Chapter 2 Contribution
One week later.
Xiangjiang Island, New World Apartment.
Li Yangshu chose to rent an apartment here. The house is not big, about 50 square meters. But the community environment is excellent, the view is broad, the decoration is exquisite, and the small space gives people a warm feeling.
After drinking a cup of jasmine tea at a suitable temperature, Li Yangshu picked up his backpack, locked the door and left.
In the parallel world of his previous life, Li Yangshu loved jasmine tea the most. As a native of Beijing, he has long been addicted to the taste of jasmine tea. The first thing he did when he got up every morning was... pee.
Then.......boil water and make tea.
Even after working abroad, this habit has not changed.
"Master, go to Oriental Newspaper Industry."
The taxi driver was also a talkative Hong Konger, and he flirted with Li Yangshu randomly along the way, saying that Mr. Xie lost 800,000 Hong Kong dollars in Haojiang the day before yesterday, and that Chen Long was in love again.
........
Oriental Press Center, No. 23 Tai Cheong Street, Tai Po Industrial Estate, Heung Kong.
Yes, Li Yangshu is here to submit a novel.
Since his rebirth, he has found that the memories of his previous life are so clear in his mind that he cannot forget them unless he deliberately forgets them.
This also led Li Yangshu to decide to first establish himself in Xiangjiang with novels.
Compared with the many Hong Kong entertainment novels I have read in my previous life, "The Story of Qin" at the beginning shocked the Hong Kong novel world, so Li Yangshu chose the novel "The Story of the Nine Tripods".
They are all recorded, it just depends on which one flies higher.
Existence is reasonable. Compared with the two books, Li Yangshu himself prefers Jiudingji.
I especially remember the monthly ticket war between "Jiudingji" and "Yang Shen" at that time. Fans of both sides fought with swords and swords, fighting to the death.
Li Yangshu was also one of them, but he liked both books, so he hesitated and hesitated, and finally voted for Tang San's "Douluo Dalu" with his few monthly votes.
A reporter interviewed Ni Kuang, one of the four great talents in Hong Kong, and asked him how many words he could write in an hour when he was creating. He said that when he was in good condition, he could write 4,500 words in an hour.
As for Li Yangshu's speed, he has also calculated it, reaching a terrifying 5,000 words per hour. Four months after his rebirth, the 2 million-word "Jiuding Ji" has been written. The planned second book "Yang Shen" has also been written Wrote 1 million words.
This is not just full-power writing. If you write for 10 hours a day, it will be 5 million words in 100 days.
At this time, the main Chinese newspapers in Hong Kong include: Ming Pao, Oriental Daily, Hong Kong Commercial Daily, Toutiao Daily, Hong Kong Wen Wei Po, Hong Kong Economic Daily, Sing Tao Daily, Sing Pao, New Paper, The Sun, etc.
Why did Li Yangshu choose Oriental Daily?
Oriental Daily is a comprehensive daily newspaper in Hong Kong, China.
First published on January 22, 1969.
Founded by Ma Xizhen and others of Oriental News Group.
In its early days, the newspaper had more than 10 staff members and published only one folio, but its sales were not good.
In early 1970, we hired famous writers to write dog stories, and sales increased. The number of newspapers increased to 1 and a half. A year and a half later, more than 80,000 copies were sold. In the autumn of 1972, the content of the supplement was purified, and the number exceeded 110,000. The sales continued to expand the following year, with daily sales exceeding 300,000.
copies. Become the "No. 1 sales" Hong Kong newspaper.
The newspaper targets ordinary citizens as its main readers. One of its features is that it publishes a large number of Hong Kong social news to attract readers. It is fast and has a wide coverage. There are 100 reporters covering Hong Kong news. Secondly, the supplement page publishes a large number of Hong Kong news.
Articles by famous figures in the literary and art circles; third, the articles are short, have many columns, are easy to understand, and are suitable for the tastes of readers of different ages.
It has been the leading newspaper in Hong Kong for 31 consecutive years, with a single-day sales of more than 530,000 copies and a readership of more than 3.4 million, far ahead of other newspapers.
After talking so much nonsense, in summary, it is awesome and has high sales.
Another point is that his current boss is very urinary, and if you don’t agree with him, you will come.
If there are scandalous photos of a certain star, and the star spends 300,000 to beg him not to expose them, OK, take the money and the exposure will continue.
What can you do to me? Just bite me.
King Liu was still banned by his boss for 4 years and was not given any exposure. Faced with the crazy pleas from countless fans, he still refused to give up. He is just so pissed.
Therefore, Li Yangshu did not choose any other newspaper and went straight to the east.
As for other novels, after the protagonist was rejected by other major newspapers, he found some small newspapers with a daily sales volume of 35,000 copies. After a month, the daily sales volume increased to 100,000 copies, and then slapped the big newspapers in the face. That is not true at all.
Let’s be realistic.
Who do you think you are?
Master Jin?
Are you that famous?
Blowing water, I despise you.
Open your small mouth and spit out Head and Shoulders all over your face.
It doesn’t matter which mouth you have, as long as it can spit out Head and Shoulders.
Maybe the novel is indeed good, but doesn’t it take time for word-of-mouth fermentation?
A month? Maybe a year is about the same.
With hundreds of millions of readers at some point, good novels still need time to become popular.
In 1985, Hong Kong had a population of only 5.5 million, but it was so easy to sell a newspaper with a daily sales of 100,000?
Make a newspaper? I guess you can’t do it if you’re funny.
What?
You said you are really good at being funny?
Make one and let me see it.
This is a huge country with over a billion people. Even if you are really funny, come on, compare yourself to Mr. Xing.
Do you really think that it is so easy to have one actor a year and Zhou Xingchi for a hundred years?
This comment does not target any novel author, please do not take it personally.
"I'll submit the article."
Li Yangshu has been a reporter for more than ten years and understands the psychology of people who work in newspapers very well. He didn't even say hello and said straight to the point to the front desk.
"Oh, yeah, the submission room is in front of the house that turns left."
The girl at the front desk lowered her head and was concentrating on Ni Kuang's science fiction novel serialized by her old enemy Ming Pao, and didn't notice anyone arriving at all.
After hearing the words, I looked up and saw that it was a handsome... black guy, and then I let out a pleasant surprise.
In fact, Li Yangshu also knew what was going on with his little sister, and he was already used to it.
For his own Audi, for his wife’s Dior, and for his children’s Oreos, Li Yangshu decided to sell... Handsome.
Forget it, those were my thoughts in my previous life, let’s just sell literary talents in this life.
"Come in"
"Who can I contact to submit my article?"
"What type?"
"Novel."
At this time, a man with a beard, who was defecating in the latrine with his face facing out, took the words, "Give it to me, I'll take a look first.".
The clock has almost gone by one hour.
"How can I put it this way? It's okay. The writing is a bit poor, but the story is good and can be published. It's 20 Hong Kong dollars for 1,000 words. If you're willing, just leave and sign the contract. I'll wait for the serialization of "XXXXX" to be published in about a month."
p>
Hearing this, Li Yangshu became anxious, not because he had little money, but because he wanted time. One month would delay the progress of many money-making plans.
Originally he didn't bother to use this method, but the arrow was on the string and he had to shoot.
"I would like to meet your boss Ma Chengkun. Can you make an introduction?"
After hearing this, everyone in the room laughed, with an expression like "I think you are so whimsical that a toad wants to eat swan meat."
Especially the man who was defecating in the latrine with his face facing outward said: "Young man, think about it after you become a member of the House of Representatives."
Li Yangshu ignored the silly ridicule of the group and directly took out the photo and copy and handed it to him.
"What do you think? Can I meet your boss if I'm not a member of parliament?"
The man took the photo and copy and started shaking unconsciously as he walked.
