949. The poet who sells
Yang Yi has its own set of rules for publishing. Most people may not know this information, but Yang Yi has never kept it confidential and accepted submissions. If outsiders do not know the rules, it would be inconvenient. Therefore, as long as they are writers and authors in the circle, they can pay more attention to this aspect and can also inquire about related matters through channels. Yang Yi did not believe that the member of the presidium of the China Writers Association in front of him would not be clear about this issue.
But the other party just asked whether he could decide whether he could decide on the publication of a book and then made this request. It was obviously a bit prepared, so it would be a bit unwise to refuse the party directly now. Otherwise, the person might have left a small thorn in his heart, thinking that the boy was deliberately giving him face. Yang Yi also made a quick weighing point and then asked the other party to show him the manuscript instead of directly rejecting the party.
Yang Yi is an idealist and a true literary fan. The most basic condition for him to decide whether a person's work is published or not is determined by the list of bestsellers left in the memory of his previous life. As long as he reads it, he thinks it does have certain literary significance and at least it can bring readers a good reading experience, then this work is worthy of promotion. In fact, Yang Yi publishing does this - a bestseller that was famous in his previous life. He either directly contacts the author himself or lets the editorial department pay special attention to the submission of bestsellers, as long as he passes the editorial cross-examination, he will not spare any effort to operate it. Driving the cultural industry is not the popularity of bestsellers in a national book market. It depends on how many people there are in addition to bestsellers and teaching and social science books. They are willing to pay for book consumption and are willing to spend their free time reading.
So if you don’t read the best-selling books published by Yangyi. If you look at it together, you will find that after removing the best-selling books, Yangyi’s publishing is completely a “micro-profit” state. This is actually something that many people, including industry observers, have not noticed. Many peers in the publishing industry, including the majority of author readers, and people in the relevant economic field, have focused on Yangyi’s publishing’s exploration of best-selling books. It ignores the help of Yangyi Culture’s department to traditional literature. If it is replaced by a capital-dominated foreign market, then the performance of this department will be the kind that fails and will definitely be criticized and attacked by the board members.
But the boy was not willing to agree immediately to the gentleman in front of him.
It is true that he is the cause of idealism, but it does not mean that he will be a sucker for no reason. No matter what good or bad things are, they will be published. If the other party's works cannot be put on the table at all, then it would be fine if Yang Yi lost the business cost of publishing it. But who will be responsible for the loss of reputation caused?
Seeing the boy say this, Chi Jiren's eyes flickered, and then laughed cheerfully. He asked him in a joke, "Why, Xiaoyi, are you still worried that the quality of my works is not up to standard? Very serious! But don't worry, why is Lao Chi, a man who has published several works. A national first-class poet, cannot deliberately come up with some perfunctory works to make you embarrassed. To be honest, my collection, the editor-in-chief of the Writers Publishing House, has already read the review... I will just convey his original words, so as not to think that I am boasting about myself - my words are mediocre and poetic. I think this evaluation is still enough, right?"
After hearing what the other party said, the boy did not respond immediately, but the smile on his face slightly fluctuated. However, his reaction was deliberately done. I believe the other party would not be so eye-loss and should be able to understand what he meant.
As expected, after seeing that Yang Yi had no intention of responsiveness, Chi Jiren simply continued to talk to himself: "Do you think that since I have given such an evaluation at the Writers Publishing House, why don't you agree to them? Just leave the works to them for management, right? Alas, let me tell you the truth, although I am barely a little famous in the literary circle, but after all, traditional literature is still a bit far from the current popular reading. Moreover, you may not know the situation at the Writers Publishing House. In recent years, I have not published several works that can be read in sales in recent years, and they all rely on some "often best-selling". Although I am a writer and a poet, writers also have to eat, right? I can't survive by drinking the northwest wind... Alas, I feel embarrassed to say that..."
Although Chi Jiren hasn't finished speaking, Yang Yi also vaguely understood what the other party meant. It was nothing more than that the Writers Publishing House is a public institution under the Writers Association and did not have much market pressure. Therefore, when it comes to marketing methods, it is not as good as that of Xinhua Publishing House, Commercial Press and other departments, which are also national, and it is not as good as that of Yangyi Publishing. As an author, the publisher's market sales are not strong, so of course he is not willing to hand over the works to them.
After thinking about it, the boy smiled in the other party's tone and said, "What Teacher Chi means is that the market operation published by our Yangyi is OK. I hope that our works can get some marketing breakthroughs with us?"
"What else can it be? Since I think so in my heart, I'm not afraid to admit it in person." Chi Jiren looked very straightforward and nodded without hesitation, "There's no way, who made you so popular in publishing and marketing as soon as you published? Not to mention your colleagues, who did not want to contribute to your articles at this annual meeting? You see, if you can, then what if we decided like this?"
Seeing the other party talking a few words, there was a hint of coercion in his words. The boy laughed in his heart, but he didn't express anything at all on the surface, but looked embarrassed: "In fact, I don't count if I say it alone. I can make decisions on some things myself, but that is just a popular reading. As for purely literary poetry and prose and other works, it still needs to be read by our publishing house editors. If you have a specialty in your profession, it is not convenient for me to express my opinions in areas that I am not familiar with."
Although boys have repeatedly rude, it makes sense. Now they have not even seen the shadow of the work. Who knows what level of your "simple words and poetic touching" thing is? Anyway, you say these words yourself, and I haven't seen them yet. It is naturally impossible for a reborn man with this idea to make any promises immediately.
But his reaction became a sin when it fell into the other party's eyes. Chi Jiren's face also showed a hint of very obvious unhappiness, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little cold.
But this person is a bureaucrat among literati and not an ordinary writer. Even if he is unhappy, his face can still be maintained. Therefore, after suppressing his unhappiness, he smiled and said, "Why, Xiaoyi, you can't make a decision in your own company? Then you, the boss, is a bit boring, haha! Let's go back and let someone send the manuscript, but the same sentence is still the case, don't worry about the quality of the work. I have been climbing the grid for decades, and this is still guaranteed. The main thing is that I happened to meet you. Some details in the publishing, such as the cover design and marketing promotion, need me to cooperate with these things. It is better to have these things interviewed first. Then I said that I will finalize these things first, otherwise, even if I go back to the capital, it will be somewhat inconvenient even if I have a phone call, right?"
Yang Yixin said you promised it, but what does it mean to not show it to me? For 10,000 reasons, it is easier to communicate without discussing the details of publishing, but that is also a matter of things after confirming the publishing qualifications, right?
And the most critical issue is that boys are reborn. He knows a little about the various tricks in the domestic literary world, which have been developed in the media and rapid communication. If with the rapid development of the Chinese economy, the moral bottom line of the Chinese people has been repeatedly challenged and repeatedly broken through by some people without any limits, then as part of the national group, the writer group, when facing the temptation of the material desires of sensuality and luxury, this group of people also lose their personal bottom line. I won’t talk about some of the tricks in the Federation of Literary and Art Circles and Writers Association. However, some writers even become famous and gained popularity by plagiarism, and the emergence of various strange works are all things that make boys particularly wary of.
Especially the person in front of him said that he was still a national first-class poet. In his previous life, Yang Yi had heard a lot of inconspicuous titles. What is a national first-class poet? What is the evaluation criteria for this title? Anyway, boys couldn't figure it out in the previous life. But he still had a lot of people like him who didn't understand it, and it did not affect the female poet named Zhao, who made the name of "national first-class poet", became very popular throughout the country. The pear blossom-style poem that made Yang Yi very resistant to the title of national first-class poet after he was reborn.
Considering that this kind of problem must be prevented from getting worse, Yang Yi tried to explain with a smile after thinking about it: "If you are worried about inconvenient communication, then Teacher Chi really doesn't have to worry, because I will fly to Beijing once a week in the next six months. So if there is any problem, I will fly over immediately after the editorial department has finished reading your work. Everyone will discuss it face to face, and it will definitely not delay things. As long as Teacher Chi thinks that I will not disturb you when I visit you."
