Chapter 588 New Weekly Issue

In fact, there is nothing important, just ask Su Chen to investigate the readership of "New Weekly".

Because this is the first issue, Xue Yu attaches great importance to it, and wants to know how the response is.

Although it is fine to arrange people in the unit to do this kind of thing, but because Xue Yu's mood changed after she became pregnant, she wanted to instruct Su Chen.

Regarding this, Su Chen naturally did not dare to have any objections. Following her instructions, he went out with his camera.

Zhao Dongmei, who went to Cangzhou, didn't come back, and even Zhao Cheng didn't come back. I don't know if the two of them arrived in Cangzhou safely, let alone how their affairs are.

Xue Fang seemed to really quit her job, and she didn't know what was going on in her head.

I accompany Teresa Teng to CCTV rehearsals all day long, or go out to visit this huge Forty-Nine City together.

Jia Cunwang arranged for two female staff to follow, but it is said that there are still people secretly protecting Teresa Teng, and it is not known whether it is true or not.

With Xue Fang's help, Xue Yu can go to work in the unit.

It's just that when I see someone walking around all day, I feel angry.

Su Chen drove out, walked around for a while, found a parking spot, parked the car, and then came to the newsstand where publications were sold.

"New Weekly" is mainly distributed in the capital, and other places are distributed through post offices and publishing houses.

And the circulation in Beijing is set at 10-15.

Of course, Xue Yu and Su Chen didn't expect this publication to become an instant hit and become a phenomenal hit.

Why do you say that?

Because some of these publications flowed into the system, only one-third remained outside for sale, half of the other third was reserved for the post office, and the other half went to the publishing house.

As a result, some units received an inexplicable order a few days ago.

""New Weekly" is about to be released, and the superiors said it is good, let us order some every month to read."

"What? "New Weekly"? I've never heard of it."

"Since it was arranged by the superiors, let's order some to read it. Anyway, don't we also order periodicals every month?"

"Okay, then let's see what content this "New Weekly" that can be nominated by the superior will publish."

When the publication was in hand, a group of people immediately gathered around.

The cover looks pretty good, and the words "New Weekly" seem to be everyone's handwriting.

Of course, Su Chen asked Mr. Zhu to ask the question.

Originally, I thought about finding a big leader, but the thought flashed by, and he rejected it.

Many people in the unit praised: "The cover looks good, but the word looks very grand."

"The typesetting is also good, not as dull as other publications."

"Let's see what this specifically says first."

For the content of "New Weekly", apart from the front-line staff and some chicken soup, there are no behind-the-scenes stories of the crew of "Dream of Red Mansions" and "Journey to the West".

Because they are shooting under pressure now, if these things are produced, the creative team will probably shut themselves down.

We can only wait until it is broadcast, and then cooperate with CCTV to promote it.

After reading it, everyone felt that there was no big problem, but it seemed to be different from other publications.

"How is it? Let's talk about your views." Someone said.

"I think these stories are well written. My wife is a doctor. Sometimes I really can't celebrate Chinese New Year at home on New Year's Eve. After all, no one wants to get sick on New Year's Eve, so I can only be considerate."

"It gives me the feeling that it is full of pictures and texts. There are not only these people who we usually don't pay attention to, but also those little stories that happen around us."

"It turns out that some families of martyrs have such a difficult life."

"It feels really good. Anyway, it depends on which one you order, so let's take a look first."

"..."

Su Chen just stayed in the newsstand, chatting with the newspaper seller every now and then.

"Master, how are the sales of "New Weekly" these two days?"

The uncle looked at him vigilantly: "Which unit are you from? Seeing that you are still wearing a camera, you must be a reporter from a newspaper?"

"Actually, I am a staff member of "New Weekly". The main purpose is to see how our publication is doing. If you have any opinions, we must listen to them in time."

Su Chen said with a smile: "We can't be separated from the masses, and we can't be separated from our readership. Only by listening to everyone's aspirations can we come up with more and better stories."

"That's good." The uncle nodded, and continued: "Because it's a new release, the response from the big guys is not bad. The main reason is that these stories are all taken from things around us, giving people the feeling of simplicity, and then... "

He thought for a long time, but couldn't think of any words.

Su Chen tentatively asked: "Dear air?"

"Yes, that's the word, down-to-earth." The uncle nodded again and again: "Because these are things we often encounter, for example, the neighbors in the neighborhood are doctors, or family members of soldiers, and we can see it. Closer, we feel a little fictional, unreal."

This is the positioning of "New Weekly". If it makes something too lofty, it will be an anti-dog instead of a tiger.

And there is no need to be so tall.

The most important thing is to open up the market among the masses.

Let the public feel that this publication is authoritative.

Although the publication has been conceived for several years, it is only now being launched.

While talking, two young women came to the front of the newsstand.

"Master, do you still have "New Weekly" here? We want to buy a copy."

"Yes." The uncle took out a copy.

The price of "New Weekly" is one yuan a copy, while "Reader's Digest" was only 1981 pages when it was first published in 48, and it was a bimonthly magazine, and the newsprint was printed in black and white.

Seriously, "New Weekly" is purely losing money to make money, because no matter what aspect it chooses, it is better than "Reader's Digest".

But at the current price, you have to sell it for five or ten yuan, which is unrealistic.

However, Boss Su is not short of money. Although he is affiliated with the "Jingcheng Daily", it is Boss Su who pays for it. Except for the wages of those workers who are paid by the "Jingcheng Daily", Boss Su pays for the rest.

Seeing the magazine that the uncle took out, the two young women took it over, opened it and looked at it twice: "The content is well done."

"And the illustrations and typography are also very good, and you can smell a scent of ink."

"Then let's buy it."

One of the girls took out the money, bought the periodical, turned around and was about to leave.

Su Chen hurriedly stopped them.

The two girls looked vigilant for a moment: "Comrade, what do you want?"

"It's like this. I'm a staff member of "New Weekly." Su Chen explained: "So I want to conduct a street survey."

"Street survey? This term is new." One of the girls asked, "Then what do you want to ask?"
