Siheyuan: Sister-in-law, don’t look back, I am my brother!

Chapter 313: Do you like traveling through time? Then have a full meal this time!

This time, the trip to Hong Kong,

Xu Yi didn't stay for too long.

And most of the time,
He was always accompanying the son that He Yushui had with her.

Even so,

He still took some time to inquire about the businesses under his name.

even though,
Now Xu Yi’s only business in Hong Kong is, on the surface, a newspaper.

It is worth mentioning that due to the successful serialization of A Step into the Past,

As a result, this restaurant, originally in Hong Kong,
A tabloid newspaper can only sell a few thousand copies a day at most.

During this one month period,
Sales volume is also rising like a rocket.
It directly reached an exaggerated level of 80,000 copies!
This sales volume is already at the level of mainstream newspapers in Hong Kong today.

Naturally.

The novel A Step into the Past also caused quite a stir in Hong Kong.

It even feels like paper is in great demand in Luoyang.

of course,

Where there are interests, there are disputes.

Especially this way of serializing novels in newspapers, A Step into the Past is not the first one.

Nowadays, The Legend of Qin is so popular.

Naturally, one can't help but compare it with several other novels that are popular in Hong Kong.

Then there were all kinds of mixed words,
Some even criticized the content of Yu Xun Qin's Memory as being too crude and vulgar, and for portraying women in such an unbearable way.

There is no consensus on such remarks.

"Boss, many people are attacking our serialized A Step into the Past,"

"Should we make some response?"

"Response,"

“Why respond?”

"It's a rare opportunity for someone to do free publicity for us, we can't thank them enough,"

"When the number of copies of A Step into the Past reaches 100,000, remember to give a red envelope to each of those who disparaged A Step into the Past in the newspapers."

"Just say thank you for their hard work in promoting us!"

Hearing this,

The editor-in-chief of the newspaper couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.
But I have to admire my boss's big heart.

If an ordinary person were to find out that someone was smearing his own newspaper and serialized works in such a widespread manner, he would be very disappointed.

I'm afraid I've already lost my mind.
Quickly find someone to clarify and fight back or something.

But did not expect,

Xu Yi was so calm and composed that he didn't take these things to heart at all.

of course,

What the editor-in-chief didn't know was the reason why Xu Yi was so calm.
The main reason is that as a person of later generations, I am naturally very clear about the potential of A Step into the Past.

Plus,
Some also use this fresh element of time travel as a selling point!

Although at the moment,

The person responsible for serializing A Step into the Past was not the original author.
Instead, it was a ghostwriter who wrote the script based on the outline he left behind.

but,

Not to mention that the level of this shooter is not bad.
What is written,

Xu Yi also took some time to watch a part of it.

Basically meets my requirements,

Especially for the protagonist Xiang Shaolong, interacting with all kinds of beauties in the plot,
Basically, they all used twelve times their strength.

That is, this era,
There aren't many restrictions on this.
Even if it is serialized in a newspaper,

But as long as it's not too extreme,

Even if the description process is real, it will not cause unnecessary trouble.

"but,"

"Since the time-travel element has finally become popular thanks to the book A Step into the Past."

"Should we publish a few other time-travel novels similar to A Step into the Past?"

Xu Yi also fell into deep thought. You know,
Don’t be fooled by the fact that A Step into the Past has been widely criticized in the Hong Kong literary world.

But the literati are creatures,
There is a saying that scholars look down on each other.

But jealousy is jealousy,
But at least these guys in the Hong Kong literary world are not stupid.

Long after The King of Qin became a hit, some people followed suit and started writing time-travel themes.

only,
Most of them are just copycats, imitating the content of A Step into the Qin Dynasty.

Today you travel through the Qin Dynasty, and tomorrow I will travel through the Tang Dynasty.

Anyway,

There are so many countries in history, and there are all kinds of beauties.

Such as Yang Guifei, Wang Zhaojun, Xi Shi, and Diao Chan.

Which one of them is not the stunning beauty that many men dream of?

have to say,

Although this method is somewhat unethical, the market and readers are quite receptive to it.

after all,

A Step into the Past can be regarded as the pioneer of the time-travel genre.

But the newspaper serialized,
Even the person in charge of the writing had his pen smoking.
For many readers, this is not enough.

In addition, these follow-up works, although uneven,
But the advantage is that the quantity is large and it is enough to fill you up.

It also allowed many people to make a small fortune.

And for this,
Xu Yi naturally also learned about the situation through the editor-in-chief of the newspaper.

but,

I want to sue these followers through legal means.
Obviously it is unrealistic.

The idea of ​​joining if you can't beat them also made Xu Yi make up his mind.

Do you like time travel?

Well!
-
In just two days,
Xu Yi was also at home accompanying He Yushui and the children while working on the outline of the novel.

Then, in one go, he wrote several time-travel novels that became quite popular in later generations.

"Go Princess Go", "Palace Lock Heart Jade", "Love Across Time and Space", "The Best Butler", "Back to Ming Dynasty as Prince",
After handing the outlines of these novels to the editor-in-chief of the newspaper,
Xu Yi naturally would not forget to remind the other party.

"These time-travel novels,"

"For the books written from a female perspective, find me some female authors who have better writing skills, especially those who are good at describing emotions."

"As for the top-grade servants, Hui Ming, and the Crown Princess, the same requirements apply as in A Step into the Past."

"but,"

“Several books of the same style don’t have to be put all in the newspaper at once.”

"How about this,"

"A Step into the Past is still the mainstay of our newspaper, and we will open a special sub-edition,"

“If that still doesn’t work, then just start a double publication.”

"Anyway,"

"The element of time travel hasn't been overwritten yet. Put these books on the market and make a lot of money!"

"Now it's being serialized in the newspaper,"

"When the word count is about the same, we will publish it as a single volume."

"After it's finished, I'll make a limited edition signed edition."

"You don't need to report the specific operations to me in such detail,"

"You are also an old employee of the newspaper, just take care of it yourself!"

have to say,

When Xu Yi bought the newspaper, he took a liking to the editor-in-chief at first sight.

even though,
The other party's ability level can only be considered average.
But I have been an editor for almost ten years.
He is quite familiar with this industry and has good connections in the industry.

At least for Xu Yi,

This is the boss who likes to give orders and always acts as a hands-off manager.

The editor-in-chief of the newspaper in front of me is also quite handy.

Even after the newspaper has expanded, there is no plan to replace the other party for the time being! (End of this chapter)
