Chapter 6 Publishing House
"Sister, is that guy really your boyfriend?"
"yes, yes."
The lobby sister nodded without hesitation, and said gently: "The others are very good, and they will definitely take care of you at work, but since you go, you must work hard, you know?" ”
"Good ......"
After getting the positive news from the mouth of the lobby sister, Sun Peng was a little upset, and hung up the phone depressedly.
Although he is not his own sister, but when he heard the news that Sister Lobby had a boyfriend, Sun Peng was still unhappy, no different from other little boys who were "taken away" from their sister. Of course, Sun Peng himself knows very well that this is because after the death of his parents, except for his elderly grandfather, Sun Jing usually takes care of teenage boys, and naturally develops a deep affection, which is no different from his own sister.
If it is replaced by the second cousin Sun Ya, Sun Peng estimates that she would like her to marry out quickly.
Sun Peng, who had completed the soul fusion and accepted all the feelings of the two at the same time, easily accepted this kind of heart plug, and then secretly made up his mind to stare at this guy who wanted to be his eldest brother-in-law! If you think about it, there is an advertising agency that is on the rise, young and rich, and it is still self-made, and such a guy will definitely be tempted a lot. If it's just the boss, forget it, if you add the identity of a sister's boyfriend, Sun Peng thinks that he has an obligation to see this guy die......
"Huh?"
When Sun Peng thought of this, his heart suddenly moved, and his eyebrows raised slightly: "Say...... The eldest sister asked me to go to this company for an interview, in addition to trying to find me a job, will it also mean to spy on that guy by the way...... Tsk, probably not, right? That's not Sun Ya, but the gentle and generous eldest sister, she shouldn't think so...... Hmm, really......"
"Didi! Didi! ”
Just as Sun Peng spread himself out on the dilapidated old sofa in Uncle Ge's posture, secretly speculating whether the gentle and lovely eldest sister had a black belly this time, his equally dilapidated old computer suddenly made two short dripping sounds, which finally freed him from the left and right entanglements.
The message popping up from the messaging app TT reminded Sun Peng that a stranger wanted to be added as a friend.
"Huh? Loyal readers of Condor Shooting? ”
After seeing the information of the visitor, Sun Peng's brows suddenly furrowed.
Many of the authors of online novels in this world also have readerships and the like to facilitate communication, but the problem is that Sun Pengke has never set up such a thing...... In fact, except for the TT number filled in when the real name was registered, and later added an editor of the Shuxiang Chinese Network, no third person knows that this number is the author of the Condor Heroes biography, how did this guy find it?
After a little hesitation, Sun Peng passed the other party's application.
"Hello, is this Mr. Sun Peng?"
After just a second or two, a message from the other party automatically popped up, and then a second one immediately popped up: "I'm Zheng Ye, the editor of Shuxiang Publishing House, it's a pleasure to meet you!" ”
"The editor of the Scholarly Publishing House?"
The identity of the person who came suddenly startled Sun Peng, didn't he mean a loyal reader? How did you become an editor?
But after thinking about it for a while, Sun Peng immediately understood what was going on.
On another planet, China's publishing industry has a strict licensing system, with nearly 600 publishing houses basically state-owned, and only they can apply for a book's ID card - the book number, which is the line of numbers on the barcode on the back cover of the book. But in reality, there are many times larger private publishing companies than publishers, and they do not have the right to apply for book numbers, and if you want to publish books, you have to cooperate with these publishing houses and buy them from them.
To be precise, buying and selling book numbers is prohibited by the state.
The main purpose of this approach is to control the content of publications and ensure that they are in line with national policies and values. It's just that the publishing market without private forces is a pool of stagnant water, so the state gradually relaxed the policy, so that private publishing companies can enter this market openly and honestly, and come to the table from the underground. It's just that in this process, there are many chaos, and Sun Peng has heard a lot of them in his previous life.
But in this world, the publishing industry has very few restrictions.
At the end of the 19th century, when China went to a fork in the road of history, the publishing industry now implements a registration system, but if the publication is illegal, it will be punished after the fact, so it is not so difficult to establish a publishing house. Corresponding to the publishing industry, there are also films, music, etc., and the policies are also very relaxed. And when Sun Peng was reborn to understand the world, he found that China's cultural industry was extremely developed, and it was not at all comparable to China in another world.
In the final analysis, strong economic strength has given birth to a developed cultural industry.
The world of China has the natural soil for a developed cultural industry – a strong national strength, a developed economy, relatively relaxed policies, and of course, the indispensable traditional cultural heritage. Just thousands of years of thick history, how many majestic historical dramas and movies can be born every year? In the entire world film market, Chinese historical films, like American science fiction and action movies, are synonymous with top movies.
It is difficult for a strong country and a backward culture to coexist, at least not for a long time.
In fact, this is the same as piracy, when a country's cultural industry is backward and facing the invasion of foreign culture, it is difficult for the country to have the heart to actively prevent piracy, and even condone it to a certain extent. This is true not only of the Chinese government in another world, but also of powerful countries such as Germany, the United States and RB, and the United States is the grandfather of the piracy industry. However, when their national strength becomes strong and the cultural industry has a certain scale, attaching importance to cultural creativity and protecting intellectual property rights will become a basic national policy, and no country can escape such a process......
Well, that's a long way off.
Shuxiang Media Group, to which Shuxiang Chinese Network belongs, is one of the five famous media groups in China. In addition to literary websites, Shuxiang Media also has publishing houses, film companies, TV drama production companies, record companies, animation production companies, etc., and even a game production company, covering almost all aspects of the entire cultural industry. Shuxiang Publishing House is one of the beneficiaries behind Shuxiang Chinese, so it is not difficult to understand why they can get Sun Peng's contact information, after all, it also belongs to a group anyway, and this benefit is still there.
But......
After these twists and turns flashed in Sun Peng's heart, he knocked down a line of words in confusion: "Editor Zheng, I'm also very happy to meet you." You should be looking for me for the book The Legend of the Condor Heroes, right? ”
After waiting for a few seconds, the other party's reply came: "Yes, Mr. Sun, I personally like the novel Condor very much, so I take the liberty of asking, do you still have the physical copyright of this book?" Interested in publishing this novel physically? ”
"Yo he!"
After reading the other party's words, Sun Peng suddenly came to his senses!
The results of the Condor Shooting were indeed not satisfactory to Sun Peng, and those numbers made him feel very sorry for Jin Dada, and even more sorry for the expectations of his purse. And looking at the current cold and deserted posture of the chivalrous novel section, it may be difficult for the eagle to become popular. But if there is a physical publication, the situation is different, can you not mention it first, I heard that the manuscript fee of the entity is calculated according to the number of prints, more or less you can always get a sum, right?
"Of course, it's all there."
After hurriedly replying, Sun Peng sighed slightly and then wrote: "But since you like this book, you should know that its current results are not good, right?" I'm curious, why would you be interested in such a poor book? ”
"Poor grades?"
Zheng Ye soon sent a series of laughing expressions, as if laughing in front of Sun Peng: "Mr. Sun, I think you may have misunderstood one thing, that is, in the traditional chivalrous novel classification, the results of eagle shooting are definitely not bad!" And our physical publishing is not the same as online novels, and the measurement standard is not simply defined by what you think of as a grade. ”
"Oh?"
After reading this paragraph, Sun Peng's eyes lit up instantly.
