Xu Nanxing did a good job in this advertising campaign.
When the penetration rate of television was not very high, most people still listened to the radio. Wouldn't this make it easier to promote it?
Of course, the most important thing is that the rhythm of the golden three chapters of modern online novels is so fascinating that it is easy to attract readers!
What’s more, this is a fantasy novel that stands out from tens of thousands of novels of the same type?
The newspaper has started to receive letters of praise and inquiries about royalties, but has not received a single letter of submission.
Of course, Xu Nanxing also thinks this is normal. As the newspaper grows slowly, more authors will come to submit articles.
However, Xu Nanxing did not just wait there, but chose to add a writing course section in the newspaper.
Of course, it’s not the traditional kind of teaching of writing essays, but the kind of teaching of writing online novels.
The content inside is all courses teaching writing skills that Xu Nanxing found on the Internet, as well as writing experiences of various well-known masters, etc.
There are tens of thousands of results when searching online, so Xu Nanxing arranges to publish one every day.
Because those with writing experience may be more willing to submit their manuscripts to large newspapers rather than small, unknown newspapers like hers.
So Xu Nanxing simply started a column for writing courses to see if he could inspire a few novelists.
Xu Nanxing also issued a call for submissions, accepting submissions of all types of novels, both long and short.
A few inspirational ideas are included at the end:
1. You are a disciple of a Taoist temple on Mount Mao. One day, a group of monsters suddenly break through the gates of the temple, causing heavy casualties! Suddenly, you discover that the ancestral master enshrined in the temple has appeared. In this critical moment of the temple's survival, what will you do?
2. You are studying in an ancient church college. The hill behind the school hides many unknown secrets. One day, you suddenly discover that your deskmate is actually a vampire...
3. You are a disciple of a certain sect. Under your master's orders, you follow your fellow disciples down the mountain to participate in a martial arts conference with other sects. During this time, you encounter countless heroes and encounter countless conspiracies and schemes...
4. Your friend A comes to you, soaking wet, and says he and B had just had an argument and accidentally pushed B into the water and drowned. What should you do? Just as you are shocked, B also comes running to you, soaking wet. When he sees A, he asks in shock, "Didn't you fall into the water and drown?" At this time, who should you believe?
5. If you were to be the "Little Apprentice Sister"/"Little Apprentice Brother"/"Any other character" from the movie "White Knight" (The Legend of the Swordsman), how would you rewrite the story? What kind of grudges and entanglements would you develop with the protagonists? How would the story unfold differently?
These ideas are intended to inspire readers' imagination, and of course the last one is also to serve as a small advertisement for the movie.
Anyway, Xu Nanxing also has a share in the copyright of the movie, so if someone really writes a fan fiction about the movie, there will be no copyright dispute.
Well, it seems that literary and artistic works have copyright in this era!
Anyway, Xu Nanxing is really hoping that someone will write a fan fiction about the movie, so that it can attract more people to go to the cinema to watch this movie!
Anyway, fan fiction can only be a good thing for the original work, not a bad thing!
Of course, it doesn’t matter even if no one writes fan fiction in the end. This is just something Xu Nanxing did casually!
Whether it works or not is not important!
Anyway, as long as it attracts readers' attention, it's fine!
Sure enough, this issue of the newspaper did spark discussion among readers, and the focus was on the newspaper's call for fan fiction about the movie "White-Clad Heroes in the Rivers and Lakes."
This topic is highly discussed, not only because the movie is currently showing in theaters and is quite popular.
And most importantly, there was no novel form called "fan fiction" in this era, and of course, there was no word "fan fiction".
Many people find it fresh!
This is the first time I’ve seen a newspaper openly soliciting novels for film adaptation!
Of course, Xu Nanxing also greeted the director, screenwriter, and other investors. Her reason was "to create buzz for the movie so as to attract more audiences to the cinema to watch the movie."
They certainly have no objection to this. After all, directors and screenwriters hope that the movie will be a hit. Now that they have a representative work, won’t they have more say in future filming?
Investors have even less objections. They just hope for a big box office success and newspaper publicity without them having to spend a penny more. That’s what they want!
