Bailuyuan, I am Bai Xiaowen

Chapter 168
"Okay, well said."

"it is good."

The people below all cheered.

The storyteller Lao Zhou knew that this demi-god was very promising.

"Lao Zhou, is this the end?"

"If you want to know what happened next time, we'll break it down."

The effect is good.

Lao Zhou is currently thinking about how to get the contents of the first seven chapters.

Ming Pao.

There are not many sold in Changan at present.

since the publication of the novel.

More and more people are buying.

After searching through many channels, I could only find some chapters one after another.

Each issue basically sold thousands of copies.

If you want to look for it, you will find it sooner or later.

Willing to spend more money to buy it.

In this way, people will sell again.

After getting the previous newspaper, I went into seclusion to practice, and I wanted to memorize all the contents of these six chapters and understand them thoroughly.

I took a quick look at it first and said, "It's well written. This is the first time I've seen such a martial arts novel. This is a great writer."

Contents of six chapters.

This will take a lot of effort.

After all, it is a hundred thousand words of content.

But their storytellers can use their own language.

So it will be slightly easier to memorize.

If you really can’t remember it, you can make a cheat sheet.

A storyteller like him must remember them all.

Go to the teahouse to tell stories every other day.

I spent the whole day memorizing the contents of the novel.

I even worked overtime for a while at night.

Don't go to bed too late either.

Need to keep your spirits up.

Speaking on stage requires a relatively good state.

By the second day.

After breakfast, Lao Zhou went to the teahouse.

The owner of the teahouse greeted him: "Old Zhou, look, these people are all here to flatter you."

Everyone who had listened to the storyteller the day before yesterday came here early today to wait for the storyteller Lao Zhou.

"The shopkeeper's peace of mind will naturally satisfy the guests."

He prepared all day yesterday and couldn't go wrong.

No matter what you do, something like this requires a lot of preparation.

Speeches on stage require preparation.

Unless you are someone with high talent, you may not need to prepare.

People are different, and some people may just have super talents.

For those with high talent, a few minutes of preparation and study time is more efficient than a few hours for ordinary people.

No matter how much time you spend studying, some things may just require talent. Those without talent will be mediocre no matter how hard they work, but those who can make a living in this field only need a little preparation.

Storytellers belong to this category.

If you don't have talent, you can't do it.

Old Zhou Zhou patted the gavel and started talking.

"The green light flashed, and a green steel sword suddenly thrust out, pointing at the middle-aged man's left shoulder. The young man didn't wait for the sword to be used. His wrist shook and the sword tilted, and the sword edge was already cutting towards the man's right neck."

"it is good!"

The speech was very vivid.

These moves are explained in great detail.

A picture can even be formed in the minds of these listeners, a picture of rivers and lakes, with swords and swords flashing.This is difficult to achieve in other novels.

This is also a strength of Master Jin’s martial arts novels.

The moves and techniques inside are all the best.

Old Zhou stopped.

Take a sip of tea.

I talked for almost a full hour or two.

It's about dry mouth.

It is difficult to memorize so much content and remember it word for word.

But through your own words, if you can make some changes, it will be much easier.

He has read the novel and does not need to change it.

There is no need to change the original words, and the storytelling effect can be very good.

Therefore, we try to follow the original text as much as possible.

"Lao Zhou, that's it."

Some coins and a few dimes and cents were thrown in.

There are quite a lot of rewards.

"It's over. Let's do this. I'll come back tomorrow to talk about it."

I was originally going to take a day off, but looking at the current situation.

Just keep talking for a few days.

Stopped temporarily today.

Too much, it will have a great impact on the throat.

The most important thing for them is their throat and tongue, which is what they eat.

The manager here in Chang'an.

“What is the current circulation situation of magazines and newspapers?”

"The magazine has just exceeded [-] copies, [-] copies are in Chang'an, and half of them are outside. The circulation of newspapers has steadily increased. The [-] copies printed were quickly gone, and another [-] copies were printed."

The time to do it is relatively short, and it is already very good to be able to achieve this level.

Newspapers and magazines are still what Bai Xiaowen is concerned about.

The manager brought the latest magazines and newspapers to Bai Xiaowen to read.

Bai Xiaowen took the newspaper.

Bai Xiaowen had the vision of future generations and immediately pointed out several problems, "There is nothing special about this background. It is purely used to set off and fit a certain theme.

The text is relatively simple. There is a title in the second part. Except for the font size, there is nothing obvious unless you look closely.

There are too many words, and the reading order is the most conventional top, bottom, left, and right, which looks uncomfortable and not rich.This layout needs improvement. "

Bai Xiaowen asked several questions in succession.

I immediately took a pen and started drawing.

After a little painting, it seemed a little time consuming.

Directly entered the space and used the ability of space.

After I finished writing, I took it out.

"Look at this effect, is it any better? There is still a lot of text, but the layout is divided into sections. Although it is the content of one article, there are different sections in different units.

The font size and dividing lines are also obvious.

Meaningless decorations appear. "

The manager nodded repeatedly.

He looked at the effect.

It's indeed much better.

It was clear that Xiaowen just made some simple modifications, but it had such a good effect, which surprised him.

Instantly, I felt that people like me were not as good as Bai Xiaowen.

Mainly because there are many things that are common problems in current newspapers.

Everyone is used to doing this.

Bai Xiaowen wanted to correct this habit for him.

Bai Xiaowen continued to talk about some important things: "The picture is no longer blocked in the frame. It can become an independent element and can be placed in any position. This is very important, especially in typesetting. It is often necessary to move characters and objects from The background of the image is separated to highlight the characters/objects and make it more visually impactful.

The title design should be distinctive and consistent with the style of the article. It can be used horizontally or vertically.

Add small graphics to beautify the title.

There should be obvious contrast, for example, horizontal images should appear at the same time as tilted images. "

The boss manager took out his notebook and jotted it down quickly.

He works for newspapers and magazines.

I know that what Bai Xiaowen said are very practical things.

I wrote it all down word for word.

“It will look clearer if the pictures and text are separated.

Be good at making tables and listing short text information.

Use squares or circles flexibly.

When there are many pictures and the priority is not clear, there are many ways to arrange them, and scattering is one of them.

If the pictures are classified into primary and secondary, they should be expressed in order, size, etc. "

"Yes, boss, I have written it all down. We will make improvements from this issue on."

Bai Xiaowen: "As for the rest, you make your own decision. Are there many people submitting articles recently?"

"Many, there are people submitting articles to magazines and newspapers. We receive dozens of letters every day."

After talking about what happened here, he left.

Prepare what Bai Xiaowen said into a pamphlet and let people in the magazine and newspaper departments take a good look at it.

It will be very helpful for those currently working in newspapers and magazines.

The magazine covers a wide range of topics, including medical and health, agricultural science, industrial technology, philosophy, politics and law, social science, economics and finance, science, education, literature and art, and basic science.

It is very tolerant and anyone who submits a manuscript will accept it as long as the article is of good quality.

Take the brochure to the printing shop.

"Fifty copies of this booklet will be printed."

It’s only fifty copies, so it’s very fast.

In less than an hour, the things were taken out.

The boss manager sent fifty copies to the editors of newspapers and magazines.

"Take a good look. These are the requirements and suggestions given to us by the boss."

Knowing that it was written by Bai Xiaowen, everyone looked at it carefully.

They all admire Bai Xiaowen very much.

"These are very well written. They are common problems in magazines and newspapers, and they really hit the nail on the head. You can follow this direction and make some changes."

"I agree. The contents above are all good advice and are very helpful to the editing work."

One by one, they started to study and ponder.

"Everyone, the boss has high expectations for us, and you must make achievements. The methods are backward, the intensity is not enough, the scope is not wide, and there are problems with the content and format. These are what we have to do, change. How to go Change, let’s take a look and come up with a charter.”

"The content and manuscript selection must be attractive. Don't forget about common sense that everyone knows. Pay more attention to the title."

"Compose and revise the manuscript. I am in a hurry to submit the manuscript. There are problems with the quality of the manuscript, and the elements are incomplete and unclear. I have to put some thought into revising the manuscript; cut out the complex and simplify the manuscript. When typesetting, of course, I must make it clear what everyone likes to see."

"Well said, these suggestions are all very good."

After all, there are many people, and many people put forward their own opinions on what Bai Xiaowen wrote.

The first step is difficult.

The most difficult thing for Chinese people is the first step.

But as long as you take the first step, it will be much easier after that.

"Journalism is miscellany, and a good journalist must be a miscellaneous person. It is a habit to read more books and not be afraid of knowing more about anything than others. Let's see if you can provide some more books, preferably We can also read related foreign books when we have some free time."

"no problem."

Preparing books is not a problem.

Nothing to spend.

And the funding for their department is quite large.

At present, few people are greedy for money.

Bai Xiaowen's strict rules are still there.

Plus treatment.

Basically, the treatment is adequate.

With good treatment, there will be far fewer people who dare to take risks.

“Another thing is that our Zishui Newspaper published a relatively small number of copies in the past, especially when we first started publishing novels, it was less than [-] copies.

I have received a lot of letters saying that they want to read the previous content. I guess they are all here for Demi-Gods and Dragons.Let's see if we can print some more copies and sell them as a set. I think I can sell a few thousand copies. "

"It's okay. Let's talk to the printing department and get it done properly."

These are small things.

As long as it's good for magazines and newspapers, go for it.

The pressure on the manager is still quite high.

I think this will bring magazines and newspapers to the forefront.

At least it is more than the declared number of issuances of Chang'an Daily.

There is still a long way to go.

"It would be more attractive if the newspaper didn't open a section dedicated to anecdotes."

"No, this is a trail after all."

A lot of suggestions and opinions were given in succession.

There are also many people who are opposed to it.

There are also minutes of meetings.

"Having said so much, let's record the contents of the meeting. When the time comes, we will seek common ground and leave minor differences."

Newspapers and magazines have a huge future.

Very big.

The public opinion for the next hundred years will be newspapers and magazines.

Only with the advent of the Internet did fewer people read newspapers.

But for now, newspapers are the best way to control public opinion.

"Bai Lu is a very famous novelist in Chang'an. Manager, you can actually contact Bai Lu. I heard that he has been writing for many years."

Only the manager knew that Bai Lu was Bai Xiaowen's pen name.

But the people at Chang'an Daily knew better.

Everyone was still a little nervous: "Bailu actually submitted an article to Zishui Newspaper. He is considered a big opponent of ours."

There are only a few newspapers in Chang'an.

If one company's business is good, the other company's business will be worse.

Zishui Newspaper has not been running a newspaper for too long, only a few years, but its development momentum is very good, with the support of Bai Xiaowen's funds and the vision of future generations.

"Bailu is from Zishui County."

The manager of Chang'an Daily knew Bai Xiaowen's identity. After all, they had cooperated with him several times, as far back as ten years ago. He was very impressed by Bai Xiaowen.

“How’s our novel layout?”

"There is, but it's definitely not as good as what Bai Lu wrote."

Chang'an Daily regards Zishui Daily as a big rival.

After all, both newspapers are in Chang'an, so they are close enough.

There is competition among newspapers.

Every year, many new magazines and newspapers are launched, and many of them close down every year.

Without high-quality content and high-quality and fast news, the circulation volume will not keep up and it will go bankrupt.

"In the past few issues of Zishui Daily, a bombshell news was published, attacking Captain Wang from Chang'an. However, none of them were affected by this matter."

That Mr. Wang will be shot soon.

During this period, many people came to beg for mercy, but Bai Xiaowen didn't give them any face.The day of execution finally arrived.

There were many people watching, so they had to be executed. Notices and newspapers were posted to prevent anyone from above coming to plead for mercy.

Bai Xiaowen is not afraid of offending anyone.

There are 3000 people in Zishui County and space capabilities, so no one can cause trouble.

As soon as the bullet went down, everyone around him applauded and knew that this old man Wang was not a good person.

Many people know the identity of Old Man Wang.

Such things are relatively rare. After all, they all help each other more, and they will never be offended no matter what.
