The next day, Summer got a reply from my little sister.

After Wang Jixian knew that his trouble had been lifted, he was very happy for him, and hoped that he could make persistent efforts in the summer and create a good result for his mother to see. That way she wouldn't hinder the two of them from dating anymore.

After receiving Wang Zhengxian's reply, he was very happy in the summer, and he was determined to work hard to make "Fantasy World" the No. 1 best-selling magazine in Hong Kong. In this way, Wang Zhengxian's mother should no longer be a hindrance.

So for the rest of the time, he focused on his work, and he wanted to die of the practice of several creative assistants.

On Sunday, Summer kept her promise and took her little sister to Ocean Park, where she had a good day of fun and a great relaxation.

The little girl's wish was satisfied, and she was willing to become the little matchmaker between him and Wang Qixian, helping the two of them matchmaking, passing on the book, and secretly communicating with each other.

On Monday, there was good news as soon as I got to work.

The 20,000 copies of "Fantasy World" are also about to sell out, and the distributor hopes to print another 5,000 copies.

Summer, of course, gladly acceded to such a request.

After the news broke that the inaugural issue had sold more than 40,000 copies, it also attracted advertisers to negotiate business. The advertising cost was 12,000 yuan in the first week, but it made Summer smile from ear to ear.

On Tuesday, the second issue of Fantasy World magazine was released, with a first printing of 30,000 copies, and in less than two days, it was snapped up by readers. Subsequently, 30,000 more copies were printed to satisfy the appetite of readers.

The reason why it is so popular is not only thanks to the "selfless" publicity of Ni Orbit and others, but also the novelty, novelty, and interest of fantasy novels are also the biggest reasons for its popularity.

New refers to the new subject matter. The six novels of "Fantasy World" include different themes such as Xianxia, Xiuzhen, tomb robbery, Star Wars, etc., which are very fresh for current readers.

They are tired of reading the stories of the Prodigal Ranger, and now they feel fresh when they see these novels. It's like getting tired of eating braised pork, and suddenly seeing a plate of crispy cucumbers, of course, you have a great appetite and eat it.

Qi refers to the strange plot. Fantasy novels break the barriers set by martial arts novels and completely transcend the shackles of the real world, so it can be freely created, imagined at will, and the plot will naturally come out one after another, and it can surprise readers at any time.

Fun refers to fun. Fantasy novels are very down-to-earth, although they are written about gods, ghosts, demons, interstellar prodigals, etc., but they satisfy the reader's desire to transcend reality.

Hong Kong is a small land, every inch of land is expensive, and the people's lives are under great pressure, so they work hard to make money while also hoping to get a moment of comfort. So reading novels, watching movies, killing chickens, going to nightclubs, etc., have become everyone's pastime and entertainment.

And reading novels is also the most popular because it costs the least. This is one of the reasons why martial arts novels have been popular in Hong Kong for 30 years. And fantasy novels can give readers more pleasure than martial arts novels, so it is naturally more popular.

Because martial arts novels are still bound by reality, no matter how high the martial arts are, it is impossible for a hero to soar into the sky against the wind, let alone blow up a planet with one punch. But fantasy fiction is different, it is completely beyond the constraints of reality and can satisfy all the imagination of readers. Natural readers are more immersed and satisfied when they read it.

That's why "Fantasy World" is so popular with readers, and after the second issue, it set off a boom of "fantasy novels" in Hong Kong.

On the bus, on the subway, on the street, on the construction site, in the office, in the classroom, you can see people reading with a stack of papers.

The first issue of "Fantasy World" contains six novels, some people like to read "The Legend of Mortal Immortals", some people like to read "Buddha is the Way", and some people like to read "Notes on Tomb Robbery......

So it's not uncommon for a magazine to be bought and torn into several copies in less than two minutes. Each person took a copy and looked at it with relish, and it was a grand view.

People also take pleasure in talking about the characters, plots, and things in the novel, such as what is the origin of Zhang Qiling in "Notes on Tomb Robbery", what does the hydra cypress look like, and is the blue-eyed fox corpse really something?!

There will even be arguments about who is more powerful between Zhou Qing in "Buddha is the Way" and Li Qiang in "Ethereal Journey", who has more magic weapons in the two, who is more powerful in Taoism, and so on.

Letters from readers were also sent to the magazine like snowflakes. At first, it was still dozens of letters, nearly a hundred, and I took it with one hand. Later, there were thousands of letters, and they had to be packed in bags.

Every day when I open and read letters, people's eyes hurt, but everyone is painful and happy. Because the more letters they received, the more popular their magazines became, and they wanted to come more.

……

With sales of 45,000 copies in the first issue and 60,000 copies in the second issue, Fantasy World became one of the best-selling magazines in Hong Kong.

The increase in sales not only made a lot of money for the magazine, but also attracted the attention of advertisers.

The second issue of the advertisement, three pages, only earned 12,000 yuan. Before the third issue was released, eight pages of advertisements had already been solicited, and the advertising cost was as high as 60,000 yuan, which was more profitable than simply selling magazines.

The magazine makes money, and the summer is not a stingy person, and immediately took out the reward and punishment strategy he formulated.

"An essay that is very well written gets an S, a well-written essay gets an A, a well-written essay gets a B, a well-written essay gets a B, a well-written essay gets a C, and a badly written essay gets a D. One S is equal to five A's, one A is equal to five Bs, and one B is equal to five...... And so on. Those who accumulate five S's will be promoted to one level. Summer explained.

"I divide my remuneration into 10 levels. The highest price is 200 yuan for 1,000 words, and everyone knows that among all Hong Kong novel writers, only a few people can get this price. But I promise you that as long as you write carefully, I will be able to give you this price. ”

"The lowest price is 10 yuan for 1,000 words, which is your current price. For each level of promotion, the remuneration for 1,000 words will increase by 20 yuan. As long as you are promoted to the next level, you can get a monthly salary of 4,500 yuan, which is much more profitable than white-collar workers. Summer said with a smile.

Hearing him say this, several creative assistants couldn't help but be quite moved. As long as you are promoted to two levels, you can get a salary of more than 7,000 yuan, and if you are promoted to three levels, your salary can exceed 10,000 yuan. This was considered a high salary in Hong Kong in the 80s.

Everyone here is very confident in their writing and wants to move up the ladder and earn a higher salary, so they are all very excited.

"President, I want to ask, how is the article scored?" Xiao Ke suddenly asked, he was one of the creative assistants hired in the summer, and now he is writing "The Legend of Mortal Cultivation of Immortals".

Hearing him ask, everyone turned their attention to summer. Because this "scoring" is related to whether they can be promoted and whether they can get a higher remuneration, which is related to their vital interests, of course, they want to know more clearly.

Summer smiled, "ABCD level four, it's up to me to comment." As for the S-class, because the stakes are very high, I will ask Mr. Cha to comment. Mr. Cha is a giant in the literary world and highly respected, I think you should have no objections to his comments, right?"

"No, no. Everyone shook their heads and said, Kim Yong's prestige in Hong Kong is very high, and he was once awarded the O.B.E title by the Queen of England, so people can certainly trust him.

"Do you have any other doubts?" asked Summer with a smile again.

Everyone shook their heads, and they also felt that this kind of salary was very reasonable.

"Well, in that case, let's do it from now on. Everyone worked hard to write a book, and I will not disappoint everyone. Summer said with a smile again.

"Thank you, President. Everyone laughed.

With this system, they have hope, and everyone's creative enthusiasm is higher, and they all write seriously, strive to get S-level evaluation, and be promoted as soon as possible.

……

After the award and punishment regulations, the creative assistants' enthusiasm for writing was stimulated and unprecedentedly high, and the quality of the articles written also skyrocketed, which made Summer feel very satisfied.

On this day, he was taking stock of the company's accounts. If calculated according to the current profit, he can earn one million in three months, and then he can start making his own movie. Thinking of this, Summer couldn't help but be very happy, and at this moment, she suddenly heard the phone ringing.

Summer picked up the phone with one hand, "Hey~"

"Hey, is it Mr. Xia?" A man's voice came from the other side of the phone, which sounded familiar, but Summer couldn't remember where he had heard it.

"Yes, I am. May I ask ...... you are" Summer nodded, but she was puzzled in her heart, not knowing who was on the other side of the phone.

"Mr. Xia is really a noble person, I am the nine-patterned dragon of the old Ngee An, didn't we still drink together with pretty women last time?" said the nine-patterned dragon with a smile.

Hearing him say this, Summer suddenly remembered that it was him!

"But what did he call me for? Did he invite me to Yongsheng again?" Xia thought in his heart, but said with a smile in his mouth, "It turned out to be Brother Long, I'm sorry, there have been too many things recently, and the whole person is busy and confused." Don't blame it, don't blame it!"

"It's okay. The nine-patterned dragon smiled generously, "Mr. Xia, I called today to ask for something!"

Hearing him say this, Summer's heart suddenly chuckled. It's really a night owl coming into the house, and he doesn't know what he wants to do.

"If I really want to help make a movie, then should I go or not?" he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

"Brother Long is such a person, how dare I be worthy of a word. Summer smiled and said, "You say, if I can do it, I will do my best to help." "He left himself plenty of ways to retreat.

"I'm sure you can, I'd like to treat you to a meal, you won't even have this little time, will you?" said the Nine Striped Dragon with a smile.

When Xia heard this, his face suddenly stiffened, this is really hard to excuse.

"Of course not. He replied with a smile.
