My exes were all superstars

Chapter 307 Who Said "Holding Grandson" Can't Save Sales?
November 11st is the day when major magazines publish new issues.

Best-selling magazines such as "Reader's Home", "Smallest Story", "Starlight Talk", "Strange Talk", and "Favorite Short Stories" usually publish two editions a month, after all, they are all best-selling.

In particular, "Reader's House" has surpassed the questions in the high school entrance examination and college entrance examination in the past few years. It is just like this, "Reader's House" is quite famous among students.

Even junior high school and high school teachers basically recommend everyone to read "Reader's Home".

Think about it, when parents hear this, they will naturally want to buy "Reader's Home".

Therefore, among these magazines, "Reader's Home" has the highest sales volume.

In addition to that is "Favorite Short Stories".

For example, "Minimal Story" is famous for its "storytelling", "Starlight Talk" is mainly an entertainment-oriented magazine, basically it writes about whoever is popular, and interviews whoever is popular.

Why is the sales volume of "Starlight Miscellaneous" so high?
Because this magazine is all about harvesting fans, but fans are the best group to harvest. Therefore, the sales of "Starlight Talk" are naturally quite good.

"Strange Talk" is a film about ghosts. Although it is a small audience, there are many hardcore ones.

Other than that, there is "Favorite Short Stories". "Favorite Short Stories" is relatively complicated, but each one is quite classic. Among them, several big names in the short story world, such as 'Cicada', 'Grasshopper' ', 'Beiyan' and others regularly contribute to "Favorite Short Stories".

Not only that, "Favorite Short Stories" will invite some new generations to join from time to time. For example, this time, the cover of the magazine advertised "Plain Light".

Ping Guang, still a sophomore student, is currently studying at Imperial Normal School. He belongs to the young generation. He has won awards for several short stories he wrote before, so this time, Ping Guang is soliciting essays from the "Favorite Short Stories" magazine. also participated.

He wrote "Eldest Grandson".

'Favorite Short Stories' publishers feel that this manuscript is a well-deserved No.1, and they even think this manuscript is the best short story this year.

So this time when the issue of "Favorite Short Stories" was released, Ping Guang was given the cover naturally.

Hiramitsu's new work "Eldest Grandson" reveals the illusion of patriarchy. '

It can be explained that Huanghuang's cover is all about the promotion of the short story "The Grandson".

At 8 o'clock, all the major magazines had finished their distribution. At the same time, Mi Nan, who was about to go to work, came to the newspaper kiosk downstairs to buy a few magazines.

"Favorite Short Stories" is Mi Nan's must-buy every issue.

When she was a student, she liked to read "Reader's House". From junior high school, high school to sophomore year, Mi Nan liked "Reader's House". At that time, she thought it was really well written.

It's all chicken soup for the soul.

But after going to college and starting a work-study program in her sophomore year, Mi Nan felt that "Reader's Home" was getting more and more chicken soup.

What you fail is just you not trying hard enough.

Why I am successful is because of how much I have suffered.

When you encounter something that doesn't go your way, you just need to have a good attitude.

In short, Mi Nan believed in chicken soup for the soul before, but as she grew up, especially after graduating from university, Mi Nan couldn't stand it anymore.

No wonder the market for "Reader's Home" has always been students. Indeed, apart from simple students who are easy to fool, who would believe in this chicken soup for the soul after being beaten by the society?

So, these years, Mi Nan has basically stopped reading "Reader's House" long ago. She basically reads "Favorite Short Stories", and then "The Minimal Story", "Starlight Miscellaneous Talk", and "Strange Talk". up.

These 4 volumes are released twice a month.

Phase 1 on the 15st and Phase [-] on the [-]th.

"Still take these 4 books, I..."

Originally, Mi Nan was going to take these 4 copies directly according to the old rules, but she saw "Feng Yang Magazine", especially the promotion of "Holding Grandchildren" on the cover.

interesting.

One is "Eldest Grandson" and the other is "Holding Grandson".

Moreover, five magazines like "Reader's Home", "Favorite Short Stories", "Minimal Stories", "Starlight Miscellaneous Talks" and "Science Tan" are priced at 5 yuan, but "Fengyang Magazine" is priced at 8 yuan.

Not only that, because the sales volume was not satisfactory after all, "Feng Yang Magazine" only published one issue on the 1st of a month.

In this way, Mi Nan bought 5 magazines in one go, and after returning to work, he was ready to read "Favorite Short Stories" first.

"Eldest Grandson" is indeed a patriarchal story, mainly telling the story of the eldest grandson of the old Li family, expressing the sorrow of a patriarchal family from the perspective of the eldest grandson.

But how?

A little too hypocritical.

Obviously, as the eldest grandson, he has received all kinds of benefits, but he just said that this is unfair.

Isn't this the bitch's archway?

Originally, Mi Nan thought that there would be some irony, and even some reversal.

No result.

Basically, there is no reversal in this article, which makes Mi Nan quite uncomfortable.

The writing is good.

It is not bad to tell such a patriarchal story in less than 4000 words.

But not good enough.

Immediately afterwards, because she thought that the names of "Eldest Grandson" and "Holding Grandson" were relatively similar, Mi Nan did not read other articles in this magazine after reading "Eldest Grandson" as usual. On the contrary, she directly took Started "Feng Yang Magazine" and turned to "Bao Sun".

'Second in the world? ? '

Looking at such a pseudonym, Mi Nan thought it was quite funny.

Her first reaction was that it might have been written by a young man, after all, only people in the second year of middle school could have such a pseudonym.

Originally, Mi Nan had no hope.

But when she started watching "Holding the Grandchildren", she was a little taken aback.

Then the more you look at it, the more surprised you are.

This is definitely not written by young people.

It's so ironic.

The style of writing is too old-fashioned.

And irony all the time.

From the beginning to the end, from Mrs. Wang wanting to hug her grandson, to Mrs. Wang wanting to avenge her grandson.

[Old Mrs. Wang only cried for a while; when she finished crying, her old eyes widened: "It was taken out! Can the one that was taken out survive? Go to court with the hospital! Such a heavy grandson will only live for one day, how could he live?" It's all about the hospital's fault, dude!"

Mrs. Wang made an appointment with her mother-in-law and went to the hospital to make trouble.The natal mother also wanted to get her daughter out quickly, the hospital is unreliable!

I got my daughter-in-law out; how can I file a lawsuit if I don't?Not long after it was delivered, the daughter-in-law's stomach cracked, and the "postpartum rejuvenation ointment" didn't help, and she died without saying a word.Well, the two cases were merged into one, and Mrs. Wang sued the hospital.My old life is over, I have to avenge my grandson and daughter-in-law! 】

……

Even in the end, it is still full of irony.

Sad ending.

Mrs. Wang's grandson died, and she killed her. If her grandson stayed in the hospital honestly, then there must be nothing wrong. As a result, Mrs. Wang forced her grandson out for the sake of "cleaning" three'.

To explain here, washing three is an old custom.On the third day after the baby is born, a bathing ceremony is held to gather relatives and friends to wish the baby good luck.

The purpose of "washing three" is to wash the dirt and eliminate disasters and avoid difficulties; the second is to pray for good fortune and good luck.

Think about it, Mrs. Wang can be said to be a person with head and face, so she must let her grandson "wash three".

So she killed her grandson in this way, not only her grandson, but also her daughter-in-law.

But Mrs. Wang didn't think it was her fault.

Not only Mrs. Wang did not think she was wrong, but her in-laws also did not think she was wrong.

whose fault? ?

The hospital's fault.

This scene is all too familiar.

Didn’t there be such a situation a while ago, the mother should have been hospitalized, but the family forced the mother to be taken out, and when the mother had an accident, they came to blackmail the hospital.

This less than 6000-word plot is simply reversal, reversal, reversal, irony, irony, and irony.

At the same time, human nature has reached an extreme.

Patriarchy is one aspect.

Medical trouble is one aspect.

In addition, this kind of feudal thinking is even more powerful.

Therefore, compared to "Eldest Grandson", this "Holding the Grandson" is really quite good.

Thinking of this, Mi Nan directly recommended in the group: "Go and buy a copy of "Feng Yang Magazine". I think the writing of "Holding Grandchildren" is really amazing."

Cui Sheng, who was preparing to participate in an event outside, was taken aback by the news in the group: ""Feng Yang Magazine"?"

The youngest grandpa: "I remember this "Feng Yang Magazine" is going out of business."

Xiaohe Guoma: "It seems that there is an essay contest recently, but it's useless, because this essay contest also established Dingsheng Culture."

A rabbit watching the drama: "By the way, I remembered, because the popularity of "Everything Is Good" is too high, so this "Feng Yang Magazine" launched a call for essays, mainly referring to the "patriarchal" theme……"

……

Everyone in the group chatted.

There is no separation of entertainment.

Therefore, although these few people are concerned about the affairs of the entertainment circle, they are also concerned about the affairs of the cultural circle.

Cui Sheng went directly to a small newsstand, and said, "Give me a copy of "Feng Yang Magazine."

The owner of the newsstand frowned and said, "Not anymore."

"there is none left??"

Cui Sheng was also a little surprised.

"That's right, usually this "Feng Yang Magazine" can't be sold, but I bought 10 copies of this issue, and it turned out that they were all sold out just now."

The newsstand owner was even more surprised.

He knew that "Feng Yang Magazine" was not bought by many people, sometimes 10 copies could not be sold in a month, and maybe even two copies a month would be good.

This time, the staff of "Feng Yang Magazine" said that this issue would definitely sell well, so he decided to buy 10 copies.

Never expected.

In less than 2 hours, all 10 copies were sold out.

So just now, the boss of the newsstand has already called to purchase.

In fact, he wasn't the only one, the bosses of other newsstands also made phone calls one after another.

Only the shop in the imperial capital was sold out.

Some newsstands may ask for a little, but some bookstores are planning to ask for hundreds of copies, because they found that it seemed to pop up like a bamboo shoot.

Some people will buy a copy of "Feng Yang Magazine" when they come to buy "Favorite Short Stories".

You must know that the sales volume of each issue of "Favorite Short Stories" is about 30, but the sales volume of "Feng Yang Magazine" is not even 3.

This time "Feng Yang Magazine" wanted to gamble, so they printed 10 copies.

In their view, the 10 volumes might all be backlogged.

Even the boss of the magazine already has an opinion.

Originally, the magazine was already struggling to make ends meet, but now it doesn't know how to be thrifty.

10 volumes.

You regard "Feng Yang Magazine" as a best-selling magazine, right?

Can a piece of "Holding Grandchildren" drive sales? ?

how is this possible? ? ?

boss office.

Liu Fengyang looked at the editor-in-chief Li Shang and said: "Old Liu, you are too radical this time. I know you want to save our magazine, but you can't take such a risk if you want to save it."

The editor-in-chief also sighed and said, "Yes, Lao Liu, if I had known in advance, I would never have agreed. 10 is too big."

Li Shang was also a little silent.

He was speechless.

Say what?

Said that his brain had a twitch, and then he thought about blogging? ?

At this time, Xiao Hai, who was in charge of answering calls from readers, suddenly came in, and she said excitedly: "In just two hours, more than 2 readers called to tell us about the writing of "Holding Grandchildren"." It’s great, and there are 30 people who say they can’t buy magazines.”

"kindness??"

The three people in the office were slightly taken aback at this moment.

Immediately afterwards, Xiaofei, who was in charge of the delivery of the phone, came in. She also said excitedly: "Mr. Liu, all the remaining 8 copies of our books have been ordered."

"What did you say???"

Liu Fengyang jumped up violently: "The remaining 8 copies have all been ordered??"

"That's right, all of them have been booked. Not only that, there are still many people who want to continue booking, so you have to contact the printing factory quickly, and you have to print it."

Xiao Fei said.

Five minutes later, when Liu Fengyang personally called several bookstores with good cooperation, he finally confirmed it.

The right time, the right place, and the harmony of people are all in place.

Because of the similarities between "Eldest Grandson" and "Holding the Grandson", many people bought a copy of "Fengyang Magazine" when they bought "Favorite Short Stories", and because "Holding the Grandson" is too exciting, so more People began to promote this short story again.

In just half a day, "Holding Grandchildren" in "Feng Yang Magazine" became popular, and more people began to want to continue buying it.

And today is Friday, everyone is a businessman, and tomorrow is the day off, they have to buy.

Therefore, the phone number of "Feng Yang Magazine" was immediately rang.

Just now Liu Fengyang and the editor-in-chief also said that an article of "Holding Grandchildren" cannot save sales.

But now the facts are in front of us.

A piece of "Holding Grandchildren" can really save sales.

"This time, maybe we can really get in the top five."

Liu Fengyang said excitedly.

Li Shang also said excitedly: "Mr. Liu, you are too small."
