" and Ye Xing.
At that moment, Dong Qi said: "Xiao Li, I know what you mean, but you don't have to ask yourself, I have read "Notes on Tomb Robbery", and now there must be a lot of words to write every day, you don't have to be distracted to provide us with a manuscript!" ”
Ye Xing also said: "Yes, Li Kuo, you just need to write your book." ”
Li Kuo shook his head and smiled: "I've written a lot of that book, and I personally feel that it is more suitable to be released in a place like "East Poster". ”
"Really? What category is your novel? ”
"Martial arts novels!" Li Kuo said.
"Martial arts!" Now it was Dong Qi and Ye Xing's turn to be surprised, this Li Kuo had written either a romance novel or a supernatural suspense novel, and he started writing martial arts novels all of a sudden, which made people feel quite surprised.
"We don't know, when did you write a martial arts novel?"
"I wrote it before, and I can show you the manuscript when I go back!" Li Kuo said: "My martial arts novels are more inclined to traditional styles, and also refer to some traditional cultural things, in short, you will understand after reading them!" ”
…… After Li Kuo left, Dong Qi and Ye Xing were still surprised.
After all, they didn't expect Li Kuo to suddenly say that he had written a martial arts novel for them to read.
After a long time, Dong Qi said to Ye Xing: "Ye Xing, you take a look at Li Kuo's text first!" I believe that he can write "Notes on Tomb Robbery", this martial arts book should still be possible! If he really decided to release it on "East Poster", it would be nice to have a little more conditions for him. ”
Ye Xing nodded heavily.
At this time, Ye Xing's heart was full of curiosity, what is this Li Kuo's martial arts novel?
The Xiangjiang of this time and space returned much earlier, and because the mainland is too powerful, it has not bred such a brilliant martial arts culture in another time and space, including film culture, which is not as good as another time and space.
The martial arts novels that began to develop at that time soon caught up with the years when fantasy novels broke out, so although martial arts novels also had a large number of fans, they were really inferior to Li Kuo's original time and space in terms of development.
Although Mr. Jin Yong's "Chivalrous Journey" is not the best among his works, it is still an excellent work compared to other martial arts novels with mixed qualities.
After all, Jin Gu is the pinnacle of martial arts novels, there is no doubt about it.
Therefore, this is also the reason why Li Kuo is more confident in "Chivalrous Journey".
After Li Kuo returned home, he gave Ye Xing the hair of "Knight's Journey", and Ye Xing, who had been waiting for a long time, finally saw what he wanted to see.
"Zhao Keman, Hu Ying, Wu Hook Shuang Xueming. The silver saddle shines on the white horse, crazy like a meteor.
Kill one person in ten steps, and don't stay for a thousand miles. Brushing off the clothes and going away, hiding deep with the name. ”
At the beginning, it was Li Bai's poem "Chivalrous Journey"!
Ye Xing was more curious about Li Kuo's novel, but he didn't think it would be particularly good-looking, and now he basically skipped this poem that he had read many times and went directly to the text.
