Chapter 46: All-embracing
Since Lin Zixuan has established his own film company, he said that his cooperation with Shanghai Film Company will come to an end.
He talked with Dan Du Yu about the business risks of such a family-style small film company, and invited Dan Du Yu to his company as a director, but was rejected by Dan Du Yu.
After all, Du Yu is just a movie lover and doesn't have that big ambition.
He just wants to satisfy his hobbies while taking care of his family.
Everyone has their own ambitions and cannot force them.
Lin Zixuan understood Du Yu's idea, everyone got together and might have opportunities to cooperate in the future.
At this time, "Shanghai Holiday" has been filmed and is undergoing post-production and can be released in theaters in mid-November.
He invested a lot of money, so he naturally did not want the film to fail, and he also actively contacted the theaters in the French Concession.
Lin Zixuan has watched some clips, but he certainly cannot reach the level of "Roman Holiday" in later generations.
Due to the financial and shooting technology, some scenes can even be said to be shoddy, but Yin Mingzhu's performance in the film is very eye-catching, crushing others, including him as the male lead.
As soon as she appears, she can attract the audience's attention and drive the audience's emotions.
What a natural actor.
Lin Zixuan was preparing to dig Yin Mingzhu to his company and sign a contract, but was rejected by Yin Mingzhu.
Yin Mingzhu will continue to work with Dan Du Yu to shoot the next movie "The Vow". After all, Dan Du Yu discovered it. She also agreed to film "The Vow" and could not go back on her word.
Her family is well-off and she doesn't need to rely on making movies to make money, so she does things all by her heart.
After filming "The Vow", she will consider whether to join Lin Zixuan's company. Of course, the prerequisite is to have a script that she is interested in.
Lin Zixuan was speechless to such a playful rich girl, but it also shows that Yin Mingzhu is in love and worth making friends.
The movie "Tianmen Hero Huo Yuanjia" does not require a heroine, so he can only work together in the future. He believes that under Yin Mingzhu's conditions, he will definitely shine in audio movies.
After the newspaper moved to the French Concession, Pingqianya felt that the time for his great ambitions had come.
During this period, he used the funds provided by Lin Zixuan to acquire a small printing factory, set up editorial offices and distribution offices, attracted a group of frustrated literati, and set up cooperative offices in major cities across the country.
This kind of office cooperates with local newspapers and gives local newspapers a certain commission, so that the publications of Wanxiang Bookstore can be distributed across the country.
Pingqianya is not satisfied with issuing it only to Shanghai, and its goal is to be the whole of China.
At present, there are no problems in cities around Shanghai. There are acquaintances in Nanjing, Suzhou, Hangzhou and other places, which are easy to establish relationships. The newspaper industry in the north is more xenophobic and can only send people to discuss.
In terms of the types of publications, "Popular Novel Weekly" only publishes novels, and the audience it faces is too small. He plans to run a comprehensive magazine named "Vision".
"Everything" means everything.
It can be a novel, an essay, or current affairs commentary, anecdotes of domestic and foreign celebrities, customs of the world, popular science and knowledge, historical facts, food and plates, small craftsmanship, etc.
It is divided into various columns such as characters, society, life, life, civilization, home, little things, interaction, art, etc.
As long as it is interesting, has connotation and can attract readers, it can be published in "Vision".
This is actually the content form Lin Zixuan borrowed from later magazine "Readers".
In later generations, Reader magazine was called "the spiritual reading book of the Chinese people", which won the love and support of readers of all ages and different classes.
Its circulation ranks first in Chinese journals, first in Asian journals, and fourth in the world's comprehensive journals.
Lin Zixuan does not want to publish a magazine that is highly professional, but a popular magazine that learns from both China and abroad, gathers the essence, enlightens ideas, and broadens his horizons.
When he was in school later, he had read many episodes of "Readers", and many of the short stories in them were very meaningful and could be written down if he had time.
He remembered that there was a magazine called Zhiyin in later generations, which was also very popular, and specifically told miserable life stories.
The articles of Zhiyin magazine have always been known for their delicateness and touchingness, creating the form of "Zhiyin style".
Many readers doubt the authenticity of the story in Zhiyin magazine.
Some newspapers even disclosed that in order to make the article more "touching" and "good-looking", the editor of "Zhiyin" processed, adapted, and even changed the facts and fabricated stories.
Even so, Zhiyin magazine still ranks sixth in the world's comprehensive journals in circulation.
There is a reason for the success of any magazine. Such a large circulation can only show that ordinary people like this kind of stories, and this kind of story of spiritual chicken soup can soothe readers' hearts.
Lin Zixuan felt that the next step could imitate the "Zhiyin style" and found the "Zhiyin" magazine.
There is also the "Liberation Pictorial" edited by Zheng Zhengqiu and Zhou Jianyun, which promotes women's liberation, which can also be included in the system of Wanxiang Bookstore.
In later generations, there was a magazine called "Family", originally named "Guangdong Women", which is a comprehensive monthly magazine that focuses on love, marriage, and family.
The circulation ranks eighth among global cultural comprehensive journals.
Although it is the Republic of China period and the times are different, the readers' needs are the same. The above magazines target different reader groups and can cover most readers across the country.
"Everything" is aimed at social elites, "Zhiyin" is aimed at ordinary people, and "Family" is aimed at female readers.
In this way, a huge newspaper group revealed its prototype.
Lin Zixuan's future plan made Pingqianya admire him very much. He just casually talked about the content and operation of the future magazine. The specific matters should be done by Pingqianya.
In order to show your abilities and to serve the big boss well.
When the Vientiane Bookstore was first established, the first thing Ping Jinya did was to publish a collection of poems for Lin Zixuan.
Taking advantage of the fact that the discussion of new poetry has just ended, it is time to publish a collection of poems.
Even Guo Moruo has published the book "Goddess". How could the founder of the new poem have no collection of poems? Only with the collection of poems can he be embarrassed to say that he is a poet, otherwise he will always feel that he is not right.
I have to say that Ping Jinya has a good idea in terms of comprehension.
Lin Zixuan was quite satisfied with this. He sorted out his poems, selected 30 new poems, and wrote a letter to ask Hu Shi and Zhou Zuoren to write a preface.
This is to repay the support of the two in the debate with Guo Moruo, so that they can bring each other closer together.
If you want to stay in the literary world, the more friends you have, the better. Hu Shi and Zhou Zuoren are undoubtedly the leaders in the literary world of this era.
