Chapter 29: The first appearance
There are thousands of magazines in China, and large-scale journals include readers' abstracts, soulmates, young literary and artistic, knowledgeable guests, and story forests.
First-class magazines have legends from ancient times and present, folk stories, Jiangmen literature and art, and their meanings are the world.
These magazines have outstanding sales. Among them, there are some types of magazines, such as supernatural magazines, history magazines, martial arts magazines, light novel magazines, traditional literature magazines, photography magazines, National Geographic magazines, history magazines, travel magazines, train magazines, airplane magazines... etc.
Because the sales volume of these types of magazines generally does not reach the top level, these magazines are also called niche magazines.
However, niches have the benefits of niches. Although the sales volume is not high, readers are very hard-working. Often, friends who like this type of magazines have been subscribed for decades. Therefore, such magazines that seem to be not very popular on the market can survive. Even, like the big brother of the supernatural magazine, Suspense World, has been doing well. Over the past ten years, not only has the magazines become more and more distinctive, but also has made many well-known supernatural authors famous.
At this time, another issue of supernatural magazines began to be sold to various parts of China.
Because most magazines are either monthly, semi-monthly or weekly. Therefore, the release time of their latest magazines is often the same. It is Monday, and various weekly magazines are placed in the newspaper booths of major domestic middle schools.
That’s right, whether it is a mass magazine or a niche magazine, students, especially middle school students, are the main force of magazine users.
Give me a reader.
I want to take one of the people who want to, and I want to get one.
Boss, is the story here?
During the lunch break, students surrounded the small newspaper booth in groups of three or three, scrambling for the magazine they like.
Of course, among them, readers' abstracts, young literary, literary, and storyline are always the most popular. However, in addition to these magazines, supernatural magazines are also very popular on campus. Magazines like this are not only boys who like to have children, but even girls who like to read them.
So, another student bought Suspense World, Thriller No. 1, Chat in the middle of the night, etc.
Xiaojiang Middle School.
At this time, most of the students who bought magazines returned to the classroom and prepared to finish reading the magazines they bought in one go.
"Xie Yanping, why did you buy it again in the middle of the night? I heard that this magazine is about to go bankrupt."
Zhou Wen, a classmate, held the reader's digest in his hand and said helplessly to Xie Yanping, "You said, if you don't read the good reader's digest, what kind of supernatural magazines do you read? Most of these magazines are written in horrible ways and have no literary value. Besides, if you read such magazines during class or during evening self-study, and are found by the teacher, they will definitely be confiscated. However, readers like me, even if they are found by the teacher during evening self-study, they will not say anything."
It seemed that he did not persuade Xie Yanping, and Zhou Wen said again, "Oh, Xie Yanping, why don't you agree to what you said? Even if you want to read a supernatural magazine, you still have to read the suspense world. Look, Zhu Songbin has been buying the suspense world. According to him, it seems that next month the supernatural master Zhang Yun will serialize a horror novel in the suspense world. I see when you should buy the suspense world. Don't watch this kind of talk in the middle of the night that no one can read it."
After saying so much, Xie Yanping, who was reading books, raised his head, "I have read it for a few years and I'm used to it."
"Okay, whatever you want. However, I still recommend you change it. After I read the readers, I will show it to you. I believe that if you read my readers, you will be attracted by the philosophy of life. And after reading these philosophy of life, you will also succeed like them."
Zhou Wen is a hardcore reader's Digest, and he is a must-buy almost every issue. There is a very important sub-column in Reader's Digest, which is life philosophy. The sub-column of Life Philosophy, like his name, talks about life, and has a very powerful brainwashing effect. Or it is not brainwashing, but these philosophies are still relatively positive. Therefore, after reading Reader's Digest, many people become out of control and are addicted to the philosophical world of Reader's Digest.
Although Zhou Wen has nothing to do with Reader Digest, as a hardcore Reader Digest, he also wants more people to read Reader Digest from time to time, just like him.
"Okay, if I finish reading the talk in the middle of the night, I will also look at your readers' digest."
Is it okay for Xie Yanping to not come to this? It’s not that he hasn’t read Reader’s Digest, but he doesn’t like Reader’s Digest very much. Even rather than not, it’s better to say he hates it. Yes, what Xie Yanping hates the most is the life philosophy in Reader’s Digest. The girl’s life philosophy is where she talks about big principles every day. Who doesn’t understand these big principles? However, hundreds of millions of people in China have read Reader’s Digest, but how many people have succeeded in reading these life philosophy?
Therefore, he believes that Reader's Digest is actually a very bad magazine. Instead of being brainwashed by the great principles in Reader's Digest, it is better to read the supernatural novels he likes. At least, there is no big principles in supernatural novels and no preaching. He is just a story. And Xie Yanping just likes stories.
However, Xie Yanping thought so, but he didn't say it, and once again buried his head in the middle of the night talk.
Speaking of the talk in the middle of the night, Xie Yanping couldn't help but sigh softly.
In fact, how could he not know that the midnight talk in the past ten years since the publication was opened is almost impossible to handle. Just like the supernatural stories in the magazine, although dozens of supernatural stories were published in the weekly magazine, none of them could attract him. Even if it was a novel written by the supernatural master "March" who was recommended in the middle of the night, Xie Yanping read it as ordinary.
However, despite this, Xie Yanping continued to watch as usual.
This is a kind of sentiment.
Even if the story above is written in the middle of the night is getting more and more painful, and there is no way to read it.
The last article.
After quickly reading all the previous supernatural novels, Xie Yanping was increasingly disappointed.
Originally, he still had some expectations in the 300th issue, thinking that some heavy novels would be released in the 300th issue. This was also an advertisement at the end of the 299th issue in the 39th issue, but Xie Yanping's expectations turned into disappointment.
This is not the first time I've been disappointed.
Perhaps, I should really listen to Zhou Wen’s suggestions and look at the suspense world instead.
As the number one magazine of the supernatural type, Xie Yanping originally wanted to order it very early. However, the suspense world had a fight with the midnight talks, but the result was that Xie Yanping supported the midnight talks and won. In the end, Xie Yanping became a hardcore in the midnight talks, and he never touched the suspense world. However, ten years in Hedong and ten years in Hexi. The midnight talks that could compete with the suspense world were no longer the opponent of the suspense world until now.
Forget it, it’s useless to think about it. This is a competition among magazines.
After reading the last article, I will go to the suspense world later.
Talk in the middle of the night, my old friend, I hope you don’t blame me.
Stories from a Chinese Studio.
The last story I talked about in the middle of the night was called Liaozhai. Xie Yanping was not particularly clear about what Liaozhai meant.
However, although it is not clear, when Xie Yanping saw the two words "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio", he felt that there was some indescribable charm.
Some of this is like reading Tang poetry and Song lyrics, which is very touching.
Stories from a Chinese Studio, Stories from a Chinese Studio.
Chewing these two words in the corner of his mouth, Xie Yanping smiled.
No matter how well this article is written in Liaozhai, he really likes the two words "Strange Stories" very much.
Putting down the words "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" for the time being, Xie Yanping continued to read.
The story of "Bites of Ghosts in a Chinese Studio" is very short, with only about 1,000 words.
Soon, Xie Yanping finished reading this supernatural story.
This supernatural story tells a story about a ghost that is overwhelming. It’s nothing strange, and it’s not scary at all. Xie Yanping even feels that this ghost story is written too cliché. It’s an era now. What a supernatural novel wants is horror, suspense, and thriller... In addition to the charm of the name of this Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio, the whole article is too dull and has no ** at all.
However, just when Xie Yanping was about to close the talk in the middle of the night, he felt a little reluctant and hopeful.
Chapter completed!
