Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
"The April issue of "Children's Literature and Art" needs another 500 copies in our store. ”
"The April issue of "Children's Literature and Art" has another 1,000 copies in our store. ”
……
Xinhua bookstores across the country, other large bookstores, or individual bookstores were collectively out of stock for a while, and the telephones of the "Children's Literature and Art" publishing house were bombarded like never before, and the publishing house had to temporarily open more than a dozen telephones, and the content editors were also requisitioned to answer the phone.
The sales volume of each issue of "Children's Literature and Art" is about 70,000 or 80,000 copies, which means that 100,000 copies of each issue can be supplied.
Editor-in-chief Yao refreshed various forums and microblogs in confusion, but still did not find any clues, the audience of the magazine decided that the main battlefield of their communication would not be on the Internet, she had to look away from the screen, and once again opened the latest issue of the magazine at hand, is it really the credit of these two mice?
Editor-in-Chief Yao's question was quickly answered, and when the 300,000 copies of the magazine were being transported to various places by large trucks, the magazine received several letters, and the envelopes were uniformly marked to be opened by Editor-in-Chief Yao himself.
Editor-in-Chief Yao:
Hello, I am the parent of a six-year-old boy, a fairy tale "Shuke and Beta" published in the April issue of your company's "Children's Literature and Art" is novel, the language is concise and vivid, and the educational significance is profound.
I know that my request will interfere with your work, but I pity my parents and hope that the editor-in-chief will understand, and I was also a loyal reader of Children's Literature and Art when I was a child.
Good luck with the work, thank you again.
An anxious parent
The rest of the letters are roughly the same, all urging the magazine to publish the follow-up chapters of "Shuke and Beta", and it is not uncommon for parents to write letters to the magazine to urge the draft, but no parent has ever expressed such eagerness in the letter that they have even come up with the idea of building a separate book.
In the next few days, similar letters flew to the desk of Editor-in-Chief Yao like snowflakes, looking at the pile of thick envelopes on the table, Editor-in-Chief Yao resolutely launched a call in the work group, all editors, a meeting!
……
"Before the meeting, I would like to tell you a piece of news, the April issue of "Children's Literature and Art" has just been printed with another 100,000 copies, which means that we have published 500,000 copies of this issue, and now the magazine can only achieve this result only Xue Muliang's "Ding Novel", I don't know what you think about it. ”
When Editor-in-Chief Yao spoke, although he tried his best to maintain the dignity that the editor-in-chief should have when he held a meeting, the joy and excitement in the corners of his mouth and eyebrows could not be concealed at all.
The faces of the editors below basically showed similar expressions, because most of the editors here were subscribing to "Ding Novel" openly and secretly, so the hegemony of "Ding Novel" in their hearts has been deeply rooted, although everyone usually ridicules Xue Muliang either truth or falsehood, but everyone has to admit and accept a fact:
Even if it is an empty page book, as long as the three words of Xue Muliang are printed on the book cover, it will sell 150,000 to 200,000 copies.
Not to mention the magazine he edited, not to mention that there are many other writers in this magazine who are extremely popular.
However, now, the magazine they personally participated in editing has reached the height of "Ding Novel", and the excitement in their hearts can be imagined.
"The main reason why the magazine has achieved such results this time is that Yao has selected the manuscript well. An editor couldn't help but pat himself on the back, but because the facts were in front of him, everyone sincerely agreed with this sentence.
Editor-in-chief Yao smiled to himself and said: "This author has already shown his talent in the first submission, I originally thought that this manuscript would cause a certain amount of discussion, but I didn't expect it to cause such a big sensation, let's discuss the issue of parents' letters now." ”
"I think the most important problem at the moment is to grasp the author, I guess after our issue of the magazine goes out, other magazines and publishing houses will rush to inquire about this author. It was Yao's editor-in-chief's most capable subordinate Mai Mai who spoke, "So, now we need to finalize a contract with Liu Jingting, and now we are going to send the remuneration for the last issue, Liu Jingting's "Mangman and Titi" is 300 yuan for the manuscript, my idea is that we don't mail it to him, but directly let our contract editor go to him with the remuneration and the contract." ”
As editors, they are well aware of the importance of a potential author, especially in this era of lack of high-quality literary works, a valuable author will become a sweet spot in the eyes of national publishing houses and magazines.
Editor-in-Chief Yao smiled slightly, and said: "Mai Mai's brain turns quickly, but I have other arrangements for this matter, the day before yesterday I have made an appointment with Liu Jingting's mother to have dinner together tonight, and she will bring Liu Jingting over at that time, before that, Liu Jingting will not meet the person in charge of any publishing house, because he has already asked for leave to go home, and I have already paid the manuscript fee for "Mangmang and Titi", not 300, but 30,000, including the contract deposit for "Shuke and Beta". ”
The editors looked at the editor-in-chief of the first seat in amazement, and the old scheming between the chatter and laughter was really impressive and admirable.
Mai Mai smiled: "I am a little witch, and Yao Bian's courage is admirable." ”
Editor-in-chief Yao accepted her praise calmly, saying: "Our magazine is determined to win this kind of work, don't say that "Shuke and Beta" is our first release, even if it is the first author to be discovered by other magazines, we must give priority to our attitude." ”
No one questioned this sentence, everyone knew the glorious history of "Children's Literature and Art", and everyone clearly knew the government's support for the magazine, so the editor-in-chief was full of confidence when he said this.
……
When the editor-in-chief Yao expressed his ambition to win "Shuke and Beta", another young magazine editor-in-chief was also in a meeting in a top office building in Jianghai City CBD, the editor-in-chief was wearing a white shirt, black trousers, a white belt, a dark watch, from clothes to accessories, all of them are smack-smacking brands, throughout this spacious conference room, from tables and chairs to chandeliers to floors and even curtains, all present a luxurious taste.
The young editor-in-chief looked serious, but spoke quickly: "I don't remember the last time our magazine's sales were caught up by others, I think everyone understands a truth, no matter what, my magazine should not lose, no matter what method you use." ”
A beautiful girl with long hair and thin hair answered: "Mr. Xue, the content of the April issue has been determined except for one of your editor-in-chief's notes, and we have recently focused on the special issue of Children's Day, Jiayou, Luoyan, Adam, and Beihetang are all preparing special articles, so this issue is still the main ant serialization and Dou Shao's column, I estimate ......"
"You estimate," Mr. Xue bluntly interrupted the girl's report and reprimanded: "You estimate, when will it be my turn to estimate, what else is called the content is determined? If the magazine is not sold to readers for a second, the content will not be determined, as a text director, you won't not understand this truth, right?"
Although the girl's face was full of grievances, she still nodded to accept the criticism, and she didn't shed tears yet, I don't know if it was because her heart was strong enough or because she was used to being scolded.
"This issue of the newcomer's article will be taken down first, let the editor get an article by Adam, and inform readers that the magazine will be postponed for three days," Mr. Xue paused for a moment and continued: "Adjust the interview of my new book to this issue, and notify A to come and shoot the cover with me." ”
Mr. Xue resolutely gave these orders, and finally summed up: "If you lose this time, everyone here will deduct 3,000 yuan in bonuses and adjourn the meeting!"
Everyone got up and left, and Mr. Xue clicked on the table and said lightly: "Xiaoman, you stay for a while." ”
The girl who had just reported to work stood by the door with a stack of documents in her arms and looked at her boss.
"Come and sit. ”
"Mr. Xue, if you have an order, just say directly, I have to notify the author to change the manuscript. ”
"If you want to come and sit, you can come and sit, it's a big deal that the magazine will be postponed for a few more days, and you are afraid that readers will not wait. ”
The girl named Xiaoman reluctantly sat down in her seat.
"For so many years, you also know my temper, when I work, I don't talk about personal feelings, especially you and Ah Yin, you two are the two people I trust the most in the company, don't blame me. ”
Xiao Man's face turned slightly pale, and said: "I understand your pressure, and I also know that the magazine loses the meaning of being the first at once, and I don't blame you." ”
Xue Muliang smiled and said, "That's good, you can get busy." ”
……
pushed "Children's Literature and Art" to the forefront of the storm, which made waves at the top of "Ding Novel" and made countless children miss it...... Liu Jingting, a middle school student who single-handedly contributed to these events, was sitting in his room at this time, his two eyes were staring at the screen of his notebook, his hands were moving, and he was tapping on the keyboard, "Seven Swords Under the Heavenly Mountain" had already been written to the end of the sixth chapter: At this time, the warriors under Wu Sangui were all angry, and seven or eight people came out in an instant, gathered in front of Ling Weifeng, and said: "This strong man won Fan Zinc, we have nothing to say." It's just that this sword belongs to our leader Chu Zhaonan, he stole this sword, and came here to show off, not only to win him, but also to cut off other people's weapons, we have to ask for advice, how to say this?"
"Knock knock" knocked on the door three times, and my mother's kind voice came from outside the door: "Xiaoting, have you finished your homework, let's change your clothes and go out with your mother." ”
Liu Jingting promised his mother that "it will be fine right away", and at the same time knocked down the closing sentence of the sixth chapter: "Exactly: the dragon and tiger fight before the feast, and the vassal king is overwhelmed." ”
