Chapter 338: The Ultimate of Martial Arts
Wang Axi was born in the seventies, and the seventies in China were happier than in memory, but there are still large areas of land where the people live a bitter life, facing the loess with their backs to the sky, running around for three meals a day.
Wang Axi grew up in such a rural area, he is the eldest in the family, and there is a younger brother and a younger sister below. Wang Axi has been sensible since he was a child, and the children of poor families are in charge of the family early, not to mention that he is the eldest brother and has to help his parents take care of his younger siblings.
He has been clever since he was a child, his grades are very good, and in the junior high school in the town, he is the one who is the most promising to be admitted to high school. But in order to allow his younger brothers and sisters to have a book, he had no choice but to drop out of school after graduating from junior high school and work to subsidize his family. After dropping out of school, he worked a lot of work, worked on construction sites, rode a rickshaw, and collected rags......
The time when these jobs were in full swing was his happiest days. Because he can always pick up a lot of books in the rags. During those poor days, these books gave him motivation, broadened his horizons, and also allowed him to appreciate the charm of martial arts.
In those tattered books, the most are some martial arts novels, and every night Wang Axi will sit under the street lamp after selling the rags, holding a book of martial arts, fantasizing about his career in the rivers and lakes, and giving himself spiritual relaxation.
People need to have a way to relax themselves, in those miserable days, the bitterness in his heart was indescribable, and he almost wanted to commit suicide when he was depressed, it was martial arts novels that accompanied him and let him go through that time.
Now that he has a successful career, a complete family, and lives a busy life every day, the term martial arts novel is far away from him. No one thought that more than 20 years later, he would pick up martial arts novels again from his son's hands.
As the reading deepened, Tianlong's world gradually unfolded, Zhong Ling's purity, Mu Wanqing's coldness, and Duan Yu's stupidity. Qiao Feng's Hao, Murong Fu...... The vivid characters survived in his mind, so vivid, so real.
"Dragon Babu" once again ignited the martial arts dream and martial arts feelings in his heart.
The night was still dark, and the surroundings were quiet and dark, and only Wang Axi's house could see the lights that were still on through the curtains.
Early the next morning, Wang Axi's son Wang Xiaodong got up with apprehension. Wang Xiaodong has always been more obedient, although his family is solid, he does not have any arrogance. This is all due to Wang Axi's education. For his father, he has always been respectful and afraid, last night his father's behavior made him understand that he must have been told by the teacher about sleeping in class a few days ago, he understood that his father must be very angry, and he didn't know what kind of punishment Lu Dao would receive in the morning.
When he finished grooming and was about to accept his father's anger, he found that his father was holding the "Dragon Babu" confiscated yesterday in his hand, and he fell on the sofa very sleeplessly. The book in his hand is pressed against his chest and opened from it.
"Ha, it turns out that my dad likes to watch it too." Seeing this situation, Wang Xiaodong was happy. I almost didn't laugh out loud. Then he quickly closed his mouth, took out a blanket from the room and covered his father, and then quietly slipped away.
……
This kind of thing happened in many families in the land of China, and middle-aged men in their thirties and forties read "Tianlong Babu" through various channels. And then it got out of hand.
For the overly exaggerated theme of Xianxia, it has never been the love of these middle-aged men who have passed the fantasy age and experienced life and become rational and calm. They prefer more realistic martial arts, one is because they were too deeply influenced by martial arts when they were children. For them, martial arts novels are not just a carrier of words, but a taste of childhood memories; The second is because although martial arts is also a fantasy, the world of martial arts is closer to reality than that of Xianxia, and for them, the sense of substitution is stronger.
"Dragon Babu" is undoubtedly a classic martial arts, so when these middle-aged uncles came into contact with this book, their enthusiasm spooked the whole society.
"Dragon Babu" is currently priced at 28 yuan a copy, which is not a high price, but it has deterred many people who want to read the book for free, even if many of them are fans of Bi Xia. But for these uncles, a few dozen dollars is not a matter at all, as long as you like it, there is no problem no matter how expensive it is, compared to the hesitation of young people, uncles are all action-oriented. As a result, the sales of "Dragon Babu" soared in everyone's stunned.
In the first five days, a total of 150,000 copies of "Dragon Babu" were sold, which surprised all the staff of Baihua Publishing House and made the entire publishing industry secretly vigilant. However, on the sixth day, 80,000 copies of "Tianlong Babu" were bought across the country, and on the seventh day, more than 100,000 copies were bought a day, and then on the eighth day...... Day 9......
In ten days, a total of 570,000 copies were sold nationwide!
In just ten days, "Dragon Babu" has created a shocking result, making everyone call the wolf coming!
Bi Xia's name once again resounded throughout the country, this time no one questioned it, everyone had only one word, service!
Although everyone knows that the next book sales boom is about to recede, but this achievement has been extremely terrifying, because the Internet has become more and more convenient in recent years, physical book sales are the same as CDs, and they are also declining, and millions of sales are much less than before.
Now everyone is speculating whether the first volume of "Dragon Babu" can sell more than a million copies?
At the same time, the outside world has been receiving a stream of evaluations.
The comments of netizens will not talk about it, although it is applauded, but after all, the public influence is very small.
"I've never had such a reading experience, after reading ten lines, looking back, reading again, and so on, in order to control the reading speed, I am afraid that I have missed something, and I want to continue the pleasure of reading for the longest time...... The splendid Bixia is incomparable! - "Star Entertainment" Jiang Shaoqiang.
""Dragon Babu" is Bi Xia's pinnacle work so far, whether it is from the pen power or character description, as well as the imagination of the imagination, this is the best martial arts, this is the best Bi Xia!" - Apple Entertainment.
However, what really pushed "Dragon Babu" to the top was not the evaluation of these media, but what Mr. Chen Quanwang said in an interview. Mr. Chen Quanwang was one of the most famous martial arts authors in the 60s, and he wrote more than 20 martial arts works in his lifetime, most of which were put on the screen. In Bi Xia's view, his works themselves are not inferior to Jin Yong, but he did not use the changes of the times to connect martial arts works like Mr. Jin Yong and form his own unique world, which is also the main and only reason why he did not reach Mr. Jin Yong's achievements in memory in China.
He said in an interview: "I know that Bixia was when he wrote "Zhu Xian", and in my opinion, his "Zhu Xian" is not so much a fairy as a martial arts, but with the background of Xianxia. This is also the only work in all Xianxia novels that has both immortals and chivalry. Recently, I had the pleasure of reading his "Dragon Babu", to be honest, I can't give an evaluation, for now, this book is perfect, it has reached the ultimate of martial arts, it depends on Bi Xia's next idea.
