Chapter 853: The Heaven Sword and the Dragon Slayer (Part 2)

RB fans like to call Teacher Theking "My King".

However, in Longguo, because of his status as the martial arts emperor of Luoyang, there are many die-hard fans who jokingly shout "Long live my king", so it does not cause many associations for netizens. What fills the hearts of netizens is the expectation for "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber".

December 15th.

The final chapter of the Condor Heroes trilogy "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" is officially on the shelves!

Major bookstores are overcrowded, and almost everyone comes for this "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber". The bookstore waiters are busy dealing with the continuous orders. According to real-time news reports, a bookstore in Tiandu has too many people, so the bookshelves have been squeezed down by customers, which shows the grand opening of the bookstore.

Of course, sales...

It is definitely impossible to directly calculate it in the short term.

The staff of Shuimu Culture can only carefully speculate the sales of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" through the situation of major bookstores. In general, the performance is quite optimistic. There is almost no work in Longguo that can match the grand opening of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" this year, including the previously popular "Blue Flower Pond".

And in the capital of Liao Province, in a star-rated hotel.

A young man was waiting for something a little nervously.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and the young man couldn't wait to say: "Come in, the door is not locked."

As soon as the voice fell, a mature woman with ordinary looks and a scarf entered the room. As soon as the woman entered the door, the young man couldn't help but say: "Sister Zhang, didn't I ask you to buy a book? Why did you take so long to come back?"

The woman called Sister Zhang by the young man smiled bitterly: "You think I want to, the bookstore is overcrowded, in order to buy this "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" for you, I queued for more than an hour. Judging from the weather, the phenomenal performance of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is inevitable. It deserves to be the emperor of martial arts!"

Qing Nian was a little excited and asked, "Where's the book?"

Sister Zhang handed the beautifully packaged "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" to the young man, and said helplessly, "I am a hard-working agent. I have been waiting in line and haven't even had a meal yet."

The young man took the book and couldn't wait to open the package. When he heard what Sister Zhang said, he stopped and said with some guilt, "I'm sorry, Sister Zhang, why don't you go to the hotel's catering department to eat something first? Their buffet is not bad. Don't worry about me. Anyway, I have postponed all the announcements these days. I can just stay in the hotel and read the book."

The woman called Sister Zhang nodded and prepared to push the door out.

But when she reached the door, she couldn't help but turn back and said, "Zhou Xuan, don't hold your hopes too high. Luoyang said on Weibo last year that he wanted you to play Zeng Aniu, which was probably just a joke. As far as I know, the protagonist of "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" is called Zhang Wuji, not Zeng Aniu. To put it another way, I'm afraid Luoyang himself has forgotten what he said about Zeng Aniu..."

Yes, this young man is actor Zhou Xuan.

Now he is no longer the young and handsome guy who competed for the role of Mei Changsu.

Now Zhou Xuan is gradually moving closer to the old guy. Last year, when "The Return of the Condor Heroes" was casting, Zhou Xuan's agency ran around and promoted the role of Yang Guo for Zhou Xuan.

Unfortunately, Zhou Xuan did not catch Luoyang's eye. The role of Yang Guo was eventually taken by Luoyang's favorite Tang Feng. As a result, "The Return of the Condor Heroes" became a big hit as soon as it was released, breaking ratings and reaching high numbers on video websites. Tang Feng, who played Yang Guo, laid a solid foundation with this role and became a near-explosive star, becoming the goal of almost all young actors.

Zhou Xuan felt regretful, heartbroken, helpless, and all kinds of emotions.

It was not that he did not have a good vision, but that he did not have enough luck, because he had tried hard to get the roles of Mei Changsu and Yang Guo. Unfortunately, as if it was destined, these two roles that could make any actor successful ended up in Tang Feng's hands.

"I clearly saw the potential of Mei Changsu..."

"I also clearly knew that The Legend of Condor Heroes would create a ratings miracle for The Legend of Condor Heroes..."

"I clearly have a better vision than most actors of my generation, but I was unlucky twice..."

Zhou Xuan felt bitter. He had imagined countless times what kind of heights he would reach if he won the roles of Mei Changsu and Yang Guo. Even if he could not match Tang Feng, he might not be far behind...

Unfortunately, there is no if in reality, but now there is a glimmer of hope in front of Zhou Xuan. That is, when the casting of The Legend of Condor Heroes ended last year, Luo Yang once tagged Zhou Xuan on Weibo and inexplicably said, "Maybe I will ask you to play Zeng Aniu next time." Many people just thought it was a joke from Luo Yang, but Zhou Xuan secretly remembered it in his heart.

He has been waiting for Luo Yang's new martial arts work.

When The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber was serialized in Jianghu, he couldn't wait to click to read it.

After following the series for several issues, Zhou Xuan found helplessly that there was no character named "Zeng Aniu" in the book. The real protagonist was called Zhang Wuji.

Yes, only a high-sounding name like "Zhang Wuji" should be the name of the protagonist. A name like "Zeng Aniu" that sounds very rustic is probably not even a supporting role in the book. At most, it can be regarded as a minor role. Zhou Xuan was extremely disappointed and thought that he was unlucky and had no chance to be with Luo's martial arts...

Even so, he still asked his agent to buy "Eternal Dragon Sword" on the first day it was put on sale. Sure enough, he still had hope.

At this moment, hearing the reminder from his manager, Sister Zhang, Zhou Xuan smiled gently and said: "It's okay, Sister Zhang, even if I am not the main character in Luo Da's heart, I can still try hard to fight for it. After reading the book "Eternal Dragon Sword" Book talent is more competitive. As far as I know, Luo University never uses actors who have never read the original work as the protagonist. I will also ask you to talk to the agency for me when the time comes. "

Sister Zhang nodded and sighed: "Hey, the company's scale is limited, and Sister Zhang doesn't have many resources. It's been holding you back over the years."

Zhou Xuan waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, no, Sister Zhang, I have always felt that it all depends on human factors. The reason why I didn't get the leading role before was because of my lack of acting skills. It has nothing to do with Sister Zhang and the company."

Hearing this, Sister Zhang nodded and left the room silently. In fact, Zhou Xuan was very popular when he was a young boy. Therefore, after the first contract expired, major entertainment companies took notice and wanted to sign Zhou Xuan, but Zhou Xuan's He has a good nature and knows how to repay kindness. He always thinks about the good of the company and is not as far-sighted as ordinary actors. He still stupidly renewed his contract with his original company. In this way, the small scale of the company actually restricted Zhou Xuan. The development in the past few years is a pity to say that he could have gone further.

Now I can't forget the name Zeng Aniu that Luoyang mentioned casually...

Isn’t it because I want to use my own efforts to break the shackles of the company’s resources and go one step further...

After Sister Zhang left, Zhou Xuan started reading "Eternal Dragon Sword". He started reading it from the eleventh episode because he had read the first ten episodes in "Jianghu" magazine. Luoyang also said that the physical book contained the first ten episodes. There is no difference from the serialized version.

Unlike many celebrities who say they like Luoyang's works, Zhou Xuan really has a soft spot for Luoyang's works. When he competed for the role of Mei Changsu, it was because he read the "Langya Bang" novel serialized by Weibo, and Although the protagonist of "Eternal Dragon Sword" is not Zeng Aniu, Zhou Xuan still enjoys watching it.

He actually reads very slowly.

It wasn't until twelve o'clock in the evening that Zhou Xuan read Chapter 16, "Stripping the Extremes and Returning to Nine Yangs".

In this chapter, Zhang Wuji fell off the cliff and learned the "Nine Yang Divine Art". Zhou Xuan felt similar to Xiang Tao's feelings -

"Falling off a cliff, surviving a catastrophe, and then getting a treasure. This would be a very clichéd plot in other martial arts novels, but under Luo Da's hands, it not only perfectly filled the pit of "Jing in Oil", It also gives the most appropriate explanation for Zhang Wuji's acquisition of "Nine Yang Magic" and fills readers' hearts with expectations, which is really awesome."

With emotion, Zhou Xuan continued to read.

The original text reads: [The girl stared at him for a long time, but seeing that the expression on his face was calm and relaxed, she felt a little strange and asked: "What is your name? Why are you here?" Zhang Wuji thought to himself: "When I arrived in China, everyone immediately asked me about the whereabouts of my adoptive father. They used threats and deceptions to do whatever they could, so that I suffered a lot. From now on, 'Zhang Wuji' is considered dead. No one knows the whereabouts of the Golden Retriever Lion King Xie Xun. Even if he meets someone ten times more powerful than Zhu Changling in the future, he will not be afraid of falling into his trap and inadvertently killing my adoptive father. "He said, "My name is. A Niu.”]

Ah Niu!

Zhou Xuan's body trembled slightly.

A certain fire that had been hidden deep in my heart suddenly started to burn.

He had given up hope, so he suppressed his rapidly beating heart and continued reading with wide eyes: [The girl smiled slightly and said: "What's your last name?" Zhang Wuji thought to himself: "I said my last name is Zhang The surnames "Yin" and "Xie" are not good. The pronunciation of the two characters "Zhang" and "Yin" is "Zeng". "My... my surname is Zeng."

Your surname is Zeng?

Name...A Niu!

It turns out that Zeng Aniu is Zhang Wuji!

It turns out that Zhang Wuji is the person Luo Da talks about...Zeng Aniu!

Zhou Xuan could no longer hold back his excitement. The calmness and elegance that a star should have had disappeared. He suddenly jumped up from the hotel bed and immediately called his manager, Sister Zhang. Sister Zhang seemed to be ready to fall asleep. , answered the phone, and said in a somewhat confused tone: "Zhou Xuan, you're still up so late, go to bed early..."

"No, Sister Zhang, listen to me, Zeng Aniu is the protagonist!"

"He is Zhang Wuji, and he is the protagonist of "The Legend of Heaven and Dragon Sword"!"

Zhou Xuan's voice resounded throughout the hotel room, and Sister Zhang on the other end of the phone quickly dispelled her heavy sleepiness, her face full of surprise!
