Chapter 123, Fermentation of Events

Ni Frame felt that if he didn't smash the camera, he wouldn't fall into the trap of reporters, so he underestimated reporters, and some of the complaints he made in front of reporters were all posted in the newspaper by reporters word for word.

What made Ni Frame even more unexpected was that he only published some content that he did not hide from "Xun Qin Ji", and did not directly confront Lei Weidong, after all, Lei Weidong was not yet an adult, and Ni Frame did not want to fall into the notoriety of bullying the small.

But who a reporter is, as long as he can make money, as long as the news is hot, a little rain can be written as a flash flood, no matter whether the news is true or not.

After the reporter's "skillful processing" of these remarks and the use of the Spring and Autumn penmanship method, the content of his remarks published in the newspaper completely changed its taste. And with this incident as the fuse, Suo caused a debate in Hong Kong about which Lei Weidong and Ni Frame were stronger or weaker, making the two once again a hot topic in the media.

As a result, people from all walks of life in the newspaper are constantly arguing about who will have higher achievements between Lei Weidong and Ni Frame.

There were even many media interviews with some passers-by on the street to ask their opinions, but they didn't expect that more than half of them were on Lei Weidong's side.

"I know that Ni has written a lot of books, but it seems that all his books are counted, and none of Lei Weidong's novels are popular? I don't know exactly what happened. But that's how I feel. And the newspaper also said that Lei Weidong created a new era of martial arts novels and is a generation of masters, compared to Ni Huan, he is just an ordinary writer, otherwise Lei Weidong would not have taken a thousand words and thousands of yuan in manuscript fees. An office worker replied.

A teenager is more direct. "I've read Ni Frame's book, although the writing in it is very good, but the creativity is far worse than Lei Weidong, and it is not as refreshing as Lei Weidong's novels, not to mention that Lei Weidong not only writes novels, but also creates comics like "Beidou God Fist" and "City Hunter" and has entered the Japanese market, and what is Ni Frame, his soft science fiction novel has a market in Hong Kong, and it is difficult to say overseas, let alone enter the Japanese market, he still looks down on Lei Weidong, I despise him."

There is also an aunt who directly criticized Ni Frame: "I'm not a fan of novels, I haven't read any of the novels of either of them, but I think it's too embarrassing for an adult in his forties to compete with an underage child to test his literary skills!" And the remuneration of the author is even more embarrassing for a child. ”

Of course, there are also people who have a more neutral attitude, and an elderly middle-aged man said: "Actually, I like both of their books, and it's hard to say who is more powerful, but I think they can be compared." Of course, I agree with Lei Weidong that he is a representative of the new martial arts novels, after all, it is Lei Weidong who gives the dying martial arts novels a new way of thinking and saves Hong Kong martial arts novels."

Even those who support Ni Frame will only talk about Lei Weidong's age, "After all, Ni Frame has come over for so many years, and it is not easy to occupy a place in the Hong Kong literary circle, and Lei Weidong is still too early to evaluate." You must know that he is only 14 years old and has only been writing a novel for less than a year, after all, no one can guarantee that his next work will be as popular as it is now. ”

Lei Weidong also saw these comments in the newspaper, but Lei Weidong knew that these were topics deliberately caused by those reporters, but now he must not respond.

You must know that Lei Weidong is only 14 years old now, although he has published a lot of comics, but the novel has just come out with the second book, no matter how popular he is with readers, his current reputation is false and unstable, and in the eyes of those older generations, he is a little kid, but he suddenly rose to the top with a few popular works, and he is a lucky teenager.

As long as Lei Weidong's follow-up works are not popular with readers, they will immediately return to their original form.

If Lei Weidong and Ni Huan argue, in the eyes of the conservative Hong Kong literary community, Lei Weidong is a disobedient figure who will be suppressed by the older generation.

You must know that relying on the old and selling the old is a tradition in the Chinese literary world, and in the face of the suppression of those people, Lei Weidong is not afraid but does not want to trouble. After all, Lei Weidong is not one of those Copernican figures who dares to challenge authority. Lei Weidong is the kind of character who likes to crush others with absolute power.

So no matter how much he hates Ni Frame, Lei Weidong will not respond to Ni Frame's questions now, and make himself a victim image, as long as he waits for his reputation in the literary world to stand firm in a few years, when he deals with Ni Frame, even if Master Jin comes out to intercede with Lei Weidong, he can not give face.

It's just that Lei Weidong didn't expect that things would get worse and worse, and the fact that he was a shareholder of "Xingchen Daily" was also exposed.

Lei Weidong was not angry about Li Rui's disclosure of his news, because Lei Weidong did not expect that Master Jin would directly call Li Rui, the general manager of "Xingchen Daily", to run a company, and open the door to ask Lei Weidong if he had any shares in "Xingchen Daily".

Master Jin has been famous in Hong Kong for decades, although his wealth is not as good as those wealthy tycoons, but his status in the literary world and his network have made many people give face to Master Jin.

After getting Li Rui's affirmative reply, Master Jin was not polite and directly reported the news.

Needless to say, the sensation it caused.

"Do you think it is inappropriate for Lei Weidong to get a super high remuneration of 1,000 words and 1,000 yuan, you must know that before Lei Weidong, Ni Weidong's remuneration was only more than 300 words per 1,000 words, which was already the highest in Hong Kong!"

"Is it because he is a shareholder of "Xingchen Daily" that Lei Weidong is offered such a high remuneration because he is a shareholder of "Xingchen Daily", and "Xingchen Daily" offers such conditions in order to take care of the boss's face."

This kind of question is not only asked in newspapers, but also by many media outlets.

It's just an unexpected thing, the citizens overwhelmingly support Lei Weidong, and the answer of one of the uncles is particularly representative.

"I know everything you ask! There is no need to answer at all, didn't "Xingchen Daily" say that Lei Weidong's shares were directly exchanged for the manuscript fee of "The Legend of Shuanglong of the Tang Dynasty", to be honest, I think Lei Wei's manuscript fee of thousands of words and thousands of yuan is actually low! ”

"1,000 words and 1,000 yuan is still low, which is several times higher than the second place!" The journalist asked.

"Didn't the newspaper say it!" The middle-aged uncle said: "Lei Weidong, I exchanged the manuscript fee of "The Legend of Shuanglong of the Tang Dynasty" for 16% of the shares of "Xingchen Daily", how many words of "The Biography of Shuanglong of Datang" are officially said, it is only more than 4 million yuan according to the calculation of 1,000 words and 1,000 yuan, and now how much is the 16% share of "Xingchen Daily" worth, 10 million may be more than 10 million! ”

"That's right!" The reporter also has to admit that what the uncle said makes sense, and now "Xingchen Daily" is the NO1 of Hong Kong newspapers, although this status is a bit unrecognizable, but the top three positions are still recognized by everyone, and Lei Weidong, a 16% stake in "Xingchen Daily", will definitely be robbed by people if he offers 10 million.

"What I'm most worried about is that Lei Weidong may block the pen!" The middle-aged uncle continued.

"Lei Weidong will seal the pen, how did you guess!" The journalist asked.

"It's easy! Master Kim is not the best example! The middle-aged uncle said: "When Ming Pao didn't get up, Master Jin wrote novels every day, and after Ming Pao got up, Master Jin closed his pen, and now Lei Weidong, like Master Jin, is also the owner of a newspaper, and he can still see the manuscript fee for writing." Not to mention that he still has a comic company in his hand, to be honest, what I'm most worried about is that Lei Weidong suddenly announced that he would close his pen that day! I don't know whose book to read when the time comes! ”

The middle-aged uncle had a regretful expression on his face.

The uncle's words were not rough, and after the report, everyone quickly agreed, so the call for Lei Weidong not to seal the pen became louder and louder, and the "Xingchen Daily" had to refute the rumors in the newspaper, saying that Lei Weidong had signed a contract and would never seal the pen within five years, so he took the time to suppress the matter.

When the outside world was talking about it very fiercely, Lei Weidong encountered a big incident of burning his buttocks, and he still cared about the controversy in the newspaper, so he had to deal with the matter in front of him first, otherwise there would be big trouble.
