Make a Fortune and Become Well-off [90] - Chapter 48
After the third issue was proofread and typeset, it was quickly sent for printing. Due to the popularity of the first two issues, their first printing this time was 300,000 more words than the previous two issues.
The sample magazine for Ning Meng was also sent to her according to the new address she left.
Then they waited for the market’s reaction.
Ning Meng’s work was in line with the current trend of martial arts novels. Generally, the methods of revenge, falling off a cliff, martial arts secrets, and the legendary grandfather teaching martial arts were different. She was a female lead who traveled through time, and it also slowly portrayed the city and court in the Song Dynasty through the perspective of the female lead.
Just like the picture scroll in “Along the River During the Qingming Festival”, it was opened to the readers bit by bit. The writing style was delicate and at the same time, it also had the excitement of martial arts novels, making readers feel very immersed in it.
At that time, Xun Qin Ji (A Step into the Past) had not yet come out, and love through time travel had not been introduced to the mainland. The market for time travel novels was completely blank.
It could be said that the novel “My Years as Catcher in the Song Dynasty” completely benefited from the blank market. Coupled with the huge readership accumulated by the Wuxia magazine for a long time and the popularity of Justice Bao, it became popular, causing a rapid increase in sales.
After the popularity of Wuxia magazine in the 1980s and their current decline, the number of calls they got had once again been overwhelming among readers.
While wiping his sweat, Li Ang said to his only old friend, “It’s a shame they still remember our reader hotline.”
No matter how long he kept answering, there were still so many phone calls.
Even after the first two issues, the popularity of that issue still exceeded the expectations of editors Li Ang and Bao. Even though they had experienced the glory of monthly sales of more than three million, the Wuxia market was going to be dominated by them.
“The Nanshi branch called and asked for 150,000 copies.”
Another editor also came to Li Ang’s office and said, “The Shanghai branch wants 200,000 copies.”
“The first printing has already reached 800,000 copies. Isn’t that enough?” Editor Bao asked. She was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to sell them by then and they would all be piled up in the warehouse.
After all, Li Ang was the one who single-handedly created and built the glory of martial arts. He immediately said decisively, “Call the printing factory and print an additional 500,000 copies for this issue and another 100,000 copies for the first two issues.”
Several editors took a deep breath.
In fact, their previous total monthly prints had dropped to 500,000 copies.
“Add it.”
With the large-scale distribution of the latest issue of martial arts magazines, the sales heat of Shanghai Branch and Nanshi Branch was also radiating to the surrounding areas.
Wucheng, where Jiang Ning was located, was within the radiation range of Nanshi and Shanghai. However, they had already started military training at this time. Since she couldn’t leave the school, she couldn’t feel the popularity of Wuxia magazine at all.
The management of No. 1 High School was really too strict.
The school was completely closed for everyone except for the localite students every day. Even when buying breakfast, the students stood at the iron gate as if they were in jail, handing money to sellers of pancakes, rice balls, glutinous rice, and steamed buns. They shouted loudly what they wanted to stall owners, then gave money and got food through the iron gate.
She couldn’t even leave the school, let alone buy a magazine.
Moreover, the girls in No. 1 High School were all good students. From the first day Jiang Ning came to the dormitory of No. 1 High School, the first thing all the girls in the dormitory did when they came to the new environment was not to get to know each other, but to study.
When the military training instructors came to dormitory 610, the eight girls in the room were all sitting or lying on their beds, reading, or calculating something with pens.
Looking at the room, which had a completely different atmosphere from other dormitories, the two instructors didn’t know how to break the strong learning atmosphere.
The chief instructor and the female instructor looked at each other, and it was the female instructor who said first, “Cough, I’m here to tell you how to organize the housework and the training situation tomorrow morning.”
Only then did a few girls look up from their books, and those who were practicing math problems also put down their pens.
The instructor saw the seven female classmates all got up or opened their mosquito nets, except for the girl’s mosquito net by the window, there was no movement at all. He thought that the girl was asleep, so he walked over with a serious step and knocked on the edge of the bed above the girl.
Then he saw the girl who was completely immersed in her own work and couldn’t help herself from writing. She raised her head blankly and looked at the instructor through the mosquito net.
Until the instructors finished teaching internal affairs and left, the two instructors sighed as they went downstairs.
“No. 1 High School deserves to be a key high school.”
The chief instructor had a serious face, but walked downstairs very briskly, “I was too embarrassed to disturb them just now.”
The lights hadn’t been turned off yet. Jiang Ning knew that she still had plenty of time before sleep. After the instructors left, she went back to finish the chapter at hand.
During the military training, she would definitely be exhausted every day. Then she would have no time to write. She decided to write more before the military training started.
After finishing writing, Jiang Ning stretched her neck, put down her pen, and came out of the mosquito net to wash up. When she turned her head, she saw that all the girls in the dormitory were studying with books in their hands. No one was chatting.
She stretched her limbs slightly, for fear of disturbing the study of other roommates, she gently went to get the basin and toiletries, and gently picked up the kettle and went to the bathroom to take a bath.
Little did she know that after she went out with the kettle, the other seven girls in the room all raised their heads and looked at the door that she gently closed, and they all sighed involuntarily.
To them, the atmosphere in the room was so intense.
