Chapter 982 What Does It Matter?
In the next few days, in addition to writing "The Legend of the Two Heroes of the Tang Dynasty", Luoyang also took time to read the new books of Yao Chongjing and Mi Hu. It was not because he was worried about the quality of the works of the two, but just a routine review, and by the way, he satisfied his curiosity.
Mi Hu wrote an ancient romance this time, and the title of the book was "Splendid Mountains and Rivers".
As a queen who is good at writing modern romance, Mi Hu is obviously opening up her own new field. The main line is the palace fighting that is familiar to everyone in ancient words, and Luoyang also found that Mi Hu's ancient words are mixed with many martial arts elements, which is a bit similar to a TV series called "Supreme Beauty" that Luoyang had watched in his previous life. Although there are only a few chapters, Luoyang read it with relish.
She is worthy of being the queen of romance.
After reading Mi Hu's new work, Luoyang read the first three chapters of the new book sent by Yao Chongjing. As a result, what Luoyang never expected was that Yao Chongjing's new book was actually...
Time travel theme!
The title of the book is "Looking for Tang Dynasty", which tells the story of a history graduate student who travels back to the Tang Dynasty and rises in the martial arts world. Because of his familiarity with history, the protagonist's golden finger is ready to be revealed at the beginning. In short, after reading the first three chapters of Yao Chongjing's new book, the first thought that flashed through Luoyang's mind was:
Isn't this a variation of "Looking for Qin"?
Luoyang was very surprised, and once again felt that people in the world should not be underestimated.
Yao Chongjing has definitely not read "Looking for Qin", Luoyang can be sure of this, but he thought of a story theme similar to the classic "Looking for Qin" in the previous life, which is really very groundbreaking. It can only be said that even if separated by two time and space, the inspiration of some masters can still collide with sparks, thus producing a subtle chemical reaction.
As the editorial boss of Shuimu, Xiang Tao naturally read Yao Chongjing's new book.
He was full of praise for this idea: "Yao Chongjing is indeed a genius. He can think of combining martial arts with the time-travel elements in online literature. No one has ever written this kind of theme in the history of martial arts in our Dragon Country. Boss, your new book may have met a rival."
Luoyang joked: "If you say that, where does Mi Hu's "Splendid Rivers and Mountains" stand?"
Xiang Tao touched his head: "Mi Hu's "Splendid Rivers and Mountains" is also very well written, but although I am an editor, I really don't have a deep understanding of romance..."
"This book won't be bad either."
Luoyang is optimistic about Yao Chongjing and Mi Hu. The works of these two people are extraordinary from the beginning, and they may really become a strong rival of "The Legend of the Two Heroes of the Tang Dynasty". But it doesn't matter. Luoyang believes in this kind of healthy competition. Anyway, the one who benefits in the end is still "Jianghu" magazine, and he will not lose anything.
"Speaking of this, boss, I recently came across a manuscript."
Xiang Tao seemed a little hesitant, Luoyang smiled and said: "What manuscript makes you so entangled?"
Xiang Tao said "Wait a minute", took out his mobile phone and operated it: "Okay, the manuscript is sent to your mailbox, you can read it yourself."
Luoyang clicked on the manuscript sent by Xiang Tao, read it for a while, and couldn't help laughing. Xiang Tao sent a submission from an author named "Gongzi Hai". The title of the book is "Happy Jianghu". Although it is a martial arts novel, the main theme is not fighting and killing, but a story of several strong men who are tired of fighting in the rivers and lakes, living together with each other with secrets.
This book is full of all kinds of jokes.
The most important thing about martial arts novels is naturally martial arts and chivalry. However, in this "Happy Jianghu", the most important thing is not the word martial arts, but warmth and humor. All the plots and changes are for the sake of joy, and joy is not the kind of joy of decadent music, but contentment, chic and happy, singing and dancing by oneself, and unrestrained and unhindered joy.
"This is a special martial arts story."
Xiang Tao carefully chose his words: "It feels a bit niche when reading it. For example, the hidden weapon master in it makes frequent mistakes when shooting a bird, which is full of jokes. For example, the top killer in the world is so scared that he trembles even when killing a pheasant. I like this style very much, but I don't know if readers can accept it, so I am hesitant..."
"What is there to hesitate about?"
Luoyang waved his hand and said: "Let's also serialize this book in "Jianghu"."
This book reminded Luoyang of a book by Gu Long in his previous life, called "Happy Heroes". This is a very special work of Gu Long, and it is also a work that Gu Long himself is very proud of. However, compared with "Happy Heroes", the language style of this book is not so floating, and the nonsensical side is similar to "Wulin Wai Zhuan". The central idea of some of the plots is exactly the same as "Wulin Wai Zhuan", which seems to combine the highlights of the two works together...
Luoyang believes that such works will have a good market.
Seeing Luoyang said so, Xiang Tao immediately nodded and said, "Okay, then I will have someone contact the author and put this book on the next serialization list."
...
At night, the lights were on.
In a bedroom, a young man sat nervously in front of the computer.
Suddenly, an avatar with the note "Xiang Tao" jumped up, and the young man quickly clicked on the message:
"Gu Miao, your book has passed the review and will be serialized at the same time as Qingshan Zhanjian, Mi Hu, and Yao Chongjing next month. I help you just because I love your talent. The boss should not find out for the time being. If the boss finds out, you should be prepared to be cut off."
The young man took a long breath and typed, "Thank you!"
Yes, "Gongzi Hai" is Gu Miao's pseudonym. After the last encounter with Luoyang, Gu Miao thought a lot. Looking back on his creative career, he found that he was happiest when he was writing serials at Shuimu Culture, so he came back secretly.
Xiang Tao replied: "No, I won't help you anymore."
Gu Miao smiled bitterly. He also knew that what he did at the beginning broke many people's hearts, so he had to be sneaky when he wanted to come back. Anyway, it's better to start over this time...
"Ding Ding!"
Gu Miao's mobile phone suddenly rang.
Gu Miao picked up the phone and looked at it. His face turned pale instantly. He sighed and clicked on the message, but his eyes suddenly widened: "The book is good, keep writing in this style, Luoyang."
He found out...
Did he really forgive himself?
...
Zhonghai District 7.
In a bedroom with lights on, Luoyang smiled after sending the message.
Of course, he could tell that "Happy Jianghu" was written by Gu Miao. Although the story style was changed, some writing habits could not be easily changed. So he only took a glance and vaguely guessed something. When thinking about Xiang Tao's hesitation, Luoyang could almost conclude that this was Gu Miao's work.
But...
What does it matter?
