No one expected that Chu Kuang's "The Return of the Condor Heroes" would have such a crazy plot!
As public grievances boiled over, all major fields were shocked!
The entire publishing industry was in an uproar!
"What on earth is Chu Kuang doing? If he had just written this sequel honestly, even if the plot wasn't as exciting as The Legend of the Condor Heroes, readers would have been completely willing to buy it. Why did he have to come up with such a weird plot?"
"You have a problem with money?"
"You're having trouble with sales?"
"This is clearly a way to make things difficult for the readers!"
"When Chu Kuang was mentioned before, people in the industry would joke that this person deliberately went against the readers, but I always thought it was just a joke. Today I know that this person really did go against the readers. This book "The Return of the Condor Heroes" was simply written to disgust the readers!"
“I’m disgusted!”
"Although this plot is really unacceptable, as a competitor, I still want to mourn for the Silver Blue Library. With such a willful Supreme God, the editor can't stop Chu Kuang at all."
…
at the same time.
The TV industry was in a state of confusion, some even felt fortunate!
"What the hell is going on here? Why not just write a good book? Why do you have to write this kind of plot? Is Chu Kuang suffering from literary youth syndrome? Does he think that writing this way is more profound?"
"What the hell is profound!"
"What era is this? There are still people writing plots where the heroine is insulted. Should I be glad that Chu Kuang didn't sell the copyright of The Condor Heroes to our company?"
“Luckily I didn’t buy it!”
"How do I take pictures after buying this?"
"Even if it's just a paragraph in the novel, it's enough to make readers sick. If we make a movie about it, won't the audience come to our company and throw rotten eggs at us?"
"If I really buy it, I'll cry my heart out. Is there anyone who would want to watch this thing?"
…
Martial arts circle.
All martial arts writers are confused!
"Is there any special reason behind this? How could Chu Kuang write such a plot? Even a novice writer knows that cuckolding is something that should never be touched!"
"What on earth does he want to do!"
"Is he inflated, thinking that with his current strength, no matter how cruel his writing is, readers will be able to accept it?"
"Some readers even asked him to start a torture session before."
"These readers are so rude. Who is this Chu Kuang? They can't tease him. Who can bear it if he really abuses him?"
"It makes me vomit blood!"
"This martial arts novel has finally gotten better, why is he doing this? If he doesn't change the plot this time, he may really be boycotted by readers for many years in the future, and even his reputation as an old thief will be completely ruined!"
…
The media were so shocked at this point that even the news directly and openly called Chu Kuang an "old thief"!
Headlines are flying all over the place!
"Has the old thief Chu gone mad?"
"The most infuriating author in history is born!"
"What did the old thief write that caused readers from six continents to curse him?"
《The whole world is erupting! 》
"The heroine Xiao Longnu was humiliated in Chu Kuang Lao Zei's new book. Readers said they wanted to raise funds to find out Chu Kuang's address!"
"The old thief angered the public, how will the mess end?"
"Huang Rong was ruined, Long Nu was insulted, Yang Guo was abandoned, the most unacceptable book for readers since the old thief debuted was born!"
…
And amid the continued scolding.
Some readers took to the streets to protest!
A large number of readers stood in front of the bookstore holding copies of The Return of the Condor Heroes and demanded a refund!
The entrance of the Silver and Blue Library was also blocked by a large number of readers!
Banners about "Chu Kuang changing the plot" were put up one after another!
The public relations department of Silver and Blue Book Library has already been dispatched!
All kinds of whitewashing press releases that have been prepared long ago are being sent out!
What's going on? "The reason why everyone is so angry is ultimately because of the so-called virgin complex."
What is "love is pure"
There is also something like “To love someone, you should love her soul”.
There are even press releases that attempt to be rational, saying things like "love can transcend material things and the body itself."
pity.
This kind of press release cannot bring any comfort to readers!
Countless people expressed their anger, saying, "We will not accept any form of whitewashing", "The internet army can just go to sleep with it", and "I don't believe there are still real fans defending this old thief."
Obviously the PR whitewashing strategy failed.
The online criticism has not decreased at all, but has become more intense as more people have seen this episode of The Return of the Condor Heroes!
…
Kaneki's phone was bombarded with calls!
Under heavy pressure, Silver and Blue Library took the initiative to discuss with them the possibility of Chu Kuang changing the plot.
Even though Chu Kuang had already taken precautions.
at last.
Unable to defend himself, Kaneki sighed, "I also hope that he will change the plot, but the problem is that I can't contact him now."
“What a sin!”
The person on the other end hung up the phone in grief and anger.
Put down your phone.
Jin Mu looked at Lin Yuan with spitting fire in his eyes: "Boss, I can't hold it back anymore. This time is different from before. The readers really can't accept it."
Yes.
Lin Yuan was in the studio at this time.
There was no way he would really not come to the studio for a few days and let Kaneki face all this alone.
Although when he arrived at the studio today, he was almost beaten up by Kaneki who couldn't hold back.
Even this is still a small revenge.
For example, Jinmu added some sugar to the tea that he made for Lin Yuan today, and it tasted really strange.
In fact, Lin Yuan himself was somewhat helpless.
The plot of Xiaolongnu being humiliated is written very obscurely, and Jin Yong is very restrained about it.
Between the lines of his narration, he deliberately chose a plain and concise approach, trying to minimize the reader's rebellious psychology.
Apparently he also knew:
Readers have an innate resistance to this kind of plot.
Lin Yuan already knew how big the commotion was online and in real life, and he had to respond to it.
The first person to respond was Kaneki.
"Three days."
Lin Yuan predicted the time when the first batch of readers would finish reading The Return of the Condor Heroes, and said to Jin Mu:
"After three days, perhaps public opinion will turn around."
Jin Mu was stunned, not knowing where Lin Yuan got his confidence from: "Could it be the same as Poirot's time, the readers will figure it out themselves?"
Lin Yuan said: "Someone will figure it out eventually. You can continue reading and we can talk after you finish reading."
Kaneki: “…”
I guess you are also just waiting to see what happens
The problem is that reader riots are not always resolved naturally!
As the saying goes:
Nothing ever happens more than three times.
From the Baguio incident, to Poirot's death, to the rebellion of Sherlock Holmes readers.
Chu Kuang has done this kind of thing three times!
Who would have thought that Chu Kuang would do it for the fourth time, and the situation seemed to be even worse than the previous three times.
All right.
In fact, it doesn’t mean that the situation this time is necessarily worse than before.
The main reason is that Chu Kuang's influence is growing, and his readership is increasing, so this time the readers' riot seems to be crazier than before.
If an unknown writer wrote like this, readers would at most curse a few words and then abandon the book and walk away.
"All right."
Kaneki sighed and said, "I'll continue reading it. If things haven't improved in three days, you should seriously consider revising the story."
Lin Yuan didn't answer.
That evening, the chairman also called Lin Yuan and said, "Don't go out recently."
Lin Yuan: “…”
The chairman added: "If you must go out, remember to take the car I give you. That car is indeed bulletproof."
