Chapter 62 As soon as the witch comes out, who will fight
[Zhuo Yihang sighed. The love affairs over the past decade passed by his heart one by one: the first meeting of Huanglong Cave, the night talk of Mingyue Gorge, the disputes on Wudang Mountain, and the separation on the desert are as vivid as it is... The poem says: After the farewell, there are no news about the music and books, and predict that there will be many harmonious things. It is only because of the close friends in the sea that I believe that the world is as close as a neighbor... The North Star in the sky is rising again!]
Liu Jingting's eyes were shining, and the expression on his face gradually became brighter. When he made the last exclamation mark, "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch" finally ushered in the final moment!
"The Legend of the White-Haired Witch" has a total of 32 episodes, each episode with more than 10,000 words. Apart from class, playing with classmates, and writing "Seven Swords" and "Shuke and Beta", Liu Jingting still maintains the speed of one episode a day, which is already very proud.
Even without conception, this is a big project. After all, he is not a robot.
Liu Jingting made the whole story and noted a paragraph later: the story of Zhuo Yihang, Lian Nishang and others, which is described in "Seven Swords Under the Tianshan Mountains", for details.
Then he added the historical materials noted at the end of the original work, put them in a folder, and then opened Lu Yichou's encrypted email.
...
"Dang thud, thud thud..."
This series of rhythmic tapping sounds came from the office of the President of Qianhong Culture. At this time, Lu Yichou was sitting at the desk, holding his chin with his left hand and on the table with his right hand, and his fingers kept tapping the tabletop.
Last night, I received a message from Liu Jingting that his new book would be completed today. After receiving this news, Lu Yichou almost woke up laughing this morning. In late September, more than a dozen publishing houses announced that they would launch a martial arts novel plan in October. When they remembered the sarcastic questions from the industry, Lu Yichou was so angry that he was so angry.
All morning, no news came from Gu Yongsheng, and Lu Yichou did not urge him. He continued to wait patiently. After lunch, he smoked and chatted with several senior executives in the company as usual. Then he went to the editorial office to take care of the grassroots editors, and then returned to the office to handle daily affairs. The portrait of Gu Yongsheng of WC was still gray and there was no movement.
The experienced Lu Yichou naturally wouldn't urge him, but just occasionally refreshed his email.
The editorial group is discussing this smokeless battle.
"Xue Muliang didn't actually play the plan to delay the draft this time."
"Only he can use this trick himself, which reflects his status."
"They are also very diligent. The official announcement announced the Golden Week signing tour, which will be in nearly ten cities."
Lu Yichou didn't know if it was to relieve stress from himself, but he also participated in the discussion and asked: "Who has seen "Tianluo Tower"?"
Soon three or four editors responded to the conversation and said that they had read it. Before the boss continued to ask questions, they took the initiative to explain their reading notes. It was not until Kuang Heng spoke that others stopped expressing their opinions. Because Kuang Heng was old and had brought Beihetang himself, he had the most say.
"The story layout basically continues the style of "Feng Yan". There are too many conspiracies and the dark forces are blindly large. When the bottom is exposed, it seems that the writing skills are insufficient. The big hole dug in front is too weak to fill the back. In addition, it may be to distinguish it from Gu Yongsheng, and the traces of modernization of the narrative method are too obvious."
Kuang Heng could easily make these summary by just browsing the new novels of Beihetang. After talking about Beihetang, he commented on the other two novels with great momentum: "Bun Dao and Qinse confessed, and both admitted to imitating "Seven Swords". As of now, "Bun Dao" by Duan Dao is the most outstanding. Qinse wrote martial arts, and the fans are still a little more arrogant."
After Kuang Heng finished speaking, a brief silence appeared in the group, and then a female editor said: "But Qinse wrote martial arts from a female perspective and made women the protagonists of martial arts novels for the first time. This is a big breakthrough, right?"
Lu Yichou continued: "It is definitely not the first to use women as the protagonist."
Everyone fell into silence for a moment. Since they knew that the boss would be groundless when he spoke, they would not know where the hole was?
Editor-in-chief Wei Wuzhi interjected and asked: "What does Mr. Lu mean?"
Lu Yichou did not respond, and the atmosphere of the whole group suddenly seemed a little strange. The young editor even felt a little nervous inexplicably. Maybe he was used to the scene of Editor-in-Chief Wei calling the wind and rain and guiding the group editor. At this time, he saw that he was actually left aside, and he was inevitably worried. This mentality was very wonderful.
After a long time of disharmonious quietness, Lu Yichou finally replied. He did not answer Editor-in-Chief Wei's question head-on, but instead screened a picture, which showed a conversation between him and Gu Yongsheng.
Gu Yongsheng: Mr. Lu, the manuscript has been finished and has been sent to the email address.
Lu Yichou: (scattering flowers) Thank you for your hard work, leave the rest to me!
After the screenshot, Lu Yichou announced to everyone in an infinite joyful tone: "Gu Yongsheng's new martial arts work "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch" will be competing for October, everyone is ready!"
It was like a small bomb, and the group immediately became excited. Wei Wuzhi, Hou Lei, Hong Ming and other company executives appeared and left messages to express their celebration. Hong Ming, the Public Relations Department, said happily: "I have really been holding it back so hard recently. Seeing that other companies are all making a fortune, we can only do it in a hurry. It turns out that our ultimate move is here. Mr. Lu, let's get the task!"
Kuang Heng said: "Although Gu Yongsheng has always been famous, he has not released the "Seven Swords" and there is no representative work after all. It is just the right time to choose to promote a new book at this time."
Because of Gu Yongsheng's new book, the group immediately presented a joyful atmosphere.
"Old Wei, the manuscript has been transferred to your email address; Vice President Hou, contact the printing factory immediately, and there are at least fifteen companies; Hong Ming, immediately issue an announcement from the official Weibo account; all editors, the forum can start to start!"
"Received, Mr. Lu!"
"Received, Mr. Lu!"
...
Everyone, including Lu Yichou himself, has not read "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch", but no one doubted the turmoil that this book would cause. While secretly admiring Mr. Lu's cultivation and means, the editors began to sweep the major forums.
"Most inside story!!! Gu Yongsheng's new work "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch" is about to be launched!!!"
"The October riot battle, Qianhong's heavy punches are prominent, and Gu Yongsheng is promoting his new work!"
"The Yue girl left the stage sadly, and the witch's beauty is coming!"
...
A stone stirred up a thousand waves. The news that Gu Yongsheng’s new book was launched in October instantly spread to every corner of the Internet. After Qianhong Culture technically maintained a period of silence, the official microblog made a brilliant debut and issued an important announcement:
Dear readers, the editor here to confirm to you about Gu Yongsheng’s new work "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch" circulating online - the rumors are true!!!
That’s right, Gu Yongsheng’s work, "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch", will be grandly released by Qianhong Culture in the near future!
Readers who think "The Sword of Yue Girl" is too short and "The Seven Swords Under the Tianshan Mountains" are too slow, you are blessed. Gu Yongsheng's new work skipped all serialization sessions and released the entire book directly, ensuring that you can watch it at one time!
...
After Lu Yichou forwarded this post, he commented indifferently: "How is this copy like a TV shopping? It's gorgeous and not plain enough. Let me give you some practical content. Gu Yongsheng's new book "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch" is about the story before "Seven Swords". It will introduce some itchy and unsatisfactory characters in "Seven Swords" in detail. In order to create this book, Gu Shao reviewed dozens of historical materials before and after, and the scale is not inferior to a doctoral thesis; three days later, the first batch of one million hot, exquisite and wonderful martial arts masterpieces will be distributed nationwide, and late friends can only wait for the second batch."
Editor-in-chief Wei Wuzhi used three hours to quickly read "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch". After a full minute of stunnedness, he spoke in the group: "I roughly browse "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch". I feel that the martial arts novels sold on the market are preschool exercises recently."
It is rare for Editor-in-Chief Wei to be cute once, and everyone is here to support him and ask for a manuscript.
Lu Yichou said: "The current value of this book is 25 million. If nothing unexpected happens, the number will double, so everyone wait."
Wei Wuming: "If you include film and television, it is a conservative estimate to increase ten times more."
Lu Yicong asked casually: "How many agents have you entered now?"
The Operations Director answered: "In five hours, eighty-seven agents have called."
Lu Yicong said calmly: "Unexpectedly, we witnessed a new publication record like this. I guess the brothers are busy. What do you think?"
...
"Everyone tell me," Xue Muliang said with his chin expressionlessly, "What are the missing places when collecting information before?"
The conference room was silent and no one dared to respond. Less than two days after "Tianluo Tower" was released, Qianhong suddenly took action, and the time it was so fast, accurate and ruthless that it really caught the young new leader off guard.
In Xue Muliang's concept, two books with similar popularity were listed in the same tier, and they were all about publicity. However, when he determined that Beihetang's biggest opponent Gu Yongsheng stood by for October, he confidently judged that Beihetang would inevitably be invincible, so the promotion intensity could naturally be adjusted appropriately. However, he never expected that the scheming Lu Yichou would use Han Shuo, Yi Shui'an and the serialized "Seven Swords" to cover up Gu Yongsheng's new book, leaving behind this unexpected son.
"Then let's face a pair head-on. The confrontation of literary and artistic works ultimately depends on quality to judge the outcome." Beihetang continued, his tone of slight and unintentional.
Xue Muliang said without comment: "They can be calm after all, but it's not up to anyone, and I have nothing to pursue. If you continue, all the employees of the company, including its authors, do not make any comments on Gu Yongsheng's new book. No matter what kind of provocation the other party makes or what related issues the media raises, they will ignore them. That's it."
This presidential order means that our Dingjie will never cooperate with you Qianhong to create topics for your new book.
Most of Xue Muliang's fame is due to the proper cooperation with the media and various channels, so he is extremely interested in product promotion. In an interview, he once confessed that "Although the wine is not afraid of the deep alley, isn't it better to move the wine to the street?"
In addition to Dingjie Culture, many book companies such as Tie Hulu and Wan Chui held an interim meeting on Gu Yongsheng's new book. The content of the meeting was similar, mainly to monitor the latest trends of Gu Yongsheng's new book and whether Qianhong would make remarks related to him.
Xue Muliang has a very high opinion of himself and is unwilling to be Qianhong's stepping stone, but other book companies are very happy to be able to mess with Qianhong and argue.
...
What surprised everyone was that Qianhong did not make any publicity beyond Gu Yongsheng's new book, and there was no word, because Lu Yichou, the head of Qianhong who had already read the complete book, said: "The book "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch" is still hyped and promoted, which is to look down on me, Lu Yichou, and even more on Gu Yongsheng."
All businessmen understand one thing: Only consumer reputation is real money, 100% and the strongest publicity!
Chapter completed!
