Chapter 759 Return to the Serialization Plan
The industry couldn't help but feel shocked!
After all, not everyone can achieve a phenomenal masterpiece in a year. Although "The Return of the Condor Heroes" took ten days to achieve a phenomenal achievement of sales exceeding 100 million due to the impact of the Dragon Girl Gate incident, it does not seem as domineering as the performance of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", but it is stable enough in the later period.
Although "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" only took three days to achieve sales exceeding 100 million, the sales volume actually fell all the way after three days, so it is really hard to say which of the two phenomenal performances is stronger.
Anyway, we are of the same origin, so why are we so anxious to fight each other?
Naturally, major media also reported the news that Luoyang achieved his third phenomenal work.
Because when Luoyang achieved his third phenomenal work, it also meant that few people in the entire Dragon Country could compete with him in terms of sales, and the title of national writer inadvertently became more shining.
Luoyang himself did not feel much about the media's praise.
He has heard enough praise and slander along the way, and these things hardly cause any fluctuations in his heart. On the contrary, the fans and book lovers in Luoyang are very happy with the praise from the media and show their pride.
"Luo Da has become a banner for writers in Longguo."
"There are only one or two young people who can barely be compared with Luo Da, right?"
"Yes, one person has three phenomenal masterpieces. How many people have achieved such an achievement in our Longguo literary world!?"
"The originator of romance, Mr. Lu Bing, has five phenomenal works. He is the best-selling writer in the history of our Longguo. The second is Han Ming, the vice chairman of the Longguo Writers Association, who is known as the modern Tang Bohu. He also has four phenomenal works, all of which are collections of short stories."
"Luo Da has been on par with these two predecessors."
"Dongfang Yu and Mi Hu also have two phenomenal masterpieces each. Mi Hu is a disciple taught by Mr. Lu Bing. It is obviously more difficult for Luo Da to write three phenomenal works from scratch."
Phenomenal works require quality as well as the right time, place and people.
Many writers will become guests of honor of all domestic publishing houses as long as they write a best-selling work, not to mention writing a phenomenal work. This is the object of competition among major publishing houses across the country. However, most phenomenal writers have fixed partners in the industry. If you want to gain the recognition of these writers, the benefits you have to pay are naturally huge...
Luoyang didn't pay attention to the comments on Weibo.
During his work today, he was browsing martial arts-related forums. There were a lot of book reviews about "The Return of the Condor Heroes" in these forums. Luoyang would click on the reviews with more replies to take a look. But just when he was about to get off work today, Xiang Tao came to the office.
"Boss, can you do me a small favor?"
"What do you mean by small favor?"
Xiang Tao smiled and said, "Isn't your "The Return of the Condor Heroes" very popular recently? So our editorial department discussed writing a special chapter about the characters of the Condor Heroes in "Jianghu" magazine. It can be said that those who are close to the water get the moon first."
Luoyang asked, "Whose special chapter?"
Xiang Tao said, "The Little East Evil Guo Xiang!"
Luoyang was slightly enlightened. He recently read the book reviews about "The Return of the Condor Heroes" on the Internet. Most of them were about Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu, but there was also a supporting role, who was as popular as the protagonist. This role was Guo Xiang——
Guo Xiang was undoubtedly a girl with thousands of advantages.
She has the unconventionality of Huang Yaoshi, the kindness of Guo Jing, and the unparalleled wisdom of Huang Rong. The girl who secretly loves Yang Guo and jumps with him in the Unrequited Valley almost overshadows the glory of all previous love descriptions. Therefore, even Jin Yong himself said in an interview: "Guo Xiang is my favorite character."
But this character that the author prefers is destined not to be loved by him.
Because she is a girl who knows how to endure and fulfill, she can only silently bless Brother Yang and Sister Long from afar.
Even though she was heartbroken, she had no regrets. At that time, the moon was in the sky, the breeze blew the leaves, and the crows on the treetops cried. Guo Xiang's tears burst out of her eyes. From then on, those nights when the cold rain knocked on the window, those mornings and evenings when the autumn wind and rain worried people, and those rough and wandering years, a beautiful woman withered her prime, but fulfilled a heart-wrenching perfect love.
"You are quite good at choosing."
Recovering from his trance, Luoyang said with a hint of meaning.
Xiang Tao smiled: "Of course, if you observe carefully, you will find that the popularity of Guo Xiang is unexpectedly high!"
With the spread of the Condor Heroes, the characters in this novel have become more three-dimensional and deeply rooted in people's hearts. Among them, Yang Guo, Xiaolongnu, Lu Wushuang, Cheng Ying and other popular characters have established special forums. Guo Xiang is naturally no exception, and she is very popular, so Xiang Tao wants Luoyang, the original author, to write a Guo Xiang extra chapter, which will definitely stimulate the sales of "Jianghu".
After thinking for a while, Luoyang shook his head and said, "Not for the time being."
Xiang Tao was stunned, and then asked, "Is there a problem?"
Luoyang nodded: "Because Guo Xiang is too important, she is related to my next book, and writing an extra chapter is equivalent to spoiling the plot with readers in advance, so you might as well change a character for me to write an extra chapter."
"Guo Xiang, related to the next book?"
Xiang Tao widened his eyes, "Boss, don't tell me that the heroine of the next book is her?"
Luoyang shook his head: "Of course not, Guo Xiang loves Yang Guo, so no one can enter her heart again, but the next book will start with her. In addition, when the next story begins, Zhang Junbao, who was still young at the end of The Condor Heroes, has become the white-haired old man Zhang Sanfeng."
"So, is it related to The Condor Heroes?"
"Of course, the fate of the main characters of The Condor Heroes will also be explained in the next book."
Xiang Tao nodded, and suddenly smiled: "I am looking forward to it more and more, but boss, since you are talking about the next book, have you ever considered returning to serialization? It always feels wrong to have you serialized in Jianghu magazine."
Luoyang smiled and said: "You are thinking too far, right?"
It has only been a short time since The Condor Heroes ended, and Luoyang definitely has no time to write a new book, but Xiang Tao's suggestion is a bit interesting.
"I will definitely not write a new martial arts book this year, but when I start writing the next martial arts book, I will serialize it in Jianghu. Some books do look very interesting when they are serialized. It is better to publish them after the serialization is completed."
