As the first and only weekly magazine in the martial arts novel industry, "Martial Arts Weekly" had a golden period when it was first published, and its peak sales once reached 70,000 copies.

At that time, there was a row of "Martial Arts Weekly" on Lao Lu's stall, which once set a record of selling 26 copies in one day!

But the good time was that year, and later "Martial Arts Circle" and "Old Things in Martial Arts" dug up the wall and poached several leading authors of "Martial Arts Weekly".

Whether it is the martial arts circle or any circle, the author is always the most scarce and precious resource, a high-level author may support the sales of a magazine, and the loss of a high-level author may sometimes ruin the future of a magazine.

The leading author of "Martial Arts Weekly" was poached, and it has been in ruin ever since.

In recent years, although some new authors have been cultivated, they have not been able to recover the prosperity of the year, and sales have been declining.

The brilliance of 70,000 sales is unimaginable, and if any issue can break 50,000, it will be considered a great achievement, and the magazine will even celebrate it.

With the decline of the weekly magazine, Lao Lu's purchase quantity also fell from more than 20 to more than a dozen, and then fell to the current Cheng Dù, who has only five copies left. In this way, there are often one or two copies that cannot be sold, and in the end they can only be returned and made into pulp.

If "Martial Arts Weekly" is half-dead like this, Lao Lu plans to cut some more purchases.

If you don't like it, you don't like it, Lao Lu won't be emotional. The cover of today's "Martial Arts Weekly" is a bit interesting, the two swords are very domineering, and the following line of text also attracted his attention.

"Legend has it that there is a pair of mandarin duck knives in the martial arts, which hides the secret ...... that is invincible in the world"

The treasure knife on the cover, the ellipsis at the end of the text, created a certain inexplicable suspenseful taste, which made Lao Lu Du's heart move, wanting to see what great secrets were hidden in this pair of mandarin duck knives.

It's just that the smell of soy milk in the shop has spread earlier, and the steamed buns have also been put on the steamer, and the neighbors who get up early to wander around will soon visit, so that Lao Lu has no time to think about it.

He conveniently put a copy of "Martial Arts Weekly" next to "Martial Arts Circle", which is the best treatment the weekly has received in the past two years. However, if it can't be sold by eight o'clock, Lao Lu will replace it with another magazine.

The first patronage is Uncle Bao, his surname is Bao and he likes to eat steamed buns, every morning he will go to the newsstand to wander around, buy a newspaper or a magazine, and then go to the morning shop next door to a fragrant and steaming xiaolongbao, pour balsamic vinegar and sesame oil into the plate, and dip the buns up after mixing, and read books and newspapers while eating steamed buns, that is beautiful!

"Old Lu, what's there to see today?" Uncle Bao asked.

"The new "Martial Arts Circle"." Lao Lu introduced.

Uncle Bao shook his head: ""Martial Arts Circle" is messy, not as good as "Old Things in Martial Arts". ”

"Then "Martial Arts Weekly", this issue seems to be a little interesting." Lao Lu pointed.

"Yo, the cover is pretty good." Uncle Bao picked up the weekly magazine and flipped to the text of "Mandarin Duck Knife".

"Four men in strong suits stood side by side, blocking the road!

If it is a strongman who goes to the cottage, there will not be only four, could it be that in this dark pine forest, a large number of people are secretly ambushed? If it is a thief who cuts the path, when he sees such a huge dart team, he is afraid to avoid it, how dare he block the road in such a big way? It's so hard that it's a martial arts master, coming at him?

……”

Uncle Bao was only going to take a glance, but he couldn't let go of this look, and he was "hehe" happy when he looked at it.

Lao Lu was packing up other books and newspapers, and when he saw this, he said strangely: "What are you happy about?" ”

Uncle Bao smiled: "It's very interesting, I want this one." ”

He paid and went to the next door to sit down in the early morning.

Seeing that it was an old acquaintance, the shopkeeper directly served a drawer of xiaolongbao.

Uncle Bao sat on the wooden bench, the magazines were spread out in front of him, his eyes widened and he looked down line by line, and the aroma of Xiaolong buns couldn't even make him take his eyes off.

Ten minutes later, he laughed again, and this laugh alarmed the shopkeeper only to find that the xiao long bao was almost cold, and he didn't move a mouthful.

The shopkeeper leaned over and asked, "Uncle Bao, what are you looking at, you don't eat any steamed buns?" ”

Uncle Bao raised his head, his face was already full of wrinkles, and he was laughing together like a walnut, and said happily: "This novel is interesting, so interesting." ”

"So interesting? Martial Arts Weekly...... I'll buy a copy when I'm not busy later. ”

On this morning, in Shencheng, Pingjing, Shanghai, Songjiang, and hundreds of cities large and small in China, a similar scene was staged in many places.

In this era of advanced technology and backward culture, people crave something interesting and fun, whether it is a novel, a movie, a television, comics, animation, or a game, as long as it is interesting, no one cares about it.

"Martial Arts Weekly" is also a magazine with tens of thousands of sales, and the old customers are attracted by the cover when they buy it, and the first thing to read must be "Mandarin Duck Knife", and as long as they look at it a few times, they will show a knowing smile.

Everyone's feelings are different when you read it, but most people can't wait to share their feelings with others as soon as they read it.

"Have you read it, the "Mandarin Duck Knife" article on "Martial Arts Weekly" is quite funny, it is different from the martial arts novels I have read before."

"At the same table, "Martial Arts Weekly" will lend me a look after reading it."

"Boss, do you still have Martial Arts Weekly here? Why is it out of stock, so when will it still be available? ”

"What kind of is this, how can a martial arts novel still be written like this? Hu Lai! ”

"Hahaha, this Taiyue Sixia is too funny, the name is so domineering, and it turns out to be a group of teasers!"

Some people like "Mandarin Duck Knife", laughing out loud, marveling at how the world of rivers and lakes can be so funny, and marveling at those martial arts characters can be so humorous, and quickly recommend it to relatives, friends and classmates.

Someone scolded after only a few glances, saying that the author was simply scribbling, how could the rivers and lakes be like this, and directly threw the magazine away to pad the table legs.

Some people like it, some people hate it, "Mandarin Duck Knife" is just a novel and not gold, and it is impossible for everyone to like it.

"Martial Arts Weekly" has become a little popular.

said it was hot, but in fact, it just sold well.

"Wuxia Weekly" printed 65,000 copies per issue, and when it was basically not sold out, there would always be 6,700 or even **,000 copies recycled to the paper mill.

However, on the second day of its release, the magazine received calls from many distributors asking for restocking.

This is a situation that "Martial Arts Weekly" has not encountered for several years!
