Jiang Ning and Sun Ya were still busy working. Gu Cheng first poured himself a large pot of warm water and brewed some tea to relieve dryness. Then he entered the study and opened his notebook that had been dusty for a long time, preparing to start.

Accept the backlog of emails, and then solve the work content and problems that cause you headaches one by one.

Speaking of which, these electronic components need to be kept in a state of regular use for a long time. If left idle for a long time, it will cause great damage to the function and other operations of the computer. Take the computer Gucheng, which is specially designed to

Although the thickness of the ultra-hot laptops configured cannot be compared with the convenient laptops of later generations, and even its performance is far inferior, for this era, this kind of computer is already considered a high-end product.

But even with this high-end electronic product, Gu Cheng has not used it for nearly half a month. When he turns it on again, the startup screen is still very slow, even several notches slower than when Gu Cheng used it frequently before, with bumps and bumps.

The beehive began to operate, bringing with it the sound of wind. Gu Cheng was always worried that his computer would not be able to operate. It was not until he stared at the startup screen that he finally saw the familiar desktop background.

"Old antique stuff."

Gu Cheng opened the tea cup and blew gently on the water in the cup, savoring the taste of the tea in a small sip. At the same time, he looked down at the old antique notebook in front of him. He was used to the efficiency of the fast-running performance machines of later generations. Now this kind of

The old antique really made him feel that everything was slow, and he didn't even want to play with this kind of computer unless necessary. However, when he thought about the backlog of work he had in the past, he had no choice but to pick up the mouse and open the familiar email software, preparing to send messages one by one.

Look at the content of the email you received.

Although he currently has a lot of work backlogged on his hands, Gu Cheng still has a way to solve such complicated work by himself. First, he divides all the backlogged accidents into several levels, and the top level is those that require special calls.

Those who give their own replies, like this, naturally belong to the first echelon of their own viewing.

Those who ask themselves for solutions to some problems and are not anxious to get a reply immediately will naturally be placed in the second echelon. After all the first echelon has been solved, they will reply to the other party's questions in a more rigorous manner. In this way

You can do both without delaying, and at the same time, you can ensure that you don't become a little flustered because of too many things.

As for the greetings from friends and other less important things, it is natural to deal with such matters at the end. It will not change whether you reply in advance or not, and the importance itself is also at the lowest level. When will it be restored?

It’s not even that important, whether or not to reply is somewhat debatable.

According to the rules set by himself, for Gu Cheng at present, perhaps the most important thing is to respond to the illustrations and some prefaces determined by the publishing house. At the same time, he also needs to take a look at the publicity plan formulated by the publishing house. If

If you have no objections to these work contents, you only need to reply with an OK. Even if the task is completed, the publishing house will immediately start the actual production process after receiving the reply.

The reason why I think this job is the most important at the moment is because when I was at the manor, Gu Cheng had already received a urging call from my senior brother. Almost all the work of the publishing house has been almost completed, and we are just waiting for confirmation from Gu Cheng.

Only then will the production process begin, so the other party needs to give a realistic answer as soon as possible. If there are any doubts, they should be raised with the staff here in a timely manner, and they are always waiting for his comments to be revised.

As for why Gu Cheng didn't say yes, almost all the remaining work and the second half of the work need to enter a state of stagnation. This is also an invisible benefit of Gu Cheng's current improvement in the industry. After signing a contract for a new work

At that time, it was stipulated that the writer had the right to decide on his own work. It can be said that if the publishing house's typesetting and proofreading and the choice of cover illustrations did not meet Gu Cheng's aesthetics, he had the right to stop printing at any time, and even

Being able to use your rights to suspend the publicity work that the publisher has already invested a lot of energy into.

There is no doubt that if this right is really used, it will definitely cause great losses to the publishing house, and may even make all the preliminary preparations in vain. Because of this, this right is generally used if

It is almost never awarded to the writer himself unless he has achieved the corresponding status.

Even this itself is a benefit and treatment that only some top writers have. If you change it to a newbie, you have no right to bargain with the publishing house. You must know that no matter how talented you are, you still have no right to bargain when facing capital.

You need to surrender. Unless your talent has reached the point where you are indispensable, you can get concessions from the other party.

The reason why Yu Qi was willing to hand over this right to Gu Cheng in the first place, and even wrote it into the contract to ensure the interests of the other party, and at the same time show the sincerity of the publishing house, was that he believed that the other party was not a person who would use it carelessly, and at the same time, he believed that the other party was not a person who would use it carelessly.

He is also very convinced of his character, and even wants to improve the level of cooperation between the two parties on the original basis, rely on each other, trust each other, and lay the foundation for subsequent cooperation and communication.

Gu Cheng opened the email and briefly browsed the templates provided by the other party. It must be said that after cooperation on several books, the publishing house's ability to find illustrators has also improved, and it has accurately captured his own psychology and preferences and provided them.

The illustrations are all in line with your own aesthetic point of view.

It can be seen that these illustrations are created by professional painters after combining the content of the novel. Unlike other works by newcomers, the publisher just found some illustrations in its sealed inventory that are more suitable for the situation.

, casually perfunctory.

And not surprisingly, the level of these painters has risen by 10 points, almost belonging to the top level in the industry. The cost of works by top illustrators like this is usually very expensive, and the price of an illustration is even far higher than that of others.

imagination.

Not only the illustrations, but also the design and style of the cover are more suitable for Gu Cheng's preferences, because he prefers works with a fresh temperament. After several interactions, the publishing house's professionals also grasped his psychology and style.
