Speaking of the people who have come to her door recently, LuXi really has a lot to say, because basically it's LuChen's fault.
One of them made her sister particularly speechless.
Around the Spring Festival, reporters from many media came to the studio one after another. They didn't come to interview Lu Chen, but to inquire about the news of "Remembering the Present and the Past".
"Remembering the Present and the Past" was the pseudonym used by Lu Chen to publish "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer".
"The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" was first published on Waves and had a certain influence. But because it couldn't sign a contract with the website, it was only spread by readers in a small circle.
But in November last year, Shanhai Publishing House officially published "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer", with a total of five volumes and one million words. According to the publishing contract signed by both parties, the first printing of the hardcover edition was 100,000 copies, and the first printing of the paperback edition was 200,000 copies. The total number of the first printing reached 1.5 million copies!
For the private Shanhai Publishing House, publishing "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" with such a high standard was also a big risk for them. If the signing party was not Lu Chen Studio who owned the copyright, they would not have dared to be so bold.
At that time, Lu Chen Studio also made a recommendation for this series of books.
As a result, this novel with the theme of "New Modern Wuxia" caused a great response in the market. Through the tireless marketing and promotion of Shanhai Publishing House and the praise of readers, it had become a best-seller at the end of last year.
Wuxia novels were not a new thing. As early as the Qing Dynasty, there was a classical masterpiece "Three Heroes and Five Gallants", and its earlier origin could be traced back to the Biography of Ranger and Assassin in the Han Dynasty.
In the modern Republic of China, people were liberated from the shackles of feudalism, and various schools of thought poured into China. The newspaper industry and the publishing industry were unprecedentedly prosperous. Wuxia novels also rose suddenly, and they were deeply loved by people with their unique chivalrous spirit. Wuxia cases and short fight storytelling were very popular at that time.
In the 1970s and 1980s, a group of Wuxia novelists emerged in Hong Kong and Taiwan. They inherited and developed on the basis of the previous Wuxia novels, and gave birth to such famous contemporary Wuxia novels as "Legend of the Mad Swordsman" and "Sword in the Sky", and so on. Therefore, there were also Wuxia movies and TV series.
But in the 1990s, Wuxia novels and Wuxia movies declined, but they were not cut off.
Nowadays, online novels were very popular, and many fantasy and fantasy stories also contained the shadow of wuxia novels.
The Smiling, Proud Wanderer was undoubtedly a very special work. Its story was far more exciting than the traditional Wuxia novels. The plot was full of ups and downs, which was more suitable for modern people. It was not as bizarre as the online fantasy novels, which gave people a refreshing feeling.
Some critics gave The Smiling, Proud Wanderer the Swordsman the title of "the pioneer of the new school of Wuxia", asserting that there would be more books of the same genre appearing in the market.
As of today, the first edition of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer had been sold out, no matter if it was the hardcover edition or the paperback edition. Shan Hai Publishing House had printed an additional 300,000 copies of the second edition, and the third edition was also planned.
"The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" had stirred up a new Wuxia trend in the book market. Shan Hai Publishing House naturally made a lot of money, and its reputation was so good, so it naturally attracted a lot of media attention.
After reading The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, many readers wanted to know the identity of the author and whether he was writing a new book. The related blogs and forums were in full swing.
Therefore, many media got the news and wanted to dig out the story behind this best-selling Wuxia novel.
As a result, the reporters first ran into a wall in Shan Hai Publishing House. In fact, Shan Hai Publishing House was also very curious about the author. They once wanted to invite the author to do a book signing activity, but they were politely declined by Lu Chen Studio.
"Remember Now and Ancient" signed all the copyrights and agency rights to Lu Chen Studio. He was very mysterious. He didn't even have a blog, and no information about him could be found on the Internet.
Therefore, the reporters had to go to Lu Chen Studio to find out the truth. Of course, Lu Xi knew about it, but she couldn't sell Lu Chen's secret. She had to refuse them with the reason that the author himself didn't want to contact the media.
"Look at what you have done!"
Speaking of this, the elder sister was full of resentment. Obviously, she had been harassed by the media. "Playing mysterious …"
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Isn't it good? Playing mysterious is actually a very good marketing method! "
No one was omniscient and omnipotent. Lu Chen not only made original music, but also wrote TV and movie scripts, and also acted in and even directed, which gave people the feeling that he was omnipotent.
Fame was enough for him. He didn't need to add the title of "Wuxia novelist" to show off. Therefore, "Remember Now and Ancient" was destined to be mysterious all the time. It would not be fun to uncover the mystery now.
And The Smiling, Proud Wanderer was the beginning of Lu Chen's great Wuxia IP. It won such a great success in the publishing market, which also made him full of confidence.
"I will finish writing and publish the second book within this year. The movie and TV version of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer can also be put on the agenda. Of course, it will be after the release of A Chinese Ghost Story and the completion of the shooting of You from the Star."
Lu Chen calculated. Not considering other projects, his work schedule was basically full this year.
From this point of view, it was time and necessary for his and Chen Fei 'er's studios to merge.
Lu Xi also admired Lu Chen. "Then continue to play if you like!"
At 8 o 'clock that night, Lu Chen Studio and Chen Fei' er Studio's official vows on Waves Blog released a photo at the same time. The content of the photo was very simple, just one hand holding the other hand, and the background was blurred.
And the title of the new blog was three words: Together.
The fans of the official vows of the two studios were far less than the personal blogs of Lu Chen and Chen Fei 'er, but such a fanciful title and accompanying photo were released at the same time, and immediately caused a huge sensation in their fan circle.
Big news, big event!
The comments on Waves Blog were crazy.
"Wow! My Chen and my Fei are registered to be married? "
"This is the pace of making the headlines. Congratulations to my Chen and my Fei!"
"Although I want to express my congratulations, my heart is sour, and I feel like crying."
"Together, together! Together! Together! "
"Finally, they are really together. Congratulations!"
Most of the fans thought that the two were going to take the last step, and their love had been cultivated to fruition.
There were also a small number of fans who were sour and sad, and their feelings were very complicated.
However, they all guessed wrong!
