Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Dawn of the Edge
There are thousands of magazines in China, and large periodicals include Reader's Digest, Bosom Friends, Young Literature and Art, Zhike, and Story Forest.
First-class magazines have ancient and modern legends, folk tales, Jiangmen literature and art, and the world is the same.
These magazines are all outstanding in terms of sales. Among them, there are some types of magazines, such as supernatural magazines, history magazines, martial arts magazines, light novel magazines, traditional literature magazines, photography magazines, National Geographic magazines, history magazines, travel magazines, train magazines, airplane magazines, ...... Wait.
Because the sales volume of these magazines generally does not reach the top level, these magazines are also called niche magazines.
Niche has niche benefits, though. Although the sales volume is not high, the readers are very hardcore. There are often friends who like this kind of magazine, and they have been subscribing for decades. Because of this, like the suspense world, Midnight Talk, Thriller Weekly, and Supernatural No. 1...... These magazines, which don't seem to be very popular in the market, can survive. Even, like the suspense world of the big brother of the supernatural magazine, it is still very good, and after more than ten years, not only the magazine has become more and more distinctive, but also many well-known supernatural authors have become popular.
At this time, another issue of the supernatural magazine began to be sold all over China.
Because most of the magazines are either monthly, semi-monthly or weekly. So, often the release time of their latest magazines is mostly the same. It was Monday, and the weekly magazines were displayed at the newsstands of major middle schools in China.
That's right, whether it's a popular magazine or a niche magazine, students, especially middle school students, are the main users of the magazine.
Give me a copy of the readers.
I want those who care, those who will, take a copy.
Boss, has the story arrived?
During the lunch break, students surrounded the small newsstand and competed for their favorite magazines.
Of course, among them, Reader's Digest, Youth Literature and Art, Yiren, and Story Forest are always the most popular. However, in addition to these magazines, paranormal magazines are also very popular on campus. Magazines like this are not only liked by boys, but also by little girls.
As a result, some students have bought Suspense World, Thriller No. 1, Midnight Talk, etc.
Xiaojiang Middle School.
At this time, most of the students who had bought the magazines returned to their classrooms, ready to read the magazines they had bought in one go.
"Xie Yanping, why did you buy it again in the middle of the night, I heard that this magazine is going to go out of business. β
Zhou Wen, a classmate, took the reader's digest in his hand, and said to Xie Yanping helplessly, "You say, if you don't read a good reader's digest, what kind of supernatural magazine do you read?" Most of these magazines are horrific and have little literary value. Besides, if you read a magazine like this during class or during evening self-study, and the teacher finds out, it will definitely be confiscated. However, a reader like me, even if he was found by the teacher during the evening self-study, he would not say anything. β
As if he found that his words did not persuade Xie Yanping, Zhou Wen said again, "Alas, Xie Yanping, why don't you agree to what you say." Even if you want to read supernatural magazines, you have to read the suspense world. You see, Zhu Songbin has been buying suspense world. According to him, it seems that next month Zhang Yun, the master of supernatural beings, will serialize a novella horror novel in the suspense world, I see when you are, you should buy the suspense world, and stop watching this kind of midnight talk that no one will read. β
After saying so much, finally, Xie Yanping, who was gnawing on the book, raised his head, "I've been reading it for a few years, and I'm used to it." β
"Okay, whatever you want. Still, I suggest you change it. I'll show you after I've read the readers. I'm sure you'll be fascinated by the philosophy of life in it. And, after reading these life philosophies, you will also be like them, towards success. β
Zhou Wen is the hardcore of Reader's Digest, and it is a must-buy in almost every issue. And there is a very important sub-column in Reader's Digest, that is, philosophy of life. The philosophy of life sub-column is the same as his name, talking about life and philosophy, which has a very powerful brainwashing effect. Or it's not brainwashing, these philosophies are still more positive. Therefore, after reading Reader's Digest, many people are out of control and indulge in the philosophical world of Reader's Digest.
Although Zhou Wen has nothing to do with Reader's Digest, as a hardcore of Reader's Digest, he also wants more people to read Reader's Digest with him from time to time.
"Okay, if I've read the Midnight Talk, I'll also look at your Reader's Digest. β
Xie Yanping didn't know whether he had read Reader's Digest, but he didn't like Reader's Digest very much. Even, it's more hateful than disliked. Yes, what Xie Yanping hates most is the philosophy of life in Reader's Digest. My sister's philosophy of life is there every day to talk about big truths, and no one understands these big truths. However, hundreds of millions of people in China have read Reader's Digest, but how many people have succeeded in reading these life philosophies?
So, he thinks, Reader's Digest is actually a terrible magazine. Instead of being brainwashed by the big truths in Reader's Digest, it is better to read the supernatural novels he likes. At the very least, there is no big truth in the supernatural novel, and there is no preaching, what he says is just a story. And Xie Yanping just likes stories.
However, Xie Yanping thought so in his heart, but he didn't say it, and buried his head again in watching his midnight conversation.
Speaking of talking in the middle of the night, Xie Yanping couldn't help but sigh lightly.
In fact, how could he not know that the midnight talks that have been in existence for more than ten years are almost no longer possible. Just like the supernatural stories in magazines, although there are dozens of supernatural stories published in the weekly magazine, none of them can attract him. Even if it is a novel written by the supernatural master "March" recommended in the middle of the night, Xie Yanping reads it ordinary.
It's just that, despite this, Xie Yanping still watched it as always.
It's a feeling.
Even if you talk about the above story in the middle of the night, the more you write it, the more you write it, the more you can see it.
The last one.
After quickly reading all the previous supernatural novels, Xie Yanping felt more and more disappointed.
Originally, he still had some expectations for the 300th issue, thinking that the 300th issue of Midnight Talk would have some blockbuster novels released. This was also advertised at the end of the 299 end of the 299 Talks in the middle of the night, but Xie Yanping's expectations turned into disappointment.
This is not the first time that we have been disappointed.
Perhaps, you should really listen to Zhou Wen's advice and look at the suspense world instead.
As the first magazine of the supernatural genre, the suspense world originally wanted to be subscribed to by Xie Yanping for a long time. It's just that there was a fight between the suspense world and Midnight Talk back then, and the result was that Xie Yanping's support for Midnight Talk won. In the end, Xie Yanping became a hardcore talker in the middle of the night, and he couldn't touch the suspense world in a daze. It's just that ten years in the east of the river, ten years in the west of the river. Back then, I could compete with the suspense world in the middle of the night, but now I am no longer the opponent of the suspense world.
Forget it, it's useless to think about it yourself, it's all a competition between magazines.
After reading the last one, I will go to the suspense world in the future.
Talk in the middle of the night, my old friend, and I hope you don't blame me.
Strange.
The last story in the middle of the night is called Liaozhai, and Xie Yanping doesn't particularly know what Liaozhai means.
It's just that although it is not clear, seeing the word "Liaozhai", Xie Yanping feels that there is some indescribable charm.
This is a bit like reading Tang and Song poems, which is very feeling.
Talk about fasting, talk about fasting.
Chewing these two words on the corners of his mouth, Xie Yanping showed a hint of a smile.
No matter how this Liao Zhai is written, but the word Liao Zhai really makes him like it very much.
Putting down the word chatting for the time being, Xie Yanping continued to look down.
The story of the bite ghost is very short, probably only more than 1,000 words.
Soon, Xie Yanping finished reading this supernatural story.
This supernatural story is about a ghost pressing the bed. Nothing peculiar, not scary at all. Even, Xie Yanping still has some feelings that this ghost story is too clichΓ©d. What age is it now, supernatural novels want horror, suspense, and thriller...... In addition to the charm of the name, the whole article is too plain, and there is no **.
It's just that when Xie Yanping closed the conversation in the middle of the night, he was a little reluctant and a little hopeful.
I just read the article about fasting, but I can't get rid of it in my mind.
