Fang Sihai frowned and said, "The author has said it himself. This is a tomb-robbing novel, which is different from the popular stories on the market. What can you tell after just reading two chapters?"
"Yes! I listen to you, let's continue watching." Duan Rongci smiled and did not talk back. He firmly believed in his feelings.
As the deputy general manager of Tang Dynasty Publishing House, Duan Rongci has been in the literary world for more than ten years and has rich experience.
As for whether a novel is good or not, just by looking at the beginning, Duan Rongci can judge its quality with great confidence. Qinglian Sword Fairy's first novel "Looking for Qin" is indeed unexpected. The beginning alone makes him feel like it.
He obtained the treasure, but he always felt that it was a wrong move.
Without the time-travel plot, Duan Rongci felt that "Xun Qin Ji" would not be very readable in terms of storytelling alone.
Therefore, Duan Rongci feels that the biggest reason why "Xun Qin Ji" is so popular comes from its creativity. Once it loses its creativity, "Xun Qin Ji" becomes an ordinary martial arts book on the market.
Now it seems that "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: The Ancient City" obviously lacks creativity!
The Green Lotus Sword Immortal that was touted by many people was far from as magical as people imagined.
Therefore, the other party always broke the balance in the industry and offered Qinglian Sword Fairy a 31% royalty rate in order to compete for the publishing rights. Duan Rongci deeply disapproved of it, and even felt that Fang Sihai not only ignored him this time, but also destroyed the industry.
The rules have had some bad effects.
In the office, there are many people who share the same ideas with Duan Rongci.
But all of them remained silent.
On the one hand, they think what Mr. Duan said makes sense, on the other hand, they feel that Qinglian Sword Fairy, who is rumored to be the master of martial arts in Hong Kong, should not be so weak in creative ability...
Everyone looked at each other in shock, and finally had no choice but to continue watching.
When I saw the protagonist Hu Bayi appear, I came into view.
When I saw Hu Bayi beginning to study the fragments of the "Sixteen-Character Yin-Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique" handed down from his ancestors...
When I saw Hu Bayi and his friend Wang Kaixuan walking into the ancient tomb in the mountains...
Apart from the steady sound of breathing, there was no other noise in the room.
"Don't tell me, it's quite impressive when you look at it."
For a long time, Wu Shaobo rubbed his chin and said with a smile: "Hu Bayi is of the same age group as us after all. I can vividly remember the scenes described in the story. The most important thing is that I really want to see it."
What Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang gained from this tomb...Am I a little dark?"
Fang Sihai raised his head and smiled: "It's not that you have a dark psychology, but this storyline has aroused people's desire for knowledge. Human nature is like this, but the writing in this novel is more real and closer to life.
…”
Hearing this, other people also agreed.
"I don't think this book is as bad as Mr. Duan said. Instead, I prefer to read this type of suspense novel. Tomb robbing has always been a topic that is strictly prohibited in China. Li Qing can think of this and dare to add a little bit of fantasy content, which makes it more interesting.
The whole novel is full of readability. The beginning is well-founded, and as far as I know, the official position of Captain Mojin also appeared more than a thousand years ago..."
"The first two chapters are indeed nothing to read, but they set the tone for the atmosphere of the entire novel. Otherwise, when Hu Bayi goes to the countryside and enters the tomb, it would not be able to seduce the sense of anticipation and tension in the readers' hearts.
...As expected, he is worthy of being the author of "Looking for Qin". Even if he doesn't write martial arts, he can still write this modern novel with gusto."
"If you have the patience, you can really watch "Ghost Blowing the Lamp". This novel has a strong sense of imagery. I think it is very suitable for filming..."
Although Duan Rongci felt that the expressions of these colleagues were a bit exaggerated, it was undeniable that the writing of "The Ghost Blowing the Lamp: The Wonderful Ancient City" was indeed readable, but it was not as unbearable as he had said before.
But even though it was a little better than expected, Duan Rongci did not easily change his first impression.
He always felt that the novel was bland and not worth the high price of 31% royalty rate.
However, when he saw the protagonist Hu Bayi breaking into the Japanese Kwantung Army fortress, when he saw various indescribable weird things such as ghost blowing lanterns and red ducks, his descriptions were well-founded and convincing...
His originally slightly irritable mood gradually began to change, as if he was thrown on the top of a wave, rising and falling, up and down, amid the ups and downs of the story.
"After the reform and opening up, activities such as archaeological protection of cultural relics that had been forced to interrupt have been restarted again. Especially in the past three years, it has entered a peak period of archaeology, and a large number of ancient tombs and relics have surfaced. Antique collection exchanges
The trade is also extremely hot, and various tomb-robbing gangs, large and small, have taken advantage of the situation and dug up the mounds of soil whenever they see them, especially in Hebei, Henan, Hunan and other places, and it is likely to become more and more intense.
Since the discovery of the Loulan River tombs in the border area, people seem to have suddenly woken up. In the great desert of the border area, there was the once glorious Silk Road, the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions along the Peacock River, Huhu, Loulan, Milan, and Niya.
, Luntai, Pulei, Gumo, Xiye... these adventurers' paradises, countless treasures and prosperity are covered by the vast yellow sand.
For a time, countless expedition teams, archaeological teams, and tomb robbers rushed into the Taklimakan Desert to hunt for treasures.
This is the second wave of exploration after the desert exploration boom in the early 19th century. However, for most inexperienced explorers, this vast desert is just like the famous Swedish explorer Sven Hedin’s explanation of Taklimakan.
, that is a place where there is no return. The Sea of Death, hence its name..."
"Recently, a Chinese-American came forward to provide full financial support to an archaeological team. The archaeological team is led by a famous archaeological professor. Currently, this archaeological expedition team is still undergoing preliminary preparations. They still need to find an experienced archaeologist.
There is also a lack of a team leader with experience in desert survival, and a capable person who knows the art of Feng Shui and stargazing, because most of the archaeological team members are nerds who chew books. Without a team leader, they will definitely not be able to get out after entering the desert.
Without experts who understand Tianxing Feng Shui, they can't find the ruins, ancient tombs and the like..."
Unknowingly, time is passing quickly in the office.
An hour later, when everyone saw Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang sneaking into the archaeological team to search for the lost ancient city in the border desert, everyone could no longer control their moods and became excited.
"Oh, we finally got to the point..."
"What kind of place is Jingjue Ancient City? I have never heard of it before?"
"Each of the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions has given birth to a splendid civilization, but now it has turned into a piece of yellow sand, and dozens of civilization treasures are buried deep under the desert..."
"It is indeed a paradise for adventurers, but because the environment is too harsh, black sandstorms are often encountered. Some people never come back after entering..."
Everyone was communicating in low voices with great emotion, discussing various knowledge points that appeared in "Ghost Blowing Out the Lamp". At this time, there was no longer any controversy about whether this novel was a classic.
It can make them stand here motionless for an hour. Isn't this kind of work worth promoting?
Coupled with Li Qing's fame, "Ghost Blowing the Lamp: The Ghostly City" definitely deserves the 31% royalty rate.
Even Duan Rongci, the deputy general manager of Tang Dynasty Publishing House, stopped talking.
He was obviously also deeply attracted by the plot of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp". He was bent over and looking at the screen, his expression seemed to be reading more seriously than anyone else, and even his face couldn't help but fall into a look of obsession... -
