Cheerful newsboys with cloth bags on their backs ran quickly through the streets, villas and mansions, skillfully stuffing the newspapers ordered by the wealthy into the cracks of doors or placing them in newspaper boxes.
The stalls selling newspapers on the street are also busy. People who go to work will buy newspapers to receive the new information of the day, so as to use them as conversation materials to communicate with colleagues after dinner.
In the milk tea shop, a large group of people who like to chat gathered together and talked about the exciting news in major newspapers today. They said that a female ghost appeared in Wo Hop Shek Cemetery in New Territories recently. She was very beautiful, with long hair and red clothes. She took a taxi at night.
The money given for the car was ghost money; it was also said that a murder case of dismemberment occurred in Tin Shui Wai, and a strange black cat appeared at the scene. The black cat could actually imitate human speech...
Nowadays, newspapers and magazines in Hong Kong, in order to attract attention and promote sales, add fuel to these bizarre "stories" and hype them, which shows no professional ethics at all.
But if you think about it carefully, Hong Kong is such a small place and has more than 200 newspapers. In order to survive, it will inevitably come up with some "breaking" news by any means. If you can sell the newspaper, it is a victory. Who will care about this news?
true and false.
At this moment, a person suddenly hit the case with a newspaper in his hand and exclaimed: "The stories you told are so weak! Read this novel, the man with the white paper and the rat friend, it's so weird!"
Everyone was startled by him, and some couldn't help but crane their necks to take a look, looking shocked: "Uh, why is it "Oriental Daily"?"
"Is there a new story serialized in this paper?"
"It's not just a series of new stories, it's simply a wonder in the world! It's enough to shock the world!" The man holding the newspaper was so excited that his eyes were shining.
People became even more curious, so more people came over to read the new story serialized above. The title alone shocked them! The content of the story followed...
"Don't squeeze in! If you want to see it, buy it yourself!"
"I want to know how that big rat managed to get the ocean in its mouth!"
"How much does a newspaper cost? I wonder how to buy it!"
Curiosity is the most basic attribute of people!
What's more, "Ghost Blows Out the Lamp" written by Shi Zhijian is extraordinary in terms of suspense, and in this era can most arouse people's "reading rate"!
then--
The bookstall over at Lame Dragon is busy!
"Excuse me, I want a newspaper! I don't want Ming Pao, I want Oriental Daily!"
"Get a copy of Oriental Daily! Hurry up, I can't wait!"
While Lame Dragon's companion was dumbfounded, the three hundred copies of "Oriental Daily" that Lame Dragon had forwarded were sold out in an instant!
My companion could no longer laugh at this time, and reacted immediately, "Tick, I must get a lot of this newspaper tomorrow! We must not let the lame dragon make all the money!"
At this time, Lame Dragon is planning to increase the purchase volume of "Oriental Daily" from 300 to 500 copies tomorrow! As long as "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" continues to be serialized, this newspaper will definitely become a big hit!
…
Xu Sanshao also reads the newspaper every morning, euphemistically speaking, he cares about current affairs and improves his information acumen!
In fact, what Xu Sanshao reads the most in the newspapers every day is the gossip news, about starlets cheating, rich people encountering immortals, etc.
Of course, in order to show support for his friend Shi Zhijian, Xu Sanshao was one of the few people who paid to book the annual magazine of "Oriental Daily".
It can be said that the "Oriental Daily" has been able to sustain itself and has not collapsed until now, and Xu Sanshao's reservation is "indispensable"!
"Master, your bird's nest is ready!" the maid brought the bird's nest to Mr. Xu.
Xu Sanshao lazily picked up the newspaper and read it one by one.
The first thing he picked up was "Ming Pao", but for him, reading "Ming Pao" was mainly for "criticism"!
Xu Sanshao read Jin Yong's "The Deer and the Cauldron" serialized in a very comfortable way with a critical gaze, and couldn't help but spit out two words: "It smells so good!"
Seeing the maid looking at him in surprise, she hurriedly explained: "I mean the boiled bird's nest, not this bullshit newspaper! Hmph, you dare to go against A Jian, this newspaper is really low-grade! Despicable!"
As he spoke, he glanced twice at the story in Ming Pao.
The maid rolled her eyes, which happened to be seen by Mr. Xu. Mr. Xu felt that he wanted to support the newspaper of his best friend Shi Zhijian, so he picked up the "Oriental Daily".
Xu Sanshao originally had no hope. He thought that the only one who could compete with Jin Yong was "Wesley" serialized by Ni Jian. As for Gu Long's "Happy Heroes", he didn't like it.
But--
Xu Sanshao was quickly attracted by the new novel "Ghost Blows Out the Lamp" serialized above: "When people light candles and ghosts blow out lanterns, it is a secret of the legendary gold-touching sect. It means that when entering an ancient tomb, first go to the southeast corner.
You have to light a candle to open the coffin. If the candle goes out, you must exit quickly without taking anything. According to legend, this is a contract between the living and the dead made by the ancestor. It has been passed down for thousands of years and cannot be broken..."
Xu Sanshao was attracted!
His eyes were strangely trapped in the vortex like many people who read this novel...
I don’t know how long it’s been!
"Master, what's wrong with you? The bird's nest is already cold, do you want to warm it up again?" The maid couldn't help but remind her when she saw her young master holding the bird's nest and reading the newspaper stupidly, as if he was possessed by an evil spirit.
Only then did Xu Sanshao wake up. He couldn't help but get excited and hurriedly looked for the name of the author of this novel. Finally he saw six words: This book is the best in the world!
"What an arrogant name!" Xu Sanshao praised, "I don't know who this Mr. Ba Sing is?"
Suddenly, Xu Sanshao's expression became very strange, "There are not many people in this world who dare to be so arrogant and boundless. Except for that boy Shi Zhijian - pick, it can't be him, right?"
Xu Sanshao was stunned when he thought of this!
…
"Oriental Daily" serialized "Ghost Blows Out the Lamp" and it caused a stir in Hong Kong on the same day!
"Oriental Daily", which originally had a daily sales volume of only 3,000 copies and was hanging on for dear life, suddenly sold over 10,000 copies that day!
This shocked many colleagues who were waiting to see the bankruptcy of "Oriental Daily"!
What's going on?
What went wrong?
When they found out that it was because a new novel was serialized in this newspaper, everyone was stunned.
It is not uncommon for a novel to save a newspaper.
I recall that when Jin Yong first started Ming Pao, he almost went bankrupt due to poor sales. Later, when Jin Yong serialized "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" in his own newspaper, Xiangjiang Paper Guigui turned around in one fell swoop!
Now, the same story is happening again!
It’s incredible!
Of course, some people think that this is just a flash in the pan! After all, there is only one golden sword in the world! The reputation of being the leader in the literary world is not just for nothing!
"Maybe, it's just one day! The sales volume of this newspaper will soon be brought back to its original state!"
But the facts did not develop according to these people's ideas!
The next day, as "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" continued to be serialized in "Oriental Daily", the sales volume of this newspaper directly exceeded 30,000!
On the third day, it exceeded 40,000!
The fourth day, the fifth day, the sixth day-——
Something no one expected happened!
On this day, the sales volume of "Oriental Daily" exceeded 80,000! It was close to that of "Ming Pao"!
"Ghost Blowing the Lamp" occupies an innate advantage, especially in terms of suspense creation and follow-up reading. It is a masterpiece that stands out from many online literature in the past! In this era, it is simply a "phenomenal" existence!
Countless people are fascinated by this novel and look forward to the article update day and night! They want to know how Hu Bayi robbed the tomb and what kind of story there is in the ancient city of Jingjue!
It can be said that the most powerful thing about online novels is that they can make people feel as uncomfortable as being addicted to drugs!
At this moment, all those in Hong Kong who like to read novels have been poisoned by "Ghost Blows Out the Lamp"!
So much so that the mysterious author of this novel "is the one who dominates the world" and became a blockbuster!
Countless people are speculating on how talented this man is?
Otherwise, how could you write such a wonderful tomb robbing story?
Sing!
When this book comes out, the world will sing!
So, who is this "original and world-famous singer"?
All Hong Kong people are guessing!
Why was it that it was unknown before, but now it has suddenly emerged?!
Ba Chang, who are you?
…
"Who is this world's most popular singer?"
In the "Ming Pao" conference room, the boss Jin Yong sat in front of the conference table, looking around.
Sima Ling, Wo Longsheng and others did not dare to make eye contact with Jin Yong because they did not know the answer.
To be precise, in the past few days, they, a group of wealthy intellectuals, have been distracted by this "world-beating singer". They were dumbfounded by his creation of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" and were shocked in their hearts. There are such articles in this world?!
The content of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" is weird and strange, and the writing style is all-encompassing! Even martial arts masters like them had to secretly give high-fives in admiration!
In particular, the author is excellent at setting up suspense and creating a terrifying atmosphere. The more you read, the more interesting it becomes and you can’t bear to put it down! You want to read it in one go until you know the final answer!
Among many martial arts novel writers, Sima Ling also likes to set up suspense in his novels, but compared with "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", his suspense is nothing! No, not even a fart!
"Ahem, I'm sorry, Mr. Cha! Until now, we haven't found out who this world-famous singer is!" Sima Ling lowered his head and said.
"Yes, this person seems to have appeared out of nowhere. He just dropped a "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" and it was earth-shattering! Many of our readers have been robbed by him!" Wo Longsheng also said.
"Is there no solution?" Jin Yong took off his glasses and wiped them with a soft cloth and said, "Now Oriental Daily is chasing our Ming Pao with the sales volume of a novel by this person! It's a holiday, maybe it's still...
To surpass us! Now, we have to do something!"
Seeing how worried Jin Yong was, Sima Ling took a deep breath and said, "With so many of us, as long as we work together, can't we beat the world's most powerful person?"
"Yes, we all came to Hong Kong from the treasure island to seek development! If we don't make some achievements, won't we be laughed at by others?" Others also agreed.
Jin Yong's eyes lit up and he asked everyone: "So, can you also write such a work about tomb robbing?"
Seal your throat with one sentence!
Sima Ling and others were collectively mute!
The wealthy families who were so aggressive just now and wanted to show off their achievements to everyone were all silent!
You know how much you are capable of!
They all make a living by selling words! I have long been fond of those martial arts routines, where a young hero suffers hardships, jumps off a cliff and survives a catastrophe, meets an expert and teaches him peerless martial arts, and then returns to the martial arts world to be awesome!
Whether it's Wo Longsheng's "Flying Swallows Startled the Dragon", Sima Ling's "Sword Sea and Eagle Yang", or Zhuge Qingyun's "Thunderbolt Rose", almost all of them are in this routine!
Asking them to write a shocking novel like "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" that doesn't follow the usual path and takes an eccentric approach will cost them their lives!
Who is Jin Yong? Just by looking at the faces of everyone, you can tell that these people are unreliable! They all just want to make quick money and have no outstanding creative talent!
Forget about people like them, Jin Yong even asked himself that even he himself could not write an article like "Ghost Blowing the Lamp". The reason was very simple: he did not have enough "knowledge reserve"!
This is not because Jin Yong is modest, but a fact!
The reason why Ba Chang was able to write "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" in his previous life was not only because of his strong imagination, but also because of the powerful "network" ecology! Any knowledge materials can be found in the online world! Back then, Ba Chang wanted to
To write this book, I consulted countless information, and it became famous!
But now, without the Internet, you have to go to major libraries to find information. How can these wealthy intellectuals have the energy and time?
Jin Yong has a lot of beautiful articles on his chest, but no matter how powerful he is, he can't compare to the huge reserve of online knowledge in his previous life!
Because of this, although Jin Yong is sharp enough, he still cannot write such a stunning masterpiece as "Ghost Blows Out the Lamp" due to the limitations of the times!
Seeing that the morale at the scene was low, Jin Yong could only sigh and said: "I am the best singer in the world! I really am the best singer!"
Sima Ling and others looked at each other, why do they feel that Mr. Jin Yong’s words were a curse?!
Unable to help themselves, everyone looked at the female CEO who was as cold as ice and as beautiful as a peach and plum, who was sitting next to Jin Yong and had never spoken a word!
Li Xuexuan played with a golden pen in her hand, but her eyes were focused on the signature of the author of the newspaper "Ghost Blowing the Lamp".
She felt the questioning eyes of everyone, so she raised her head and glanced at everyone.
Sima Ling and others felt that her eyes were extremely sharp and they did not dare to look at her.
Li Xuexuan calmly picked up the coffee next to him and took a sip, and then said slowly: "I have sent people to investigate this author! The answer will be known soon! Then I will pay a high price to poach him
Come here and use it for me!"
Bang bang bang!
Everyone applauded!
"Miss Li is still sharp!"
"Yes, there is no one in this world that cannot be bought with money!"
Everyone thinks this is the best solution!
Since you can't fight, then use money to bribe you! Although the method is a bit despicable, it is the most practical and effective!
Even Jin Yong has to admit that this is the best solution at the moment! If we want to stop "Oriental Daily" from soaring to the sky, the best way is to deal with this ghost "World Dominant"!
While everyone was applauding and cheering, there was a knock on the door. Wen Zedun came in and said in a panic: "Miss Li, I have found out! I know who the world's most popular singer is!"
Everyone looked at Wen Zeton in a hurry.
Li Xuexuan calmly took a sip of coffee: "Who is it?"
"Shi Zhijian!"
"Poof!" Li Xuexuan spit out a sip of coffee!
Looking at Jin Yong and others, their mouths opened wide as if they were seeing a ghost!
