Chapter 67 'Drunken Fist'

During these three days, Zhao Chen went to Mong Kok, Causeway Bay and Tsim Sha Tsui respectively. Most of the readers of "The Legend of the Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" are concentrated in these places. There is no way, the economy determines everything in this era.

Although this will inevitably lead to a great impact on daily work, the effect is also quite good. At least tens of thousands of novels or comics have been widely used in the "Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" on the surface.

Of course, this is secondary to Zhao Chen, because his main purpose is not here, but to promote the world comics magazine!

In these three days, especially after the rolling text dissemination of the TVB, the reputation of the World Comics Magazine was suddenly promoted, and at least many people in Xiangjiang had some impression.

As for those readers who participated in the signing party, they kept Tianxia Comics Magazine in their hearts and wanted to see Zhao Chen's second comic. As for Ma Rongcheng's "Chinese Heroes" was subconsciously ignored by them, and fame determines everything at this time.

However, something not very good happened during this period, that is, when Zhao Chen was signing the sale, Yulang International Co., Ltd. acquired "Fresh Weekly" a few days ago and began to promote Huang Yulang's new comic "Drunk Fist"!

"Qingxin Weekly" is a comic weekly magazine in Xiangjiang that is a bit old. Before being acquired by Huang Yulang, it basically sold about 20,000 yuan per issue, and it is a medium-sized ranks among all comic weekly magazines in Xiangjiang.

As for "Drunk Fist", it is a famous long-form costume martial arts comic in Hong Kong in the future, and its momentum is no less than "Chinese Heroes". The creation of "Drunk Fist" was inspired by the movie "Drunk Fist" starring Cheng Long in 1978. Huang Yulang intends to use the momentum of the movie to promote the comic "Drunk Fist".

"Fresh Weekly" and "Tianxia Weekly" are released on Wednesdays every week. From this, we can see that Huang Yulang's thoughts are nothing more than using "Drunk Fist" to suppress Tianxia Comics Company, because the threat to him by Zhao Chen and Shangguan Xiaobao can be said to be quite threatening, and he wants to take advantage of the fact that Tianxia Comics Company has gained a foothold before it has stabilized.

"So what about "Drunk Fist"! Cheng Long's contribution to such a high sales in later generations can be said to be a great achievement. In terms of plot and painting, "Chinese Heroes" is even better than "Drunk Fist"!"

When Zhao Chen heard the news, he was very surprised, but his face was full of sneer. Although the name of "Drunk Fist" is big, since Huang Yulang himself is still focusing on "Drunk Fist", there is not much energy to spend on "Drunk Fist". For Huang Yulang himself, "Drunk Fist" is the most important thing. Not only that, the release of "Drunk Fist" was also one year ahead of schedule, but this will undoubtedly affect the quality of "Drunk Fist". After all, Huang Yulang is not Zhao Chen.

What made Zhao Chen most speechless was the headline in Oriental Daily, which read "The legendary cartoonist Shangguan Xiaobao and the well-known cartoonist Zhao Chen betrayed the Shenghuo Publishing House at the same time"!

Zhao Chen read the news in the Oriental Daily and turned his face into mockery. Although what the Oriental Daily said was a fact, many places were random speculations, such as Zhao Chen betrayed the Holy Fire Publishing House with the "Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty". Not only that, the whole report vaguely slandered Shangguan Xiaobao and Zhao Chen's reputation. Finally, this report also promoted Huang Yulang's upcoming comic "Drunk Fist", with praise in his words, hoping that readers can take a look.

"The Oriental Daily will report this way, and it is likely that it has received the benefits of Huang Yulang!"

This kind of thing will naturally not be groundless. After all, Zhao Chen has had some time to leave the Holy Fire Publishing House, but he was on the newspaper at this time and was still on the front page! Moreover, this report was published at this critical moment. Thinking of Huang Yulang's actions, Zhao Chen would not know that this was a conspiracy against Tianxia Comics Company. While trying to crack down on his reputation and Shangguan Xiaobao, he tried his best to suppress the upcoming "Tianxia Weekly"!

"Since that's the case, I can't blame me!"

When Zhao Chen thought of the Oriental Daily's reputation as a slander for himself and Shangguan Xiaobao, he secretly hated him and thought about how to retaliate against Oriental Daily and Yulang International Co., Ltd.

In fact, since the series of "The Legend of the Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" in the "Ming Pao Supplement", the sales of "Ming Pao" have been rising steadily, but the newspaper market in Xiangjiang is so big. While the sales of "Ming Pao" have increased, other newspapers are undoubtedly the targets of being hit. Among them, the main competitor "Oriental Daily" was naturally the worst hit, because "Oriental Daily" is similar in nature and type to "Ming Pao". However, under the hot pressure of "The Legend of the Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", the novels serialized in "Oriental Daily" were completely suppressed. Even if Ni Fu's science fiction novels are high, they have not stopped the decline, and their sales are now less than 100,000.

Ni Fu was quite depressed during this period because he felt a sense of anger since he had an argument with Zhao Chen last time. When Oriental Daily came to ask for something, Ni Fu agreed to the Oriental Daily's request without any worries this time. In addition to the more generous remuneration of Oriental Daily, he also wanted to use the newly completed science fiction novels to suppress Zhao Chen's arrogance.

But in addition to letting the Oriental Daily stop the decline, Zhao Chen's "The Legend of the Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" is still unparalleled for a while and seems to have not been affected at all. This makes Ni Fu extremely unbalanced, and the gap between the two sides is too big.

But when I saw the headlines published by Oriental Daily, I couldn't help but write a comment, just to add another fire to Zhao Chen.

But the next day, the headlines on Ming Pao immediately made Ni Fu feel that something was wrong, and he had to knead the hard-working comments into a ball and threw them into the trash can. If his comments were really published on the newspaper, it would undoubtedly be a slap in the face, because Ming Pao mentioned him on the headlines.

"Yulang International Co., Ltd. has no eyes!"——"Ming Pao"

Huang Yulang wanted to mess with Zhao Chen and Shangguan Xiaobao, but they were not the ones they would just knead, especially since they had an important information in their hands, which was enough for Huang Yulang to have a headache.

Every reader who sees the headlines of Ming Pao did not expect the twists and turns of Zhao Chen's submission to "The Legend of the Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty". They all know the popularity of "The Legend of the Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", but such a classic comic was rejected by Lin Shan, the editor-in-chief of Yulang International Co., Ltd., and instead gave the Shenghuo Publishing House aside. How negligent is this to be so!

At the same time, Ni Fu also mentioned Ni Fu in this report, listing the differences between Ni Fu and Zhao Chen, which are both capable of remembering each other, and citing the similarities and differences between the two. It is because of this that Ni Fu abandoned the comments he had finally written, because he knew that if this comment appeared at this time, his reputation would be damaged while slandering Zhao Chen, which was quite worthless in his opinion.

Also on this day, the "Good News", "East Daily" and "Serial Picture Daily" of the Holy Fire Publishing House were also refuting the rumors for Zhao Chen. Although the Holy Fire Publishing House was very unhappy, "The Legend of the Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" was the biggest signboard of the Holy Fire Publishing House now. If Zhao Chen did not defend Zhao Chen, he would be completely offended Zhao Chen. If Zhao Chen made the "The Legend of the Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" cut in half, the biggest loss would undoubtedly be the Holy Fire Publishing House.

The above also defended Shangguan Xiaobao. After all, the remaining two shareholders of Shenghuo Publishing House have a deep friendship with Shangguan Xiaobao no matter what.

It is precisely because of this that after the newspapers of the Holy Fire Publishing House refuted the rumors for Zhao Chen and Shangguan Xiaobao, the rest of the newspapers in Xiangjiang suddenly turned into the limelight and satirized Yulang International Co., Ltd. Among them, "Oriental Daily" was even ridiculed by newspapers led by "Ming Pao", believing that "Oriental Daily" was deceiving readers. Therefore, the trick of "Oriental Daily" was not only not achieved, but its sales volume finally began to decline again.

The newspaper public opinion in the past two days is quite beneficial to Zhao Chen. It not only preserved his reputation and Shangguan Xiaobao, but also made Tianxia Comics Company and "Tianxia Weekly" famous!
