"Oriental Publishing House is now about to face a life-and-death moment!"

After everyone in the editorial department went to the conference room to sit down, Liu Yun came up and directly threw out a sentence that was no less powerful than a bomb: "If we don't make changes, the publishing house will face a loss and go bankrupt, and the staff will be disbanded!" ”

Is there any mistake? Liu Qing was taken aback, and secretly thought in his heart, he wouldn't just go to work on his front foot, and go home after being laid off in a blink of an eye, right? Could it be that you are looking for a job again in a few days?

"Mr. Liu. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Wang Zhigang raised his eyebrows and looked at Liu Yun in surprise, "Our publishing house is still profitable, right?" Moreover, the few books we have released recently have sold well from the market. Just like the author under Mr. Zhao Zhiqian, the sales of the "Decisive Battle of the Front Gate" published last month have increased somewhat compared with the previous period. ”

Zhao Zhiqian's chest was straightened, and a smile appeared on his face.

Liu Yun picked up a piece of information, walked to the side of the projector, and some data was suddenly displayed on the big screen, "According to the latest market rankings, Oriental Publishing House's current scale, strength, and author resources are probably about the thirty-sixth among the forty-six publishing houses in Kyoto. ”

"The average number of books we publish is about 37,000 copies, with the highest single best-selling book at 76,000 and the lowest at 18,000. In terms of market share, we only have a 1.5% share in Kyoto and Keiten, including Bac Rivers Province. ”

Liu Yun looked at Wang Zhiqiang, "Three years ago, our market share was 3.6%, a year ago it was reduced to 2.1%, and this year it is 1.5%. What do you think? ”

"Mr. Liu." Wang Zhigang sighed and said: "Now there are few good books, and there are few good authors, and it is too difficult to sign a good book." And those famous first- and second-tier writers are reluctant to come to our publishing house to publish books. ”

"That's what I'm here for today."

Liu Yun sat down and said lightly: "There are not many good books, and there are many good authors, but you lack vision and innovation." ”

This sentence is cruel enough.

Liu Qing noticed that almost all the people in the conference room looked bad for a moment.

"Mr. Liu, we have been innovating all the time." Wang Zhigang raised his eyebrows slightly, "Almost all of our current martial arts novels are written by our editors who personally point their fingers at them...... By the way, the writer trained by Mr. Zhao Zhiqian is very good, and he has been promoted from the fourth line to the third line. ”

"That's good?" Liu Yun said coldly: "That writer's pen name is Changtian, right?" I've also read his book, what is the decisive battle of the front door, it's nothing more than a change in the title of the book, and the content in it has probably been modified, in fact, what's the difference between it and the Red Hero? Change the soup but not the medicine. ”

The smile on Zhao Zhiqian's face instantly solidified. This long day was excavated by him, and the previous Red Hero Biography and the new book Battle of the Great Front Gate were the works he launched and released.

"Colleagues, that's how cruel the truth is."

Liu Yun knocked on the table and said: "Whether you want to or not, the fact in front of us now is that the influence and market share of Oriental Publishing House are declining, if we don't make innovations, maybe in two years, we won't be able to understand the name Oriental Publishing House!" ”

"Starting from today, I hope that all colleagues will not be rigid in their thinking and limited in their vision when reviewing the manuscript, and if they find a new book with potential and creativity, they can try to sign it."

After a few more words, Liu Yun announced the dismissal of the meeting.

Back in their respective seats, the people in the editorial department didn't have much to work on, so they just discussed it one by one.

"Editor-in-Chief Liu thinks too simply, the market is like this, how to innovate?"

"That's right, the best-selling books on the market are all novels like martial arts and romance, can't we sign some fairy tale books for publication?"

"Changtian, the author, is still good."

Hear what they have to say. Liu Qing shook his head, innovation is sometimes difficult, but sometimes it is simple. It's just that a lot of times, they don't think about it.

Just as in the world he was in before, the two types of novels of martial arts and romance have been popular for decades, and the consequence of this is that not only limited the reader, but also almost limited the author to such a strange circle. There is no way to break free.

In particular, for a period of time after martial arts masters like Jin Guliang sealed their pens, martial arts novels almost fell into the embarrassment of having no successor, until Master Huang of Hong Kong Island was born, with superb writing and unbridled fantasies, he blended fantasy and martial arts together, and re-energized martial arts novels.

On the basis of Master Huang, some Internet writers have opened their brains and brought the word fantasy to the fullest.

But if those novels that are reborn and repaired are taken out all at once now, there will definitely be no publisher who will review and approve them.

The reason is very simple, compared with the current world literature world, those brain-opening online articles are really a bit too advanced.

As the saying goes, a small step forward is to create a new era, a big step forward, easy to pull eggs.

The concepts are all slowly coming out step by step.

Next, it took a few days, through the understanding of the publishing house and the Internet, Liu Qing found that the world was boring, and it was unimaginable.

For example, there are no novel websites on the Internet at all, at most there are a few martial arts novels in some martial arts enthusiast forums.

And in the bookstores outside, the same is true, all of them are martial arts, romance and other novels written by those writers. There are fewer books in other categories, such as documentary and adventure.

It's a whole new piece of land that no one has ever dug up!

"Liu Qing."

In the second week of entering the Oriental Publishing House, Wang Zhigang came to the editorial office in the morning and saw Liu Qing and beckoned to him.

"Teacher Wang, is there something wrong?" Liu Qing walked up to him and asked.

"You've been here for a week." Wang Zhigang nodded and said, "It's almost all familiar, so from this week onwards, you can start working and studying with Mr. Li, Mr. Li is an old qualification in our editorial department, you can learn more from him." ”

Liu Qing nodded. came to Mr. Li's table and said with a smile: "Hello Mr. Li, Mr. Wang asked me to learn from you today and give you a start." He said this very politely.

"Oh."

Teacher Li's age is about the same as Zhao Zhiqian, he glanced at Liu Qing, and said nonchalantly: "Teacher Liu, you are too polite, in my opinion, your level is already very good." ”

What does that mean?

Liu Qing was stunned for a moment, and thought carefully about everything he had done this week in his mind, and it seemed that except for Zhao Zhiqian, he didn't have any conflict with others?

But this surnamed Li is obviously sarcastic about himself, what is it that offends him?
