Chapter 112: Yangcheng Evening News

talked about the "hero", and reporter Liu almost became dizzy.

From the very beginning, Zhang Tan did not keep a low profile, deliberately pretending to be immature as a teenager, and was able to write stories like the four famous catchers and eagle shooting, saying that he was a young boy, and others would not believe it, so he simply tore off the disguise and directly showed maturity.

Anyway, theoretically, at the age of sixteen, precocious is no different from an adult.

Everyone else has children at the age of fourteen.

Zhang Tan and their Qiao'an community, there is such an example, a fourteen-year-old boy got married and had children.

In rural areas, there are not too many people who get married and have children at the age of seventeen or eighteen. I can't study well, I can't find a job, and I'm idle at home all day, so my parents simply help marry a daughter-in-law and have a child early. After giving birth to a child, it can be regarded as a major event of passing on the ancestry, what do you want to do in the future, the parents don't ask too much, and it is right to pay close attention to cultivating their grandchildren.

So at his age, he behaves a little demonic, and there is not much to make a fuss about.

It will not alarm the Party Central Committee and arrest him for research as a guinea pig.

After talking about the hero, the interview is over.

It was almost noon.

Zhang Tan was the east, and invited Reporter Liu to go to the Zhennan Hotel to rub it and drink a few more bottles of beer. After eating a meal, reporter Liu, who had some alcohol, assured Zhang Tan that he knew how to write the interview script.

That's it.

Reporter Liu left in the car satisfied.

sent the reporter away, Li Yan didn't leave, she still had something to do with Zhang Tan.

"Zhang Tan, how did you decide on the serialization of "Ancient Legends"?"

Zhang Tan said casually: "You said serialization, 60,000 words per issue, what's wrong?" ”

""The Legend of the Ancient has been revised, and the semi-monthly magazine has been revised, do you know?"

"Of course I do." Zhang Tan smiled, "Speaking of which, the revision of "Ancient Legends: Martial Arts Edition", thanks to me, there are no four famous catches, and the magazine has not become popular so quickly." Yes, Sister Li suddenly asked why is this? ”

Li Yan replied: "I want to tell you, you may need to change the way of serialization, you also know that "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has been printed and will be on sale immediately. If you publish one volume a month, one volume will only have 150,000 words, but you serialize 120,000 words in a month in the magazine, which is almost synchronous, which has a big impact on the sales of physical books. ”

Zhang Tan raised his eyebrows, but he didn't pay attention to this: "That's right, there are too many serials, and the impact on the physical book is a bit big." But I told the magazine that I had a good serialization.,The last issue of August has already started to be serialized.,It's hard to regret it.。 ”

"There is no need to regret it, it was originally serialized once every half a month, but now it is better to serialize it once a month, just release a part, which attracts the appetite of readers and can also prompt them to buy physical books."

"Okay, I'll talk to Wang Conglun about changing the serialization to a serialization every month, or 30,000 words at a time."

In the two of magazine serialization and physical book sales, Zhang Tan is of course on the side of physical book sales, and the manuscript fee for serialization is dead, but physical books are sold more and make more money.

This account will be calculated by elementary school students.

And Zhang Tan is now famous, and he can directly take the physical book route. Now serialization is just a role in expanding popularity, and when "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" becomes popular, it makes little difference whether it is serialized or not.

At that moment, Zhang Tan called Wang Conglun and discussed it with the other party.

Subsequently, Wang Conglun decided to serialize "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" in every issue, but reduced the number of words in each issue from 60,000 words to 30,000 words. In this way, "Shooting the Condor" will be serialized for at least more than a year in "Ancient Legends: Martial Arts Edition".

"To be honest, I really didn't expect you to write such a great achievement after only writing a novel for our magazine for less than a year, and now as long as "Shooting the Condor" is written, the novels you write in the future, I'm afraid that the publishing house will rush to book it." Wang Conglun was on the phone, full of emotion, "I won't be polite to you anymore, please don't forget our magazine in the future, and welcome to publish a novel in "Ancient Legends and Martial Arts Edition" at any time." ”

"Haha, Lao Wang, you are too polite." Zhang Tan also sighed a little, ""The Legend of the Ancient Times" is my start, I will not forget it, as long as I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely publish my works on it." By the way, in addition to writing long stories, I also wrote some short stories, and I'll send them to you another day. ”

"Okay, we're also very welcome for short stories."

The short stories are all made up by Zhang Tan himself, and he feels good, but whether he can be recognized or not, he can't guarantee: "I'm good at writing long stories, short stories are written casually, the quality may not be very high, you look at it, publish it if there is a suitable one, throw it away if it is not suitable, don't give me face." ”

"I can't afford to throw it away."

"Seriously, Lao Wang, if you don't write well, throw it away, don't post it if it's not exciting, I'm afraid it will affect my reputation." Zhang Tan said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"Okay, I'll sift through it carefully."

……

Immediately after the "Heqi Evening News", reporters from "Jianghuai Morning News", "Xin'an Evening News", and "Anwei Daily" came to interview, and even the resident reporters of "Yangcheng Evening News" also came to interview Zhang Tan.

And for a while afterward, Zhang Tan paid attention to these newspapers every day.

In addition to the "Yangcheng Evening News", which is to be bought in the city, several other newspapers, grandfather Zhang Henong have subscribed, and Zhang Tan can go directly to read them.

"From a High School Freshman to a Well-known Writer, Zhang Tan's 'Hero' Culture" -- this is a report on the fourth page of the "Hehuai Evening News", and the writer is signed by reporter Liu.

The whole story can be divided into three sections.

The first paragraph focuses on Zhang Tan's status in mainland martial arts literature, the popularity of his works, and how much he is appreciated. What is the new grandmaster of mainland martial arts, the standard-bearer of mainland martial arts literature, leading a generation of martial arts trends, and so on. Anyway, it is blown very fiercely, and it has the momentum of being the king and hegemonic in martial arts literature.

The second paragraph mainly points out that Zhang Tan is a freshman in high school, and at the same time, he is a native of Hehuai, who grew up in an ordinary family but grew up extraordinary, and is gifted and intelligent, which can be called a genius.

The third paragraph is used to promote the new book, reporting on the imminent release of Zhang Tan's new book and what kind of story he wrote.

Finally, I will make a summary and end the report.

Basically, this report has excavated all the news points that can be excavated, and the freshman in high school, who publishes books to make money, gets fame and fortune, is around.

It sounds like a combined version of the "American Dream" story.

A teenager born in an ordinary family, he did not go through the back door through any relationship, only relied on his own talent, worked hard to write, and became famous in one fell swoop and changed his fate.

It's really a very immersive story.

After reading the report of "Hehuai Evening News", many people want to buy a novel by Zhang Tan and read it carefully to see what Zhang Tan, a first-year high school student, has written, so that he can become famous and make money.

The rest of the newspapers, although reported in different ways, have more or less attracted many people to buy them.

What's even more impressive is that "Yangcheng Evening News" also published Zhang Tan's news.

As one of the top 20 newspapers in the world in terms of circulation, Yangcheng Evening News has no readers, influence, and radiation to Hong Kong and Taiwan.

"Yangcheng Evening News".

The headline of this news article is a bit blunt - "Sixteen-year-old new generation of martial arts novelist Zhang Tan".
