In '86, there were more than 3,000 bookstores rented by the start-up publishing company. Moreover, these stores generally operate library-level stores with an area of more than 300 square meters.

On average, a rented bookstore purchases 100,000 books from the head office in a year, which can support the group company to distribute more than 300 million books in China a year.

Relying on the advantages of a huge network of physical rental bookstores, New Venture Publishing Group is unique in the field of domestic and comic publishing. Other publishing houses, whether they are large national publishing houses or provincial and local publishing houses, can only look up to this behemoth compared with new start-up publishing companies.

Fortunately, the Xinye Publishing Group Company has not touched the larger science, education, culture, and health publishing market, nor has it touched the traditional newspaper and periodical market. At the same time, the publication of serious literature will also be rejected by the New Venture Publishing Group, not because traditional writers are not good at writing, but only because of some themes, which does not conform to the positioning of the New Venture Publishing Group.

It is precisely because of the huge channel advantages that New Venture Publishing Group has developed 20 million users, all of whom have registered library cards with their real names.

A large number of readers borrowed books, many of whom had dreams of literary publishing, and actively contributed to new start-up publishing companies.

Of course, in the spirit of being responsible for the company, some branches of part-time review editors will reject more than half of the submissions. Most of the rejection reasons are too bad, and even the manuscripts that do not reach the level of high-scoring works in primary school will naturally be intercepted quickly to avoid wasting the time of the company's official editors and the time of the contributors themselves.

Of course, there are also some manuscripts that are too well written, which will be sent to the editor's office, and eventually rejected because they are too well written to meet the company's requirements!

For example, Mo Yan, who encountered rejection, encountered a situation where the manuscript was too good, so it was rejected!

"Editor Zhao, what's wrong with what I wrote?" Mo Yan looked at the young man in front of him with a resentful face.

"It's not bad! Your level, among the more than 5,000 writers signed by our company, is already at the top level, and some well-known literary awards are no problem for you to be awarded. Editor Zhao said earnestly, "If I were the editor of another publishing company, most of them would accept your manuscript! However, we really don't want this kind of manuscript from our new venture publishing group company!"

"Why?" Mo Yan was puzzled.

Editor Zhao explained in more detail: "Let's put it this way, among the four famous works of ancient times, we will definitely accept the other three, if someone votes for a "Dream of Red Mansions", the other three will become our key works!"

Most of the domestic writers have to take "Dream of Red Mansions", and even gave birth to Red Studies, which specializes in the study of Dream of Red Mansions.

Taking "Red Mansion" as an example, it means that "Red Mansion" also has to be returned, which is to give Mo Yan enough face. To tell the truth, it really has to be literary, modern writers, including most of the Nobel Prize writers, are not worthy of lifting shoes for "Red Mansions"!

"Literary and entertaining, the two are generally difficult to blend. Editor Zhao said, "People who have read your works can only see the literary, and it is difficult to have any entertainment at all." Another extreme example is "Breaking the Sky", our boss's book, basically no literary, a bunch of people evaluate it as a primary school student's writing, but it has a magnificent imagination, and the story makes many young people into the pit after they want to read it. The abuse at the beginning of the thousandth of the length is just to pave the way for the future, which is a best-selling book that novices can easily imitate. Such a work with no literary quality at all, it is only published, and now the total circulation has exceeded 50 million copies. Not to mention, the game adaptation has earned hundreds of millions of dollars internationally. ”

Mo Yan could only be stunned, the book "Breaking the Sky", just listening to the title of the book, felt inexplicable, so he hadn't read it at all.

In addition, there are works that are appreciated by both elegance and vulgarity, and have a balance between literature and art, that is, Jin Yong's. Editor Zhao said sincerely, "The boss is willing to pay a sky-high price of 1 billion Hong Kong dollars to buy Jin Yong's copyright! You know how powerful Jin Yong's works are! If Mr. Mo Yan wants to transform, I think it is a very good entry point to start by imitating Jin Yong and writing Jin Yong's fandom." At this stage, we are widely collecting Jin Yong's works. ”

"Taught!" Mo Yan smiled a little reluctantly, in fact, it was nonsense to let him write about other writers' fandom. After this rejection, it is estimated that Mo Yan will not submit any more articles to the new venture publishing company.

Mo Yan wants to submit his manuscript to the new venture publishing company, also because the new venture publishing company has a high remuneration. Domestic publishing houses do not have a royalty sharing system now, and generally agree on a manuscript fee to the writer after submitting the manuscript. The more formal newspapers in China only give a few to a dozen yuan for an article. As for long-form publishing, it is already a good remuneration to get 10 yuan for 1,000 words, and usually, taking this money is a buyout, and in the future, the publisher will print as many copies as he wants, and will not pay follow-up manuscript fees.

Mo Yan is aiming at the royalty sharing mechanism of the New Venture Publishing Group Company, and is confident that his book will be divided into 10% royalties.

Previously, the media exposed that a writer named Zheng Yuanjie only had a primary school education, but he was praised as a god by the New Venture Publishing Group, with a salary of more than 300,000 yuan in 86 years. His works have also been translated and distributed overseas, and they are selling well in the Japanese market, and it is expected that the overseas share will be received, and the income in 87 years will exceed one million yuan.

The reason why Zheng Yuanjie can get the unimaginable sky-high remuneration in this era is not only because of the best-selling works, but also because of the guaranteed sharing system of the New Venture Publishing Group Company. For some writers with average sales, the guarantee can make chess sustain itself. Best-selling authors are divided according to royalties, and their works can sell millions of copies, and they can get hundreds of thousands of remunerations!

This kind of shocking remuneration naturally makes many traditional writers unable to sit still. Writers like Mo Yan, who consider themselves to be superior in literature, have begun to submit to new start-up publishing companies.

Unfortunately, within a few months of Mo Yan's submission, he received many rejection letters in a row. Last month, the editor replied in the letter, don't vote anymore!!

After Mo Yan read this rejection suggestion, he felt his anger and blood surge, and went directly to the editorial department of the new start-up publishing company in Beijing to ask for an explanation.

As a result, the new venture publishing company sent an editor surnamed Zhao, who spent two hours reading Mo Yan's manuscript, and the reply was still the same as what was written in the previous letter - sorry, it didn't meet our requirements!

Even Mo Yan was rejected, even if Lin Qi knew, he didn't interfere, and he didn't feel much of a loss. After all, taking the entertainment-based route was finalized by Lin Qi.

At present, the new venture publishing group is vigorously cultivating the "great gods" of popular in China, and is also preparing to rely on Jin Yong's collection of papers to lower the threshold for new writers. Let some newcomers with a level be able to be tapped faster!

After rejecting Mo Yan's submission, Editor Zhao returned to his office and continued to read the submission.

Soon after, he was attracted by a thick manuscript - "Nine Yang and Nine Yin", just by looking at the title, you know that this is a work deeply influenced by Jin Yong. After reading it officially, Editor Zhao found that this submission was really a Jin Yong fan. is similar to "Water Margin" and "Dangkou Zhi".

"Dangkou Zhi", also known as "Anti-Water Margin", is to stand on the position of the government and eliminate the Liangshan Caokou. The position is opposite, but there are a large number of Water Margin characters, which shows that hundreds of years ago, there were people in China.

So,Explain the concept of the same people a little.,Jin Yong's manuscripts of the same people.,Soon a steady stream of deliveries were delivered.。

"The sequel to "Heaven and Dragon Slayer"?" Editor Zhao was quickly attracted by this high-quality imitation of Jin Yong's manuscript. There is naturally a gap between the level and Jin Yong himself, but compared with most of the same contributions, this manuscript stands out from the crowd. However, this writer's pen name is simply nonsense, and he is actually named "Jin Yongxin"?

"No, this pen name is absolutely not good!" Editor Zhao said to himself, "Let the writer change the pen name, and this manuscript can be published!"

Historically, in order to gain popularity, "Nine Yang and Nine Yin" really used "Jin Yongxin" as a pen name. The title and pen name of this book are highly imitated, and the level is probably as successful as Jin Yong's original work, and it quickly sold more than 4 million copies in the 90s.

However, a new startup publishing company would not be so stupid as to allow a writer to come up with such a confusing pen name.
