In addition to giving suggestions to Editor Cheng on market research, Xiao Fei also has a way to differentiate risks.

This method is very simple: if the magazine does not want to bear the risk of publishing the "novel issue" alone, it can also cooperate with the publisher to publish the "novel issue" first, and the publisher will share a considerable part of the risk of losing money.

With the golden signboard of the harvest, the vast majority of publishing houses are definitely willing to provide opportunities for cooperation.

In this way, the pressure of harvesting itself will be much less.

However, if it makes money, the magazine can only take a small head, and the big head will be taken by the publishing house.

But this suggestion is the most acceptable for those who want to eat crabs and are afraid of being poisoned.

After listening to Editor Cheng, Editor-in-Chief Xiao thought for a while and said: "I'll think about it again, if it doesn't work, let's have a meeting tomorrow and talk about this matter, so that everyone can speak freely, if you can do it, you can hurry up and start to prepare, to be honest, the pressure on us to publish a long story is really too great, if we can publish a 'long novel special issue' twice a year, it can relieve a lot." ”

"Alright, editor-in-chief."

"Put me here first, let me read it."

The matter seemed to be resolved, and Editor Cheng felt much lighter and walked out of the editor-in-chief's room quickly, only to find that his stomach was grunting and singing empty city plans.

So he went down and went outside to find something to eat.

After coming out, he suddenly thought about whether he would say hello to Dai Houying and ask her to tell Xiao Fei about the communication he had just communicated with the editor-in-chief. He then thought about it, the eight characters have not been skimmed, and if the news is leaked to others so early, if it is not done well at that time, and the face must not look good, he will put it down first.

The next morning, Editor Cheng came to the office early.

Because of something on his mind, his brain was very excited, and he didn't sleep well last night.

But when Editor-in-Chief Xiao came, he saw that her face was also tired, and there were still a lot of red bloodshots in her eyes, it seemed that she had stayed up late.

Sure enough, Editor-in-Chief Xiao said to Editor Cheng: "I came home from work last night and started to read "The Fish Walking on Land" on the bed, look, look, I forgot the time, I kept turning the manuscript over, and when I looked at the watch, it was already more than 4 o'clock this morning, so I quickly squinted for a while, heh-! So sleepy! ”

Editor-in-chief Xiao, who has always paid attention to manners, yawned very out of shape.

"Editor-in-chief, what good manuscripts have you seen? Didn't sleep again, right? You have to take care of your body and don't get too tired. Another editor said.

"Huh! I did see a good manuscript, called "The Fish Walking on Land", written about the theme of the college entrance examination, the author is a child who has just graduated from high school and taken the college entrance examination, the manuscript is in my bag, you all take it and turn it through it briefly, and we will have a meeting later. Editor-in-chief Xiao took the manuscript out of his bag and handed it to the editor.

Several other editors also gathered around and gathered together to read.

They were all curious about how powerful a book written by a child under the age of 20 could be, and the editor-in-chief was full of praise and stayed up all night to read it.

Editor-in-chief Xiao returned to her office, and when she got to work, she called a friend who was the deputy editor-in-chief of SH Literature and Art Publishing House.

"Good morning, Lao Gao!"

"Lao Xiao, good morning, how could you remember to call me so early? Something, right? ”

Editor-in-Chief Xiao briefly said that he planned to cooperate with their publishing house to publish and harvest the "novel special issue", and asked for what kind of opinion the other party had.

She didn't expect that the other party reacted very enthusiastically: "Want to cooperate with us to publish your 'novel issue'?" That's great, it's a great thing, if you do it well, it's definitely a win-win situation, and if you want me to say, you should have published a 'novel issue' a long time ago to gain the appeal of this brand, which must be very popular. ”

After talking about some details on the phone, the two sides agreed to have a deeper communication later.

Editor-in-chief Xiao and his deputy editor-in-chief of SH Literature and Art Publishing House are not people who can make decisions on their own, and they both need to report to the above, but the problem should not be big.

After talking about things, Editor-in-Chief Xiao got up and went to the conference room.

At this time, the editorial department was all there.

Before the editor-in-chief came, everyone was talking about the work "Fish Walking on Land".

As a member of the editorial department of the harvest, they have seen a lot of young geniuses in literature, but they have never seen a 19-year-old boy who can write a long story to this extent.

"This young man named Xiao Fei is really too demonic, the writing is so sophisticated, the words are so concise and accurate, and the feeling of the words is so good that people feel comfortable when they read the sentences in his book."

"Yes, yes, this novel is very well written, and the author's means of mobilizing the reader's emotions are very clever."

"This Xiao Fei is going to be on fire."

"Such a good work should be launched in the next issue of the magazine immediately, and it can't be waited for by seniority."

"Teacher Cheng, where did you find such a freak? Why didn't I have the good life to meet such a good author? ”

When Editor Cheng heard this, his heart was full of joy.

It is also rare to be unanimously recognized by colleagues.

The people sitting in this room are by no means crowded.

When Editor-in-Chief Xiao arrived, everyone quieted down.

There are not many people in the editorial department, only six or seven people, and even if there is a meeting, it will not be serious, and the meeting is actually just an opportunity for everyone to sit together and discuss.

Editor-in-Chief Xiao sat down and first announced the news that Harvest Magazine intends to cooperate with SH Literature and Art Publishing House to publish a "Special Issue of Novels", and invites everyone to express their opinions.

Hearing the news from Editor-in-Chief Xiao, Editor Cheng smiled.

This shows that the editor-in-chief has made up his mind to publish a "special issue of novels", and has made in-depth communication with the Literary and Art Society on this matter, and has reached a preliminary intention.

If the special issue can really be implemented, then Xiao Fei's long-form chu female work will not have any problem being published in the inaugural issue of the "Novel Special Issue", right?

As soon as Editor-in-Chief Xiao finished speaking, everyone present began to discuss.

Some people say that this is long overdue, and that it is definitely good for the magazine to expand its influence by publishing a few more novels every year, and they agree to publish a "special issue for novels".

Some people say, why cooperate with the art club instead of printing and publishing it yourself? Let the literary society exploit most of the profits in vain? You must know that as long as the work is good, it is absolute that the special issue of the novel will be popular with readers, and there is no possibility of losing money.

Others say that the benefits of cooperating with the art club are still great, at least the magazine will not have a cost risk, of course, the manuscript fee must be paid by the magazine.

Although everyone's views are slightly different, everyone agrees to make an attempt to come up with a "novel special number", and if it becomes an instant hit, then then they will get rid of the literary and art club and do it themselves.

Editor-in-chief Xiao is also a happy person, and he made a decision on the spot and immediately began to edit the first issue of the novel.

At the meeting, everyone discussed which works were on the first issue.

Since it is the first issue, it is necessary to launch the best boutique, so as to establish the signboard of "Novel Special Number".

After democratic voting, Xiao Fei's novel was deservedly selected as the title of the first issue of "Novel Special Issue".

After the meeting, Editor-in-Chief Xiao called Editor Cheng to the office and told him that Xiao Fei's short essay could be published in the next issue of the Harvest Journal, and if Editor Cheng asked Xiao Fei to write the essay series Xiao Fei could deliver the manuscript on time and of good quality, he could make a grand recommendation at the same time.

This news is very exciting, and Editor Cheng hurriedly called Dai Houying when he came out of the editor-in-chief's office......
