Chapter 151: Invited to Collaborate
In the office building of the Guangdong Writers' Association, in an office, after Wang Yang and Hongyue came up, a middle-aged man sat in the office and worked.
"Xiao Wang, Xiao Hong, you are here."
"Hello Mr. Liao."
"You two, please take a seat."
Before coming, Wang Yang specifically checked the information of Liao Qingfeng, chairman of the Guangdong Writers Association, although the information was all read on the Internet, but he was still very in awe of Liao Qingfeng's identity, but he didn't know what to call himself to do.
The secretary poured the tea, and Liao Qingfeng asked with a smile: "I have also read Xiao Wang's new book "The Code of Tibet", and it is very well written, I heard that 8,000 copies have been sold in Guangzhou, right?" ”
"I didn't expect Mr. Liao to also see my clumsy work, three lives are lucky, three lives are lucky."
"Oh, Xiao Wang, you don't need to be polite to me, Mr. Gu Long is full of praise for your "Tibetan Code", it is indeed well written...... That's the case, I invited the two of you here today, in fact, I want to invite the two of you to join the Guangdong Writers Association, is Xiaohong's pen name called Hongyue? ”
"Yes, Mr. Liao." Hongyue also nodded in surprise, she and Wang Yang both glanced at each other, but they didn't expect that the two of them would join the Guangdong Writers' Association, but the two of them lived in Yanjing, is this reasonable?
Liao Qiufeng said with a smile: "Xiaohong still remember, you once published a book called "Just a Boy and a Youth" in our Huacheng Publishing House? ”
"Oh, of course, I remember that this book was published by me when I was a freshman." Hongyue nodded with a smile hurriedly, she now seemed to understand why she was absorbed into the Guangzuo Association.
Wang Yang curled his eyebrows beside him. He had forgotten about this, Hongyue had actually published quite a few books, and she used to publish one book every year. As for sales, it may be the appearance of selling 10,000 or 20,000 copies.
After the two got together, he also occasionally flipped through the books published by Hongyue, which are basically long romance novels of more than 100,000 words, some are fairy tales, and some are domineering presidents, which can be described as typical popular novels. These books don't actually make it to the big picture.
Liao Qingfeng mentioned this matter, I'm afraid he was also helpless, Wang Yang is on the hi account. Living in Yanjing, even if he joins the Writers' Association, the first consideration is the Shanghi Writers' Association, followed by the Yanjing Writers' Association. In any case, I will not join the Guangdong Writers' Association. Now the Guangdong Writers' Association is nothing more than trying to win over Wang Yang before he joins the Writers' Association.
The Red Moon has definitely become a good point of traction.
"Actually, Xiao Wang, I have also read your urban warm novels such as "The First Close Contact" and "The Days of Living with the Flight Attendant", such books are very marketable in the mainland, and our Huacheng Publishing House wants to sort it out again and help you publicize and republish it."
Liao Qingfeng actually threw out another big condition to Wang Yang, I have to say that this was a sudden capture of his heart.
These two books by Wang Yang are currently best-selling in traditional Taiwo. In mainland English, because Hongyue signed some contracts with Longteng Literature Group. The publishing house of Longteng Group has not made a big move to get his two books, on the one hand, because Wang Yang has indeed offended some people, and the way of publishing has been cut off, and on the other hand, the title of the book has been pinched by the review department, so the request is to change the name all the time.
Coming and going, in fact, although tens of thousands of copies of Wang Yang's two books were published and put on the shelves, they were all sold out, but the reprinting stopped.
Now Longteng Literature Group is completely holding the copyright, and the crazy promotion on the e-book is selling it, and in general, people are too lazy to make physical money, and of course, they may not have much confidence in the two books.
Liao Qingfeng's opening is to directly help Wang Yang solve the title of the book, solve the publication review, save a lot of trouble, and re-operate and publish his two books.
"Teacher Liao, this really makes me feel ashamed!"
"Hey, after the two of you join our Guangdong Writers' Association, we will have more exchanges, as the saying goes, everyone gathers firewood and the flame is high, and if there are any difficulties, the organization will help you solve them."
Liao Qingfeng was so enthusiastic, Wang Yang was already moved when he heard it, and he asked with concern: "It's just that I'm not from Guangdong, and I don't live in Guangdong, so I joined the ......."
"It doesn't matter, Xiao Wang doesn't have to worry too much, after joining the Guangdong Provincial Writers Association, it will not affect you to join the lower-level Writers Association in other regions of China, and if Xiao Wang wants to join the Chinese National Writers Association, we will help recommend it when the time comes."
Wang Yang glanced at Hongyue, and both of them simply nodded and agreed, since no olive branch has been thrown out from other places, joining the Guangdong Provincial Writers' Association will not affect joining other city writers' associations, so why bother.
It's just that Wang Yang doesn't know that when he joins a provincial-level writers' association, other municipality-level writers' associations will basically not invite him, for example, the writers' associations in Yanjing and Shanghi will definitely not accept Wang Yang again.
Of course, if he joins the Hongcheng Writers' Association, the prefecture-level city writers' association in other regions, it will definitely be welcomed, but it is just a small local writers' association, there is really no need to join.
Joining the provincial writers' association is not a casual thing, Wang Yang and Hongyue filled in and handed in some information here on the same day, and the provincial writers' association will hold a meeting to discuss, and then it will be announced on January 8 next year to announce the selection list, and then a welcome meeting will be held, and after a process, it will be a member of the provincial writers' association.
Wang Yang and Hongyue were introduced by Liao Qingfeng to join together, and for a provincial writers' association chairman, his recommendation is basically a matter of 100% selection, and there is no suspense at all.
After the two of them have the identity of the provincial writers' association, it will basically become much easier to publish works in the future, many things, in themselves, are not to look at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha, and the relationship and connections are too important in this society.
Some people will say that Han Han doesn't join the writers' association, and he is not still powerful, but Han Han's father is a writer in the writers' association, and he has to dig deep into everything, and if he just looks at the surface, he will always be a short-term loser.
In the two days of signing in Shenchuan, after Wang Yang understood some of the rules of the Writers' Association, he asked Hongyue speechlessly: "Let's join the Guangdong Writers' Association, don't we have to run Guangzhou many times a year?" ”
"You just found out!" Red Moon smiled and rolled her eyes.
"I'm fainting, and we can't join the Yanjing Writers Association."
"Don't think about it, let me tell you, blood coagulation is also in the Guangdong Writers' Association, and he doesn't live in Yanjing like this."
"How many friends do we have in the Guangdong Writers' Association?"
"I don't know, but let me tell you, there are many, because the Guangdong Writers' Association is the most lively and the most open, if you think about the difference between the south and the north, you can understand why we want to join the Guangdong Writers' Association."
Wang Yang understands almost in seconds, the environment in each province's writers' association is different, in fact, joining in, in addition to the region, it depends more on where the relationship and connections are.
Sure enough, Xueclotting also called and congratulated him on being invited to join the Guangdong Writers Association.
"Blood God, how do you know I've been invited?"
"I recommend it, I don't know yet."
Wang Yang understood now, it turned out that it was recommended by Xuecong. (To be continued......)
