Among the increasingly shady awards incidents, the one who may encounter the most pressure is Hang Shuitao, a senior editor of the "Monthly News" who previously formed a friendship with Wang Defu.

If he hadn't pushed this work, maybe "The Dragon's Head" would have been buried, unless another member of the award committee unearthed such a work from the many submissions to this competition.

And what made Hang Shuitao really determined to make this work a success was that after reading "The Dragon's Head", he completely confirmed the true identity of the "new author" Mo Xian.

Hang Shuitao has always believed that Wang Defu is a real genius of writing, and only he can write this kind of work that can not only sell well, but also arouse widespread public opinion!

At this time, when he saw the amazement of the sales of the work "Dragon's Head" in many newspapers and magazines, as well as various in-depth interpretations, he finally showed a triumphant smile.

Sure enough, he bet on Wang Defu, which is an extremely correct thing!

In the many newspapers at Hang Shuitao's hand, I saw many headlines like this-

"40 Things You Probably Didn't Know About 'The Dragon'"

"What are the three views of "Dragon's Head""

"The night I understood "Dragon Head" was my coming-of-age ceremony"

"25 Sayings About "The Dragon's Head"

"The Dragon's Head – A Man's Bible"

……

Hang Shuitao's face showed an extremely happy smile, he has been an editor in the popular field for so long, and it is the first time he has encountered it, and many mainstream literati who think they are more stylish have begun to fancy touting a popular film depicting the underworld!

This may be what makes Wang Defu's works better than other popular authors, there are always a variety of golden sentences in his works that can be made into "classic quotations", and readers who like to read deeply can always interpret what they want to convey to other readers according to his works.

In short, after Wang Defu's works are written, they no longer belong to him, but have become a tool for every reader, some use this tool to strengthen themselves, and some use this tool to influence others.

Since "The Dragon's Head" was published by the Commercial Press, the largest private publishing house in the empire, many newspapers and magazines under the Commercial Press of course also touted this work fanciously, and its first printing was so many that it was sold out in less than a week, of course, it also increased the Commercial Press's optimism about "The Dragon's Head", so it further promoted this work.

Even the most influential newspaper under the Commercial Press, "Oriental Daily", even published an article for "Longtou", but did not let any literary bigwig interpret this work, but directly wittily excerpted the "golden sentences" in "Longtou" and showed it to all readers.

"Oriental Daily" shows the classic quotations in "Dragon's Head" from three aspects, and there are 75 in total.

1. Life and life

1. Great people are not born to be great, but show their greatness in the process of growth.

2. I would never impose friendship on someone who doesn't need it – who thinks I'm insignificant.

3. Let your friends underestimate your strengths and your enemies overestimate your weaknesses.

…… (22 omitted)

Second, the truth of society

1. Behind the great wealth, there is sin.

2. Finance is a pistol, and politics is knowing when to pull the trigger.

3. Those who cannot control power will be destroyed by power.

…… (22 omitted)

3. Family

1. You are my family, I love you.

2. Do you spend time with your family? A man who doesn't take care of his family is not a man at all.

3. If you don't spend time with your family, you'll never be a real man.

…… (22 omitted)

I have to admit that some of the 75 so-called classic quotations made up by "Oriental Daily" can indeed be regarded as classics, but many of them are undoubtedly forcibly made up, but they are still very good for the publicity effect of "Longtou".

This kind of propaganda method of listing classic quotations is like using a sentence in an article, no matter whether it is neatly arranged or not, the momentum is indeed very strong, and it has never been popular before, so many classic quotations can be made, which undoubtedly highlights the forced style of "Dragon Head".

Under this overwhelming publicity, the previous vigorous public opinion of the shady awards seems to have completely become a joke!

Xu Tianxiao, the creator of "Love Lost in the Demon Capital", who first made a questioning remark about the "Magic Capital Popular Award", was disgraced by the sales of "Dragon Head", and he was originally extremely inflated, but he completely fell into a state of autism......

The members of the award committee, who seemed to be pretending to be dead and had no voice at all, seemed to have all been resurrected now, and they were interviewed by the media one after another, boasting about their insights, and at the same time not forgetting to knock on the previous swelling "Xu Saburo".

An unnamed judge said: "Since its establishment, the 'Magic Capital Popular Awards' has adhered to the principles of openness, fairness and justice, and everything is evaluated by the popularity of the work. ”

Liu Xianran, a "women's rights fighter", disappeared completely for a while after the big sale of "Dragon Head", as if he had forgotten that he had criticized the "Magic Capital Popular Awards" for discriminating against women.

And the famous long-form writer and literary bigwig Shen Mingfu's comments on "Dragon Head" completely made this work "god"!

"The great thing about the protagonist in "The Dragon's Head" is that he is well aware of his responsibilities as an 'underground emperor', so he always abides by his creed and never sells drugs and harms people.

It is precisely because of this that "The Dragon's Head" tells us that as long as you can face the world decently, you can also live decently.

Therefore, he can casually interact with high-level political figures, from the lowest to the top of society, and he can also weave an invisible and complex web.

So, whether it's a dispute over gang interests or a fratricidal trick, the dragon head seems to always have the ability and courage to control everything, isolated from all living beings, overlooking the sky.

What made me so obsessed with Dragon's Head? A female reader asked me this.

I replied to her: 'It is the Bible for us men, and it contains all the wisdom. ’
