Chapter 824: Missing You Across the World
Twelve days passed in a flash.
On June 25, the TV series "The Return of the Condor Heroes" ushered in the finale.
In the finale, Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu decided to live in seclusion in an ancient tomb and disappeared from the world. The TV series' ratings once reached 7%, almost the highest in China.
The grand "Dragon-Guo Love" ended, and just when countless viewers were disappointed with the finale of the Condor Heroes, Shuimu Culture's official website suddenly released a new book preview: [Luoyang's new book, "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" of the Condor Heroes trilogy, will be officially serialized in the first issue of "Jianghu" magazine next month! 】
Luoyang Weibo responded: "Return to "Jianghu" serialization, yes?"
The front row comments were almost all "yes, yes, yes", and all fans were inexplicably excited--
"So this is Luo Da's killer move. If it goes as expected, I'm afraid that this new book called "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" will continue the plot of "The Return of the Condor Heroes". This Condor Heroes trilogy will become the most magnificent series of Dragon Country martial arts!"
"It's sunny today, do you want such a big surprise?"
"Since Luo Da stopped serializing, I haven't bought "Ta Jianghu" magazine for a long time. Oh, by the way, it is said that the magazine has been revamped and is called "Jianghu". In short, as long as Luo Da is willing to return to serialization, I will naturally buy this magazine every month!"
" Before, The Legend of the Condor Heroes, now they are going to start slaying dragons? "
"The above is so funny. Although Luo Da is good at online literature and martial arts, he can tell the essential difference between the two, so there is no need to worry about the plot where the protagonist takes a machete to slay the dragon. Besides, this is the Legend of the Condor Heroes trilogy, which belongs to the same series as The Legend of the Condor Heroes and The Return of the Condor Heroes, so how can it be bad?"
"Luo Da is now publishing a martial arts novel a year. I finally waited for you!"
"Speaking of which, I only admire Luo Da for being able to make readers climax collectively by revealing the title of the book, but following the serialization is really a very tiring thing, especially following Luo Da's serialization, which is really tiring, but I am still happy with it, and it is also my own fault."
"It is not an exaggeration to describe the readers' reaction as a collective climax.
Some impatient netizens have even made a countdown for Luo Yang's new book serialization.
After the news was exposed, the five words "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" occupied the hot search section of major public platforms at lightning speed, and the entire industry also subconsciously paid attention to it, including major investors who were eager to get the copyright of Luoyang's new work. It can be said that "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" has become popular before it was officially released.
"The reservation of "Jianghu" magazine exceeded twice the usual!"
"Many investment companies contacted our Shuimu's external relations department and wanted to invest in the boss's new book."
"Some other major entertainment companies in the industry are also recommending actors to us, wanting to participate in the production of the TV series "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" in advance."
At the morning meeting of Shuimu Culture two days later, the speeches of senior executives came one after another. After everyone finished speaking, Luoyang, who was sitting in the chief seat, smiled and said: "The olive branches of investment companies have been rejected. We will continue to cooperate with Star Media. Entertainment companies can keep in touch. We can appropriately appoint the actors they recommend, especially female characters."
"Are there more female characters in the new book?"
Midsummer Night looked at Luoyang to find out what Luoyang said.
Xiang Tao asked more directly: "Boss, is "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" going to have a harem?"
Luoyang laughed and said: "Of course not, it's just that the protagonist of this book will have many confidantes, and each of them is unique, so we need some female characters to participate, and Liu Qin and Li Tianyin will not join, we have to find new faces."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Although opening a harem can attract some readers...
But this is always contrary to mainstream values. As a national writer, if Luoyang writes some harem-like plots in martial arts novels, I am afraid that some critics will not be able to hold back and jump out. After all, there are many people in the Dragon Kingdom who are unhappy with Luoyang.
Of course, Luoyang is not afraid of this situation.
When Mr. Jin Yong wrote "The Deer and the Cauldron", Wei Xiaobao had seven wives and nothing happened. What should I worry about?
It is just because of the historical deviation that Luoyang did not intend to write "The Deer and the Cauldron". Although "The Deer and the Cauldron" is highly praised in a certain sense, and even praised by Ni Kuang as Jin Yong's most outstanding work, Luoyang has objections to this -
It is not that "The Deer and the Cauldron" is not good.
In fact, Luoyang also likes this novel very much.
It is just that "The Deer and the Cauldron" is no longer in the category of martial arts novels. It is an anti-martial arts novel that satirizes martial arts.
It can be said that the chivalrous characters written by Jin Yong before were all blackened from beginning to end in "The Deer and the Cauldron". The heroes are full of benevolence and morality, but in the end they are no match for the ruffians and scoundrels. From this perspective, the strength of its satire is of course reasonable to say that "The Deer and the Cauldron" is a good novel. Even Ni Kuang himself said that "The Deer and the Cauldron" is a good novel, not a good martial arts novel. Although there are still rivers and lakes and knights in it, they are the objects of ridicule and satire in "The Deer and the Cauldron", just like people now like to ridicule their dreams when they were young.
The things contained in this novel are enough to make it a good work, but it is far from martial arts.
Martial arts are called fairy tales for adults by some people, but "The Deer and the Cauldron" is no longer a fairy tale. It is a comic reality that satirizes fairy tales nakedly.
Shaking his head, Luoyang stopped thinking about the significance of The Deer and the Cauldron and continued to preside over the meeting. During the meeting, decisions were made and rules were set. Most of the content was about the release of Luoyang's new book until the meeting was over.
After the meeting, Xiang Tao told Luoyang that everything was ready.
A few days ago, Luoyang had handed over the content of the first episode of The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, [I miss you all the way to the end of the world] to Xiang Tao. Xiang Tao did not comment too much on the quality of the content. After all, one or two chapters of the novel could not tell anything. After he and the Shuimu editorial department worked together, The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber officially joined the serial family of Jianghu.
In fact...
As the last part of the Condor Heroes trilogy, The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber has already aroused enough expectations!
Countless readers are looking forward to seeing this new book. Many new fans who have just finished the original novels of The Return of the Condor Heroes and even The Legend of the Condor Heroes are eager to urge Luoyang to release the content of the new book in advance to relieve their inner desire.
On the Internet, the countdown continues.
So June passed in the readers' expectations.
In July, the first episode of "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" [Missing You Across the World, Can't Forget] was published. The girl named Guo Xiang finally rode on a green donkey and came late on the long ancient road!
