Yu Qi has been extremely busy at work recently. On the one hand, he has to summarize the achievements of Gu Cheng's previous book, and then apply for various awards. At the same time, he also has to hold frequent meetings to discuss the progress of the other party's new book and determine the basic standards, so as to provide the following people with the best results.

The goal of the work.

Applying for awards is the main thing that I am currently busy with. For this matter, all the things of the publishing house have to give way as soon as possible.

After all, it is very necessary for both publishing houses and writers to have honor. It represents the recognition of the public and the affirmation of status in the circle.

And not surprisingly, winning an award also has a great publicity effect on books that are on sale. Literature lovers will be curious to buy and watch the book when they see it has been recognized by the jury.

At the same time, there are many people who are busy with work and do not have time to pay attention to past advertisements. When they buy books for themselves, they rely on the award-winning books every year.

Yu Qi once had a writer who won the title of the best book of the year because of his outstanding literary talent. However, because of his high literary literacy, most people who bought it could not understand the ideas contained in it, so the sales volume

dismal.

However, as soon as the news of the award came out, the sales volume skyrocketed. The original first printing was quickly sold out. At the same time, two editions were rushed to be printed, which were also sold out by book fans in the market.

From the bottom of the publishing house in terms of sales, it has soared all the way to the top ten of the annual best-selling list. This is the power of the award, and everyone can't help but ignore it.

To put it simply, when a writer's work wins an award, it is almost the most important achievement in life. It is not only the gain of fame, but also the gain of money.

Once the major award-winning news is confirmed, film and television production companies will flock to purchase the film and television adaptation rights, truly gaining both fame and fortune.

And because the ecological environment is relatively complete, the copyrights of all works also have a rough price range. This price is not only recognized by the film and television companies, but also accepted by all writers.

For example, the best work of the year is a first-class award, and the price is twice as high as the price of works by second-tier writers in the past.

And some insignificant small awards, such as the annual best character creation award and the best work illustration award, will only add an appropriate price of about 10% to the original price.

"Xiao Wang, come in."

After Yu Qi carefully reviewed the manuscript on his computer, he felt dizzy and complained secretly in his heart.

As the editor-in-chief of the publishing house, all the works that the editor thinks are good will be handed over to him, and then there will be recommendations from the editor-in-chief and the editor. He will be the last step to control. Only after passing his review will the works be handed over to him.

Only then will you officially enter the publishing process.

This is also the basic workflow of the publishing house, so a large part of Yu Qi's job is to review these manuscripts. As a veteran editor who has been in the industry for many years, he already has his own evaluation method. Almost a book only needs a simple

By carefully looking at the editor's opinions and the main writing style, you can determine whether the book is necessary for publication.

Then the staff at the back will rate the book based on the comments from the editor-in-chief and the three editors-in-chief, and finally determine the number of initial prints and publicity level that the book can get from the publishing house.

He had read all the manuscripts in his mailbox today, and was very dissatisfied with the editors there. These were almost two weeks of manuscripts, and there were not many high-quality ones. They were either reusing old themes without changing the medicine, or there was no sales.

Highlight books.

When this kind of book is sold on the market, it would be considered good if it could sell 10,000 copies a year. Although it can bring some profits to the publishing house, this profit cannot keep up with the time and energy everyone spends.

But then I think about it, it’s a normal phenomenon. Editors are also the bigger ones. Nowadays, all the good writers on the market are bound to other publishing houses on a net basis. How can it be so easy for newcomers to get ahead?

There are also some environmental issues. Since entering the new century, the development momentum of writers as a group has obviously been at a disadvantage. According to expert speculation, with future development, young people may rarely develop the habit of reading.

, have been distracted by various electronic products, and the lower-level writers are becoming more and more miserable.

Of course, upper-class writers are almost unaffected. After all, after many years of development, almost every writer has his own fixed book fan group. No matter how the book is written, just seeing the name of the writer can attract people.

Bought by book lovers.

Secretary Xiao Wang quickly opened the door and came in. He was a young man wearing gold-rimmed glasses. He looked like he had just graduated from college. He was also Yu Qi's recently replaced secretary.

The original secretary was assigned to another department for promotion, and Xiao Wang also officially took over his job.

"How is the review process that I asked you to pay attention to last time going?"

Yu Qi pinched the bridge of his nose with his fingers, soothing his tired eyes from watching the computer just now, and asked Xiao Wang on the side.

"Chief Editor, the materials have been submitted to the jury. I personally delivered them to the location. I checked them several times before departure. There is nothing missing, so you can rest assured."

Yu Qi was relieved when he heard what the other party said. This matter is also a matter of great concern to the entire publishing house. After all, since the writer left ten years ago, the entire publishing house has continued to this day without publishing another book.

A contracted writer who can win the title of Best Writer of the Year.

Now that the publishing house finally has Gu Cheng, the person who can turn the tide, the entire publishing house's performance in the last quarter has once again entered the top five of Huaguo Publishing House. If the other party wins this award again, Haohan Publishing House's

Rebirth is even more overwhelming.

It's July now. August is the month that the entire Chinese writers and publishers pay the most attention to, and the annual selection is held in this month.

Moreover, this event is organized under the leadership of the government, and there will be almost no favoritism. If the judges of the conference have an old relationship with the shortlisted writers, they will have to withdraw from the selection of judges.

To ensure the fairness and impartiality of this literary festival to the greatest extent.

The judges are all selected by writers and literary giants who have already completed writing. The competition is entirely based on writing skills, and grades and backgrounds are not considered.
