Chapter 247: Don't mention Prince Charming

It's not the first time Zhang Qiuxi has come to Jiangnan, but if it weren't for the editor Canghai to lead, she would only be like a headless fly in the urban area, and she couldn't even distinguish between the southeast and the northwest.

As the industry overlord, and it is such an important day as the 30th anniversary of the founding of the magazine, "Jianghu Night Talk" is not ambiguous at all, the splendid Wansheng Hotel is a five-star, is the most well-known hotel in the local area, and belongs to the kind that many people brag about.

I slept in the housekeeping department all night, and the next day Canghai had already knocked on the door early in the morning, so he stood outside the door and shouted: "Teacher Xiqiu, you prepare first, the activity is about to start." ”

There is a clear schedule for the event, and Zhang Qiuxi has already gotten up without saying hello to the sea, although she usually seems lazy, but she is still very attentive to doing things, and the things that are decided will not be delayed, let alone playing big names and deliberately being late.

Although I arrived early, I found that the venue was already crowded with readers, and no matter what the event was, fans would always arrive earlier than idols, but many times the waiting time would be longer than expected, and even pigeons would be released.

The first day of the annual meeting is to interact with readers, these fans are much luckier, except for Zhang Qiuxi, the other writers who participated in the event are also very punctual, and the attendees are all complete, "Jianghu Night Talk" doesn't care if the time has not yet arrived, and the event will start immediately after discussing with them.

There were more than 40 writers attending the event, and there were only more than ten stories serialized in each issue of "Jianghu Night Talk", Zhang Qiuxi couldn't help but ask curiously: "Brother Hai, are these all the contracted writers of your magazine?" ”

Canghai nodded and said, "Well, all of them." It's just that some people don't have a serialized work for the time being, and when they release a new book, part of the current serialization will pause the idea of a new book, and they will usually take turns. ”

These writers suspend serialization and Zhang Qiuxi is different, people are real precipitation accumulation, not an excuse to be lazy or to develop a side business, and it is not as easy as her to create.

The martial arts novels of this time and space have actually developed a bit like the online novels in the original time and space, but the platforms are different, and all kinds of magazines of all sizes are like those original online websites, which can also be said to be national literature, but the threshold is higher.

There is also the fact that it has not developed into fast food literature, N works will not be written with an outline, and the plot will not drag on like a footwrap and be stinky and long, not to win by quantity, but to pay attention to quality. As long as you pour water, you will be scolded by readers for being bloody, and it is as tragic as Chu Li as a science fiction person.

"It's all men, I'm a little red in the green bushes, right?" Among the more than 40 writers, there are only three women including Zhang Qiuxi, strictly speaking, only 2.5. And the people who came to participate in the event were all men, and martial arts was really a man's romance.

"That's why the outside world said that Mr. Xiqiu, you are a heroine." Before Canghai's words fell, Zhang Qiuxi had already been named, and at this time, the event had just been arranged and officially started.

The first part is a real interactive session, similar to the promotion of the film, which is mainly about talking about the creative process to satisfy the reader's curiosity, and then answering some of the reader's questions. More than 40 people took turns to come down and sign autographs for readers, and the day was full.

"Everyone says that my style is special, but in fact, I didn't do it deliberately, but when I fantasized about the plot scene in my mind, I couldn't help but write like this, probably subconsciously thinking that this way of writing can better set off the atmosphere, and I am quite satisfied."

Not to mention "Jianghu Night Talk", even if you look at the entire martial arts field, Zhang Qiuxi is the biggest brand, and most of the thousands of readers are coming to her, whether it is readers or the staff of the magazine, of course, she is the latest to start targeting.

"Teacher Xiqiu, almost all the male protagonists in your martial arts novels are prodigal sons, does it mean that the genre you like is also more inclined to this genre?" There are always people who shift the problem from the content of the work to the author himself, and this is unavoidable.

"You want to ask me about my criteria for choosing a mate, right?" Zhang Qiuxi doesn't care about this kind of problem, but she still feels a little depressed, this kind of depression is not because she likes to care, but because transformation is always a thorn, and what type of person she likes belongs to a more sensitive type.

When she asked this, the audience laughed kindly, and the reader also smiled and said: "Then I'll just ask directly, Mr. Xiqiu, the goddess in our minds, and you have created a romantic and suave thief who thousands of girls are obsessed with, do you also like the type of Xiangshuai?" ”

"Of course not." Zhang Qiuxi replied categorically, she wants to be a man like Chu Liuxiang, not like such a man, it is every man's hope to be able to become a public lover, but it is a comrade who likes a public lover.

But at this time, I need to find another excuse, Zhang Qiuxi said: "Chu Liuxiang is too irresponsible, in fact, it is not a good partner for a woman, and the reason why I wrote like that in the novel is mainly because of the needs of the plot, Chu Liuxiang's character should be such a person." ”

"What about Xiao Shiyilang? Compared with Xiang Shuai, Xiao Shiyi Lang is affectionate and single-minded, he should be regarded as an ideal partner for women, right? ”

"That's right, but don't you think Xiao Shiyi Lang is too boring?" Zhang Qiuxi asked rhetorically.

Romantic and amorous, infatuated and boring, this is probably a headache for all women. It's the same for men, looking for a wife to find a beautiful won't go to the kitchen, the kitchen is not gentle, the gentle is not assertive, the assertive is not feminine, the feminine spends money, the one who doesn't spend money is not fashionable, the fashionable one is not at ease, and the rest assured can't see it.

Which one should you choose? Zhang Qiuxi's expression is quite approachable and not cold at all, so the reader's concerns are small, and he asks directly: "So what is Mr. Xiqiu's ideal Prince Charming?" ”

"My requirements are actually very simple, just be more talented than me and be able to make money better than me." Zhang Qiuxi said it lightly, but everyone in the audience found that this sentence had killed 99 men in the world.

The fact that "The Voice" has earned more than 1 billion yuan is still talked about, who can compare to her in terms of such a money-making ability except for those big entrepreneurs? In terms of talent, the novel is popular all over the world, with a total sales of more than 100 million, and she is recognized as a talented woman in the world, and there are several people who can compare.

According to such a standard, in fact, I didn't want to find a partner at all, but in the eyes of everyone, such a request is reasonable, and Zhang Qiuxi would be depressed if he found one casually.

After a few personal questions like jokes, the topic turned back to the novel, and Zhang Qiuxi occupied more than half an hour of activity time alone. More than 40 writers are not few, and some wrists that are not big enough can only be played in teams.

Zhang Qiuxi temporarily retired, and when he hid behind, he saw that the editor Canghai was holding the information and could see that he was fascinated, so he couldn't help but ask: "Brother Hai, what are you looking at with a solemn face?" ”

"The promotional materials that will be sent to readers later record the history of our magazine over the past 30 years."

Zhang Qiuxi took a look, the folded promotional materials were half a meter long, and the front was the cover of the inaugural issue of "Jianghu Night Talk", which completely recorded the influential works and writers of the past 30 years, as well as every heavy dà event, and the content at the end was herself and her works.

"Today, thirty years later, we are still moving forward with glory." On the back of the promotional materials, the bold words of the magazine are written in simple words, which is also the determination of these people.

Zhang Qiuxi said: "Thirty years is indeed not easy, but what has been recorded is glory, Brother Hai, you should be excited, why does it look very heavy." ”

"There is excitement, but it does feel heavy, the more glorious the history, the heavier the burden for us, and it is not easy to maintain this glory." Canghai seemed thoughtful.

With a halo that is too dazzling, it will be very stressful for anyone, but it is also a kind of motivation, Canghai continued: "Although our magazine is still the leader, everyone knows that it is already in danger. In the past 30 years, the development of martial arts novels has undergone earth-shaking changes, and it is already in a period of prosperity and decline. ”

"If it is not handled well, Mr. Xiqiu, you may be the last bright meteor in the martial arts field, and the purpose of our symposium tomorrow is also for this purpose, but similar symposiums have been held countless times, and there is still not much valuable things discussed."

"Because the overall situation of martial arts novels is like this, the people in our editorial department have also begun to lack passion, and if it weren't for the appearance of Teacher Xiqiu, this situation would be even stricter. Compared to our enthusiastic predecessors, we are much worse, and sometimes I really want to be able to go back and see the style of our predecessors at that time. ”

"Travel through time, your idea is very sci-fi, not martial arts at all." Zhang Qiuxi shrugged, as if most people would want to go back to the past, because there are inevitably some regrets or wrong choices in life, and you can make up for it by starting over.

"I know it's unrealistic, but I always think about it." Canghai smiled wryly.

"It's not unrealistic, it's not hard to be reborn, as long as you're lucky or unlucky, but before that you have to be ready to become a woman." Zhang Qiuxi told Canghai his experience as a person who came over.

Canghai was embarrassed when he heard it, and he had long been accustomed to Zhang Qiuxi's consistent thinking outburst, so he only regarded it as a joke, wasting a piece of Zhang Qiuxi's hard work. R1152
