Chapter 15 The Craze Caused by Condor Shooting
Lin Zixuan was not that stingy. Even if he knew Ping Jinya's pseudonym, he would not fire him.
He is considering another question.
A newspaper cannot hold on to the scene by relying solely on "The Legend of Qin" and it also requires other good novels.
He looked through the manuscripts collected by Pingqianya. Most of them were novels from the Mandarin duck butterfly school circle, and they were not innovative. Naturally, they naturally didn't look down on them with his eyes. They were just a substitute.
This is the overall environment of the Shanghai literary world. Compared with the vigorous and lively literary world in Peking, it is more like a stagnant pool.
Moreover, newly published tabloids like "Popular Novel Weekly" cannot attract real literary celebrities.
It’s better to do it yourself and have enough food and clothing.
Lin Zixuan decided to open another martial arts novel under Jin Yong's pseudonym.
At this time, the story of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was serialized to one-third, and the main characters appeared one after another, gradually showing their dazzling edge.
The author Jin Yong has also attracted a lot of attention and has become a new writer in Shanghai.
If someone said that when the Legend of the Condor Heroes was first serialized, it was said that it was a new wine in an old bottle, now everyone finds that this martial arts novel is likely to change the pattern of martial arts novels and open up a new path.
Let’s take a look at the martial arts novels from the early years of the Republic of China.
"The Romance of the Qinghong Gang", "The Romance of the Boxer Rebellion", "The Romance of the White Lotus Sect", "The Thirty-Six Heroes of the Jianghu"...
These novels are basically similar to storytelling, and are all derived from "Three Heroes and Five Righteous Ones".
Martial arts novels of this level are not on the same level as "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and readers can see it at a glance.
"The Legend of the Condor Heroes" constructs a new Jianghu model, which contains peerless masters, extraordinary skills, wonderful martial arts, major sects, etc.
This is innovation.
It no longer deliberately imitates "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness", but instead upgrades the world in "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness".
This is a consideration made from the perspective of a writer, and for readers, they only have one feeling.
This is the world they think, and their previous martial arts novels are so weak.
It’s like when you’re used to eating delicious food, and then you try radish pickles, how can you put it in your mouth?
Unlike the city that "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has caused storms and storms, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is subtle.
Its own subject matter is easy to be accepted by readers, and the text in the text will not cause excessive resistance. With the exciting plot, it is difficult to not become popular.
When the tide of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" faded, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" showed its power.
The reason why these two novels have attracted great attention is the first of all the publishing platforms. Whether it is "Free Talk" or "Happy Forest", there are a large number of readers.
The second is the innovation of the novel content, which gave the erotic novels of the Mandarin duck butterfly school a great impact.
Just like putting two small red balls into a bunch of small blue balls, it is impossible not to attract attention.
Unlike the one-sided criticism of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has received more praise.
At this time, the plot of the story reached Guo Jing and came to Taohua Island to ask Huang Yaoshi for marriage. The East Evil, the West Poison, the North Beggar, the Old Naughty Boy, and several masters gathered at Taohua Island.
Huang Yaoshi gave three test questions, Guo Jing and Ouyang Ke competed to decide which family Huang Rong's flower fell.
The plot reached a small climax, which naturally attracted widespread attention.
The Newspaper has received many letters from readers, and there are also discussions in the newspapers.
In Shanghai, whether it is a student or an office worker, whether it is a vendor or a rich man, they are paying attention to this novel.
They argue about who has better martial arts skills, whether Guo Jing can pass, whether Huang Rong will marry Guo Jing, etc.
Even Pingjina was watching "Happy Forest", thinking in his mind whether he could imitate a book to make money, but this kind of novel was a bit difficult to imitate, unlike "The Legend of Qin".
He also seriously suggested to Lin Zixuan that a similar martial arts novel was published in the "Popular Novel Weekly" and it would definitely be a big hit.
It can be said that "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has become a phenomenon and has triggered a craze for readers.
Yan Duhe, editor-in-chief of "Happy Forest", has increased the royalties for Lin Zixuan to three yuan in a thousand words, and it can even be discussed again.
Now he remembered the words "New-School Martial Arts Novels" he saw when he received the manuscript. He felt disapproved at the time. Now it seems that "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is really possible to create a school of its own.
Lin Zixuan did not take back "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", but continued to serialize in "Happy Forest".
This is a human problem.
Unlike "The Legend of Qin", Yan Duhe did not cut off "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" in half, so Lin Zixuan would continue to contribute and should not lose credibility for a little money.
What he had to consider was which novel to write. There was no way, there were too many martial arts novels in his mind.
Lin Zixuan personally prefers "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer". His lazy personality is very consistent with "The Smiling, Proud Wandererer".
But there is a pitfall in "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer". Lin Pingzhi, who had been writing for a long time at the beginning, later found out that the protagonist was Linghu Chong, and Linghu Chong was probably the latest protagonist to come out.
It is really a pity that Ah Zhu killed in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and Qiao Feng finally committed suicide.
As for "The Book and Sword of Revenge" and "The Deer and the Cauldron" are not planned to be written for the time being, it is better to be careful not long after the Qing government stepped down.
After thinking about it, he decided to write "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer", who made him like it?
When he handed over the manuscript of "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" to Ping Jinya, Ping Jinya looked at the author and was stunned for a moment.
Jin Yong, this is a popular new writer in Shanghai recently, and his book has become a model for becoming a god.
He spent five or six years in Shanghai and wrote manuscripts that he didn't know several million words, which was not as good as his two-month gains.
This is the difference between being a human being!
The boss is amazing, and he can even get Jin Yong's manuscripts...
Something seems wrong?
Ping Jinya was flexible in mind, and looked at the pen letters on the manuscript, which was the same as the handwriting on the manuscript of "The Legend of Qin".
He suddenly opened his mouth wide. He didn't expect that Huang Yi and Jin Yong, the two writers who stirred up the Shanghai literary world, were the same person, and this person was his boss.
This is really incredible.
His eyes when he looked at Lin Zixuan changed, as if he was looking at God.
Lin Zixuan shook his head and waved his hand at him, looking indifferent.
Don't be obsessed with me, I'm just a legend.
Therefore, Jin Yong's latest martial arts novel "The Smiling and Proud Wanderer" was published in the second issue of "Popular Novel Weekly", and focused on the concept of new-story martial arts novels.
Lin Zixuan personally wrote an article, dividing martial arts novels into two stages: before "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and after "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
He had a bad taste, which was to constantly create a school and collect various titles.
