Chapter 382 Conquering the Readers
Gui Xuefeng had also thought about using various methods to increase the circulation of newspapers and magazines before, but those tricks did not have much effect.
I have not considered finding a master's work to publish it before, but the work "The Great Wall of Despair" that was signed with a large sum of money did not appear at all, and more than two million yuan was wasted.
Nowadays, good books are very rare. Most of them have been booked. They are either serialized online or published directly on physical books. No one wants to serialize them in newspapers.
Just like the scope of influence of "East China Life News" is only in the East China region, readers in North China, Central China, Northeast China, Southwest, Northwest and other places cannot buy it at all, and have never even heard of this newspaper!
Any writer with some ambition will not put his work in a regional newspaper.
If not, then readers are obviously not interested. You can read the full version in other places, so why should you buy a newspaper every day to read the serial?
Nothing is simple. This time I can grab Zhang Chu's "Su Shen Ji", the content of two million words should be serialized for a long time.
Nowadays, the most popular writers conduct newspapers and magazines, and this kind of opportunity is hard to encounter. Gui Xuefeng only hopes that the more than 200,000 newspapers sold in retail can be sold out smoothly!
Another 300,000 to 400,000 newspapers will be sent to the home by postmen. There are not many people who privately subscribe to this type of newspaper in each unit, and most of them are still in the unit.
Every unit receives more than ten newspapers every morning, but very few people really have time to read the newspaper. Most newspapers either become garbage in the end or use them as various things to cushion or lay tables.
...
The news about the serialization of "Soushen Ji" on the Internet has been circulating for several days, and many readers who are not from East China have seen the news of book updates online.
Xiao Jingtian, who works in Shanghai, walked out of the shared house with a tired look on his face. He worked overtime until late at night until 11 o'clock in the evening, and now he still has to get up early to check in at 8:50.
He bought two buns and cups of soy milk at a breakfast stall outside the community. When he was about to walk to the subway station quickly, he suddenly saw a pile of newspapers on the stall next to him.
I was too hasty in the morning to squat in the toilet. I originally planned to read "Soushen Ji" at that time, but I only waited until now.
"Boss, do you have the East China Life News?"
Xiao Jingtian rarely buys newspapers at the time, but now he takes out his mobile phone and prepares to scan the code. Who made him have no cash in his wallet?
After hearing the sound, the boss who was sorting out the stall, he took out the newspapers Xiao Jingtian needed from a large stack of newspapers, and pointed to the two blue and green payment codes next to him and said, "5 yuan."
With a ding dong, the gentle female voice in the audio immediately rang out. Technology can indeed change the lifestyle these days, and even the old ladies selling vegetables on the roadside will use QR code to collect money.
After holding the newspaper in his hand, Xiao Jingtian did not read it immediately, but instead finished the buns while walking. He didn't want to drink soy milk while on the subway.
Any subway station is crowded, and this is no exception now. Many young people who plan to take the bus have become bowing their heads, and everyone stands outside the subway railings and looks at their phones in unison.
Xiao Jingtian, holding a newspaper, seemed to have become an alternative, and he was one of them in the past!
Xiao Jingtian did not pay attention to the rest of the content on this newspaper, but began to search for the serial area directly, wanting to see what "Su Shen Ji" looks like.
It turned out to be like a madman. The third version has too much content, and it is densely packed with content inside!
In order to publish the wedges, the East China Life News had to cry and cancel the other two columns to make room for "Soushen Ji".
Of course, this issue is just an exception now, and there will be no so much content to serialize after that.
After reading with anticipation, Xiao Jingtian was mentally prepared. Perhaps this book was very slow to heat up, but when he saw the mysterious middle-aged man in the wedge fighting one of the top ten ferocious beasts in the Great Wilderness, his blood couldn't help but boil!
"Hey! The five dollars are indeed not spent in vain!"
The expression on his face looked dumbfounded, and he continued to read with a gaze. If the people in the queue behind him had not squeezed him onto the subway, he would have to stand down and finish reading before coming up.
At this time, there is no room for the subway. Even if you can stand up, you will be lucky. Xiao Jingtian came to a place close to the inside and folded the newspaper a few times and continued reading.
"My teacher, please ask what book are you reading?"
A young man carrying a backpack kept it in for a long time before he asked. He had just seen the contents of the newspaper beside him, but he was broken by Xiao Jingtian before he finished reading it.
After working on my mental construction for a long time, I hesitated to ask. After all, communication between strangers has become a problem these days.
Staying up late without shaving, Xiao Jingtian was actually called a teacher!
However, he didn't have time to feel sad, but replied: "This is Zhang Chu's "Su Shen Ji", which has only started to be updated today. If you want to read it, you can search it online, and there are also serialized online."
"Zhang Chu actually released a new book? It turns out that this is the Sou Shen Ji!" The young man was shocked, "I remember I said this book before the Spring Festival. It's almost April, and I finally sent it out. Thank you, I'll search and take a look."
There are definitely many people who hold their phones on the subway, but many people are following popular books. Anyway, I start reading from the rankings and don’t care who the author is.
The young man quickly took out his cell phone and searched for Zhang Chu's works directly on the Internet. Even if it was a seedling with only 20,000 words, it would look like it.
When Shennong sang "The Song of the Moon" before Petrochemical, Xiao Jingtian almost trembled. There must be a story here!
"Who is the boy in the wedge? Tuobaye said that he had no father or mother, so he should not be the one in front of him. The common ruler of the Great Wilderness, and after Shennong, it should be the Huangdi of Xuanyuan. Could it be the Huangdi of Tuobaye? But isn't Huangdi called Xuanyuan?"
For a long time, Xiao Jingtian has learned a lot about ancient myths and legends, so these questions keep coming out.
The story has just begun, and there are too many things that need to be revealed in the text, and at present, the tip of the iceberg is not even counted.
"I'm sure to chase this book! I hope Zhang Chu will not cheat. If it is cheated, I will really kill you!"
Xiao Jingtian reluctantly held the newspaper in his hand, planning to read it again during his lunch break to see if there was any information he had missed.
