Chapter 452: This "Four Likes" is very good-looking
PS: I beg you to vote for some recommendation to support it. Thank you
There are two flowers, one on each branch.
Back on December 15th, on Monday morning, Xiao Fei sat in the car and finished reading the newspaper, made the decision to donate all the manuscript fees due to "Brother" published in "Harvest" to "Harvest" magazine, and called Editor Cheng, his heart calmed down a little.
As for informing the media of this news, he felt that there was no need to do it on his side.
"Harvest" will come forward, it will be more appropriate.
At this time, his mobile phone rang again, and Xiao Fei picked it up directly.
Not surprisingly, it was Liu Ze who called.
"Mr. Xiao, where are you? I'll go to you now, okay? Liu Zelai said on the phone.
"I'll go find you." Xiao Fei said.
"That's fine." Liu Zelai was not polite.
Half an hour later, Xiao Fei sat on the sofa in Liu Zelai's hotel room.
"Mr. Xiao, the book "Brother" is selling very well, I am so jealous that I read it, such a good book, not to our own company to operate, but to the writer's club, it should not be." Liu Zelai sat down on the sofa next to Xiao Fei and complained as soon as he opened his mouth.
Xiao Fei has explained to Liu Zelai many times before why he chose to cooperate with the writers' club instead of handing over "Brothers" to Hanmo to launch.
But Liu Zelai obviously did not agree with this explanation. Liu Zelai believes that with Xiao Fei's current energy and Hanmo's influence in the domestic literary circle, it is still very easy to help Xiao Fei run a recommended shortlist for the Mao Dun Literature Award. You don't have to rely on the recommendation of the writer's club.
Ultimately. Liu Zelai believes that whether or not you can compete for the Mao Award depends on the quality of the work. Three points depend on connections and luck. The fame of the publishing house has little effect.
And Xiao Fei's calculation is to fully consider all the factors that may affect his victory.
The cooperation with the writers' club is a foolproof solution.
Liu Zelai opened his mouth to complain. This is to put pressure on Xiao Fei to prevent his next book from being released by other publishers, which is also a strategy.
Xiao Fei naturally knew.
Xiao Fei smiled and said, "Brother Zelai, I came to you this time to hand over one of my new works to Hanmo to operate. ”
"Oh? Is the new work launched under the pen name of the owner of Mengbizhai, or is it launched under your real name? Liu Zelai was overjoyed and asked.
Whether it is Xiao Fei's real name or the vest name of "Dream Bizhai Master", it is now super popular in China. Even if it is a wordless book written, it is estimated that it will be sought after by readers.
That's the benefit of fame.
Hanmo Company is now so prosperous, and the "Sha Seng Diary", "Wukong Biography", and "Ghost Blowing Lantern" series under the name of "Dream Bizhai Master" have made great contributions!
"Notes on Tomb Robbery" is followed by "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", and it looks like it will set off a best-selling boom again, Liu Zelai is now in high spirits!
But Xiao Fei hasn't used his real name to launch works in Hanmo for a while.
Although the works signed "Xiao Fei" "Fish Walking on Land", "Bright Sword" and "First Close Contact" are still being reprinted and sold, the performance is still good.
But Liu Zelai still hopes that Xiao Fei can get his new work signed under his real name to Hanmo for publication.
"Sign me by my real name." Xiao Fei smiled.
"Ah, that's great." Liu Zelai was happy again, "It's a novel, right?" Won't you give it to Harvest first for publication this time? ”
Xiao Fei's new works seem to have been published in "Harvest" first. and then launched a single book, so Liu Zelai asked such a question.
"I don't have to publish it for Harvest this time, I'll write it this time. It cannot be regarded as a pure novel, it belongs to an alternative and personalized interpretation of history. Xiao Fei said.
"Oh! Academic works? Liu Zelai thought of Xiao Fei's identity as a student of the history department of Peking University, and was slightly disappointed.
"It can't be considered an academic work."
"What's that?"
"It's kind of a four-like. Ha ha! Still, I feel like I'm thinking. It's still a lot of fun to write. Xiao Fei explained.
He said as he opened the bag he was carrying. took out the printed draft of the first part of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" and handed it to Liu Zelai.
"This is the first part of this book, there is an electronic manuscript, I have it on the floppy disk, you can take it back later and do it first to do the early promotion or something." Xiao Fei said.
The reason why Xiao Fei chose to launch "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" at this time was because the semester was about to end, and he thought that Lu Zelin had told himself many times that he hoped that he could write some historical works, which could also be counted as credits.
Peking University is a research university.
It attaches great importance to scientific research.
Scientific research is not only the patent of science, engineering and medicine, but also the teachers and students of the departments of literature, history and philosophy also have to do research. The results of research are academic papers.
The higher the level of the journal in which the paper is published, the greater the impact, and the better it is for the writer and the school.
For example, most of the world university rankings are calculated according to the amount of scientific research, that is, the number of heavyweight papers published, and the impact factor of a CSCI paper is as high as dozens of ordinary papers.
Xiao Fei did not study history in his previous life.
Naturally, he didn't have any historical papers in his mind, and it was almost impossible to copy out the famous historical papers after 2000 years in his previous life and publish them.
Therefore, Xiao Fei plans to rely on the book "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" to show his identity as a student of the history department.
Well! That is to say, I want to declare to people: I came to the Department of History of Peking University, and I did not make soy sauce, and I also have some achievements in historical research.
It's just that "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" is not as simple as being able to do it......
It is said that the author was also hated by several moderators of the edition because of this, but the majority of netizens supported Mingyue that year, and for the sake of Mingyue netizens who set off a grand upside down movement, the three moderators of the section were thrown off the horse in one fell swoop.
After "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" moved from Tianya to Sina Blog, it immediately attracted heated attention.
In a short period of time. At that time, Mingyue's blog attracted more than one million IP traffic.
This shows the popularity of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty".
And after the publication of this classic masterpiece, it was also a success, and in just a few years, it created a miracle of selling tens of millions of copies. And that's when piracy is rampant.
In a word. This book is destined to cause a sensation in the whole country and even the entire Chinese world.
In that year, Mingyue was also awarded the title of "the first person to tell folk history" with this book, and gained both fame and fortune.
What Xiao Fei doesn't know now is. Will "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" be regarded as Xiao Fei's own scientific research achievements by the teachers of the History Department of Peking University, and will it be counted as a little more credit.
Because, after all, this book is not a treatise, it is not a monograph, it is a four-like thing. Will the orthodox and rigorous old professors recognize it?
But Xiao Fei can't care so much, anyway, he has already written it, and he will take it out.
Relying on this book, Xiao Fei felt that he could occupy a place in the domestic historical community. It's not in vain that I went to the history department of Peking University once in my life......
Liu Zelai took the first printed draft of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" in his hand.
"Those Things in the Ming Dynasty, the title of the book is very arbitrary!" Liu Ze glanced at the name of the manuscript. Say slowly.
The underlying meaning of Liu Zelai's words is that this book may only be improvised, and it is estimated that it is not a masterpiece.
"Well, this book is just a casual talk about the history of the Ming Dynasty, it's good to be casual, and it's not an academic monograph, so it doesn't need to be so serious." Xiao Fei replied.
Liu Zelai smiled, presumably he thought so too.
He began to flip through the manuscript.
At first, he didn't pay much attention to the book.
But just looking at the beginning, he was attracted by the thick ridicule, humor, and witticism between the lines of the book.
This. Is this the history of the Ming Dynasty?
This opening paragraph describes the first emperor of the ages, Hongwu the Great, his old man? The statement is a bit nonsensical, right? But it's interesting. Looking at it, it makes people smile.
Liu Zelai keenly felt that the market value of the book in his hand was extraordinary.
Since ancient times. There is nothing like this that is easy to ridicule and humorous, and the language is witty and witty!
Liu Ze came to see quickly.
But he also looked very carefully. He saw every word. This is the professionalism he has cultivated over the years as an editor.
The more he read, the more his heart beat wildly. With a knowing smile on the corner of his mouth, he was fascinated. It was the first time he had discovered it. History books are so easy to read.
Not only is it easy to read, but it is also deep and thoughtful.
The characters in the book, with only a few strokes of description, are vividly established, and their personalities are as distinct as they are in front of you.
That's pretty rare.
This fully reflects Xiao Fei's profound writing skills.
Liu Zelai found that although Xiao Fei's book takes a relaxed route, it is still very rigorous in governing history, and what is said in the book is a history of letters with information to be checked rather than a novelist's romance.
This, how much information you have to look up, how many monographs you have to read, and then synthesize the things in those monographs before they can evolve into your own words.
Liu Zelai knows that such a book looks easy, but it is extremely difficult to write.
That is, a ghost like Xiao Fei can write it so easily, right?
In China now, such historical works can almost be regarded as a blank, and the history of such an interpretation must be liked by ordinary people, right?
Liu Zelai thought ecstatically.
The more he looked down, the more certain he was that this book would be a historical classic, not the kind of historical classic for professionals, but a classic for ordinary people to read after dinner.
This is amazing.
When boring history becomes interesting......
Naturally, people will flock to it.
Books that are easy to understand and can increase knowledge are always popular.
Liu Zelai seems to have seen that after the publication of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", readers flocked to rush to buy and read. (To be continued......)
