Chapter 827: Last Name Zhang
No matter what, the popularity of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is unquestionable.
Although the novel has only been serialized in the first episode, the evaluation has not yet exploded in all aspects, and everyone's focus is still on who is the protagonist, but the son of the tiger and the leopard, although not yet written, has already had the spirit of eating cattle, which can be seen from the sharp increase in the sales of "Jianghu" magazine!
According to the results of a third-party survey...
Shuimu Culture's "Jianghu" magazine is already the fifth best-selling magazine in the country!
All this is caused by the serialization of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". Before "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was serialized, the sales of "Jianghu" magazine had been hovering in the top 25, and the best performance in history was only the tenth in the country. It was the serialization of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" that pushed "Jianghu" magazine to the fifth place in the country!
It happened that the General Administration of Press and Publication selected the five major magazines in Dragon Country.
They are "Guide", "Urban Beauty", "Love Rain", "New Monthly" and "Jianghu".
The most influential one is "Guide", which was founded in the 1980s in Longguo. This digest magazine rooted in the inland has been at the top of Longguo's magazine industry for nearly ten years. The magazine contains a large number of foreign fine literature and essays by domestic cultural masters. Of course, it also collects a large number of rational comments reflecting the reality of Chinese society and culture, and has a very fixed readership!
"Urban Beauty" is a magazine for women, and it is obvious that women's purchasing power is not low.
As for "Love Rain", this is a long-established men's magazine in Longguo. There is no shortage of content that touches the edge, but it has always avoided that sensitive line. It is a soft-natured erotic magazine that everyone in Longguo knows. The sales are also good. In the past, Liu Qin almost became the cover girl of "Love Rain" magazine, but Liu Qin was reluctant at the time and finally refused.
In addition, "New Monthly" is also quite legendary.
The predecessor of this magazine was a small gossip newspaper. After getting a venture capital fifteen years ago, it began to transform into the magazine industry. After fifteen years of development, it has become one of the best celebrity magazines in Longguo. They can always get exclusive interviews with superstars and publish them in the magazine to improve the status of the stars. In addition, they also focus on current affairs comments and often invite experts to analyze current affairs. Their vision is very accurate, so they will enter the ranks of the top five magazines every year.
Among the top five magazines, the only rising star is Shuimu Culture's "Jianghu" magazine.
As the most successful novel magazine in Longguo, "Jianghu" began to rise after the transformation. In the past, the sales of this magazine, although it was smooth sailing among martial arts magazines, were not so dazzling in the whole country. It was not until the magazine won the serialization rights of "The Detective Collection of Sherlock Holmes" that "Jianghu" began its rise. Now with the appearance of "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber", the strength of "Jianghu" magazine has been further improved...
The success of the magazine is inseparable from Xiang Tao.
Because the rise of Jianghu is not entirely due to Sherlock Holmes.
In addition to Sherlock Holmes, Xiang Tao is also in charge of several other serialized martial arts novels. It is Xiang Tao's vision and strict selection that have made the sales of Jianghu magazine soar. Of course, it is worth mentioning that almost all the writers for Jianghu are famous martial arts writers. It is difficult to find new talents, and old martial arts writers are the most reliable choice.
Xiang Tao's style of doing things has always been very stable.
It is also for the development of Jianghu that Xiang Tao pestered Luoyang to serialize his new martial arts book in the magazine.
Although Luoyang was often urged by Xiang Tao to submit manuscripts, he never showed impatience because Xiang Tao did everything for the company, and now Jianghu has become the second best-selling magazine in the country, which is the best proof.
The more direct impact is...
Shuimu Culture's ranking in the publishing industry has improved.
Previously, Shuimu Culture ranked 16th. Now, Jianghu magazine is developing better and better, and even jumped to the fifth place in the country. Naturally, it will drive the hard power of Shuimu Culture to rise continuously, not to mention the success of the TV series The Legend of the Condor Heroes and The Return of the Condor Heroes, which has provided a strength bonus to the company's soft power.
Shuimu Culture is now ranked 14th in the industry!
And the 15th is Shuimu Culture's mortal enemy, Youlong Culture.
Speaking of which, Youlong Culture's development is not bad. The number and quality of their middle-level authors are far better than Shuimu Culture, but they lack the masterpieces that can determine the outcome. The really important contracted authors have not made a move, and because too much energy is put on the half-dead Youlong magazine, the momentum of development has temporarily stopped, and it is now surpassed by Shuimu Culture.
Yin Bole was very angry about this.
The conflict between Shuimu Culture and Youlong Culture is well known. It is undoubtedly a very embarrassing thing to be surpassed by the other party in the industry ranking. However, they can't think of a suitable way to deal with it for a while, so they can only continue to speed up plans in certain aspects...
One thing can't be pulled, and the whole body will be affected.
In addition to Youlong Culture, the top ten publishing companies in the industry are also beginning to get nervous.
Every industry faces various competitions every day. Now Shuimu Culture's momentum of development has undoubtedly made them feel threatened. More and more big-name writers are beginning to pay attention to Shuimu Culture, which is not a good sign for them.
"In the final analysis, Luoyang is still too scary."
"It's just a new martial arts serial, but it's so influential."
"It's a little bit of accumulation. If it weren't for the unprecedented success of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", it wouldn't be possible to increase the magazine's sales by a new level with the opening of a new book. The bonus of the title of "The Condor Heroes Trilogy" can be It’s not lip service.”
"One or two issues of serialization can't explain anything. The influence of phenomenal writers is not endless. If the quality of "The Legend of Heaven and Dragon Sword" itself is not enough, then the influence of national writers like Luoyang will gradually decline. This is the law of the market. , no one can disobey, but the possibility of Yitian’s poor performance is very small.”
The onlookers in the industry were discussing something that had nothing to do with them.
It was during this discussion that the August issue of "Jiang Hu" was published!
To the surprise of countless fans and readers, this issue of "Yitian Sword of the Dragon" actually contains two chapters, the second chapter [Pine and cypress growth on the top of Wudang Mountain], and the third chapter [A hundred refinements of the sword generate mysterious light]. The character who is really suspected of being the protagonist of Yitian Zhang Cuishan appears...
Well, the protagonist’s real surname is Zhang.
