As soon as Xiao Ran heard someone calling him, he hurriedly looked back, and was immediately frightened, it was actually Xu Guangwen, the great director who had just signed a script with him!

Director Xu stepped forward and said, "Xiao Ran is your name, right?" I'm not mistaken, right? ”

Xiao Ran nodded: "Yes, Director Xu is so free to hang out in the film and television city?" ”

Hearing Xiao Ran's words, Xu Guangwen took a step back, glanced at another middle-aged man wearing glasses beside him, and said to Xiao Ran: "There happened to be a close friend who came to visit the class today, so I took him to the film and television city to visit it when I finished work, and I would like to introduce you to him, this is Mr. Jin Lan, he is the founder of "Minbao", ......"

After finishing speaking, he said to Jin Lan: "This is the screenwriter of my new drama "Smiling Proud Jianghu", which is about to start filming! ”

Hearing this, Mr. Jin Lan was very surprised and hurriedly asked, "Is that the script you showed me today?" You say that the script was written by this little brother? ”

Director Xu nodded in agreement, and Jin Lan immediately took the initiative to stretch out his hand to Xiao Ran and said, "Hello, I have read the script you wrote, and it is very well written!" ”

Although Xiao Ran didn't know this person, he had also heard that "Minbao" was a very famous newspaper in Yanjing, and it was said that it was once very popular, with daily sales of more than one million.

As soon as he heard that this Mr. Jin Lan was the founder of "Minbao", and the other party expressed his appreciation for the script he wrote, and took the initiative to stretch out his hand to show goodwill, Xiao Ran naturally couldn't slack off, and immediately held his hand and responded: "Hello! ”

"Lao Jin, didn't you still say in the morning that you really wanted to meet the author of the script? Now that we're destined to meet, why don't we go for a drink together? Xiao Ran, what do you think? ”

Director Xu took the initiative to speak, and the two naturally had no objections.

So under the leadership of Director Xu, the three of them came to a very famous music restaurant in the film and television city, and after asking for a private room, someone immediately began to arrange wine and food.

Moreover, the format of this music bar is mainly to play classical music, so it is not as noisy as ordinary restaurants and bars, but has just the right atmosphere.

After three rounds of drinking, Xu Guangwen suddenly said: "Brother Jin, I have already introduced you to Xiao Ran who you want to know, so take this opportunity to tell you what you think." ”

Xiao Ran never thought that the boss of a huge newspaper industry would want to know himself, the current little person, presumably it was the script of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" that played a leading role.

After Director Xu's words were finished, Jin Lan took the initiative to toast Xiao Ran with a glass of wine, and said directly after drinking: "Mr. Xiao Ran, I actually read the script you wrote, and I feel that you are particularly sensitive to the martial arts world, as we all know, the hottest thing in the publishing industry is martial arts novels, and the reason is that most of the people who have bought paper books are over thirty years old, in fact, newspapers are the same, and most of the people who can buy newspapers are also people over thirty years old......

As Jin Lan's words became more and more topical, Xiao Ran didn't interrupt, but continued to listen: "Originally, the sales of our "Minbao" have been very good, and once tried to sell millions of copies per day, but at this time, the market share is getting smaller and smaller, until now it is rare to maintain 200,000 copies, but this number is still declining! ”

Speaking of this, Jin Lan smiled bitterly: "The reason is actually the shrinkage of the newspaper industry, originally the newspaper was a channel for Chinese people to understand many major events of current affairs and people's livelihood, and even the only channel when the country was underdeveloped, but with the rise of the Internet era, the major events that people want to know can be seen as long as they go online, so the newspaper has to change, right?" Over the years, we have opened up an editorial section, a film review section, a gossip section dedicated to breaking the news of celebrities, and a variety of consumer information and travel consulting sections......"

With Jin Lan's introduction, Xiao Ran also gradually understood the situation and changes faced by the newspaper, there is no doubt that Jin Lan's changes are in line with the times, if it is just like in the past to report national events, it is actually difficult to compete with major websites, after all, with the intelligence of mobile phones, with a flick of a finger, world events are in the eyes.

Therefore, if we continue to make newspapers in the same way, we will face a three-layer attack from the same industry, the media industry and the Internet industry, which is undoubtedly unwise behavior.

But if you want to change, it's not so easy, the problem with the gossip sector is that the entertainment industry is very sluggish at the moment, and few people pay attention to the gossip of which celebrity, Jin Lan is a businessman with a bottom line, so he absolutely doesn't use the news he fabricates, and as for the consulting sector of consumption and tourism, it is also a specific small number of people who are paying attention to.

Of course, the form of this editorial and film review section is to make Xiao Ran's eyes shine, in fact, this is indeed a new idea, there are countless news and movies every day, but in addition to reading the report, the audience hopes to express their own opinions on this, or see others have the same opinion as themselves.

As the saying goes, in the eyes of a hundred readers, there are a hundred Hamlets.

The same events and works can have countless opinions, which is undoubtedly the difference in the newspaper industry, and it is easy to survive if you find a market without competition.

If this had not been the case, perhaps the newspaper would have closed down a few years earlier.

At this moment, even Xu Guangwen couldn't help but interject and praise: "If you have the opportunity, you can go and search the past newspapers of "Minbao", there are often many editorials and film reviews written by Mr. Jin Lan himself, his views are very unique, and the analysis is exceptionally clear and reasonable, I personally like to read it very much!" ”

Xiao Ran also praised: "Mr. Jin Lan does have a unique way of thinking, and through your adaptation, he has indeed found a new living space for the "Minbao". ”

Hearing the praise of the two, Jin Lan smiled bitterly but sighed and said: "It's a pity that even so, the daily sales of "Minbao" are still not as good as before, and they can barely be maintained, but the scale is getting smaller and smaller. ”

When Xiao Ran heard this, he couldn't help but comfort: "Why should Mr. Jin Lan be so pessimistic! ”

Jin Lan heard Xiao Ran's persuasion, and tried to squeeze out a smile and said: "Recently, I saw that Lao Xu's martial arts action movies are popular, and the publishing industry's rankings are all topped by martial arts novels, so I hope to add a novel serialization section to the "People's Daily", the initial hope is to first focus on that kind of short story or a series of martial arts novels, but the manuscripts submitted so far do not meet my ideas, and I happened to see the script written by Mr. Xiao Ran today, so I hope to have the opportunity to get to know you, I wonder if you can write this type of martial arts novel? ”
