[Thank you Aquarius Aiyun for looking at it so carefully, the bug raised in the group, YD will be patched in this chapter, thank you.] 】

Because he slept too much during the day and had a sleepless night, Fang Tianlu was inspired this time and locked himself in his room to write.

When he was creating, time flew by, Fang Tianlu looked up, and the sky was gradually getting brighter, and the hour hand on the clock had unconsciously pointed to six o'clock.

Although the Voice of the World program team required the contestants to live in dormitories, it did not restrict their freedom.

Fang Tianlu plans to go home today, and then go to the 21st Century Experience Publishing House, after all, there is now part of his industry there.

Although I didn't sleep all night, I was still in good spirits.

Take the train to Godaiba and return home.

The family is still the same, but there is one more child, and it is five points more lively.

Fang Yiqiu had a caesarean section, although the world's medical methods are clever and he can be discharged from the hospital in a few days, but now he is also raised at home, after all, he is not in the middle of the qi, and he has to go to the hospital from time to time for follow-up.

The father-in-law still had a straight face: "Now, if you go to the competition, it can be regarded as work, and in these three months, the old woman and I will take care of Yiqiu and her grandchildren, and you can work hard outside with peace of mind." ”

Hearing this, Fang Dawei shouted: "Who wants you to stay and take care of it?" My daughter-in-law, my grandchildren, I can take care of them all the same. ”

Fang Tianlu raised his forehead and sighed, in the past two days that he was away, the two old men must have quarreled again.

Anyway, whether it's a quarrel or a fight, he can't care so far, and now he really has to listen to his father-in-law, get a good ranking on the Voice of the World, and debut three months later to continue to consolidate his popularity and lay a good foundation.

Fang Tianlu doesn't want to be like those anchors and Internet celebrities, who will fall silent immediately after being popular for a period of time.

Although I don't want to be popular, I don't regret that I want to occupy a corner of the entertainment industry in the future.

Glancing at the car in the garage.

This broken car is more than 100,000 yuan, it has been bought for less than a year, it is scarred, and its quality is poor, this face-losing thing, Fang Tianlu is not willing to drive out, the car is not only a means of transportation, but also a person's face, just like a man's watch and leather shoes.

It is very inconvenient to not have a car, it seems that it is necessary to buy a new car, but Fang Tianlu will not use the 800,000 yuan on Fang Yiqiu's side, and if he has any plans, he will have to wait until he gets the manuscript fee for "Journey to the West" next month before putting it into practice.

Now there is no car, so he has to come to Wutaiba Station again and wait for the tram.

When I came to the 21st Century Experience Press, the editor-in-chief and editor-in-chief were in a meeting, and the other staff members looked very energetic, much better than the dull state they were when they last came.

It seems that the publishing house has something to do, and it is estimated that the funding problem has been solved.

As expected, it turned out to be true.

Fang Tianlu was welcomed into the conference room and listened to Fei Yi reporting last week's data.

"Last week we launched a coloring book, with a first printing of 10,000 copies, which sold out within an hour, and then reprinted more than a dozen times, selling 1.2 million copies, bringing in 3 million liquidity, and we expect to sell 2 million copies this week."

Fang Tianlu got a sample book of coloring picture books, which was a whole black and white pattern, which was very similar to the impression of "The Secret Garden".

The book is available in three editions, one is a regular edition, with a hundred paintings.

The second is the 24-color version, which comes with a box of 24-color pencils and costs five times as much as the regular version.

The third hardcover version costs more than a thousand and comes with a box of one hundred and eight colored pencils.

"Most of the people who buy coloring books are young people, the post-80s and 90s are more numerous, the post-00s are ranked third, and the post-70s are close behind, so I think we can continue to launch picture books with different themes......

Fei Yi said that she was very excited, mainly because the Fantasia Publishing House had suffered several failures before, and this time it was finally a big success, as the person in charge, she was naturally excited in her heart.

However, Dongfang Jianye interrupted her: "Let's talk about the picture books with different themes later, this time it was a success, so I wanted to hold a celebration party and invite some of my old friends in the publishing industry." ”

The main reason is that the 21st Century Experience Press has been dormant for too long, and since the sales of the seventh book of Taylor Hugh's "The King's Crown" plummeted last year, many people do not regard the experience press as a thing.

This time, Dongfang Jianye wants to ask those peers to see, he Dongfang Jianye has not yet fallen, and the experience publishing house is still the experience publishing house ten years ago when his father was still there.

After a while of learning about the performance of the publishing house, the meeting ended quickly.

Lisa came out of the print room, still holding a thick tread of printer paper in her hand.

"I was about to call you too, but I didn't expect you to come," now that Fang Tianlu has become Lisa's boss, he is not as restrained as other writers, but more casual, "I have revised the original manuscript of Journey to the West of 200,000 words, I have added some environmental descriptions, and the dialogue has been slightly polished, now it can be almost 300,000 words, can you take a look?" ”

Fang Tianlu took the revised draft and looked at it at a glance.

The spirit monkey was born, apprenticed to learn art, borrowed treasure from the Dragon Palace, made trouble in the Heavenly Palace, and was pressed under the Five Elements Mountain......

The plot has hardly changed, but it is much more comfortable to read.

This is the job of an editor in a publishing house, revising, polishing, and proofreading the author's original manuscript, and it can be said that a good book, in addition to the strength of the author himself, a good editor is also very important.

Because there is a big difference between physical book readers and online novel readers.

If a book is a cup of tea.

A physical book is a pot of tea, and although some people will drink it dry, more people like to savor it.

Online novels are a big cup of herbal tea, just used to quench their thirst, usually everyone will only take a sip, even if you taste it, what can you taste?

On Friday, Fang Tianlu, as a shareholder of Fantasia Publishing House and an important author of Experience Publishing House, was also invited to participate in the Oriental Construction Party.

The party was very upscale.

The venue is a manor in the suburbs of Oriental Jianye, a three-story 800-square-meter villa, with at least 10 acres of large gardens on the periphery.

The people who came to the party were all bigwigs in the publishing industry in Yutai City, editors-in-chief, editors-in-chief, and best-selling authors, writers of literature, novels, comics, and a few photographers who had published best-selling albums.

Looking at these people's faces, Fang Tianlu instinctively didn't like it very much.

Either they are boasting about everything, or they are comparing with each other, anyway, they are belittling their peers and raising themselves.

"Hello, Mr. Fang."

Fang Tianlu happened to be drinking by himself, and casually took two freshly baked cakes to his mother-in-law.

His mother-in-law, Yu Xiaomei, is also a cash cow to the Experience Publishing House, and this kind of celebration party is naturally invited.

Hearing someone call him, Fang Tianlu turned around, saw a short figure, and thought back a little about the more famous people in the publishing industry that Lisa had introduced in the past two days, and knew who this person was.

The height is one meter four, and the sharp chin can frustrate people, the key is to consciously have a physical disability and step on a pair of ten-centimeter platform shoes.

"Contemptible Ding Zhi, the editor-in-chief of Times Publishing House, I don't know if I can talk to Mr. Fang?"

This Ding Zhi, who published a popular novel more than ten years ago, established Times Publishing House with a book, and then got involved in the 'plagiarism door', which is the biggest rival of the experience publishing house among the publishing houses that have risen in recent years.

"Do we have anything to talk about?"

Such a rhetorical question was obviously a euphemistic refusal, but Ding Zhi didn't seem to hear it.

"I heard that Mr. Fang is the author of "Journey to the West", and now "Journey to the West" is handed over to Fantasia Publishing House for publication, you must know that Fantasia Publishing House is only a publishing house established last year, including the editor-in-chief and the editor, there are only two people, I think "Journey to the West", a popular novel, should be handed over to Times Publishing House for publication, in order to maximize benefits."

Fang Tianlu smiled, in the entire experience publishing house, there are only a few people who know that he is the author of "Journey to the West", plus his own family, it is impossible for these people to leak secrets, how did Ding Zhi know?

"How do you know that I am the author of "Journey to the West"?"

This question needs to be clarified.

Fang Tianlu is now a shareholder of Fantasia Publishing House, if someone from the publishing house leaks secrets, then this kind of person who eats inside and crawls outside can't say that Dongfang Jianye can't let Dongfang Jianye watch it.

Seeing Fang Tianlu's question, Ding Zhi was not surprised: "It's a classmate of your university surnamed Li." ”

A classmate with the surname Li?

When Fang Tianlu was in college, he had several classmates surnamed Li, even some time ago, and he had seen a few surnamed Li, so he was really not sure who it was.

But as long as it's not from the publishing house, or the people around you, that's okay.

"I'm sorry, maybe Editor-in-Chief Ding doesn't know yet, I am now one of the shareholders of Fantasia Publishing House, and my own work will definitely be published in my own publishing house."

This time, Fang Tianlu didn't give Ding Zhi a chance to speak again, and directly refused: "I still have to take care of my mother-in-law and sue me for being unaccompanied." ”

After speaking, he didn't look back, and left the table directly.

Over there, Dongfang Jianye also saw that Ding Zhi was in contact with Fang Tianlu, and he was a little nervous.

If the Times Publishing House offered a high price that Fang Tianlu would not refuse, in case this author who might be able to save the Experience Publishing House was poached, then he would have no place to cry.

Fortunately, Fang Tianlu left with a slightly angry face, and the tension in his heart relaxed a little, and he started chatting with Yu Xiaomei with a smile.

As an old writer, he can be regarded as a personal master, Yu Xiaomei saw her old friend's son, who is also the editor-in-chief of the current Experience Publishing House, and the nervousness on her face also saw that her son-in-law was talking to Ding Zhi.

However, Yu Xiaomei can be regarded as knowing her son-in-law, and she is a child who believes in her word, and now that his interests are tied to the Flower Publishing House, it is impossible for him to devote himself to the Times Publishing House.

Fang Tianlu came over with a cake, saw that the senior's face was not good-looking, and explained with a smile: "That little gherkin, I know from my college classmates that "Journey to the West" was written by me, don't be nervous, the sleeping lion of Experience Publishing House is about to wake up." ”

He called Ding Zhi a gherkin, which is really vivid.

Dongfang Jianye looked at it, Ding Zhi was short and thin, and with those shoes and yellow-green clothes, he looked like a walking cucumber.
