Of course, scandals and gossips are just Xu Nanxing's way of adding fun and attracting readers who love gossip.
The most important part of this newspaper is of course the story section at the back!
Many readers who are attracted by gossip news see the story section which accounts for a large proportion.
The new newspaper features a rich and diverse collection of stories, including fables, jokes, romances, and serialized novels from ancient and modern times, both Chinese and foreign. These stories are engaging and profound, allowing readers to grasp the philosophy of life through their reading. It truly is a truly entertaining and educational experience!
Even if adults may not have time to read these novels or stories, there will definitely be parents who are willing to buy a newspaper and let their children at home read it to increase their knowledge!
This was also one of Xu Nanxing’s plans.
Of course, the most important thing about this newspaper is the novel it publishes.
As long as the story attracts readers, they will continue to buy the newspaper during the serialization period, for fear of missing out on important plots by missing an issue.
The novel that Xu Nanxing chose to serialize was an ancient fantasy novel!
If there is anything that can beat martial arts novels, it can only be fantasy novels!
The world of martial arts is a world where people act righteously, act freely and take pleasure in revenge.
In that world, swords flash and revenges are taken, children's love is long and tearful, magical martial arts are unpredictable, and stories of the martial arts world emerge in endlessly. All of this continues to attract countless people.
This world is full of killing and blood, love and hate, magic and secrets, stories and legends.
It has attracted countless readers who love martial arts novels to indulge in it, as if they were in a cruel world full of dangers and opportunities.
Because the martial arts novels of Jin Yong, Gu Long, Liang Yusheng and other great writers became extremely popular, this era was the golden age of martial arts novels. Many martial arts-related works also emerged in film and television dramas, many of which received good box office returns, so the trend was unstoppable!
In fact, let alone this era, even in Xu Nanxing's time, there were endless film and television works adapted from Jin Yong's novels released every year!
So in order to surpass other martial arts novels and attract more readers, Xu Nanxing thought of fantasy novels.
Of course, fantasy novels did not appear in modern times, but they existed as early as the Republic of China period.
As early as 1932 during the Republic of China period, Tianjin's Tianfeng Daily serialized a long martial arts novel titled "The Legend of the Swordsman of Shu Mountain" (author: Huanzhu Louzhu).
How long is this novel?
This "Shushan Swordsman" was serialized in "Tianfeng Daily" from 1932 until the fifth volume of "Sequel" was completed in 1949, which took about 17 years.
Based on this time period, the total word count is estimated to be over 4.5 million words!
It was really long in that era!
Although "The Legend of Swordsman of Mount Shu" was sold as a martial arts novel at the time, the whimsical world of immortals created in this novel was an early setting for fantasy novels!
Malaysian martial arts writer Wen Ruian once commented on this book: "Huanzhu Louzhu uses his unbridled imagination to bring martial arts fiction into a fantasy realm of swordsmen. His profound foundation in Chinese studies, his vast and varied literary skills, and his unique understanding of the integration of Taoism, Buddhism, and Confucianism, make his writing rich and elegant, with a unique and bizarre variety, whether describing scenery, objects, or people. Every brilliant description and wonderfully crafted sentence leaves one feeling of wave after another. It is truly breathtaking to read, a breathtaking and incredible read."
So fantasy novels have appeared a long time ago, and now that Xu Nanxing has chosen to serialize this male-oriented fantasy novel, it doesn’t seem abrupt at all!
The reason why she chose this ancient fantasy article was mainly to reduce the popular online memes of later generations so that readers would not be confused.
This old male fantasy novel titled "Sword God Asks the Sky" has a total of 3.55 million words, and the most important thing is that it has been completed!
Because it was already completed, Xu Nanxing felt at ease to let Xu Yanchen serialize the novel in the newspaper.
Combined with the use of AI drawing, it is very easy to directly generate pictures of scenes and characters related to the novel!
The magic of AI drawing technology lies in its ability to automatically create realistic scenes and lifelike characters based on text descriptions we provide. Whether it's the fantastical scenery of a fairy tale world or the bustling scenes of a modern city, AI drawing accurately presents the scene we imagine, and Xu Nanxing is now using it with great ease.
The magnificent palaces in those generated images, like celestial palaces, towered majestically, inspiring awe. Fairies soaring on swords, their robes fluttering as they rode the wind, seemed like exiled immortals descended to earth. Fantastic battles unfolded like a dazzling, multicolored scroll across the sky, dazzling the eyes. Mythical beasts, some majestic and powerful, some charming and adorable, some mysterious and unfathomable, filled the air with wonder. The magical herb Ganoderma lucidum exuded an alluring fragrance, seemingly granting immortality.
These beautiful pictures transformed from text are like scrolls, showing endless imagination and creativity, making readers feel as if they are in the pictures and feel the charm and power of literature.
In this era when imagination is not so rich, these beautiful and imaginative pictures have become a powerful tool to attract readers!
