Time passed like a white horse, and four days passed in an instant.
Looking at the thick manuscript of the novel “Searching Qin”, Xia Yu has a sense of accomplishment.
Although the novel is not his original work, it is not easy to copy it. The first three volumes contain about 190,000 characters. It took four days to copy it, which was difficult for ordinary people to do.
“At the moment send the script!” Xia Yu muttered on top of the thick stack of novel manuscripts.
Then, Xia Yu picked up the school bag and carefully packed the script, greeted her parents, and walked out.
In the past four days, other than being busy writing, Xia Yu had not wasted her spare time. He's already considering the filing problem.
The most direct way to profit from a novel is to publish it, but without a reputation, it is very difficult to publish it and the royalties are very low.
Even if it is successfully published, the chances of hitting the road are very high.
After all, the smell of wine was also afraid of the deep alley!
Xia Yu still had self-knowledge, and would not think that she was a rebirth. The main protagonist or When the dominating spirit disappears, the publisher worships, the dealer kneels, and the readers gather …
This situation is absolutely impossible!
Even if it depended on the quality of his work, word of mouth would form gradually after publication, and would eventually become a huge fire, he said, but Xia Yu had no time to wait! Therefore, direct publishing was not an option at first!"
But fortunately, Xiangjiang published the novel in popular newspapers today, and published it when it became famous.
This model is not only conducive to newspapers, to help them attract users; it is also conducive to publishers, helping them filter out good works, reducing risks, and saving on publicity costs; at the same time, this is also conducive for writers by charging more money. You could say profitable!
So Xia Yu also intended to follow this rule, submit articles to newspapers, and make serial stories in newspapers.
Since I intend to create a series in the newspaper, the choice of newspaper is very important.
In Xiangjiang, there are not many other things, but most of the popular newspapers in this era, as long as you have money, you can run a media company. Hence, various newspapers sprung up one after another, and were the most populous regions in the world.
Among them, major newspapers include Oriental Daily, Ming Pao, Hong Kong Economic Journal, Sing Tao Daily, Ta Kung Pao, Cheng Pao, South China Morning Post, etc.
Among them, “Oriental Daily” is a grassroots newspaper, “The Hong Kong Daily” is aimed at senior intellectuals, and “Ming Pao” starts from the ground up, but relies on Jin Yong's incisive comments, he said, it has been popular among intellectuals for many years. Sing Tao Daily targets the lower middle class. The South China Morning Post is the largest English-language newspaper in Hong Kong…
For Xia Yu, the English-language newspaper “South China Morning Post” was first issued.
And since his goal of writing a novel was to make money quickly, under this premise, the more influence he could, the better, be, whether it is the next book treatment or the next publication and adaptation “Xun Qin Ji”, etc. ., it is more useful. In addition, the connoisseur of “Xun Qin Ji” is the general public, so newspapers that are not intended for the masses should also be on the periphery.
Thinking of it like this, “Ta Kung Pao”, “Hong Kong Daily”, and “Sing Pao” also rule it out.
Then there is only Ming Pao, Sing Tao Daily and Oriental Daily.
Currently, the top three sales are “Oriental Daily”, “Sing Tao Daily” and “Ming Pao.”
Ming Pao ranked third, with an average daily sales of around 130,000. Compared to the highest sales in the peak period, one of the reasons was that Jin Yong had closed the pen and did not have a martial arts master novel comparable to the famous Jin Yong novel at the beginning. Even though he has risen from the roots. Jin Yong has focused on knowledge in recent years. Elements that want to realize their political ambitions ignore the basics, so their influence among low-income communities has been relatively weak in recent years.
“Sing Tao Daily” courtesy of Sing Tao newspaper industry. It was founded by Hu Wenhu in 1938 and is now controlled by his daughter Hu Xian. Hu Xian was also the queen of the newspaper industry. Now the average daily sales volume of “Sing Tao Daily” reaches 160,000. Copies. For decades, the channel has spread throughout Southeast Asia.
And “Daily Oriental” is completely rooted from the base. It was founded by Ma Jia in 1969. It was claimed to be the number one sales volume for 35 years, with a maximum of 530,000 copies, covering more than 3.4 million people.
In addition to the sales factor, Xia Yu also considered the contribution costs.
Although his novel would attract the attention of Ming Pao, Mr. Jin was famous for his treatment of writers in Xiangjiang. Xia Yu did not prioritize fame right now. All she needed was money, as much money as possible, so Xia Yu did not put Ming Pao first.
The reason why the sales of “Sing Tao Daily” are so high is because of its extensive sales channel, covering the whole of Southeast Asia. In addition, boss Hu Xian was known as the queen of the newspaper industry and was notoriously strong. Xia Yu did not put “Sing Tao The Daily a top priority.
As for “Daily Oriental”, the Ma family always wants to develop “Daily Oriental” better, plus the latest establishment, their background is the most inadequate, the most important is the bad reputation of the Ma family.
All writers are writers. Most of the famous writers appreciated and were afraid not to get along with the Ma family, under pressure, which led to an unsatisfactory collection of novels by the oriental Daily.
For this reason, “Oriental Daily” can only rely on money, hoping to attract more submissions, and see if we can choose a better novel. Therefore, the cost of the manuscript given by Oriental Daily is the highest.
Fame and profit can be provided by “Oriental Daily”, and both have advantages. Of course, Xia Yu had priority to contribute as well“
changing cars all the way, Xia Yu finally reached the door of the building “Oriental Daily”.
staring at the signboard “Oriental Daily”, Xia Yu showed a confident smile and stepped inside.
walking to the front desk, Xia Yu said to the receptionist: “Halo, I have written a novel and want to send it. How's the process?”
The receptionist was still stunned when she saw Xia Yu enter, after all Xia Yu was still a teenager. At this moment, he heard that Xia Yu was here to contribute. He blinked and confirmed that he had heard it correctly. He was a little surprised and could not help but smile. Inwardly, she sighed that Xia Yu was unable to do anything, but she did not laugh directly. Pointing in one direction, he said: “Post to the room-it's all.”
“Oke thank you!” Xia Yu thanked him and walked to the room appointed by the receptionist.
Looking at Xia Yu's back, the receptionist smiled and shook her head and said, “It is better to use money. The president released news to collect papers at high prices. For the sake of money, everyone came to contribute. Now even the kids are here.People really think about money. What is so easy to make money, What a good novel can children write, ha ha..”
Of course, Xia Yu did not hear any derogatory words from the receptionist. He has already arrived at the office door with the words ‘script reading room’ on the door. From outside, you can see a middle-aged man looking down reviewing the manuscript, and his desk is full of novel manuscripts, like a hill.
After knocking on the door, the middle-aged man did not look up, and said impatiently: “The door is unlocked, just enter”.
“Halo, I'm here to contribute!” Xia Yu did not care about her tone, entered, said, and took out a thick stack of novel scripts from her school bag.
At this moment, the middle-aged man finally raised his head when he heard someone sending out the script, but after seeing Xia Yu, his face changed slightly, he cursed in a low voice, saying, and then it became even more demeaning, directly putting it on the table and back waiting for news. Then he lowered his head and continued reading the script without looking at Xia Yu.
Seeing the contemptuous middle-aged demeanor, Xia Yu clenched her fists and clenched her teeth, making her extremely annoyed. However, he could only hold back what he wanted, put the script on top of the pile of manuscripts, say thank you, she said,
After exiting the door of Oriental Daily, Xia Yu shook her head somewhat self-deprecatingly: “Although she had been mentally prepared, she was still very unhappy.”
Before coming, given her age, Xia Yu analyzed that she might be underestimated. After all, there was no shortage of people in this world judging people by their appearance. He did not expect to meet such people.
“Forget it, it's over, better I buy some more notebooks, and write as much as possible while waiting for the news, so I can get more money at once.” Xia Yu muttered, and then prepared to buy a pen and paper.
He has not considered the situation that the manuscript is unacceptable. After all, this was the work of a martial arts master. How could it not be published?
It's unfortunate that things go against expectations. Xia Yu did not consider that in this world, however, there were always ‘thousand horses in one race.
After Xia Yu left, the middle-aged reviewer editor took Xia Yu's novel draft and explored it. When Xiang Shaolong crossed over to the Qin Dynasty, he smiled insultingly: “Mao did not grow up and learn to write Novels, he wrote about the Qin Dynasty, I don't even know what the Qin Dynasty is, I don't even know what the Qin Dynasty is, what does a little child know. , what kind of messy crosses this is, silly writing!”
The middle-aged review editor flipped through it a few times randomly, sneered, and threw it aside, where it was a pile of failed manuscripts.
“There are still a lot of novels to review, mostly trash, and annoying to read, %*!” The middle-aged editor rubbed his eyes, looked at the pile of manuscripts on the table, cursed, and continued to review the script.
