Chapter 50: Literary Heroes
"I heard that the 'Qin Dynasty' has recently added a historical section to the three-legged triumph of martial arts, romance, and science fiction? I have also read the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" mentioned by Nirvana, seven points true, three points false, the subtlety of the content and plot, I admire it, Shen, Kuang Yi, when will Mr. Nirvana be introduced to us? We also want to see what they are like. Zizhu Mansion Presidential Suite, Zhong Jimin said with a smile, his gaze kept sweeping over Shen Kuangyi and Shen Ruohan.
Shen Kuangyi said with a faint and elegant smile on his face: "The history section has been planned by our Qin Dynasty Network for a long time, and I don't know how many history writers we have found, but unfortunately they are not allowed to break in, I thought that hope would be cut off, but I didn't expect Mr. Nirvana to jump into the backwater of history from the martial arts column of Zhongtian, hehe, it also completely activated and revitalized novels such as history." ”
Shen Kuang swept over Nie Xiaotian, Zhong Jimin, and Wang Anping. Said leisurely: "As Jimin said, the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" mentioned by Mr. Nirvana, three falsehoods and seven truths, makes people addicted to the past! But my country's great family, Lu Xun, the first person in the literary world, said: History cannot be tampered with, and tampering means betrayal. I wonder what you think? Shen Kuang had a smile on the corner of his mouth, and everything was on the table with his words.
A back-and-forth negotiation has officially begun.
Shen Ruohan stared straight at Wang Anping, who was as indifferent as water. As soon as Shen Kuangyi's words fell, Wang Anping tapped the table, glanced at Shen Ruohan on the other side of the long table, and then said with a smile: "Kuang Yi, you should also know the influence of Lu Xun who has passed away on the literary world. The purpose of our coming today is very simple, that is, to ask you to invite Nirvana out of the Qin Dynasty net. ”
"No, I don't agree." Shen Ruohan stood up excitedly and looked directly at Wang Anping, "Nirvana is a columnist for our Qin Dynasty Network, I don't agree with your arrogant request, if you make other requests, we may consider one or two, but for this request, we resolutely disagree." ”
Shen Kuangyi also nodded solemnly at this moment.
"The form of the network is not easy to be optimistic, the tradition has not really accepted our network, if we have to say that we have to accept it, it is just to accept the martial arts novels written by Jin He, Gu Tan, Yan Wensi, Nirvana and others, about romance, science fiction, history? In the eyes of tradition, they are still like broken bricks and tiles, and they scoff at them. If we are led by the nose by tradition, then our network is only a martial arts sector, so what can we talk about realizing the ideals of our fathers and coexisting with tradition on an equal footing? ? ”
"Jimin, Xiaotian, the two of you should also understand Nirvana's contribution to the development of online novels, right? He opened a new path for us. If you use Master Lu Xun's words as a weapon of attack? At most, our Qin Dynasty Network can only give up the newly established historical section and then develop martial arts again, but this incident is a fatal blow to the entire network for other types of authors under our umbrella. Shen Kuangyi said excitedly.
Nie Xiaotian and Zhong Jimin were also silent for a while.
There is also one reason why they did not attack the Qin Dynasty in this way. In addition to martial arts, which is accepted by traditional theory, other romance and other types of novels have been rejected by it. Especially romance, the novels that were once extended from the Mandarin Duck and Butterfly School founded by the writer Zhang Hatshui during the Republic of China period were also treated coldly.
It was Zhang Hatshui who had written countless novels of the Mandarin Duck and Butterfly School, from peddlers and pawns to dignitaries and nobles, and literati and scholars all rushed to circulate them, but now they are also rejected by traditional culture and mainstream culture.
There is always a big mountain in front of the development of the network, which makes it breathless. Nie Xiaotian and Zhong Jimin can imagine that once those literati and scholars move out of Lu Xun, the first person in the literary world, what a serious blow will be dealt to the tradition?
"Dream Fulfillment and Chuanghuang can help you Qin Dynasty Network and vigorously "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", but this "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" must also be serialized on Dream Fulfillment and Qin Dynasty Network, and the general publishing rights belong to our two companies, and all the novels after Nirvana are serialized on our three networks." After Nie Xiaotian and Zhong Jimin discussed, Wang Anping came out and said.
"Impossible, our Qin Dynasty Network itself only has half of the copyright to publish the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, if all the copyrights are taken away by you, doesn't our Qin Dynasty Network not have signed a contract with Nirvana? We can't say yes to that. As for Nirvana's novel being serialized on three websites, what is it called signing a contract in that case? You guys are robber logic. Shen Ruohan calmly refused.
"Hehe, you should also know how much influence the historical plate you have opened up has on the online literature industry, and how much this Romance of the Three Kingdoms has had on the online literature industry. Although it is not like the martial arts novels written by Jin He and Gu Tan, almost everyone has read it, but it is not far behind. To be precise, you have upset the balance of the online literature industry, if you don't persuade us to stop at any price, then it's just a fool's dream, if we can't get what we want, it's better to assimilate our network traditionally. Zhong Jimin smiled faintly.
Nie Xiaotian, who had been silent for a long time, also spoke: "Instead of you unifying the network and the country, it is better for us to entrust the network to the traditional world." ”
The atmosphere froze suddenly.
Shen Kuangyi was also silent. He knew very well that Nie Xiaotian and Zhong Jimin had made very big concessions. If they are allowed to develop the historical section outside of martial arts novels, it will be no less than self-destruction.
The Qin Dynasty, the dream of realizing and creating the emperor have become a three-legged trend.
The Qin Dynasty was the strongest, and the dream and the emperor needed to resist the Qin Dynasty's net. After the Qin Dynasty network had a large number of martial arts masters such as Jinhe, Gu Tan, and Yan Wensi, its development improved rapidly, otherwise it would not have attracted the situation in the online literature industry four years ago. Now that a nirvana has been added, isn't the net of the Qin Dynasty, which was already a tiger, added wings?
Who knows what kind of earth-shattering masterpiece the Nirvana of the ghost will write in the coming time. What about once again stirring up a storm in the online literature industry??
Zhong Jimin, Nie Xiaotian, Wang Anping and others have already regarded Nirvana as their biggest opponent in their lives.
Chen Feng, the source of the trouble, did not know that the three forces had already fought against each other because of him. After painstaking negotiations, the three parties finally reached an agreement.
"Romance of the Three Kingdoms" can be serialized in the creation of the emperor and the realization of dreams! Three families pay Nirvana manuscript fees! The copyright of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Chuanghuang and Yuanmeng.com each got one-eighth. As for the copyrights of later novels, they each accounted for one-sixth, and the author Nirvana occupied one-half of the original.
From morning to evening, the negotiations between the five were completed.
"General Manager, why don't we stink the reputation of Nirvana and abandon the history plate? You must know that this can make Qin Chaowang a big step forward compared to us! The secretary suggested to Zhong Jimin.
Zhong Jimin looked at the moving female secretary with a smile and smiled faintly: "You are wrong, we are the winners of this game, Qin Chaowang has helped us save the road and time to open up historical novels, and we have also got the serialization rights of Nirvana's novels, hehe, although it is only three years, it is enough to catch up with the gap with Qin Chaowang." Zhong Jimin's face exuded a confident novel.
The moving female secretary looked at Zhong Jimin obsessively.
A man is the most handsome when he is confident, not to mention the general manager in front of him, who is already very handsome and young and golden? ?
"Anping, since you can't be too ruthless, it's better to chase Shen Ruohan into your hands." Sitting in the car, Nie Xiaotian looked at Wang Anping and said.
Wang Anping shook his head and said, "I started playing chess when I was ten years old, and it has been sixteen years since then!" There are countless chess games in front of me, and there have been I don't know how many chess players who have left sitting opposite me, whether in business, politics, or black dao, I have never lost" Wang Anping's voice was very confident and arrogant.
"But in the love field, I don't know how to play this chess game? Is it as ordinary people say that the battlefield is proud, but the love field is frustrated? Wang Anping muttered to himself. He sounded Shen Ruohan's indifferent eyes, and his heart ached faintly.
Nie Xiaotian looked at Wang Anping silently, why wasn't he like this? The otherworldly figure in his mind still swirled in his mind......
At the same time, the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, on the shore of West Lake.
Kong Fanxing held the book, accompanied the crane with a childish face, and the old man in a white tunic laughed and talked on the shore of Xizi Lake. And the topic of discussion is "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng".
The two of them found a rock and sat down, the breeze was fluttering, and the willows were like amorous girls fluttering in front of the eyes of the old man who was already close to old age.
Kong Fanxing handed over the book with "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" printed on the cover, and said with a smile: "Old Zhou, you are the Taishan Beidou of the world, how about helping me see the "Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" written by the new author Nirvana?" The voice was a little smug.
"The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" is the most popular one of the novels published by Tianya Publishing House in the past ten years, and now it has sold nearly 10 million copies on the market, 12 yuan per volume, and the royalty of the initial opening, and the sharing with the writer and Qin Dynasty.com, also earned nearly 20 million.
The old man glared at Kong Fanxing fiercely, brushed the book handed over by Kong Fanxing, and said in a loud voice: "You really think that I am a nerd who ignores things outside the window and only reads dead people's books!" In the past six months, the one in the world who doesn't know the legend of Lu Xiaofeng, who doesn't know the little guy in Nirvana, although I am dazzled, I am not deaf yet. ”
Kong Fanxing laughed dryly. I secretly admired the old man in front of me in my heart. Except for the old people who come out today, only a few people dare to say that they only read the book of the dead, which scolds all the sages cleanly. However, the old man has this qualification, if Jinhe and Gu Tan are the Taishan Beidou in the online literature world, then the old man is a giant peak in the world that cannot be crossed. In the twentieth century and the twenty-first century, only Lu Xun, who has passed away, can overshadow him.
"Old Zhou, don't hide your secrets, why can the legend of Lu Xiaofeng be widely spread in China? Although I like the legend of Lu Xiaofeng very much, I don't quite understand the true meaning of it. Kong Fanxing said with a smile.
The old man smiled elegantly and said: "In fact, the majority of readers have already said the subtleties of Lu Xiaofeng's legend, one of which is the writing and seemingly imaginative, but in fact very logical thinking, and the little guy in Nirvana, combined with the special surnames of previous martial arts and detective reasoning novels, and created a genre that belongs to his own type of martial arts novels, it can be said that he created an era of martial arts novels." ”
Kong Fanxing was stunned, he didn't expect the old man to give such a high evaluation of Nirvana, opening up a new era of martial arts novels.
"Ten years ago, there were two novel writers in the online literature industry, Jin He and Gu Tan, who can be called martial arts wizards, opened up the first era of traditional martial arts novels, and perfectly unified martial arts and chivalry together. I really appreciate the high level of thinking of the two of them, which is why I let martial arts novels step into the traditional world, and give a reminder to those group of traditionalists who are somewhat complacent. ”
Then there were writers in the online martial arts world, such as Yan Wensi, Zhuge Qingfeng, and frolicking Xiaoyu, but unfortunately Yan Wensian was too bookish, and the true meaning of martial arts was not to break through the blockade of Gu Tan and Jinhe, hey! Achievements don't stop! But fortunately, there has been another nirvana recently, and he has taken martial arts one step further. A martial arts that is not only poetic, but also has blood and hatred is suitable for contemporary young readers who are intoxicated with drunken gold. ”
"Fanxing, I didn't make a big mistake in the decision I made back then, hehe." The old man laughed.
Kong Fanxing nodded very respectfully, and said with a wry smile: "If it wasn't for Zhou Lao's advice, Tianya Publishing House wouldn't know which one to develop!" In fact, when Zhou Lao instructed me to publish a shoddy online novel, I was still a little resistant, but now it seems that Zhou Lao's decision is really wise! Martial arts novels not only awakened the hot-blooded chivalry of those Chinese people who have gradually fallen asleep, but also made the Chinese people have a sense of crisis to fight against foreign enemies. ”
"Haha! I'm just playing a guiding role, it's not me who really awakens the bloody chivalry of the Chinese people, but the martial arts writers of Jinhe, Gu Tan, Yan Wensi, Zhuge Qingfeng, Nirvana and the like, as for the sense of crisis, it is the credit of the Chinese political axe, and it has nothing to do with me. The old man smiled lightly. Who knows how many winds and frosts are portrayed, how many storms and clouds are circulating in those deep eyes, how many writers are supported, and how strong the national consciousness of the country contains.
If Lu Xun, who has passed away, has a pair of critical eyes, the old man in front of him has a pair of eyes that are inclusive, have the world, and care for the common people.
Kong Fanxing looked more respectful, it is the pride of the entire Chinese nation that there are such great giants in China.
If some people in the online literature industry heard the old man's words, they would be surprised. It turns out that the rise of online martial arts was actually completed under the impetus of this old man.
"Fanxing, walk a few laps with me, on the shore of West Lake, this is indeed a good place to go out, but unfortunately I have too many worries, and I have worked hard all my life, so it is not suitable to live here!" The old man pointed to Xizi Lake and smiled.
Kong Fanxing said with a smile: "I've been bothered by Zhou Lao for a trip in vain, but it's a pity that Chen Feng has already been gone for half a year, otherwise I would have called him back immediately." Kong Fanxing also followed suit, and became more behind Kong Fanxing.
The old man shook his head and said with a smile: "It's also a good thing for young people to go out more to see and learn, otherwise they will regret it when they get old." I heard that the little guy in Nirvana has been doing his job lately and making a fuss in history, Stars, have you read it? ”
Kong Fanxing nodded and said with a smile: "Well, he can say that the online literary world has turned the sky upside down, and it is almost the same as the clouds and rain." ”
"Hehe, young people should have such skills, otherwise what's the use of being old? Hehe, what is he writing about that novel? ”
"It's a book of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", in which the plot is seven true and three false!" Speaking of this, the old man looked at the old man and found that the old man had not changed, so he continued: "The story in it is told wonderfully, especially the ancient words of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, I still remember it, and I will read it to Zhou Lao now." ”
"Hehe, come on! The ancient poems in the last book "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" can give me a feast for my eyes, and now this little guy has another ancient poem, hehe, how can I not read it? ”
"The name of the word brand is Linjiang Immortal! The rolling Yangtze River is passing away, the waves are sweeping away the tears of heroes, and the success or failure is empty. The green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red a few times! On the white-haired fisherman river, accustomed to watching the autumn moon and spring breeze. A pot of turbid wine is happy to meet. How many things in ancient and modern times are laughing and talking. Kong Fanxing's reading was subdued and frustrated, which was quite overwhelming, attracting many residents to stop and applaud.
The old man fell into memory. The weather-like face and deep eyes flashed with a hint of regret. Kong Fanxing scolded secretly, why did he mention this word, which made Zhou Lao sound the sad past.
In Kong Fanxing's heart, the old man in front of him is a myth in his heart, an existence that can never be desecrated.
Looking at the vast Xizi Lake, the old man read in a desolate and majestic voice: "The rolling Yangtze River is passing away, the waves are sweeping away the tears of heroes, and the success or failure is empty." The green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red a few times! On the white-haired fisherman river, accustomed to watching the autumn moon and spring breeze. A pot of turbid wine is happy to meet. How many things in ancient and modern times are laughing and talking. Hehe, brother, brother, I understand, I understand! After reading it, the old man's face was covered with tears, with a faint smile, and his cheeks, which were full of frost and wrinkles, stretched a lot.
Many residents of the natural town couldn't help but feel sour in their hearts when they listened to the old man's desolate and majestic ancient words. Looking at the tearful old man in front of him, he felt a sense of admiration in his heart.
Kong Fanxing stood aside, waiting for the old man to calm down for a long time before asking, "Old Zhou, you, are you okay??" ”
The old man waved his hand to wipe away the tears on his face, and said with a smile: "Hehe, what's the matter with me, hehe, I want to thank you for the stars, I have untied the obsession in my heart for many years, hey!" Success or failure turns empty, why should I care too much? Hehe! The old man smiled and looked forward and continued walking.
Kong Fanxing followed the old man.
"Old Zhou, I'm going to publish the Romance of the Three Kingdoms? What do you think? ”
The old man smiled and said, "Publish it, publish it!" I told you that there is no need to stick to the old rules, although the words of the martyrs are suitable for that era, they are not necessarily suitable for the contemporary, you should understand that the burden shouldered by Tianya Publishing House is to let the 1.5 billion people in China understand China and understand themselves! All your policies and actions will be carried out according to this, and I will support everything! As for "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", what are the seven truths and three falsehoods? ? It's not like I haven't written this kind of book before! Since the romance has told us that we are illusory! ”
"Old Zhou, I understand!" Kong Fanxing nodded emphatically.
"Well, tomorrow you will give me the printed book of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and I will see what amazing works that little guy in Nirvana has written, hehe, I hope you don't disappoint me!" The old man said with a smile.
They walked on the remnants of the most famous broken bridge in West Lake. It's very laid-back, but it's talking about things that affect millions of people.
"Old Zhou, you are the Taishan Beidou of the world, and we Tianya Publishing House will suffer a lot when we publish such a historical romance type book
The attack of the traditional people! Kong Fanxing smiled bitterly.
"Hehe, you little slippery head! I knew you weren't a drunkard. If you want me to speak, naturally, I can, then it depends on whether "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" can satisfy me! The old man pointed at Kong Fanxing and said with a smile.
Kong Fanxing smiled, a series of sycophants were sent, Zhou Lai's eyes were like torches, like the light of the bright moon, illuminating the world, and so on.
The two walked across the broken bridge and borrowed a boat to the center of Xizi Lake, a Xizi Pavilion built in the Han Dynasty more than 3,000 years ago. The two climbed onto the pavilion, like madmen from the Wei and Jin dynasties, and sang loudly: "The rolling Yangtze River is passing away, the waves are sweeping away the tears of heroes, and the success or failure of right and wrong turns empty." The green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red a few times! On the white-haired fisherman river, accustomed to watching the autumn moon and spring breeze. A pot of turbid wine is happy to meet. How many things in ancient and modern times are laughing and talking. ”
Through the water of the lake, the sound is very clear to the distant shore.
The boatman with the stars and the old man held a glass of water and wine in one hand and a fishing rod in the other, and fished in the lake at will.
It's a pity that Kong Fanxing's conversation with the old man was not heard by Shen Kuang of Qin Chaowang, otherwise Qin Chaowang would not have regressed so much.
