Chapter 264 Competing Imitations

"Hopefully, it's a happy ending!"

All the guesses were just guesses. The netizens could only pass the time.

All they could do now was wait for the update tomorrow.

The next day, six o'clock in the evening.

*The Legend of Sword and Fairy* was updated on time, and those impatient netizens poured in.

They wanted to see if anyone had guessed the ending correctly.

But the book fans who finished the ending first regretted clicking in.

The final plot was beyond everyone's expectations.

Li Xiaoyao defeated the Lord of the Moon Sect, but the cost was unbearable.

Besides Li Xiaoyao,

Only the Sword Saint, who cultivated the Supreme Path of Emotional Detachment, was left alive.

Li Xiaoyao's last words to the Sword Saint would probably forever remain in the memories of all readers.

Li Xiaoyao: "Do you understand?"

This sentence was plain, but extremely powerful!

It was filled with silent accusations!

However, such an ending was unacceptable to all readers!

Book fans who had been looking forward to it all day poured into Lu Xuan's Weibo, leaving messages.

"What about the happy ending you promised!"

"My heart is uneasy! So uneasy!!!"

"Change the ending, I don't accept this ending!"

"That's right, this is not a good ending at all, how can you treat them like this!"

"Change the ending!"

Every book fan who read this book had a favorite character in their heart.

But in the end, none of them had a satisfactory ending.

But no matter how they left messages, Lu Xuan didn't respond at all.

As the number of people pouring into Weibo increased, *The Legend of Sword and Fairy* went straight to the top of the Weibo hot search list.

Unsurprisingly, Weibo crashed again!

No one expected that such a thing would be revealed late at night.

The Weibo staff were directly dragged out of their beds by their leaders and rushed to the company to work.

Before dawn, they rescued the crashed server.

After logging back in, the first thing netizens did was flood Lu Xuan's Weibo to see if there were any new announcements.

But the result was destined to be disappointing.

They could only leave messages below, again and again.

Su Yao looked at the messages from the book fans on her phone and said to Lu Xuan with some concern, "Look at these netizens' messages, should we change the ending again?"

"No, this ending is the best ending." Lu Xuan refused without hesitation, "The essence of this story lies in this ending, so it can't be changed."

"Besides, you see, some people in front said that I am a traditional literature author, isn't that what traditional literature endings are like!"

"I have fully learned the advanced experience of traditional literature, so it can be said to be very successful."

Su Yao couldn't think of any good ideas to refute Lu Xuan's sophistry for a while.

She could only shake her head helplessly.

"Okay, what you said makes sense, but you have to be careful when you go out next time."

Jiang Tiansheng sat in his office and finished reading the last chapter of *The Legend of Sword and Fairy*, letting out a long breath.

He couldn't figure out why Lu Xuan could come up with such an excellent work so easily.

In his opinion, this work was a dimensionality reduction blow to the works on the market.

Originally, he planned to take this work down and establish his leading position in the Xianxia (immortal hero) TV drama category.

But when he learned that the author was Lu Xuan, Jiang Tiansheng gave up.

His eager heart became calm again.

"Forget it, let the scriptwriting department work harder."

He gave up the idea of ​​making *The Legend of Sword and Fairy*.

At least if he kept a low profile, he could still have a meal.

After pondering for a while, he called his assistant to the office.

"Now gather all the editors and directors of our group in the conference room. I need to change the plan I made some time ago."

"Be quick."

Jiang Tiansheng was very confident in his judgment, so he directly pulled people and started studying *The Legend of Sword and Fairy*.

"The thing you have to do now is very simple."

"Take this book apart from top to bottom. I need you to imitate this book and launch a new work."

One of the editors felt a little confused.

"President Jiang, our Xianxia dramas can be described as a monopoly. Wouldn't it be better to just buy the book if we like it?"

"Moreover, I don't think this book can threaten us."

Listening to the words of his subordinates, Jiang Tiansheng felt that holding this meeting was too crucial.

These people were indeed looking at this book with the idea that they were very awesome.

If this book started to exert its strength, or even if he made a TV series to compete with this book,

I'm afraid that the advantages he had accumulated during this period would become Lu Xuan's wedding dress.

The market he had worked so hard to develop would also be given to Lu Xuan.

Thinking of this, his tone couldn't help but become a bit stern.

"This book was written by Lu Xuan. I don't know if you have paid attention to it, but this book is already a hit on the Internet and is currently the most watched Xianxia web novel."

"I contacted him before and wanted to buy the film and television adaptation rights of this book, but I was directly rejected."

"Think about it, if Lu Xuan uses this book to open up the Xianxia TV drama market, what works do we have to compete with?"

Jiang Tiansheng directly stated his most sincere thoughts.

He was really afraid that these editors would be arrogant and neglect this matter, and the final result would be tragic.

Sure enough, there were still voices of rebuttal from below.

"I admit that this book does have its own unique features, but it is still a bit difficult to successfully adapt it into a TV series."

This editor hesitated, he wanted to ask his superior if he had been scared out of his wits by Lu Xuan.

But he took the words back when they came to his lips.

But Jiang Tiansheng still insisted on his judgment.

"I believe in my vision, and this book has now been confirmed by those readers to be a good book."

"Since there is already an audience, there must be a market."

"All other projects of the group that have not yet been established are all suspended. All of you editors who have no work now should all learn to imitate this book. We will launch an imitation drama next."

Jiang Tiansheng's words were not discussing with his subordinates, but he was really expressing his own thoughts.

The editors looked at each other. Although they were still a little unconvinced in their hearts, they still chose to obey.

After all, this was their immediate boss.

In terms of company decisions, they still had to listen to Jiang Tiansheng.

Moreover, Jiang Tiansheng was not forcing them. Anyone who could be the first to imitate a work that he was satisfied with would receive a bonus.
