"The Conspiracy" became a hit as soon as it was released, not to mention literature lovers. Due to the popular nature of this novel and the secrets such as intelligence secrets involved, even ordinary people couldn't help but join in the discussion.
Words such as intelligence, surveillance, and agents spread with the novel, further deepening the people's desire to explore. But so far, the above content has only been mentioned in the novel "The Conspiracy" and cannot be found anywhere else.
There is no other way, readers who are interested in this kind of information can only join the buying army.
Ordinary readers are like this, and those in Beijing circles are not exempt from it either.
This day is another gathering of good friends such as Liu Suola and Wang Shuo.
Jiang Yulou was originally invited to this party, but unfortunately he had something to do and couldn't come.
For Wang Shuo, gatherings are a happy event. Why, because he likes to brag, and he always makes his bragging come true.
Especially when I have been inspired to write recently, I can’t help but want to play with it.
However, when everyone arrived, he realized something was wrong.
Why?
Why do these grandsons at their gathering all have a copy of "The Conspiracy"?
What the hell is this?
Especially Liu Sola, oh, sister Sola, you are just like a common person!
Wang Shuo's distressed expression was quickly noticed, "Hey, Master Shuo, what's wrong with you, are you constipated?"
"Ha ha ha ha."
Everyone laughed.
Wang Shuo muttered: "What's wrong, what's wrong, don't let me eat up my stomach."
After saying that, he asked in a calm tone: "Why do you each get a copy of Yu Lou's novel? Why, when did you become a fan of his books? Why didn't I know?"
Liu Sola smiled slightly and said, "It's very well written, so I bought it to have a look."
When Wang Shuo saw the goddess's smile, his heart twitched violently, and then he glanced at the others as if nothing had happened, "What about you, what's going on?"
"Of course I am interested in the mysterious 701 in the novel."
"Yeah, is it really that suspenseful?"
"Our country has a large population, and there are also many strange people and strange things. I guess there are some, right?"
"Master Shuo knows these things best, doesn't he? Let's talk about it."
So that’s the reason, these grandsons!
Wang Shuo was so angry that his dark skin was slightly red. He couldn't help but gritted his teeth and said: "I have told you so many stories before, but you didn't listen. Why did Yulou become a novel and you became curious!"
"Who doesn't know that you like to brag the most, and most of the stories you tell are true. But what is written in the Yulou book is so damn real, as if it is true."
"Yes, even the ending of the protagonist is too tragic. Yulou is a bit useless."
"No, they are all heroes of the country, why do they all die so painfully?"
"It sucks, but it's so well written."
A little happy, but also a little angry.
Obviously I told Jiang Yulou many of the stories. If I wrote it into a novel myself...
Thinking of this, Wang Shuo's face flickered, and his heart felt even more indescribably sad.
Forget it, let’s pretend for a moment before saying, “I can say this, the stories in the novel are all based on prototypes.”
Wang Shuo talked freely at the dinner party and liked the feeling of being the center of attention.
It's just that occasionally when my eyes glance at Liu Sora, I feel strange. She seems to be listening, but I always feel that her heart is elsewhere.
…
The popularity of "The Conspiracy" gradually spread across the country.
Not to mention Yanjing, even Lu Yao, who lives in Chang'an, couldn't help but go to Xinhua Bookstore and buy a copy of "The Conspiracy" after writing.
In the evening, he rarely wrote a novel, but started reading it.
Lu Yao's wife glanced at him and asked, "What's going on? Didn't you read this novel once when it was first published? Why did you buy it back again?"
"It's different, this is a single volume." Lu Yao replied casually.
"The content is always the same, right?"
"The content has not changed, but after re-reading it, it gave me a completely new experience."
"What is it?"
After Lu Yao thought for a moment, he replied: "How should I put it? Yulou's novel is unique in its lyrical narrative method, which amplifies the narrator's subjective perspective and inner feelings. The emotional narrative contains thinking, judgment and lyricism. The aesthetic appeal penetrates the storyline itself, making the narrative more immersive. In Yulou’s words, it is easy to empathize.”
Speaking of this, he said with admiration: "Transforming the writing of history or heroes into personal experience, perfectly combining it with personal pain, this is the uniqueness of art. After writing two novels, Yulou wrote The improvement in skills is incredible. My initial judgment was correct, he is just a writer."
"It's rare to see you praise someone so much," the wife said.
"Yulu is the special one." Lu Yao said with a smile: "Although he is young and sometimes makes people feel out of place, he also gives people a very reliable feeling. As long as everyone knows him, there is no one who doesn't like him. This kind of character."
"Really?" The wife nodded thoughtfully.
…
The sales of "The Conspiracy" have been rising all over the country, especially when readers discovered such a unique novel, they flocked to it.
After receiving the order from the national bookstore system, the Contemporary Editorial Department chose to print the book without hesitation.
For this reason, Meng Weizai, accompanied by Ji Zhenghuai, approached Jiang Yulou.
"Yulou, your novel is very popular!"
"Thanks to the channels of our magazine, otherwise it would not be easy to achieve such good results."
"Even if our channels are powerful, the prerequisite is that your novels must be of good quality."
"Hey, isn't this what Editor Meng still has in mind?"
"Hey, you kid."
Meng Weizai smiled and said, "I came to see you this time because I want to talk about adding seals."
"No problem, as long as you pay me, the more I print, the happier I will be." Jiang Yulou said with a smile.
"Money is indispensable for you." Meng Weizai said with emotion: "Your novel is really out of the circle. It is talked about in newspapers, discussed on the radio, and even people in our editorial department are discussing it."
Jiang Yulou smiled.
He was not surprised at all that this novel could arouse such a big response.
In the previous life, this novel not only had high sales, but was also selected into the collection of seventy novels in the seventy years of the Republic. It also won the Mao Dun Literary Award. It also had excellent copyright development and has been published in TV series and movies.
"The Conspiracy" is unquestionable in terms of its performance and influence.
What really has an impact is actually the advanced creative concepts from later generations that are different from contemporary novels.
In the words of later generations, it gave the current literary world a small shock in terms of creative concepts.
The literary world didn't notice it at first, but as the novel's influence grew, they had to pay attention.
Of course, this is a story for another day.
"Yulou, I'm here this time, and I have good news to tell you."
