In the next few days, Lin Yuan continued to write The Legend of the Condor Heroes. The progress was smoother than before, and half of the content had been completed.
He plans to finish it within a month.
With the help of the convulsion hand and the system potion, this is not a difficult task for Lin Yuan, although if this matter is made public, people will slice him into pieces for research.
certainly.
Lin Yuan did not hide the fact that he was writing a martial arts novel from Jinmu.
After Jin Mu learned about Lin Yuan's new book plan, a huge roar suddenly sounded in his heart:
"here we go!"
"He's started it again!"
The decline of Blue Star martial arts novels has not been a one-day or two-day thing. Apart from the newcomer Zhao Zhou, there are almost no people who like to read martial arts novels.
In the fiction market.
Martial arts are special.
This theme was once extremely glorious and was the most valued category of novels by major publishing houses on Blue Star. It once dominated the novel market on Blue Star, with various blockbuster works with top sales emerging one after another. It could be called the white moonlight in the hearts of countless novel lovers!
pity.
Today, as martial arts are declining, the former glory no longer exists.
It may be biased to assert that martial arts has come to an end, but this genre is definitely a sunset genre!
The last sunset on Blue Star belonging to martial arts was cast by Zhao Zhou, who had just joined the merger and had always been passionate about martial arts.
In this case.
Apart from Zhao Zhou, almost no writer is willing to touch this subject!
But who is Chu Kuang
As a well-known pioneer in the novel world, Chu Kuang has never had the habit of playing by the rules since his debut!
Sports and Athletics…
Classical Xianxia...
Suspense adventure...
Chu Kuang will write about whatever topic is unpopular enough!
It was only in recent years that Chu Kuang became normal and started writing mainstream themes such as mystery, so much so that the world almost forgot how willful and eccentric this novelist was in his choice of subject matter!
This is why Kaneki exclaimed in his heart:
The old thief Chu Kuang, who was the more marginalized he was by his peers and the more people criticized him, the more he wanted to write related novels, is back!
“It’s not a big problem.”
Kaneki's heart was beating fast, but he forced a smile:
"Although martial arts is declining, the people of Zhaozhou still like this theme very much. If it is well written, the sales of the works that Zhaozhou can provide will be considerable."
The tone was very reluctant.
Kaneki's words were mostly self-consolation.
Although the sales volume that one continent can provide is indeed terrifying, Chu Kuang’s ceiling is too low when targeting readers from one continent!
You know.
If Chu Kuang continues to write mystery stories, all six continents of Qin, Qi, Chu, Yan, Han and Zhao will buy them. How can the upper limit of sales be compared with that of Zhao Zhou alone
Which is more important, one continent or six continents
But Kaneki's words were not entirely self-consolation.
Although Chu Kuang's martial arts novels have a low cost-effectiveness and may have to give up the five-state market of Qin, Qi, Chu, Yan and Han, it is a fact known to everyone that the recent craze for martial arts drama remakes is in full swing.
Just because Qin, Qi, Chu, Yan and Han don’t read martial arts novels doesn’t mean they don’t watch martial arts dramas!
If the TV series based on Chu Kuang's martial arts novel becomes popular, it can make up for the lack of sales to a certain extent.
This is the copyright approach.
There are some novelists in Blue Star whose novels may not have average sales, but their works can always be sold for copyright and made into film and television dramas, and then they can achieve the same writing purpose by relying on the success of the film and television dramas.
The publishing house may be troubled by this issue.
After all, this is not the most suitable route for Chu Kuang, and the sales of novels are where they make the most money.
Think about it.
Jin Mu added: "I don't recommend that you release the drama first and then the book. It would be better to release the novel first and then arrange the release of the TV series. This way there will be more benefits."
"is that so?"
Lin Yuan nodded without hesitation: "Just do as you say."
“Then I’ll contact the publisher.”
Seeing that Lin Yuan had no objection, Jin Mu also nodded, and then said to himself: "Which department is in charge of the martial arts category of the Silver Blue Library now?"
This shows the decline of martial arts.
If it was the glorious era of martial arts, then there would be no need to worry about this issue. Any publishing house would have a dedicated martial arts department, and the category of martial arts novels is enough to support an independent department.
But times are different now.
Martial arts novels can no longer support an independent department, so major publishing houses have merged martial arts novels into other departments.
It seems to be the fantasy department
Kaneki raised an eyebrow and began to contact the Silver and Blue Library.
…
Silver Blue Library.
Fantasy editorial department.
Editor-in-chief Lao Xiong was working when his cell phone suddenly rang.
"Chu Kuang's Agent Jin Mu"
When Lao Xiong saw the caller ID, his whole body suddenly shook violently. Deep in his eyes, there was a hint of great anticipation as if he hadn't seen it for many years. Even his heartbeat suddenly accelerated:
"Hello, Mr. Jin!"
"Editor Xiong, excuse me."
Jin Mu greeted him and went straight to the point: "Teacher Chu Kuang has written half of his new book. It should be published in the fantasy department of the Silver Blue Library. Can I send it to you now?"
silence.
There was deathly silence on the other end of the line.
If it weren't for the sudden heavy breathing sound coming from the other side, Kaneki almost thought that there was something wrong with his signal.
But he didn't know.
At this moment, Old Bear's heart was in turmoil, his lips were trembling slightly, and he even had an urge to cry!
Back!
The thighs are back!
Chu Kuang, the thickest thigh of the Silver Blue Library, has finally returned to our fantasy department from the reasoning department!
Ever since Chu Kuang was personally handed over to Cao Dezhi, the editor-in-chief of the mystery department, from Poirot to the Sherlock Holmes series that was popular in the book circle, Chu Kuang has never come back.
The old bear was heartbroken.
He had been dreaming of Chu Kuang's return. This man was a walking achievement in the company. Now that Chu Kuang had announced his return to the fantasy department, Lao Xiong was so excited that his whole body went numb. He pinched his thigh hard:
"good!"
"That's it."
After Kaneki hung up the phone, he directly sent the half-finished version of The Legend of the Condor Heroes by Lin Yuan to the email address of the fantasy department of the Blue Silver Library.
at the same time.
Lao Xiong quickly pushed open the office door and shouted at the busy editors, "Chu Kuang's new book is a fantasy theme, and our department is responsible for it. You should put down everything you are doing and start reviewing it immediately!"
The editors were stunned by the roar.
Is Chu Kuang’s new book a fantasy book
Chu Kuang is finally going to write a fantasy novel again
After everyone looked at each other in confusion, the editorial department suddenly became lively!
"Chu Kuang's new book is written here!?"
"Hahaha, tell those guys in the reasoning department to stop being so arrogant. Chu Kuang is back, and the fantasy department is rising!"
"Cool!"
"I have to have a good chat with my friends in the mystery department when I go to the cafeteria for lunch. Chu Kuang wrote two mystery novels before, which brought their performance to the sky. It makes me angry to see them showing off!"
“What’s the new book about?”
"Hurry and take a look, I can't wait!"
"No matter what it is, as long as Chu Kuang writes it, it doesn't matter even if it's the most unpopular subject matter. The Ultimate Mountain Opener is no joke!"
Editors couldn't wait to open their mailboxes.
Among them, Yang Feng's hand speed was the fastest.
Yang Feng was Chu Kuang’s first editor, and it was he who discovered “The Prince of Tennis”.
Because he is in charge of authors like Chu Kuang, Yang Feng's performance has soared. It is said that he is expected to be nominated as deputy editor-in-chief this year. No one cares about his new book more than him!
Swish.
Email Jump.
The document sent by Kaneki was clearly visible.
Yang Feng suppressed his inner excitement and clicked on the document, and then the detailed information of the novel appeared in front of Yang Feng.
Title: The Legend of the Condor Heroes
Category: Martial Arts
Introduction: In the middle of the Southern Song Dynasty, the situation was chaotic. The Guo and Yang families were brutally exterminated, and their descendants were scattered. Guo Jing, a descendant of the Guo family, was upright and resolute. He was taught martial arts by the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan since he was a child, and also learned the skills of Hong Qigong...
Didn't finish reading the introduction.
Yang Feng's eyes were fixed on the categories of novels, and he felt numb all over.
around.
Other editors also saw the manuscript one after another, and finally their eyes were fixed on the two words "martial arts". The entire editorial department seemed to be suddenly poured with a bucket of cold water, and the enthusiasm was instantly extinguished.
This moment.
Even the editor who had previously said, "It doesn't matter even if it's the most unpopular topic," now looked bewildered.
"What's wrong?"
Old Bear felt something was wrong when he saw that everyone suddenly stopped talking.
"Martial arts."
The editor closest to Lao Xiong whispered in an extremely complicated tone: "Chu Kuang's new book is about martial arts."
"What?"
The old bear was stunned. He leaned forward with his huge body towards the editor's computer, and then he wailed, with a hint of sorrow and sadness:
"Why is it a martial arts hero!"
