Chapter 66: Jin Yong's Phone Call
When Li Le got up in the morning for morning transportation, he also asked someone to send a Ming Pao. The five-star hotel service is very thoughtful, as long as it is a reasonable request, the waiter will do it for you. Those who can live in five-star hotels are mainly successful people, and they like to look for business opportunities in the newspaper, so as long as it is a high-end hotel, the newspaper of the day will definitely have it. Therefore, not long after Li Le said that he wanted a copy of Ming Pao, someone personally delivered it to the door.
Looking at the brand-new date is today's Ming Pao, Li Le smiled and flipped it directly. Soon, Li Le saw Zhu Xian serialized on the page of Ming Pao's novel. The day before, Jin Yong explained what he explained in front of Li Le, and Li Le also wanted to see what Zhu Xian was like in Ming Pao.
In just 10,000 words, Zhu Xian has just begun, and he has not reached a wonderful place.
Wang Li also took a look at the Zhuxian serialized in Ming Pao, although it was a traditional Chinese character, Wang Li was still able to understand most of it. Originally, Wang Li had already seen it, and of course she knew the content of the Dao Zhuxian. After taking a general look, Wang Li asked, "What do you say will be the effect of Zhu Xian's serialization in Ming Pao?" ”
Li Le shook his head, he knew that the Dao Immortal had just begun, and the real excitement would happen later. Whether the effect of punishing immortals is good or not, Li Le can't say with certainty. However, Li Le still smiled and said, "I don't know what the road is?" But it must be very exciting out there right now. ”
Li Le's mouth is right, there is indeed enough excitement outside.
Jin Yong asked Li Le to serialize Zhu Xian in Ming Pao, which can be described as playing a good hand. Originally, Hong Kong's newspaper industry would be like a hundred schools of thought contending, a bit of the Warring States Period. However, as soon as Zhu Xian came out, the sales of Ming Pao were outstanding before noon that day, and no newspaper could catch up with the sales at all.
In Hong Kong, not only Ming Pao serialized novels, but also because Jin Yong Ming Pao is so famous. In other newspapers, the works of some writers were also serialized in Ming Pao. Serialized novels have helped their sales to some extent. Among them, Oriental Daily and Sing Tao Daily are the two most famous. However, on this day, the heads of the two newspapers were reprimanded by their bosses, because Ming Pao beat them to the ground with the popularity of Zhuxian.
"Do you eat dry food? People can always find wonderful novels, what about you? I think all the wages I pay you fall from the sky! Let me go to discover, discover good novels. Otherwise, you all get out of here. Almost the same thing came out of the mouths of the CEOs of the two newspapers.
The CEOs of the two newspapers are engaged in print journalism, and the increase in sales of Zhilang Dao is not only as simple as making money, but also a very important day is to be able to improve fame and reputation. Who wouldn't want to be a leader in an industry.
The novels serialized in Ming Pao before can be said to be half-dead, and they don't care too much. Not now, now Ming Pao is simply as hot as the Jin Yong era. Ming Pao came back to life because of Jin Yong's decimals, and today's other peers don't want to see Ming Pao go to the next level because of Zhu Xian, and pull Ming Pao's novel serialization out of the quagmire.
When they were reprimanded, no one felt comfortable, and the heads of many newspapers were reprimanded by the boss, but they could only be submissive on their faces, unless they didn't want their jobs anymore. Because if they are more serious, they are derelict in their duties, and they don't know anything about Ming Pao's information for a day. In fact, it is no wonder that other newspapers, even within Ming Pao, many people waited until Zhu Xian appeared on the page of Ming Pao to know that Zhu Dao Zhu Xian was serialized in Ming Pao.
was reprimanded by the boss and ordered to discover wonderful novels, many people scolded in their hearts: "You think that good novels are easy to write, if that is the case, you won't wait for the appearance of Zhu Xian today." Even if it's a good novel, people's first choice will be Ming Pao. "There is the great god Jin Yong in Ming Pao, and the first thought of people who write novels is to submit articles to Ming Pao. If other newspapers want to serialize a novel, the remuneration must be one or two percent higher than that of Ming Pao. In the serialization of novels, Jin Yong is here, and Ming Pao is invincible.
However, the boss spoke, but the people in charge of the newspaper industry could not help but take action. It's one thing to be able to unearth a good novel, but it's another to behave in front of your boss. Even if you know that you won't find any good novels, you have to give the boss a good opinion. For a time, some newspapers that serialized novels in their own newspapers took action. Some novelists who were previously unconcerned have found them to be particularly popular today. Because many newspapers have contacted them and asked them to write novels, as long as they have reviewed and are good novels, they will definitely be serialized and published. For a while, the novelists who lived in poverty also felt that spring had arrived.
The newspapers had no choice but to do so, and without any connection to a famous writer, they could only cast a wide net at the bottom, hoping to pick up some fish that slipped through the net. This is also a matter of no choice, who asked Ming Pao to snare top writers. Thinking about Ni Kuang and other well-known writers, because of his personal friendship with Jin Yong, the novel will not appear in other newspapers.
The publication of Zhu Xian also caused a result, that is, the identities of Li Le and Wang Li were mentioned by reporters again. Because these two events happened before and after, Li Le and Wang Li had only entered Jin Yong's house the day before, and Ming Pao appeared in the newspaper the next day. The two pieces are close together, and some reporters can't help but think about it.
"If that's the case, you're really big news." Many reporters thought of it in their hearts, and they did not hesitate to search for useful information.
Not long after Li Le and Wang Li finished chatting about Ming Pao's serialized Zhuxian, the phone rang. Picking up the phone, Li Le asked in Cantonese, "Which one?" Although the phone number of the suite where Li Le and Wang Li are located at home is also known, they will not call at this time of day. There are no accidents, the family calls Li Le and Wang Li at night. Therefore, Li Le is very sure that the person who contacts him now must be someone from Hong Kong.
"Li Le? I'm Jin Yong. Jin Yong's voice came from the other side of the phone.
Jin Yong called Li Le from his office in the Ming Pao building, and Jin Yong usually went to work. The day before, it was because Li Le and Wang Li were going to visit, so he didn't go to Mingbao. Today, after he arrived at Ming Pao, he also knew the good news that his sales had increased significantly, and after thinking about it, Jin Yong called Li Le.
Jin Yong called, and Li Le guessed that it was good news. What Jin Yong said next on the phone was indeed good news.
"Li Le, it seems that my decision is really right. Today, Zhuxian has just been serialized, and now it has increased the sales of more than 10,000 copies of Ming Pao to us. To know that many people still don't know about the serialization of Lu Dao, wait until tonight, and the sales of Ming Pao may be more. Originally, we could only sell about 130,000 copies a day, but looking at today's momentum, we will definitely be able to exceed 200,000 copies. Hehe, even if the physical book of Zhu Xian appears in Hong Kong in the future, it will be enough for us Ming Pao. Obviously, Jin Yong is very happy over there. After all, Ming Pao is his career, and he also hopes that his career is good enough.
Hearing Jin Yong's explanation on the phone about the sharp increase in reported sales, Li Le seemed relatively calm. Because no matter how Ming Pao's sales are, it won't affect him too much.
"Congratulations, Mr. Cha." Li Le said very calmly.
Jin Yong said on the phone with a smile: "It is also because of your Zhuxian that there is such a situation." After a pause, Jin Yong said, "Do you think you have time now?" If I have time, I'll arrange for us to sign a contract with some immortals. Jin Yong believes in Li Le's promise, but in his career, he still has a very serious attitude.
Hearing Jin Yong talk about the contract, Li Le smiled and agreed, and then he said: "But you should also know that there is a report about our relationship with you in the newspaper, and it is not easy for me to go to your house or Ming Pao for the time being." Do you think that works? You arrange for someone to bring the contract to me and I can sign it. ”
Li Le believed that as long as he met Jin Yong again or went to the Ming Pao building, the newspaper would definitely be written again. At least the latest one will appear, "Jin Yong's illegitimate son appeared in Ming Pao, and it is suspected that Jin Yong will pass on Ming Pao to his illegitimate son" and so on.
Hearing Li Le's words, Jin Yong Dalu laughed and said, "Just according to what you said, I will arrange it." ”
After finishing business, Li Le and Jin Yong chatted on the phone for a while, and then hung up the phone.
