Chapter 244: Pushing the Limits
Don't think too much for now.
When the enemy comes, the general will fight; when the water comes, the earth will cover it.
After having dinner and parting with his second uncle, Luoyang returned to the apartment.
He still prefers to be in the apartment rather than the studio, although no one disturbs him in the studio either.
Entering the study, Luoyang continued to write "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng". He planned to write the first part of "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng", "The Golden Peng Dynasty", which he wrote halfway last night, today.
Time kept passing.
When he finished writing the first part of "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng", "The Golden Peng Dynasty", it was already nine o'clock in the evening.
Luoyang was too lazy to go downstairs to eat, so he went into the kitchen and cooked some noodles and ate them. It was delicious.
After dinner, Luoyang continued to write the rest of the story of "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" -
The original version of this story has a total of seven parts, namely "The Golden Peng Dynasty", "The Embroidered Thief", "Before and After the Decisive Battle", "The Silver Hook Gambling House", "The Ghost Manor", "The Phoenix Dances in the Nine Heavens" and "The Smile of the Sword God".
The TV series version of the previous life also added three plots, namely "The Prequel of Lu Xiaofeng", "The Legend of Iron Shoes" and "The Mystery of Blood Robe".
After comparison, Luoyang found that the three times of the TV series version was undoubtedly inferior to the seven parts of the original work in terms of the exciting plot, so he abandoned it and preferred to choose only the seven parts of the original version.
At present, he has only completed one "Golden Peng Dynasty".
The remaining six parts also have a lot of words, and there is really a long way to go.
So in the next few days, Luoyang was focused and kept writing "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng".
This is much more difficult than writing "Seven Weapons" at the beginning, because "Seven Weapons" is short, with only a few words in total.
After the seven chapters of "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng", after Luoyang's careful revision, there must be at least 700,000 words, which is why Luoyang calls "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" a novel.
But just a week later, when Luoyang's "Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" was in full swing...
A piece of news, like a depth charge, resounded throughout the cultural world, and instantly blew up countless diving fish!
Times Classics officially announced that martial arts novels were included in the Times Classics selection project, and a martial arts master award was specially established for it!
This news was directly published on the front page of major newspapers across the country. For a while, everyone knew about it and was talking about it everywhere!
"Martial arts are rising again!"
"Times Classics has added a new award!"
"Martial arts novels are completely included in the cultural map of Longguo!"
"Breaking tradition, Times Classics has a new award: Martial Arts Master Award!"
"Times Classics Martial Arts Master Award is freshly released, and the literary and art circles are completely shocked!"
The industry is talking about it, and even the online literary world has countless authors discussing this matter.
Turn on the TV, even the news broadcast repeatedly mentions this news. There is no other reason, it is really that the Times Classics selection organization is too authoritative, and the first award in the cultural circle of Longguo is not a joke.
And it is definitely a historic event that a martial arts novel can be selected by Time Classics!
So...
When Time Classics decided to launch the Martial Arts Master Award, the depth bomb began to work, and martial arts masters all came out!
As if it was pre-arranged, news about martial arts masters broke out one after another at this moment, making people dizzy, and those names that were once glorious also appeared in the news one after another.
"The former sales champion and martial arts master Jiangshan announced that he will release a new work "Daqin Ranger" in the form of serialization, aiming for the Grandmaster Award!"
"The martial arts master Shengsi Zhenjun has spent five years of hard work, and the martial arts masterpiece "Dragon Blade" is about to be serialized. Please look forward to it!"
"Luzhou Weird Uncle has added a new work, the evil martial arts "Chef God" is about to be serialized, which is said to be another revolution in martial arts novels."
"The martial arts novel sales champion in 2001 and 2004, the martial arts master Yao Chongjing released two works in a row, "Death Blade" and "Soul Chaser" were born!"
...
Masters are as numerous as dogs!
When seeing these news, Luoyang subconsciously sighed.
There are really as many masters as dogs. Speaking of it, there are only fifty masters in Longguo, and this is when I am included.
After the news that the Times Classics confirmed the launch of the Martial Arts Master Award, 40 of the 50 martial arts masters in Longguo have announced their appearance, excluding those who have passed away or stopped writing!
It seems that Longguo has returned to the peak period of the development of martial arts novels overnight -
The Martial Arts Master Award of the Times Classics has created the momentum of the 72 princes competing for the world!
Among the martial arts masters who announced their appearance, there are even several who have won the sales champion of Longguo.
For example, Jiangshan, in the heyday of martial arts novels, was the existence of winning the sales champion three times in a row, and he was also one of the top ones among the 50 martial arts masters.
For example, Yao Chongjing, this is also a famous master who has won the annual sales champion twice. The most important thing is that when he won the championship and became a martial arts master, he was only 26 years old.
If there was no Luoyang, Yao Chongjing would be the youngest martial arts master who deserved it.
In addition, if we really talk about the signboard, Yao Chongjing's two annual sales champions are undoubtedly louder than Luoyang.
Not to mention the Lord of Life and Death, who had crossed paths with Luoyang before, and the strange uncle from Luzhou, who were also ready to go...
But what’s interesting is that all these famous artists have announced news about their new work, but none of them has announced which platform it will be released on – which is a bit intriguing.
Luoyang guessed the reason just by looking at it.
This time so many martial arts masters have come out together, I'm afraid all the major platforms have caught wind of it.
In particular, martial arts magazines and newspapers should be gearing up to select suitable celebrities to expand their territory.
Sometimes, fame and wealth are more attractive than money. For famous martial arts masters, the martial arts master award is undoubtedly more important than the royalties. Otherwise, they would not have been dormant for so long.
This also means that "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" will encounter considerable challenges.
After all, so many martial arts masters collectively publish books, and all of them are serialized, so they will naturally face competition.
However, Luoyang is not afraid of such competition. In the past, in the battlefield of short and medium martial arts, "Martial Arts" invited four famous masters to join forces, but they could not make him retreat, let alone the current chaos of dozens of famous masters.
Just when Luoyang was preparing to continue writing "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng"...
His cell phone rang suddenly, and an unfamiliar number was displayed on the phone.
Luoyang answered the phone: "Hello."
"Hello, is this Mr. Luo? I'm Yang Qing, the editor-in-chief of "Xia Ke Jiang Hu". Didn't we talk a few days ago? Your assistant gave me this number." A woman's voice sounded on the other end of the phone .
Luoyang hummed: "Excuse me, Chief Editor Yang, what can I do?"
Outsiders usually just contact Hua Qi if they have something to do. Unless there are some things that Hua Qi cannot decide, Luoyang will solve them personally.
Yang Qing said angrily: "That's right. Teacher Luo must have also seen the launch of the Martial Arts Master Award by Times Classics, because such martial arts masters have come out one after another, and our "Xia Ke Jiang Hu" has always occupied a dominant position in the industry, so not Young martial arts masters are ready to cooperate with us, including Yao Zhongjing and Life and Death Zhenjun, several seniors in the industry."
"Then what?"
Luoyang frowned, wondering what this had to do with him.
"Hey, Mr. Luo, you don't know something. We at "Xia Ke Jiang Hu" have always loved talents and maintained respect for martial arts masters, so the cooperation with martial arts masters is naturally desired. However, because there are too many masters, we need to pay The high royalties have put the company in a tight spot, so I would like to discuss with Teacher Luo and set your price to nine thousand words per thousand words, after all..."
"Editor Yang." Luoyang interrupted the other party rudely.
His eyes narrowed, and there was a hint of coldness in his voice: "The last time I backed down, I wanted to make a good relationship with my second uncle, and we also had a basis for cooperation. You must know this in your heart, It would be nice if everyone didn’t point it out, but I think..."
"This shouldn't be the reason why you guys in "Xia Ke Jiang Hu" are pushing the envelope, right?"
