068 [Ghost tricks]

After talking to Jin Yong, Xia Tian returned to the magazine and asked Tang Congsheng to add a recruitment advertisement.≤?≤net.╈.

We sincerely recruit creative assistants, and we require literary cultivation, writing experience, smooth writing style, rich imagination, strong communication skills, monthly salary of more than 1,500 and limited quotas, so we can register.

"President, what is a creative assistant?" Tang Congsheng asked in confusion. He had worked in the group for so long and had never heard of this position.

Xia Tian smiled, "It was just to help me write novels. It was so hard for me to write six novels by myself. So I asked a few people to help me write them together."

"Oh!" Tang Congsheng suddenly realized that it was equivalent to a ghostwriter. He had to give him the name "creative assistant". Those who didn't know thought it was a very high-level position.

However, he did not object to Xia Tian's request for a penman. It is not uncommon to write in the literary world. Jin Yong and Gu Long both invited people to write. Gu Long was even an expert in writing. Before he became famous, he had written for Wolong. After becoming famous, he asked Ding Qing, Shangguan Ding, Shen Suimei and others to write for him.

"I understand, President." Tang Congsheng nodded.

...

After adding the last advertisement, the sample magazine was officially completed.

Then Xia Tian took Chen Yixin and went to the printing factory with Tang Congsheng to officially print the first issue of "Fantasy World".

This Fuyi printing factory is located in Tsuen Wan Industrial Zone and has been in cooperation with Ming Pao Group for many years. ∥⊥≡≦∧net?≦.┭. Printing "Fantasy World" here can save a lot of money than in other places.

Xia Tian didn't know much about the printing factory, so he took this opportunity to take a good look.

Now Fuyi Printing Factory has adopted a laser illumination system instead of the lead type printing he thought.

The specific operation process is like this: they first use the keyboard to enter the text into the computer, and then type on the computer with the help of the layout software. After proofreading, they get the sample issue through the printer.

The sample magazine is verified correctly. After passing the review, they will pass the arranged files to the arranged control machine through the arranged software, and then output it on the laser arranged machine to obtain the required film.

Then, the prepared film is placed on the platen drying machine, and the contents on the film are projected onto a special aluminum plate through the platen drying machine. Then, after laser scanning, etching, rinsing, and bending the plate, the aluminum plate used for printing is obtained. Then the aluminum plate is placed on the printing machine and the printing can be officially carried out.

The Fuyi Printing Factory had already arranged the plates before, and after Xiatian arrived, it would immediately start printing plates.

"President Xia, how many copies do you want to print this magazine?" asked Ma Fuyi, the director of the factory. "If you only print a few thousand copies, the charge will be a little higher. After all, we also have to make a plate."

"Print twenty thousand copies first. If necessary, we will continue to print them again.≮≤net v.╬╊.╃c┭o┯m" Xia Tian thought for a while.

With Jin Yong's "Ming Pao" helping him promote it, "Fantasy World" magazine sold 20,000 copies, it shouldn't be difficult.

"Okay, happy! President Xia, let's listen to you." Director Ma laughed.

"President, aren't it too risky? I think it's better to print 10,000 copies first and see how the effect is before making a decision. It's safer." Tang Congsheng said with some concern.

Printing 20,000 copies will cost more than 20,000 Hong Kong dollars. If you can't sell it, it will be a loss for the magazine. You should know that there are four or five hundred magazines on the Hong Kong market now, and most of them will not exceed 20,000 copies.

"Fantasy World" is a newly launched magazine and has no support from old users, so it is a bit risky to print 20,000 copies rashly.

"Don't worry, even if you don't believe me, you have to believe in Mr. Cha's appeal." Xia Tian smiled and said. Jin Yong wrote a big praise for "Fantasy World", which will appear on the front page of the supplement of "Ming Pao" tomorrow. With his support from his elders, and Xia Tian also has confidence in these novels, he believes that selling 20,000 copies should not be a problem.

"Okay." Tang Congsheng nodded.

...

Just as Xia Tian was waiting for the first magazine to be released in the printing factory, the Hong Kong richest man's nightclub, Ni Geng finished his day's writing and was drinking and having fun with three or five confidants.

He has a problem. When it gets dark, his hands start to itch and he can't help but touch the wine glass. ≧?≮≥?≈.╊. So the rule he set for himself is that all work must be done during the day so that he can enjoy himself at night.

He has been consistent for decades of his career, and this rule has never been broken. This shows that Ni Geng's persistence and perseverance are beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Gu Long is smarter than him and famous, but he lacks such strong perseverance, so life is not as comfortable as Ni Geng, and he is often poor at the third and fifth. When he is rich, he is beautiful, and he is rich in clothes and food, spends money without blinking. When he is poor, he is even a problem to treat diseases.

I heard that he is seriously ill now, and he has been drinking all year round, and has changed from hepatitis to cirrhosis. In addition, he has not released a new work within three years, and his life is already very difficult now.

When he thought of this old friend, Ni Geng's bathing hope was even stronger. "Since you can't drink anymore, I'll help you and drink your wine too." He sighed.

Just as I was about to call my confidant to go out to drink, I heard the doorbell ringing of Dingdong.

A moment later, Shen Xicheng walked in quickly and frantically, "Brother Ni, something is wrong."

When Ni Geng heard him speak, he couldn't help but frown. Why is Shen Xicheng like a night owl? He is mourning as soon as he enters the door? Who is the big deal? Who are you scolding?

"What the hell is it? Sit down and talk slowly...┯╃.╳c╊o┿m┮" he said with a straight face.

Shen Xicheng said without rushing to say that he poured a cup of tea first and drank it all, and then said, "I heard from the newspaper that Mr. Cha's book "Fantasy World" has started printing."

"What?!" Ni Geng stood up, "This is impossible. He has no manuscript, so what are you printing?! Did someone secretly write a manuscript for him, or did he ask for manuscript from Taiwan?"

There are quite a lot of martial arts novel writers in Taiwan, and they are generally very poor. Even famous scholars like Wo Longsheng, Sima Ling, and Gu Long are so poor that they are so poor that they have taken on them. They may be responsible for money to help Xia Tian, ​​the younger generation, carry a sedan chair.

"None of them!" Shen Xicheng denied, "I heard that Xia Tian wrote six novels for serialization."

"Fart!" Ni Geng shouted loudly as soon as he heard this, "How capable is he? He wrote six novels by himself?! Do you think he is Wenquxing descending to earth, or is he possessed by Kuixing?!"

He could not even write six novels at the same time, so he didn't believe that the young man in Xia Tian could do it!

Chen Xicheng was scolded by Ni Geng, and his face was embarrassed, "I heard from others, and I don't know whether it is true or not. But I can confirm that the book "Fantasy World" has really started printing."

When Ni Geng heard what he said, he calmed down, "Don't panic, just print it. If you have money, can you not let others print it?"

"But what if this magazine becomes popular?" Chen Xicheng asked worriedly.

"Well..." Ni Geng pondered for a moment, and he was also worried about this problem.

To be honest, he can actually see what Jin Yong can see, after all, Ni Geng is not a fool. He also knows that martial arts novels are on the verge of difficulties, with rigid subject matter, weak innovation, lost readers, and decreased sales...

But this has nothing to do with him. Anyway, he doesn't write pure martial arts, and his novels have always sold very well. That's why he refused to reform and refused to let other writers compete with him for food.

However, the reforms proposed in summer can just resolve these disadvantages. Expanding the subject matter, broadening ideas, and innovative thinking can just revitalize the novel and win the favor and pursuit of readers again.

Ni Geng knew that this was the general trend. If you are poor, you will change; if you change, you will be smooth; if you are smooth, you will be smooth! After thirty years of martial arts novels, you have reached a difficult situation, and it has reached a time to change.

Once this book "Fantasy World" is released, it means that summer's process of promoting the transformation of martial arts novels has been on track. Next, it is like a moving train, unstoppable and will destroy all the roadblocks that are blocking the front.

And I either get in the car and work with him; or I don’t get in the car and get left far behind; or I stop in front and stop the train from moving forward.

The outcomes of the three results are: one, following the steps of summer, people eat meat and drink soup by themselves; two, they fall far away and are eliminated by the times; three, they either cheat on the train or they are crushed into meat sauce by themselves.

After measuring the three results, Ni Geng finally chose to stand in front.

Because Ni Geng has always regarded himself very well, once he wrote that Wesley killed a white bear in Antarctica. In fact, there are no white bears at all in Antarctica, only in the North Pole.

However, even if the readers were asked about the problem, Ni Geng insisted on not apologizing, and even if he was later compiled and published, he insisted on not modifying it. His stubbornness and arrogant attitude are evident.

He is such a proud person, even if he really makes mistakes, he can turn a blind eye or listen to them. How could he be willing to follow a ten-year-old child? Of course, he will not be willing to be eliminated by the times, so he has to fight again.

"Brother Ni, what should I do? You have to make an idea as soon as possible." Chen Xicheng urged again.

"Well, that's it. After this magazine is launched, you can buy a few books, then find a few book critics, pick some problems, criticize them in the newspaper, and derogate them to nothing, and make them worthless." Ni Geng said face-to-face teaching Jiyi, "When the time comes, see who will buy his magazine."

"Great!" Chen Xicheng laughed.

Any novel has problems. Even if it is not, you can still find bones in eggs.
