Chapter 336 Who is Jin Yong?
Li Chunfang carefully watched Huang Jin flipping through the back pages of the latest magazine. He couldn't figure out what happened today?
How could the great god Huang Jin be blown over?
After waiting for a long time, Huang Jin finally finished reading the last "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" in the "Daming Fenghua" magazine. A look of understanding suddenly appeared on Huang Jin's face. It turned out to be because of Qiu Chuji!
In Huang Jin's opinion, the two stories that he remembers most are not Guo Xiaotian and Yang Tiexin, nor the gentle and kind-hearted Bao Xiruo, but the jealous Qiu Chuji.
Because in Huang Jin's heart, wasn't it Taoist practice that interested Emperor Jiajing?
Qiu Chuji is also a Taoist celebrity and a master of Quanzhen, so he naturally put Emperor Jiajing's desire to watch the follow-up of "The Condor" on Qiu Chuji.
Huang Jin put the finished magazine on the table aside, then looked up at Li Chunfang, who had been waiting beside him.
Huang Jin was extremely satisfied when he saw Li Chunfang's respectful attitude.
Huang Jin smiled and said: "Editor Li, you are the master here, sit down quickly."
Li Chunfang bowed slightly to Huang Jin, then sat aside carefully, continuing to wait for Huang Jin's instructions.
Huang Jin said: "This time's "The Ming Dynasty" is very good, our family likes it very much, especially the later "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is simply written in our hearts. Our family has been waiting for a long time. I have never seen such a wonderful story with such ups and downs. It is really courageous for Editor Li to put such an excellent story in "The Ming Dynasty"."
Li Chunfang listened to Huang Jin's words. The thoughts in his head didn't stop for a moment, and he was always trying hard to think about the meaning behind Huang Jin's words.
When he heard Huang Jin talking about "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Li Chunfang's spirit immediately became tense.
Others may not know who wrote this story, but as the editor-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty Book Company and the direct person in charge of the magazine "Da Ming Fenghua", Li Chunfang knows very well who sent the manuscript.
Otherwise, according to the current style of "Da Ming Feng Hua" magazine, how could it be possible to open a separate "Serial Novel" column at the end?
You must know that each issue of "Da Ming Feng Hua" can sell more than 10,000 copies. It is a very trend-vane magazine. Every page is worth every inch of paper. How can it be divided into so many? What about letting people write novels on the pages of "Da Ming Feng Hua"?
So, the person who allows "Da Ming Feng Hua" to open a special page to write novels must be someone Li Chunfang can't refuse.
So after listening to Huang Jin's words, Li Chunfang's mind went back and forth, thinking about how to answer Huang Jin's question.
Li Chunfang said cautiously: "My father-in-law was so ridiculous. I just made a small attempt to see if I could increase the sales and influence of "The Ming Dynasty" in the form of a novel." Improve.”
"My father-in-law, you also know that since the publication of "Da Ming Feng Hua", there have been many imitators on the market. Therefore, in order to maintain the uniqueness of "Da Ming Feng Hua" and the concept of daring to be the first in the world, Xiaguan is bold We have added a "Novel Serial" column to see if we can attract more excellent works."
"This is also to implement Prince Yu's original expectations for Xiaguan. At the time of the bookstore, Prince Yu said that there were hundreds of classics in the pre-Qin Dynasty, masterpieces of poetry and poetry in the Qin and Han Dynasties, gorgeous poems in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, lyrics and music in the two Song Dynasties, and even the Yuan Dynasty songs in the early Yuan Dynasty, which lasted only a few hundred years."
“Therefore, even though the Ming Dynasty has been a country for two hundred years, it cannot be without the characteristics of this dynasty. Therefore, Prince Yu put the direction of cultural creation in the novels that have appeared for both refined and popular tastes such as "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Water Margin". I believe that novels, a cultural direction suitable for the general public, will also be the cultural characteristics of our Ming Dynasty in the future.” The style of the previous dynasty. Therefore, after Xiaguan became the editor-in-chief of Daming Book Company, he implemented the original teachings of Prince Yu."
"Xiaguan first compiled "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Water Margin". He is a well-known folk novel, and then published novels such as "Journey to the West" and "Jin Ping Mei", which are popular among readers. "Judging from the current sales and response, this new cultural path that Prince Yu originally guided Xiaguan has. There was indeed no mistake. So, Xiaguan took advantage of the victory and published the "Serial Novel" column on the last page of "The Ming Dynasty".
“The purpose is to attract more excellent works to shine brilliantly under the guidance of Daming Book Company and become the cultural characteristics of our Ming Dynasty.”
Li Chunfang is worthy of being the top talent. Speaking of which, What he said is clear and logical. The emergence of the "Serial Novels" column directly promoted the cultural characteristics of the Ming Dynasty.
It can be seen that Li Chunfang was able to gain the appreciation of Emperor Jiajing so quickly in the original history, and then he was promoted step by step directly into the cabinet, which is also extraordinary.
Huang Jin nodded with satisfaction after listening to Li Chunfang's words.
These words are interesting, really interesting, and I need to tell the emperor about them.
Huang Jin said to Li Chunfang: "Editor-in-chief Li is really capable. He can implement the prince's instructions in place and can test the results. We admire him very much. Today we also have good news for you. "The emperor intends to promote you to be a Hanlin bachelor. You must work hard in the future and never let down the emperor's expectations."
When Li Chunfang heard that she was going to be promoted to a Hanlin bachelor, her body couldn't help but tremble. stand up.
Hanlin Bachelor is the highest position that can be held in the Hanlin Academy. Although it is only an official position of the fifth rank, the significance of this official position far exceeds its own meaning. I don’t know how many times better than the Hanlin Lecturer, who is also a fifth-grade scholar!
You must know that the rank of a bachelor in the Ming Dynasty was only the fifth rank.
But who can really regard a bachelor as a full-fledged official?
Besides, there was a Hanlin bachelor who entered the cabinet directly before this, so one can imagine Li Chunfang's excitement at this moment.
Li Chunfang was so excited that she immediately knelt down, "The emperor's grace is so great!"
Huang Jin stopped him in time and said: "Don't get excited now, the decree will not be issued until after the Qingming Festival. This is just a coincidence. I’ll tell you first, otherwise you can’t spread it.”
Of course Li Chunfang knows the pros and cons, after all, this is a decree that has not yet been announced. Now if he gets carried away and spreads what Huang Jin told him, then he will wait to die.
Li Chunfang held back her excitement and expressed gratitude to Huang Jin: "Thank you, father-in-law."
Then Huang Jin asked abruptly: "Who is Jin Yong?"
