Chapter 10 The craze sparked by "The Legend of Wukong".
"Uncle Wang, bring me a bright report."
"Ah Yuan, go to work so early?"
"No way, who made me give up starting a business like you and choose a part-time job."
As an office worker, Li Yuan buys a copy of Ming Pao every morning, a habit that has lasted for fifteen years, and of course, now he doesn't read novels, but entertainment gossip news.
Since the commission was closed, although Li Yuan still habitually buys Ming Pao, he no longer reads novels, because no novel can ignite his enthusiasm anymore, even if it is a novel written by Ni Kuang, who is known as a science fiction master.
As soon as I opened the newspaper, a black and bold red font appeared in front of me.
"Huh?!" Li Yuan looked surprised: "Zhang Ya writes a novel? And is it adapted from the famous book "Journey to the West"? ”
For Zhang Ya, the highest-paid and most well-known actress in Hong Kong, Li Yuan, who often watches entertainment gossip, naturally does not know it, which also makes him interested in not reading novels for many years.
Flip to the novel section, and the first serialized article is "The Legend of Wukong"!
"Why fight? Why win? Why become a Buddha? This book is not an answer, but a question. There is only one question, and the answer may be multiple, and everyone has a wishful golden rod in their hearts, which is as hard as iron in the dark night. Novels worth your viewing commission. ”
After reading the title, Li Yuan was instantly shocked, and after a while, he was surprised and said: "The commission master, who rarely writes reviews, actually wrote reviews for this novel, and this novel has value to read." ”
Moving his gaze to the fiction section, all his attention was drawn to the introduction, and his feet were pinned to the spot, unable to move again.
"I want this day, and I will not be able to cover my eyes again; I want all the Buddhas to disappear! ”
His eyes showed a brilliant light, Li Yuan only felt that the blood that had been immersed for a long time was boiling, so he didn't leave directly, asked the boss for a bench, sat on the ground and watched carefully.
After waiting for ten minutes to read all the serialized episodes, Li Yuan was silent, with a contemplative look on his face.
He is not Sun Wukong, not Zhu Bajie, not Xiao Bailong, nor Sha Wujing, nor Tang Sanzang, but in these five characters, he has seen his own shadow, or his former shadow.
After reading it, he couldn't help but ask himself, "Who do I want to be?" ”
After thinking for a long time, Li Yuan still didn't get an answer, and finally, he rolled up the newspaper, had no interest in continuing to read, said hello to the boss, and walked leisurely towards the company.
There was still no answer, but he was already making changes, as his previous conversation with his boss proved that he was changing.
"Ah Yuan, look at you again if you're late, be careful that the boss deducts your salary."
"Buckle it, it's a rush all year long, and it's not bad to be late for a while."
Such a similar scene appeared all over Hong Kong, and of course, all people did not react the same way after watching it.
The young man felt his blood boiling, and all his attention was focused on those classic quotations, and he was discussing them with his friends.
Middle-aged people, who have experienced the baptism of society, pay attention to the plot and characters, and after reading the novel, the whole person falls into contemplation and tries to make the slightest change to himself.
Of course, there are also people who don't like it, after all, one thing, a novel, one person, can't be liked by everyone.
However, it was only one morning, "The Legend of Wukong" became popular, and under Zhang Yan's huge popularity, Ming Pao's main promotion, and commission reviews, it was completely popular.
And the next morning, various newspapers published a lot of reports, and many well-known people also wrote comments.
He Wan, editor-in-chief of Tiantian Daily: I like "The Legend of Wukong" very much, both authors are very talented, and they are similar to me.
Famous novelist Ni Kuang: Once, we were all such lawless monkeys, but fate will eventually make us wear a tight spell, and when we laugh at the flowers, we may still be able to see the bouncing monkey from the eyebrows.
Famous film critic Wang Yan: A monkey singing and dancing at the end of loneliness is a little more noisy than the millions of beings in this world. Looking forward to the follow-up.
Zhang Ya's friends in the circle even teased her in interviews, and claimed that they didn't know that she still had such talent, and she deserved to be called a talented woman.
With the addition of one well-known person, the craze set off by "The Legend of Wukong" is becoming more and more popular.
At the same time, driven by "The Legend of Wukong", Ming Pao's sales also climbed to a small peak, and the sales volume reached the first place on the third day
After reading the novel serialized in the newspaper, Guan Moyu let go of his expectations, whether it is successful or not, it has nothing to do with him at this stage.
got up and took the pen and paper on the side, handed a few pieces of paper full of words to Zhang Ya in the group, and said, "Let's take a look first." ”
Coming back to her senses from worry, Zhang Ya took the paper and looked down: "Zhu Xian? New novel? ”
Introduction: There are no immortals in this world, but since ancient times, human beings have seen all kinds of strange things in the world around them, lightning and thunder, storms and rains, and natural and man-made disasters, which are definitely beyond the power of man, so they think that above the nine heavens, there are all kinds of gods, and under the nine shadows, it is also the place where the ghosts return, the hall of Yama. So the saying of the gods spread to the world.
"Xianxia novels?" After reading the introduction, Zhang Ya didn't look at the later chapters, and asked suspiciously.
"Yes." Guan Moyu frowned, "Look at the content of the novel in the back, this is what I wrote yesterday, but no matter how I revise it, it doesn't have the feeling I want." ”
Zhang Ya showed a touch of surprise on her face, turned to the second page, although the words were still ugly, but after reading it, she didn't find anything wrong, and couldn't help but look at Guan Moyu suspiciously.
"En" pondered for a moment, Guan Moyu raised his head and said, "I'll tell you the general plot, and I'll talk about other things later." ”
"The protagonist Zhang Xiaofan, Baguio died under the sword of Zhuxian"
It took ten minutes to finish the general plot, Guan Moyu said with a wry smile: "I always feel awkward to write characters like Zhang Xiaofan, and I feel easier when it comes to the ghosts in the later stage, and besides, the writing requirements of this novel are not low, and I always feel nondescript when I write it." ”
After listening, Zhang Ya also understood, according to Guan Moyu's explanation, "Zhu Xian" is a martial arts novel dressed in the coat of Xianxia, or it explains that it writes martial arts, but what is actually written is romance, and there is only one word throughout the book, that is, love!
It is difficult to write his highly demanding "Zhu Xian" with Guan Moyu's writing, and in this regard, Zhang Ya also felt extremely hot for a while, and the writing was exercised, and it was impossible to improve it all at once.
In fact, Zhang Ya also thought of a way to this problem, it is not difficult to write the "Zhu Xian" that Guan Moyu wants with her writing, but when she thinks of the previous newspaper, she can't say it after all.
Looking at Zhang Ya who was hesitating in front of him, Guan Moyu couldn't help but shake his head and said, "This time "Zhu Xian" was written by you, I am not as careful as you think. ”
Hearing this, Zhang Ya's eyes lit up, and a smile couldn't help but show a smile on her beautiful face, in fact, she was indeed a little interested in writing novels, but a "Legend of Wukong" was enough, and with her fame, she didn't need to continue to put gold on her face.
The reason why he still writes novels, just like at the beginning, is just to help Guan Moyu.
Looking at Zhang Ya with a smile on his face in front of him, Guan Moyu didn't know what the other party was thinking, but he guessed one or two of the other party's worries.
When he added Zhang Ya's name at the beginning, Guan Moyu had already thought of everything, and when he borrowed the other party's huge fame to make his own fame, he would naturally be robbed of most of his popularity by the other party.
However, there are disadvantages and advantages, if he relies on himself, not to mention whether he can get such a high remuneration, it is a question of whether there is a newspaper willing to serialize
Time passed day by day, after a week of serialization, "The Legend of Wukong" was also serialized more than halfway, and it became completely popular, and every day there were many pages in various newspapers and magazines about it.
"Do you have a job today?" Guan Moyu looked at Zhang Ya, who was dressed very formally, and asked suspiciously.
"No, I made an appointment with a friend to go shopping, and I'll be back as soon as possible." Zhang Ya said with a smile, and left the house with her bag on her back after speaking.
I went downstairs, turned around and walked into the café on the side.
"Thanks, bring me a cup of coffee."
"Okay, you wait."
Sitting in the seat, Zhang Ya took out a newspaper from her bag and looked at the report on it, with a look of unhappiness on her face.
'Wireless Huadan Zhang Ya has successfully transformed, a rising star in the novel industry, and the name of a talented woman is well deserved! 'Daily Daily.
With the popularity of "The Legend of Wukong", some tabloids are as hot as eating hormones, and a wide range of reports related to "The Legend of Wukong" are reported, but all the attention is given to Zhang Ya, while another author, Guan Moyu, has no report at all.
Not only tabloids, but even some regular newspapers deliberately ignored Guan Moyu and reported on Zhang Ya on a large scale, after all, this is how to sell.
"I'm sorry, Miss Zhang, I'm late, I'm Zhang Qian, a reporter from Ming Pao."
With a crisp voice, a beautiful woman in office clothes walked up to Zhang Ya and sat down.
"It's okay, I'm early." Zhang Ya smiled and put away the newspaper, and at the same time took off the sunglasses used for disguise.
"A cup of coffee, thank you."
"Okay, wait a minute." After speaking, the female receptionist also glanced at Zhang Ya fiercely, and had the urge to pounce and ask for an autograph.
Taking the expression of the female receptionist in her eyes, Zhang Qian smiled and quipped: "Miss Zhang is still popular." ”
"Sometimes it's not a good thing to be too popular." Zhang Ya said something meaningful, and then ignored Zhang Qian, who was stunned, and said with a smile: "Let's start." ”
"No problem."
Puzzled, Zhang Qian took out a pen and notebook from her bag and put a tape recorder on the table.
