As a university teacher, the consultant has been in contact with the staff of the publishing house many times, but they are only general acquaintances, and they are not any friendships.

Most of the publishing houses he came into contact with were of the type of educational publishing houses, with a red and professional background, specializing in publishing textbooks and tutorial materials for various schools, and in addition, only some books or autobiographies of famous professors and scientists were published.

Don't look at the consultant as a professor at Shenyong University, but when he leaves Shenyong City, his name will not work.

At that time, Shenyong University was only a second-class institution, and it was not well-known in the country, and most of the students in it were locals of Shenyong City.

The consultant worked for his son for several days and invested in no less than five publishing houses, but as a result, people couldn't look down on novels on this theme at all, and they politely refused.

Fortunately, the editor of one of the publishing houses refused to be consulted, and then recommended another publishing house for him to try.

This publishing house is called the Ming Daily Publishing House, and according to the recommenders, it is the first publishing house in China to be sponsored by a news unit.

Compared with other old state-owned publishing houses in China, the Ming Daily Publishing House, which was established in 1981, is still a young man.

Born in the tide of reform and opening up, Ming Daily Publishing House is a comprehensive publishing house with more inclusive requirements for works, published books in various fields, and is a comprehensive publishing house.

When Gu Zhi went to the Ming Daily Publishing House, which was far away in Beijing, to submit his article, only three days later, he received a call from He Jianping, the editor-in-chief of the publishing house.

He Jianping admires this work, and he can feel the energy contained in it.

Nowadays, new concept essays are just emerging, and youth books have gradually become the mainstream works in the market, and teenagers are a very large potential consumer group.

Wukong's novel with this theme is essentially a hot-blooded youth novel, which is not very attractive to older people, but it can easily pierce the psychology of teenagers and touch their hearts.

It contains a spirit of rebellion against authority and a low, obscure theme tone, which is just right for rebellious and inexplicable adolescent teenagers.

He Jianping judged that Wukong's writing would undoubtedly be popular as long as it was published, so he hurriedly called the author Gu Zhi, fearing that this golden mountain would be poached by other publishing houses first.

But he never expected that the author written by Wukong would be so young.

After repeatedly confirming the identity of Gu Zhi's original author on the phone, He Jianping thought of a group of young writers who had come out of new concept compositions in recent years, and it was not surprising.

Now that the Ming Daily Publishing House has decided to publish Wukong's writing, the next thing is a matter of course.

The publishing house decided to print 10,000 copies of Wukong's book for the first time, priced at 20 yuan each.

Gu Zhi's royalty is 8%, and each book makes a profit of six cents a piece, and after deducting the tax of two cents, you can earn four cents a piece by selling a copy.

Less is less, but Gu Zhi is mainly to make a reputation, and there is no shortage of manuscript fees.

And it adds up, and he believes that Wukong must have written and sold more than 10,000 copies.

Publishing books need to apply for a book number, and the publishing house also needs to proofread, print, and ship, and it is estimated that after a month and a half, you can see Wukong's writing in major bookstores across the country.

Three days later, two contracts from BJ were sent to Gu Zhi's home in Shenda New Village.

After Gu Zhi carefully confirmed the contents of the two contracts, he signed his name and sent them back to the capital.

After the Ming Daily Publishing House has completed the process of stamping the two contracts, it will send another copy back to Gu Zhi, and the two sides will officially sign the contract.

After finishing Wukong's writing and publishing, Gu Zhi started writing again and began to prepare his second book, "Those Years"

This is another well-known youth romance novel, and the adapted movie has also been a great success, and even the theme song of the movie of the same name has become popular all over the country, and it has swept the entire Chinese-speaking circle and even the entire Asian circle.

In recent years, many of the movies in the bend are youth romance films of this type, from what I heard, to those years, and then to my girlhood, it has become popular with batches of young idols, and has also harvested a large number of fans in the mainland.

Let's take a look at the youth-themed movies shot in the mainland, either smoking, drinking, playing cards, abortion, or fighting, promiscuity, and exposing flesh, all of which are shoddy and inferior works.

When did our youth become associated with these messy things!

Among them, the famous representative is the "adolescence" that has aroused the hearts of countless young male students.

Since the heroine Zhao Yihuan filmed her adolescence, she can no longer get rid of her label of exposing her flesh and vulgarity, in addition to becoming the fantasy object of many male classmates masturbating late at night, she was quickly forgotten by the public, and it has not become popular.

Compared with crooked youth movies, these are simply jokes, and they can't even be praised by individuals.

Although Gu Zhi hates bending, he also has to admit that the gap between the two sides in the theme of youth and freshness is huge.

This is a classified market with huge revenue, and the box office potential is endless, and Gu Zhi is writing "Those Years" now to lay a good foundation for this theme and seize the opportunity.

In the future, it is better to create your own little fresh meat idol in the mainland than to create a large number of hidden independent stars with bad deeds and three swords.

Ke Zhendong's children's shoes from Wanwan even did illegal and criminal things, and there were still a large number of brain-dead fans washing the floor for him on the scarf back then.

Chasing stars has reached such an unreasonable point, it is simply brainless.

After making a plan, Gu Zhi began to write hard.

He plans to wait for Wukong to write and publish it and achieve certain results, and then submit the manuscripts of those years to the publishing house.

If the submission is too fast, it does not conform to the rules of ordinary people's writing, and it will definitely arouse the doubts and suspicions of others.

And if the manuscript is submitted later, if the sales response written by Wukong is very good, then Gu Zhi will have more say when he publishes the next book, and correspondingly, the royalties he can get for each book will definitely increase.

Royalties don't make much money, but no matter how small the mosquito is, it's meat.

In his spare time, in addition to writing, he also bought several books related to film and television screenwriters and directors, such as the famous "Sidfield Series" and "Save the Cat", etc., to learn about screenwriters and directors.

Gu Zhi's idea is very simple, first of all, by publishing best-selling books, establish his own reputation, and make himself a new generation of famous young writers.

Then he wrote the script for the film, so as to officially enter the film and television industry.

As for the power of capital, it will not be able to slowly reveal its value until Ali and Penguin begin to exert their strength.

The rice has to be eaten one bite at a time, and the road has to be taken step by step, Gu Zhizheng is accumulating bit by bit in order to achieve his goals.

Time flies, and in the ordinary life, it will soon be late August.

"Dididi"

A familiar and friendly voice suddenly appeared, Gu Zhi put down the "Save the Cat 2" in his hand, and slowly walked to the computer.

In the lower right corner of the desktop, a little penguin was constantly flashing, Gu Zhi clicked on it, and a faint smile immediately melted on the angular face.

"I'm finally looking forward to you!"
