    Two days later, the editor-in-chief Wang came to pick up the follow-up manuscript of "Dynasty Rise".  Le Jing's manuscripts for "The Rise of the Dynasty" are handed in almost once a week. He will write 20,000 to 30,000 manuscripts every week and hand them over to the "Beijing Novel News" newspaper, and then the newspaper office will publish a chapter in the newspaper every day.  It is precisely because of his habit that "Dynasty Rise" did not open the skylight during the few days he was in prison.

    Le Jing took the opportunity to hand over the reader's reply letter he had written to Editor Wang, so that the newspaper could forward the letter.  It stands to reason that editor-in-chief Wang is also a department boss. He doesn¡¯t talk about daily affairs but it¡¯s almost the same. Trivial matters such as collecting manuscripts and forwarding readers¡¯ letters to authors should be in charge of errands.  .

    But Editor-in-Chief Wang is willing to go to Lejing, and he will be angry if anyone comes to compete with him for this job.  It's all because "Dynasty Rise" is so good-looking!  Ever since he followed the serialization of "Dynasty Rise", he has not thought about food and tea every day, even the newly adopted starling has no taste, and has been scratching his heart and lungs all day long, curious about the follow-up plot of "Dynasty Rise".  So every time the author is due, he runs faster than anyone else, just wanting to take advantage of being an editor to read the next plot first.

    Even if it is not the receiving day, he will often come to Lejing in the name of sending letters from readers, hoping to take a peek at the author's manuscript box from time to time to relieve his pain when chasing updates.

    So this time Le Jing just handed over the manuscript, Editor-in-Chief Wang didn't even bother to say anything, and started reading eagerly.  So Le Jing saw that Editor-in-Chief Wang had a serious face at first, and then his brows stretched out, and his face beamed with joy, as happy as drinking a bowl of hot mutton soup in the winter goose feather and heavy snow.

    "I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it!" Editor-in-chief Wang looked at Le Jing with bright eyes, "Sure enough, only a good man like Xu Wangmu, who is both wise and courageous, and who has compassion for the people, can save Dahua from the wind and rain, and the mountains and rivers are broken!"

    Le Jing: ?  ?  ?

    However, Editor-in-Chief Wang looked at him expectantly, and asked, "Xu Wangmu has proved his strength through this successful defense of the city and defeated the Yehu army. Next, the imperial court should issue a recruitment order to recruit him as a  Are you an official?"

    He let go of his thoughts, and imagined with fascination on his face: "With Xu Wangmu's intelligence and strategy, he will definitely win the emperor's trust in him and compose a good story about the relationship between the emperor and his ministers. In the future, history books will definitely record that he led the army to fight back.  Yehu invaded the army and saved the great feats of the Dahua Dynasty, which was in turmoil!" Speaking of this, his face turned red with excitement, leaving a name in history is the ultimate dream of all scholars, and this is also his die-hard fan of "Rise of the Dynasty"  The most perfect ending imagined for the protagonist Xu Wangmu.

    Lejing:

    It¡¯s no wonder that editor-in-chief Wang has such associations. Take ¡°Water Margin¡±, the representative of rebellious novels, as an example. The heroes of Liangshan drink big bowls and eat meat.  Those who become monks become monks, those who die in battle die in battle, and those who leave leave, the ending is dismal.  Although most of the Zhao'an School did not end well, such an ending also exposed the author Shi Naian (who was once a court order official) and the overall concept of society at that time.  Affected by thousands of years of autocratic monarchy and Confucianism, China's princes and aristocrats, down to traffickers and pawns, have been indoctrinated with a piece of "common sense"-to learn literature and martial arts, and to live with the emperor's family.  To put it bluntly, you study and practice martial arts in order to become an official.

    Although it is a new era now, and the president is on the head instead of the emperor, but this concept that has lasted for thousands of years has already become part of the cultural blood of China.  Even in modern times, many older generations only think that only civil servants are serious professions.

    Therefore, it is quite normal for Wang Xiguan to have such thoughts.  Le Jing can also imagine how terrified many readers would be when they found out that Xu Wangmu pointed the tip of the knife at Dahua and cut off the vitality of the Dahua Dynasty in one fell swoop.

    Out of consideration for the old man's fragile heart, Le Jing just smiled and said: "When the plot progresses to that point, you will know."

    After reading the new draft, the satisfied editor-in-chief Wang also proposed to Le Jing another important purpose of his visit this time.

    "Published?" Le Jing was a little surprised: "So soon?"

    "Actually, our newspaper office should have contacted the publishing house to publish your article long ago. It's just that Mr. Xie, the editor-in-chief of our newspaper office, wanted to continue serializing it for a while, so as to first establish the author's reputation, so it has been delayed until now. Your "Dynasty Rise"  "The serialization has now reached more than 200,000 words, and the plot has also reached a small climax. It's time to publish the book while the iron is hot!"

    When the two were discussing publishing matters, Yang Jinglun came to the door.

    The fact that Le Jing contributed to the two newspapers under the pseudonyms of night watchman and Lin Zhongqi respectively can deceive the readers, but not the editors.  In the beginning, Le Jing wanted to hide this matter.??

    Of course, this is not to promote the theory that reading is useless.  Because those top cultural elites have chosen to study the history of the scriptures, some wily people, such as Sima Guang, the "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" written by this veteran official is a study of political thick and dark science and the emperor's mind.  Occasionally, there are some amazingly talented people, such as Wang Yangming, who promotes his philosophy of conscience by writing articles, and has many disciples.

    The contempt for popular novels in the mainstream cultural circle was not improved until the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China.

    The so-called division of serious literature and popular novels actually came from the West.  Modern literature in China has just started. Although influenced by the vernacular movement, it is now popular to write vernacular novels, but China is too deeply influenced by the West, and the mainstream cultural circles all pay attention to tragedy.  They think that tragedy has artistic value.  Therefore, in the eyes of many people, the night watchman who writes serious tragedies is naturally more powerful than Lin Zhongqi who writes cool novels.  Coupled with the fact that "Literature News" is already a stronghold of serious literature, it's not surprising that Yang Jinglun likes "Dynasty Rise" and sneaks around like a deep closet.

    Yang Jinglun now admires Le Jingna.  In his opinion, Mr. Li has not only written serious literary works such as "Memoirs of a Famous Prostitute", "A Dog's Eyes Sees Low", and "The Last Person Who Doesn't Take Drugs", he can also write such serious literary works as "The Rise of a Dynasty".  Such unrestrained and witty popular novels in the market place can be freely used by switching between different writing styles, which can really be called everyone.

    At the same time, he also felt a sense of crisis. In these days when Mr. Wang has not yet decided on a new series, the serialization of "Dynasty Rise" has not stopped for a single issue!  What if the master switched to the embrace of "Peking Fiction News" because the night watchman's pen name was banned?  !

    Although he also likes "Dynasty Rise", but out of the mentality of a fan, he still hopes that Mr. Li can continue to create serious literature.  Because only in this way can Mr. Li squeeze into the mainstream literary circle and gain a higher social status.

    Because of this worry in his heart, Yang Jinglun quickly told Le Jing the reason for his trip, regardless of the presence of editors from other newspapers: "Sir, good news! Just now a film company from Shanghai contacted our newspaper and wanted to  Make your Memoirs of a Courtesan a movie!"

    The transitional chapter is relatively stuck. After this chapter is stuck, I should be able to write more in the next chapter_(:3¡¹¡Ï)_

    And the six o'clock update I mentioned feels like a flag. If I haven't updated at six o'clock in the future, you can either wait until midnight to check it out, or wait for me, just come and check it out the next day~>_(Remember  Website URL: www.hlnovel.com
