26. Publishing house book signing (please subscribe, monthly ticket)

Although he is a writer, words are not separated. As a literary giant who grew up in the old society, he also has a basic appreciation of fonts.

Although the copybook is a pen copybook, you can still see traces of the brush strokes in it. The owner of this copybook is not only a master of pens, but also can be considered outstanding in calligraphy.

It even set a precedent. During this period, people began to use more keyboards or ballpoint pens to write. The writing brush has basically become a hobby for literature lovers. It is really unexpected that such a calligraphy genius has emerged.

.

After reading the fonts, he began to look at the contents of the copybooks. According to his understanding of the copybooks, most of the texts circulating on the market now are step-by-step texts. Start with the simplest ones, step by step, and practice word by word, step by step.

, I slowly corrected my handwriting and writing habits, and developed good handwriting.

However, Gu Cheng's prose-type copybook is really the first of its kind. This routine, which was somewhat unpopular in the previous life, made its first appearance in this parallel world, and it really shocked the market.

"Above the twists and turns of the lotus pond, what you can see are fields of leaves. The leaves are high in the water, like the skirts of a graceful dancer. Among the layers of leaves, there are scattered white flowers, some of which are blooming gracefully."

Being able to become the vice-president of the top literary association in China, and working in the literature department of Huaguo University, there is still no shortage of simple appreciation skills. After reading a short paragraph, my eyes lit up and I recalled

After checking the reserves in my mind, I really have never seen such articles, so it is no surprise that these proses were written by the owner of the copybook himself.

There was a bit of regret on his face. From the perspective of an older generation of literati like him, it was really overkill to use these high-quality essays that could win prizes or be included in textbooks as the content of copybooks.

"Okay, this copybook is very good. My dear grandson, go and do your homework. Can you show this copybook to grandpa?"

Yan Songbai leaned down with a smile and touched the top of his grandson's head. The grandson nodded and skipped back to the study room, ready to complete the homework assigned by the teacher today.

Songbai himself left the message alone in the yard. He continued to sit on the wicker chair in an orderly manner, wearing reading glasses, and began to enjoy the contents of the copybook. For some literati, good articles are like delicacies, but that is better than

Even if he drinks good wine, he should enjoy it.

As soon as Gu Cheng here entered the lobby of the publishing house, he received everyone's attention. Although to many outsiders, he seemed to be a mysterious figure who rarely accepted interviews, and he was a new and cutting-edge writer who had just debuted.

But for Haohan Publishing House, this person is the savior of the company that is on the verge of bankruptcy. He is now the publishing house's number one author. Whenever a new book is released, it means that the entire publishing house must concentrate all its resources and tilt it towards the other party.

Therefore, all the employees of the publishing house knew the publishing house's top contributor, and when they saw him coming, everyone was extremely enthusiastic.

"Mr. Gu, please sit down for a moment and drink some tea. I'll call Mr. Yu over."

The front desk greeted Gu Cheng to sit down in the living room and gave him a cup of hot tea. Yu Qi is a tea culture lover, so when it comes to getting up and down, the best drink for the publishing house to entertain guests is tea, and the same goes for the front desk to entertain guests.

Has its own set of standards.

If someone comes to ask for help, the tea will only be worthy of the broken tea leaves. If it is an ordinary partner, the tea will only be the kind that is commonly circulated in the market.

When it was Gu Cheng's turn, the tea was also upgraded to high-grade tea, which was used to entertain the CEOs of various companies, as well as Yu Qi himself who often drank high-grade tea.

Gu Cheng nodded, picked up the tea cup in front of him, blew the hot air gently, and then tasted it in small sips. High-end tea leaves give people a different feeling. Good tea leaves are more fragrant and more mellow than ordinary tea leaves.

.

"Mr. Gu Cheng, can you sign your autograph for me? I am a fan of your books. "Murder on the Orient Express" is really great. It can be said to be the best mystery novel in recent years. There is also a new work "No Survivors"

"It's not bad. When I was proofreading, I felt like I was breaking out in a cold sweat."

A staff member of a publishing house first looked at the front desk staff who had disappeared into the corridor. He quickly took a book from his desk and looked at Gu Cheng with admiration in his eyes.

If you want to talk about the advantages of working in a publishing house, it is that you can meet your favorite authors and get a glimpse of new works that have not yet been circulated on the market.

Although Gu Cheng is now a somewhat famous writer, he has never experienced encounters with book fans in public places, so when he heard the other party's words, he was surprised at first, and his face was full of smiles.

"Of course, do you have a pen? Where do you sign?"

The staff member immediately handed over the book in his hand. This was a copy of "Murder on the Orient Express" with a special number. It could be seen from the pages of some volumes that the owner of this book must have read it many times.

And it is often held in hand, otherwise the preservation level will definitely be much better than it is now.

Special numbers are usually given to insiders as souvenirs. Compared with the ones circulating on the market, there are not many differences except for a series of numbers on the title page.

The meaning of this series of numbers is that this is the number of copies of this book officially printed by the printing house. The copy in hand now is the twenty-first. The first twenty copies were sent to the author himself, so it seems

The status of the staff in the publishing house is not low, and they can get such a high-ranking number.

Thinking of this, Gu Cheng couldn't help but raise his head and glance at the other person. He had gold-rimmed glasses and was about 25 or 26 years old. He looked like an intern.

Don't think that these special numbers are meaningless, because they are slightly different from the books circulating on the market. When Gu Cheng's status in the literary world rises in the future, he will definitely become the target of many collectors.

For example, Mr. Tolkien in his previous life had a great status in the European literary world and had many fans. The numbered versions of "The Silmarillion" and "The Lord of the Rings" can basically be sold for hundreds of thousands.

The price in U.S. dollars, if it were a manuscript, would be several times higher.

Scarce things can always become extremely expensive with the passage of time and the rarity of their existence.
