Jiangcheng Publishing House.

In the editor-in-chief's office, Qu Jiayang was carefully reading the full draft of "The Hobbit".

He was the first person to have the privilege of seeing The Hobbit in its entirety, and who made him the editor-in-chief of the publishing house.

Since yesterday, he has been proofreading and reviewing the draft of The Hobbit.

"Elves, half-orcs?"

Qu Jiayang originally thought that the racial settings of hobbits and dwarves in "The Hobbit" were novel enough.

It wasn't until he read the rest of the content that he realized that there were more racial settings in the book.

That is, the elven race and the evil half-orcs.

"Xiao Junhao's unbridled imagination is too rich, right?" Qu Jiayang couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Truly.

If you don't have enough imagination, how can you come up with magical races such as dwarves, elves, and orcs?

Of course, in this fantasy novel "The Hobbit", the element of "dragon" is naturally missing.

In this parallel world, "dragons" often appear in Western fantasy novels.

The dragon in Qin Junhao's "The Hobbit" is named Smaug.

There is also the Battle of Smaug, but there is a dragon slayer Bard, a dragon and a dragon slayer, among the humans, such a story is very classic, and it is also a fairy tale and adventure, full of thrilling plots.

"Elves have a long lifespan, as if they have a beauty filter, they are as light as swallows, excellent archery, but a little arrogant, and have a deep hatred with the dwarves?

The more Qu Jiayang reads "The Hobbit", the more attractive he feels about this fantasy novel story.

Middle-earth.

It is home to beautiful deep forests, wide rivers, magnificent human town buildings, dwarven underground kingdoms, evil orcs and Sauron, a symbol of darkness.

And, of course, there are the elves who are always fighting against the darkness.

The theme that Qu Jiayang read from Qin Junhao's "The Hobbit" is actually very simple, that is, the confrontation between light and darkness, and then in this context, the fantasy adventure story of the hobbit Bilbo Baggins takes place.

There is also a ring setting, which is also very interesting.

It is very common for children to be able to come up with such a theme as the confrontation between light and darkness, after all, the opposing themes of justice and evil, light and darkness, are reflected in many film and television works, even animation works.

What is commendable is that Qin Junhao was able to write an attractive adventure story in such a pure background.

The most quintessential thing is that Qin Junhao even made up some races other than humans.

It's just amazing.

Qu Jiayang likes the setting of the elven race in Qin Junhao's "The Hobbit".

This is where a genius prodigy is different from ordinary children, his thinking and knowledge have even surpassed ordinary adults.

Knock knock!

Just when Qu Jiayang was immersed in "The Hobbit", there was a knock on the office door.

"Come in. ”

Qu Jiayang rubbed his eyes.

It was Jiang Lin'er who pushed the door in.

"Wife?"

Qu Jiayang frowned slightly, during normal working hours, his wife is in charge of the work of the children's book channel, and she rarely comes to the office to find herself.

Of course, except for talking about the publication of Qin Junhao's "The Hobbit" some time ago, after all, "The Hobbit" was the first manuscript that his wife Jiang Liner took over.

"Did you apply for the publication number of The Hobbit last time?"

Jiang Lin'er asked with a serious expression.

"Yes, just in case. Qu Jiayang nodded, and then asked rhetorically, "What's wrong wife?"

"There's a real need for it. ”

Jiang Lin'er suddenly laughed from a serious expression.

"Chuangwen Publishing House has started there?" Qu Jiayang naturally understood what his wife meant.

Just in case.

What's the need for an emergency?

Naturally, Qin Junhao said it when he handed over the manuscript of "The Hobbit" to himself, preventing Chuangwen Publishing House from publishing "The Magic Empire" during Qin Junhao's recording of "Xia Guo Poetry Conference" and participating in the Xinghai Cup to take the lead in occupying the fantasy novel publishing market.

This really made Qin Junhao right?

"I don't know where Liu Changfeng of Chuangwen got the news, and he knows that Xiao Junhao has gone to Yancheng, so he will make a move in advance, and tomorrow Guo Kun's "Magic Empire" will be officially on sale. ”

"So fast?"

Qu Jiayang's expression was slightly surprised.

The speed of Chuangwen Publishing House is really fast enough, and it will go on sale tomorrow, which means that it has been printed a few days ago.

"It's too fast, I'm afraid we're a little caught off guard, have you finished proofreading the manuscript? Printing, channel distribution and other processes take time, and we may be a day or two later than Chuangwen Publishing House. ”

Jiang Lin'er sighed and said.

"Can't be late!"

Qu Jiayang's face suddenly turned firm, shook his head and said, "It's best to be able to sell it on the same day!"

"Same day sale, then we have less than a day!"

Jiang Lin'er knew that the publishing house could open an accelerated green channel, but this had never happened before.

After all, the publication of a book can be done in one or two months if it is faster, and it can be done in three and a half months if it is slower.

And if this "The Hobbit" is going on sale tomorrow, it will only take less than half a month from receipt to publication, which is simply a god's speed.

"I have proofread the manuscript of "The Hobbit", let everyone be busy, for the final review, the printing department printed overnight, and the channel distribution was immediately contacted, if there are 20,000 copies, first go to our physical bookstore in Jiangcheng, and the network channel is no problem when the book network is there, and if the other sales channels are too late, they will be shipped directly from our side by express delivery......"

Qu Jiayang immediately carried out a series of emergency task deployments.

If it is going to be sold together with "The Magic Empire" of Chuangwen Publishing House tomorrow, then from now on, Qu Jiayang will have to do a series of processes such as final review and proofreading of the manuscript, printing (including book cover production), and channel distribution.

These processes are to be completed within 24 hours.

In fact, the most difficult thing is channel distribution, after all, the publishing house needs to get it to various channels to sell it.

Fortunately, only 20,000 copies of The Hobbit were first printed.

At present, Qu Jiayang can arrange physical bookstores in the Jiangcheng area and Dangshu.com, headquartered in Jiangcheng, as the main sales channels.

If the time is too late, Qu Jiayang can also contact Dangshu.com and ask them to authorize, and after the consumer places an order online, he will send a courier directly from the publishing house.

After all, Qin Junhao's "The Hobbit" is the key publishing project of Jiangcheng Publishing House in recent times.

"Okay, I'll be in charge of contacting the Dangshu Internet Cafe. Jiang Lin'er nodded and agreed with her husband to arrange such a fast track for Qin Junhao.

And the publishing house has the ability to make a book with 20,000 copies appear on the market tomorrow.

This is the heritage and strength of Jiangcheng Publishing House.

After Jiang Lin'er turned around and left the office, she went to contact Dangshu.com.

Qu Jiayang was not idle, and immediately made an email and sent it to the employees of the publishing house.

Then, Qu Jiayang convened various departments of the publishing house to hold a small meeting to make specific arrangements for the printing and publishing of "The Hobbit".

In the blink of an eye, Qu Jiayang's side was very busy all of a sudden.

And Qin Junhao, who was far away in the players' lounge next to Studio 2 of the Yancheng Xia Guo TV Building, was very leisurely at this time.

Still drinking Wang Zai.
