Chapter 2626 [Update 1]
"What's Lao Si?" the guard asked Wang Yong in a hoarse voice with a puzzled look on his face.
Wang Yong thought the security guard had poor hearing, so he leaned close to his ear and shouted, "Teacher Jiang Ning!"
The security guard waved his hand: "No such old thought!"
Wang Yong thought the old man couldn't hear him clearly, so he raised his voice and shouted into the doorman's ear, "Uncle! I! am! looking for! Teacher! Jiang! Ning!"
The security guard also thought that the young man had poor hearing at such a young age, so he also shouted loudly, shaking his hands and answering word by word: "No! Such! Old! Si!"
Wang Yong got anxious. He picked up the pen tied to the security guard registration form and wrote down the words "Jiang Ning": "Jiang Ning! Jiang! Ning! Teacher!"
"I don't know him! I don't know him!" The guard waved his hands and said, "You've got the wrong guy. We don't have this Lao Si here!"
Wang Yong stood outside the gate of Wucheng No. 1 High School, looking at the words "Wucheng No. 1 High School" clearly written on the gatehouse above the iron gate. He then looked at the envelope in his hand and thought to himself that it was correct.
Is there something wrong with my accent?
As a native of Guangzhou, Wang Yong still has some doubts about his accent even though he graduated from the Media College. After all, there is a big difference between their Guangzhou dialect and Mandarin.
In addition to the old man's obvious local accent, he was also afraid that he might have heard it wrong or did not understand what the old man meant. He wanted to wait for other classmates to come out and ask one of them. However, he didn't know that this high school was actually a closed management school. Except for breakfast and dinner time, some classmates would come through the big iron gate to buy some food. Usually, there were only some day students who came to the school very early for morning reading.
You know, there are morning reading classes and evening self-study classes in the second and third year of high school. The evening self-study class lasts until 9:30 in the evening, and the freshmen have to stand at attention after school.
Yes, Jiang Ning and her friends’ one-week military training has begun.
On the first day, they were basically practicing standing at attention and turning left and right. Because Jiang Ning stood at attention well, she was called to the flag-raising platform on the first day. Facing the scorching sun, she stood on the high concrete platform that was emitting fiery heat for two hours without any shade. She was so exhausted that she wanted to cry but had no tears.
Who made her a leader before she was reborn? She had to pay attention to her image all the time, especially since she was a female leader, a pretty female leader. Female leaders who are a little bit good-looking and are promoted quickly in the system will usually dress themselves in a mature and steady way, and their temperament is even more serious.
But it's okay. She was promoted all the way without any bad rumors. Everyone knew that she was promoted quickly because she had good connections, flattered people loudly, and was the confidant of the big boss.
Well, the top leader is also a woman.
They were used to pretending at work, so during the military training, they couldn't help but show their utmost seriousness. Their every move was as standard as if measured with a ruler. They were immediately noticed by the platoon leader and were picked out as a model of military posture.
Then the chief instructor also saw that she was a thin and small girl, but her military posture was more standard than that of the boys, and she was carried to the flag-raising platform which was scorched by the sun.
In fact, when Jiang Ning was standing at attention, her mind was full of thoughts about the following plot of "I Am in the Song Dynasty". How could she cleverly combine this case with the era of the Song Dynasty without any discord while also being full of martial arts style? How could she show the characteristics of each character through their language, behavior, and micro-expressions, and then slowly connect them with the subsequent cases to lay the groundwork in advance.
The characters that appeared earlier cannot be lost in the later stage. To sort out more juicy sources, you can come to consult the group, 522752. Every time a new character appears, you have to give them a brief biography, so that when they are needed to advance the plot later, they can be brought out at any time.
Her mind was completely blank.
The instructor was still shouting, "Look at her. She is just a small girl, but she has a lot of energy. Under the scorching sun, she stands straight, not swaying, and holds her head high, showing the high morale and spirit of our contemporary high school students!"
He was really moved by the learning spirit of the 610 dormitory that night. It was so similar to the soldiers who trained every day to defend their country!
He admires young people like these who are hard-working, diligent and striving!
Not only Jiang Ning, the chief instructor and the female instructor looked at all the girls in Room 610 with full of admiration and satisfaction.
At this time, Wang Yong was still wandering at the gate of No. 1 Middle School.
The security guard looked at him suspiciously several times, fearing that he was a gangster who came to date the girls in their school.
What's the matter with that? Don't try to fool an old man like me. I have to keep a close eye on the door!
Wang Yong is a college student who just graduated this year from the School of Communication. He is currently interning at the "Wuxia" magazine. Due to market impact and personnel changes, the "Wuxia" magazine is in crisis, just like many factories that are about to go bankrupt. Wang Yong and other college students who entered the magazine that is about to be closed down do not even have a regular position and are still contract workers.
But the popularity of the latest three issues of "Wuxia" gave Wang Yong hope.
He came to a small grocery store next to the school gate, which was a snack shop, stationery store, and newsstand all in one. Hanging in the most eye-catching position on the iron mesh at the entrance were the latest issues of "Wuxia", "Reader", and "Youth Digest". The most eye-catching title in "Wuxia" was the one in bold red font on the waistband: "The Years I Was a Constable in the Song Dynasty"!
Wang Yong took a look at the table spread out below. He originally thought he would see magazines, but in the most conspicuous position were all tutorial books on various subjects, such as "Longmen Special Topics", "Huanggang Military Strategy", "Haidian Famous Topics" and so on.
He pointed at the magazine "Wu Xia" clipped on the white iron net and asked the lady boss who was knitting at the counter, "Do you have the latest issue of "Wu Xia"?"
"There are three more. Do you want them?" She pulled out three copies of "Martial Arts" from under the counter. "They just came from South City. They sold out in no time. If you want to buy them, hurry up."
The boss lady's attitude was not very enthusiastic.
She is a family member of the director of the political and educational department of No. 1 Middle School. She runs a unique shop at the school gate. There are bookstores at the gates of other schools, but none of them are as close to hers, so her shop never has trouble selling its products.
Wang Yong wanted to open it and take a look first, but the proprietress stopped him quickly: "Do you want it? If you want it, open it. If you don't want it, don't open it."
The magazine is wrapped in a transparent packaging bag and there are martial arts-style character cards on the cover. Once the magazine is opened, the cards are easy to lose.
The character in this issue of the magazine is a hand-painted version of Kenny Ho’s Zhan Zhao.
Yes, she is not the heroine of "The Song Dynasty", but she directly took advantage of the popularity of "Justice Bao" and made the hand-painted version of Zhan Zhao the cover character, and also printed it on the promotional waistband of "The Song Dynasty", making Zhan Zhao and "The Song Dynasty" a perfect combination.
Director Li understands publicity.
Wang Yong wanted to get some information, so he bought a book to sort out the sources. He could consult the group at 522752. Then he asked the lady boss, "Excuse me, is there a teacher named Jiang Ning in this school?"
The proprietress looked him up and down warily: "What are you doing?"
He quickly took out his work ID and turned to the most eye-catching page in the "Martial Arts" book. "I'm the editor of "Martial Arts" magazine. I'm here to look for the author of "The Years I Was a Constable in the Song Dynasty" to urge him to submit his manuscript. The address he left is here." As he said that, he showed the envelope that Jiang Ning had sent to the proprietress.
The proprietress took the envelope, looked at the address and the vigorous handwriting, and returned it to Wang Yong, shaking her head indifferently: "I don't know him."
If Wang Yong was a local who had just graduated from college, the proprietress would definitely be very enthusiastic. After all, who doesn’t like young guys? Who doesn’t have a relative who’s single?
But Wang Yong's accent clearly showed that he was from another place, and the address on his work permit was Guangzhou, which was so far away that she was not interested.
Besides, she really didn't know him.
However, Wang Yong felt that these people did not trust him and did not tell him the information about Teacher Jiang, so they were on guard against him.
He couldn't help but think in frustration, does he look so much like a bad guy?
At the same time, as the magazines were launched in the three cities of Guangzhou, Nanshi and Shanghai, a large number of letters from readers also flew to the magazines in these three cities.
This time, in addition to the original male readers of "Wuxia" magazine, there are also many female readers.
Female readers have always been a huge consumer group, and their purchasing volume is no less than that of male readers. In the past, the magazine "Wuxia" mostly had male protagonists, and the serialized content was all about fighting and killing. It was hard to find a female protagonist, but well, they were all studs. Its main readership group was also male. This time, the magazine "Wuxia" had a protagonist from a female perspective for the first time, which naturally attracted many female readers.
Female readers have different concerns.
This time the magazine directly used the photo of Zhan Zhao for publicity. In "I'm in the Song Dynasty", although Zhan Zhao has not appeared yet, the heroine's father is just a senior constable in the government office under Kaifeng Prefecture. The story takes place in Kaifeng Prefecture, and the hidden line in the front seems to reveal that Bao Zheng, Zhan Zhao and others will follow the unfolding of the case later. The heroine will also upgrade the map slowly like killing monsters, and lead Zhan Zhao and others out one by one, and officially enter the Kaifeng government office, enter the vision of Bao Zheng and Zhan Zhao and others, and enter the eyes of the truly all-powerful high-level people of the Song Dynasty.
This feeling is like there is a carrot hanging in front of you, or like there is a hook, which hooks the readers tightly and gives them an inexplicable, secret feeling of pleasure like a cat's claws scratching their hearts.
Especially the female readers, watching the version of Zhan Zhao played by Kenny Ho on TV, with his sharp eyebrows, bright eyes and majestic bearing, could not help but put themselves in the perspective of the female protagonist, expecting that the male protagonist was Zhan Zhao. Various letters flew into the magazine like snowflakes, asking Zhan Zhao to come out quickly and asking if the male protagonist was Zhan Zhao.
Director Li read these letters and couldn't help but say to Editor-in-Chief Bao, "The heroine is only twelve years old, why would we need a male lead? The main readership of our magazine is male readers. You should email Ning Meng right away, but don't come up with any male lead!"
Bao Huixin, as the female editor-in-chief, feels the same as the female readers that there can be a male protagonist, but she still said: "We can put Zhan Zhao in the back, so that female readers will also come."
The two old friends who have worked together for many years couldn't help but smile at each other and both thought it was a good idea.
What worries old readers is that although the first case was concluded in the third issue, the second case was lost at a critical moment.
Old readers wrote letters to criticize the magazine. On the one hand, they scolded the magazine for its decline, saying that a magazine focusing on martial arts had actually started serializing criminal investigation and mystery novels, which was a complete disappointment to their readers. On the other hand, they urged the magazine to release the following content as soon as possible and stop keeping people in suspense.
Some people watched "The Song Dynasty" but were still not satisfied, so they went back to watch "Justice Bao". While "Judge Bao" made "The Song Dynasty" popular, the hot sales of "Wuxia" also brought "Judge Bao" higher ratings, making "Judge Bao", which already had high ratings, once again usher in a new high in ratings.
Many viewers and readers also called the TV stations that bought the rights to broadcast "Judge Bao" to ask whether "The Song Dynasty" is the sequel to "Judge Bao" and whether "Judge Bao" will have a second season.
So many viewers called the TV station and mentioned the article "The Great Song Dynasty", which made the TV station staff pay attention to the article "The Great Song Dynasty" and the magazine "Wuxia".
In order to find out the truth, the person in charge of the TV station asked the staff to buy "Wuxia" and found the article "The Great Song Dynasty" and started reading it.
