This editor was the fastest reader in the entire editorial department. He had already read an important chapter in the first volume of "Zhu Xian" which described the upcoming martial arts competition of the seven clans of Qingyun Sect. However, he almost broke his mouse by clicking it many times, but the next chapter still did not appear, so he became anxious.
This is the first volume
Chu Kuang is a person who interrupts others!
However, just because this editor had finished reading it didn’t mean that the other editors had finished reading it as well. Everyone was reading it with great interest, but suddenly they looked up in dissatisfaction when they heard this editor’s chatter, and their eyes were full of threats:
“Shut up!”
"I just..."
"If you dare to spoil the story, I will kill you!"
The editor didn't dare to anger the public and could only keep his mouth shut.
However, his words still reminded other editors who were reading the book.
Now, while reading the book, please pray in your heart:
Hold on to the progress bar!
As we all know, the progress bar can never hold up.
Editors read books faster than ordinary readers.
Even if everyone tries to look more carefully, the progress bar will eventually perform the legendary disappearance trick.
So when everyone finished reading the pitiful first volume of "Zhu Xian", the editorial department was in an uproar, and the editors just opened their mouths and said:
"Fuck, it's gone?"
"Fuck, it's gone?"
"Fuck, it's gone?"
It was as if they were not a group of editors, but a set of tape recorders.
Perhaps the essence of human beings is a repeater.
The editor who finished reading first finally dared to speak up: "Reading too fast is an occupational disease for us editors."
Everyone felt the same way.
What makes everyone feel the most uncomfortable is not that they read fast, but the fragments of the first volume of "Zhu Xian", which is really uncomfortable:
"Why is Chu Kuang so short!"
“Stuck in this position!”
"I want to see Zhang Xiaofan show off!"
"It's too torturous to be neither up nor down!"
"It was just when things were getting exciting, why did it suddenly disappear?"
"… "
Chu Kuang is actually not short at all.
Two hundred thousand words of updates is a lot.
Novels are mostly published in volumes. Some novels are published as a single volume with just over 100,000 words. Publishing a volume with 200,000 words can be considered the conscience of the industry.
Ultimately, everyone's frustration stems from complaints about the incomplete chapters.
The Qingyun Sect's Seven Clans Martial Competition is obviously a climax. Who would be willing to stop before the climax
"How about it?"
Yang Feng spoke with a smile, looking indifferent.
In fact, Yang Feng was more excited than anyone else before, but now looking at everyone's reactions, he suddenly had an inexplicable sense of superiority.
"ox!"
“Dick!”
"fry!"
People's vocabulary for descriptive purposes is very limited, and the phrase "wow" is simply an insult to the profession of editor.
Two minutes later.
Everyone gradually regained their sanity: "This book simply redefines the word 'Xianxia'. Chu Kuang is establishing a new school of thought!"
"It turns out that Xianxia literature can be written like this."
"I even smelled a hint of martial arts when reading Zhu Xian, but the artistic conception was obviously higher than that of martial arts. Chu Kuang's book may lead the market trend again."
Martial arts were once all the rage.
More than 90% of the old men in the Fantasy Department have had a dream of being a martial arts hero with a sword in the world, so many of them have this kind of sentiment.
Unfortunately, the era of martial arts is over.
Just like the Celestial Empire on Earth.
The martial arts category was once the mainstay of the book market.
The popularity of this theme is even more exaggerated than the most popular alien adventure at present.
But nowadays, no one can read martial arts novels anymore. That level of stimulation is far from satisfying today's readers!
This is the trend of the times.
The trend is unstoppable. Even if Mr. Jin traveled through time, he would not be able to change this inevitable outcome.
But after reading "Zhu Xian" today, everyone felt the long-lost martial arts sentiment. However, this novel is not a martial arts novel, but a fairy tale novel with a higher level of artistic conception.
“No wonder he doesn’t want to continue writing about sports.”
"It turns out that Xianxia is the romance that belongs to men!"
"Chu Kuang really understands it. This book made my face swollen."
"Who could have thought that Chu Kuang's immortal hero would be like this."
“It’s also a fairy-tale theme, but the content and structure are completely different from “The Battle of Fairies and Demons”. This is a completely new way of thinking about fairy-tale creation.”
"… "
The "Battle between Immortals and Demons" of that year simply used the templates of various myths and legends to write a story about the battle between righteousness and evil.
In fact, it is a martial arts story in disguise.
The author simply elevated the level of martial arts strength.
However, Chu Kuang's "Zhu Xian" depicts a vivid world of cultivating immortals!
When you read this book, you may even feel that this world really exists.
It is obviously very mysterious, but the entire world view can be completely self-consistent. What everyone pursues in cultivation is the Tao, which is extremely subtle.
This world emphasizes cause and effect, the cycle of cause and effect, and the magic of magic weapons.
Especially the "Zhu Xian Sword Formation" occasionally mentioned in the book is an unprecedented high expectation point!
Although Chu Kuang did not give a more in-depth description of how terrifying the Zhu Xian Sword Formation was, the mere word "Zhu Xian" was enough to make everyone yearn for it, and they only felt it was magnificent and grand!
Think again.
The opening sentence "Heaven and earth are unkind and treat all things as straw dogs" is not simple either. It seems that this sentence of Lao Tzu was tailor-made for this story. The more I think about it, the more exciting it becomes.
Just at this moment.
Editor-in-chief Lao Xiong came in and saw the editors whispering to each other. He shouted at the top of his voice: "What are you talking about instead of working?"
Bears are out!
The editors were shocked and immediately shut up, pretending to be working seriously.
Lao Xiong is still very authoritative as the editor-in-chief of the fantasy department.
Last time, You Rong's "Fun Reading" asked Chu Kuang for an article without permission, and Lao Xiong made a scene in the magazine department. This incident left a deep impression on many people.
"That's right."
At this time, only Yang Feng dared to speak: "Chu Kuang's new book has been sent to me. I think the company can promote it earlier. We can publish it directly next month."
"Chu Kuang's new book?"
Lao Xiong's expression eased. "Are you still writing about tennis this time, or other sports?"
Yang Feng said: "This time I'm writing about Xianxia."
The old bear's expression froze for a moment: "Are you kidding me?"
Yang Feng was not surprised by Lao Xiong's reaction, and quickly said, "Please take a look first. I have already sent the manuscript to your email."
"Um… "
Lao Xiong walked towards the editor-in-chief's office with a confused look on his face. Before closing the door, he couldn't help but turn back and ask Yang Feng, "Are you really not kidding me?"
"You take a look first."
Yang Feng said with a smile.
Everyone was silent, but their expressions were a little strange. They stared at Lao Xiong, secretly expecting what the editor-in-chief's reaction would be after reading "Zhu Xian"
The answer is revealed.
When it was almost time to get off work in the evening, Lao Xiong suddenly rushed out of the office, striding forward with a weight of over 200 pounds without caring about anyone, and the floor under his feet made a rumbling sound!
bump!
Without a word, in the blink of an eye, the old bear's mountain-like figure had disappeared at the door, leaving only the creaking sound of the door that was violently pushed open.
"This is the first time I've seen an old bear run so fast."
The editors were amazed and looked at each other knowingly. This was the real Boonie Bears.
