Although "Mirror and Flower" is just a short story with a length of 4,000 words, as Kim Jong-sung's work, it was published in its own magazine, and of course it will receive special treatment. In this issue of "J-young Literature and Art", the headline is "The Days of Confucian Scholars in Sung Kyo-kwan", followed by "Mirror and Flower".

The novel he wrote, and it was just written not long ago, Jin Jingcheng certainly remembers "Mirror and Flower", but the feeling of reading this novel in a magazine is different. It will not only make Jin Jingcheng feel a little accomplished, but also look more serious and decent.

After reading "Mirror and Flower", Kim Jong-sung smiled and muttered: "Even if I am narcissistic, I have to praise myself. This novel is indeed well written!"

"Mirror and Flower" is not a work of Jin Jingcheng "plagiarized" his previous life, but a novel that he himself actually created. He himself likes his innovative writing techniques in this short story. He does not narrate the story in a regular way, but borrows a mirror and a pot of cerebral cerebral to present the story from a unique perspective. He also likes the illusionistic realism feeling of this novel combining reality and illusion.

Narcissism is narcissism, but Kim Jingcheng is still responsible. This is derived from the mentality of "his wife's love for her family". From a professional perspective, the short story "Mirror and Flower" will not be very good, but when it is named Jin Jingcheng's name in "j-young Literature", it will definitely drive popularity and sales.

This issue of "j-young Literature" magazine includes both the serialization of "The Days of Confucian Scholars in Sungkyung" and Kim Jingcheng's short story "Mirror and Flower". Kim Jingcheng believes that if nothing unexpected happens, the Korean and domestic version of this issue can be sold for about 350,000 copies, which is 100,000 copies higher than the previous issue, and the overseas version is estimated to be able to increase by at least 10,000 copies, and nearly 50,000 copies will be sold for 400,000 copies!

As a Korean literary and artistic magazine, if the total sales volume of domestic and overseas editions can reach 400,000 copies, it means that "j-young Literature" will become the best-selling magazine among all Korean literary and artistic magazines.

What is the concept of selling 350,000 copies in South Korea?

It can be used as an example.

As we all know, the most awesome art magazine in China is "Reader". "Reader" has been ranked first in the monthly circulation of Chinese journals for ten consecutive years from 2000 to 2010. "Reader" sold 8.06 million copies in November 2003, setting a record and creating a miracle in the history of Chinese journal development, making "Reader"'s advertising operation reach more than 30 million yuan, and annual profit and tax reach 3,000 yuan.

More than 10,000 yuan has created outstanding social and economic benefits, becoming a famous brand in Gansu and even the whole country. In April 2006, the sales volume of Reader exceeded 10 million copies in a single period, setting a record again. The Provincial Party Committee, Provincial Government, General Administration of Press and Publication, the Publicity Department of the Central Propaganda Department, and the China Journal Association all sent congratulatory letters to the Reader magazine to celebrate the birth of the miracle of exceeding 10 million copies.

China has a population of 1.3 billion, while South Korea has only 50 million. The former is 26 times that of the latter. Calculate it, multiplying 350,000 by 26 equals 9.1 million.

If this issue of "j-young Literature and Art" can be sold for 350,000 copies in South Korea, it will be equivalent to a Chinese art magazine selling for 9.1 million copies in China, which is not much different from the maximum sales volume of "Reader" in a single issue.

And it is certain that this is definitely not the pinnacle of "j-young Literature". In the future, with the continuous serialization of "The Days of Confucian Scholars in Sungkyung Kwan", the sales of "j-young Literature" will definitely continue to grow, especially when serialized to the finale.

At that time, "j-young Literature" will be like "Reader" in China. It will not only be a literary magazine, but will become a famous brand in South Korea. The combined sales and advertising revenue will generate more than 2.5 billion won (more than 20 million yuan).

Although 20 million yuan is nothing to Jin Jingcheng, this is just created by a literary magazine under his jurisdiction!

In this way, I have to sigh that "j-young Literature and Art" is indeed very awesome and can be compared with the situation of "j-young Fashion". Of course, in terms of the revenue created, "j-young Literature and Art" is definitely not as good as "j-young Fashion", because the market of "j-young Fashion" is much larger and the profit margin is much larger. Moreover, "j-young Fashion" is a weekly magazine. "j-young Fashion"'s annual income in 2006 reached more than 3 billion won (nearly 30 million yuan) and will continue to grow in the future.

I remember that when Kim Jingcheng asked Yao Yihan to start two magazines, "j-young Fashion" and "j-young Literature and Art", the fundamental reason was that he was unwilling to be a person led by the fashion trends and literary thoughts of the times. He wanted to use these two magazines to go from a leader to a leading figure in his hands. The direct reason was that he wanted to fully develop Yao Yihan's talents and potential.

To be honest, at that time, Kim Jong-sung was mainly concerned about "j-young Fashion", and "j-young Literature" belongs to the same. If "j-young Fashion" is regarded as his own son by Kim Jong-sung, then "j-young Literature" is like an adopted son he adopted by the way.

Kim Jong-sung had expected "j-young Literature" to be successful, but he didn't expect it to be so successful and so quickly!

Thinking of this, Kim Jong-sung put down his "j-young Literature" magazine and did not continue reading it.

He suddenly had a plan!

Because of the great success of "j-young Literature", the stimulation of "The Days of Confucian Scholars in Sungkyunkwan", and the four short stories that have been created one after another have inspired the desire to create. Kim Jong-sung suddenly wants to continue writing short stories, and he wants to write a collection of short stories!

After hesitating for a few minutes, Jin Jingcheng decided to implement this plan, sighing with laughter: "Uncle Zhang is right. I seem to be a person who is afraid of no trouble. Although I really don't like trouble, I really often make trouble for myself. For example, now, I have so much and so busy with things, especially the plan to conquer the financial crisis, which I have to pay attention and control every day. Director "The Furnace" also takes a lot of time and energy. Now, I actually have to write novels again! Well, but what I said to Uncle Zhang before is right. If I want to climb to a higher place quickly, I have to constantly challenge trouble, and sometimes I have to make trouble for myself, because men's achievements are often experienced by trouble."

Immediately, Jin Jingcheng picked up his phone and sent a text message to Yao Yihan: "Yihan, are you asleep?"

The text message quickly replied: "No, President Oppa, I will hold a meeting tomorrow morning to deploy the establishment of a cosmetics research and development base. I am still on duty in the office and improve this project plan."
