Chapter 540: Why don't we start a newspaper together!

Fang Hao flipped through the manuscript in his hand.

I admire it very much, and I really ate this bowl of rice naturally.

It's only been one night, and I've written 10,000 words!

The point is, it's still handwritten!

Patiently waiting for Fang Hao to finish reading, Zha Liangyong asked, "Brother Fang, what do you think?" ”

What do you think?

When Zha Liangyong took the manuscript of the first volume of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and handed it to you, asking you to help give comments and help revise it, what did you say?

Yes, of course......

"What the hell is written, rewrite!" Fang Hao held back this sentence, afraid that the joke would be too big and let Zha Liangyong stop writing in his life, and the readers would have to scold him to death, he nodded and said, "Great story!" But why is there no beginning and no end, just the middle paragraph? ”

The paragraph that Zha Liangyong showed to Fang Hao was the story of Guo Jing's first meeting with Huang Rong.

"The whole story is in my mind, and the reason why I wrote this paragraph ......" Zha Liangyong said embarrassedly, "The main reason is that I think Huang Rong is very similar to the young lady I saw yesterday, since I can't get her in reality, I will write her into the book!" In fact, after writing it, I felt much smoother! ”

All right!

You are strong!

Originally, Xiaolongnu was written according to Yang Meng's image, but because of Fang Hao's arrival, Huang Rong was written according to Yang Meng's image.

Fang Hao suddenly thought of a question, since Xiaolongnu was written according to the image of Zha Liangyong's dream lover Yang Meng, but Xiaolongnu was defiled by Yin Zhiping.

The old man's thoughts seem to be ......

Can't delve into, can't delve into!

Fang Hao said: "Then what story do you want to write?" ”

Zha Liangyong said: "Most of the current martial arts are written within the framework of the martial arts of Gu Mingdao, Wen Gongzhi, Pingjiang Buxiao Sheng and others, and the content of the writing is nothing more than grievances and hatreds, and the children of the rivers and lakes!" ”

Fang Hao smiled: "So, you want to write something different?" ”

"Yes!" Zha Liangyong nodded seriously, "I have actually been thinking about it for many years, and I want to integrate martial arts into historical themes, which will give people a sense of substitution that blends truth and falsehood, and does not know the truth or falsehood!" And this story, I want to write a civilian hero, who can become a golden sword and horse in Mongolia, but returns to the Central Plains without hesitation, compared to Yang Kang, who recognizes the thief as his father......"

Zha Liangyong chattered.

Fang Hao and Chen Wentong listened carefully beside them.

Although I have watched "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" for a long time, I heard Mr. Jin explain the plot simply, and that feeling is completely different from reading a book.

And this kind of historical figure, in front of you saying what he wants to write, there is a very strange feeling in it.

Fang Hao couldn't help but exhale, and when he saw the two of them looking at him, he nodded seriously and said, "The great man of chivalry, for the country and the people!" ”

"Okay, what a chivalrous man for the country and the people!" Zha Liangyong suddenly shouted loudly, trembling with excitement, "Brother Fang, you know me best!" ”

Fang Hao smiled slightly.

Can you not understand? I don't know how many people in later generations will rely on studying your literature to eat, but I guess many of them didn't even think of it when you wrote it, and they all helped you think of it.

Fang Hao asked, "Atong, what do you want to write?" ”

Chen Wentong said very frankly: "The story I want to write is not as majestic as what Ah Yong wrote, and of course, my writing can't control that kind of style!" So the story I wanted to write was the story of a small person...... The time was in the late Qing Dynasty, when the foreign powers invaded, and the Boxer Rebellion was powerful at this time, and Ding Jianming, the head of the Taiji Sect Ding faction in Baoding Mansion, did not listen to the advice of decent people for decades because of his unknown knowledge, and was close to the official mansion and far away from the rivers and lakes......"

Fang Hao didn't hear this story at first, until he heard that the protagonist was Liu Mengdie, he suddenly remembered, and it was rare to write it with the heroine as the beginning, this book is Liang Yusheng's first "Dragon and Tiger Fighting Essence".

Fang Hao has read this book, the plot is actually very thin, and the characters are not very good.

But the victory is the victory, which was the first new school of martial arts in Xiangjiang at that time.

This is just like the early Internet, ten years later, it may be poisonous, but at that time, it was a mess.

Chen Wentong looked at Fang Hao expectantly: "How is it?" ”

Fang Hao nodded: "To tell the truth, it's not as good as Ah Yong's, but in terms of content, it's also the best in the current middle." ”

"Haha, it's good to get your good evaluation!" Chen Wentong said with a smile, "I can't compare with Ah Yong, we all agree on his talent!" ”

A few people chatted about literature for a while.

After the servant brought the tea, Fang Hao said: "These two articles are published or serialized in the newspaper, and they will definitely explode!" But I was thinking, instead of letting others make this money, why don't you make it yourself? ”

Chen Wentong is a few years older than Zha Liangyong and has more experience, so he is more mature, he leaned over and asked, "Brother Hao, what do you mean?" ”

"Start a newspaper!" Fang Hao said categorically, "Both of them are newspaper people, and they also know the profits of this newspaper!" So I don't need to say more! ”

"Oh!" Chen Wentong nodded, leaned back in his chair, took a sip of tea, and didn't say anything more, but thought about it.

Zha Liangyong was anxious and said: "Brother Hao, this newspaper, rent, salary and even paper printing, but it's all money!" ”

Fang Hao said: "Don't hide it, I don't have much else, just a lot of money!" ”

Chen Wentong said with a smile: "Brother Hao, the money for running a newspaper is not 120,000, at least 100,000 yuan!" Especially in the early stage, the newspaper sales will not be high, but you have to keep printing! When Ta Kung Pao was first founded, it lost more than 230,000 yuan in the first year! ”

Fang Hao said: "Two hundred and thirty thousand, it doesn't matter, I don't worry about handing it over to others, if you are willing to do it, I am willing to lose 500,000 yuan a year!" ”

Zha Liangyong understood, and he smiled: "Brother Hao, do you think ours can drive newspaper sales?" ”

Fang Hao asked, "Isn't it?" ”

Zha Liangyong said: "Let's not say that we are not famous now! Even if it can be popular, I think it will be difficult to make a profit, and it would be nice to be able to maintain it without going out of business! ”

In fact, this is also the case in history, and Mr. Jin serialized "The Condor Heroes" in "Ming Pao", but he only maintained that the newspaper would not go out of business.

Moreover, the style of the newspaper is getting lower and lower, and it has gradually become a "small citizen newspaper" that focuses on martial arts, lace news, horse gambling and the stock market, and in his own words, it is gradually approaching the "sound of dogs and horses".

But this is different from his original intention of running a newspaper, when the old man wanted to run a newspaper that readers and intellectuals love to read.

But even if it was "a dog and a horse", the sales of "Ming Pao" at the beginning were only more than 1,000 copies.

"The Condor Heroes" is good, but the advantage of the newspaper is that it is convenient to circulate, and it is very easy for dozens of people to circulate a newspaper, so the sales have not been able to rise.
