Chapter 407 Lone Shadow Wuhen
Chapter 407: Gu Ying Wuhen
And Xue Mu didn't rest that night either. He worked overtime writing "Water Margin".
Xue Mu's "works" are few, just because he has many things to do. Once he starts writing, the work is always very fast, because he has a beauty studio. As long as he makes a detailed outline and gives each of the girls to write a few chapters, the first draft will be out in two days, and then he will proofread it. Polishing naturally saves time and effort.
As the guards who have operated two large books are now more experienced and skilled, a lot of the work that originally required Xue Mu to proofread the writing style has been omitted. All that needs to be done is to fill in the details and private goods to enrich the flesh and blood.
Of course, a gun draft is a gun draft, and the quality is really mediocre, losing a lot of the charm of the original work. Even if Xue Mu filled in the details himself, he couldn't do it because he couldn't remember many details of the original work and could only use it according to his own understanding. Fortunately, Xue Mu himself is really good in this aspect, and his performance will not embarrass the original work too much. In short, no matter how much it is worse than the original work, in this world, it is still a wonderful story and a crushing level of expression that are top-notch in the world.
Civilization and martial arts have different paths. The cultural gap between the two worlds has not been narrowed yet, and the literati of this world still have a long way to go.
Meng Lan stood aside, watching silently as he lowered his head and read the manuscript. The Shidai pen has basically replaced the writing brush in the sect. She no longer needs to be a little maid grinding ink aside, and the red sleeves are more fragrant... Meng Lan clearly knows that this is a good thing that is conducive to efficiency, but she still feels a little disappointed in her heart. .
"Why are you sighing?" Xue Mu seemed to have heard her sigh, and without raising his head, he chuckled: "If you really need to polish your ink, it's not our turn to do it now, the master of Qinge Hall, Fairy Qin."
Meng Lan whispered: "Meng Lan will always be the young master's little maid."
Zhuo Qingqing pouted on one side. There were still outsiders here, but this girl still didn't show any shame. I really don't know if people watching Fairy Qin's behavior will destroy their outlook on life.
Xue Mu asked while writing: "How is the progress of Qianshan Muxue album?"
"Since the recording of the premiere in Lingzhou, it took more than a month to produce more than 100,000 copies. Compared with the early days, our supply capacity is much stronger, but compared with the popularity of Qianshan Muxue Group, it is still insufficient. . There is a huge demand in Lingzhou and Jianzhou in the capital, so we think we need to at least double the base." Meng Lan said: "Maybe we need to expand the production workshop?"
On the surface, they are cooperating and sharing with the Hehuan Sect, but in fact, the Xingyue Sect also occupies a terrifying majority of the album sales. The Hehuan Sect is helpless. They don't even have the Xingwang Stone, so they can't imitate it.
"The workshop should take its time. I think the current production capacity is quite good." Xue Mu stopped writing for a while and said with a smile: "One hundred thousand copies is quite a lot as a starting quantity. Don't be too hasty, one batch at a time." Come in batch."
"Yes." Meng Lan paused and then hesitated: "Also, Meng Lan has always been a little guilty... After all, the album lacks dance, only songs, and the effect is much worse. Isn't it bad?"
"It's okay. As a song, there are naturally people who listen to it, and..." Xue Mu paused and smiled mysteriously: "In many cases, fans are willing to buy and listen to it repeatedly, not because of the quality at all, but just for you."
Meng Lan and Zhuo Qingqing also looked a little strange. If Xue Mu said this to guys like Yingyi, they would probably not understand it very well, but the demon girls really understood it after hearing this. In fact, it's similar to how witches deceive people in the arena... This one is pretty good, and there's still something real to give you, and it's much better than the witches who just wink and say nothing.
I always feel that Young Master’s approach is to change what the witches were already doing without changing the substance, and create a beautiful package that gives people a completely different look and feel.
"In addition, since Lingzhou Daily has become popular, we need to take advantage of it. Let's promote the advertisement for Qianxue's album for three days first." Xue Mu said: "Let An Sifang be sure, we will not sell advertising space to the outside world for the time being. , to avoid chaos. We can leave some space for Zhang Bailing... He will want to use it, so you go and deal with him about this matter. "
Meng Lan understood: "Young Master is really..."
There was an outsider sitting quietly in the guest seat, listening to the conversation between Xue Mu and Meng Lan, and he was very confused.
It was the woman Wuhendao, who was here waiting to pick up the manuscript.
Xue Mu now also knows that her name is Ye Guying. She is the only female initiate in Wuhen Dao. She has about five or six people in Wuhen Dao and is a very influential high-level person. She is not very old, she seems to be slightly younger than Xue Mu, but she has been engaged in eavesdropping and assassination since she was eight years old... It can basically be said that she has been hiding in the shadows her whole life, not to mention that she is completely different from Xue Mu. Even the people of this world don't have much in common with the witches.
What the witches can understand, it is difficult for her to understand. The differences between the two sides are quite big, and their words are so weird that it is incomprehensible. The album is a new word this year, and she is still not used to it. Even if she has heard it at least, who are the fans? Isn’t it a type of food? What the hell is advertising?
We are all demons, how come there are so many unintelligible slang words...
If there was anything in common, it was the cooperation between Xue Mu and Wuhendao, which made her clearly feel that the sect's life in the past year was better than what she had seen in more than 20 years of life.
Mainly reflected in the fact that the operation of the sect no longer relies entirely on assassinations and intelligence services. The Fengbo Tower, which originally existed only as a mission receiving point on the ground, has made almost one-third of the total business revenue this year. With this confidence, the killer business is no longer necessary for the operation of the sect for Wuhendao. It can be a leisurely hobby...
There is no need to accept some obviously dangerous missions just to survive, and when encountering danger during the mission, there is no need to sacrifice one's life in order to maintain the so-called 100% completion rate. Now Wuhen Dao has begun to consider abolishing some very unsavory missions. It is a sect rule of human nature, and all the sect members are very happy about it.
Ye Guying knew that change began with Xue Mu.
Wuhendao's relationship with Xingyue Sect is getting closer and closer now, and it is not without reason that Yingyi would consider his safety and take the initiative to send people to protect him.
Xue Mu put down the last stroke, checked it a little, raised his head and said to her: "The manuscript of the first five chapters is ready. Take it back to Fengbo Tower, and you can choose a day to start the lecture."
Ye Guying stood up and bowed respectfully: "Thank you again, leader."
This respect is indeed sincere. The top killer of Wuhen Dao will never salute because of who has the title of alliance leader.
"This cooperation is originally a long-term mutual benefit between you and me. What can I say thank you for?" Xue Mu handed her the manuscript, leaned on the chair and said leisurely: "You Wuhendao accepted the protection mission, right? Go to Jianzhou for protection. Am I not a special case?"
Ye Guying replied: "We in Wuhen Dao are engaged in assassination. Naturally, we are often hired to do some anti-assassination protection work. It is not a special case. Of course, it is a bit special to go to Jianzhou because there is no charge, but allies help each other. This It is very rare for this sect.”
Xue Mu said: "Then I will hire you for a while and pay according to the price. Is that okay?"
This proposal sounds very normal, but Ye Guying somehow, maybe out of strong intuition? It always felt like Xue Mu was harboring deep malice at that moment...
She hesitated for a moment: "The Xingyue Sect has so many powerful people, why does the leader need to hire others?"
"You know this is different. How can Xingyue Sect replace your Wuhen Dao's use?" Xue Mu said: "I know that you have a powerful position in Wuhen Dao, and you have sect affairs to deal with, so you can't protect anyone for a long time. Let's do this, If I want to go out, I’ll hire you temporarily according to Wuhendao’s price rules, is that okay?”
Ye Guying could only nod: "Okay."
The particularity of each family's approach is clearly reflected here. Under normal circumstances, those who have reached their level of cultivation and are high-ranking members of the sect should be proud of themselves. I can protect you as an ally, but it would be a bit insulting to say that I am employed. But in the eyes of Wuhendao, it's the opposite. Protection of allies is a special case, and hiring for a fee is a matter of course.
Anyway, no matter how hard you think about it, you don't think it is necessary for the alliance leader to harm her. The malicious intention is probably an illusion. Ye Guying didn't pay much attention. Listening to the conversation between Xue Mu and Qin Xianzi just now, they had a lot of things to do, and they didn't know when they were going to go out.
At this time, no one, including Xue Mu, could have imagined that this employment would happen so quickly. Even before dawn, the life that had been peaceful for just a few days suddenly became turbulent because of the magic star that entered the palace and lit the fuse.
