Night.

Han Shi's verbal war with reporters, and the heated debate with the reporter of the "Forum" newspaper, was broadcast by the "Digest" program team as it was, and also took a relatively young name "Hitler and the Turkey".

Although the program "Digest" itself is quite niche and does not have many high ratings, its sharp words still caused a small range of discussions.

"I use my experience as a debater on college campuses for three years to determine that this guy's sophistry is absolutely first-class, and he is like this at a young age, and his future is limitless, well, I feel that the novel should be written well. "-- Nothing wants to fall into the sky

"I agree with Han Gongzi's words, no matter how good the experience is, there is a possibility of mistakes, just like Hitler and Washington, "Pinocchio" has not yet been released, how can it be judged that it must be badly written? In this regard, I support Han Gongzi, but I'm sorry I won't buy it, because I don't want my son to be so sharp. - Kansai Yokoto

"I've also seen the metamorphosis meter before, and I really feel that Han Shi's memory is very good, as if this Russell chicken, there are still many things that can be at his fingertips, I used to think that what Han Shi said was all about the script arrangement, it was fake, how could a fifteen-year-old child know so many things, can it be proved this time?"

Although the show did not have a direct impact on Pikaruf's negative comments about "Pinocchio", it proved from another angle that the ease of use in the Metamorphosis program was not a script.

……

Following.

Magic City Press.

"Mr. Gigi has already agreed to write a preface to the novel "Pinocchio", and according to Mr. Gigi's position in the fairy tale circle, he will surely be able to save a lot of fame. Chang He's face was happy.

Jiji's preface, although it can't sell thousands of copies, can bring a good reputation.

"It's good news, so let's talk about it. Han Shi asked.

Chang He was stunned for a moment and asked, "What do you say?"

"Since there is good news for me, there must be something to discuss with me. Han Shi said.

"Uh......" Chang He couldn't understand Han Shi's logic at all, why there must be something if there is good news, and the key to the problem is that there is really something to find Han Shi.

Chang He sorted out his thoughts and said, "That's the case, there are some problems with the choice of cover. ”

"The cover was a good template that was sent to me earlier. Han Shi said.

Previously, there were three templates for "Pinocchio", one for Ji Ji, one for Han Shi, and the remaining one for the publisher's own stay.

The editor-in-chief said that this cover was a little rough, and the main color tone was green, which was unlucky, so he asked the artist to come up with seven or eight new covers. Chang He said: "I asked you to come this time to see if there is anything you like." ”

While speaking, Chang He had already led Han Shi to the program department, speaking of which, the office of the Demon Capital Publishing House was notoriously small, so it was easy to collide if he didn't pay attention when he walked.

It is also the so-called sparrow, although it is small, it has all five organs, and there is everything in the pantry, lounge, and activity room.

Walk through the pantry and arrive.

Xiao Hou called out the cover alternatives. Chang He only, and then the artist named Xiaohou skillfully called up seven cover pictures from the computer.

The difference between the seven pictures is indeed very big.,Even the style between the pictures is different.,The first one is cute.,And then the second one is exquisite...... Han Shi finished reading all seven pictures.

Chang He looked at Han Shi expectantly, after all, he had discussed and argued with the editor-in-chief for a long time without an accurate result, so he asked Han Shi, the original author, to ask.

"It's all pretty good. ”

Chang He finally waited for Han Shi's answer, and the former was stunned.

"What's the best?" asked Tsunega.

Han Shi said: "The best thing is the content, so just choose a random one on the cover." ”

"Uh......" Tsunega wanted to say something.

"I'm running out of time, so I'll go first. After speaking, Han Shi turned around and left, leaving without giving Chang He a chance to speak.

Looking at Han Shi's smaller and smaller back, Chang He muttered to himself: "Time is running out, and it's not that there is any terminal illness, how old are you." ”

Just as Chang He was muttering to himself, a phone rang, it was the editor-in-chief of the publishing house, that is, the phone of his immediate boss.

After connecting, he hung up after saying a few words and walked quickly to the editor-in-chief's office.

A few minutes, walk to the office, "Puffy" knock on the door.

"The editor-in-chief is me, and I'm in. As he spoke, he twisted the handle and went in.

On the boss's chair, the quiet middle-aged woman is the editor-in-chief of the Magic Capital Publishing House.

"The first few photos of the cover. The female editor-in-chief asked.

Han Gongzi said that the most important thing is the content of the novel, and he is quite satisfied with the seven alternative covers. Tsunega said.

The female editor-in-chief nodded and said: "That's the same reason, then you can decide on it casually, let's talk about more important things, I plan to let "Pinocchio" magic capital pilot sales tomorrow." ”

"Pilot sales?" Chang He was stunned, the so-called pilot sales of novels are similar to the concept of movie screenings, the latter is to let some movie theaters test the water first, while the former is to test it in a city first.

Chang He said anxiously: "Editor-in-chief, "Pinocchio" is not suitable for sale, and now the negative impact on the novel is very great......"

So the board of directors of the publishing house made this decision, if "Pinocchio" can really rejuvenate the lonely fairy tale theme, and can break the doubt with quality, after the magic capital is popular, the whole country will follow, but if the quality is not good, the follow-up national sales can be saved. The female editor-in-chief continued with Tsunega's words.

Chang Heleng said, "But this is different from the conditions we talked about when we discussed the signing with Han Gongzi, we ......"

"First of all, I was very confident in Pinocchio, but the board of directors had doubts about the book's sales because of the recent negative reviews, so I made this decision, and I can't change it. The female editor-in-chief said.

Chang He was silent, he knew that this was true.

"Alright, ready for tomorrow's sale. The female editor-in-chief sighed and said, "Whether it's a dragon or a worm, it's all earned by Han Gongzi himself." ”

……

Han Shi, who got out of the publishing house, came to the roadside stop sign.

"Next, I am going to go to the Huadu Daily newspaper, which is about 1.7 kilometers away from where I am now, and I can go directly by taking No. 387, but I have to go around a mile, and I don't detour by taking No. 7, but I have to go a section. ”

After thinking about it, Han Shi still decided to take No. 7, a ten-minute shift, and waited for a while to get on the bus.

Ten minutes to the station, get off at Wanxin Plaza, and walk to the front for a while to get to the newspaper. >
