A healing writer? No, it's a depressing writer!

Chapter 185: I would rather die than let my friend die! This time, I really want to give you an ending!

Do you want to ask what the "Youth Foreword" magazine is doing recently?
Objectively speaking, the "Youth Preface" magazine has been really busy and exhausted during this period?

Ever since "Dragon Tribe II: Eyes of the Mourner" ended its serialization in the "Youth Preface" magazine and was officially announced to be completed.

For quite some time, Youth Foreword magazine received a direct verbal attack from enthusiastic readers:
"Which bastard let Jiang Nan write such an ending? So my Little Dragon Girl is dead? Jiang Nan, you will die miserably! Youth Preface Magazine, I'm going to fuck you."

"Xiao Long Nu died just like that? Xia Mi was killed just like that? Is this the end of the story of the arrogant Xiao Long Nu and Senior Brother Chu from the noodle stall? Which bastard came up with this crap ending? Even a pervert like me finds it perverted, and even a loser like me finds it speechless. I really can't accept it."

"No, who the hell taught you to write books like this? Who the hell taught you to torture the readers like this? Which bastard told me before that "Dragon Tribe" is a fucking cool novel? Stand up! I'll chop you to death."

"They are both Little Dragon Girls. The Little Dragon Girl in The Return of the Condor Heroes was forced by Yin Zhiping, while the Little Dragon Girl in Dragon Clan was killed by the person she loved the most. Oh my God, who did Little Dragon Girl offend? Do you dare to give my Little Dragon Girl a good ending?"

Because the ending of "Dragon Tribe II: Eyes of the Mourner" is too heroic, it can be said to have ended in a tragic ending.

After the last issue of "Dragon Tribe II: Eyes of the Mourner" was released in "Preface to Puberty".

Immediately, it caused an extremely explosive response among the readers.

A considerable number of readers, unable to bear the heart-wrenching plot of [Xia Mi's death], sent letters to the magazine "Youth Foreword", indignantly demanding the editor-in-chief of the magazine -

"Change the ending!"

"Even if the ending cannot be changed, Xia Mi must be resurrected for me in the subsequent plot of "Dragon Clan""

There is no resurrection after death.

Xia Mi was stabbed to death in front of all the main characters.

How can there be resurrection from the dead?

Not every book has the magical power of "Resurrection, My Love".

Just plug it in and pull it out and pretend nothing happened?
Obviously this doesn't make sense!

In response to the readers' almost unreasonable request, Jiang Hai immediately responded to the indignant readers under the pen name "Yanyu Ru Jiangnan":
"I can't revive at all!"

"Even if the invincible golden body comes, it can't save Xia Mi!"

"Xia Mi is a mysterious dragon with the ability to destroy the world. Chu Zihang is the dragon slayer chosen by the human camp. Xia Mi died at the hands of Chu Zihang. This is the bond between the two, and it is also the fate that was destined for them long ago."

Jiang Hai didn't know what readers' reaction would be when reading this part of the plot.

In short, he only knew that when writing this part of the plot—

He personally finds writing very enjoyable!

Especially when Chu Zihang pierced Xia Mi's heart with a sharp blade, his entire state gradually changed from shock at the beginning to panic. Seeing Xia Mi's dragon blood gushing out continuously at the moment of death, the paralyzed senior brother who was always famous for his calmness became like a child who had done something wrong. He was at a loss and revealed an emotion called fear for the first time.
Killing the one you love with your own hands?
Although this kind of drama seems very cruel, but if you really want to write it——

That's so cool, isn't it?
Whenever he recalled the tragic scene of Xia Mi dying in Chu Zihang's arms, Jiang Hai couldn't help but light a cigarette, and suddenly he felt secretly happy:

"Damn, what I wrote is really awesome."

Although I feel very happy when writing, I must never reveal this emotion to my readers.

He didn't want to be hit by a club for no reason while walking:

"Jiangnan old dog, how dare you stab me like this?"

"Look, I'm going to smash your dog head with this stick."

It was also out of consideration for his own personal safety that Jiang Hai quickly expressed his deep condolences for Xia Mi's passing as [Yanyu Ru Jiangnan]:
"May Xia Mi have a good journey."

"May there be no dragon slayers in heaven."

"May those who love each other in this world no longer experience separation and death, and may they continue their love in the next life."

After doing all this, Jiang Hai quickly pulled out the editors of Youth Foreword magazine to take the blame:
"It was not my intention to kill someone with a knife!"

"Actually, at the beginning, I didn't intend to kill Xia Mi."

"It's just that the editors of Youth Foreword told me that only tragedy can move people's hearts."

The more you cut, the better the sales of our magazine will be!

Is this the actual advice that Chief Editor Mo of "Youth Preface" actually gave to Jiang Hai?

Do you want to say whether Jiang Hai slandered Editor-in-Chief Mo?
This, really doesn’t exist!

You said it yourself.

Tragedy moves the heart, and that is exactly what you suggested to me.

"First of all, this is what you said to me yourself, I didn't slander you." Jiang Hai sat in his seat, smoking, thinking to himself, "Secondly, "Dragon Clan" made you "Youth Preface" earn so much more money."

"So what if I pull you out to block the bullets?"

"Even if I pass the buck and drag you out to take the blame, you still have to take it."

Adhering to the principle of "I would rather die than let my friends die".

Jiang Hai immediately started to blame others:

"I didn't really plan to write it this way at first, but after an in-depth discussion with the editor of Youth Preface, I changed my original idea."

As soon as this was said, the readers who looked up at the magazine turned their attention to the column of Youth Foreword:
"The author didn't intend to write Xia Mi to death, but you asked him to write it this way?"

"You beasts, you are such beasts!"

It's still the same old topic.

Readers are completely unfamiliar with the elusive author of "Yanyu Rujiangnan".

Readers do not know whether this "Mist and Rain Entering Jiangnan" is a man or a woman, nor do they know where Jiangnan lives, let alone who this Jiangnan is.

but
Everyone knows everything about your "Youth Foreword" magazine!
As the saying goes-

If you can run, the monk can't run the temple!
If Jiangnan can run away, where can your "Youth Preface" magazine run to?

Ever since it was discovered that the "Youth Preface" magazine was the culprit in the death of [Xia Mi], the number of outrageous incidents in the building where the magazine is located has obviously begun to increase.

More and more young people began to gather in the building where the Youth Preface magazine was located.

On several occasions, the tragedy of the magazine's door being splashed with paint almost happened again.

To prevent the tragedy like last time from happening again.

Every day at work, Editor-in-Chief Mo, who is the general manager of Youth Foreword magazine, would give a speech to the newly recruited security guards:
"If you encounter a stranger entering the building, especially a teenager, you must promptly approach and ask the visitor's purpose."

"Anyone with suspicious behavior is not allowed to enter the building!"

"If you encounter an emergency, you must not confront the visitor head-on. You must learn from Comrade Chris—"

"Close the door in time!"

"The iron gate downstairs is very strong. If it is closed, the troublemakers will not be able to get in."

Not only did he strengthen the security around the building, Editor-in-Chief Mo also spent a huge amount of money to purchase a security system from a security company.

As long as a stranger is not wearing a work badge, the security system will sound an alarm when he enters the floor of the building where "Youth Preface" is located.

This series of operations did ensure the safety of the magazine, but it left the security guard at the gate very puzzled:

“I used to be a security guard in a bank.”

“Why does it feel like a magazine’s inspection is stricter than the central bank’s?”

I thought that after adding more staff, this set of near-perfect security equipment would be enough to ensure the safety of all employees of the magazine.

But ideals are always full, and reality is always skinny.

There will always be times when things go wrong.

It's late in the day.

After a hard day's work.

As evening approached, Editor-in-Chief Mo, with his work badge in hand, clocked out with his tired body.

Just as he was walking to a nearby alley, suddenly, several young men who looked very energetic, holding something like sticks in their hands, blocked him at the entrance of the alley:
"You're just fucking called Editor-in-Chief Mo?"

Editor-in-Chief Mo looked around and immediately felt that the situation was not good:
"you are?"

Without any nonsense, the leader, a young man who looked a little sturdy, stood up with a stick in his hand and looked at him fiercely:
"You asked Jiangnan to give Xia Mi an ending. Today—"

"We're here to give you an ending!"

There is an old saying that goes well:
Sixty years old is the right age to start out and explore the world.

Although Editor-in-Chief Mo is old, his reaction speed when it comes to running away is just as good as that of today's young people.

"Killing people!!!"

Accompanied by a lifetime of deafening screams.

Editor-in-Chief Mo was chased from one end of the alley to the other end by this group of young people.

Editor-in-Chief Mo took two steps at a time and fled frantically. When he was near the entrance of the building, he started shouting to the newly recruited security guards from a distance:

"help!"

"Come and help quickly!"

"Someone is chasing me, come and help me."

As we all know, as a qualified security guard, he always adheres to the three principles of doorkeeping:
It’s embarrassing for the delivery man who is left alone.

Tease and teach a lesson to the beautiful owner.

Encounter criminals and escape unscathed.

As soon as they saw someone was serious, the security guards realized that the situation was not good and even ran faster than Editor-in-Chief Mo:

"The situation is not right, retreat immediately!"

"It's only 3,000 yuan a month. Why the hell do you want me to risk my life?"

I thought I had met my savior.

Who would have thought that these security guards who usually look like decent people would actually turn into Han Paopao when they really encounter trouble.
Seeing this, Editor-in-Chief Mo ran away, cursing, and was so angry that he almost vomited blood:

"You guys are a bunch of bastards."

So, it was twelve o'clock in the morning.

I saw an old man who looked a little haggard, being chased by several young people all the way to a nearby police station.

They have already run to the police station. No matter what, you can't be so lawless as to harass others offline in front of the police officer?

Seeing that the offline efforts were fruitless, these breathless young men raised their sticks and began shouting at Editor-in-Chief Mo:
"Forget it this time. We didn't intend to do anything to you. We just wanted to scare you."

"But if you guys keep doing this in the "Youth Preface", and continue to let the misty rain enter Jiangnan, and continue to do some unnecessary things without any knife."

"I guarantee that next time, you won't be as lucky as this time."

Ever since this happened.

For several days in a row, Editor-in-Chief Mo was in a worried mood.

He really didn't expect that just serializing a book called "Dragon Tribe" could become such a big deal?

Is there really someone who, after reading "Dragon Tribe", would come all the way here to test their true self offline?

This applies to the entire publishing industry.
That can be called a pretty explosive experience!

This time, I ran fast and managed to escape.

But who knows what will happen next time?

"Should we continue to serialize "Ryuzo" in "Youth Foreword"?"

Just as Editor-in-Chief Mo was considering this issue very seriously.

A colleague from the publishing department came over with a thick stack of folders in his hands to report to Editor-in-Chief Mo on the sales of the past few issues of magazines and periodicals:
"The sales of the last three issues of 'Youth Preface' have dropped by 25.23%, 36.32%, and 49.79% year-on-year. The sales of our latest issue of 'Youth Preface' have dropped from the peak of 78 copies -"

"It once dropped to 32 copies now."

"Moreover, the decline has not stabilized yet and is still maintaining a downward trend."

Readers originally bought "Preface to Youth" because of the "Dragon Clan" series of novels.

Now that the serialization of "Dragon Clan II: Eyes of the Mourner" has come to an end, there is naturally no reason to continue buying "Youth Preface". If you want to increase the sales of "Youth Preface" again, the only way is to continue serializing the follow-up stories of "Dragon Clan". After all, for the magazine -

This "Dragon Clan" is the guarantee of the sales of "Preface to Youth"!

If it were under normal circumstances, Chief Editor Mo would definitely be very happy to commission an article from Jiang Hai, and then renew the serial rights for the follow-up story of "Dragon Tribe", namely "Dragon Tribe III: Tide of the Black Moon", from Jiang Hai at a relatively reasonable price.

But rather.
Such a mess happened now?

Editor-in-Chief Mo has read the complete outline of "Dragon Tribe III: Tides of Black Moon" and knows that the sequel to "Dragon Tribe III" will be the [Tokyo Chapter].

Do you think this is a good story?

There's nothing to say.

Whether in terms of plot or writing style, it is one of the top domestic youth adventure literature -

none of them!

Just from the world view outlined by "Dragon Family III: Tides of Dark Moon", it is not an exaggeration to call it the Eastern version of "Harry Potter"!

This "Dragon 3" is actually good in every way, but it has one biggest shortcoming -

It's just too sad!

"It's just that Xia Mi was killed with a sword, and readers cried and screamed that they couldn't stand it. If Erii was killed with a sword at the end of "Ryuzo", that would be fucking..."

Who is Eri?
That is a key character in "Ryuzo".

In terms of the appearance and misery of death, Eri is not on the same level as Xia Mi.
When Editor-in-Chief Mo thought about what happened in the past two days, he felt a chill down his spine?

"When Xia Mi died, I was chased and hacked. What if another Eri died?"

Thinking of this, Editor-in-Chief Mo silently picked up his long-lost pipe, his expression filled with endless solemnity.

If "Long San" is not serialized, "Youth Preface" will not sell well. If "Youth Preface" does not sell well, then Editor-in-Chief Mo wants to jump from editor-in-chief to editor-in-chief and even the unattainable president before retirement.
This is definitely impossible!
Recalling what my superiors said to me:

"Work hard. As long as you can maintain the sales of "Youth Preface", you will definitely be included in the unit's annual evaluation."

It was when I recalled what the leader said.

Editor-in-Chief Mo made up his mind:
"Sixty years old, isn't that the right age to venture out into the world?"

"How can you seek comfort at this age?"

As the saying goes-

The bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish!

With risks come rewards!

If you want to gain something, you must face and lose something.
For my past dreams and for the goals I have been striving for for more than 30 years, which I have always wanted to achieve but have not been able to achieve.

Thinking of this, as if strengthening some kind of confidence, Editor-in-Chief Mo no longer hesitated:
"I'll contact Jiang Hai now!"

After a brief communication, Jiang Hai learned about Editor-in-Chief Mo's recent experience.

He sent a message to Editor-in-Chief Mo with a little concern:
"Can you withstand it?"

Facing Jiang Hai's questioning, he once again strengthened his belief.

Editor-in-Chief Mo looked solemn and resolutely replied to Jiang Hai:
"Can stand it!"

"Even if I can't hold on, I will hold on."
