When he woke up, Shen Yan, a modern online article writer, became the young boss of a run-down tabloid office in Jinmen during the Republic of China.
Bad news: The newspaper owes three hundred dollars, paper prices have skyrocketed, the newsboys are disbanding, the typesetters are leaving, and creditors are blocking the door.
Worse news: This was the early years of the Republic of China when warlords were separatist, concessions were rampant, and the old and new literary worlds were quarreling. If a newspaper wrote a wrong sentence, it would be blocked, or shot.
In order to survive, Shen Yan decided on the spot - start a serialization!
Others are still writing elegant collections of poems and parallel prose editorials, but he has already adapted the rhythm of modern online writing to newspapers: a chapter of three thousand words, with conflicts between chapters and chapters interrupted at the most critical point.
A magically adapted martial arts film called "Iron-Blooded City" was released.
The rickshaw driver pooled his money to buy a newspaper and asked the teahouse gentleman to read it aloud; the newspaper boy yelled until his voice became hoarse; the old-school literati scolded "gentle sweepers" during the day and secretly sent servants to grab the newspaper at night; the warlord saw the broken articles in the defense of the city and fired his gun to urge the update: "Will you be able to defend tomorrow? If you can't write it, I will kill you!"
The newspaper is alive and well.
Shen Yan also realized: It turns out that readers in the Republic of China were also accustomed to breaking chapters.
Therefore, during the day, he was a mercenary popular novelist, making money by selling newspapers on martial arts, detectives, romance, and children's stories; at night, he put on one vest after another, writing essays, conducting polemics, criticizing old ethics, criticizing warlords, talking about women's studies, promoting vernacular, and talking about science.
A vest scolded him for being vulgar and flattering.
Another vest defended him, saying that popular literature was the entrance to enlightenment.
The third vest jumped out again and said that the first two did not see the bottom readers.
The national literary world is in turmoil!
