Chapter 1088 The earliest tomb robbing novel!
Zhou Shi followed Lin Xiuzhi in.
After seeing Sir Yang sitting in front of his desk.
At this time, there were already printed outlines of the two novels "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" and "Tomb Raider Notes" in front of my desk.
"Sir Yang, I'm here."
"Editor Zhou, this is the outline of the novel I prepared. You can read it first."
Zhou Shi took it respectfully.
Then he sat there and watched.
The other party was also a scholar, so he didn't take it seriously at first. However, when he saw the title of the novel, especially the words "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", he was really surprised.
A good novel can often be seen from its title.
Now Zhou Shi is also like that, he thinks the title of this novel is very inspiring.
What is a ghost and what is a blowing out a lamp? Together, what is a ghost blowing out a lamp?
However, when he read the synopsis, he knew it was a tomb-robbing novel.
It can be said that the excavation of ancient tombs has a long history in our country.
Archaeological data from the Neolithic period reveal incidents of deliberate destruction of tombs. The earliest stolen tomb recorded in history is the tomb of Shang Tang, the first king of the Shang Dynasty. This tomb is about 3600 years old.
After the social changes of the Spring and Autumn Period, when etiquette broke down and music collapsed, the trend of lavish burials emerged, and tomb robbing became increasingly popular. Qin Gong No. 1 Tomb in Fengxiang, Shaanxi Province is the largest tomb from the pre-Qin period discovered so far, and it is also the largest tomb excavated using scientific archaeological methods in my country.
There were 247 robbery holes found in this ancient tomb, of which more than 10 were directly penetrated into the coffin chamber.
General Qiu Falang of Cao Cao in the Three Kingdoms, and Captain Mo Jin.
The Tang Dynasty's so-called poems such as "there are many mosquitoes and flies in the group of robbers", "the sound of hoeing in the barren grave", "the skull is half out of the ground", "crisscrossing under the bones", etc. also reflect the common practice of tomb robbing.
During the reign of Emperor Daizong of the Tang Dynasty, Guo Ziyi's father's tomb was robbed, and some people suspected that it was Yu Chaoen's instigation. When Guo Ziyi talked about this in front of the emperor, he admitted that the troops he commanded often destroyed tombs.
In addition, there are actually tomb robbing novels that appeared in Xiangjiang at the earliest.

Ni Kuang was the first to come up with the idea of the "Tomb Robbers Trio". As early as "Tomb Robbers", he created three master tomb robbers, Qi Bai, Virus, and Shan Si. He also imagined a large number of ancient tomb mechanisms, tomb robbing techniques, and tomb robbing masters. Martial Arts etc.
The first cemetery Ni Kuang visited was the tomb of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shihuang, and he discovered the story of the resurrection of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses. Later Zhang Yimou's movie "The Love of the Qin Terracotta Warriors in Ancient and Modern Times" also came from this.
Ni Kuang was also the first to design crises such as corpse transformation, poison poisoning, and human recovery. The plots of his tomb-robbery novels are interlocking and dangerous, making people want to put them down.
The most imaginative part lies in the plot of stealing the alien's ancient tomb and the final plot where Qi Bai and the messenger from the underworld, Li Xuanxuan, are together. This kind of imagination has yet to be matched by anyone.
Ni Kuang's description of the environment and techniques of tomb robbing also goes beyond ordinary imagination. Among the three tomb robbers, Qi Bai was the most sophisticated in his tomb robbing methods. The method of "finding pearls from Li" that he devised later could avoid the traps in the tomb and "fish" out precious artifacts without entering the tomb, surpassing the average person. The traditional concept of "tomb robbers must go down the corridor".
Zhou Shi had read "Tomb Robbery" written by Ni Kuang, but the audience at that time was not large and the influence was not very good.
Now, he looked at the synopsis of the novel given by Sir Yang and said: "Sir Yang, in fact, Ni Kuang has published a similar tomb robbery novel in Ming Pao before, but the market response was just average."
Ni Kuang?
Yang Ming knew that Ni Kuang mainly wrote the Wesley series of novels, and even wrote about UFO aliens.
However, the most famous is indeed the Wesley series of novels. If Zhou Shi hadn't reminded him, he would never have thought that Ni Kuang had already written a tomb-robbery novel in this era.
However, it never became a genre and its influence was not great.
Obviously, the tomb-robbing novels written by Tian Xia Ba Chang and Nanpai Sanshu are very mature in terms of the world view of the story.
In Yang Ming's previous life, although he knew about the Wesley series of novels written by Ni Kuang, he really hadn't read many of them, let alone the tomb-robbery novels written by him.
"However, the outline of the novel you provided, Sir Yang, is more like a real tomb robbery novel, and it is still very different from Ni Kuang's."
This is inevitable.
If Ni Kuang's writing in history was really that good, he wouldn't have just written some novels related to tomb robbing, but written many, and even been developed into movies and TV series.
No, that is to say that the other party's writing is not good, the audience is not large, and it is much worse than the world's most popular singer, the Southern Third Uncle.
"You take it back and have someone complete the outline first, and then write it out through the Queen's Gunman. Once I think it's OK, I'll start serializing it officially in the Oriental Daily novel column."
"Yes, Sir Yang."
After Zhou Shi left.
Yang Ming was still thinking, thinking that no one in Xiangjiang had written a tomb-robbery novel, but unexpectedly, everyone had.
However, Ni Kuang has written it.
The novel outline provided by Yang Ming is completely different from what Ni Kuang wrote, and may have different effects.
. . .
three days later.
Office of the Chairman of Imperial Group.
Zhou Shi is here.
He came back with a more complete outline of the novels "Gui Blowing the Lamp" and "Tomb Raider Notes".
This was written after consultation with a group of imperial literati, and was expanded on the novel outline given by Yang Ming.
Yang Ming could tell.
After they discussed and expanded the outline of the novel, it did become different and more perfect.
Yang Ming had no problem after reading it and asked: "How is the sales of Oriental Daily now?"
A few days ago, the Imperial Group has officially taken over Oriental Daily, and the Ma family has completely withdrawn from Oriental Daily.
In Yang Ming's estimation, without those hidden gentlemen, Oriental Daily's sales would definitely decline.
However, Yang Ming was not sure how it would fall.
"Sir Yang, the current sales of Oriental Daily are relatively stable, around 300,000 copies."
Still very stable?
Could it be that the departure of the Ma family had not affected those hidden gentlemen?
Some Oriental Daily newspapers still continue to write news that hidden gentlemen can understand.
"It's still relatively stable now, but as time goes by, those hidden gentlemen will give up on Oriental Daily and look for other new channels."
"Then do you think the Ma family will establish a new newspaper to serve those hidden gentlemen?"
"Sir Yang, since the Ma family has taken the initiative to sell Oriental Daily to you and the Imperial Group, the Ma family dare not re-establish such a newspaper."
After all, one end had just sold its own newspaper, and the other end had established a new one. Wasn't this a deliberate attempt to defraud Sir Yang's money?
The Ma family simply didn't dare to do that.
Yang Ming nodded.
"First let me tell you the outlines of the two novels, and then show me the first serialized content. If you think it's okay, I can arrange for it to be published."
