When the media reported on a large scale, the scene was out of control. The masters who were originally "washing hands with golden basins" also showed their determination at this time, wanting to defend the status of martial arts novels while they could still write!

"Legend of Ancient and Modern Times" is the oldest martial arts magazine in China. It is released every half month and has published many classic martial arts works. Although the sales volume of each issue has dropped significantly, it still has two or three million copies.

This time, the mainland martial arts master Nie Yunlan even spoke out that he will serialize a new book in March of "Legend of Ancient and Modern Times". His novel "Yu Jiaolong" was once very popular, and the new book "Spring Snow Bottle" was also recreated based on Wang Dulu's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" during the Republic of China!

Works that are in the same source are not uncommon. In the promotion of "Legend of Ancient and Modern Times", this is a sequel mode similar to the Legend of the Condor Heroes - the Divine Condor Heroes. There are countless readers who like Nie Yunlan.

Of course, the key point that makes Nie Yunlan's new book attract more attention is another point. The movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has gained fame in the world, sweeping the Golden Globe Awards and Oscars, harvesting box offices around the world, and becoming synonymous with Chinese martial arts movies internationally.

The novel linked to this movie is extraordinary, and the sequel to "Jade Dragon" will inevitably cause a sensation.

"Legend of Ancient and Modern" originally had two or three million readers, plus Nie Yunlan's fans and the popularity brought by the movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", so this issue of the magazine was almost invincible!

Of course, the rest of the magazines are not waiting to die.

"Jianghu" is a rising star. It was founded in 2000. At the stage of overall decline in martial arts novels, it discovered many talented new writers because of its keen eyes. Fengge's "Kunlun" and Bu Feiyan's "Wulin Inn" both brought it rapid growth, and now each issue has sales of more than 1.5 million copies.

As a young magazine, it does not have much master-level connections, but it has a great influence among young people. The focus of this promotion is Feng Ge's new work "Canghai", which was even praised by the magazine as a martial arts masterpiece that surpasses "Kunlun" and was the peak of the post-Jin Yong era!

Although the sales of "Big Martial Arts" are usually lukewarm, this time he also invited Wang Qingchuan to fight.

Wang Qingchuan is as famous as Fengge, and there are even rumors in the world that Beiqingchuan and Nanfengge are titled. His works specialize in rare traditional historical martial arts, portray real characters, and construct good-looking stories. His style adheres to the majesty of Jin Yong, while taking into account the suspense settings of Gu Long and Wen Ruian, with awesome style and a unique style.

The work I brought this time is the new book "Geese Flying in the Fallen Moon" (also known as "Xia Song"). It is said that the issuance rights of the single-book were sold to Hong Kong before the serialization began. It is really exciting.

The one who is most willing to spend money is "Sword". I don't know how much manuscript they paid to invite Wen Rui'an over. This master who is famous in the entire Chinese circle is as famous as Jin Yong, Gu Long and Liang Yusheng. His most famous works are "Four Famous Captains" and "Shenzhou Weird Heroes" series.

Among them, the "Four Famous Catchers" series is simply an endless treasure, and there are always endless things to write. What he wants to serialize in "Sword" magazine is the fourth "Youthful Relentless" of the famous four famous generals!

Wen Rui'an once wrote "Youthless" but was renamed the "Youthless" Story". This time he published the "Youthless" Story.

Movies and TV series have been adapted in large numbers by the "Four Famous Captains" series, and Wuqing is very popular in it. This is a famous work by famous artists!

This is almost a complete martial arts feast, and even Huang Yi from Hong Kong is not willing to be lonely. The new book was unexpectedly published on Origin Chinese. "The Sun and the Moon in the Sky" is a sequel to "The Legend of the Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty". The little girl at the end of the volume, Mingkong, first as the treasure after 60 years, replaced Li Tang with Wu Zhou and became the first female empress in the ages!

This is a new work that Huang Yi has stopped writing for five years, not to mention that he describes the power struggle between the empress and the evil emperor. This legendary martial arts novel is very eye-catching.

The magazine market was in chaos throughout March, and martial arts novels and magazines were just a small aspect of the entire market. This caused the butterfly effect caused by Lin Han's release of new books, which added a sense of crisis to almost all types of sport, art, and advertising magazines.

With one move, all magazines have tried their best to avoid competition in March. If you accidentally become cannon fodder, it would be a disaster. Even magazines such as "Reader", "Yilin", "Youth Digest", "Just Words", "Novel Monthly", and "Farewell" have begun to improve the quality of magazine content, increase publicity, and passively participate in the war!

The first quarter of each year is the craziest time, and everyone is striving for the so-called good start. However, there has not been such a fierce competition in many years. This March will be full of blood. No one knows the answer to who will fall on the battlefield!

...

"This time our magazine seems to have made a big fuss."

Tan Lin felt that his head was big recently. When he first let the "Galaxy Wandering Guide" serialize in his magazine, he never thought that there would be so many strong opponents.

Lin Han was standing in the printing factory at this time. Although he had written so many novels, it was his first time to come to this place and he didn't know all aspects.

The work before printing has been completed. At this time, these machines are running at full load. With a loud bang, the printed books are coming off the assembly line, and then coated, cut and bound, etc.

"Relax, this is actually good for us. There are only so many audiences of martial arts novels. They can sell one or two million copies very well, but they all use big moves, which will directly cause internal friction. We don't have to do anything, just watch these magazines kill each other. Do you think our readers like to watch martial arts a lot?"

"Not many, the overlap rate is quite low. We are basically the younger generation. Readers over thirty years old are almost all aimed at your science fiction novels. We will not lack those few dollars in a clear way."

"That's right. As long as we do our own things, the rest of the magazines will not be the opponent."

Lin Hanyangyangyang had the statistics table in his hand. He knew that Tan Lin was just a little nervous. The market was in chaos and there was no way to see anything.

Li Wenyuan walked around the printing factory and asked, "What are the number of printings we print now?"

"We have evenly distributed fixed-point printing factories across the country. Each printing factory is responsible for the printing of magazines in several surrounding provinces. We now cooperate with 5 printing factories and print 500,000 copies for the first time. If you need to print, you need to contact the manufacturer in time. We hope for the March issue, so we will print 600,000 copies for the first time and the subscription of less than 200,000 copies. This is elastic. If the sales are not good, the printing will be cancelled."

"It sounds pretty good. I just thought that they were all in a printing factory and then sent to all parts of the country by express delivery!" Lin Han couldn't help laughing. This is what laymen don't understand.

Tan Lin shrugged and said, "If that were the case, the freight cost would have exceeded the sky."

"If the competition is fierce, shouldn't we reduce the number of printings? What if the sales situation is not ideal?" Li Wenyuan said worriedly. He felt that his magazine had little chance of winning in this melee, and if he was cheated, he would waste a lot of money on it.

Although Lin Han is full of confidence, he has no ability to predict after all. How will "Fantasy Age" perform in March? It depends on the performance of the market. Now, everything can be done, and everything is just waiting for the arrival of March!

...

When he returned to the city from the printing factory, Lin Han obtained a performance sheet for different magazine distribution markets last year, which is equivalent to a transcript of the final exam, which is directly related to his fate this year.

This professional statistical data opened Lin Han's eyes wide. It turned out that literary novel magazines were nothing in the overall magazine distribution market, but were just ranked third in the category.

The most popular magazines are education/parenting magazines, with sales accounting for as high as 18%; followed by fashion/entertainment gossip/clothing, which accounts for 16%; then literature and art, which only 13%; the rest are business/financial, current affairs and military information, automobile life encyclopedia, travel photography and digital, architecture, geography and gardens, movies, animation, films, science and technology exhibitions, Internet, medical food and hotels, etc.

Overall, the sales of parenting magazines have repeatedly hit new highs, and the sales of the highest-ranking "Children Pictorial", "Baby Pictorial", "Mommy Baby", "Mommy Baby", "My Must Read" and other products are all above 3 million copies, and the upward trend is very obvious.

Among them, "Children Pictorial" is far ahead in the national average sales ranking, with sales reaching a maximum of 6 million copies last year, which is really amazing!

Among fashion and entertainment magazines, high-end women's fashion magazines have a very high sales volume, while men's fashion magazines have a stable market. "Rui Li Clothing Beauty" leads sales volumes in "Harabazaar", "Men's Clothing", "elle" and "vogue", which are basically linked to the cover stars and interviews of each issue.

Among the literary and artistic magazines that Lin Han is most concerned about, young users occupy the main market, but overall sales are showing a downward trend. Although the abstract magazine "Reader" still ranks first among all magazines in sales, its sales volume has actually dropped by more than 5% year-on-year, and the championship throne is becoming increasingly unstable.

Among these magazines, the sales volume of "Fantasy Age" of hundreds of thousands of copies cannot be on the list. Even "Science Fiction World" has to check the sales rankings separately to find out that the entire science fiction magazine seems to be invisible.

"Why are these magazines selling well, and even have sales champions, but they can only rank third in the entire category?" Lin Han was full of questions. He had never paid attention to similar news before.

Tan Lin answered while driving: "Our overall number of magazines is relatively small, and the remaining types of magazines are large, and many ants are bitten to death."

"Our goal this year is to hit millions of copies. If we don't seek stability, we can exceed million sales every month, but we just want to reach this number in the highest month. This sounds difficult, but at least we have a direction to move forward."

"Maybe this goal is not impossible." Tan Lin became interested. He explained to Lin Han and Li Wenyuan: "This is your new book around the world. If your fans don't buy magazines, they may have to wait several months before they can see a single book. Previously, each book sold more than a few million copies. If one-third or even one-fifth of your readers can't help but get impulsive, our magazines can exceed one million."

"Sounds great, Lin Han, you are responsible for heavy responsibilities!"

"I think this analysis is quite reliable. Many people must be curious and hope to achieve that achievement." Lin Han didn't know if things would continue like this, but hope that there will be some.

...

As time goes by, domestic printing factory owners smiled excitedly. If only there was a big battle with this every month, at least their own factories would not have to worry about the source of goods!

Almost all printing factories in various places are running high-speed printing. Trucks of brand new magazines are shipped out from the printing factory, and then radiate to surrounding provinces, cities and regions, and are uniformly purchased and shipped under the arrangement of dealers.

February is the shortest time of year, with only 28 days. This time passed quickly, and the discussions online and in reality reached its peak. The Eight Immortals showed their magical powers across the sea, and each magazine used all its ways to attract purchases.

The first thing that triggered the Internet was the "Huashan Sword Contest" conference held by several major martial arts novels. The weather was still extremely cold, but several magazines joined forces to convene martial arts writers to gather on the top of Huashan.

Later, the youth magazine "Fire" also announced the joining of a number of romance novels, such as youth pain literature.

Of course, Chen Jiaxuan's studio did not sit idly by. Nature magazine released a preview on the Internet in the form of a weekly magazine, which facilitates readers to pre-order and understand the general level.

The English version of Nature magazine released globally is a hand holding a big numb. This is the latest research result, "The impact of big numb on the nervous system", which is a very good research report.

Although "The Wandering Guide to the Galaxy" did not win the cover, it also successfully appeared in the content introduction below the cover. Anyone who sees the cover of "Nature" magazine will see that line of words, "Lin Han's new work "The Wandering Guide to the Galaxy""!

Even among the official rankings of the top ten highlights in this issue, Lin Han occupies two important positions.

His new book ranks first, and the highlight is second. This is the dilemma of young scientists. What are the hybrid computing based on neural networks? The genome evolution of Xenopus laevis, and the gravitational instability of the Samsung system ranks fifth!

The so-called "Samsung System" is the three-body problem. This study from John-to-N is directly said to be a discovery that it was obtained from Lin Han's novel "Three-body" and then observed the original star Samsung system l1448i3b!

This discovery also proves the hypothesis involved in "The Three-Body Problem"!

Don’t worry about the name of the magazine. I deliberately wrote the legends of the past and the present as ancient and modern, but the order of Chinese characters does not affect reading~
Chapter completed!
