Since Shi Zhijian took over, he has carried out substantial reforms to the newspaper.
In order to increase the sales of the newspaper, Shi Zhijian even invited a group of martial arts writers from Baodao, including Gu Long, Gao Yong, Shangguan Ding, Wo Longsheng, Sima Ling and Zhuge Qingyun, to write martial arts novels for the newspaper.
A new column has been opened called "Fantasy Sword Book Alliance".
In addition, in order to cultivate rising stars, Shi Zhijian even opened a column called "Starting Point" to provide a base for young enthusiasts to practice writing. If the writing is good and the content is excellent, they can sign a contract directly.
Shi Zhijian cut off these two big axes and achieved remarkable results. The sales volume of the book soared from a sluggish 6,000 copies a day to 38,000 copies, and the sales volume continued to skyrocket.
In this age where information is scarce and "newspaper is king", it is not unusual for newspaper sales to exceed 10,000 copies a day. For example, for some old newspapers, it is possible to exceed 50,000 or 70,000 copies a day!
Especially the recent sales volume has surged as Jin Yong serialized his last martial arts novel on it, reaching 80,000 copies per day! Everyone is waiting to see, waiting to break the record, breaking 100,000 copies per day!
It can be said that with the skyrocketing sales volume, the influence of this newspaper is also gradually increasing.
Therefore, when He and Collective published this article, it immediately aroused a huge response in Hong Kong!
Countless editorial commentators gave sharp comments after reading this article.
"Steel resources are monopolized, who decides the price? The market or the monopolist?"
"The United States has enacted legislation to crack down on oil monopoly. Should Hong Kong also enact legislation?"
"Black-hearted capitalists! Treating steel as a stock to speculate on!"
The literati in Hong Kong are all leaders in criticizing and criticizing, so of course they should be severely criticized if they catch such a gimmick.
Although the ordinary people living their daily lives do not understand the pros and cons of this, they have experienced firsthand how difficult life has been recently.
In particular, the price of steel has skyrocketed, from 150 yuan per ton to 200 yuan per ton, and from 200 yuan per ton to 300 yuan per ton... The prices are still soaring.
Because of the skyrocketing price of steel, many poor people cannot even afford to build iron houses, and many people cannot even afford iron pots!
I don’t dare to use anything that has anything to do with steel because I can’t afford it!
So much so that in many refugee gathering places, you can see many refugees cooking in stone troughs and cooking with wooden spoons, completely returning to the "Stone Age"!
It can be said that the editorial article deliberately concocted by Shi Zhijian and above was so powerful that it was like a depth bomb that blew up the newly established "Steel Alliance" and was unable to defend itself.
…
Inside the private room of Lu Yu Tea House.
"Boss, you know I'm a night owl. I go to bed very late every night. If you call me so early to invite me for morning tea, your life will be shortened!" Ni Jiang yawned and stretched out his arms, smelling of alcohol.
Sitting opposite him was his close friend and president, the famous "Martial Arts Leader" Jin Yong.
The reason why Jin Yong invited Ni Jiji out for tea today was entirely because his serialization was successful and the newspaper sales reached new highs. He was happy and wanted to show off in front of his old friends, but he was embarrassed, so he invited Ni Jiji for tea.
Come out and sit.
"I'm inviting you to tea, are you still so reluctant?" Jin Yong pretended to be angry and pushed the poured tea to Ni Jiang, "Rinse your mouth first, and eat shrimp dumplings later! Don't let your mouth be full of alcohol.
No taste!”
"You don't understand this! I don't call it the smell of wine, it's called talent! Talent spans thirty thousand miles, and only the smell of wine can soar into the sky!" Ni Jiang said as he picked up the teacup and took a sip, frowning and said, "No.
OK, I feel a little nauseous and want to vomit!"
Jin Yong smiled and said: "Then it's not about flushing into the sky, but about flushing the toilet!"
Ni Jiang laughed: "You don't need to embarrass me! To be honest, aren't you very proud? The serialization is so good that even I am following up on it! You should write more! By the way, do you have any manuscripts saved? Bring them here
have a look!"
Ni Jiang looked anxious. If Jin Yong hadn't always been a gentleman, Ni Jiang would have gone directly to search him.
"Where are the manuscripts? I'm being pushed by so many readers now, and it's giving me a headache!" Jin Yong took a cup of tea and took a sip, "Also, you know I write as slowly as a snail, and unlike you, I update every day.
Thousands of words, even the fingers are not sore!"
"That's a lie! Doesn't your hand hurt when you write so many words?" Ni Jiang said, "It's not just for the royalties! In addition, the royalties offered by that guy Shi Zhijian are very tempting, so of course I have to work hard.
!”
Jin Yong picked up the tea cup and took a sip, then rubbed his eyebrows and said: "Then you should also pay attention to your health. If you stay up late, drink alcohol, and indulge in singing, you will collapse sooner or later!"
"Bah, bah, bah! The bad ones don't work, but the good ones work! Hurry up and get rid of these words!" Ni Jiang dipped his finger in saliva and nodded his eyebrows and said, "My body is very good! I was able to transform myself on the farm.
Carrying a hundred kilograms of wood!" After a pause, he added, "As for you, will Wei Xiaobao become a martial arts master in the end? I have been so depressed watching the storylines these days. He is always bullied, or he relies on
To win shamelessly, can you give him the Dugu Nine Swords and the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, so that he can be majestic?"
"Don't worry about this, I have already set it up. When the time comes, you will see that Wei Xiaobao is so majestic, even if he is not the best in the world, he is still the second best!" Jin Yong said with a smile.
It is said that this is a unique book by Jin Yong. The protagonist in this book, Wei Xiaobao, is the only one who has mediocre martial arts and only knows some advanced light kung fu and a few strange moves.
However, in many movies and TV series in the previous life, such as in the movies and TV series shot by Wang Jing, Wei Xiaobao was very skilled in martial arts and beat Feng Xifan to death.
In fact, the setting about Wei Xiaobao being a great martial arts master in the two editions of The Deer and the Cauldron is not the director's random imagination, but a remnant of the setting from the serialized version.
The so-called serialized version of Jin Yong's novel is the version that Jin Yong first serialized on. In order to attract readers, this version will have many exaggerated descriptions. At the same time, because it is a serialized version, there are not a few inconsistencies in the settings. Wei Xiaobao
The setting of a martial arts prodigy falls into this category. Perhaps it is because the protagonist is extremely poor in martial arts and can only resort to clever tricks and tricks. This setting is too shocking, so at the beginning, Jin Yong really thought about letting Wei Xiaobao also
Become a top master.
In the serialized version, Hai Dafu teaches Wei Xiaobao the Great Merciful and Great Compassion Thousand-leaf Hand. Although this set of martial arts is taught in every version, the difference in the serialized version is that this version of the Great Mercy and Great Compassion Thousand-leaf Hand needs to be practiced together with internal strength, which means that Wei Xiaobao is very good.
I have been exposed to inner strength for a long time.
Immediately after Wei Xiaobao felt that Chen Jinnan's secrets were a bit boring to practice, he suddenly thought of Hai Dafu's secrets that he had obtained before, and took them out to practice. It was precisely because Wei Xiaobao had learned some basics from Hai Dafu before, and Hai Dafu's martial arts was extremely easy.
Getting started, and in line with Wei Xiaobao's character, the progress is extremely fast. In a few months, he has practiced 70% to 80% of this internal skill, and he has also integrated the kung fu taught by Chen Jinnan and taught by Hai Dafu into one.
.
The current Jin Yong was created with this idea in mind. In order to increase the sales of newspapers, he deliberately considered the readers' hobbies and prepared to shape Wei Xiaobao into a martial arts master, rather than a magician who is only proficient in throwing lime and escaping.
little gangster.
"Okay, I'll wait and see! Don't just talk without practicing! If Wei Xiaobao is still so useless in the end, you will lose the biggest reader in your life, that is, your good brother, me!" Ni Jiang proudly said
Pointing to his nose.
At this time, snacks such as barbecued pork buns and shrimp dumplings are served.
Jin Yong and Ni Jiam chatted while eating.
The topic of discussion this time is the two new sections "Fantasy Sword Book Alliance" and "Starting Point" opened by Shi Zhijian.
"To be honest, sometimes I have to admire Shi Zhijian, who comes up with endless ideas!" Ni Jiang praised, "Being able to single-handedly create a new era of martial arts and at the same time increase the sales of his newspapers, this double-edged sword is simply amazing!"
"Yes! At the worst time, the daily sales were only 6,000, but now they are almost 40,000! In time, we will catch up with us!" Jin Yong picked up a shrimp dumpling with chopsticks, dipped it in vinegar water and put it in his mouth.
He chewed slowly and said.
"So, be careful!" Ni Jiang said in a joking tone, "Be careful when you are surpassed, it will be bad! It will mean that the younger brother has snatched the throne of the boss, and you, the great hero Jin, will be embarrassed!"
Literary men look down upon each other!
For some reason, these words popped up in Jin Yong's mind, and then he shook his head, thinking that Shi Zhijian was at most a successful businessman, and how could he be a literati? A literati must have works, although he had written a few poems.
Songs, but those are just trivial skills and cannot reach the level of elegance!
Ni Jiang is like a roundworm in Jin Yong's belly, he knows everything the other person thinks.
Although the two are good friends, everyone is selfish. Ni Ji admires Jin Yong's unparalleled creative talent and is also jealous of his talent. As long as he can make Jin Yong unhappy, he will feel very happy.
Ni Jiang poured the tea for Jin Yong and pushed the tea cup in front of him: "I remember well that Shi Zhijian composed many classic songs, like what, etc. Although they are not in the elegant hall, they are remarkable! Talk about it.
Really, if one day he abandons business and pursues literature, and he learns from you in writing novels, he might come up with some world-shattering masterpiece!"
"Are you so optimistic about him?" Jin Yong pushed up his black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and looked at Ni Jiang and asked.
Ni Jiang nodded: "I wrote a column for you before, so I should know who I am as a person. I never lie, and I am also very accurate in judging people! That Shi Zhijian is really talented and invincible. If he enters the literary world, I am afraid he can compete with him.
How many people are there?!”
"What about me? Can he still beat me?" Jin Yong was inspired to fight and asked while holding the tea cup.
Ni Jiang simply peeed to extinguish the fighting spirit that was ignited in Da Xia Jin's heart: "You are old! Maybe I will close the book after I finish writing it! As for him, it is the sun at eight or nine o'clock, young and energetic,
Shining! How can you, a decrepit old guy, compete with a young guy who is full of energy? Maybe you have already been admitted to the hospital with high blood pressure before you start competing!"
"Okay, how dare you embarrass me?" Jin Yong glared at Ni Jiang, grabbed a peanut on the table and threw it at Ni Jiang and cursed.
Just as the two were chatting and joking, someone knocked on the door of the private room, and a voice said: "Sorry to disturb you two! Mr. Cha, there is a young lady named Li outside who wants to see you!"
…
Li Xuexuan sat in the box, looking straight at Jin Yong.
Jin Yong's expression was calm and relaxed, and he seemed not surprised that Li Xuexuan suddenly came to him to drink tea and talk with him.
Ni Jiang looked left and right, and finally stared at Li Xuexuan with his chin in his hands, saying to himself that this girl is so beautiful! She looks like "Zhou Zhiruo" from Jin Yong's martial arts novels, no, it's "Zhao Min" "That's right, look at her little eyes, she's so treacherous!
Li Xuexuan turned his head and happened to see Ni Jiang staring at him with a serious expression, so he frowned.
When Ni Jiang saw it, he coughed, put down the hand holding his chin, acted like a gentleman, and said, "I'm sorry, am I disturbing you by being here?"
"What do you think?" Li Xuexuan looked over with beautiful eyes.
Ni Jiang rolled his eyes: "Do you need to be so straightforward? Okay, I'm leaving! You guys chat alone!" After saying that, he was ready to show off, and then looked at Jin Yong, waiting for Jin Yong to call him out.
Jin Yong didn't move or speak.
Ni Jiang was so embarrassed now that he had to stand up and look at Jin Yong again: "I really want to leave! You must not try to keep me here! We are friends after all. Since you have something to do with this Lee Miss, please don’t let me stay because of the eternal friendship between you and me!"
Jin Yong, still didn’t move.
Ni Jiang began to "mom comparison" in his heart!
He is very curious!
What is this girl named Li doing with Lao Cha?
Are you trying to pull off a honey trap?
Will Lao Cha take advantage of his plan?
"Why don't you leave?" Li Xuexuan couldn't help but frowned when he saw Ni Jiangqian standing still.
"Oh, I'm leaving now!" Ni Jiang had no shame in staying any longer, and finally said to Jin Yong, "Old Cha, you must take care of yourself! Remember, drinking and sex are harmful to the body! In addition, you must remember The words Zhang Wuji’s mother sent to him before she died, beautiful women know how to lie!"
After Ni Jiang finished chatting, he slammed the door and walked out.
Jin Yong looked as usual, picked up the teacup and took a sip, put it down, and then looked at Li Xuexuan with a smile: "Well, Miss Li, let me tell you now, what are you trying to lie to me?!"
