"Old Yu, it's not me that I'm talking about you. I know the price tags offered there. If you insist on comparing it, it might be the highest price in China. Anyway, we Yuelu Publishing cannot give such a high price, but I'll take the liberal arts professor now. Are you a short of money now? After receiving this title, the youngest liberal arts professor in China in the 1980s, he was directly appointed as the vice president of the Modu Drama Academy by the Ministry of Culture the next day. Other titles, such as the president of the Modu Writing Society, the consulting and planning consultant of the Modu City Municipal Committee, the Ten Academic Elites of the Magic City, and the visiting professors of the United Nations University, and the national book contribution experts. I won't mention them. As long as we are people in the circle, which one does not know which one does not understand? If it is for copyright royalties, you don't have to hide it from me. Everyone knows that you are the first person in the Chinese writers now, but the top three are always fine, right?"

In a reception hall of the Magic City Federation of Literary and Art Circles, the open-air garden is full of branches and leaves. A shower of early summer just passed, falling down the blooming flowers, white and pink petals, and it is covered with the ground. The rain has not yet dried up, and it is shining by the sun, shining with the dazzling light like pearls and diamonds.

Just like this, a quiet and lazy person who couldn't help but become lazy and could not help but steal six sides of the garden where half a day of leisure was a thin and vigorous middle-aged man in his forties, was constantly persuading another man of similar temperament. Seeing the other party picking up the tea in front of him and pondering silently, the former continued: "Of course, this is what we talked between us, when we were outside. I would definitely not talk nonsense about this. But now there is no one else present, so don't go around with me. I'm not talking nonsense, right? So you

Now it's not that little money, why do you have to agree to Yangyi's publication? Fourteen percent copyright points. We really can't open it, but you don't need it either? Then putting aside economic interests, what's better than our Yuelu Culture? If you hand over the re-copyright of "Cultural Journey" to us this time, it's not a problem to re-hot the book and you, as a person. How about it? Now you know the conditions of our president, whether to agree or not. You have to give a correct letter, right?"

If the two people had not revealed much information before their conversation, then the name of a book that is famous in China that is a man who loves traditional literature in China is enough to show the identity of the unspeakable man - Yu Qiuyu, a senior, famous literary circle of Jiangnan fellow villager, a famous internationally marked cultural history scholar, and a famous contemporary Chinese literary theorist. In addition to the achievements in writing, some research and academic achievements in literary theory, and even the treasure island literature across the sea

The academic circle has also caused countless crazes. Many overseas universities and cultural institutions have even invited Chinese people to give lectures abroad. Even the British "Catalogue of International Famous Scholars", "World Who's Who" and "Catalogue of Outstanding Contributions" have collected his name. Even if you wait for seven or eight years, the Chinese Academy of Arts will set up a "Qiuyu Academy" unit specifically for his achievements. He is the dean of this only school in China who has no branch.

If ordinary people mostly knew him just because they were ranked on the first Chinese writer rich list in later generations, then people in the circle would undoubtedly have a clearer understanding of his status in the contemporary literary world of China. From the 1990s, his book "Cultural Journey" was released to the first decade after the arrival of the new century, both his name and his works occupied an extremely important position in the corresponding fields. In addition to Baodao, Hong Kong Island and Aokao were also recognized by him one after another.

Perhaps because this writer frequently appeared in some semi-entertainment activities in later generations, it has attracted many people to criticize him. However, in terms of current achievements in the literary world and status in the literary world, it is well deserved to say that he is the number one person in China, and no one can argue with it casually.

At this moment, whether it is the "Yuelu Culture" that the person opposite, or the "Yangyi Culture" that pops up from time to time from now on, they have made the best explanation for what is happening now - this person from Yuelu Culture... is almost 100% sure of being an editor, and is trying to persuade this number one figure in the domestic literary world because of the expired copyright of "Cultural Journey" that has expired.

After being comforted by the editor of Yuelu Culture, Yu Qiuyu, who is already a well-known figure in the cultural world, couldn't continue to hesitate, so he nodded and finally said, "But the problem now is that I have promised others before. Lao Liu, if you discussed this matter with me three months earlier, then needless to say, based on the friendship between us, the re-copyright of my book will be operated for you, but now that I promised someone else's affairs, how can I go back on my regret?"

The "Old Liu" there immediately became clear in his heart when he heard this. He knew that his old friend had been trying hard for him again and again, but due to his identity and reputation in the circle, he was not good to go back on his word and agreed to with others directly. Even if it was just a verbal agreement, as a cultural person, no matter how strong the character of this person is, at least on the surface, he should also cherish his own feathers very much.

Mao is right, not the kind of pure businessmen who are just forgetting their interests and changing their families. So after shook his head calmly, he continued, "You can't say that. Although it was a verbal agreement, it has not been time to sign a contract with black and white texts, right? As long as you nod, then some other things will naturally be handled by our Yuelu Culture. Even if Yangyi Culture wants to sue, we will be blocking us in front of you. You don't have to worry about this..."

Seeing that his old friend's clothes were indifferent, Yu Qiuyu shook his head with a wry smile: "I'm not worried about arguing with the other party, I can't overcome this hurdle." As he said that, the big man in the domestic literary world pointed to his heart. Perhaps every famous figure could not have pure black and white in his heart, but for people like them who are engaged in literary work, as long as they have not reached that moment of deep thinking about survival, some psychological bottom line persistence is still very necessary. Just like now, no matter how generous the Yuelu Culture has offered, he is inevitably full of doubts because of his inner persistence in the bottom line.

"Old Yu, I also know your thoughts. At the very least, people who are engaged in literary creation still need to be conservative. I agree with your point of view. But the problem now is that we have not used money to smash you, nor do we let you forget your reputation when you see profits, right? Now our Yuelu Culture has something to ask for you, and I hope you can lend a helping hand, at least help us make our grades better." The thin editor sighed with a wry smile: "Although I seem to be very disdainful of that Yangyi Culture, you also know that their actions in the domestic book market in the past two years have been too conspicuous and completely unreasonable. It was a good idea last year that the top ten bestsellers in the country in the year-end statistics were just them.

The publishing house occupied four seats, and it was a quasi-selling book that had entered the threshold for best-selling books or was just a short time. If you just look at the market vision and the circulation of a single book, then it would not be an exaggeration to say that Yang Yi swept the best-selling book market in our country as soon as it was published. This year was even more excessive. It has not arrived for half a year. The three best-selling books of the evil young man over there, the latest "The Emperor Kangxi", and other writers' works, and the best-selling books submitted to them have reached six! A total of six, what is this concept? One book "Text" and one book "Flying All the Way" are also stable best-selling books that are not enough to run, and everyone can see this clearly. So to be honest, our life is not easy now..."

"Those big publishing groups are better. You talk about Commercial Press, because their main business is all about literature, history and social science education books. The dictionary published every year is enough for them to ensure their own performance. There is also the Sanlian Publishing House in Magic City, which is also rich in disciples and does not worry about writer resources, so it can barely stand up now. But like us, we live by the residual soup left by Commercial Press, and if we want to eat well, we have to find a way to do it ourselves. That is not a publishing agency that is not a publishing eye.

It's so popular. The one who didn't want to grab some powerful manuscripts that were staggered with Yangyi's publication, so now I'm not asking you to speak without trust. I just beg you to do this for so many years. Don't let us not be able to overcome this year." In order to get the recopyright of "Cultural Journey", this editor of Yuelu Culture said all the good things and even revealed his shortcomings and asked others for help. If a young writer who was just a fledgling writer, he might be moved by his words immediately and then agree to the other party's request.

But Yu Qiuyu is already a new generation of big shots in the circle. He naturally knows some twists and deep inside stories. Yuelu Culture and other small and medium-sized publishing institutions that rely on "frequently sold books" to make money all by "best-selling books". Life is indeed difficult now, but it is definitely not as miserable as the other party said.

It seems that all the good books with the potential of best-selling books have been collected in one go by Yangyi. However, in fact, the domestic book consumption market has been growing in recent years, rather than the data released by some so-called survey institutions. It is said that Chinese people are no longer loving to read. The reason for this is that the number of independent writers and new generation writers has increased significantly now, and the total number of publications is getting more and more year by year. Although the book consumption market is gradually growing with the development of the domestic economy, it cannot keep up with the number of new publications every year, which has created an illusion of oversupply.
