When Ye Fan was brought to the conference room by Zhang Yang, there were already many people sitting in the conference room. Except for Editor Li, whom he had already met, there was a woman in her 40s with a capable temperament sitting in the main seat. She looked at Ye Fan who came in.

Fan and Zhang Yang smiled and nodded, and several other men and women sat next to them.

According to Zhang Yang's introduction, the person in charge is President Jin Lihong, and the others are other deputy editors and publicity and planning staff.

Zhang Yang, who Ye Fan had already handed over the photos, politely greeted everyone present, sat down on the edge, and nodded gratefully to meet Jin Lihong's gaze.

Zhang Yang stepped forward and gave the photos to Jin Lihong and said: "President, these are the photos. Take a look."

Jin Lihong took the photo and turned it over. She saw the person in front of him wearing a black flying fish suit, a beam crown on his head, and official boots on his feet. He had a stern face, raised his arm with a fist in his left hand, and held a knife in his right hand. The back of the knife was clamped on the left elbow joint to clean the knife.

shape.

Cao Xin was dressed in red, with her right hand touching her heart, looking ahead with a sad face in the snow; Zeng Li was dressed in green, holding an umbrella, looking up at the falling plum blossoms with a confused expression; Ye Chu was wearing regular clothes, with an aggressive expression

, the left arm holds a small sword in front, and the right arm holds a long sword behind.

At the back are some other single-person photos, as well as group photos, "Ye Fan and Zeng Li looked at each other beautiful and affectionately", "Ye Fan, who was injured after the war and looked embarrassed, was carrying Cao Xin's hand in the snow."

Guard photos', 'Ye Fan and Ye Chu back to back showing vigilance to the enemy'...

Jin Lihong nodded with satisfaction and seemed to be conquered by the appearance of the four people and the quality of the photos.

After reading it, I handed the photo to Editor Li and others to continue viewing.

After everyone finished reading, he motioned for everyone to discuss, and Ye Fan also watched nervously.

"Ye Fan, right?" Jin Lihong said to Ye Fan after listening to everyone's opinions: "I saw the photos and I'm quite satisfied. Everyone also likes the cover you took. It will definitely be very beautiful to make the cover of the new book. Yours

We have generally agreed on the plan, and the next step is to discuss it with the planner to see which photos will work best."

After hearing this, Ye Fan stood up excitedly and said to everyone: "Thank you, President Jin, thank you, editor Li, and thank you all for supporting me."

After the meeting, Ye Fan followed Zhang Yang to Jin Lihong's office and solemnly thanked Jin Lihong for her support. Ye Fan deliberately acted cute and started calling each other "Aunt Jin" and "Xiao Fan" after the conversation.

Later, we talked about the creative experience of writing the "Xiuchundao" series and the progress of the next "Kunlun", and discussed the upcoming plans. Seeing that the time was almost up, Zhang Yang and Ye Fan stood up and left.

After returning home, Ye Fan felt relieved and continued his daily work of laying foundations. The rest of the time was spent writing "Kunlun" while waiting for the official publication of the "Xiu Chun Dao" series.

It was a week later when Ye Fan received the notice from Zhang Yang.

"The company has decided to print 5,000 copies of the first volume, and the daily newspaper will also stop serialization and explanations at regular intervals." Ye Fan listened to Zhang Yang on the phone and said: "You remember to get the manuscript of "Kunlun" as soon as it is written.

Come here, the club also discussed it and agreed to your plan."

Ye Fan said happily: "Okay, uncle, thank you very much. I'll find a chance to ask Aunt Jin for me. I'll ask her to get together at Jufu Tower when I have time."

After Ye Fan finished speaking, he hung up the phone and went home from the public phone booth to continue coding, because it was related to the second phase of the plan.

………………

The next day, Ji Hai bought a copy of "Yanjing Evening News" as usual and followed "Sword Rain". This time Ji Hai didn't miss the bus. He resisted the desire to read and got on the bus. He saw many people with their hands full.

I took the "Yanjing Evening News" and looked at each other with a buddy. I checked my eyes and found out that they were both chasing updates.

Ji Hai then held on to the armrest and manipulated the newspaper skillfully with one hand. He turned to the novel column and read it with relish.

'...Jiang Asheng placed the injured and unconscious Zeng Jing on the bed... took out a shovel and lifted up the stone bricks on the ground... At this time, the Chakravartin King's men chased here... Ye Chanqing pulled out the Drizzle Sword

Looking at Jiang Asheng, he asked: "Will you die first or will she die first?" Jiang Asheng replied: "It's hard to say who will die first."... Lei Bin watched Jiang Asheng pull out a handful of rust from the box buried in the ground.

Spotted Iron Sword mocked: "This is also called a sword." Ye Chanqing heard this and sneered with disdain. Jiang Asheng said calmly: "I'll just sharpen the sword for a while"...

'

Ji Hai saw the last place where the sword was sharpened. Before he looked down, he thought, 'Is this Jiang Asheng hiding the sword? Is he still sharpening the sword now? Could it be that he is also a master? It's interesting.'

When Ji Hai thought of this, he heard the buddy next to him suddenly scolded: "Wucao, why do you have to stop the serialization? This thief Sun is really irritating, eh..." Ji Hai lost his voice when he heard this,

He also quickly looked down.

'Hello dear readers, "The Sword Rain of Xiuchundao" will stop serializing from tomorrow. This newspaper will also serialize another martial arts novel "Kunlun" by the author of this book, Beipai Ba Chang, so stay tuned.'

After reading this, Ji Hai couldn't help but curse in a low voice, but he also saw another sentence below, 'On August 15th, the physical book of the "Embroidered Spring Knife" series of novels will be published, and can be purchased at major bookstores in Yanjing.

'

Ji Hai breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, as long as he wasn't this northern tyrant or eunuch.

Ji Hai looked at the date and thought: "There are still a few days until the 15th. I'll check out the rest of the content then. If it's good, I'll buy a set and go home and read it slowly. Wait until tomorrow, and you can also take a look at this northern style first."

The quality of "Kunlun" performed by Ba Sing.'

At this time, most of the martial arts fans who were following the update of "Sword Rain" had the same idea as Ji Hai after reading today's "Yanjing Evening News". Of course, they couldn't help but scold the author for being a dog and making excuses in order to sell books.

Sun thief! (Author: The Northern Pai Ba Chang scolded me, what’s wrong with me, don’t mess with De Rui?)

The time came on August 15th. On this day, Ji Hai and Yu Guan were the buddies Ji Hai had checked their eyes with in the car that day. After they scolded the dog author that day, they became book friends and made an appointment to come here today.

Xinhua Bookstore came to inspect the books.

"Do you think Liang Wenjing can defeat Xiao Yuling after learning Gong Yangyu's "Sancai Guiyuan Palm"?" Ji Hai asked Yuguan as he walked.

Yu Guan thought for a while and replied: "emm~~~, I looked at it and it felt like the style of Jin Yong's "Heaven Slaying the Dragon". Liang Wenjing should be able to beat him. Maybe he would have to fight Xiao Yuling without knowing each other. In the end

They become a couple. Isn't this "The Iron-Blooded Prodigy" a prequel? It is estimated that the protagonists of the sequel will be their two sons. Whoops! Why are there so many people????"

When Ji Hai heard Yu Guan's words, he also looked towards the novel section. He saw people looking at the display of "Xiu Chun Knife". Many of them had already taken the books and went to the cashier to pay.

Seeing this, the two people quickly walked over there.

After finally grabbing a copy of "Xiu Chun Dao: Sword Rain" and "Xiu Chun Dao: Sword Mountain and Sea of ​​Fire", looking at the exquisite covers, Yu Guan said with emotion: "This cover is well shot, these two girls are so beautiful, and these two men

Not bad, just a bit more handsome than me."

Hearing this, Ji Hai couldn't help but look at Yu Guan with contempt: "He's even more handsome than you, can you please stop bragging. What do you think of the content behind "Sword Rain"? I'll read this book "Mountains of Swords and Seas of Fire"." After that, he took care of himself.

He looked at himself.

'In the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng attacked Yanjing and Yanjing fell. Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian hanged himself in Meishan at the age of thirty-four... Shen Lian and Beizhai had settled in Yangzhou for more than 20 years...

Shi Kefa said to Shen Lian: "You and I met in Yanjing. My ancestors were hereditary Jinyi hundreds of families. I was also a member of Yanjing Jinyi Wei. You and I can also be called colleagues. Now the national crisis is at hand and Sizhou has fallen.

Yangzhou is about to be besieged, why don't you want to help me?"... Seeing this, Ji Hai understood the general background plot and turned to the end.

'Shi Kefa and Shen Lian stood at the top of Yangzhou City, looking at the Duduo Qing army outside the city, with determination on their faces... Shen Lian watched the generals surrounding Shi Kefa, who had swung his sword to kill himself, and cried bitterly, and then looked at the broken

City Gate, turned around and left... After a difficult journey back home, he watched the gentle-looking Hokusai prepare the flying fish suit for him, looked at her with pity in his eyes, and silently cooperated with Hokusai to take off the blood-stained clothes.

Armor, put on the Feiyu suit that had been kept for a long time, and picked up the Xiuchun knife... Shen Lian walked out of the door and looked back at Beizhai... Shen Lian walked to the door and heard a 'pop' from the well.

Shen Lian's voice showed sadness on his face, and tears unknowingly stayed behind. He immediately tightened the embroidered spring knife in his hand, and the solemn and solemn figure under the setting sun walked towards the long street... Facing the surging Qing soldiers, Shen Lian

Holding up the embroidered spring knife with both hands, the lonely figure shouted: "Eldest brother, third brother, our brothers can get together again today, kill!!!!"...

When Ji Hai saw the end, his eyes were a little sour. He closed the book and said to Yu Guan: "I'm going to buy this book, how about you."

Yu Guan raised his head, saw Ji Hai's expression and asked: "What's wrong with you? The second part of "Sword Rain" is also good. Judging from your expression, the next few movies should also be good. Although 40 yuan is a bit expensive, but

I’m also going to buy it.”

After that, the two of them each picked up a new set of books and walked to the checkout counter.

…

As books are published, Ye Fan is also paying attention to sales and reviews.

When Ye Fan rushed to Huayi Publishing House after school, he saw Zhang Yang and asked quickly: "Uncle, how are you doing today?"

Zhang Yang smiled and said: "You're in a hurry, don't worry, today's sales are very good, most of them are book fans chasing updates in newspapers, but nearly a thousand copies have been sold, although there are some casual purchases due to price reasons

It's a book, but it can basically be sold. The people sent to the bookstore by the company still count the books by volume. When they came back, they said that most customers gave better feedback after reading it. I can't believe that you came just after I got the news."

"Then I'm relieved." Ye Fan said with a sigh of relief: "According to this situation, 5,000 copies in Yanjing City should not be enough. Should we distribute them to other places?"

"Originally, the company planned to distribute some to other places tomorrow, but judging from today's situation, the first volume should be in the city. In the afternoon, we have urgently notified for additional printing. Now that it is selling so well, we have to compete with pirates for time.

"Yes." Zhang Yang calmed down and joked: "This time the company has decided to print 50,000 more copies, increase publicity, and distribute the goods nationwide. You will become rich."

Ye Fan smiled sheepishly and said, "It's not all thanks to you, uncle, that you can help me. Otherwise, without the publishing channel of Huayi, even if I become famous in the end, it will be cheaper for pirates."

Zhang Yang laughed loudly and said: "You have to be capable. The quality of the novel is good and the cover is very beautiful. I heard that many boys and girls bought it after seeing your photos. Otherwise, I can't help much. Now you can let

The publicity resources in the club should be tilted a little more. Well, don’t be so anxious later. You can rest assured. According to the club’s previous experience, your book will definitely sell well. Just go back. I’ll let you know if there is any news later.

I’m telling you.”

"Okay uncle, I'll go back first." After asking this question, Ye Fan finally felt relieved and went home happily.

…

As time went by, the sales of "Xiu Chun Dao" increased, and its reputation gradually grew.

"Yanjing Daily" commented: The latest best-selling novel "Xiuchundao" is not only an excellent martial arts novel, but also a complex story that combines the temple and the rivers and lakes under the historical background of the Ming Dynasty. It has wonderful martial arts in the rivers and lakes.

There are also scheming battles in temples, poignant love, self-sacrifice brotherhood, and tragic feelings about family and country...

"Ming Pao" commented: "Xiu Chun Dao" is different from Mr. Jin Yong's martial arts novels. There are no complicated martial arts or martial arts in it. There are Shen Lian and others who prefer practical fighting cooperation, as well as Xiao Yu and other martial arts killers with exquisite moves.

, mixed with all kinds of love and hatred, and quite a new style of martial arts. I can’t believe this is the masterpiece of a 14-year-old boy...

"Modu Evening News", "Yangtze Evening News"... and other newspapers have made objective evaluations of the "Xiu Chun Knife" series. Of course, there are also some criticisms from some newspapers, such as not believing that this is written by a teenager.

Other books, such as "Sword Rain", contain more exquisite moves and fights in Jianghu, but the fights in this book are in a proper hardcore style, with little interaction between each other. Some people appear in only a few scenes, and the plot is nowhere to be found.
