Chapter 166: What the hell is the Spring and Autumn Publishing House!
Although Su Wen's meager number of followers is not as good as those popular stars, he is also a small celebrity in the cultural world now, and there are not many people who follow him.
Since winning the first place in the National Literature Contest for Middle School Students, his reputation has gradually spread, but at that time he has not yet opened, and only people in Dongguang Province can get the news of him as soon as possible, while people in other parts of the country suffer from no channels for attention.
Later, Su Wen's meager was finally opened, and as soon as he came up, he started a war with Zhou Buping, and the two sides went back and forth on the meager level, and carried out a cultural war, which was very exciting, and with the help of other media, it attracted countless people to watch. It was at that time that the number of people who paid attention to Su Wen's meager suddenly soared a lot.
After that, "Romeo and Juliet" was sold all over the country, bringing him national attention for the first time, and the meagre number of followers skyrocketed.
From scratch, from hundreds to thousands, then more than 10,000, over 100,000, and now, there are more than 500,000 followers.
Although it can't be compared with people of Bai Luofei's level, and there is no comparison with those big stars and celebrities who have more than 10 million fans at every turn, but as a newcomer in the cultural world, it is not less to have such attention.
Therefore, as soon as Su Wen posted a meager message on it, he could immediately attract a large number of onlookers.
As for Su Wen's meager mention of the poetry collection, it is naturally just for publicity and advertising.
In other words, today's Spring and Autumn Publishing House is completely gnawing at the old book, and its publicity and distribution ability is negligible. If the Fresh Culture Company can only spread out the situation in Dongguang Province, then the Spring and Autumn Publishing House is much worse than it, and it can only be tinkered with around Guangdong City.
After becoming the boss of the Spring and Autumn Publishing House, in order to save it and make it his help, Su Wen can be said to be shirtless.
The meager publicity was only his first bullet. Let anyone who is interested in him know that his new book is coming out as soon as possible.
"If Life Is Only as First Seen", the name of this poetry collection was determined after a long discussion between Su Wen and Fang Chengshi, and it was considered from several aspects.
First of all, this sentence appeared in the "Magnolia Flower Order" written by Su Wen, which was regarded as a classic of words and sentences in the new era and had a wide influence. Taking this poem as the main theme of the poetry collection can poke the tears of many literati at once, and greatly improve the style of this poetry collection.
For the future of this poetry collection, Fang Chengshi has his ambitions - he does not expect outrageously high sales, nor does he expect to make a lot of money, as long as he can break through one million sales in a year and a half, keep the existing book number of the Spring and Autumn Publishing House, or slightly increase the number of book numbers, it will be a big victory.
His hopes for the work lie in the literary awards.
Although literary awards also consider the influence of sales, they are more concerned with literature. So, is there a genre more literary than poetic prose?
What's more, most of the poems in this poetry collection, in Fang Chengshi's view, have the potential to become classics, and they are better written than those so-called great poets on the market now, so what is so strange about expecting the recognition of the award?
Secondly. Su Wen is the first literary book to be published with the world. It can also be said to be "only as first seen", which is very apt.
It's also very attractive, and it might even boost sales.
A collection of poems, a total of forty poems - Su Wen did not let Fang Chengshi wait more, and only two days of hard work came up with ten more poems.
This time. It's all new poetry.
Su Wen didn't care about himself, he didn't dare to throw out all the classics, but he just selected some poems of good quality to fill up, and only chose among the two poets he was familiar with. One is Yu Guangzhong, and the other is Xi Murong. Especially the latter. Most of her poems are fresh and lingering, which is most appealing to literary and artistic youth, especially female readers.
To this end, Su Wen selected a number of her poems, such as "Mistake", "Encounter", "Choice", "Youth Without Complaints" and other poems.
If you make up enough ten articles, you will hand them over to Fang Chengshi, although Fang Da editor feels that these poems are not classic enough and is a little disappointed, but they are also above the standard and can be selected into the poetry collection.
The collection works are like this.,You can't expect every one to be a classic.,It's very good to have three or five articles.。 It's like a singer's album, only one or two songs are the main songs, the melody is beautiful, and the others are just a few of them.
"If Life Is Only as First Seen" can have about 20 articles that can be called classics, in Fang Chengshi's opinion, it is already very kind to readers. This is also the source of his confidence in the sales of this work, and he feels that with a little operation, he can use it to save the Spring and Autumn Publishing House's predicament.
The so-called operation, of course, is to publicize it widely so that more people know the news.
Su Wenfa's meager is this purpose, as soon as the news came out, his meager area became lively, and many people shouted to see this poetry collection as soon as possible:
"If life is only as first seen, what is the sad wind and autumn fan...... I still remember the teary-eyed emotions of reading this poem that day, and I also remember the scene when I was very interested in the author and tried my best to search for his information after reading this poem. Now, Su Wen is no longer a nobody, and we have finally waited for his poetry collection. ”
"If Life Is Only as First Seen", a must-buy poetry collection, a must-read literary work!"
"I am from Dongguang Province, and I will definitely support our literary talents! It's just that, Su Wen, I've read most of your poems. Will there be any new works in this poetry collection? I want the biggest surprise! ”
"Su Dacaizi's work is not to be missed! I hope this poetry collection will be released soon, and I want to collect a copy! ”
"I'm going to ...... too"
These supportive comments have been swiped, and of course, there are also words that say it doesn't matter, and you don't necessarily buy it. Others said that if there are not many chapters in the poetry collection, he can still stand in the bookstore and read the book, there is no need to buy it!
Su Wen was very interested in this book, read some reviews, and suddenly found his mistake, that is, he did not name the publisher, nor did he point out the approximate time of the market, let alone say new works to attract people.
To this end, he added a meager message: "If Life Is Only as First Seen" will be published by the Spring and Autumn Publishing House, and will be on the market in about a month, and there are more than ten new works in the poetry collection, which have never been published, just waiting for the poetry collection to be listed and meet everyone. I believe it will not disappoint everyone. ”
As soon as this news came out, some people applauded, some people looked forward to it, and some people checked it and shouted what the hell is Spring and Autumn Publishing House, why have they never heard of it!
People in the industry were also surprised when they saw it. In particular, the practitioners of Dongguang Province, after hearing about the situation of the Spring and Autumn Publishing House, looked at each other and only felt that the three views were completely ruined.
They only felt puzzled, why didn't Su Wen cooperate with Fresh Culture Company? Don't work with Matrix anymore?
Where did this Spring and Autumn Publishing House come from!
Li Xiuying found out that Su Wen was working with a new publishing house, and she was completely panicked.
"Spring and Autumn Press?" She seemed to have heard it somewhere, but she couldn't remember it, but it was certain that her reputation should not be large, otherwise she would not be unimpressed.
Li Xiuying couldn't figure out what Su Wen was going to do at all. Su Wen cooperated with Matrix Culture Company before, and that was because their Fresh Culture Company couldn't take care of two dramas at the same time, so they could only watch Su Wen hand over "A Doll's House" to Tang Ya's woman to operate.
Losing to Matrix Culture Company, Li Xiuying admitted it, but she felt the same as netizens: What the hell is Spring and Autumn Publishing House!
When people check the information of this publishing house, it is said that it is a small publishing house, which was previously a family business. It's all about to go out of business, and now there's a different person to be the president.
The previous president was called Ding Lin. Hearing this name, Li Xiuying frowned slightly, feeling more and more familiar, and then when she saw the name of the new president, she was stunned, thinking that she was dazzled. I rubbed my eyes and looked at it again, and it was still the same name.
Fang Chengshi!
She only knew one Fang Chengshi, who was the literary editor-in-chief of "Yuezhou Evening News".
So who is this Fang Chengshi?
Li Xiuying, who was faintly uneasy, directly dialed Fang Chengshi's phone: "Chengshi, is it you the president of Spring and Autumn Publishing House?" ”
"Uh......" Fang Chengshi's voice was full of shame and panic, and in the end he could only admit it. Be...... It's me. ”
Li Xiuying had a complicated heart and said: "That Ding Lin is the classmate you said before, and the Spring and Autumn Publishing House is his family?" Did he invite you to be the president? ”
"Count...... Sort of. Fang Chengshi could only be vague, not daring to mention that the publishing house had changed owners, and now Su Wen was in charge.
First, Su Wen explained that it was best not to declare to anyone that he was the owner of the Spring and Autumn Publishing House, so as not to cause any turmoil; Second, Fang Chengshi felt a little guilty about Li Xiuying, after all, he was the one who brought Su Wen to win the publishing house, and the most important thing was that Su Wen's acquisition of the publishing house was paid from Li Xiuying's advance.
Without this funding, Su Wen may not be able to get the Spring and Autumn Publishing House. And when Su Wen asked Li Xiuying to advance the payment, Fang Chengshi was at the scene, and he was even silent and did not remind Li Xiuying.
In other words, he acquiesced in Su Wen's behavior, and even aided in abuse, so how could he face Li Xiuying, an old friend?
Li Xiuying didn't want him, and said: "Why don't you leave the position of editor-in-chief and go to a publishing house that is about to go out of business?" To help your classmates? Chengshi, I told you before, if you want to develop in other aspects, you can come to our fresh culture company, I have a position here that allows you to show your talents! Would you rather help your classmates than help me? ”
Fang Chengshi's forehead was sweating, and he could only say: "Now that the wood is in the boat, Xiuying, don't talk about it!" ”
Li Xiuying was silent for a while, and then asked, "How many days have you been going to be the president?" ”
"About three days."
Li Xiuying's tone became more and more displeased: "It's been three days, and you don't squeak with me?" If it weren't for seeing Su Wen say that the poetry collection was published in the Spring and Autumn Publishing House, and I didn't let people check it, I wouldn't have known where you went. You don't even mention it to me when you change jobs, Fang Chengshi, I really have no weight in your heart? ”
"This ...... This, it's not! Fang Chengshi panicked, "It's just that I've been too busy these days to be busy......
Li Xiuying snorted a few times, and then asked, "Su Wen was pulled over by you?" ”
"Sort of." Fang Chengshi smiled bitterly.
"Then we may be competitors in the future." Li Xiuying's voice had an inexplicable emotion, and she was ethereal, "I won't give up on Su Wen's side, it depends on who is clever with you and me!" Don't blame me for not reminding you, your publishing house is really not enough! So be it, goodbye! ”
Li Xiuying quickly hung up the phone, not giving Fang Chengshi any room to speak.
She didn't expect Su Wen to grow so fast, so that their company couldn't grasp it all of a sudden. Li Xiuying, who had a headache because of the Spring and Autumn Publishing House's involvement, soon had an even more headache because of the big move of the Matrix Culture Company.
"A Doll's House" is shocking! (To be continued......)
PS: At the beginning of the crackdown, it is said that the separating symbols should not be used indiscriminately, and most of the actual place names such as Guangzhou and East will be reversed. Shielded words such as micro and blog are also replaced by homophones. Let's curse the evil harmony beast!
