Chapter 172 Panic
A month has passed since the revision of "Singing the Contradictory" and it has come October. Hogwarts' Quidditch game started again. Harry also continued to participate in the competition as the main force of the academy team and maintained his dominance on the court.
However, this year, the focus of everyone's public opinion is obviously no longer on the Quidditch competition. Instead, they are discussing the book "Singing the Contradictory" which has only been released for four issues since its release.
What they care about is not only the bizarre or magical ideas of Xenofilius, but more about the recent "The Hobbit", known as the masterpiece of fantasy novels.
Ronan has used the speed of updating the web article to update "The Hobbit", so you can imagine that the Hobbit's size can't last for a few updates. In fact, the fourth episode of "The Hobbit" has been updated to Passing Changhu Town. In another episode, these Hobbit stories that the wizards have been thinking about day and night will come to an end, so the popularity has increased unprecedentedly.
After the revision, the first issue of "Singing the Contradictory" was released at 300 copies, the second issue had been released more than 1,000 copies, the third issue was a terrifying two thousand copies, and the fourth issue was even more exaggerated, with a total of 4,000 copies.
You should know that this is already more than the British magic circle. When asked later, it was not because of the large number of hidden people, but because many people bought more than a magazine.
Their reasons are very strange. It is said that the first act spread among the students of Hogwarts, which is like "Collection, read, preach".
It made others laugh and cry, and they were curious about how good this story was. So "The Hobbit" broke through the restrictions of nationality, age and gender in one fell swoop, and became a famous story in the entire European magic circle. It is said that the market price of the first issue of the magazine now exceeded 200 Gallons.
Fortunately, this story is about to end, otherwise the Prophet Daily Newspaper would really cry to death. They thought that taking advantage of the Ministry of Magic's disgust with "Singing the Contradictory" and could directly kill this fringe tabloid, but they did not expect that they would actually let them play the trick of phoenix rebirth and rebirth from the fire.
Barnabas Gulfie, editor of the Daily Prophet, has had poor sleep quality recently and often wakes up in the middle of the night because whenever he closes his eyes, he always dreams of his Daily Prophet has become a scene of a fringe tabloid going bankrupt.
"It must be competed!" He thought so, that they had never discovered this market before, thinking that such reading materials must be sent to the bookstore through publishers to find the target population, which was a huge strategic mistake.
The first singing magazine to take the lead is now full of popularity. Which magazine or newspaper can achieve the achievement of its circulation exceeding the local population? It is simply terrifying. If it weren't for people's demand for current affairs news that singing and opposing tunes for a while, then the bankruptcy of the Prophet Daily will have been almost a few months.
Fortunately, the transformation of singing the opposite tune requires time to adapt, and this adaptation period is the reaction period of the Prophet Daily.
"Fortunately there is still time, but fortunately it's almost over..." Barnabas Gu put down the new episode of "Singing the Contradictory" with lingering fear. This is the first time this week that I've done such an action.
Although he was defeated, he firmly believed in one thing, that is, an excellent story like "The Hobbit" cannot come like a sow gave birth, so there must be rescue.
"How is the progress of contacting Mr. Gidro Lohart?" asked Barnabas.
His assistant replied: "It's going very well, and the editor-in-chief, Mr. Gidro Lohart, has agreed to publish his next autobiography in our daily newspapers in a serialized newspaper, and he will soon mail his manuscript."
"Very good, then we have also announced a revision. In this regard, we really have to thank our opponents..."
As he said that, he looked at the magazine on the table again and asked, "Today seems to be the day of singing and recurring the recurrence. Let's see if the owl has sent the magazine we subscribed to."
"Yes sir."
The assistant went downstairs to the liaison room, which was his office. Usually he served as the sending and receiving letters from the entire newspaper. There was no way, and the entire British magic world could only kill five or six thousand people, with a registered population of 3,000. Only institutions like the Ministry of Magic are qualified to set up an independent liaison officer.
After a while, he delivered the new episode of "Singing the Contradictory" to editor-in-chief Barnabas.
Barnabas took over the magazine and read it carefully from beginning to end. I have to admit that Shanofilius has made great progress. Whether it is the previous news or the subsequent routine bragging, he is very interesting. He can always start from a novel perspective and bring everyone a different and wonderful view.
If this continues, it may one day surpass his first reporter Rita Skit, but the huge circulation of "Singing the Contradictory" is absolutely guaranteed, and the absolute main force in the fantasy novel section is about to end. Barnabas really wants to be so excited when he thinks about it.
"What a very excellent story...Tsk tsk tsk tsk, it's been finished." He once again felt a sense of joy of surviving the disaster.
"No, a Gidro Lohart is not safe enough. You can find out who J.R.R. Tolkien is, and then spend a lot of money to sign him. At that time, we will join forces, not only the news industry, but the entire publishing industry is our world!
By the way, where has our Rita Skit gone?"
"The report editor, Ms. Skitt said she went out to investigate and interview."
"Ha, investigation and interview? Hopefully, right? By the way, let her also pay attention to whether there is J.R.R. Tolkien. We must not let go of any clues."
"yes."
After saying that, Barnabas turned the magazine to the last page and found that there was a line of small words printed behind it, which read, 'This magazine has agreed with Mr. J.R.R. Tolkien that the next fantasy novel will meet you on time in the next issue, and at the same time, more excellent stories will also meet you together.'
"More?" Barnabas couldn't help frowning, feeling something was wrong.
A huge doubt lies in his mind. How did the Singing Magazine obtain such excellent novel manuscripts? Where did it come from the confidence to promise that more novels will meet everyone?
Of course, this is due to Ronan. The pain of creation is the exhaustion of inspiration, and for Ronan, the copycat, it did not exist at this time.
Moreover, it is really necessary for Ronan to name and praise the magic props such as the Magic Feather Shorthand Pen. It can allow users to quickly convert language into text content without using their hands and only using their mouths. It is something that every writer dreams of.
On the other hand, we naturally cannot rely solely on Ronan, a lonely content producer. That is not impossible, but it is too tiring. Ronan still needs to substitute classes, and recently he has taken time to find Lavenclaw's crown from the room for requests. He also needs to prepare for the next step, and time is also very urgent.
So Hu Luonan aimed at another cultural and creative treasure house - Muggle Society.
Nowadays, in the 1990s, the war had long been buried in the yellow sand of history. The stable economic and social development gave birth to a large number of spiritual needs, and such spiritual needs would stimulate the creation of a large number of cultural and cultural works. This thing is not a wizard or not, but as long as you have a good head, you can create excellent works.
These works that are particularly excellent in human society are introduced into the magic world by Ronan without paying copyright fees, and then repaired by wizards. This work is a very good novel, and this work has been prepared long ago.
When Ronan's "The Hobbit" was published, a large number of excellent Muggle works were already being revised, and now "The Hobbit" is over, it is time for a hundred flowers to bloom.
As for where the manpower comes from, Ronan, who can pinch people, said that these are not a problem. Ninety-nine six is their blessing. Yes, they are talking about the Voldemort trio.
Ava and Casey are responsible for the main repair work as intellectually, while Eve Dazhi is responsible for cheering them on.
"Ah... these stories are really interesting. I suddenly have a good impression of Muggles. Where are you?" Eve put down the "Legend of Narnia" in her hand and asked the other two people.
The other two looked at Eve in anger and said in pain: "No, our anger is even deeper..."
At this moment, they hoped that they were also very smart, but unfortunately they couldn't change it.
Fortunately, as the magazine's distribution task was no longer urgent, their workload would also decrease. They continued to work for another week. It was not until the sixth issue that they finally had time again. In addition, Xenophilius also distributed them a full bonus to reward them for their hard work over the past period of time.
Ava, Eve and Casey were both shocked. They never thought they would have a salary. In fact, the Death Eaters who worked for them had never had a salary. So they thought that according to their personal dependence relationship with Ronan, it would be thankful that they would give them some food.
Surprise, really surprise.
Eve was moved and said that she never expected to get so many Gallons.
Ava and Casey are crazy, why are you moved? And you also act like Eve, so disgusting. Is she really Voldemort too?
With the release of the sixth issue, the entire Prophet Daily newspaper was truly in panic.
Finished, they really did it!
"Singing the Contradictory" successfully became the top newspaper in the British magic circle with its strength, and also became the UK's specialty product export, embarking on its own journey of entrepreneurship and foreign exchange to Europe.
The Prophet Daily's plan to kill people is still in the womb.
Chapter completed!
