Ta Kung Pao.

Ta Kung Pao is the oldest newspaper in Hong Kong and one of the largest newspapers in Hong Kong.

Even in the last century, Ming Pao relied on the Condor Trilogy to become popular throughout Xiangjiang for a while, Ta Kung Pao was still strong. Until now, under the loss of the charm of Ming Pao's martial arts novels, Ta Kung Pao has made another effort and has faintly become the leader of the three major newspapers in Xiangjiang.

"Mr. Zhu, Ming Pao did a survey in the latest issue of the newspaper today?"

Xu Zhucheng, the editor-in-chief, took a copy of Ming Pao and put it on the conference table.

"What investigation?"

Zhu Qiping has been smooth sailing recently, and in the link of joining hands with the mainland to create economic construction as the center, the Dagong report xiàn has been preferential. Recently, Zhu Qiping is thinking of ways to see if he can produce more mainland news columns to meet the needs of Hong Kong citizens for mainland news.

"This survey conducted by Ming Pao is based on the views of the newspaper's serialized martial arts novels."

"Huh."

Zhu Qiping was surprised, "Could it be that Ming Pao wants to restart the plan to serialize martial arts novels?" ”

Zhu Qiping naturally knew about Ming Pao's family history, but he felt strange.

It is not impossible to serialize martial arts novels in newspapers, but the decline of martial arts has become a fact, and the citizens of Xiangjiang rarely read martial arts works. If Ming Pao restarts the serialization, isn't he afraid of being scolded by the citizens of Xiangjiang?

"I think Ming Pao is aware of that as well. So, they have a couple of options. One is, if Jin Yong is out of the mountain, maybe I will read. Another option is that regardless of whether Jin Yong is Jin Yong or not, as long as there are good authors, I will support them. There is also a fact that martial arts are dead, so don't serialize it anymore, I don't want to watch martial arts. ”

"Editor-in-Chief Xu, which of the three options will you choose?"

"Probably, I'll pick the first one."

"That is, Jin Yong is out of the mountain, I can read?"

"Hmm."

Xu Zhucheng nodded.

"Hehe, Editor-in-Chief Xu, do you think it's possible?"

Jin Yong is over 70 years old, and he has already sealed his pen before, and Jin Yong attaches the most importance to credibility, how can he go out of the mountain again. Of course, maybe Jin Yong when he was young still has such a possibility. But Jin Yong, who is now in his 70s, does not take his career as seriously as before. The probability of him coming out of the mountain is very rare. In addition, Jin Yong also said on various occasions that Lu Ding Ji is his last work, and he will not write martial arts novels again. In fact, not only martial arts novels, but also other works, he wrote very little.

"I don't think it's possible, it's just that I think his investigation may be to guide the public to support them in Mingbao."

"It's possible."

Zhu Qiping nodded, but he was not very optimistic about Ming Pao's serialization of martial arts novels, "Editor-in-chief Xu, although we can watch Ming Pao's restart of serialized martial arts novels, we still have to focus our work on our part." Moreover, you must know that if they restart the plan, if they are not careful, I am afraid that Ming Pao will be finished, and we will just take a look from the sidelines. ”

"This ......"

Xu Zhucheng still wanted to say more, but in the end, he still shook his head.

What he is most worried about is not that Jin Yong will not be able to get out of the mountain, as Zhu Qiping said, it is impossible for Jin Yong to go out of the mountain.

What he worries about is that if Ming Pao really finds a stunning work, Ming Pao may really rise again, surpassing Ta Kung Pao. After all, Ming Pao's fortune relied on a few works. The people of Hong Kong have long accepted the way of reading newspaper serials. As for why there has been no serialization in the last ten years, it is entirely because there are no good works.

Forget it, let's not think about it.

In this world, where are there so many amazing and brilliant works.

Moreover, before that, their Ta Kung Pao had made several issues of the special feature on the death of martial arts, and analyzed the reasons why martial arts died from time to time.

Although the content of these issues may not be the real reason why martial arts are dead, the actual situation is that martial arts have long been unsold. Not to mention Jin Yong's pen, even if there are some martial arts masters, there are manuscripts that have been taken out recently, and no publishing house is willing to publish them. It's not that they don't want to, but that the people no longer have the will to buy martial arts works.

From this point of view, no matter how well this work is written, it seems that there will not be too many people watching.

In his heart, he comforted himself, but Xu Zhucheng still felt that something was wrong.

……

Ming Pao.

"Teacher, the feedback from the public, but most of them hope that you will go out of the mountain."

Seeing the number of collected pieces, Pan Yuesheng gave feedback to Jin Yong.

"Hehe, a handful of old bones, how can you get out of the mountain."

Jin Yong smiled, and then said, "However, this also shows on the other hand, in fact, people still have some interest in martial arts." It's just that they don't like it because of the martial arts that have not been innovative now. ”

"I think so too."

Pan Yuesheng nodded, "I have reached an agreement with that Zhang Xiaofan in the mainland, teacher, after tomorrow, we will report that we will officially serialize the work of the Legend of Mortal Immortal Cultivation." ”

"The Ming Bao is arranged by you, and you can do it well."

Jin Yong still let go, "However, Yuesheng, in fact, the author is not called Zhang Xiaofan." ”

"Isn't it called Zhang Xiaofan?"

"yes."

Speaking of this, Jin Yong couldn't help but smile a little wryly, "Speaking of this person, the teacher actually made a bet with him." ”

"What bet?"

"This ......"

Jin Yong's rare face turned red, "I can't sue you for this." However, what I can tell you is that Zhang Xiaofan is just another pen name of his. In fact, his pen name is just like that guy Ni Kuang, many, many. Moreover, it is also famous. ”

"Teacher, the more you talk, the more interested I am in him. You tell me what his other pseudonyms are. ”

"I don't know much about some other pen names, but in addition to Zhang Xiaofan's pen name, he also has a pen name. It's called, Zhang Ning. ”

"Zhang Ning?"

When the word Zhang Ning came out, Pan Yuesheng was dumbfounded, and at the same time, he couldn't stop being excited.

"Teacher, are you talking about Zhang Ning, the author who wrote about those things in the Ming Dynasty?"

"It's not him, it's who."

"Oh my God, teacher, this author is amazing. Not long ago, several professors from the Department of History of Xiangjiang University came to our Ming Pao to comment on this work. Moreover, the study of the history of Xiangjiang has always regarded those things in the Ming Dynasty as a key research course. What interests me the most is that the emergence of those events in the Ming Dynasty also led to the research of Ming history. Many people suddenly became interested in the Ming Dynasty. As a result, major TV stations have been dispatched to launch various series of special topics in the Ming Dynasty...... I really can't believe it, teacher, this Zhang Xiaofan is also Zhang Ning. ”

Pan Yuesheng's heart continued to shake, and at the same time, he was more sure of the martial arts novels serialized by Ming Pao this time.

"Okay, that's all I know, I have to go to Ni Kuang first."

With some wry smiles, Jin Yong decided that it was time to end this bet.

ps: It's a little busy in the afternoon, if you rush back, then there's still a chapter, if you don't rush back, you must make up tomorrow.

In addition, brothers, you can also leave your own comments after reading the novel, and Xiaobai will fine-tune the plot according to everyone's comments.
