Chapter 440
"Hey, it's actually Jian Laoba?"
Some of them turned to a brand new page of the Horse Sutra, and some of them lost their voices unexpectedly.
Tang Zhongguang frowned imperceptibly. Naturally, he didn't like this kind of gambling-like information page.
But it is undeniable that publishing a single edition of the Horse Racing Book can indeed attract a considerable number of horse racing readers to buy it.
The Ma Jing edition of Tiantian Daily was handed over to Jian Erqing, who was contracted by Jian Er and his two brothers, and the newspaper office was responsible for printing.
By adopting such a cooperative approach, a lot of unnecessary troubles will be saved.
What's more, the new season will start in a few days, so naturally we have to hurry up and get started.
"Looking for Qin Ji, Huang Yi?"
Someone murmured in a low voice, glanced suspiciously at the proprietor sitting above, then lowered his head and continued reading.
But there was no change in the expression on Lu Dongjie's face. He would never admit that this kind of thing came from him.
For such an easy-to-understand novel, it would be strange for those moral guardians not to scold three generations of his ancestors.
He had finally built up the image of an outstanding young man, but he didn't want to be labeled as a polite scumbag.
There were two women present at the meeting whose faces turned red and they hurriedly turned over other pages.
The men read it with gusto and couldn't help but smile knowingly when they saw the embarrassed expressions on their female colleagues' faces.
Tang Zhongguang coughed lightly and reminded everyone not to dwell on details and pay attention to the impact.
He is a traditional newspaper man, so he naturally disdains using such vulgar novels to gain attention.
But now looking at the reaction of the following group of people, he probably raised objections that were ineffective.
Lu Dongjie took out this novel "Looking for Qin" by Huang Yi as the highlight of the cultural section.
Tiantian Daily, which has been silent for a long time, needs to come up with a novel that will make readers excited and unable to put it down.
Only by seducing readers' hearts and cultivating the reading habits of loyal readers can we increase the sales of daily newspapers.
Some people say that this "Looking for Qin" is a novel with a grand narrative structure, rich and charming characters.
Others praised the plot for its novelty and fun, ups and downs, twists and turns, etc.
To be honest, none of the above are the reasons why Lu Dongjie chose to use it.
There is no other reason than that it is yellow enough.
Compared with the current standards of novels serialized in newspapers, "Looking for Qin" is definitely a romantic novel.
Huang Yi wrote the background of this novel because the overall environment at that time was like this.
In the 1990s, the larger the sales volume of a newspaper, the more indispensable it was for the erotic novel edition.
When the author writes a novel, adding these plots is not only a requirement of the newspaper, but also meets the needs of market readers.
At the same time, these plots are actually meant to defraud manuscript fees, because writers charge royalties based on the number of words.
In order to defraud manuscript fees, some authors have tried to make the entire 2,000-word novel almost full of gasps of "Yeah! Yeah!" and "Uh! Uh!" from men and women, which is quite a spectacle.
The book "Looking for Qin" knows how to keep a rhythm that makes people follow it, and there will be a relationship plot almost every two chapters.
However, the author uses his pen to highlight the details and will not overly describe the details. He still wants to focus on the charm of the story.
And because it has enough words, it can be continued as a long series and whet the appetite of readers.
Of course, the erotic part is not polite either, and the level of explicitness will naturally make people blush.
Although this novel contains explicit plots, it is not a pornographic novel and does not violate press and publication regulations.
Of course, Tiantian Daily chose to publish this novel and was already prepared to be scolded.
But Tiantian Daily now has to solve the problem of survival, and put aside face and reputation for the time being.
Xiange magazines and movies with elements such as astringent sentiments are very popular in Hong Kong, but they have always been criticized.
There is no newspaper stall in Hong Kong and Kowloon that does not sell pornographic magazines. They are all displayed in the most conspicuous positions to attract customers.
The recent incident in the entertainment industry about the selling of a pornographic female star for money caused five major directors to immediately rush to make movies with this theme.
It can be seen that these cultural works with Xiange are very marketable and popular among readers.
Only by following the crowd can you make money. If you want to be a high-minded and fresh person, Tiantian Daily is waiting to go bankrupt.
Lu Dongjie has considerable confidence in this novel. Who doesn’t like to read a lonely hero and a stunning beauty?
In addition to the highlight of the cultural section, "Looking for Qin", there is also an unexpected little surprise.
Lu Dongjie specially reserved a place in this section and opened a small column for Lin Qingxia.
You can publish some diary-style miscellaneous stories about trivial matters in life, fun, experiences, etc.
Although these are trivial daily things with little nutrition, there will definitely be a large number of movie fans who will buy into them.
When Lin Qingxia usually talks to him on the phone, Lu Dongjie can selectively record small things.
It is equivalent to Lin Qingxia being responsible for dictation, Lu Dongjie being responsible for drafting and polishing, and the two of them work together to complete a manuscript.
In this way, the two of them can fall in love without losing their job. Honesty kills two birds with one stone.
Considering privacy issues, the content of the article can be treated with some artistic techniques.
Of course, it can also be said that Lu Dongjie wrote half-true and half-false stories for her because of her status as a beautiful actress.
Lin Qingxia was reluctant at first, but for the sake of her boyfriend's career, she half-heartedly agreed.
It's just that in order to persuade his girlfriend to publish this little column, Lu Dongjie signed countless unequal treaties.
After everyone finished reading a small column, they all showed some ambiguous smiles.
I have long heard that this young boss has an unusual relationship with Lin Qingxia, so it seems that the rumors are true.
That innocent and beautiful girl is okay in filming, but if I let her write the article by herself, I'm afraid she still lacks a bit of enthusiasm.
The article in their hands is similar to a miscellany, written so vividly and interestingly without losing emotional delicacy.
Although Lin Qingqing signed it personally, they did not think she could write an article of such quality.
It’s self-evident which ghostwriter it is.
Lu Dongjie saw their expressions in his eyes, but he would not take the initiative to explain anything to them.
But of course one Lin Qingxia is not enough, he also has several girlfriends.
The lovely Baodao singer also agreed to his request and will follow this approach when the time comes.
Lu Dongjie thought about this and suddenly remembered that he needed to pay the phone bill today.
If he were to choose the most sinister companies in Hong Kong, the telephone company and the Taitung Cable and Telegraph Bureau would definitely be at the top.
The minimum charge for international calls to Japan is RMB 45 (within three minutes), and charges will be RMB 9/minute thereafter.
Now Lu Dongjie's monthly phone bill is several times more than the salary of a white-collar worker working in Central.
Fortunately, every time he paid the phone bill, he took the initiative to pay the bill. Otherwise, if Mother Lu found out, she would definitely scold him.
If you want to contact relatives and friends abroad, it is most practical to send a telegram. This is charged based on the number of words, and the price is quite acceptable.
If it's not an urgent matter and it's a normal relationship, writing a letter is probably the best option.
Zhu Qianyu saw that her boss was distracted and couldn't help but remind him quietly.
Lu Dongjie came back to his senses, smiled at her, and continued to wait for them to finish reading the newspaper.
In any case, using popular movie stars and singers to attract traffic to Tiantian Daily is indeed one of his tricks.
