Chapter 218 The Highest Announcement
Chapter 218 The highest announcement
After seeing off Lao Zhang, Yang Feng didn't dare to listen to "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" on the way back for his own safety.
Fortunately, the previous voice recitation is an intelligent mode.
If it is really a professional-level anchor, with some emotional music and a slightly gloomy tone, this story will not scare people?
Back home that night, Yang Feng had a dream.
He dreamed that he and Lao Zhang were robbing the tomb, and he placed a candle in the corner, but before the coffin was opened, the candle suddenly went out...
People light candles, ghosts blow lamps!
Yang Feng didn't know what happened afterwards, because he had already been awakened by the fear in his heart.
the next day.
When Yang Feng came to the company, he was in low spirits, as if he didn't sleep well last night.
"What's wrong with you?" A colleague asked concerned.
Yang Fengdao: "I don't know how to evaluate Chu Kuang's new book..."
"Chu Kuang's new writing is ready?"
Almost all the editors looked at Yang Feng at the same time.
The group of editors at Yinlan Library can be regarded as half of Chu Kuang's fans, and "Zhu Xian" is known as a masterpiece that half the industry is chasing after!
Someone asked: "What type?"
At this time, Lao Zhang also came to the company. Hearing everyone's discussion, he said with a smile: "Since everyone is so curious, why don't Xiao Yang send the book to everyone to see what everyone thinks."
"also."
Yang Feng simply sent "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" to everyone's mailboxes just like last time.
The novel must be kept secret before publication, but the editors of the company are naturally fine.
After everyone received "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", they immediately read it.
In the end, after watching it for a few minutes, someone said in amazement: "First person?"
"Is this a horror novel?"
"To be exact, it's a supernatural novel..."
"Tomb robbery counts as supernatural? Starting from the industry, this is obviously a realistic novel."
"I read the title and thought it was Xianxia..."
"Can this work?"
"..."
What everyone said was euphemistic.
In fact, just looking at the beginning of the novel and the first-person perspective, everyone has no expectations for the content of the story.
If this is not Chu Kuang's book, everyone has already killed this manuscript!
First person?
These days, how can anyone write in the first person?
Don’t you know that current readers just abandon the book when they see the first person?
And at the beginning, it was a long-winded talk, why is it all about the protagonist's grandfather?
I also said tomb robbery...
What is there to say about tomb robbery?
There has never been a novel of this type before.
Lao Zhang said cheerfully, "Keep watching."
When he and Yang Feng listened to the beginning of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" yesterday, they were also at a loss, and even felt that Chu Kuang was writing indiscriminately.
But after hearing the back, the views of the two completely changed.
At this time, the editors in the editorial department also experienced the same psychological change.
When they saw that a paper man who had been burned to the dead came back to life and uttered the truth to marry Hu Guohua, everyone shuddered.
The atmosphere in the whole house suddenly became much colder!
And when they saw that the white paper man asked Hu Guohua to go to the cemetery late at night to take out the gold and silver buried with him, Hu Guohua went greedily, but was eaten by the white paper man, and everyone's breathing was tight...
Lao Zhang and Yang Feng looked at each other.
The reaction of the crowd did not exceed their expectations.
There are so many horror scenes in this novel, the beginning is just evil, and the end is directly a little gloomy.
For example, when Hu Bayi and Fatty went to work in the local area, Lao Wang’s daughter-in-law in the village saw a group of people bowing down to a locust tree. When she went up to have a look, she found that these people had no heads...
Just thinking about this scene makes me panic...
Not to mention the red zongzi behind, and the two dead children...
The dead child is a pair of boys and girls...
The interpretation of the novel is that when the child is alive, mercury is injected from the top of the head, and then the surface of the body is coated with mercury powder, just like making a specimen. After thousands of years, the body will not rot, but the whole body will turn blue and faintly black.
In Chu Kuang's words, details such as blood vessels and mercury-filled holes are well described.
Just when he heard this paragraph, Yang Feng almost had a problem driving.
"boom!"
Suddenly there was a sound of opening the door.
Perhaps everyone's minds are on the novel.
Surprised by the sudden voice, some people even knocked over their wolfberry tea in a panic...
The water flowed all over the place.
Only then did everyone realize that it was the editor-in-chief, Old Xiong.
"What are you doing, surprised?" Old Bear frowned.
Yang Feng explained: "Chu Kuang has written a new book."
Old Xiong was taken aback for a moment, then his eyes lit up: "What subject?"
"Supernatural!"
"fear!"
"Suspense!"
"Adventure!"
Several editors spoke at the same time.
The old bear frowned again: "What the hell is it?"
Yang Feng thought for a while, and said: "It should be considered a new genre, I think it should be called a tomb-robbing novel..."
"Tomb robbery?"
The old bear was a little puzzled.
Of course the literal meaning is understandable, who doesn't know about tomb robbers, but the old bear can't figure it out, would this stuff look good in a novel?
Chu Kuang's new book, does it take an unusual path?
Yang Feng quickly said: "You can understand after reading it, I have sent the novel to your mailbox."
The explanation is not clear in a few words, because Lanxing has never had a novel of the type "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" before!
Simply defined by horror or suspense, it seems not comprehensive enough.
Except for Chu Kuang, probably no one would have thought of writing such a fantasy novel...
"OK."
Old Bear nodded and entered the office.
The editors looked at each other, and then discussed in low voices:
"Chu Kuang really has a book with a style, this book is too scary!"
"I feel very stimulated."
"It's like watching some wonderful horror movies. While being scared, I can't help but want to continue watching..."
"Can this be popular? After all, it is the first person..."
"It's hard to say, although it is the first person, but looking at it, I seem to be used to it?"
"Think about it carefully, don't you think that "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" needs to use the first person to be more immersive?"
"Suspense novels often use the first person..."
"The problem is, we are a fantasy novel, and readers like the protagonist to pretend to be handsome. "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" seems...misclassified?"
"It can be considered a fantasy novel, I think the imagination of this book is terrible..."
"Anyway, Chu Kuang's novel is amazing!"
"Three books, three types, and even the writing style is different this time, which is terrible!"
"..."
After discussing for a while, everyone returned to their seats and continued to watch "Ghost Blowing the Lantern".
Just half an hour later, the door of the editor-in-chief's office suddenly opened.
The old bear ran out...
Facing this scene, Yinlan's editors suddenly felt a little familiar.
Also this day.
The editor-in-chief's office personally instructed that "Ghost Blowing Lantern" will be officially released in June, and the publicity level is...
superlative!
