Chapter 232 "Swordsman" Press Conference
"Haha, the propaganda words have been finished, now everyone can ask any questions, and I will try my best to answer your doubts."
As soon as Xiao Yunhai said these words, several hands were raised below.
"Hello Mr. Xiao, I'm a reporter from Writer's Daily. What I want to ask is, as a best-selling writer of martial arts novels, what are your expectations for the sales and reputation of this "Swordsman"? Do you think it will exceed "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" and "Little Li Feidao"?"
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said: "Do you know what contract I signed with Sunshine Publishing House? I can tell you that it is a gambling contract. If the sales of this novel can't exceed 30 million, I will lose money. You say mine. How much confidence is there?"
"I have reason to believe that this book can bring you a completely different experience. As for the rest, I think it should be tested by the market."
After answering this question, Xiao Yunhai pointed to another reporter, this time a reporter from an entertainment newspaper.
"Mr. Xiao, first of all, I want to protest to you, can you show your face when you are not busy? We really want to get to know you, but you are too low-key, and we have nowhere to interview you. to find you."
"Hahaha."
The reporter's complaint made everyone laugh. Many reporters nodded in agreement.
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said: "I am an artist who advocates quality as king. Whether it is music, film, or novels, I will do my best to make them well. I think the quality of my works is more effective than any promotion. As for me personally , I admit that it is indeed a bit low-key, but there is no way, I am too busy. I am not bragging, you can count the fields I am involved in now. There are singers, songwriters, directors, screenwriters, actors, writers, etc., Are you saying I have that much free time to come out and give interviews?"
The reporter asked: "What kind of motivation do you think made you do so many majors?"
Xiao Yunhai suddenly remembered a sketch that Feng Gong and Zhu Jun said in the previous life, so he said jokingly: "I'm not confident. I just want to write novels well in the music industry. In the novel world, my acting is the best. In the world of actors, I am the best director, and in the world of directors, I sing the most beautifully. Brother, what I play these days is comprehensive strength.”
"Hahaha"
There was a lot of laughter off the stage, and even Hua Mingquan on the stage couldn't help laughing.
The reporter said in disbelief: "Emotionally, are you taking your own strengths and others' weaknesses?"
Xiao Yunhai said: "That's right.
I just want to compare the hairdressing with the bald head, the taller than the short one, the splits with the strong body, and the American president in speaking Chinese. This way, I will definitely feel confident. "
"Pfft."
"Hahaha."
"Emperor Yun is so interesting. If you talk about sketches, he is definitely a good player."
After a while, another reporter stood up and asked: "Mr. Xiao once said at the press conference of "Little Li Feidao" that this "Swordsman" will open up a new genre of martial arts. Today's novels It has been written, do you still think so? Do you think that with the quality of "Swordsman", you can achieve this?"
Xiao Yunhai smiled confidently: "I've always thought this way since the beginning. In order to allow journalists to write news, I can reiterate it again. "Swordsman" is a unique martial arts, and All the martial arts novels in the past are different. It can open up a new trend and will become the representative work of the new martial arts. There is no doubt about this."
Xiao Yunhai's tone was firm and decisive, instantly detonating the audience.
A reporter muttered to himself while writing a book: "This guy is too bold, isn't he overconfident?"
Even in the heyday of martial arts, no writer had dared to say such a rhetoric before a book was officially sold.
If "Swordsman" does not reach the height he said, then he will definitely attract countless fans to crusade, and even his popularity may plummet.
"Excuse me, Mr. Xiao, "The Great Qing Dynasty" by Zhang Ping, the master of the literary world, is on a hot sale. It sold five million copies in four days. Do you think your novel can be compared with "The Great Qing Dynasty"?"
The reporter's question is very sharp.
If Xiao Yunhai said it could be compared, the reporters below would probably say that Xiao Yunhai was so outspoken that he dared to compare with the masters of the literary world.
If he said that he couldn't compare, it would be tantamount to smacking himself.
Although Zhang Ping is second to none among writers, the sales of his works are not outstanding. The best one has only sold 15 million copies, which is still a lot worse than Xiao Yunhai's "Little Li Fei Dao", not to mention the more sensational "Swordsman".
Hua Mingquan also realized this trap, and was about to remind Xiao Yunhai quietly, but before he could speak, Xiao Yunhai had already opened his mouth.
"This reporter is very smart. He blocked me from both ends. No matter what I say, it's all wrong. It's amazing."
The reporters and fans in the audience all laughed. The reporter did not feel any embarrassment, but was very proud.
In the press circle, being able to ask difficult questions is a very honorable thing, and it can improve his status in the circle.
Xiao Yunhai continued: "To tell you the truth, I like Mr. Zhang Ping's works very much. Whether it's prose, novels or history, there are a lot of philosophical things in his books, which make people have endless aftertastes. It's just this. A reporter insisted on comparing historical novels with my popular martial arts novels, which really makes people wonder how to answer. The two books are not of the same type, and they are not comparable at all. I can only say my best wishes to Mr. Zhang This "The Great Qing Dynasty" and my "Swordsman" can both achieve a satisfactory result."
As if the reporter had a head start, the questions that followed were very sharp.
Xiao Yunhai used his witty and humorous language to answer without leaking, which made Hua Mingquan on the stage admire very much.
After answering questions from more than a dozen reporters in a row, Xiao Yunhai waved his hand and said, "Okay, fellow reporters, please do it well, be merciful, and leave a way out for the brothers. Let's not bring such fun, This question is too harsh. Dig holes everywhere and set traps everywhere. Fortunately, my brother still has two brushes, or else you would have been buried alive."
"Especially the first few people, I remember you now, and I will hurry to hide when I see you in the future, so as not to unknowingly fall into your trap and offend people for no reason."
"I don't understand. I think our relationship is not bad. There's no need to be so cruel to me."
"Hahaha" Everyone was amused by Xiao Yunhai's complaints.
