Chapter 27: The Cartoonist and the Novelist

The young man was annoyed for a moment, and finally broke away from the novel, but as soon as he returned to his state, he heard a horn, which startled him, and realized that it was the bus he was waiting for. But before he could stand up, the doors of the bus were closed, and he left with a large number of passengers.

"Ah, wait, and me!" The young man saw that it was not good, screamed, and rushed to the bus as fast as he could, but found nothing but the exhaust fumes of the bus.

"Damn, didn't you just read more novels! Wait a minute, no one will die, it's over, and I'm going to be scolded by the boss again! But to be honest, this novel is really good, I really want to see the plot behind! ”

Zhao Chen, who was sitting next to the young man, was dumbfounded, he knew that "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" would definitely be watched by many people, but he just didn't expect this situation to appear in front of him, it seems that he still harmed this young man, Ami Tofu!

Chai Wan Ming Pao Group, a knock on the door sounded from outside Jin Yong's office.

"Come in!" Jin Yong sat in the office chair, said without raising his head, and still looked at the book intently.

The door opened, and Pan Yuesheng, who was a little hunchbacked, entered the office and closed the door casually. In his hand he was holding a piece of paper with Ming Pao's sales statistics.

"Liangyong, I just received a call from the publishing house, the 20,000 copies of "Ming Pao" published today have been sold out in advance, it seems that the novel "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" has received a good response, and I have asked the publishing house to continue to add 20,000 copies! This is the statistics of "Ming Pao" today, you can take a look! ”

Pan Yuesheng said briefly, and handed the number to Jin Yong.

After Jin Yong took it, his eyes fell on the paper, and now the sales volume at the beginning was about the same as usual, but after seven o'clock in the morning, the number began to increase slowly, and after nine o'clock in the morning, it was sold out!

"Very good, "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" is indeed the right salary!"

As soon as Pan Yuesheng heard the salary, an indescribable smile appeared on his face, and he looked at Jin Yong with a smile, since Zhao Chen signed the contract that day, Jin Yong looked no different from usual on the surface, but Pan Yuesheng, who had been friends for decades, saw the wonder in his eyes.

Jin Yong didn't see Pan Yuesheng's expression, and still said to himself: "I heard that Zhao Chen also drew a comic of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty"? Is this true? How's the sales? ”

"It's true, the comics were published in the "Good News Magazine", since the "Legend of the Double Dragon of the Tang Dynasty" comic was serialized, the average sales of the original average sales of only 20,000 copies of the "Good News Magazine" has now reached 50,000 copies, and the sales are still increasing slowly! What's wrong? ”

Hearing Pan Yuesheng's report, Jin Yong thought for a while before saying again: "Tomorrow's "Ming Pao" will publish a news, that is, to reveal the news that the novel version and the comic version were serialized at the same time, so that more readers can know, so as to promote the sales of "Ming Pao" and "Good News Magazine" at the same time, which is beneficial to both parties and is a veritable win-win situation!" As for Shangguan Xiaobao's side, I will go and say hello, this kind of thing is better for the two sides to cooperate tacitly, otherwise it will not be good to get out of the basket. ”

"It's a really good idea to boost sales, so I'll go ahead and prepare it now!"

After Pan Yuesheng hurriedly left Jin Yong's office, he began to explain.

By the next day, not only did the newspapers of the Ming Pao Group and the Holy Flame Publishing House publish the information of Zhao Chen's dual identity at the same time, but more than a dozen newspapers that were friends with the two also serialized the news on the same day, and these news were all arranged by Jin Yong and Shangguan Xiaobao using their deep connections, otherwise there would be several newspapers serializing this news that seemed to be not beneficial.

So many newspapers published this news at the same time, the impact is naturally far-reaching, almost in one day Zhao Chen was well known, Xiangjiang has never been a cartoonist and novelist, and "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" is even more in the hot serialization whether it is a comic or a novel! What's more, Zhao Chen was only 14 years old, and once it was exposed, it seemed like a bomb had been detonated, and it was out of control, and he began to be known by people in Xiangjiang and got the title of a prodigy.

This incident not only greatly promoted the reputation of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" and Zhao Chen, but also raised the sales of the two companies by a notch again. Moreover, some critics or celebrities have also taken the opportunity to provide some positive reviews for "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty"!

It's a pity that Zhao Chen didn't know the news, because he was still working hard at home in the past two days, and he never even left his home. In the end, Tseung Kwan O is relatively sparsely populated, even people who know Zhao Chen will think that this is a coincidence, and they do not think that this Zhao Chen is the other Zhao Chen.

Five days later, Zhao Chen was holding several briefcases in his hands, and this day was the date of delivery.

The results of this week are quite gratifying, not only successfully completing the tasks of comics and novels, but also completing the 15 episodes of Shanghai Tang script and drawing script.

Before entering the station, Zhao Chen casually bought a copy of "Good News Magazine" and "Ming Pao" and brought them into the bus together. It's just that what makes him a little happy is that there seem to be a lot more people buying "Ming Pao" and "Good News Magazine" than a few days ago.

Before waiting for the bus to start, Zhao Chen glanced at the carriage seemingly casually, but in fact, he was checking to see if he had watched "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty". This look really made him show a few, some of them were holding "Good News Magazine", and some were "Ming Pao", which seemed to indicate that Zhao Chen's novels and comics were selling well, but he didn't know that he was betrayed by two old guys.

After the bus started, the few people who were obviously watching "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" didn't seem to feel it, and they still watched it, and they didn't feel that it was easy to get dizzy after watching it like this for a long time.

"This brother, I heard that the content of the comics and novels of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" is almost the same, and the progress is faster than the novel version, isn't that so?" Not long after, after reading the novel version in the "Ming Pao Supplement", a young man felt a little unfinished, so he set his eyes on the teenager who was sitting next to him and immersed himself in reading the comic version, with a little greed in his eyes, he suddenly regretted why he didn't buy a copy of "Good News Magazine", that thing is not expensive!

"I happened to have seen both of these versions, and there really wasn't any modification to the plot, but I couldn't have imagined that he wrote both comics and novels alone, and the author was a year younger than me, and this person is really angry compared to people!" The young man raised his head and saw the young man looking at the "Good News Magazine" in his hand with his eyes, and naturally he could guess the purpose of the young man.

The young man really fell into the set, he touched his chin and said: "I didn't expect that one person could handle the comics and novels of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", this kind of strength can no longer be described by ordinary geniuses, and those newspapers are really, and they don't even publish the author's photo!" ”

"It's just that the newspapers are so lazy. But I always find it a little strange, if you look at his painting and writing, it seems that he is very sophisticated, and it doesn't look like a 14-year-old boy has it! The young man had a strange tone, which made Zhao Chen, who was sitting not far away eavesdropping, feel a little puzzled in his heart, how did they know that they were only 14 years old, could it be that someone revealed the news!

"Well, I don't care, we just have to watch. I see, don't you think that with the current trend of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", it may be a classic martial arts in the future! At that time, this young author named Zhao Chen will also become a well-known writer in one fell swoop. ”

"I think so, but I think he's going to be a well-known cartoonist! With his talent, it's a shame not to draw comics, and dual-purpose is not king after all! ”

When the young man said this, Zhao Chen couldn't help but nodded approvingly, if it wasn't for the lack of money, he wouldn't be too lazy to write novels and scripts, after all, a person's energy is limited, even Zhao Chen feels that the time every day is not enough.
