Chapter 55 Look, there really are flying saucers
Newspapers during the Republic of China period had no less enthusiasm for gossip than later generations. The most in short supply of foreign markets was tabloids that could see people's privacy.
The tabloid reporter started from the "Popular Novel Weekly" and analyzed why Huang Yi and Jin Yong, two martial arts novels, chose this newspaper that had just been founded not long ago.
As time goes by, time-travel articles like "The Legend of Qin" have gradually been accepted by society.
After quitting "Free Talk", "The Legend of Qin" has a fixed readership. These people are not sociologists, but young masters and their gangsters who are hiding in the foreign market.
"The Legend of Qin" does not talk about any major principles, it just talks about a happy thing.
Xiang Shaolong was in the Warring States Period, encountered all kinds of beauties, integrating adventure and search for wonders.
The whole story is large in scale and exquisite in concept, which is really a rare masterpiece.
If "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has raised the level of popular novels, then "The Legend of Qin" has opened up the horizons of popular novels, and there are many novels imitating "The Legend of Qin" from booksellers.
This is because "The Legend of Qin" is easier to imitate.
Although Pingqianyan's book "The Legend of the Tang Dynasty" is shoddy, it is better because it contains detailed descriptions between men and women, which attracted a group of readers and the sales volume is actually pretty good.
The reporters dug out the background of Ping Banya.
Before becoming the editor-in-chief of "Popular Novel Weekly", he was just a small person who was scattered at the bottom of the literary world.
In this way, Huang Yi and Jin Yong were definitely not the ones who published the novel in the "Popular Novel Weekly" for Ping Jinya. So who is the boss behind Ping Jinya?
"Popular Novel Weekly" recently moved to the French Concession and worked with the Mingyue Song and Dance Troupe and the Star Film Company.
It is obvious that the boss behind Ping Banya is Lin Zixuan, a giant in Shanghai's financial industry.
Lin Zixuan has many identities. He is the president of Lin's Commercial Bank, a famous poet, and a movie star. Recently, he is still competing with others for the copyright of a novel.
Coincidentally, the person just left Shanghai and the updates of "The Legend of Qin" and "The Smiling and Proud Wanderer" were interrupted.
There is only one truth, that is, Lin Zixuan has nothing to do with these novels.
It’s not that Lin Zixuan has never written a novel. "The Old Man and the Sea" was just published in "Happy Forest". Why did the Newspaper support Lin Zixuan? It’s not because Lin Zixuan is the author of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
As for the author of "The Legend of Qin", reporters cannot conclude that the styles of the two novels are too different.
It is hard to imagine that a writer who can write like "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is also writing "The Legend of Qin". The styles of the two are completely different.
Mr. Huang Yi should have accompanied Lin Zixuan to the United States, so the update of "The Legend of Qin" was interrupted.
This is the final inference of the reporters.
In any case, Lin Zixuan became popular again in the Shanghai literary world, and the title of a popular novel master is inevitable.
The cruise ship sails on the vast sea, surrounded by sea water, boundless.
Lu Xiaoman stood on the deck slightly bored, watching several men chatting not far away.
At the beginning, she was quite excited and shocked by the magnificence of the sea. But after seeing many things, she became accustomed to them. After a few days, she felt like she was doing nothing.
In the closed environment of cruise ships, she could only stay in the cabin to read books except for occasionally attending foreign dances.
This is undoubtedly a torture for women who like to be lively and social.
Wang Geng also likes socializing, but it is a circle of men. She can't get involved, and she is unwilling to be with the beautifully dressed women on the cruise ship, so she has to be alone.
Lu Xiaoman couldn't help but think of Lin Zixuan. It seemed that Lin Zixuan had been staying in the cabin and rarely came out except for eating.
She became curious about what a man could do in the cabin.
This is because she didn't know that there were creatures like otakus in later generations. For otakus, one can do many things in the room alone, and it is never boring.
Lu Xiaoman returned to the cabin and picked up a collection of poems on the bed.
This was bought by Lin Zixuan when she was in Shanghai. She liked the love poems in it very much.
She also watched the movie "Shanghai Holiday" and knew that Lin Zixuan was the screenwriter of the movie. She was moved by the fairy tale love story in the movie and was fascinated by the role played by Lin Zixuan.
In Lu Xiaoman's eyes, Lin Zixuan should be the kind of talented man who returned from studying abroad, with a graceful and talented person.
Like Wang Geng, it is just a different type.
She held the poetry collection and knocked on the door of Lin Zixuan's cabin.
"Mr. Lin, I have read your collection of poems and want to ask for some questions." Lu Xiaoman said softly.
She has a slim figure, bright smile and soft voice. Unlike the lady who is shy at any time, she has a cheerful and proactive personality, which is also the main reason why she becomes a star in the social circle.
After getting on the boat, Lin Zixuan never thought about getting along with Lu Xiaoman. After all, her fiancé was next to him, and he didn't want to have trouble.
"Please come in, the room is a little messy." Lin Zixuan said politely.
Lu Xiaoman looked at the cabin, with manuscript paper and pen spreading on the table. Lin Zixuan seemed to be writing something just now.
"Mr. Lin, this song "Looking for Li Bai" is very artistic, I like it very much, but this sentence 'It turns into a huge flying saucer'. What is the 'eat saucer'?" Lu Xiaoman said strangely.
"The UFO is a means of transportation for aliens to fly. Like an airplane, it can fly in the sky, but the UFO can fly among the stars." Lin Zixuan explained.
In fact, the earliest record of the UFO in modern times was that in 1878, an American discovered an unknown circular object. At that time, more than a hundred newspapers published this news.
This word was already in place at that time. What is really well-known was that in 1947, someone shouted "Flying Dish", which was widely circulated.
When Lin Zixuan wrote this poem, he did not change it in order not to destroy the overall artistic nature.
As for poetry, good poetry is something that cannot be understood, otherwise how can it highlight the poet's rich imagination and creativity?
"Aliens? Flying among the stars?" Lu Xiaoman said in surprise.
Lu Xiaoman is not an ignorant girl, but rather knowledgeable, but is not very enthusiastic about science fiction novels, and not many foreign science fiction novels have been spread to China.
Since Yan Fu translated "Evolution of Heaven", foreign scientific works have been introduced to China in large quantities. Chinese people also know what the universe and planet are, and they will no longer think that there is really Chang'e on the moon.
It is said that China's earliest science fiction novel was "The Future of New China" published by Liang Qichao in 1902.
He described the situation in China after 1960, and at the same time, he also reviewed the history of the previous 60 years, and the past and the past are intertwined.
Some people also believe that the first science fiction novel in China's true consciousness should be the "Moon Colonial Novel" published in "Embroidered Novel" in 1904.
