As a best-selling author of Hua Xia novels, Li Tianming's book launch was very lively. Dozens of media came to interview him.
In addition to Li Tianming, there were several higher-ups of the Four Seas Publishing House. Listening to the host's introduction, even the vice president of the Four Seas Publishing House, Huang Zhenhua, was cheering for it. It could be seen that the Four Seas Publishing House attached great importance to this fantasy novel.
At the beginning, the reporters' questions were all about Li Tianming's novel. Xiao Yunhai was not interested at all. Until a tabloid reporter asked about Xiao Yunhai's "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang", Xiao Yunhai began to read it seriously.
"Mr. Li Tianming, have you heard of the Wuxia novel 'The Legend of Chu Liuxiang'? Previously, you said that Wuxia was dead, but this novel sold 80,000 copies in two days. What do you think about this? "
Li Tianming frowned and smiled, "Who's the author of this novel? I've been busy these days, so I don't know much about this novel. "
"The author is a newcomer, called the Outsider."
"Then he's quite good. However, I once said that Wuxia was dead, and I still think so. Occasionally writing a best-selling Wuxia novel does not mean that Wuxia will come back to life. Without a deep foundation in Chinese studies, without outstanding creativity, without a large number of hardcore fans, wanting to save the declining Wuxia is tantamount to a fool's dream. This Outsider is very courageous, and I admire him. However, the general trend is the general trend. One person is absolutely unable to resist or change the trend of history. I changed from Wuxia to Xuanhuan because I saw this point. "
"Then, do you think this novel will pose a threat to you? I heard that bookstores all over the country have already started to import this novel. "
"Haha, definitely not. If there's an opponent, my opponent is myself. As for Wuxia novels, haha, to say something arrogant, I really don't care about it. I'm just using my identity as a senior to persuade the author that Wuxia has already declined. It's better for him to look for another genre. "
"Then what do you think your novel 'The Legend of Chu Liuxiang' will achieve?"
… ….
Xiao Yunhai stopped at this point. What happened next was no longer his focus.
"Wuxia is dead? You really don't know the immensity of heaven and earth. I didn't know before, but from today onwards, I, Xiao Yunhai, will definitely carry the banner of Wuxia and let it go against the current of everyone's surprise. "Xiao Yunhai said firmly in his heart.
Another three days passed, and 《The Legend of Chu Liuxiang》 was still selling at an amazing speed. Tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of copies were sold every day. At the same time, "Fantasy City" was even crazier. In addition to the 400,000 online bookings, the physical sales actually sold 300,000 copies. This month was dominated by "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" and "Fantasy City". All the other books were pressed down by them to the point that they couldn't even flip over.
Xiao Yunhai was naturally very happy about this. Although the sales of "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" were not as good as "Fantasy City", it was very encouraging for a new novel to be able to compete with "Fantasy City" when the author's popularity was not as good. At the same time, it also surprised the people in the novel world. This was a classic case of using small to win big.
Therefore, Xiao Yunhai was very satisfied, but Zhang Liye did not think so. After carefully reading "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang", he felt that compared to the fantasy novels on the internet, although Li Tianming's writing style was obviously better than those web writers, but the concept of the story, the plot, and the context were very ordinary. It was far from the imagination and eclectic style of the current best-selling web writers. To be able to achieve such results, it was estimated that Li Tianming's fame accounted for most of it.
But "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" was very different from the other party. Its results were completely driven by the quality of the book, and it was far stronger than "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang".
He felt that if "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" had the fame of "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang", its results should not lose to "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang", and it was not impossible for it to even surpass "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang".
As a martial arts editor, Zhang Liye, who had been working as a martial arts editor for his whole life, the decades of accumulated contacts played a huge role at this moment. Many famous martial arts writers, after reading "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" sent by him, helped to promote it.
The martial arts master of the mainland, Gu Pingyong, posted a comment on Minsheng Daily.
"Recently, I was lucky to read" The Legend of Chu Liuxiang ", and I was very happy. When martial arts novels are declining, there can be such a novel full of novelty. For me, it is really a great comfort. I look forward to meeting Mr. Guest Outside Heaven and listening to your advice. "
Gu Pingyong did not say much, but his words were very important. Even a master like him had to listen to his advice. Whether it was a modest statement or not, it fully showed that he valued this novel.
Just when Xiao Yunhai's supporters were wild with joy, many other martial arts writers wrote comments on "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" one after another.
"Through the recommendation of Minsheng Publishing House, I read Mr. Guest Outside Heaven's masterpiece" The Legend of Chu Liuxiang ", and I have to say that I admire him. Mr. Guest Outside Heaven creatively combined detective and martial arts, and in today's martial arts world, it is definitely a pioneering work. Many people say that martial arts are dead, but I want to tell them that martial arts have never died. It just lacks a person to carry on the past, and now it has found this person, and it is Mr. Guest Outside Heaven. "
----- Li Liang
"Today, when fantasy novels are popular, to be able to read" The Legend of Chu Liuxiang ", which retains the original taste of martial arts, but is different from other novels, I am very happy. The Chu Liuxiang created by Mr. Guest Outside Heaven is full of an indescribable charm. His Qing Gong is unparalleled in the world, and his martial arts are also superb, but when he fights, he has a heart of mercy. In this treacherous Jianghu, it is very difficult for him to not kill anyone, and not have a trace of blood on his hands. Such an extraordinary character, how can we not love him? "
