Chapter 816: Not Doing Your Job

May is long overdue.

On the small side, the popularity of "The Legend of Wukong" has gradually dissipated.

However, the news of Qing Shi Zhan Jian's return has also been known to many fans through the spread of "The Legend of Wukong" these days.

For a writer, what determines the success of every turn you write is always the charm of your works. If what Qing Shi Zhan Sword created when he returned was not a classic like "The Legend of Wukong", but just an ordinary work, then There is definitely no way to return to the peak of popularity...

The words are divided into two parts.

Liu Qin also left Tiandu.

After all, she is from the entertainment industry, and the nature of her work is different from that in Luoyang.

Liu Qin suddenly left, and Luoyang was still a little unaccustomed to it. He continued to throw himself into the study to update "Infinity". The difficulty of Kawen last time had been overcome, and the next plot was very smooth. There was no problem in writing 10,000 words a day.

Also worth mentioning is...

Teacher Theking successfully resurrected Sherlock Holmes!

According to Western media reports, with the global publication of "The Empty House", subscriptions to major Western magazines such as "Aurora Brain" have once again remained high, and there are still countless readers willing to pay for "The Sherlock Holmes".

"The foreshadowing of the resurrection is well laid."

"It must have been planned in advance. This method of resurrection is not rigid."

"I just said that Mr. Theking is not so unreasonable that he wants to kill our dearest Sherlock Holmes."

Western readers are extremely satisfied with this, and Eastern readers are no exception. When Sherlock Holmes died, "Jianghu" magazine also suffered a big impact. Although Eastern readers did not react as exaggeratedly as Western readers, they still had some feelings in their hearts. Fire.

Now that Sherlock Holmes has been resurrected, "Jianghu" magazine has naturally become popular again!

This is something that makes other publishers in the Dragon Kingdom extremely jealous. Why did Theking hand over the Dragon Kingdom copyright of "Sherlock Holmes" to Mizuki Culture?

The one who is most angry about this is Youlong Culture. Recently, Youlong Culture has not made any big moves in the book market. They are concentrating on developing a magazine called "Youlong". This magazine has been in existence for nearly a year, but because there is no "Youlong" Supported by phenomenal works such as Sherlock Holmes, the magazine's sales have always been tepid. Although it is not losing money, it is still far from being profitable. Therefore, Youlong Culture is extremely jealous of Shuimu Culture for having the giant Buddha of Sherlock Holmes.

“We also need masterpieces to lay the foundation for the magazine!”

In the office of Youlong Culture, Yin Bole said through gritted teeth.

In fact, Yin Bole is already very capable in bringing a fledgling magazine to its current scale. However, Yin Bole has great ambitions. What he wants is to make "Youlong" surpass "Jianghu" and become one of the best in the Dragon Kingdom. Super best selling magazine.

"How about asking Chairman Han to take action?"

Ye Hongli spoke with hesitation in his tone.

Yin Bole shook his head and said: "It's not necessary yet. Although "Sherlock Holmes" is very popular in the West, its domestic performance has been compromised after all, so it is not as terrible as imagined."

"What should we do?"

"I'm still figuring it out."

Youlong Culture has never relaxed its tracking of Shuimu Culture. For people like Yin Bole and Ye Hongli, finding an evenly matched opponent is a great thing that can promote the development of the company. They enjoy the pleasure of competing with their peers. .

———————————

A week passed leisurely.

Luoyang resumed work and commuted between Shuimu Culture and the apartment every day.

On the afternoon of May 7th, when Luoyang was about to get off work, Xiang Tao appeared in Luoyang's office: "Boss, since Sherlock Holmes was resurrected in "The Empty House", the sales volume of the magazine has increased slightly! "

Luoyang smiled and said: "This is not difficult to understand."

On the one hand, Theking was listed on the list of the 100 most influential people in the world some time ago.

On the one hand, the death of Sherlock Holmes triggered demonstrations among Western readers. Many readers who were originally not interested in "The Detectives of Sherlock Holmes" became interested in reading after seeing the sensation caused by this book.

Xiang Tao also laughed, "It's similar to disguised hype. I even suspect that this is Theking's deliberate hype."

Luoyang glanced at Xiang Tao in surprise, because Xiang Tao had already guessed it almost exactly. When he wrote "The Last Case", he certainly knew that Holmes' death would cause a disturbance, but he still wrote it like that, even though it was out of bad taste. , but it is essentially no different from hype.

However, Luoyang still couldn't help but want to laugh when he thought of Xiang Tao's angry look when he just finished watching "The Last Case".

Xiang Tao saw Luo Yang's expression was different, and he was obviously thinking of his reaction after watching "The Last Case" before. He coughed lightly and said: "The Sherlock Holmes incident has passed. I came here to ask the boss what you have done before." How long will it take for the new martial arts book to be written?”

Luoyang thought for a while, "It should be soon..."

Xiang Tao looked a little anxious: "When is it exactly?"

"The TV series "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" will be aired next month or so. I will start writing a new martial arts book after the TV series is finished, so you don't have to worry. No matter how busy you are, I can still do one martial arts work a year. ”

"Okay, as soon as possible, don't forget."

Xiang Tao could only urge Luoyang verbally, because Luoyang was his boss.

Luoyang nodded: "Don't rush to promote it yet, otherwise if something happens and it gets delayed, I will be standing up the readers. You should know better than me that plans can't keep up with changes."

"Boss, do you have anything else to do?"

"Yes, I have a program with Xiao Yan and we are preparing it."

"The Voice of Dragon Country? Are you preparing for the second season so early?"

Xiang Tao obviously also knew about the Voice of Dragon Country, a program that Luoyang and Xiao Yan collaborated on. This program is now very popular. It is said that even foreign countries such as South Korea and the United States have begun to inquire about copyright issues and are optimistic about the value of The Voice of Dragon Country.

"It's not 'The Voice of Dragon Country'."

"Pfft, there are other programs besides this?"

"Well, the new program is called 'Running Man', you can pay attention to it, it can contribute to the ratings when it is broadcast."

Xiang Tao's face was full of black lines, and he turned around to leave, but when he walked to the door of the office, he suddenly stopped and turned around and said: "In my opinion, how can you be so idle as to not write a good book, but plan some entertainment program..."
