Chapter 208: A Reason

"Govyn, what are you doing today with the manuscript of the novel?" Zhu Shengli asked with a smile.

"Editor Zhu, I want this novel of mine to be serialized in Wen Wei Po." Govin happily told his wishful thinking.

Since he personally went to the publishing house to hit a wall, let the publishing house take the initiative to come to the door. This is exactly what Govan is thinking.

If you serialize the novel in the newspaper first, it can not only arouse the interest of readers and give readers a sneak peek, but more importantly, it is also a kind of advertising method, and when the novel is published, it is undoubtedly very beneficial to the sales of the novel. As a large-scale comprehensive newspaper in China, Wen Wei Po has a circulation of 1.7 million copies, and it has published many influential works after the Wen Wei Po Revolution, such as the scar literature that we are talking about now, and the novel "Scars" was published by Wen Wei Po.

Therefore, if "Soldier Assault" can really be serialized in "Wen Wei Po", it can undoubtedly implement Gowen's abacus to the fullest.

Moreover, if Wen Wei Po can serialize its own novels, it will also be very beneficial to themselves.

In Gowen's memory, the most typical example of novel serialization is the serialization of his own novels by martial arts writer Jin Yong in the "Mingyuan Daily" he founded.

When Jin Yong founded the "Ming Yuan Daily" in Hong Kong, the newspaper was almost in danger of bankruptcy at the most difficult time, and it was because Jin Yong serialized his novel "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" in the "Ming Yuan Daily" that he really saved his newspaper, so that his newspaper not only did not go out of business, but the circulation soared, and finally became a benchmark newspaper in Hong Kong. Therefore, Hong Kong science fiction writer Ni Kuang once said, ""Ming Yuan Bao" will not go out of business, it all depends on Jin Yong's martial arts novels. ”

Although Govin did not think that the ship "Soldier Assault" he wrote was necessarily better than Jin Yong's "The Condor Heroes", Govin knew that if "Wen Wei Po" really serialized his novel, it would definitely increase the sales of "Wen Wei Po" again.

"Serialized novels?" Zhu Shengli repeated a few words along with Gowen's words.

This statement of Govin is very fresh, "Wen Wei Po" is not without a precedent for serializing novels, in the Republic of China, "Wen Wei Po" used to serialize some novels that the public liked at that time like other newspapers. It's just that with the changes of the times, Wen Wei Po no longer needs to increase sales by serializing novels in order to survive as in the past.

Wen Wei Po is a large-scale comprehensive daily newspaper directly led by the Shanghai Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China and published in Shanghai, and it is more important for it to report on important news at home and abroad in an all-round way, providing readers with authoritative advice and in-depth news interpretation. The supplements and columns of Wen Wei Po are basically all kinds of short articles, which are intended to reflect the rich historical and cultural precipitation, and to actively reflect the rich and colorful political, economic, cultural and social life.

Serialized novels? It doesn't seem necessary.

Zhu Shengli's gaze was erratic, which made Gowen's heart a little bottomless. It is only today that he truly understands the conservative and stubborn thinking of the people in this era, and the state calls on the people to emancipate their minds and reform and open up, but people have become accustomed to the planned economy of the past, and it is really not easy for them to take the initiative to adapt to the market and pursue profits.

Gewen is worried that Zhu Shengli is as conservative as the Shanghai People's Publishing House and other personnel, and not all publishing houses and magazines have the courage to accept all rivers and persist in the blossoming of a hundred flowers like "Harvest".

Of course, he knew what columns were in the supplement of Wen Wei Po, such as "Wenhui Commentary", "PEN Club", "Weekly Lectures", "On Garden", "Xuelin", "100 Literary and Art Schools", "Book Yuan", "Shanghai Talents", "Educators", "Close Range", "Vision", "Healthy Life......... These are all highly praised columns in the minds of ordinary people. However, there is no column for serialized novels in these columns, and if you want your own novels to be serialized in "Wen Wei Po", you actually look at Zhu Shengli's courage and courage, after all, this is also a reform.

"Gewen, you know that Wen Wei Po does not have a column for serialized novels..."Zhu Shengli stared at Gowen and said slowly.

Gowen's heart was cold, and then he heard Zhu Shengli continue: "So, give me a reason for serialization." ”

"Wen Wei Po, as a newspaper that readers like, should have the responsibility to let readers see better works. If Wen Wei Po had the courage to risk being criticized to publish its first scarred novel, "Scars", why can't I serialize my novel now for the sake of readers? ”

As soon as Zhu Shengli finished speaking, Gowen opened his mouth and gave him a reason, which was obviously the deepest thought in Gowen's heart.

"Also, serializing my novels can also increase newspaper sales, so why not."

"Ha, you're pretty confident." Zhu Shengli was amused by Gowen's words.

Govyn pursed his lips and said nothing. Of course, he has self-confidence, his self-confidence is based on his belief in his own writing and confidence in the TV series that has won countless fame in later generations, and more importantly, he believes that in this era of scarce entertainment programs, a work like "Soldier Assault" with crying and laughing, feeling and vitality will inevitably make countless readers crazy.

"Well, I agree to serialize your novel in Wen Wei Po.".
