Heaven and Earth are Unmerciful, [Zhu Xian] Becomes a Hit

Chapter 140 Heaven and Earth are Unmerciful, [Zhu Xian] Becomes a Hit

From the very beginning of modern print media, journalists have been hailed as the uncrowned kings.

They control the propaganda line and can easily steer public opinion, ruining a person's reputation.

【Yes!】That's how we dealt with Liu Ximing before.

When Liu Yahuazi is portrayed as a transgender person by the media in the future, some people will actually believe it.

Therefore, given any possibility, no one, especially celebrities in the entertainment industry, would confront the media head-on.

The consequences were too severe for them to bear.

However, He Xi and [yes!] have long since broken off relations, and no matter how much they fight, the other side will never say a good word about him.

They'll just spout all sorts of baseless rumors, like they did just now, without any evidence whatsoever.

He Xi naturally wouldn't indulge them.

Anyway, he's already established a relationship with Ming Pao, so even if Yes! criticizes him, he'll have a place to voice his opposition.

Moreover, it's a good opportunity to promote the game "Zhu Xian".

Good wine needs no bush, and while Ming Pao may not be in a hidden alley, it can never promote itself enough.

Moreover, simply promoting "Zhu Xian" is not enough.

"Also, I recently drew a comic called 'Impermanence,' which will be released throughout Hong Kong soon."

"Any moviegoer who buys a ticket to see 'Sex Is Zero' can receive a free first issue of the comic book after the movie by showing their ticket stub."

"You can take a few copies back with you when the time comes."

"After watching this, tell me, just how much influence and capital do I need to find so many people to ghostwrite for me, making movies, writing songs, writing novels, and drawing comics!"

"If I truly possessed such power, do you think that one little 'yes!' from you could continue to challenge me?"

The reporter who said "yes!" was immediately silenced.

He wanted to retort, but He Xi's words made him afraid to speak.

Because he knew that what He Xi did was something their boss, Ni Zhen, definitely couldn't do, and even hiring a ghostwriter couldn't accomplish.

So either He Xi is truly talented, or he has a powerful figure behind him with far more connections than Ni Kuang, who is helping him.

Neither of these possibilities can be overcome by "yes!"

However, the reporter did not leave.

Since we're already here, of course we have to attend the press conference and get all the news.

After He Xi's scathing critique of "yes!", the atmosphere of the rest of the interview became much more harmonious.

No one deliberately caused trouble anymore, and everyone asked questions related to "form is emptiness," "impermanence," and "Zhu Xian."

He Xi naturally tried her best to answer their questions, as long as they didn't involve spoilers that would affect box office and comic sales.

The story of He Xi's defiant response to the reporter at the press conference, saying "yes!", quickly spread.

Not long ago, Liu Ximing was forced to leave for Taiwan, and the conflict between He Xi and Ni Zhen had long been out in the open.

Whether or not someone is a fan of Vivian Chow, they all know this.

So this matter quickly became a topic of conversation for almost everyone in Hong Kong.

It's even starting to gain wider recognition.

If you don't discuss it with people, they'll think you're some old country bumpkin.

As the discussion progressed, the names "Form is Emptiness," "Impermanence," and "Zhu Xian" became more widely known and anticipated.

Just as this sense of anticipation was about to reach its peak, the latest issue of Ming Pao was published.

The novel's cover begins with these words printed in large print.

【Zhu Xian】—The bible of martial arts fiction in the post-Jin Yong era!

"Tch! Such a big mouth, huh?"

The reader was immediately taken aback by this tone.

They're directly trying to piggyback on Jin Yong's works, and they even dare to call it the "Bible"!

Who gave you the courage?

Liang ————

Is it Jia Hui?

Although readers may have scoffed at these views, they did not dislike the book because of them.

After all, Hong Kong media outlets love to use exaggerated headlines to attract attention; they've long been used to it.

Filled with skepticism and curiosity, the readers began to read the main text.

Heaven and earth are ruthless, treating all things like straw dogs!

"hiss!"

The very first sentence immediately takes the reader by surprise.

Some people have heard this saying, and some haven't.

But at this moment, everyone felt the same shock as when they first saw the phrase "The greatest heroes are those who serve their country and its people."

They were immediately drawn to the world of cultivation in the vast land of China.

Qingyun, Tianyin, and Fenxiang are the three most prestigious and righteous sects.

The struggle between the three schools of thought: Buddhism, Taoism, and Demonism.

Immortal Slayer, Dragon Slayer, Soul Devourer, Heavenly Jade — these are magnificent magical treasures with different origins and effects.

Legendary and contemporary masters such as Qingyunzi, Qingye Ancestor, Black Heart Old Man, Daoxuan, Cangsong, and Puzhi.

Taiji Xuanqing Dao, Dafan Prajna, Divine Sword Thunder Control True Technique ——————

Everything quickly draws readers into that fantastical and magnificent world of cultivation.

And they began to feel sorry for and hope for Zhang Xiaofan, a stubborn young man with a tragic background, whose whole village died, and whose first love was cheated on, but who was determined.

"He cultivates both Buddhism and Taoism, and also possesses the supreme magic weapon of the demonic path. Although Zhang Xiaofan's aptitude is average and his personality is dull, he will definitely achieve great things in the future."

"Absolutely! The Buddhist, Taoist, and Demonic schools, each clinging to their own traditions, go their separate ways. But Zhang Xiaofan combines the strengths of all three, making him invincible!"

"But between those two girls, Biyao and Lu Xueqi, who is actually the female lead?"

"I like Lu Xueqi; it's the kind of icy beauty that's most satisfying to conquer!"

"Biyao's personality is so much more fun; she can change positions without you even having to say a word—"

The rivalry between Biyao and Lu Xueqi for the female lead is beginning to unfold.

At the same time, opinions on the so-called "post-Jin Yong era martial arts bible" have become polarized.

Some people still believe that it is overestimating one's abilities.

However, some people are drawn to the plot and believe that as long as the current plot and writing style are maintained, it may not be impossible to compete with Jin Yong.

The two groups naturally started arguing again.

Amidst these arguments, [Zhu Xian] is undoubtedly...

More and more people are becoming curious about "Zhu Xian" and are buying "Ming Pao" to read it.

The popularity of "Zhu Xian" has been rising, and even the sales of "Ming Pao" have seen a slight increase.

This is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for Ming Pao, whose sales have declined significantly since completely severing ties with Jin Yong.

Editor-in-Chief Lin personally called He Xi to praise her work and subtly urged her to submit the manuscript.

After He Xi released another 200,000-word manuscript, he stopped paying attention to the "Zhu Xian" project.

With the release of "Form Is Emptiness," the first installment of "Impermanence" is also fully prepared.

On Friday, March 4th, "Sex Is Zero" officially premiered at Xinbao Cinemas.

The comic book "Impermanence" has also been placed on the counters of various theaters.

On the cover, Black Flag Tiger is half-stanceled in a horse stance, wearing a black and white "Wuchang Outfit", with a huge horse-slaying sword on his shoulder.
