179. The busyness of editing Zhang Li
Zhang Li has been busy since the last time she got the top writer resource from Gu Cheng, the publishing house. She did not choose to pay a visit rashly, but made basic preparations first so that she would not look amateurish.
I was also running around during this period, because Gu Cheng had already submitted the manuscript of his new book "No Survival" to the publishing house. Due to the limitation that the previous book had just been released not long ago, and the publishing house had become aware of the other party's writing style and
Talent, so I have been delaying the release of new books in order to leave sufficient sales period for the previous book.
Whether it is illustrations, proofreading, final typesetting, or publicity methods for the new book, the publisher has exhausted its utmost efforts and sincerity, carefully considered it countless times, and finally made the decision.
This is also the main reason why the new book has not been released for a long time. Gu Cheng naturally learned about this problem from Yu Qi, but he did not seem very anxious. For now, the copybook and the royalties from the previous Dongfang book are enough for him. The most outstanding one is the copybook.
, after a period of fermentation, the sales volume increased linearly, and the final remuneration made everyone who was mentally prepared couldn't help but be shocked.
Moreover, it has only been six or seven months now, and he has already released two books, which is rare among many groups of highly productive writers.
Moreover, the more high-quality the new book is, the better the feedback will be in the end. He is very clear about his next plan on the literary road. The first book is to make him famous, the second book is to attract book fans, and by the third book
When I write my fourth book, I will try my best to break out of the circle and become a star writer.
When we reach the fifth and sixth books, we have to start attacking to a higher level. This will be a long process, but this arrangement also saves some people's attacks and secret slander.
If we follow this route, everyone will only praise Gu Cheng as a literary genius who was talented when he debuted, and his final achievements are within everyone's expectations.
It's not like that kind of song where you're a monster and you're a master of explosives. This way you'll definitely be attacked and speculated by everyone.
There is a saying that goes, if you are one step ahead of someone, you are a genius; if you are five steps ahead of someone, there is something wrong.
What he wants most is a dull and unremarkable life, so he chooses to present his little progress to the outside world for viewing. This is in line with the image of a literary pathfinder who keeps moving forward.
What Zhang Li has been busy with recently is to personally focus on every aspect of the new book and participate in various seminars. He breathed a sigh of relief until he put all the decisions together.
According to her idea, she would come to visit with new books that had been bound at the factory, so that she could show her sincerity, and she would be empty-handed and have nothing to talk about.
During this period of running around, Zhang Li also read Gu Cheng's first book, as well as the prose in the copybook, and the short stories in the literary weekly. Although he had not met in person, he could feel it from the text.
It turns out that Gu Cheng must be a talented man.
This kind of genius has not appeared in the literary world for a long time. When she learned the other person's age and the identity of his single father, she became even more curious about this unmasked writer.
Early in the morning, after yesterday's heavy rain, the entire city was filled with a fresh and clean atmosphere. She took a taxi from the publishing house and went to the exclusive printing factory of the publishing house, waiting for the birth of her first new book.
As a long-established literary holy place in China, Haohan Publishing House naturally has various matching facilities. This printing plant is one of them. Countless literary works come from it. It is precisely because
For this reason, even the workers in the printing factory seem to have a somewhat scholarly quality.
Everyone is very familiar with this beautiful editor whom we have seen often during this period, so when we looked at each other, we nodded politely and said hello. After all, whoever sees a good-looking person will
Everyone will feel good about it.
"Editor Zhang, is it so early today?"
Yu, the team leader who is responsible for book binding, looked at Ms. Zhang Li and said hello with a smile. Judging from her age, he could almost be the editor's father. The reason why he cared so much about Zhang Li was because he was like her on a regular basis.
He is very polite and will not be treated inappropriately because of the gap in status and status.
"Uncle Yu, aren't you going to finish the binding today? I'm a little anxious, so I came here first. By the way, I'll ask Uncle Yu to help me check out the hardcover version later. I'll take it to the writer for submission."
Zhang Li said his favor, and then handed the drink he just bought to the other party.
"You're too polite. Okay, no problem. You can turn on the air conditioner in the office and I will help you tie it up and move it to the car. It's still a bit hot in the workshop."
Lao Yu looked at Zhang Li's expression and smiled heartily. The reason he likes Zhang Li is not because he often receives such small favors, but because the other person will always think about you. This way of getting along makes it difficult for people to have children.
I feel bad about a girl who respects you and won't look down on you because of the difference in status. Which elder would not like her very much.
"Okay, I'm sorry to trouble you, Uncle Yu."
Zhang Li looked at the people who were still busy and couldn't shirk Lao Yu's concern, so she agreed and came to our office. Because the printing factory and the publishing house belong to the same brand, everyone was concerned about
Her arrival was not too unexpected. They nodded to each other as a greeting, and then continued to devote themselves to their work.
Enjoying the cool breeze from the air conditioner in the office, Zhang Li's originally impatient mood calmed down. She took out her mobile phone, found the number she had marked, and dialed it for the first time in weeks.
"Dududu~"
When the voice sounded, Zhang Li immediately improved his preparations and cleared his voice at the same time, preparing to speak later to leave a good impression on the writer he had never met before.
"Hello?"
Gu Cheng had just gotten up and finished washing when he heard his cell phone ringing. The number was still unknown to him. He answered the call out of curiosity.
"Is this Mr. Gu Cheng? I am Zhang Li, the editor of Haohan Publishing House. Editor-in-chief Yu Qi should have communicated with you before. After that, I will be responsible for your business. I have been quite busy during this period, so I have not taken time off for the time being.
Time, I'm very sorry about this."
"It's okay, it's okay, I understand. By the way, I wonder why you called this time?"
Gu Cheng raised his eyebrows when he heard the other party's identity. He knew from Yu Qi that his editor was a newly hired highly educated person, but he had never met him in person, so he really didn't care about the phone call.
