On the third day after the novel "Smiling Proud Jianghu" was signed, Wang Fan received a call from Lu Xiaobu, the editor-in-charge of Xia Ke Publishing House.

"Today is the day when the chivalrous man serialized "Smiling Proud Jianghu"."

"Yes!" Hearing this news, Wang Fan became excited: "I don't know where you can buy "Chivalry"? ”

"In those regular bookstores in the city, there are chivalrous sellers!" Lu Xiaobu said with a smile on the phone: "The writing of your serialized novels is very sophisticated, and it will definitely be accepted by the majority of readers." ”

"Yes!" Wang Fan hung up the phone with a smile.

After hanging up the phone, Wang Fan immediately went out and came to the bookstore closest to his home in the city. ”

"Yes! Thirty pieces a book. The shopkeeper gestured to the lone book in the corner.

Picking up the chivalrous man in the corner, Wang Fan thought proudly in his heart that although the chivalrous publishing house is only a third-rate martial arts publishing house, the continuous serialization of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" will definitely make this third-rate publishing house rise.

"Do you want to buy it?" At this time, the shopkeeper frowned, looked at Wang Fan, who was holding the book, and asked excitedly.

"Buy, buy, buy!" Wang Fan took out thirty yuan and bought the martial arts back.

After buying it back, Wang Fan found that the Xiaoao Jianghu serialized in this issue of martial arts only has two chapters and 40,000 words.

It seems that the manuscript given to Editor Lu can still be used for two issues, Wang Fan thought in his heart while holding the martial arts.

……

On this day, many people who had been reading martial arts magazines saw that a new novel "Smiling Proud Jianghu" was serialized on martial arts.

Buy it back and take a look, although the protagonist Lin Pingzhi is mediocre, but the just right text description still did not make those officials regret buying this issue of martial arts. Many people are interested in the next issue of martial arts serials "Smiling Proud Jianghu".

At the same time, the magazine serialized by Qiangwu Publishing House, "Qiangwu Magazine" also published a new novel "Zhengdao Jianghu" today, this novel was written by an old author, and this novel was serialized in Qiangwu Publishing House, and it won praise from many old readers on the same day.

……

On the Internet, martial arts forums, a reader who likes martial arts novels, can spray each other about what the protagonist of that book can't do.

Today, "The Right Way Jianghu" published by Qiangwu Publishing House occupies several sections of this forum, and several sections are to talk about the news about this book.

……

The next day, the martial arts publishing house found that the number of martial arts magazines purchased had increased slightly, and the boss of the martial arts publishing house expressed satisfaction with this result.

However, the sales of Qiangwu Publishing House, Qiangwu impurities, have increased by one-tenth significantly. Regarding this situation, the person in charge of Qiangwu Publishing House said that it was normal. An old author who has written an old book on fire will definitely attract a lot of popularity.

If you want to maintain rising sales, you must rely on the quality of the book, not the fame of the author.

In the next eight days, Wang Fan was coding words at home, running back and forth with the two places of school classes, and Wang Fan coded the fifteenth chapter in eight days.

After finishing the fifteenth chapter, Wang Fan immediately called Lu Xiaobu.

"Editor Xiaobu, I don't know how the sales of martial arts were yesterday?"

Lu Xiaobu said on the phone in a deep voice: "Yesterday's sales were ......"

Hearing Lu Xiaobu's long voice, Wang Fan frowned and thought in his heart, could it be that the martial arts sold not very well yesterday.

"Yesterday's sales doubled! Exactly doubled! Lu Xiaobu's voice on the phone suddenly changed from low to excited: "The reason why the magazine sales of our Xia Ke Publishing House can double is because of the novel "Smiling Proud Jianghu" you wrote."

Hearing that the sales of Xia Ke Publishing House and Xia Ke magazine had doubled, the stone hanging in Wang Fan's heart was put down, and then he heard that the reason for the doubling of sales came from himself, Wang Fan was puzzled: "My novel? ”

"That's right, it's your novel." Lu Xiaobu's voice was still excited: "Our publishing house has received a lot of letters from readers, and the recipients of those letters are your author's name "Tianfan". ”

"Letters from Readers." Hearing Lu Xiaobu's words, Wang Fan was even more puzzled.

Wang Fan has read the first four chapters of "Smiling Proud Jianghu", but the writing is sophisticated, and there is no innovation in any trend, according to reason, it should not be able to double the sales of magazines published by a publishing house.

"I'm going to the publishing house right now to read the letters from readers." Wang Fan said this, hung up the phone, turned off the computer and went straight to the publishing house.

When he came to the publishing house, Wang Fan saw Lu Xiaobu sitting on the sofa with a cardboard box.

"It's all from readers, take a look!" Lu Xiaobu said and handed the box to Wang Fan.

Wang Fan took the box, took out the first letter from the box, and frowned.

The content of the letter: It was definitely a wrong decision for martial arts magazine to serialize the novel "Smiling Proud Jianghu", I first saw the sophisticated writing description of Smiling Proud Jianghu, and thought it was written by an old author, but now it seems that it is written by a newcomer at all.

The content of the novel "Smiling Proud Jianghu" is bullshit, he clearly described the protagonist Lin Pingzhi so miserably, and also pointed out the goldfinger evil sword spectrum, what does it mean that there is an eye-catching supporting role like Brother Linghu at a critical time? "Smiling Proud Jianghu" is a garbage novel.

After Wang Fan read the letter, Lu Xiaobu asked Wang Fan: "Did your fans mail this letter?" ”

"See for yourself!" Wang Fan sighed and handed the letter to Lu Xiaobu.

Lu Xiaobu read the letter, while Wang Fan picked up another letter in the box and read it.

The content of the second letter: The protagonist Ling Hu Chong, who has not yet appeared, is really interesting, affectionate and righteous, heroic, and has no frame at all. Compared to the protagonists of martial arts novels I have read in the past, there is no similarity in character description.

Seeing this letter, Wang Fan secretly thought in his heart, it seems that there are still people who understand that the protagonist of the novel is not that frustrated. forced Lin Pingzhi, but Ling Fox Brother and Ling Fox Chong.

Looking at the remaining letters that could fill the box, Wang Fan already understood that the remaining letters were either scolding "Smiling Proud Jianghu" for rubbish, or praising Xiaoao Jianghu for its good writing.

At this time, Lu Xiaobu had already finished reading the first letter, and Lu Xiaobu, who had read the first letter, said to Wang Fan: "This reader doesn't seem to know who is the protagonist in the novel you wrote." ”

"Or, in the next issue of martial arts magazine, let's explain!" Lu Xiaobu arrived.

Hearing Lu Xiaobu's words, Wang Fan shook his head and said: "Now readers who read martial arts novels have the habit of going to BBS, as long as Xia Ke Publishing House can prove it for me, I am the author of the novel "Smiling Proud Jianghu" Apocalypse, I can issue a statement on it, explaining that the protagonists of the novel "Smiling Proud Jianghu" are Brother Linghu and Linghu Chong. ”

"I see!" Hearing Wang Fan's words, Lu Xiaobu patted his chest and said: "Certifying that you are the author Tianfan is not a matter for the publishing house at all. ”
