Chapter 51: Advertising

"If the novel is not abusive, readers will buy it?" said the editor-in-chief with a frown, "and respect the laws of the market." ”

This Xu Nianyue argued: "Editor-in-chief, although this is the case, but now there are too many abusive youth essays in the market, and they have become saturated, I think if there is a different type of novel coming out, maybe it can open the market, and it may sell well." ”

"Editor-in-chief, I don't agree with her, this kind of attempt has been tried many times before by our publishing house, but each time it ended in a loss, and the abuse is still the mainstream of youth literature, and now it is also on the best-selling list. ”

The woman in black also spoke.

"Yes, we at the publishing house have to avoid any possible loss. ”

Xu Nianyue was anxious, and for some reason, a sentence suddenly popped up: "There is a possibility of a small loss, but there is also a possibility of a big sale, editor-in-chief, I think this book has value worth trying." ”

The other editors were also surprised, and the woman in black had a hint of mockery in her eyes, and said: "Editor-in-chief, since Xu Nianyue insists, you can take a look at the publication of this book first, and if it doesn't sell, just let her bear part of the loss and deduct the performance." ”

Xu Nianyue was stunned in her heart, and looked at the other party, but she saw the undisguised sarcasm in the other party's eyes!

The surrounding employees are also in an uproar, this request is too much, right?

There is no doubt that as long as Xu Nianyue agrees, the performance deducted from this street book is worth at least one month's salary!

The editor-in-chief nodded: "Xu Nianyue, what do you mean?"

"This ......" Xu Nianyue hesitated.

"You're not sure if it's going to be a big hit, so how can you insist on it being published?" said the woman in black named Linna, sneered.

Xu Nianyue hesitated, she thought of the book.

"A tide called youth drowned us, and when the waves receded, we sat on the beach together soaking wet, watching our favorite girls wave their hands vigorously and happily step towards the other end of life. The next wave will take away the beautiful footprints left by the girl on the beach. But we're still there. The appearance of the girl engraved in our hearts will still be there. ”

Thinking of the sadness and sweetness that story made her, this kind of story should not only be touched by her, but should be worth knowing by others.

"I promise. Xu Nianyue gritted her teeth and said, it's a big deal, just bet once.

Really agreed?

The woman in black frowned.

"Since you insist, let's give it a try. The editor-in-chief was also surprised, and then spoke calmly.

The editor-in-chief, Gu Jianming of the New Literature and Art Publishing House, also released a new book this month. Another employee reminded in a whisper.

As soon as she said this, the rest of the group was in an uproar.

"Gu Jianming's new book will come out this month?"

"It seems to be a sequel to the previous one. ”

"It's over, the rest of the novels are going to be a disaster this month. ”

Gu Jianming can be regarded as a star-level novelist in the current youth literature market, as soon as his novel comes out, it will definitely sweep the market, and for the new books launched with it, because of the squeeze of Gu Jianming's new books, the sales will basically be very poor.

In this case, the books launched together with Gu Jianming's new book are all unsalable, or rather, cannon fodder.

"Most of the books to be released next month have already been decided, and if this batch of books is to be postponed, only three books can be postponed, and two must be released this month. The editor-in-chief's gaze swept over the crowd.

"Editor-in-chief, since Xu Nianyue is so confident, let's just launch "Those Years" this month. Lina continued.

"That's okay, it's decided, Nian Yue, you go and contact the author to see if he has any problems, if there is no problem, sign a contract first." ”

Xu Nianyue only felt a tremor in her heart, she looked ahead, the editor-in-chief was expressionless, but the woman in black before had a sneer in her eyes, and the others were slightly sympathetic.

When the meeting ended, Xu Nianyue didn't know how to get out of the conference room, she sighed, try it, maybe it will be successful.

……

Ren Feng also received Xu Nianyue's contract and notice, the efficiency will be very fast, and it will be put on the shelves for pilot sales in mid-July, and the royalties that Ren Feng can get are 5%, and the rest of the copyrights are still in his hands.

Ren Feng didn't have any opinion on this, and immediately signed a contract with Qianmo Publishing House, and the contract was in the form of mail.

"Mr. Ren, you also need to write a frontispiece, which is equivalent to a self-preface, the content is the motivation for creating this book, or the background and what you want to say, if the self-preface is well written, it can also be regarded as a way to attract readers. ”

"Okay, you wait a minute, I'll write this to you. ”

Soon, Ren Feng wrote the preface and sent it directly to Xu Nianyue, after doing this, Ren Feng no longer needs to worry about it, and the rest is to hand it over to the publishing house.

"Principal, here is the proposed book list, the books required for the three majors that were set before have been listed with reference to the first-line key schools. Su Xuan walked over and handed the printed book list to Ren Feng.

"Give Mr. Zhou a copy, the book list of the Chinese Department is decided by Mr. Zhou. ”

"Good. ”

Ren Feng took the list of books and looked at them, there are indeed many books, in addition to the Chinese books listed before, most of them are film and television majors, performance majors and music academy books.

After reading these bibliographies, Ren Feng frowned, of course there is no problem with these bibliographies, but the problem is the strength of the school.

At present, Nanxing College is indeed too poor, there are no independent teaching buildings for various majors, there are no independent laboratories, there are no badminton courts, and there is no library, not to mention the hardware and teachers, which is completely run from scratch.

Moreover, a major can be divided into three parts: theory, history, and practical application, all three parts are indispensable, and because of the unique mechanism of this world, application accounts for the vast majority of the proportion, and if you need to apply, you must have corresponding teachers and more contacts!

Fortunately, it's summer vacation, otherwise the students who were recruited before will be taught, and they can't be taught at all, many things are not as simple as they think, and the aspects of running a school are outside the school.

While thinking about it, Ren Feng's phone rang.

"Hey, is it Mr. Ren Fengren?"

Inside the phone was an unfamiliar female voice.

"I am, may I ask who you are?" Ren Feng was a little confused.

"That's right, we are here is Levy Clothing Co., Ltd., looking for you, because I saw the poems you wrote on Weibo, I think you are very talented in advertising, so I want to ask, have you ever been exposed to advertising?"

"Advertising?"

"Yes, our company would like to ask you to advertise, if you can reach a cooperation, the cost will not be less. ”
