Chen Liangjun has not been in a very good mood lately.

is the kid named Tan Zhang and Zhang Tan, who jumps on the newspaper news every day, how many copies of his book are sold today, tomorrow is the TV series adapted by Shenma, and the day after tomorrow the screenwriter bombards him for being domineering. Whether it is good news or bad news, Chen Liangjun is annoyed to watch.

Because it reminded him of more than a year ago, this Zhang Tan was still a little kid he looked down on, shameless for his face, and screaming when he ate kickbacks.

Who knew that in a blink of an eye, he would become a well-known young writer in the country.

He has also been touted by a group of people as an iconic figure of post-80s literature, the great master of Shenma martial arts, the Three Musketeers of Literature, and the first person in film and television.

Chen Liangjun couldn't wait to rush to the reporter who wrote the news, grabbed the collar of the other party's clothes, and asked: "Have you fucking watched martial arts, farting here, what good book can he Zhang Tan write, it is worth blowing up to the sky below?" ”

At the same time, Chen Liangjun was still a little painful.

"The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has sold millions of copies in China, and even "The Four Famous Hunters" has also sold millions of copies.

Out of sight, out of mind.

Chen Liangjun rarely watches the news these days.

Today, as usual, he is going to sit at the publishing house for a while, chat with the new female accountant in the finance department, talk about jokes, and see if there is a chance to rub some oil.

"Damn, Xiao Cai, this prodigal hoof, will he still play with his desires? As soon as I touched her hand, she chirped crookedly! Sooner or later, I'll get to bed and you'll have enough! ”

Thinking about it, Chen Liangjun's face. He smiled knowingly.

It's like a leper dog seeing a bone.

However, Chen Liangjun, who swaggered into the publishing house, did not find the staff of the publishing house. Looking at his eyes, there seemed to be a taste of schadenfreude.

Wait for Chen Liangjun with a beautiful fantasy. After walking into the office, I suddenly found that there was already someone in the office, and his office was independent, which was the power of the vice president. Usually, except for the aunt who does the cleaning, she will come in and mop the floor, and most people dare not come in.

He hated it when people came into his office, as if that was a violation of his territory.

But this time he didn't get angry, to be precise, he didn't dare to get angry.

The people in the office, including the president of the publishing house. and the secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, who is sorting out his work report.

"President, you're early." Chen Liangjun didn't react yet, but just said hello with a dry smile.

The president said with a calm face: "It's not early, Chen Liangjun, it's almost noon." ”

The president's tone finally made Chen Liangjun realize that the situation was wrong: "You guys are ......"

The president shoved a newspaper in front of him: "Look at it for yourself." ”

Chen Liangjun picked it up and took a look.

It is the most famous newspaper in northern China, "Chutian Metropolis Daily", and on this page, the headline is written in big bold letters: "Young writer Tan Zhanglai Wu Khan signed and sold books." ”

This title is a bit harsh. Chen Liangjun hates to see the news about Zhang Tan.

But even more striking is the subtitle below: "The work has sold tens of millions of copies, and was rejected by Wu Khan University Press for boycotting kickbacks." ”

Seeing this, Chen Liangjun suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and immediately shouted like a pig: "President." I'm wronged, this is a rumor! ”

The president said very coldly: "Whether it is rumors or not is a matter of our publishing house." The comrades of the Commission for Discipline Inspection will certainly carefully investigate and find out. And we have preliminarily grasped the evidence that you want to eat and take cards, so our party committee will meet as soon as possible to study absolutely. Suspend all your duties and go home and wait for further processing. ”

"President, president, how can this be, this is a rumor, you can't listen to that kid's side of the story, just check me casually!"

The president snorted and said, "We don't check you, do we have to wait for the Publishing Bureau to check our publishing house!" A reporter called me last night to investigate your situation...... Do it yourself! ”

In an instant.

Chen Liangjun seems to have fallen from heaven to hell, the reporter called yesterday, but the president didn't tell him, the result is already obvious, the other party quietly packed up his body and prepared to throw him out to eliminate the disaster.

His Chen Liangjun's sweet dream of yellow sorghum has come to an end.

……

Unlike Chen Liangjun, who was in a good mood.

During the day, he was interviewed by "Chutian Metropolis Daily", and that night he received a call from the president of Wu Khan University Press, hoping to invite him to dinner in the evening.

and solemnly stated that Chen Liangjun would be strictly investigated.

Wu Khan University Press is a public institution of the government, and corruption and bribery are not like private units, which can be private, but have to go through administrative procedures.

Since Chen Liangjun is to be investigated, it basically means that Chen Liangjun is ruined.

Hurry up and open Tan's heart.

"Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, feng shui takes turns!"

Zhang Tan agreed to the invitation of the president of the publishing house to dinner, there are two reasons for this, the first is that the other party is very humble in his words, whether it is hypocritical or not, at least the apology is sincere on the surface, and the second reason is also the most important reason, Zhang Tan hopes to give the president of the publishing house a step to resolve the negative news of the publishing house.

And when the president gains face, he will naturally repay Zhang Tan and ruthlessly clean up Chen Liangjun, so that he can't turn over. This kind of scum, even if he can't be cured of going to prison, will completely cut off his hope of continuing to mingle with the publishing industry.

"But it doesn't seem very accurate to use feng shui to describe the current scene in turn."

In a good mood, Zhang Tan began to diverge his thinking again.

"At this time, you should shout it out like this, right?"

"Don't bully young people into poverty!"

It is better to bully the white-bearded man, not to bully the poor youth, and there must be a day when the dragon wears the phoenix, and I don't believe that the pants will wear the hole.

Zhang Tan lived in the hotel, with a little bit of wine, and proudly thought of the above Cantonese proverb.

At dinner in the evening, the owner of the bookstore was very enthusiastic, and it is no wonder that "The Condor Heroes" sold too hot, and Zhang Tan held a book signing party in his bookstore to boost the popularity of the bookstore. How can you not greet warmly.

The next morning.

Zhang Tan first went to "Ancient Legends. Editorial Department of Martial Arts Edition.

Today's "Martial Arts Edition" has become the pillar journal of "Ancient Legends", after the revision of the semi-monthly magazine. It was expanded from 126 pages to 160 pages, and an end-of-month edition was issued. That is, three copies are released in a month, and the sales figures of each issue have steadily exceeded 500,000 copies.

"The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was also serialized in magazines.

However, it is also coming to an end, because since the end of physical book sales, the magazine serialization has resumed to 60,000 words per issue. Basically, after "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Zhang Tan does not plan to serialize it in magazines, because the income of magazine serialization is too low, and Zhang Tan's books do not need to use magazines to expand their fame.

Of course, serialization may not have a chance.

But Zhang Tan is very grateful to the platform of "Ancient Legends". provided him with the opportunity to show, and I would also like to thank Wang Conglun for introducing him to publish the traditional version of "The Four Famous Capture of the Kanto", which opened the opportunity to publish a physical book. Before coming, Zhang Tan also asked his assistants Ma Weiwei and Zhou Nan, who were following him, to buy egg tarts and cold drinks, which moistened the throats of the editors, and thanked them for their serious editorial review work.

Zhang Tan, who is now in the editorial department, is already a famous artist in the martial arts world. Not only did Wang Conglun pick him up in person, but the boss of the magazine also came to see Zhang Tan and was polite.

After chatting for a while, Zhang Tan said goodbye: "This." Lao Wang, I still have something to do at noon, and I have a book signing meeting in the afternoon. In the evening, I invite you to dinner. By the way, I'll discuss something with you. ”

"Discuss something? What is it? ”

"We'll talk about it in the evening."

"Okay, I'll arrange the hotel. Waiting for you. ”

Zhang Tan was busy until eight o'clock in the evening before finishing today's book signing session, and Wu Khan's readers were really enthusiastic.

After finishing the book signing session, Zhang Tan immediately went to the hotel.

Wang Conglun has already taken Li Qiuyu, Bi Wanzhen and several other screenwriters to wait in the hotel, looking at this posture, he is planning to invite Zhang Tan. After the guest and host sat down, they began to serve the food, chatting while eating, and soon got to the point.

"That's what I think, and I'm going to use the book "Ancient Legends. Martial Arts Edition", hold a martial arts novel grand prix to see if a few good martial arts authors can appear and prosper the increasingly narrow martial arts culture. Zhang Tan said.

Zhang Tan had this idea for a long time.

Fan Zhongyan once said that if you are poor, you will be alone, and if you are rich, you will have a group of wives and concubines...... Well, it's wrong, it's the big one who helps the world.

Zhang Tan doesn't have the mind and feelings to help the world, he just wants to realize a dream.

In his previous life, Zhang Tan liked to write very much.

I also fantasized about becoming a writer.

On campus under the shade of a tree, he once told Lu Jing that he was going to Chenghai, writing while working, and fulfilling his dream of being a writer. After going to junior college, he watched "Ancient Legends. The Wen Ruian Shenzhou Wonder Award published on the martial arts version has a prize of 10,000 yuan, and he really wrote a short story.

I still remember that the novel is called "Blade World", which is about a "criminal war" sent by the gate of a South China Sea island far away from the Central Plains, and with the permission of the master, he traveled down the mountain to the Central Plains, passing by Yangzhou City, just in time for the Oiran to prepare to choose a husband from the good, so the criminal war relied on his own martial arts and grabbed the hydrangea.

When the spring breeze was proud, he didn't know that danger was coming, and the son of the head of the local gate sect also fell in love with Oiran. The design was to kill the criminal war, and the criminal war counterattacked, stirring the chickens and dogs of the entire Yangzhou City, and finally defeated the masters from all walks of life and hugged the beauty.

A martial arts novel that now seems to be super bloody and hypocritical.

But at the time, it was not bad, and it was shortlisted for the semi-finals.

However, this rematch is the closest thing to a writer in Zhang Tan's last life, and since then, I don't know if I am lazy or disappointed, so I have never started writing again.

Once again, he doesn't have to compete in any Grand Prix anymore.

It's just that I still have a regret in my heart, and I hope that I can also create a martial arts award, encouraging teenagers like him who have dreamed bravely to pick up the pen and create and wander.

Zhang Tan's proposal, Wang Conglun has no reason to disagree.

Immediately start to discuss in detail how this Grand Prix will be arranged.

The final result was funded by Zhang Tan's Luzhou Studio, and the "Ancient Legends. Martial Arts Edition", to create a "Tan Zhang Cup. Pen Jianghu Martial Arts Grand Prix".

The Grand Prix is held once a year, and each time it is funded by Luzhou Studio 100,000 yuan: a first prize is selected, with a bonus of 30,000 yuan; Five second prizes, with a bonus of 10,000 yuan; Ten Excellence Awards, 2,000 RMB. Encourage newcomers with martial arts dreams to embark on the path of creation.

Zhang Tan started the Grand Prix, and the rest was left to the studio to keep in touch with the editorial department.

Zhang Tan, who has been dashing for a summer.

You have to take care of yourself and get ready for the arrival of the third year of high school. (To be continued.) )
