After talking to Kim Yong, when he returned to the magazine in the summer, he asked Tang Congsheng to add a job advertisement.

We are looking for creative assistants, who are required to have literary accomplishment, writing experience, fluent writing, rich imagination, strong communication skills, a monthly salary of more than 1,000 and a half, and the number of places is limited.

"President, what do you mean by creative assistant?" Tang Congsheng asked suspiciously, he had worked in the group for so long and had never heard of this position.

Summer smiled, "That's what helped me write a novel." I wrote six novels on my own, and it was so hard. So find a few people to help me write together. ”

"Oh!" Tang Congsheng suddenly realized, isn't that equivalent to ghostwriting, and he has to give him the name of "creative assistant", and he doesn't know how lofty he thinks it is.

However, he did not object to the summer ghostwriting. This kind of ghostwriting is not uncommon in the literary world, Jin Yong and Gu Long have asked someone to write on their behalf. Gu Long is even an expert in ghostwriting, and before he became famous, he used to write for Wolongsheng. Later, after becoming famous, he asked Ding Qing, Shangguan Ding, Shen Shamei, etc. to ghostwrite for him.

"I see, President. Tang Congsheng nodded.

……

With the addition of the last ad, the prototype is officially produced.

In the following summer, he took Chen Yixin and Tang Congsheng to the printing house to officially print the first issue of "Fantasy World".

Located in the Tsuen Wan Industrial Zone, the factory has been working with Ming Pao Group for many years. "Fantasy World" is printed here, which can save a lot of money compared to other places.

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

Now Fuyi Printing Factory has adopted a laser phototypesetting system instead of lead printing as he thought.

The specific operation process is as follows: they first use the keyboard to enter the text into the computer, and then use the typesetting software to typeset on the computer. After proofreading, a sample was obtained from the printer.

After the sample is verified and approved, they will send the arranged documents to the imagesetter controller through the imagesetting software, and then output them on the laser imagesetter to get the required film.

After that, the finished film is placed on a printing machine, and the contents of the film are projected onto a special aluminum plate through the printing machine. After laser scanning, etching, processing, and bending, the aluminum plate used in printing is obtained. The aluminum plate is then shelved on the printing press, and it is ready to be printed.

Before, the Fuyi Printing Factory had already arranged the plates, and when the summer and others arrived, they would immediately start making and printing.

"President Xia, how many copies of your magazine do you want to print?" asked Ma Fuyi, the director of the factory, "If only a few thousand copies are printed, then the fee will be a little higher." After all, our plate making also costs money. ”

"Let's print 20,000 copies first, and if we need to, we'll continue to print more. Summer thought for a moment.

With Jin Yong's "Ming Pao" to help him do publicity, "Fantasy World" magazine sold 20,000 copies, it shouldn't be difficult.

"Okay, happy up! President Xia, we'll listen to you. Director Ma laughed.

"President, isn't it too risky, I think it's better to print 10,000 copies first and see how it works before making a decision, it's safer. Tang Congsheng said with some worry.

Printing 20,000 copies will cost more than 20,000 Hong Kong dollars, and if it can't be sold, if it is smashed in your hands, the magazine will lose money. You must know that there are as many as four or five hundred magazines on the market in Hong Kong, and most of them will not sell more than 20,000 copies.

And because "Fantasy World" is a newly launched magazine, and there are no old users to support it, it is really risky to rashly print 20,000 copies.

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

"Okay. Tang Congsheng nodded.

……

Just when the summer and others were in the printing house, anxiously waiting for the first magazine to come out, the Hong Kong Rich Night Gathering, Ni Ji finished the day's writing, and was drinking and having fun with his confidants.

He had a problem, as soon as it got dark, his hands began to itch, and he couldn't help but touch the wine glass. So he set a rule for himself that all work must be done during the day, so that he can enjoy himself at night.

He has been consistent in the industry for decades, and this rule has never been broken, which also shows that Ni Jing's persistence and perseverance are beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Gu Long is smarter and more famous than him, but he lacks such strong perseverance, so his life is not as nourishing as Ni Xuan, and he is often poorer and five richer. When you have money, you can spend a lot of money without blinking. When there is no money, even medical treatment is a problem.

I heard that he is now seriously ill, coupled with years of alcoholism, he has changed from hepatitis to cirrhosis. In addition, he has not launched a new work in three years, and his life is already very difficult now.

Thinking of this old friend, Ni Xuan's desire to drink became even stronger, "Since you can't drink anymore, then I'll help you and drink your share of wine." He sighed.

I was about to call my confidants to go out for a drink, but at this moment, I heard the doorbell ringing.

After a while, I saw Shen Xicheng walk in in a hurry, "Brother Ni, something is wrong." ”

As soon as Ni Ji heard him speak, he couldn't help frowning. How can this Shen Xicheng be like a night owl, as soon as he enters the door, he will cry out, who is not in a good situation!

"What the hell is going on, sit down and talk slowly. He said with a straight face.

Shen Xicheng didn't hurry to say first, he poured a cup of tea first, and after drinking it all, he said, "I heard from the newspaper that Mr. Cha's "Fantasy World" has begun to be printed. ”

"What?!" Ni stood up with a sigh of relief, "This is impossible, he doesn't have a manuscript, what is he printing?!Did someone secretly write a manuscript for him, or did he ask for a manuscript from Taiwan?"

There are quite a lot of martial arts novel writers in Taiwan, and they are generally very poor, even famous artists like Wo Longsheng, Sima Ling, and Gu Long are so poor that they don't know how much debt they have on their bodies. They are likely to look at the money and help the junior carry a sedan chair for the summer.

"Neither!" Shen Xicheng flatly denied, "I heard that he wrote six novels for serialization in the summer. ”

"Fart!" When Ni Yu heard this, he shouted and scolded, "How capable is he to write six novels by himself?! Do you think he is a Wenqu star descending to earth, or is Kuixing possessed?!"

He couldn't write six novels at the same time, and he didn't believe that the young man in the summer could do it!

Shen Xicheng was scolded by Ni Eyes, and his face was also scornful, "I also heard what people said, and I don't know if it's true or not." But one thing I can confirm is that the "Fantasy World" has really started to be printed. ”

When Ni Orbit heard him say this, he also made up his mind, "Don't panic, just print, people have money, can you not let people print?"

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

"Hmm......" Ni Ji pondered for a moment, he was also worried about this problem.

To be honest, what Jin Yong can see, he can actually see, after all, he is not stupid. He also knew that martial arts novels were now on the verge of difficulties, with rigid subject matter, lack of innovation, loss of readers, and declining sales......

But it doesn't have much to do with him, anyway, he doesn't write pure martial arts, and his novels have been selling well. That's why he refused to reform and refused to let other writers come and eat with him.

But the reforms proposed in the summer are just enough to address these shortcomings. Expanding the subject matter, broadening the mind, and innovating the thinking can rejuvenate the novel and win the favor and popularity of readers again.

Ni Wei knows that this is the trend of the times, and if you are poor, you will change, and if you change, you will be able to do it for a long time! After 30 years of development, martial arts novels have reached a predicament, and it has reached a time when they must not be changed.

And once this "Fantasy World" comes out, it means that the process of promoting the reform of martial arts novels in the summer is on the right track. Next, it's like a train that starts up, unstoppable, and will crash through all the roadblocks that stand in its way.

And he either got on the train and followed him, or he didn't get on the train and was left far behind, or he stopped in front and stopped the train.

The outcome of the three outcomes is: first, follow the footsteps of summer, and people eat meat and drink soup by themselves; second, they fall far behind and are eliminated by the times; third, either the train derails or they are crushed into meat sauce.

After weighing the three results, Ni Huan finally chose to stop in front.

Because Ni has always thought highly of himself, he once wrote that Wesley killed a white bear in Antarctica. In fact, there are no white bears in Antarctica at all, only in the Arctic.

But even if he was found fault by readers, Ni still insisted on not apologizing, and even if he was later assembled and published, he insisted on not revising. The stubbornness of the character and the arrogance of the attitude can be seen.

He is such a proud person, even if he really has a mistake, he can turn a blind eye and turn a deaf ear, how can he be willing to follow an eighteen or nineteen-year-old hairy 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 get an idea as soon as possible. Shen Xicheng urged again.

"Well, then, when this magazine is on the market, you go and buy a few copies, and then find a few book reviewers, find some faults, and criticize it in the newspapers, and devalue it to the point that it is worthless. Ni said face-to-face, "When the time comes, let's see who will buy his magazine." ”

"Gao Ming!" Shen Xicheng said with a smile.

There will be a problem with any novel, and even if there is no problem, you can still find a bone in the egg.
