Chapter 185: A bleak start

"Hey, why did the fresh newspaper suddenly publish a martial arts column? Do I remember yesterday when a big daily newspaper advertised to open a martial arts column? A low cry of surprise ruined the silence in the subway car, a man of about twenty-five or sixteen years old, dressed as an office worker.

Several passengers also immediately raised their heads, and one of the older middle-aged people also said in the same way: "I remember that the big daily newspaper advertised yesterday, which is true!" However, the fresh newspaper suddenly published Ming Gong's martial arts column, and it seems that the two are fighting against each other. ”

"Ming Gong hasn't had a new novel published for two or three years, and this time it seems that if it weren't for the two major newspapers fighting against each other, it is estimated that we would not have seen his novel so soon!" Another office worker also interjected at this time.

At this time, Hong Kong people still have a strong atmosphere for martial arts novels, and even film and television entertainment is eager to adapt and shoot martial arts novels, movies and TV series.

Many people joined the discussion, and even began to talk about the first 3,000 words of Ming Gong.

"This time, Ming Gong's opening is more weird and bizarre than ever, and the atmosphere of the country's breaking and family feud is more tragic, which is really a good work."

"But it's still the same as it is, and there are fewer new ideas! I don't know if Master Ye Chuge's martial arts column in the big daily newspaper will write a martial arts that will make our eyes shine! ”

"I'm afraid it's not very easy, although Master Ye Chuge's birds and fish made me slap the table and get up, I was fascinated, but writing prose poems and writing martial arts novels are completely different things, I guess if he has Ming Gong's eight successes at the beginning, it will be considered good!"

At this time, although many passengers liked Ye Chuge's prose poems, they were obviously not very optimistic about his martial arts column.

But after all, they all like the birds and fish he wrote, so many people decided to buy a big daily newspaper as soon as they got out of the subway.

"I think the martial arts written by Master Ye Chuge are better looking than Ming Gong's!" At this time, the young office worker who exclaimed said a little unconvinced.

"Young man, I have eaten more salt than you have ever eaten rice, although Master Ye Chuge is talented, but he has initially set foot in the martial arts world, and what he has written is not bad to read, how can it be compared with the masterpiece carved by Ming Gong!" An old man is obviously a fan of Ming Gong, and at this time he said in an old-fashioned manner.

Several people next to him also agreed, but few people believed that Ye Chuge could write amazing martial arts.

"It seems that this time the big daily newspaper is going to lose to the fresh newspaper, but if people can invite Ming Gong to go out of the mountain, it can be regarded as a loss!"

"Yes, it seems that I will have to buy fresh newspapers in time every day in the future and catch a glimpse of the latest chapters!"

The young office workers were outnumbered, so they had to stop indignantly and be silent at this time. At this time, fans were far less fanatical than later generations, and they were able to maintain some sanity.

"Hmph, I don't believe that Master Ye Chuge's writing is not as good as Ming Gong!" When the subway arrived, the young office worker trotted out of the station and stopped at a nearby newsstand.

"Has today's big newspaper arrived?" He asked the newsstand owner with a slight gasp.

"What a coincidence you're here, you just arrived a minute ago!" The newsstand owner smiled and handed over a large daily newspaper with the scent of ink.

"Thank you!" The young office worker threw down the money and quickly flipped through the pages of the martial arts column of the big daily newspaper as he walked.

"Sure enough, there is a martial arts column!" He quickly flipped to that version, and Ye Chuge's three words were extremely conspicuous.

"The Legend of the Double Dragon of the Tang Dynasty? Is this a martial arts novel with two protagonists? The young office worker's face suddenly appeared puzzled, but he was immediately a little disappointed.

The most taboo thing in martial arts novels is the dual protagonists, although they don't hit the street as soon as they are written, but they are already a potential rule. After all, except for the peerless ghost talent of Master Kaigu, who can write supporting roles more brilliant than the protagonist, even Master Jin has never tried to have a double protagonist.

And Ye Chuge, a newcomer in the martial arts world, actually dared to open a martial arts column for the first time, which was almost a prelude to failure.

"Oh no, I'm going to be late for work!" He lost the urgency to read for a moment, folded the newspaper and put it in his briefcase, and then hurried away.

At this time, many people who were in the same mood as him, because of the title of the book "The Legend of Shuanglong of the Tang Dynasty", also took the same move.

After all, I am in a hurry to go to work in the morning, and if the desire to read disappears, I usually wait until the lunch break to eat.

Coupled with the early sale of fresh newspapers, as soon as Ming Gong's martial arts column came out, the three thousand words had already filled people's spiritual appetite in the morning, and if they wanted to eat something else, it was just for the time being.

"Editor-in-chief, something is not good!" At nine o'clock, the female secretary hurriedly walked into Tang Huaqiang's office and said with a stern expression.

"What is the percentage of sales in the morning?" Tang Huaqiang immediately asked.

"A total of more than 50,000 copies were sold, 20,000 copies less than the original, mainly because of the preemptive sales of fresh newspapers!" The female secretary was a little annoyed, but now the winner is king, and in the morning sales, the fresh newspaper has exceeded 80,000 copies, which is a very high figure.

"It's okay! There is still a wave of purchases at noon, and we must not lose! Tang Huaqiang took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

He is very confident in the Legend of the Double Dragon of the Tang Dynasty, and he also has confidence in Ye Chuge.

"Editor-in-chief, there is a sentence I don't know whether to say or not!" The female secretary hesitated for a moment and looked at Tang Huaqiang.

"Say it!" Tang Huaqiang said calmly.

"I don't think it's a good title! The words of the Legend of Shuanglong in the Tang Dynasty undoubtedly directly tell the reader that this is a book with two protagonists! The female secretary looked at Tang Huaqiang with some uneasiness, and saying such words at this time was undoubtedly a blow to him.

"What?" Tang Huaqiang suddenly bounced up like an electric shock, the double protagonist can be said to be the death forbidden area of martial arts novels, how did he forget this? The name alone may shut out many readers and lose their ability to read.

"I knew I would have changed the title of the book first, damn it!" Tang Huaqiang said with annoyance, and the whole person seemed to be several years old in an instant.

"Bang!" The door of the office was suddenly pushed open, and a man in a suit with some anger between his eyebrows walked in arrogantly, only in his thirties.

"Do what?" Tang Huaqiang raised his head and scolded, but when he saw the man in the suit, his expression immediately became gloomy.

"Director Li, what are you doing in my office?" Tang Huaqiang said very politely.
