Chapter 47 Non-mainstream authors

"Calm down, calm down, I'll take a look first!"

The other party opened the "Story Club" and read the story silently. After a while, he was even more excited than Liu Wanbao: "Good ideas! We are worried that there are no suitable literary works to enrich the lives of the masses!

In this way, each commune will take a little less and first look at the responses of the masses. If the response is good, then add the orders later."

"Yes, that's best."

The direct distribution of "Story Club" covers four places, including Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Anhui. Those from other places can also subscribe through the Post and Telecommunications Bureau, and the address and contact information are available in the magazine.

Liu Wanbao was full of energy and still didn't want to go home. After thinking about it for a while, he sat down and simply wrote a letter to the author Archie, which was handed over by "Story Club".

At the beginning, he expressed his admiration and talked about his reading notes on "Kapok Robe". Finally, he said: "We Sichuan are also outstanding and beautiful, with countless beautiful scenery. Mount Emei, Qingcheng Mountain, and Leshan Giant Buddha are famous nationwide.

You can visit Bashu as a guest, and we will definitely sweep the bed to welcome you.

In addition, if you have this honor, we are very happy to see you create a novel based on Sichuan’s famous mountains and rivers and Baosi Ancient Temples... Of course, this is my personal selfish little idea, please don’t blame me..."

After writing the letter, Liu Wanbao went directly to the Post and Telecommunications Bureau to invest in the letter and ordered 60 volumes of "Story Meeting".

The Shanghai alley is the same as the Beijing slums. Several people live in more than ten square meters. There are pots, pans, clothes rails and water and toilets are also used for public use.

Every household has a toilet, and the first thing to do every day is to pour the toilet.

The capital is very particular, and Shanghai is not inferior. Don’t look at this small toilet. If you have a lot of knowledge, poor families only have a wooden barrel and a lid, while rich families have copper hoops and gold paint, or even carved ones.

At that time, the custom of Jiangnan, there must be a red paint toilet when marrying a daughter. The third largest, medium and smallest one, called the descendant bucket, which shows its status.

In the afternoon, school time.

A little boy returned to the alley in a depressed mood.

"Son, who bullies me?" asked the mother who was cooking.

"No."

"Then why are you unhappy?"

“…”

The little boy pouted and shouted: "Everyone will take the Deadly Overlord Gun, but I don't know! People will play Arhat punch and hit bad people, but I don't know how to play!"

???

My mother was asking questions, but she didn't care.

??????55.???????????

After a while, my father came back. When he got the toilet paper, he was about to go to the bathroom. The little boy came over hesitantly and said, "Dad, can your unit order a "Story Club"?"

"What "Story Club"?"

"My classmate's father bought it, but it looks so good. They have seen it all. I finally borrowed it for a day."

As he said that, he took out a small magazine from his schoolbag.

"Our unit has standards for magazine subscriptions. Oh, I'll go to the bathroom first..."

My dad couldn't hold it anymore, so he took the magazine and rushed into the public toilet, but then he didn't come out.

After forty minutes, my father hunched over, rubbed his legs, and came out tremblingly, "Order, order for one year!"

…………

"Where is the editor-in-chief? Where is the editor-in-chief?"

"What's the matter in a panic?"

"There's a big deal!"

Not long after the September issue of "Story Club" was published, the comrade in charge of the distribution rushed around the small building. He finally caught the editor in the toilet, regardless of whether he was peeing, Barabala said:

"Is there any remaining September issue? Several newspapers and magazines at Shanghai Railway Station have been sold out, and the supply is in short supply and demand is in short supply!"

"Speak slowly, what's going on?"

"Even if it's sold out, there's also the passenger station! This issue of magazines is surprisingly good, and the newspapers and magazines are responding enthusiastically, and we all want them!"

"Editor-in-Chief! Editor-in-Chief!"

As he was talking, another guy ran in: "Hahaha! Suzhou, Wuxi, Hangzhou, Ningbo, are all out of stock!"

“How many are missing?”

"I have calculated it initially, at least 30,000 copies!"

Hiss!

The editor-in-chief shook all over and sneered six feet high.

Last year, "Story Club" was called "Revolutionary Story Club", with monthly sales of only tens of thousands of copies. It was changed at the beginning of this year and published popular novels. The results are bullish. Currently, the monthly sales can reach about 200,000 copies.

The order of 30,000 copies was added at once, an increase of nearly one-sixth.

"Where is the editor-in-chief??"

The third guy ran in and was also very happy. The peeing was so tortuous!

"Chengdu! There are all booked in Chengdu!"

"A cultural center directly ordered 60 copies, and some subscribed copies in some scattered copies, which together had more than 100 copies."

Book that!

The business has developed to Chengdu. The editor-in-chief lifted his pants, regardless of whether he had finished peeing, and waved his hand: "Have a meeting!"

Soon, the editorial department of "Story Club" gathered.

When the publisher mentioned the situation, the editors were upset, "Luoyang paper is expensive! Luoyang paper is expensive!"

"We only have one new novel "Kapok Robe", which is obviously causing the circulation to rise. Xiao He, that author will be responsible for you, and you must handle the relationship well."

"You can invite him to visit Shanghai and have some fun."

"Oh, this idea is good!"

"Comrades!"

The old editor-in-chief was the most calm and knocked on the table: "We just got out of the dilemma, and it's not easy. Now the momentum is promising. I think when the distribution exceeds 300,000, I can consider holding a writing conference or a story seminar. In short, some activities will bring the author closer to us and readers."

"Yeah, you must do the pen!"

"Only by holding a writing meeting can we mean we are a big magazine!"

Everyone was talking and dreaming of a bright future.

Archie alone drove sales, but no one said he wanted to increase his royalties.

The first manuscript fee is fixed this year. Magazine can entertain authors with delicious food and drinks, or invite authors to travel, but if the manuscript fee increases or even increases the share, it is absolutely free to talk about it!

For example, Zheng Yuanjie had a very small early manuscript fee, but he found that as long as there was an issue of the magazine published by his novel, it would be sold very well. He went to the magazine with confidence and asked for a increase in money.

The magazine said, how do you prove that your works are causing sales to rise?

Zheng Yuanjie said, it’s simple. If you ask me to contribute it alone, you will know if the circulation has anything to do with me.

Magazine: Are you sick?

Later, Zheng Yuanjie fulfilled her wish and founded "The King of Fairy Tales". She provided the articles alone. She was so tired every day, but she earned a lot. She bought ten houses in Beijing to prepare letters from readers.

One of the sets was secretly passed by a thief and sentenced to 12 years.

…………

The September issue of "Story Club" was unexpectedly and reasonably popular.

It was circulated rapidly in the south of the Yangtze River, and occasionally some people were out of other provinces. No one realized that "Kapok Robe" was the first martial arts/martial arts novel that appeared in the mainland after the revision.

These days, writers and authors have a very wide distinction. Writers must first join the Writers Association. The Writers Association organizes a group of critics to hold discussions for you to study how and what the meaning of your work is, and then publish it. Only after you have to go this way can you be called a writer.

Otherwise, you can only call the author.

Chen Qi is just an author or a popular novel author, which makes the mainstream look down upon, so naturally no one will study his works.

"Story Club" and "Kapok Robe" did not make any splash in the mainstream literary world, and the mainstream literary world did not bother paying attention to a small magazine unless they felt threatened.
