Being a director starts with fighting domestic violence

Chapter 187: Spotted by Hong Kong Newspapers

However, Long Yuan learned from Long Chi that none of these national treasures appeared on the market in later generations, let alone being returned to the country.

Unable to leave the ancient tomb, Long Yuan taught all his skills to Long Wushuang in order to fulfill his grandmother's last wish and asked her to help him retrieve the national treasures.

The first family that Long Wushuang wanted to find was the Hai family, which kept the most important national treasure, the Linglong Jade Pagoda.

Long Wushuang got on the train and encountered a gang of tomb robbers pretending to be a tour group.

From their few words, it can be inferred that these people are related to the Hai family.

So she pretended to be a colleague and talked to them.

Afterwards, Long Wushuang became friends with the tomb-robbing gang and successfully infiltrated them.

Long Wushuang led them to find an ancient tomb, and joined forces with the police to successfully capture all these people.

Afterwards, Long Wushuang used these people's identities to get in touch with the Hai family.

This is the end of the first story.

Currently, the sales volume of each issue of "Novel Literature Magazine" is basically stable between 2.8 million and 3 million, and is still growing.

To a large extent, it depends on the popularity of "Fantasy Dragon Universe".

Gu Donghua learned from sales outlets in Guangdong Province that "Fantasy Dragon Universe" was even popular in Hong Kong.

However, because "Novel Literature Magazine" was not published there, many people reprinted and pirated "Fantasy Dragon Universe" and sold it there.

This situation was reported to Li Zhu, and both of them were so angry that they laughed.

Proud and angry.

Apart from some very famous writers, it is rare that popular mainland novels are sought after over there.

In the past, they would reprint and pirate other people's martial arts novels, romance novels, fantasy novels, etc.

Now it's the other way around.

Before they could take any action, a newspaper in Hong Kong contacted them.

The Hong Kong Chinese Newspaper was once one of the most widely circulated newspapers in Hong Kong.

However, in recent years, there are more and more newspapers and magazines published in Hong Kong. The "Hong Kong Chinese News", which has a serious and literary style, has been gradually squeezed out of the top 20 under the impact of various eye-catching horse racing news, entertainment newspapers, pornographic comic novels, etc.

Editor Zhou from the newspaper called and wanted to talk to them about serializing "Fantasy Dragon Universe" in the "Hong Kong Chinese Newspaper".

This is really a strange story. They have never met anyone who actively asked to serialize their novels.

Gu Donghua checked with editor Zhou and found out that the Hong Kong Chinese Newspaper was planning to revise its design and seek new development.

Editor Zhou's husband accidentally saw the first 200,000 words of "Fantasy Dragon Universe" reprinted in traditional Chinese characters at a newsstand on the street.

Editor Zhou's husband bought a copy to kill time on the subway, but he was immediately attracted by the story.

He took the novel home, where it was seen by Editor Zhou.

Editor Zhou also thinks that this fantasy novel about traveling through time and space is very novel.

In terms of popular novels in Hong Kong, various martial arts novels, romance novels and science fiction novels are very popular at this time, but this kind of novel that travels through time and space, combines feng shui metaphysics, ancient tomb exploration, and the search for national treasures has not yet been available on the market.

Editor Zhou felt like she had discovered a new world, and quickly asked her husband where the novel came from.

After some investigation, she found out that the novel was actually a reprint from the mainland.

Moreover, the publication serialized in the mainland has a very large circulation and is very popular, even becoming popular in Hong Kong.

Editor Zhou discussed with the editor-in-chief and contacted Novel Literature Magazine.

After Li Zhu and Gu Donghua understood the situation, they told Gao You about it.

Gao You never thought that his work would be noticed by a newspaper in Hong Kong and be serialized there.

Now that everything has been reprinted over there, you must earn the money yourself.

Gao You found Lawyer Qin, and the two of them inquired about the industry practices there and the laws and regulations in the mainland.

After I had a clear idea, I started discussing cooperation with Editor Zhou.

Nowadays, the royalties for serialized novels by well-known writers in Hong Kong range from 200 to 1,000 yuan per thousand words.

Editor Zhou has a keen professional sense.

The writing style of "Fantasy Dragon Universe" is not top-notch, but the style is very novel and unique, the perspective is trendy and foresighted, and the conception of the future world is even more fantastic, which makes people yearn for it. This alone makes people addicted to it.

In the novel, twenty or thirty years from now, everyone can own a mobile phone that is a hundred times more powerful than today's mobile phones for less than a month's salary.

With just a few taps on your mobile phone, you can shop online and have the goods delivered to your door within three days.

You can pay by scanning with your mobile phone, which is more convenient than swiping a card.

This kind of fantastic idea is in the near future, a future that their generation can see.

Of course, Editor Zhou still finds some of the content a bit magical, such as the level of modernization and prosperity that the mainland will reach 20 or 30 years later.

Editor Zhou came to Hong Kong with his family thirty years ago.

At that time, she was only seven or eight years old. In her impression, the mainland was so poor and backward that it was difficult to even get meat.

She really couldn't imagine that in another twenty or thirty years, the mainland would develop to be more prosperous and modern than Hong Kong.

However, Editor Zhou is still optimistic about the popularity of this novel here, so the remuneration he offered is very sincere, 500 yuan per thousand words.

This remuneration is not low, nor is it the highest, but in Hong Kong, it is already an ideal price.

Editor Zhou didn't say anything definite, but said that if the subsequent response is good, the price will be raised again.

Of course, if the response is average, she will stop serializing.

Gao You also agreed to the price.

Editor Zhou then talked about publishing his first novel.

Because the mainland is already discussing publishing, she hopes that Hong Kong can also release it simultaneously with the mainland.

The Hong Kong Chinese Newspaper plans to serialize 20,000 words every day, and the first volume will be released after one month of serialization.

This way it just catches up with the popularity.

Otherwise, if it is released in mainland China first, pirated copies might be everywhere by then.

After Gao You communicated with the publishing house in the mainland, he also agreed.

If it can be released simultaneously in Hong Kong, that would naturally be a good thing for her.

Now her wallet is empty and her plans to make a film have been postponed for the time being.

Moreover, she is also pushing forward the publication of the "Guide", which is self-published, and she has to set aside this money.

However, her master Pan Yufeng did not give her any free time and asked her to participate in the preparatory work for the "Wujiang Charity Foundation".

On the weekend, Gao You came to Pan Yufeng's home in Beijing, a real courtyard house.

This time, Pan Yufeng mainly introduced her old friends to Gao You.

"This is Mr. Sun, this is Professor Zhou, this is Director Fu, and this is Boss Zhang." Pan Yufeng introduced her friends to Gao You one by one.
