In the past, no matter how others attacked Xia Qiu, he wouldn't pay too much attention or even ignore them.
But today, the reporters felt that they had not come in vain. Xia Qiu first issued a warning to the entire media industry, and even threatened them. Then, he scolded the people of the novel association as a group of mad dogs, and called Mi Ming a self-righteous idiot. Then, he commented on the entire society of Gang City, expressing his dissatisfaction with Gang City. Finally, he showed off his wealth. This young man really dared to say anything.
Xia Qiu always complained that she was too young to do certain things and that she could not develop her own ideas. If she showed too much of her abilities, it was very likely that others would guess, even rumors and panic. Therefore, she could only mingle in the novel industry now.
But even so, it still caused a lot of confusion. Just like Han Han in his previous life, after writing 'Three Doors,' he chose to drop out of school. At the same time, he also rejected the invitation of Capital University. This matter caused a debate in the entire society at that time.
But today, he suddenly realized that young people could do some things without any scruples. Even if they did something out of line, people would always say," Young people are not sensible. This is the responsibility of parents and society." However, very few people blamed the young people themselves.
The reporters felt that they had finally caught a cannon today. They dared to speak arrogantly and curse without any scruples. Such cannon fire was very rare." Mr. Xia, hello, I'm a reporter from Sing Tao Daily. May I ask if you really sold your return to the Ming Dynasty as a prince for 15 million? Also, is this villa under your name? And why didn't you serialize your novel in the newspaper?"
Xia Qiu looked at the reporter from Sing Tao Daily and said," My first business partner in Gang City is your Sing Tao Daily. Initially, the relationship between the two parties was not bad. However, in order to attack Cheng Bao, you have also dragged me into the scandal. I can ignore all of this, but to drag my master out to attract attention, in my opinion, this is very excessive. So when you go back, please tell your chief editor Xu Jianfu and your boss that business is not about business, but about benevolence. Don't cross the line.
Alright, now to answer your questions. The first question is that the novel Return to the Ming Dynasty and Be a Prince did sell for 15 million. I have an agreement signed with Mr. Fu from Wancheng. If you still don't believe me, you can ask Cheng Pao's chief editor, Hu An. He was there to witness the entire process. Second question, this villa is indeed under my name. The total price is 16 million.
" The third problem is that although a novel can increase the audience, it takes a long time and the effects are slow. That's why I don't like it. My first book only earned a little over 70,000 yuan, but my second book earned more than 10 million yuan. That's the difference."
However, the reporter continued to ask,"This villa is worth at least 50 million. May I ask why Mr. Xia was able to buy it for such a low price of 16 million? Is there any insider trading involved?"
Xia Qiu replied," You really know how to think. How would I know why they would give me such a big discount? Maybe they like to read my novels, or maybe they see that I'm a young man who's always being bullied by others, so they sell me a discount because they feel sorry for me. Alright, next."”
"Hello, Mr. Xia. I'm a reporter from Huacheng Daily. How's the sales of your second novel? And how many copies do you expect to sell for your second novel? Also, what's your next book about?"
" First question, the overall sales situation is still unclear, but I heard that it sold very well in Gangcheng and Wancheng. After all, my novel has a novel theme, a strong story, and a good writing style. Anyone who is interested in the history of the Ming Dynasty should take a look. I believe there will be an unexpected surprise after reading it.
The second question is, I estimate that one million sets should not be a problem. Just in Wan City and Gang City, we can distribute hundreds of thousands of sets. As for how many sets we can sell in other places, it depends on how the distribution companies do it.
"The third question is that the next novel is also a transmigration novel. I've already written more than a million words so far, and it'll probably be finished in a month. When the book is published, I hope everyone can buy a set and take a look. The quality won't be worse than the previous two novels."
"Mr. Xia, I'm a reporter from Tian Tian Daily. Is there any rumor that Mi Ming once banned you? Do you have any evidence to prove that he did it? "Also, you're so young. How can you write such a novel? After all, it doesn't seem like someone your age knows so much. Do you have any secret to writing such a popular novel?"
Xia Qiu was silent for a while before saying,""I don't want any evidence to prove that he did it. I just want to know that he's the one behind it. I still feel that it's strange. I've never interacted with him before, and I've never met him before. Why would someone suddenly come out and want to ban me? Now that I think about it, it's really ridiculous. He's just a self-righteous and stupid idiot.
"The second question is a little difficult to answer. You have to attribute it to talent. If you ask me to solve a few math questions, I probably won't be able to answer any of them. If you ask me to tell you a few stories, I might tell you for a few days. As for the secret, there's no such thing. Look more, think more, and write more. That's how I wrote it."
"Hello, Mr. Xia. I'm a reporter from Oriental Daily. May I ask why the male lead in your novel always marries several wives? Does this mean that you will also have this tendency in the future? There are also some people who attack you and say that you don't respect women. What do you think of this issue?”This was a female reporter. She probably had a strong sense of feminism and was unhappy with Xia Qiu.
" The first question. Although I wrote the book, the audience is the vast number of readers. As long as the story is coherent and reasonable, and the readers are happy, it doesn't matter how many wives I marry.
Besides, I'm writing a story from ancient times. At that time, people advocated having three wives and four concubines. If I didn't write it this way, who would read it? The second problem was that any normal man would want to find a beautiful wife. As long as he was a capable man, he wouldn't want to find a few more beautiful women. Although this was unpleasant to hear, it was a common problem for men. Wei Xiaobao had married so many wives, but why hadn't anyone attacked Jin Ming?
I don't understand. I've only written a few books, but it seems that people from all over the world have come out to find trouble with me. Is it because I'm here and have no connections in Xiangjiang that they think I'm easy to bully?
The third problem was that this was just a novel. Just read it and don't take it too seriously. If someone really said that I didn't respect women, then I couldn't do anything about it. I couldn't stop writing novels just because of a few words from them.”
At this moment, a middle-aged reporter stood up and asked,""Hello, Mr. Xia. I'm a reporter from Da Zhong Bao. Can I ask you a question about your master? Don't misunderstand. I'm just curious about how your master raised you.”
Xia Qiu looked at him calmly for a while before saying,""Alright, I'll make an exception today to answer such a question, but this is also the last question.”
"Mr. Xia, what kind of person is your master? What does your master usually teach you? Is your master a hermit? May I ask if your master is the legendary chivalrous man?”
Xia Qiu was silent for a long time before she sighed and said,""If it wasn't for my master, I wouldn't even know how long I would have been dead. We are master and disciple, but we are father and son.
I don't know if anyone here knows about Mount Zhongnan, but there are many people like my master there. They live in the mountains, keeping themselves in touch with nature and isolated from the outside world. If it's not necessary, they never leave the mountains. They are self-sufficient in their lives. You can call them hermits. Of course, they are not chivalrous men, nor do they know any martial arts. They are just mortals who are tired of the world.
"My master is just an ordinary person who likes peace and doesn't like outsiders to disturb his peaceful life. He will teach me everything he can, but it's not convenient for me to say the details. Alright, that's all." After saying that, Xia Qiu slowly left. He missed the old Taoist a little.
Everyone was speechless. It was over. There were still many questions that had not been asked.# Date:**:46PM
