Chapter 102: The Plan for Publishing the "Triple Gate".
"Really?" Yang Zijian shouted in ecstasy.
Chu Nu joked: "Of course." Publishing a book is difficult to say, but it's very easy to say that it's not difficult. For example, if it is published at its own expense, the Municipal Writers Association has such a business, and every year five or six writers raise funds to apply for a book series number, publish a series of books, or go to Xiangjiang, the book number money can be saved, as long as the printing cost is ......."
Yang Zijian's brain "boomed", as if falling from the clouds to the ground, and he couldn't help but glance at her and said: "Then it's better not to publish!" ”
Chu Nu teased him, and then analyzed seriously: "Now domestic publishing houses are not marketized, and there are no media alliances and propaganda channels of their own, they can only publish books by those well-known authors, because their works are often published in newspapers and periodicals, and there are a large number of loyal readers, this is advertising; Or publish student books, because there is no need for publicity at all, and there will be as many schools and students as there are markets in the country; There is also the publication of foreign masterpieces and classical masterpieces, because the masterpieces themselves are brands, and they should not be promoted, and they do not need to pay royalties. ”
Yang Zijian sighed in his heart: Indeed, now the "new concept essay" has not yet come out, the publishing industry has not joined forces with student journals and youth journals, and a new writer has basically no future, so the author of "Triple Gate" must go through an essay competition to expand his influence, so "Flower Season Rainy Season" must be awarded the "Five One Project", the former is with the influence of the magazine, and the latter with the help of the country.
Chu Nu said: "Your fame is not big, your influence is not deep, even if the publishing house really values this book and thinks it has a future, it will not give you much copyright fee, maybe the lowest five percent." Even if I have some friends in the publishing industry, I can't change the rules, are you willing to pay such a low royalty? ”
Yang Zijian thought for a while, and probably understood Chu Nu's plan in his heart, and raised his head and asked, "Then what do you say?" ”
Chu Nu looked left and right, the floor seemed to be dragging a little half, the smell was a little wrong, the room was very stuffy, looked to the right, only to find that Yang Zijian had sat all morning without opening the window, immediately walked to the side of the window, opened the curtain, opened the window, the sun sprinkled on the small balcony outside, a gust of wind blew, so refreshing.
"You are a muse of beauty and intelligence, and you will definitely have good ideas!" Yang Zijian clasped his hands together and looked at her with the cutest gaze, clear as a lake.
Chu Nu couldn't help but stretch out her fingers, pinched the tip of Yang Zijian's nose lightly and said: "Clever and cute, extremely smart, and cunning like a little fox, don't worry, since you have this talent and ideals, I will definitely support you to the throne of 'famous family'!" ”
Yang Zijian felt the warmth and delicacy of her fingers, looking at her slender and plump body, he couldn't help but feel hot on his face, his heart jumped, he is still a mature and thoughtful woman, after all, he also has an adult heart.
Chu Nu sat on a chair next to her, tapped the five fingers of her right hand on the tabletop, and said softly: "At present, you need fame, and keep accumulating fame." Zijian, you have to make great strides to the provincial and national newspapers and periodicals, and write some representative works. It's a pity that the current national essay contest is not very famous, and the content of the competition is so standardized that it cannot create a topic with wide influence. The influence of famous poets such as Gu Cheng in the North Island is related to their deviant life image, such as Gu Cheng, who always wears strange clothes and goes to live in seclusion on a small island in New Zealand. ”
Yang Zijian secretly complained: Gu Cheng's biggest ideal is to live in seclusion on the island with his wife and lover, but this dream could not be realized, and in the end he lost control of his spirit, killed his wife by mistake, and then committed suicide himself.
Chu Nu then analyzed and suggested: "The writing in Nanjian City should be appropriately contracted, don't submit more than a dozen newspapers and periodicals, you will be tired to death, and it is easy for readers to have aesthetic fatigue." It's better to concentrate on two or three and publish a few columns. The style of your local travelogue is more suitable for opening a column in Xiaogu's 'Danxia' supplement, and he has already released an album for you, which means that he affirms your writing and content, and has this intention. Xiao Gu is very introverted, you have to go directly to the newspaper to apply to him, it's okay to be bold and thicker. ”
Yang Zijian immediately said: "Okay, I listen to you, I will go to the newspaper tomorrow to visit the Xiao Drum teacher and apply to him for a column." ”
Chu Nu glanced at Yang Zijian with appreciation, this young man has a firm will and a very strong sense of action, after thinking clearly about the goal, he will do it immediately, without dragging his feet, and then said: "Then it's me, and I also plan to open a column for you." Provincial and national journals have a long review period, and most of them are monthly, and if you submit your manuscript now, it may not be published until half a year later, so you can hand over the student works submitted to the juvenile journal to me first, and I will also open a column for you to publish it......"
"Nanjian Youth Daily and national journals, won't they think that I submit more than one manuscript?"
Chu Nu said with a smile: "It is more taboo to vote for more than one manuscript at the same level, for example, if you vote for me here, and then vote for Nanjian Daily, once it is published on both sides, the impact will be very bad." However, if there are more drafts in the city and outside the province, the impact will be small, and the impact will be small at the municipal and national levels. Of course, if the newspaper and the editor were to be careful, it would reduce the favorability of the author. But I don't care, and that's okay. As for national periodicals, how many city-level newspapers and periodicals there are in the country, they don't read them at all. ”
Yang Zijian stood up, bowed and said, "Thank you, senior sister!" ”
Chu Nu calmly accepted Yang Zijian's thanks, she actually loved talents, regarded Zijian as a younger brother, and really wanted to support him to become a famous writer, and then continued: "After your novel is written on the computer, I will copy a few copies, print a few sets, and first show some famous writers and editors in the province and China, as well as the editor-in-chief and president of the publishing house. ”
Yang Zijian said: "I will write "Triple Gate" as soon as possible. This novel is mainly based on junior high school life, and its content has actually been in my mind all along, but some of the content is a bit deviant, involving students' early love, and some extreme. ”
Chu Nu was very happy to say: "I write essay reviews, and I like works with unique thoughts and real emotions the most, it doesn't matter if I am extreme or one-sided, Lu Xun is not extreme, is the Beiyang government he scolded really useless?" ”
In the blink of an eye, it was almost noon, and Aunt Wang came over and said, "Girl Chu, your grandparents have a party at noon, are you eating here, or are you going home?" ”
Chu Nu said: "Help me cook something light, I'll eat it at home, and Zijian will also leave me to eat." ”
