The artistic value of classic literary works always stands the test of the market and time. When "The Return of the Condor Heroes" was first serialized, it caused a huge rebound for readers. However, when the full book was published and when this story slowly settled in the long river of time, what everyone remembers is more about Yang Guo's infatuation, Guo Jing and Huang Rong's deep love, Wang Chongyang and his grandmother-in-law, and even singing "What is love in the world" and the hateful and pitiful Li Mochou who ran towards the sea of ​​fire.

Mr. Jin once mentioned a concept when discussing novels. With the development of the times, one day after a long time, the concept of national territory may no longer exist, but the feelings between people are eternal, an inexhaustible source of creation for literary and artistic workers, and an eternal theme of literary and artistic works.

This is also one of the golden rules that Hollywood films adhere to. The universe is vast, time and space are boundless, and it goes from heaven to earth. Only love can connect everything!

The editors of "Jianglu" have now read the complete book "The Return of the Condor Heroes". They have witnessed Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu's love affair bit by bit. They know the pain of love, they know the sixteen-year appointment, and they know the sadness...

Compared to the scene where Xiaolongnu was humiliated, they remember more deeply the scene where Yang Guo chased the sun sixteen years later, remembering the scene where Yang Guo had gray hair overnight, and even more remembering the scene where Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu met again at the bottom of the valley after a heartless resounding grief.

One of the three girls Kang Lingyue, Qingjiao and Su Jin was one. When they saw Yang Guo jumping off the cliff and asked Xiaolongnu loudly, "Why are you not keeping your promise?", they all burst into tears. It was Wang Jianshan, and the two old men in the eyes were moist.

The charm of art remains unchanged in the tears of readers and audiences.

This is also the reason why several editors hinted that Liu Jingting's novels need to be launched in advance, because based on their experience, it can be easily judged that once readers read the complete story and see the wonderful plot like a sea of ​​thought behind, and have a glimpse of the whole story of this extraordinary love, they will feel relieved of the current plot.

Seeing everyone's appearance, Liu Jingting confirmed his thoughts and said, "Actually, in the initial plan, Xiaolongnu will be written to death, but considering the readers' ability to bear it, he still gave up this plan and designed the coincidence of the bottom of the ruthless valley."

This idea is indeed from Mr. Jin, but in the end, considering the readers' ability to bear and newspaper sales, the plan was cancelled.

"Luckily you gave up on this plan."

Liu Jingting laughed silently and said, "It is mainly because it makes sense in logic. If they were not in love with each other deeply, they would never jump into the valley one after another; if Xiaolongnu had not lived in the ancient tomb since childhood, she had a weak nature, and she could not live alone at the bottom of the valley for sixteen years; if Yang Guo was not in the most affectionate nature, she would not have been as constant as a lifetime of sixteen years, so, after all, they had such an ending in the end. It was determined by their personal character."

Everyone nodded secretly when they heard it. In fact, Liu Jingting didn't say it. When they saw Xiaolongnu living alone in the valley for 16 years, they subconsciously thought of the years she lived in the ancient tomb. Although there were many coincidences in the logic, the story could be completely self-consistent.

Xu Qing said: "So much, what are you planning to solve this problem? The faster the better. It is not only a magazine problem, but also the TV series we are doing."

Liu Jingting nodded and said, "I am not a dictator. Since everyone agrees that this is the most appropriate thing to do, then do it according to everyone's wishes."

Chang Youdao continued: "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms can be serialized in the main magazine, and there is no need to create a special issue."

Liu Jingting shook his head and said, "No need, give this position to potential authors. Well, everyone has recently planned a new topic."

Chang Youdao, Wang Jianshan and others were obviously stunned, and then they understood that they collectively forced the boss to finish the serialization early, and of course the boss also respected and gave them a task.

Kang Lingyue said: "Hey you..."

Liu Jingting smiled and said, "That's right, I'm so stingy."

Everyone had to be speechless.

Liu Jingting said again: "Since the popularity loss this time is so serious, why not make a newcomer competition? This should be the most effective way to restore popularity, right?"

"Newcomer competition, Lao Liu, do you mean, can we do a newcomer competition?"

"Well, so, everyone should prepare for this matter."

Everyone nodded and wrote a note in their notebooks, and no one questioned that Liu Jingting was deliberately making things difficult for everyone.

After the matter of the newcomer competition was confirmed, Su Jin asked: "So, how does the listing of "The Legend of Condor Heroes" work?"

Liu Jingting said: "Leave this to me first. I will tell you about the following things one by one."

"Um."

As November was about to end, Liu Jingting finally appeared on the microblog again.

"There was actually a bit beyond my expectations for everyone's fierce reaction. I saw everyone's signature proposal and received a joint letter from more than ten forum moderators. Overall, everyone's meaning is to "change the plot". Here I just reply to it. The plot cannot be changed, but out of respect for readers, I will share the content that should have been placed in the postscript with everyone in advance.

The original intention of the novel "The Divine Condor" is to try to "express the restraint of worldly ethics and customs on people's minds and behaviors through the role of Yang Guo, such as teacher-student love, such as chastity archways. There are many ethics in the past and that era, which were absolutely not tolerated by the world, but if you look at it from the perspective of modern people, you will feel that it is nothing great. Similarly, are some of the ideas we are currently insisting on equally meaningless in hundreds of years?

Then when it comes to Xiaolongnu's incident, let's talk about it directly. Yin Zhiping's arrangement is to shape and set off Yang Guo's contempt and disdain for the etiquette and law of the world. If you don't talk about it, I may not be able to accept it myself, but what is a novel? It's just a dream factory, a dream factory, a dream and an ideal place. Although we are not as great as Yang Guo, how can we be as good as Guo Jing, Chu Liuxiang, Xiao Shiyilang, and even Chen Jialuo?

To say that these things do not mean anything is to explain the idea. However, it is obvious that there is no strength to say these things, so it is better to do this. I will bet with you that I will launch the complete novel of "The Legend of Condor Heroes" in mid-December. The contents of the previous serialization will not be changed. If you read the complete novel, you will still stick to your current views. When "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is launched, all the first two million copies will be free."

Two million copies. All free!

If we calculate based on the scale of "Journey to the West", the free 2 million volumes of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" means that Liu Jingting will have to pay 40 to 50 million yuan for himself.

What a tone this is, does Liu Jingting actually have such great confidence?

As soon as this micro blog was released, it immediately attracted the attention of a large number of netizens. Some smart netizens took screenshots almost in seconds to leave evidence.

The relevant forum was quickly occupied by this news, and the limelight gradually overshadowed the Xiaolongnu Sect incident.

...

"What a marketing genius!"

President Qianhong's office. Lu Yichou blurted out when he saw Liu Jingting's micro blog. He then posted this screenshot to the work group and said: "In this way, he not only successfully diverted his attention, but also previewed the launch of "The Legend of Condor Heroes" and promoted "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which can be said to be a kill of three birds with one stone."

"But, the premise of doing this is to bear tens of millions of chips, right?"

"Isn't this easy? You carefully look at the words of his words. 'The whole person still sticks to his current views'. Have you noticed the keyword? The whole person, that is, as long as someone comes forward to accept his setting, the bet will be his win. After all, this is a must-win bet."

"I understand, it's indeed a genius."

At this time, the editorial team leader Kuang Heng intercepted Xue Muliang's micro blog and posted it to the group, saying, "Xue Muliang seems to highly respect Liu Jingting now."

Xue Muliang's blog pointed out: "With the omni-channel operation of copyright in the content field, one day, the free distribution of novels may not be a feasible idea. For example, the free delivery of books by Mr. Liu mentioned in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". On the surface, tens of millions of production fees are invested, but in this way, the publicity of novels is also huge. As long as the later film and television copyrights of this book can be completely gone, these tens of millions are simply not worth mentioning. Everyone knows that the budget for any major production movie is not worth tens of millions."

This screenshot made Qianhong's work group silent for a while. Only geniuses can understand geniuses. When others, including Lu Yichou, they thought that Liu Jingting made this bet was purely impulse or clever, but Xue Muliang saw a deeper mystery or "money prospect".

Did Liu Jingting firecrackers for no reason?

After coming here for a long time, Lu Yichou replied with a little frustrated: "It seems that there are really a lot we have to learn. Forget it, I'll just call Lao Gu."

...

"You are not serious, you can give me a book for free, two million?"

During the lunch break, Liu Jingting and his colleagues sat on the balcony to rest, and Xu Qing couldn't help but mention this topic.

"yes."

"Is there any...some trap? For example, if we want some of us to register some vests to show our support for you?"

"I'm not that bored. I just happened to talk about this issue. Let me tell you some of my recent thoughts."

Liu Jingting sat upright and said seriously: "The reason why I thought of this was actually inspired by my college roommate Dai Anqiao. He recently chatted with me and mentioned the issue of copyright derivatives in online literature. When it comes to adaptations of games, animation, peripherals and films, he read several statistics and pointed out that the copyright income of some top authors has exceeded subscription income, so he thought of using free content to attract consumers with other copyrights."

Wang Jianshan said: "The idea is indeed innovative, but the limitations seem to be quite large."

Liu Jingting nodded and said, "It is true. This operation plan is only suitable for individual top authors. For those niche or authors who do not have copyright, not to mention free, pirated copies can drag them down."

"But "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is different, because this novel itself is written for the TV series." Kang Lingyue understood a little.

"Yes, so I'm not worried about the final result at all. Even if I win the bet, I will still make 500,000 copies for free, or the book price is half a discount, which is originally a promotion story."

Everyone had to be impressed by Liu Jingting's insight again, but there was nothing we could do about this. If we couldn't stand at his height, our vision had objective limitations.

At this time, Lu Yichou's phone call came in.

Liu Jingting did not hide anything from Lu Yichou. He originally wanted to hear Lu Yichou's opinions, but Lu Yichou obviously had not done systematic thinking on this matter. After roughly understanding it, he hurriedly hung up the phone.

Chang Youdao looked at Liu Jingting and said, "Xue Muliang has sent us a friendly signal for the third time. I guess he can't wait to chat with you, Lao Liu."

"There is nothing to talk about. He may have misunderstood that we are the same type of people, but in fact it is not at all. Let him go."

...

A week before "The Return of the Condor Heroes" was about to be launched, in the early morning of December 5, Gong Chengen suddenly called Liu Jingting and informed him that he might want to marry Wang Qianqian.

"As long as we win the "Han Wu Emperor" this time, she will agree to marry me. Gu Shuai, what do you think?"

Liu Jingting was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that he had not seen that awkward girl for a long time.

"Gu Shuai!"

"Haha, then you can start preparing, congratulations."

"I think so too. Not to mention defeating Zheng Yu, it is definitely not difficult to win Haiyang."

After talking to Gong Chengen, who was in a state of unstable mood, he was about to throw away his cell phone and go to bed when the phone rang again. Liu Jingting frowned and thought it was Gong Chengen again. He reached out to touch the phone and asked, "I said..."

"Hi, Liu Jingting." Wang Qianqian's voice came from there.

"Wang Qianqian?"

"Yes, it's me, you haven't gone to bed yet?"

"Uh-huh."

"I don't know if you know, I'm going to marry Gong Chengen."

"Yes, he told me just now, congratulations."

"Are you happy for us?"

"Absolutely, I'm very happy that lovers will finally get married."

"So too, by the way, don't you come to be his best man?"

"Okay, this probably won't run away."

"When will you get married to Yang Lilu?"

"ah?"

"Aren't you getting married? It's impossible for a daughter to never marry you for the rest of her life, so, you got married when you were?"

"That's right, her mother gave me two difficult problems, meaning that only by doing those two things can you fully recognize me."

"What's up?"

"Oscars and June 1st TV Series Awards."

"It's great to have a mother."

“…”

"So let's do it first, see you at the wedding."

...

On December 12, "The Return of the Condor Heroes" was launched. Not long ago, Liu Jingting and "The Condor Heroes" were still in the wave of national boycott. In just over a dozen days, the novel "The Condor Heroes" was released, and all the first 1.6 million copies were sold out in the morning.

The significance behind Liu Jingting's gambling game will not be mentioned for now, at least the purpose of the advance publicity has been achieved.

The second batch of 2 million copies of printing began to be printed after the first printing was distributed.

The strong wind blowing from the wings of the "Divine Eagle" will inevitably sweep the whole country again.
Chapter completed!
