"Hong Kong people like to read newspapers, and it is the region with the largest proportion of Chinese newspapers in the world, and in the early eighties, Hong Kong, a small land with a population of less than four million, actually fed hundreds of newspapers.

Even in the 21st century, when the paper media is shrinking in an all-round way, it is a miracle that there are still more than 50 newspapers in Hong Kong. It can also be said that it is the success of the newspaper industry.

Of course, there are political, economic, cultural and other reasons for this, and Hong Kong people like gossip news (in Hong Kong paparazzi are famous), and the love of novels is also an important factor.

In the 80s, Hong Kong's newspapers mainly included Oriental Daily, Ming Pao, Sing Pao, Sing Tao Daily and so on. Among them, Oriental Daily, Ming Pao, Cheng Pao and other newspapers are the strongest, with sales of around 100,000 copies, while many small newspapers sell only more than 10,000, and some even less than 10,000.

Although he is just a rookie writer, Lei Weidong's predecessors who wrote novels are not the same, who wears them on the body of a rich second generation.

Although Lei Weidong has nothing to do with because of his young grade, Wu Bo has been in Hong Kong for decades, runs a theater, and also joined Golden Harvest Cinemas, with many networks, and it is too simple to help Lei Weidong find a few newspapers to submit.

It can be said that as long as Lei Weidong is willing, it is Master Jin of Ming Pao, and Uncle Wu can also find a relationship to talk about, and send the novel directly to the door for Master Jin to review.

However, Lei Weidong did not take this step, he still has confidence in the novel "Looking for Qin", and Lei Weidong doesn't want to trouble Uncle Wu for everything, so he decided to choose to submit it to see, if it really doesn't work, then find a relationship.

Of course, Lei Weidong did not send the novel to Oriental Daily, Ming Pao, Cheng Pao, and these big newspapers, it is very simple that newspapers like Ming Pao receive too many manuscripts and articles every day, and many novels are not read by the editors, but just look at the name, and if they are not famous, they will be directly in the trash.

This is not nonsense, there were too many movies and TV in previous lives to introduce this aspect.

The content of a newspaper is so big, in addition to the necessary news, reviews and other content, the content of the novel is so big, then there is time to give newcomers a chance.

After Jin Yong's pen closed the Hong Kong martial arts novels, the talents withered, is there no newcomer coming out? How is it possible, there have been talented people in the country for hundreds of years, and there are often thousands of horses, but Bole is not often.

Looking at the fame of Master Jin and Ni Mad can be seen that Jin Yong founded Ming Pao by himself and became famous after several years of writing novels.

Ni Kuang was lucky enough to meet Master Jin, and he became famous because of Master Jin's promotion.

As for the female writer Yishu, she is Ni Kuang's sister. And Master Huang just started to ghostwrite, and only when he became famous did he start writing his own novels, and in order to sell them, he added a lot of material plots to the novels.

Hong Kong novels have serious plots, and there must have been countless people who wrote novels in the 80s, why no one is famous, there is no chance of becoming famous at all.

Lei Weidong can be sure that even if a novel like "Looking for Qin", which has been verified by Hong Kong citizens and loved by Hong Kong people, wants to be published in newspapers such as Ming Pao and Cheng Pao, unless someone introduces it, or goes directly to Master Jin and is valued by Master Jin, otherwise there is no chance at all.

There is a 100% chance that it will be thrown in the trash box if you send it.

In the era of online literature, why there are so many great gods is not because the Internet era gives everyone an equal opportunity to become famous.

Everyone can put their novels on the Internet and let netizens comment directly. If it was in the eighties and nineties, it is estimated that those Internet gods would have disappeared among all living beings.

Therefore, Lei Weidong did not send the manuscript to a large newspaper like Ming Pao, but copied the written record of Xun Qin for more than a dozen minutes and sent it to more than a dozen newspapers with a daily sales of about 10,000.

Is there anything wrong with sending it to too many homes at one time, Lei Weidong didn't think about it, anyway, it's only a manuscript of tens of thousands of words, and it doesn't matter if it flows out.

Two days later, Lei Weidong was woken up at eight or nine o'clock in his big bed, and he was too late to write a book yesterday, if someone hadn't knocked on the door, Lei Weidong would definitely have slept until noon.

Lei Weidong opened the door sleepily and saw a middle-aged man with a flat head and a pair of gold-wire glasses and an old-fashioned wallet standing at the door.

"Little brother, hello, is your adult here?" The middle-aged man saw Lei Weidong open the door, and said habitually holding his glasses with his right hand.

"I'm the only one in the family, what's the matter, what's the matter?" Lei Weidong was still in a half-asleep and half-awake state of confusion at this time. Subconsciously said.

"Oh, that's right, I'm the editor-in-chief of Xingchen Daily, and yesterday our newspaper received a draft of a novel, the address is written here, so I came here, since your adults are not here, forget it, I'll come back in the afternoon." The middle-aged man said with regret on his face.

As soon as Lei Weidong heard that he was the editor of the newspaper, his mind immediately cleared up.

"You're the editor of the Star Daily?"

"What's wrong?"

"Are you here today to talk about the publication of "The Legend of Qin"?"

"yes," the middle-aged man wondered.

"That's good, I'm the author of "Looking for Qin". There is something we can talk about directly. Lei Weidong said with a smile.

"You say you're the author of "Xun Qin"? How can you write such an article! You know, there's a lot of it inside....! ”

Hearing Lei Weidong say that he was the author of "Looking for Qin", the middle-aged man said with some disbelief in his heart.

"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Lei Weidong blinked and said, since Lei Weidong decided to live his demonic life, he was ready to face the situation.

So there is no blame for the other party with such a skeptical tone. After all, at his age, it is not like he can write a little yellow and essay like "Looking for Qin".

Chen Haiming is the editor-in-chief of Xingchen Daily, Xingchen Daily is a small newspaper with a daily sales volume of only eight or nine thousand copies, although the editors and reporters of the newspaper are very hard to run the news, but unfortunately there is no big news, and the sales have not been able to rise, until now the Xingchen Daily has been established for five or six years, and the highest sales volume is only more than 10,000 yuan.

Recently, I haven't found any big news. Newspaper sales have been declining. The newspaper suffered serious losses, which made Chen Haiming desperate, and the newspaper boss began to lose confidence in the newspaper.

If sales can't be raised, the boss may stop investing, and once the newspaper closes, Chen Haiming will join the unemployed army. This was fatal for Chen Haiming, who was already in his forties.

As soon as I went to work today, as soon as Chen Haiming entered the door, he saw the editors of the newspaper gathered around, and he was angry.

"What are you doing, why don't you go to work yet!!" The growl of the editor-in-chief is heard. People immediately made a mess, and because of the sales problem these days, the editor-in-chief has a very bad temper, and if he touches the muzzle, it will be over.

"Something just got together." Seeing everyone go back to their seats, they got busy. Although he knows that everyone is acting like this, Chen Haiming is still very satisfied, although his performance is not very high, but at least he still has his deterrence. ”

Hearing the editor-in-chief's question, everyone's eyes were nailed to an editor named Wang Wei. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Wang Wei stood up in cringe: "Editor-in-chief, the newspaper received a novel manuscript in the morning, and it was written so wonderfully, everyone was fascinated." ”

"Novel manuscript! Take it for me to see. Chen Haiming was stunned, everyone knows that Hong Kong people like novels, and there are many who write novels.

It's a pity that after Master Jin closed the pen, there were no top-ranked writers, and because the sales of Xingchen Daily were too small, there were basically no novel manuscripts sent here.

They were basically sent to Ming Pao and Oriental Daily. Even if the writing sent is terrible, the content is even worse.

And this novel is different, Chen Haiming was fascinated when he saw it.

At the beginning of the article, Xiang Shaolong, a modern special elite, was drinking, fighting, and soaking women in a bar, and the emotional description was very explicit, which made Chen Haiming, a man in his forties, a little uncontrollable.

Then the writing turned, Xiang Shaolong took the time machine to ancient times and landed on the bed of the silkworm girl.

Unconsciously, Chen Haiming was attracted, went to the market to meet Tao Fang, defeated the horse thief Gray Hu, broke through and separated, met the Mo family Juzi, learned Juzi swordsmanship, came to Handan, joined the Wu family, and the Wu family beauties Wu Tingfang and Lian Jin clashed .......

"What's the end, what's next?" After reading the manuscript in his hand, Chen Haiming asked unsatisfactorily:

"Editor-in-chief, that's all, but the author left the address." Wang Wei cautiously replied:

"Go get busy, I'll go out!"

As a journalist who has been in the industry for many years, Chen Haiming keenly feels that this novel will definitely be popular, and he must sign the novel while the iron is hot, and he can't let others take the lead.

Chen Haiming didn't even enter the company, so he rushed over according to the address. But I didn't expect the author of such a novel to be a teenage little Zhengtai, who originally thought that he would be a lewd middle-aged uncle who could write such an explicit novel.

Chen Haiming regretted it a little as soon as he said it, but the words had already been said, fortunately, the other party was not angry, and Chen Haiming had been in the press for decades, and after regretting it, he returned to normal, and smiled apologetically: "No problem, Mr. Lei, I was just a little surprised by your age just now." ”

"What's so surprising about this, the ancients Kong Rong let the pear at the age of four, Sima Guang smashed the cylinder at the age of nine, and Ganluo was the twelve secretaries of the Qin State, I am nothing." Lei Weidong replied with a smile.

After Chen Haiming listened to Lei Weidong's words, he was sure that Lei Weidong was undoubtedly the author of Xun Qin Ji, so he secretly shouted a demon and a little pervert, lifted the frame of his glasses and said with a smile, "Since Mr. Lei is at home, then I will be the host, how about inviting Mr. Lei to have a meal." ”

"Well, you wait for me, I'll go back and change my clothes."
