Chapter 92: Jianghu Newspapers
The member said: "Everyone, don't cry, I still ask you to reward more 'Ah Duwu' to help this pair of grandchildren." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Everyone saw that the artists performing disappeared without a trace, and the rich people threw some money on the stage one after another.
I saw that the "bamboo pole" came up to the stage again and said, "Friends, do you still want to see this white-bearded old man and his child again?"
The audience shouted in unison: "Yes." The calf also shouted, "Get the old man and the child." ”
"Bamboo pole" said: "Okay! Since everyone has asked so warmly, I will bring back the white-bearded grandfather and the child for everyone." ”
Everyone's eyes widened, and they saw that behind the stage, the white-bearded old man took the child's hand again, walked up to the stage, and said loudly as he walked: "Everyone, I'm really sorry, we went to the wrong place when we came down, and we landed on the ground in Tokyo. ”
The crowd cheered loudly.
The white-bearded old man took off all his clothes and led the child to bow to the audience on stage.
When Du Shenfei looked carefully, it turned out that the old man was a handsome young man, with a white complexion, eyebrows and a hook, a nose hooked, plump and heroic, and a strange appearance.
The calf saw it first, but he didn't care whether it was good or bad, jumped up on the stage, and pulled at the man's sleeve. Everyone was startled, thinking that this calf was going to commit murder on the stage with a big axe, but they didn't expect the calf to say first: "Immortal, what kind of immortal art did you learn, and how did you get down?"
The man laughed and said, "This big brother, I'm not an immortal, this is just magic." ”
The calf said first, "What is magic?"
The man laughed, "Haha, magic is the legendary illusion." ”
Du Shenfei saw that the calf was pulling the man's sleeve first, for fear of causing trouble, he also jumped on the stage and said: "This brother is really magical, unpredictable, and I admire it very much." My brother is just very curious, and he has no malicious intent, so don't mind. ”
The man saw Du Shenfei's radiant appearance, and hurriedly said, "This brother has won the award." My magic trick, in fact, is the use of all kinds of props to create this kind of incredible and mysterious illusion, so as to achieve the effect of being fake. Just like Zuo Ci during the Three Kingdoms period, he was a great magician who could turn wine glasses into birds. There is also a man named Xu Guang in Wu Guo, who is good at 'planting melons and trees', sowing seeds, and soon growing seedlings and bearing fruit. ”
Du Shenfei said: "Brother Tai's wonderful skills are better than the ancients." ”
The man said: "In the next ten thousand rattles, I just followed in the footsteps of the ancients, learned a little bit, and did not dare to compare with the ancients." I don't know what the two brothers call each other?"
Du Shenfei said: "In the lower Du Shenfei, this is my brother Niu Calf Xian, a native of Tanzhou." ”
Wan Rattle was taken aback and said, "Brother Du is not Du Shenfei, who is known as the 'first knife in Jinghu'?"
Du Shenfei was also taken aback, and said, "Brother Wan, how do you know this title? It's just a random call from one or two acquaintances." ”
Wan rattle said: "I have seen many times in the newspaper that Brother Tai defeated the third young master of the Duan family of Tianji Ridge Fang Qingshan Villa, so I know about it. ”
Du Shenfei felt very novel, and asked, "May I ask Brother Wan, what newspaper are you reading?"
Wan rattle said: "It is a very famous newspaper on the rivers and lakes, I have read two copies, one is called "Wulin Window", and the other is called "No Many Wonderful News", both of which are engraved and printed by themselves, and there are distribution agencies in various places, two issues a month. ”
Du Shenfei asked, "What's on it?"
Wan rattle smiled: "It's all some Jianghu news and current affairs, as well as some gossip anecdotes." ”
Du Shenfei said: "I am ignorant, I have only heard of Di Bao and Chao Bao, and Su Dongpo has a sentence of 'sitting and watching Di Bao to talk about the roundabout, gossiping about Chushan and remembering the drunkard'." Does anyone buy a newspaper like "Wulin Window", which is printed by the people?"
The two were talking, and they saw another person come on stage to perform.
Wan Rattle said to Du Shenfei: "Brother Du, I have nothing to do today, if Brother Tai doesn't dislike it, the three of us will go to the Xichun Building next door to have a bowl, how about it?"
Du Shenfei was overjoyed and said: "Okay! Since Brother Tai has nothing to do, I have the honor to meet Zunyan today, and I am fortunate to have three lives." In Xia Doudong, invite Brother Wan to have a drink. ”
The three of them walked out of the south tile and came to the Xichun Tower not far away. I saw that the door of the store was painted with red and green branches, crimson green curtains, and gold-red yarn gardenia lamps. There is a flagpole erected high next to it, and there is a tortoiseshell red wine cake floating in the wind, with a big book on it: "Xichun Lou Silver Urn in the Library", and a flat forehead outside the carved eaves is written with the three words "Xichun Building".
The three of them went upstairs, chose a seat by the window, sat down, and ordered a table of wine and food.
Du Shenfei asked about the Jianghu newspaper "Wulin Window" again, and said: "Brother Wan just said "Wulin Window", I still want to know more, and I also ask Brother Wan to give advice. ”
Wan Rattle smiled and said, "Why does Brother Du care so much about this newspaper?"
Du Shenfei said: "Brother Wan, don't laugh. This is the first time I've heard of a folk tabloid, and I think it's a new thing. If I have the funds and strength in the future, I won't hide it from Brother Wan, and I also intend to do one. ”
Wan rattled and said, "Brother Du's idea is very good. It's just that many distribution points need to be set up and sent everywhere quickly, and it is difficult to do so without great financial resources. ”
Du Shenfei said: "Exactly." But I'm not in a hurry, I can take my time. He pondered again and asked, "Brother Wan, how much does a newspaper like this usually sell?"
Wan rattle said: "Generally, it is thirty yuan per copy, and it is printed and distributed once every half month, and millions of copies are printed at a time." ”
Du Shenfei said: "This is also a lot of money." Is it just that all of them can be sold?"
Wan Rattle said with a smile: "Brother Du, as long as you have the ability to print it, there is nothing that cannot be sold, this kind of newspaper is very popular in the rivers and lakes." ”
Du Shenfei said: "How did you see it so popular?"
Wan rattle said: "This kind of newspaper and periodical, publishing all kinds of celebrities, heroes, chivalrous and other gossip and interesting stories, dare to publish things that the court newspaper does not dare to publish, is the best thing for people to talk about after dinner." Generally, people with a little wealth of money have several newspapers in their hands, one is the official newspaper, with a serious face, pretending, rigid and boring, and no one wants to read it. The other is the tabloid, which records all kinds of strange people, martial arts hawkers, handsome men and beautiful women, wonderful and eye-catching. People are new and curious, some literati love to watch the anecdotes of the rivers and lakes, and some deep ladies love to see handsome men and beautiful guests, so as long as they are released at the beginning, they will be sold out immediately, so best-selling. ”
Du Shenfei was overjoyed, and said: "Just running a newspaper like this requires a lot of idle scouts and writers, collecting all kinds of news, and then writing and arranging articles, and the cost is also large. ”
