Chapter 32: Master Yan is really a man of God
Now it's a semi-vernacular article back to a novel, a big plot in one chapter, twenty or thirty thousand words, and because it is a semi-vernacular text, the water can't get up, the story is very compact, maybe any of Jin Yong's novels, if the plot is conceived the same, let the author of the online article write millions of words, to Jin Yong, it is hundreds of thousands of words, less than a million.

The storytelling is very important, and it is always changing, and the routine of pretending to be forced to slap the face, whether it is traditional martial arts or modern online literature, is enduring. Yan Buwen glanced at it, compared it with the novels he had read, and said with a mixture: "You arrange a name for Tietoutuo, such as 'Iron Toutou' or something, and then before the protagonist defeats him, first describe how powerful and cruel this Tietoutuo is, so that after the protagonist kills him, readers can be happy and interested in reading down." ”
Lu Yan hurriedly wrote down on the paper with a pen, and nodded frequently: "Master Yan, you are really a god, you can see the crux of the problem at a glance, and the apprentice admires it." ”
Yan Buwen said: "Just call me Mr. Yan." "Being called Master by an old man who is almost half a hundred, how awkward it sounds.
Lu Yan said respectfully: "I'll change it when I go back at night, I thought it was too bland when I watched it before, Mr. Yan really hit the nail on the head." ”
"So-so." Mr. Yan waved his hand, reading too many novels will be a benefit, and some of the routines of the online text are clear in his chest.
Then Lu Yan said an improved version of the novel, and asked Yan Buwen to comment, Yan Buwen nodded, feeling that this time it was almost the same. After that, Lu Yan talked about the recent developments of the novelists of the Southern School.
Lu Yan said: "Recently, there has been a big move on the side of the World Book Company. ”
Yan Buwen ate dim sum and asked, "What's wrong?" After getting along with Lu Yan during this time, Yan Buwen also knew some novelists of the Southern School, and the martial arts novels were mainly the Southern School Master Xiang Shuai, whose pen name was "Bu Xiao Sheng". There are many other romance novels written in Shanghai, called Mandarin Duck Butterfly School, Xu Zhenya, and Li Hanqiu are quite famous, but they do not occupy the martial arts novel market.
Yan Buwen continued: "It can't be that Xiang Shuai has any new moves." ”
Lu Yan said: "Exactly, it turns out that Mr. Yan has already found out, and I originally wanted to remind you, but it seems that there is no need now." ”
Yan Buwen motioned for Lu Yan to continue: "Tell me your opinion, I don't pay much attention to this aspect. "Although Yan Buwen knows a little about the situation, he still wants to hear what others say, the authorities are confused, the bystanders are clear, and Yan Buwen is not stubborn.
Lu Yan said with a smile: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just that the recent Southern Sect Grandmaster 'Bu Xiao Sheng' Xiang Shuai has recently updated too diligently, basically 5,000 words a day, according to his update method, it is basically the same as "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", "Yitian" is a change every two days, a change of more than 10,000 words, in the final analysis, the number of words is more than "Jianghu Hero". ”
Yan Buwen smiled and said, "Is this Xiang Grandmaster going to beat me with the update speed?" It's really overwhelming. ”
Lu Yan agreed: "Of course, but Mr. should pay attention to one point, originally "Jianghu Heroes" was only published in the novel "Jianghu Talk", but since some time ago, it has been published in "World Journal Nikko", and its influence has gradually expanded. ”
Yan Buwen said: "Are you worried about affecting my novel?" ”
Lu Yan hurriedly said: "That's not it, it's just a little abnormal, and in the last two issues, Xiang Shuai has stabilized the number of updated words at 10,000 words a day, is Mr. Xiang crazy?" ”
Yan Buwen asked, "It's about the time when I update which chapter." ”
Lu Yan said: "It's the time when Xie Xun washed his white." ”
Sure enough, the influence of "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" is getting deeper and deeper, and Xiang Shuai, the grandmaster of the Southern School, has also begun to formulate targeted measures, first increasing the number of updates and expanding distribution channels, and then it still can't win "Yitian", so it can only increase the number of words updated per day to 10,000, so terrifying The number of words updated is still handwritten by people at this stage, and it is not easy to have 10,000 words a day.
Yan Buwen smiled: "I understand." ”
When Yan Buwen went back from the teahouse, he was thinking about a question, whether to send out a complete chapter of 20,000 or 30,000 words, don't divide it into two parts, it is impossible to establish Yan Buwen's status with a copy of "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", Xiang Shuai, the grandmaster of the southern school, still has a fixed reader in Shanghai, and the circulation of "World Journal Nikko" plus "Jianghu Talk" is too large, and it will not be good to submerge "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" when the time comes.
The ontology of "Dajiang Daily" does not have much advantage, so he can only use some hands and feet to update the number of words, but fortunately, he now has nearly 200,000 words of manuscript in reserve, and he can afford to spend it. And Yan Buwen is equivalent to three people creating, while Xiang Shuai is one person, and the update speed is definitely not as fast as Yan Buwen.
Now that I'm in a hurry, I'm going to be this Southern Sect Grandmaster!
After Yan Buwen went back, he asked Cao Yuan'an to give Yan Buwen some more layout, and asked tentatively: "Can you change the illustrations to color?" ”
Cao Yuanan's nose is even smarter than Yan Buwen, and he has long heard that Xiang Shuai, the grandmaster of the Southern Sect, wants to suppress "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", which not only increased the number of updated words during this time, but also expanded the distribution channels, so Cao Yuan'an has been waiting here for Yan Buwen to come over, and if Yan Buwen really came over. Cao Yuanan directly agreed, but instead of cutting the layout, but increasing the layout, "Dajiang Daily" will have one more, and the price will remain the same, which increases the cost, but for such a large sales newspaper, this cost is acceptable.
Cao Yuanan said with a smile: "I don't hear it, if you want to turn illustrations into color, you need to have a color printing press, on the one hand, we don't have this technology, and on the other hand, we need special mosaics, and the cost is a bit big." If you really want to do it, you can only ask the master to draw a few thousand pictures and paste them, there is no other way. ”
The most important reason is that the technology is not in place, there are black and white newspapers at home and abroad, who doesn't want to make it colorful? But without the technology and financial resources, and the speed of color printing can not keep up, the gains outweigh the losses. Newspapers are books with huge circulation, and they are generally thrown away after reading them, and wiping their butts is too bad to wipe their butts.
Yan Buwen also asked casually, since it doesn't work, then forget it, anyway, there are black and white illustrations, and they can barely be used.
Cao Yuanan then asked Yan Buwen: "Recently, although the sales of the newspaper have also increased, the range is not large, not as much as before, probably because the publication of "Jianghu Hero" 10,000 words a day has blocked our sales, if we do not break this predicament, I am afraid that the influence of "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" will be discounted. ”
Cao Yuan'an stopped at the point, there was no need to say more, Yan Bu would understand.
Yan Buwen said: "What Mr. Cao said makes sense, I will pay attention to it." ”
……
Today is the fourth day of Mr. Xiang's 10,000-word update.,Finally, the rest of the chapters are almost written back.,I have time to go to the teahouse.,Just to see the reaction of those old men.。 As soon as I walked into the "hearsay" teahouse, I saw more than 20 people sitting and drinking tea inside, including more than a dozen old men who had nothing to do all day. Seeing Mr. Xiang passing, he hurriedly said hello.
"Mr. Xiang, you have been cultivating immortals these days, 10,000 words a day, we are called a cool, you killed thirty-eight people in a row that Zhou Daxia, and pulled out the bandits' nest, and you deserve to be called the Tianxing Dao Pingjiang Zhou Daxia is also."
"Yes, yes, Mr. Xiang, how did you write so fast during this time, it's not like your style."
"Some of them are not good, at this rate, we can finally see the finale at the end of next month, which is the long-cherished wish of our old men."
"Haha, I've finally waited for my lifetime, otherwise I'll have to let my children burn me"
……
More than a dozen old men gossiped and coaxed Mr. to flutter, knowing that their hardships during this period were not in vain, and seeing that the shelves of this teahouse were full of novels and newspapers of "Jianghu Shuo" and "World Journal Nikko", it can be proved that the influence of "Jianghu Hero" is now dominant, and no one can compete with him at all.
Mr. Xiang smiled, this is a normal thing, he has sat down as the grandmaster of the Southern School for so many years, and he is not completely unconfident, it seems that he is indeed making a fuss and scaring himself, he has been comfortable in the past few years, and he scared himself when he appeared in "Heaven and Dragon Slayer".
'Yongsheng' is just like his pen name, but he is just a mediocre gentleman, how can he compare with me?
Mr. Xiang is now full of demeanor, after all, he was also a martial artist before, so he still has an aura, and he is full of spirit, sits down towards a bench, and lets the little worker serve tea.
After the worker came over, he said with a smile: "You happened to come this year, and a gentleman will come to talk about the book soon, you can quickly find a good place to sit down, otherwise there will be no place for a while." ”
Mr. Xiang became interested: "Tell the story, what kind of book?" ”
Xiaogong scratched his head: "This depends on what Mr. is willing to say, we don't ask for it, let us know, wouldn't it be boring to spoil it, but there is a general situation, it seems to be Mr. Xiang's "Jianghu Hero", I remember hearing that the storyteller said. ”
Mr. Xiang smiled: "This is one yuan, and the rest should be used as a tip, so you don't need to look for it." ”
"Thank you, Mr. Xiang, you can use it slowly."
Mr. Xiang's heart suddenly sprung up with excitement, this is the first time to hear others talk about his book, he was not interested in listening to it before, today I don't know why I want to hear how to hear about his own book, and recently he killed thirty-eight people in a row for Tianxingdao Zhou Daxia in his own book, it can be said that he is a powerful Pingjiang, and he was given the title of Pingjiang Zhou Daxia, which must be enjoyable.
So Mr. Xiang slowed down the speed of drinking tea, took a sip of a sip, ate a snack, and waited patiently, after a long time, there were more and more people in the teahouse, and many people knew Mr. Xiang, and took the initiative to say hello when they saw him. After being introduced by people they didn't know before, they all knew that this was Xiang Shuai, the grandmaster of the Southern Sect, so they all came forward to greet him.
"I didn't expect it to be Mr. Buxiao, who wrote "Jianghu Heroes" and "Jianghu Heroes", I really admired it for a long time, and I was lucky to meet it today."
"Is it Mr.'s book today, by the way, the hero killed thirty-eight bandits in the recent week, and he is really a hero."
"Give Mr. Buxiao a good seat."
