Chapter 337: Guinness Records, Nobel's Gamble (I)

The "September frenzy" caused by Gu Yongsheng's series of books is still continuing, and both the majority of readers and the entire publishing industry are still silent in the huge shock brought by the three novels "Happy Hero", "Chivalrous Journey" and "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng".

For everyone, this feeling is like taking a boat, just crossing a head-on wave, and now the aftermath is still not stopping, and suddenly another wave is coming.

"This way of publishing books violates almost all the taboos of bestseller operations, the time is too tight, too frequent, fighting with yourself, there is a feeling of throwing all the goods to the market, making a fortune and leaving, no matter which one is a marketing dead end. ”

Lu Yichou said in the Qianhong editorial group: "However, because he is Gu Yongsheng, these problems are easily solved. ”

"But at the same time, when we sent so many books, did we consider the consumption power of student readers, before we were Qianhong, we did a survey, the proportion of Gu Yongsheng's readers, students accounted for a large group, he issued books like this, it will form a situation where students buy books in groups, three or five classmates together to buy books, and then exchange reading, in this way, it will have a great impact on sales, right?"

Vice President Hou Lei continued.

Perhaps, this was his intention. Yi Shui'an suddenly appeared.

"There is this possibility, after "Journey to the West", I think he has quite an attempt to enter the film and television industry, and this intensive shot is a bit like a temporary farewell summary with everyone. Lu Yi said.

"He's not going to leave writing. Yi Shui'an said it categorically.

The editors in the group like to watch the boss chatting the most, because those topics are what they can take out and talk about with friends in other industries.

"Hmm. In any case, the top five bestsellers this year, and even next year, may be contracted by him alone. ”

This kind of calligraphy is unheard of in ancient and modern times. You can apply for the Guinness Book of World Records. ”

Interestingly, when the Qianhong editorial group was discussing the Guinness Book of Records, the "Craftsman Record" editorial group was also discussing the same thing.

"This kind of thing has never happened not only in our country, but also on the whole earth, right?" Chang Youdao said with pride.

"I think I can apply for two records, one is five novels in two months, and the other is five novels on the best-selling list at the same time. ”

"Yes. @ε€εΊΈη”ŸζŸ³ζ€»δΉƒθ§‰εΎ—ε‘’?"

"He and Aunt Qing are definitely not online now, so you can always chat privately. ”

"Hmm. ”

……

At half past seven in the evening, a shot that had been stuck more than 20 times was finally completed. After finishing work, Xu Qing told him about everyone's mention in the group, Liu Jingting thought about it and said with a smile: "If you like it." Then apply. ”

"It's going to be hyped again. ”

"You know. ”

"Go to the group and talk about it yourself. ”

Liu Jingting logged in to WC with a tablet. After roughly browsing everyone's chat history, he said, "Leave it to you to do the Guinness application." ”

"Roger. Chang Youdao, who had been waiting for a reply, replied immediately.

"Thanks, how's the recruitment going?"

"I've got you in private. ”

"Oh, Aunt Qing asked me to come to the group quickly, the other news hasn't been dealt with yet, I'll take a look. ”

Liu Jingting clicked on the Chang Youdao dialog box, and sure enough, he saw his message. There are ten articles in total, and the first seven articles are all about reporting magazines. Eight asked Guinness records, nine said the recruitment of deputy editors, to Liu Jingting's surprise, this position actually attracted the editors-in-chief of three well-known journals and the deputy editors of seven first-line magazines, and the recruitment of intern editors in Article 10 was even more appalling to receive more than 2,000 resumes, including Tiramisu Su Jin.

"Su Jin?" Liu Jingting replied.

"It was her, and she left me a message. ”

"She's applying for an internship editor?"

"Yes, she said that she had resigned from the Yellow River Literature and Art a long time ago, and is currently working as the head of the 'Youth Presence' column in "Reading", and she wants to come back in her dreams, and she is willing to start as an intern editor, well, there is a letter for me to pass on to you. ”

Liu Jingting thought for a while and replied: "Let her come back, according to her request, let her be an intern editor first, what do you think?"

"I'm a little worried, after all, although Mo Zhiyu said that he retired, it is definitely impossible to ignore things, I am afraid of repeating the mistakes of the past. ”

"Okay, let's wait for the time being, I'll take the time to talk to her in person, has the deputy editor-in-chief started talking?"

"The three editors-in-chief are very capable and experienced, but their disadvantage is that their styles are too obvious, and they are resistant to the questions we designed, and have repeatedly hinted that they want to talk to you directly. ”

"Anyone who is unwilling to accept our questions, no matter how good they are, will not be considered. ”

"Hmm. ”

"ALSO, THOSE WHO SAID THEY WANTED TO TALK TO ME WERE ALSO PASSED, AND THE THREE EDITORS-IN-CHIEF ALL DECLINED. ”

Chang Youdao paused for a while, and then replied, "Old Liu, thank you." ”

In fact, when Liu Jingting first proposed to recruit deputy editor-in-chief, Chang Youdao was thinking about how to deal with this matter in his heart, after all, with the influence of "Craftsman's Record", once a recruitment order is issued, there will inevitably be a large number of applicants, and when people who are capable and professional are stronger than themselves appear, should he take the initiative to abdicate and make way for Xian.

However, to his surprise, Liu Jingting actually gave him full authority to handle the recruitment task, that is to say, he could completely dispose of potential enemies when reviewing resumes, however, this idea was just a flash, he would never do it, Liu Jingting treated him as a confidant, how could he return to deceive.

In this way, the editor-in-chief of the three who were not inferior to him in terms of ability and fame were retained, and took the initiative to hand them over to Liu Jingting for final review, as a result, Liu Jingting almost did not hesitate and did not consider it directly, and the meaning contained in it made Chang Youdao unable not to be moved.

"Don't talk this nonsense to me, let alone play any tragic drama with me, you are the editor-in-chief I dug out of the forum, and I watched grow up as a partner, which means that your executive editor-in-chief is lifelong, with the magazine, and if you don't meet this condition, you will be dealt with as a fucker." ”

"I get it, and I have a rough idea. ”

"Okay, you can do this yourself, and in addition, make an appointment with Su Jin. ”

"Go and make sure with her right away. ”

……

As soon as Liu Jingting finished chatting with Chang Youdao about the magazine's recruitment, Wang Hangan's phone called, and Liu Jingting answered.

"Something is going on with aviation safety?"

"Old Willow...... You. ”

"I'm kidding you, the complete works of "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng", you can quote directly. ”

"20 million cash plus floating dividends, twenty-five years. ”

Liu Jingting hesitated slightly.

Wang Hangan continued: "The bottom line given to me above is two thousand five, and we can debate around these five hundred. ”

"Money is fine, but it's too long, let's minus five years. ”

"Isn't it over yet?"

"How can you do business without integrity?"

"I'm totally fine, 100% trustworthy with you, but those shareholders ......"

"It's up to your grandfather's courage. ”

"I promise to convince him, and in addition, Lao Liu, what my grandfather meant, and of course, what we all of us in the ocean mean, that is, when the time comes for us to do the project, you can't sit idly by. ”

"Add that to the contract. ”

"It's a deal. ”

"Horses are hard to chase. ”

……

On the other hand, Chang Youdao quickly communicated with Su Jin, Su Jin said that in order to save Liu Jingting's time, she could go to the crew to visit the fans, and Liu Jingting naturally agreed.

Early the next morning, Su Jin came to the location of the crew and saw Liu Jingting again, Su Jin was even more nervous than the first time he saw him, so nervous that he didn't know how to speak, and he was nervous like a primary school student who hadn't completed his homework.

"Do you want to go back to "Craftsman's Record"?" Liu Jingting got straight to the point.

"I think, I dream about it. Su Jin nodded and replied.

"As for me, I don't have any doubts about you, but other colleagues are worried, so they arranged for me to meet with you, so I asked directly, this time, you are not here to go undercover, right?"

"Huh?" Su Jin's face instantly turned red to her neck, "I ......"

Liu Jingting suddenly laughed and said, "Just kidding." ”

Su Jin looked up at the former boss and felt that he seemed to be more mature and unfathomable than before.

"The 'Lose is Win' ID is you, right?"

Su Jin was stunned for a moment, then nodded in acknowledgement.

"I knew it was you, and I had forgiven you at that time. ”

Su Jin's eyes suddenly turned red and lowered his head.

When the spy incident happened, Su Jin used the screen name of "losing is winning" to tell the whole thing as it was, although the post was quickly flooded by the water army and failed to spread widely, but Liu Jingting happened to see the post, and after reading it, he quickly guessed the identity of the landlord.

"I'll explain to the rest of my colleagues that you're going to leave your job at Reading. ”

Su Jin was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed, and then said more than a dozen words of "thank you".

"Intern editor: Oh. ”

"Well, no problem. Su Jin was overjoyed, and her excitement was unbearable.

"Okay, I'm going to work, you wear this sign, look around, just say hello to me when you go. ”

"Okay. ”

Liu Jingting nodded, then turned around and left, before starting work, he left a message to Chang Youdao: "The person has already met, there is no problem, intern editor first, for a month." ”

……

As soon as the recruitment of "Craftsman Record" was settled, the news of applying for TongguΓ² came from Guinness, of course, applying for TongguΓ² does not mean that the record challenge is successful, but just an invitation to a challenge.

At the same time, the annual Nobel Prize selection has also started as scheduled, and the "Liu Jingting's refusal to promise" incident has caused a stir some time ago, which has made many people pay special attention to this year's Nobel Prize.

Then, everyone paid attention to a very unpleasant piece of news. (To be continued......)
