Chapter 10: Obstruction

Lin Shu and Lin Xi's father and son were so combined, a "flawless" lie was made up in this way, and even Ma Fangxi, who had been friends with Lin Shu for many years, was convinced of it.

After getting the manuscript of the first few chapters of "The Peerless Twins", Ma Fangxian did not rush to contact the publishing house, but ran to the major newspapers, and tried his best to recommend them to all parties to see if he could serialize these novels in newspapers and periodicals first, and then make plans to publish them after the serialization was completed.

This is not only because Ma Fangxian has realized the good things about the novel "The Peerless Double Pride", but more importantly, he is really a little uneasy about Lin Shu, if the book is not finished, he will contact the publisher, but Lin Shu suddenly said that he can't write it later, and he needs more time to find inspiration, and then this delay is a few years, who can stand it then?

The best choice for the serialization of martial arts novels is, of course, "Ming Pao", not only because of the banner of martial arts novels such as Jin Yong, but also because of the positioning of "Ming Pao" and the readership.

As one of the three major newspapers in Hong Kong, Ming Pao is a newspaper with the middle class and intellectuals as the main readership, and most of the authors are proud to open columns in Ming Pao.

Ma Fangxian and Jin Yong were only nodding friends, but he knew a very good deputy editor-in-chief in "Ming Pao", so he first handed the manuscript of "The Peerless Double Pride" to this person.

Of course, the deputy editor-in-chief could see the good points of "The Peerless Double Pride", so he directly sent the manuscript to Jin Yong's desk.

After reading it, Kim Yong also praised the story, and was going to make a decision to serialize it in the newspaper immediately, but when he made this decision, there was another guest sitting in the office.

After reading the manuscript of the first six chapters of "The Peerless Twins", Ni Yu raised his head and said: "This story alone is indeed a top-notch work, but doesn't Mr. Cha think this matter is a little weird?" ”

"What's weird?" Jin Yong leaned on his thin lenses, and his eyes flashed with an incomprehensible light.

"The style of this book is very different from Lin Shu's previous works, or it is completely like it was written by two people, which is one of the doubts!" Ni Yu talked eloquently.

Jin Yong nodded, "I also have such doubts, but the signatures on this manuscript are two people, although there are not many precedents for co-writing a novel, but it is not impossible, and with Lin Shu's talent, it is not difficult to change the style to write such a work." ”

Jin Yong still hasn't said a word, that is, he believes in Lin Shu's character.

If Lin Shu could accept the idea of finding someone to ghostwrite, he would not have been so depressed in the past two years, and if it was a ghostwriting work, of course, he should try to be as close to the style of his previous works as possible, so as to save others from suspicion.

The style of "The Peerless Twins" has changed greatly, and it is clear that it is a matter of falling into people's hands, and smart people will never do such stupid things.

Ni Yu also knew this, so he didn't refute it in doing this, but changed the topic.

"Mr. Cha, do you know who this Lin Xi is?"

Jin Yong shook his head, he really didn't know much about this, but looking at the name, it should be someone who had something to do with Lin Shu.

Jin Yong actually expected it to be good, but the answer was still surprising when Ni Yu said it.

"Lin Xi is Lin Shu's son."

"I remember that Lin Shu's son is about the same age as your Ni Zhen, right?" Jin Yong's tone could not hide his surprise.

"That's the second doubt, I don't believe that a sixteen-year-old can write such a good work." Ni Yu brought the topic back to the original tone.

This time, Jin Yong did not immediately refute, but pondered for a moment.

"If it is written by a father and son, it just explains your first suspicion just now, although this matter is a bit unbelievable, but if the situation is true, it is difficult to say that the future is also a good story."

Ni Yu leaned on the sofa with Erlang's legs crossed and smiled contemptuously.

"It could be a good story, but it could also be a joke!"

Jin Yong was puzzled and asked, "How do you say this?" ”

"Don't hide it from Mr. Cha, Lin Shu's son happened to be met once a month ago, in a high-end restaurant, this kid dared to eat the overlord meal without a wallet, and finally was forced by the restaurant to call home...... Judging by his words and deeds, he is a young man who has not been deeply involved in the world, how can he write such a work? And I heard that Lin Shu's son is not worrying, I heard that he has been expelled from St. Francis Assi's College, and he is dropping out of school at home during this time. ”

Although Jin Yong guessed from Ni Yu's tone and demeanor that there might be another hidden meaning in this matter, he also believed that Ni Yu would not talk nonsense completely, at most his position was a little unobjective.

Seeing that Jin Yong was hesitant, Ni Yuyou continued: "Of course, it is not ruled out that I will look away, but I believe that this is Lin Shu's good intentions for his son, he wants to protect his son in advance, and it is really unwise to encourage the seedlings to be promoted. ”

Ni Yu threw out such a point of view, and Jin Yong couldn't help but be taken by him to think more about it.

"You mean, this novel was actually written by Lin Shu, and he deliberately did it to make such a big change in style, in order to make his son famous in advance?"

Ni Yu nodded, and then sighed pretendedly.

"Mr. Cha also knows that Lin Shu and I have always been at odds, but they are all conflicts of will, in fact, from the bottom of my heart, I admire Lin Shu very much, especially this time, his approach to Jackie Chan is far beyond me."

Ni Yu knew that Jin Yong was not easy to fool, so he picked himself up and this matter in advance, and then held his hands to see how Jin Yong dealt with it.

Jin Yong is indeed a little hesitant, if his identity is just a martial arts novel author, he will not hesitate to encounter a good story like "The Peerless Double Pride", but he is still the president of "Ming Pao", so he must consider more problems.

Once "The Peerless Twins" is seen, it will definitely cause a good direction, which Jin Yong is very sure of, but the fact that Lin Shu and Lin Xi father and son co-wrote this novel is easy to cause bad controversy.

"Ming Pao"'s newspaper position has always been objective and neutral, and the most important reputation, if Lin Xi is a person who can support the wall, forget it, but I learned from Ni Yu that this son has a bad character, in case he is verified by the media to be an incompetent and immoral person in the future, even with "Ming Pao" will have to carry the black pot together.

With Jin Yong's weight, he finally decided to refuse to be serialized in "Ming Pao", because he also felt that Lin Shu was playing with fire this time.

(The first update, the number of new books is very important, ask for recommendations, ask for collections!) )
