Chapter 44 Aftermath (Part 2)
Beihetang was stunned for a moment, met the boss's gaze, then realized it and nodded in agreement.
"The first issue of the donation "Ding Fantasy" is based on martial arts as the theme, telling every editor this meaning and collecting good ideas at any time."
Xue Muliang speaks very fast, but his thinking is clear and his speech is organized.
"This is how you go, and the meeting will be broken."
After everyone left, Xue Muliang leaned on the chair and rubbed his eyebrows with his hands. Yesterday, after seeing Gu Yongsheng revealing himself that he was the author of "The Sword of Yue Girl", he realized very accurately that the poaching incident would end in failure. Sure enough, not long after, Mo She called him to start Plan B.
The so-called Plan B is the task he just assigned - entering the martial arts novel.
Since you can't dig up Gu Yongsheng, then copy it again. As a publisher, you cannot always focus on the already famous authors, but try to dig up new authors. Only in this way can the content industry prosper.
Xue Muliang adjusted his emotions, took out "The Great Rivers and Lakes" from a bunch of magazines around the corner of the table, carefully turned to the chapter "Seven Swords Under the Tianshan Mountains" and started reading.
In fact, in addition to Plan B, Xue Muliang also secretly prepared Plan C. He had to take action himself when he had no choice. You should know that his famous work "Second Space" was also a fantasy novel. In the inherent concept, the difference between fantasy and martial arts is not too far.
In any case, as a "miracle in the publishing industry", Xue Muliang has gone from an ordinary writer to his position today, and he will definitely have certain qualities such as tenacity.
...
Cui Song's news was not wrong. After Chen Shirang read "The Sword of Yue Girl", he praised it very much. After seeing the author's self-report, he learned about the whole story of the siege of Gu Yongsheng. As an expert-level literary researcher, he has always hated the act of putting a hat. Looking back on history, from the Qin Emperor burning books to the Qing Dynasty, how damaged Chinese cultural heritage has been?
As for the seemingly joking self-introduction of Gu Yongsheng, in Professor Chen's opinion, it is more of anger and willful. In fact, it is very rare to be able to be so calm after being attacked so many times. If he was many years ago, he might have already cursed.
When teaching graduate students, Chen Shirang specifically proposed this incident for everyone to discuss. The students knew that the tutor had written an article to praise "The Sword of Yue" before, and they were different from those so-called passionate young people who were just a little bit, and they discussed the advantages and disadvantages of "The Sword of Yue" and "The Seven Swords of the Tianshan Mountains" very rationally and professionally.
"You don't have to be too polite. I want to hear the real voices of your young people. Will you join forces to beat me up after reading these stories?" Chen Shirang asked with a smile.
"How is that possible?" the student replied in a hurry. Although he knew that his mentor liked to joke, he still had to express his opinions positively.
"However, because we are adults..." One of the boys wearing glasses hesitated. Although he didn't finish speaking, everyone could hear the implication that adults naturally have their own views on right and wrong, and would not commit crimes just by watching movies and TV series or novels. However, those minors with less than three views do not have this kind of judgment ability.
Professor Chen waved his hand and said, "I find that there are more and more young people like you now. They are in their prime, but they are old-fashioned and seem to be more persistent than me. I don't want to bring out a bunch of decadent students."
The graduate student's face turned slightly red, and he lowered his head and did not speak. Chen Shirang continued, "Xiao Bo's words also make sense, otherwise how could there be a child's word that would not be suitable?"
The students below smiled knowingly again.
"But from my perspective, there is no part that is not suitable for children in "Seven Swords Under the Tianshan Mountains" or "The Sword of Yue Girl". On the contrary, I saw that the book teaches everyone how to be a person with a sense of justice and promote justice to overcome evil. What's wrong with that?"
After Chen Shirang finished speaking, he glanced at everyone and asked, "Have anyone ever seen Gu Yongsheng's works?"
A girl sitting in the first row looked around for a moment, then silently raised her hand and said, "I watched "The Sword of the Yue Girl".
Chen Shirang nodded and said seriously: "We are most taboo in literary research to leave the text and comment in a mess. Wang Bin, tell me your opinion on "The Sword of Yue Girl".
The girl named Wang Bin blinked and said, "I saw the beauty of Xi Shi, I saw the hatred of King Goujian of Yue for Fuchai, and I saw the loyalty of Wen Zhong to Yue, but I like the most straightforward Ah Qing, but unfortunately she is too inferior."
Chen Shirang smiled and said, "What kind of girl can maintain confidence when she sees Xi Shi?"
Although most of the graduate students here have never read "The Sword of the Yue Girl", they are still familiar with the topics of Wu Yue's War and Xi Shi, and they all joined the discussion.
...
"In just over 10,000 words, it actually includes martial arts, legends, politics, love and even myths. It can be said that although the sparrow is small, it is complete with all its internal organs. It is really amazing."
Qianhong editorial work group inevitably had to discuss "The Sword of Yue Girl". Gu Yongsheng played a trick and took action. The editors also felt secretly happy. When they talked about this story, everyone was excited.
"I personally feel that the most exciting part of the whole article is the last point, which makes the allusion of 'Xizi holding the heart' come alive."
After all, the length is too small, and everyone’s discussion cannot be separated from the love triangle between Fan Li, A Qing and Xi Shi. The more innovative view is which one is stronger, A Qing or Zhan Zhao’s swordsmanship?
Just as everyone was discussing it, Lu Yichou suddenly appeared and said, "The issue number of "The Grass on the Yuanshang" has been obtained, and Mr. Han can finally make a legal magazine."
As soon as the news came out, everyone immediately scattered flowers to celebrate, and Han Shuo also expressed a happy expression.
"Don't be happy in a hurry." Lu Yichou poured a basin of cold water, and the editors began to get nervous again.
"If nothing unexpected happens, "Seven Swords" will return next week. Tang Nan prepares it. Okay, now you can be happy..."
...
August is the last month of summer, and the weather remains hot, but occasionally typhoons coming from the ocean can relieve some of the scorching heat. This may be the only benefit of a hateful typhoon.
"Congratulations, I heard from Tang Nan that "Seven Swords" will continue to be serialized next month."
Mihu and Liu Jingting were walking around an open-air antique market for flowers and birds. Mihu turned his head and looked at Liu Jingting and said.
Liu Jingting smiled lightly, spread his hands, looking "nothing strange".
Mihu curled his lips and turned to see a colorful bird. The two of them walked quietly for a while. Mihu asked inadvertently: "Now everyone is discussing your article "The Sword of Yue Girl". What do you think of it yourself?"
"I remember I told you that after any work is formed, it has its own destiny. It is up to others to comment on the right and wrong. Those who like it can always find reasons to like it. Those who hate it are the same. I think everyone's discussion makes sense, which is very good."
Mi Hu was obviously not satisfied with the answer. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard a strange voice sounding, "Very good, very good!" He looked up and saw that it was a parrot who was learning from Liu Jingting to speak.
Liu Jingting looked at the parrot and felt enlightened. He suddenly smiled bitterly and said without thinking: "Actually, everyone is a parrot."
Mi Hu thought he was commenting on everyone's comments on him, and continued: "Although a work can contain several contents, everyone is interested in it, and the opinions are inevitably repeated. As for the part of personal attack..." Mi Hu shook his head and said that there is no good solution.
Liu Jingting has always been calm about this problem and said, "This should be a problem that every product manufacturer has to face. There will definitely be a group of people who will go down three ways, or go all the way, regardless of whether they are innocent."
“Along the way?”
Liu Jingting pointed to his head and said with a smile: "If you don't talk about this, let's go and see that vase, how could it be so tall?"
Mi Hu has always been worried that Liu Jingting would be affected by some vicious remarks from the outside world, which would become afraid of writing. However, it seems that every time he talks to him about this issue, he always seems so indifferent.
"It doesn't matter that you can be fearless!"
Mi Hu remembered that he said this, but she didn't really believe that someone could do this. Since he didn't want to talk more, then go and see the vase.
...
When Liu Jingting and Mihu were standing in front of a blue and white porcelain vase that was more than 1.7 meters tall, there were two boys and girls who looked like couples, sitting on a bench in a park in Jianghai.
The girl is about fifteen or sixteen years old, with short hair and single eyelids, very white skin, cute and dazed eyes, and looks very simple. The boy may be a little older than one or two years older, and is also dressed casually, but it can be seen that each one is valuable. This is not because there is a brand-name logo on his clothes, but because a black high-end sedan was parked not far away, and there was a burly bodyguard wearing Black Super standing next to the sedan.
"The story is too short, and it's not even twenty episodes to be changed into a TV series. Give me an idea." The boy begged the girl sincerely.
"Why did you suddenly care about this? You won't really change your temper, right?" The girl's tone of speaking was a little inconsistent with her simple appearance.
"You are not unaware that you have been overwhelmed by the ocean recently. Every time you see my dad and my brother, they look sad. I watched this "The Sword of Yue Girl". It has been quite popular recently, and it will definitely be a selling point when it is changed to TV."
"This sounds so fresh. Your dad and your brother are still frowning. How do you ask others to survive?"
The boy disliked the girl's ridicule, and leaned over with a smile and said, "Good Qianqian, please help me. After the matter is done, I will take you to Hainan by yacht, or go to Canada to ski."
The girl turned her head and looked at the boy and said lightly: "As long as you, Gong Er, open your mouth, the person who wants to write the script for you can line up from Jianghai to Yanjing, why do you come to me with a licking face?"
"I only believe in you."
It can be seen that the boy, known as Gong Er Shao, is picking up girls with something particularly serious. Although he tried his best to present a positive and enterprising image, the attentiveness and unique flattery on his face when facing the girl in front of him were still very obvious.
The girl suddenly stood up from the chair, pointed to the car not far away and said, "If you are sincere, come to me next time. What's the matter with your bodyguard? You haven't watched an idol drama. How could a girl from a poor family like us be so grand and not simple at all when she got up."
