Chapter 587. Publish a book
The famous writer Zhang Ailing once said, "You should become famous as soon as possible". Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Lin Yi felt that it seemed a little late for him to become famous now. However, it seems to be a bit early compared to many famous collectors.
You must know that Ma Weidu wrote his first book about collecting in 1992 when he was in his forties--- "Ma Weidu Says Tao"; Wang Shixiang only wrote "Ming-style Furniture Treasures" when he was in his sixties, compared with these predecessors, Lin Yi, who is only twenty-four or five years old now, was invited to publish a book, which seems to be really a bit "early".
The female editor from Phoenix Media Publishing House is surnamed Li, named Li Shanshan, 28 years old this year, and has been an editor for almost three years. Nowadays, traditional paper books are affected by e-books on mobile phones and computers, and the sales volume is not as good as before. Therefore, many publishers have found some special themes to publish.
For example, last year's tomb robbery theme was hot, and "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" and "Tomb Robbery Notes" were released, and as a result, they were big sellers. Nowadays, the collection is hot, and there are more and more lovers of old books, so some classic books have been published, such as "Sitting in the Book City", "Forgetting Books", "Walking in the Book Gallery", "Notes of the Dusk of the Book City", etc.; Even some of the older books have been re-translated and republished, including Zheng Zhenduo's "Xidi Shuhua", Tang Tao's "Han'an Shuhua", Chen Yuan's "Shulin Walk" and so on. Unexpectedly, after the publication of these books, they were well received.
The publishing house that tasted the sweetness was "Shandong Pictorial". This publishing house is famous for publishing books, and has signed contracts with famous writers "Zhi'an", "Chen Zishan", "Jiang Deming" and "Xie Qizhang", these four people are known as the "Four Masters of Books" in today's literary world, and you can imagine how influential they are.
As the predecessor of "Jiangsu People's Publishing House", Phoenix Media Publishing House has developed rapidly in recent years, especially in the field of paper media books, and has vaguely become the leader of the paper media. However, the books published by the publishing house are often criticized for being sub-grade or shoddy, because most of the books they publish are online literature and popular literature, and they do not have "high-quality" works like Shandong Pictorial.
But this time Phoenix Media is going to do a big one, and the content is also about the book--- who makes the book talk so popular now, and who to invite to write the book has become a big problem. At this time, Lin Yi appeared and became a headline on the front page of newspapers and magazines, and his violent swiping made him unbeatable for a while and became a figure in the Tibetan world.
Phoenix Media has a keen sense of smell, and immediately thought of the most popular "celebrity effect" in the publishing industry. All celebrities publish books, basically get twice the result with half the effort, and they are very popular. In their opinion, Lin Yi is such a person now, and they have also touched the details of Lin Yi, Lin Yi has done similar book talk shows before, and the show is still very popular.
Famous, and talented, this is simply a good writer that is hard to find. What if Lin Yi was asked to write a book? With such a plan, Phoenix Media immediately formulated a plan to sign a contract with Lin Yi and make him a top book writer.
Li Shanshan is the person in charge of this project, and she is also the editor who signed Lin Yi. Although she knows a lot about Lin Yi, when she saw Lin Yi so young, Li Shanshan was still a little suspicious, what kind of book could Lin Yi write...... After all, not everyone is Han Han and Guo Jingming.
In fact, Lin Yi was really stunned for a while about Phoenix Media signing a contract to publish his own book. But he didn't make a quick decision: do it, why not do it. This is a good thing, and it has been my dream for many years. So after talking to Li Shanshan in detail, Lin Yi let go of her psychological baggage and promised her that she would do it seriously.
Li Shanshan originally thought that Lin Yi would be like many readers, refuse politely, and then get to the point, but she didn't expect him to be so straightforward. Many of the rhetoric that I had planned didn't work.
I thought it was easy to write a book, but I didn't expect the process to be so complicated. Next, Li Shanshan took out the signing contract and let Lin Yi look at it. Lin Yi had never taken over this kind of thing, but it didn't matter, he faxed it directly to Haitang. What kind of person is Begonia, as a strong woman, she has experienced a lot of contracts. After Haitang carefully reviewed it, he told Lin Yi what was unfavorable to him, what needed to be carefully modified, what terms needed to be added, and so on.
This contract alone lasted a whole day, and then Li Shanshan's writing plan for Lin Yi. It is to write this work about the collection of used books in accordance with the requirements of publishing, and the name is also formulated by the publishing house, called "Notes on Taoshu".
Seeing this name, Lin Yi couldn't help but think of the folk "Taoshu Notes" he had read, and felt very kind. Li Shanshan told Lin Yi that all bestsellers are now popular in the "note style", such as "Notes on Tomb Robbery", "Notes on Mountain Residence", etc., the mode of writing books as notes can make people feel very real and improve people's desire to snoop.
Lin Yi doesn't think he's an expert in this regard, since what people say is what they say, as long as the content written is his favorite Taoshu story, then everything is OK.
According to the requirements of the publishing house, Lin Yi first wrote an outline of about 1,000 words of his work and handed it to Li Shanshan for her to bring back to the publishing company for "review". In fact, this is just a form of walking, according to Li Shanshan's words, you can start writing now, and it is better to be faster, because their company will hold a large-scale "new book promotion meeting" after the New Year, and strive to win a place for him to promote the new book at that time. You must know that the new books that can be recommended by Phoenix Media are basically the new books of famous authors or best-selling authors, and Lin Yi is likely to be the only new writer.
Lin Yi doesn't care if the book he wrote can be recommended, after all, this thing hasn't been written yet, and what he has to do now is to avoid those super annoying media reporters while sorting out his thoughts and finding a quiet place to start writing.
But now that it's the New Year, how can there be a quiet place, not only that, but he also received dozens of urging calls asking him to go home early. Come to think of it, it's been almost a month since I came to the capital unconsciously. Even the uncle of the migrant worker went back during the Chinese New Year, so he was embarrassed to stay here.
Therefore, Lin Yi booked a ticket and flew back to Nandu by plane with Lao Cao and Huang Jiaotou.
The media reporters who were still going to interview him might as well do this, and by the time they rushed into the hotel, the legendary property that became popular overnight in the capital had already left. (To be continued.) )
