Chapter 103: A New Book of Martial Arts
Lu Zhong is an ordinary white-collar worker in Yanjing, with a high housing price, with his annual salary of less than 100,000 yuan, there is no need to think about buying a house, he can only dig a pit and bury where he wants.
Although his income is not high, he is also trying to save money, and the dream of a house still has to be had, what if he wins the lottery one day? So he usually has no other hobbies, just likes to read martial arts novels, only the world where the white-clothed Shengxue comes and goes like the wind, can make him temporarily forget the troubles of reality.
But Lu Zhong has recently caused a book shortage, and the current martial arts novels are all the same, either the grievances of the rivers and lakes, or assisting a Qing official to thoroughly investigate the prince's rebellion, etc., and I feel bored after reading too much.
"Let me see what new books there are?"
Lu Zhong opened "Eagle Eye Books", which is a brand new website, which not only has movie reviews, but also book reviews, where book lovers can rate the books they support, and can also buy their favorite books on it, of course, through Taobao, which is linked above.
Lu Zhong has tried it a few times, and the book is cheaper than the physical store, like his favorite who can live.
"New book pre-sales... He clicked on the previous column and introduced new books.
"The name of "Six-Fingered Qin Demon" is really emotional, the author Yuchen, I haven't heard that it turned out to be a newcomer, but it was actually a preface written by Ji Changfeng himself!"
Lu Zhong came to the spirit all of a sudden, and with the endorsement of Ji Changfeng, one of the four kings of martial arts, even if it is a newcomer's work, it should not be underestimated.
"This is the most wonderful martial arts I have seen in recent years, although the author is a young talent, but the writing is old and spicy, there is no trace of youth at all, and the plot ups and downs are often unexpected. ”
Ji Changfeng is one of the four kings of martial arts in the Ming Dynasty, and has been famous in the literary world for decades with a copy of "Golden Knife Xing", although he has been sealing the pen for many years, but he is willing to comment on a newcomer's work, and the manual is still good.
And Ji Changfeng's praise of the book is not just as simple as praise, it can be said that it can be admired to the point of admiration, and this preface makes Lu Zhong's heart itch.
However, "The Six-Fingered Piano Demon" is currently in the pre-sale stage, and now the payment will not be available until three days later, because three days later is the official launch of the book, and the author will also sign and sell it in Yanjing's largest book city, Daming Library.
Although Lu Zhong was in a hurry, he had no choice but to click to confirm the payment order.
"I wish I could get the book soon!"
After paying the money, Lu Zhong looked at the cover picture of "Six-Fingered Piano Demon" on the screen, on which there was a bewitching man, his long hair was like snow falling in the wind, and his six-fingered hand was plucking the strings in his hand, which was really exciting.
"Let's see what other books there are, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", the author, Qingzi Champion, is another newcomer, the title of the book is a bit bland, is it the story of the hunter?" Lu Zhong clicked on the introduction of a book and read it.
"The editor-in-chief of "Martial Arts" Xia Gang strongly recommends the work, the pioneering work of the new school of martial arts! ”
Lu Zhong was taken aback by this introduction, and said secretly: "Who is Xia Gang? The editor-in-chief of Daming's best-selling "Martial Arts" magazine, how could he also speak wildly, is there anything special about this book's mediocre newcomer novel?"
But he had already bought a book and spent a few dozen oceans, and it would be a bit over budget to buy another one this month, so his mouse moved over the words "confirmed purchase" for a long time without deciding.
Lu Zhong slapped the table for the last time and said: "Forget it, I've already bought a copy, it's enough to read this month, not to mention that although Xia Gang is the editor-in-chief, can it be compared to Ji Changfeng? ”
"Huh, what is this?" Lu Zhong suddenly found that there was another link under "Shooting the Condor", which was not available in other books, he took a closer look, and suddenly Daxi hurriedly clicked in.
。。。
The next day, the southern province, Weijia.
"Dad, did yesterday's pre-sale come out?" Wei Zhen asked anxiously.
Wesley was not in a hurry, and after glancing at the computer, he said unhurriedly: "The online pre-sale of 120,000 sets is not bad, and it almost broke the first-day sales record of my "Blue Snowman". ”
"Dad, how can this be compared, not to mention that this book is also yours... Wei Zhen smiled, his face was radiant, and his illness seemed to be half better.
Wesley retracted his smile and said, "Hey, this can't be nonsense, from now on, whether there is anyone or not, you have to remember that you wrote "The Six-Fingered Piano Demon". ”
Wei Zhen hurriedly nodded yes, and Wei Living's face softened at this time, this time he did not hesitate to come up with his new work to help him, and asked his old friend Ji Changfeng to come out.
On the one hand, of course, it is to help his son deal with Yingshuai to cure his heart disease, but on the other hand, he also wants to help his son get on the horse, although Wei Zhen is a genius boy, but there is no work that can be used, and when he is a few years older, he is afraid that the voice of doubt will rise, so this time he simply kills two birds with one stone, and it is better to cheapen his own son than to support others.
However, despite the fact that the author of the book signed under the pen name of his son, Wesley was still excited about this pre-sale result, which showed that he was not old.
"Eagle Eye is the second place on the list of new book potential, and the pre-sale of "Shooting the Condor" is 40,000 copies. Wesley looked down again, and it was obvious that none of the new books behind him could threaten "The Six-Fingered Piano Demon", and he was completely relieved.
Wesley said: "Okay, Zhen'er clean up, we are also ready to go on the road, tomorrow is the day you sign the sale in Yanjing's Daming Book City, we will fly over today, I will introduce you to a few more seniors, you can behave well." ”
Wei Zhen said mischievously: "Don't worry, Dad, with such a good work, I'm afraid that I won't be able to convince the hero, but I'm worried that I will use literature to subdue a director and win, haha!"
"Alright, don't be poor, let's go!" Wesley said dotingly patting him on the shoulder.
。。。。。
The next day, Daming Library.
The Daming Library has five floors, with 20,000 square meters, and has three multi-purpose halls that can accommodate 1,000 people, which can be used for various new book launches and other activities, which is one of the most influential places in the Daming literary circle.
Today, Wei Zhen is going to hold a signing event for "Six Fingers Qin Demon" here, which his father spent a lot of effort to get, otherwise how could a newcomer's signing be qualified to be placed here.
Wei Zhen shook his head, yesterday his father took him to meet a few seniors in the literary world, and his junior naturally wanted to drink a few more glasses, this was still stopped by Wei Sili when he was recovering from a serious illness, otherwise he probably wouldn't be able to get out of bed today.
However, the harvest is also very large, and Ji Changfeng promised to personally sit in the signing meeting today to cheer him on.
At nine o'clock, Wei Zhen, Wesley and Ji Changfeng sat at the long table prepared for them by Daming Library on time, quietly waiting for the signing meeting to begin, through the huge floor-to-ceiling glass, you can see that the door is already crowded with black pressure, Wei Zhen can't help but the corners of his mouth curl.
"These are all people who have come to buy books, Yingshuai, you can also come and take a look, I will announce it later, challenge you!"
