Chapter 154: Preparing for the first issue
After realizing Duqi's ambition, everyone was different, and then they heard Duqi say, "Everyone, if you write novels of these categories that can be welcomed by everyone, then you will become the founder of the creation of fantasy novels, just like Mr. Cha and Mr. Gu Long."
Duqi did not continue to say that everyone knew the implications of the next one. Duqi created the Fantasy World Magazine, published the founding magazine, and created this platform for everyone. The leader called on everyone to create, and naturally he could be regarded as the leader of fantasy. If these people here can write well, they will become a generation of pioneers and will also gain a lot of fame. When they heard this, everyone was moved.
But everyone still needs to think about how to write the article. After all, there is not much reference. The ones you can refer to recently are actually "The Legend of the Swordsman of Shushan" and Ni Kuang's Wesley series.
At this time, Du Qi continued: "Of course, it is risky to write a fantasy novel to be accepted by the audience. Everyone has to rely on the royalties to support their families. If the manuscripts they have worked hard are not hired or are unpopular, their fame may be ruined and everyone has problems with their meals. So I have a suggestion, that is, I will write a detailed outline, including characters, background, storyline, and various fantasy settings. If you are interested, you can write the novel according to the outline. As long as it can pass the review, the novel is my work. I am willing to pay a thousand words of 350 Hong Kong dollars in pennant."
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Du Qi is looking for a gunman, but what Du Qi said is true. No one can guarantee that these fantasy novels are popular with readers. It would be better if Du Qi is willing to take risks and reveal themselves. Moreover, 350 Hong Kong dollars in a thousand words are definitely not a small amount. None of the writers who are here now receive a royal remuneration of more than 300 words, most of them receive a royal remuneration of about 200 yuan in a thousand words. The pension fee given by Du Qi can be said to have doubled.
There are several writers who are so moved by such a "favorable" thing. It is not a good thing to say about it after all, so no one is willing to express their feelings in front of everyone.
Du Qi also expected this, so he said: "Of course, I mainly hope to rely on everyone's own writing innovation. If your new works can pass the editorial review, I am willing to offer high-priced royalties. If you are willing to write, you can contact my assistant individually. My assistant's business card has been sent to you before."
In fact, in addition to the three books that Jin Yong had read before, Du Qi also prepared several outlines of novels, including "Zhu Xian", "Buddha is the Tao", "The Tomb Robbers' Chronicles", "The Ethereal Journey" and "The Change of Stars"
Strictly speaking, these are novels in the two categories of fairy tale and tomb robbers. The first reason for choosing this is naturally because these novels have a higher acceptance. The current cultural environment, space-time shuttle, interstellar mecha or magic novels in Hong Kong are uncertain. "Fantasy World" has just been established and requires more readers to accept it. The sudden change cannot be too big.
The second is that a magazine has limited space, with a total of eight long-form serials. It can be said that it has filled in half the content. Moreover, the price offered by Duqi is already very good for these writers who are just second- and third-tier.
Even first-class writers can get a royal fee of four or five hundred thousand words, which is just a very small number of fake patents. With the common royalties issued by Duqi, there will always be a few of them here trying to create their own works.
When "Fantasy World" gains a foothold and the magazine can make a profit, it can try to add themes such as mecha, magic, horror, etc. These similar types can produce a separate supplement. After all, the number of a magazine is limited, and it is easy to distinguish readers and target different readers' reading preferences.
Within the next four or five days, a suitable author gradually chose to write the pen. After going back to study, the first edition was already taken out in just one week. Because it was more important at the beginning, Du Qi also read it one by one, some took it back to modify it, and some went through the review directly.
However, the author of the independent creation has not appeared yet, and Du Qi is not in a hurry. It is much more difficult to write original works than to follow the outline, especially when there is no sufficient reference, it is not easy to conceive. Previously, these are enough to be used as a magazine, so Du Qi directly asked the magazine to start making sample publications.
Although "Kunlun" or "Zhu Xian" may be more in line with the reading habits of current mainstream readers, in order to promote the fame of "Fantasy", "Fantasy World" mainly promotes "Star Change" and "The Journey of Ethereal", the background is also the protagonist's battle with aliens in the universe, and the background is a galaxy.
The four words "Fantasy World" are written by Jin Yong himself and Wutian, who was published in the magazine. In Ming Pao, he personally wrote an article for "Fantasy World" in "Ming Pao", emphasizing that the purpose of this magazine is to challenge the limits of imagination, bring readers an interesting and endless reading experience, point out the current difficulties faced by martial arts novels, and after communicating with Du Qi, he knew that he was determined to revitalize the literary world and bring more and more exciting worlds to the public.
With the support of Jin Yong and Du Qi also started public relations, many Hong Kong literati and newspapers began to promote the magazine. In less than a week, a large number of people in Hong Kong knew about this magazine.
Of course, because it was a first-time magazine and didn't receive many advertisements, Duqi added some promotions to the newly film "The Royal Sister" of Shengshi Cinema and Oriental Film and Television. He had to wait until the sales volume was seen. If the sales volume was indeed excellent, advertisers would come to negotiate.
I have been so busy for almost a month, so I have to wait for the release of "Fantasy World" to see the results.
At this time, Duqi had some free time, just as the production of "Senior Sister Royal" was completed, Duqi arranged for Duqi to be released in Shengshi Theater. When contacting Jiahe and Princess Jin, the other party did not refuse, but agreed to give a very high schedule.
From this attitude, Du Qi understood that Zou Wenhuai and Lei Juekun had plans to surrender. However, since Du Qi talked with Zou Wenhuai last time, the other party has not taken the initiative to look for Du Qi, obviously waiting for Du Qi to offer a offer.
Chapter completed!
