There was a lot of noise in the editorial department, and they were all talking about the online signing meeting.

"Online signings? Never heard of it. ”

"What is the way to do it online, is it possible?"

"This kind of signing will not be formal, can it really promote the book well?"

"I don't know, it feels a little whimsical......"

The words that fell into Yiyu's ears were all doubts, she didn't hear a voice of support, most of them had a wait-and-see attitude, but it was easy to understand, after all, there was no precedent for this way, and it was normal to have doubts and disbelief.

The editor-in-chief clapped his hands, "Be quiet, if you have any questions, I will ask Bai Yi'an Bai to explain to you what this online signing meeting is all about, I believe you will understand after listening." ”

"This is the culmination of our thoughtful discussion, and with some other factors in mind, it would be a good idea to integrate it into an online signing."

The surroundings finally quieted down, and they all focused their eyes on Bai Yi'an, expecting him to say a reason that would convince them.

Bai Yi'an cleared his throat and pronounced the words clearly, "The reason why the online signing meeting was proposed by me is not only because of its novelty, but because it also has some more comprehensive advantages: although it cannot be face-to-face with readers, it can accept as many readers as possible online." ”

"During the offline book signing, readers have to spend their precious time running here and have to queue up for a long time, so changing to an online form saves a lot of time and economic costs compared to offline. Readers only need to stay at home and have a computer to attend the book signing. ”

"We send signed books by mail, so that readers can feel that we are dedicated to the quality of our service, except that we will be relatively busy for a while, as long as we choose a good price, there is nothing to worry about profit."

"Because the online signing will not require the rental of space, it will save a lot of high costs for renting space."

“…………”

Bai Yi'an said everything in detail, which made Yiyu feel that it was difficult not to be convinced.

Sure enough, as she thought, the people around her nodded their heads.

"It seems to make sense."

"Then we don't have to run around decorating the venue, we don't have to be so tired."

"yes, it's a bit of a novelty......"

Bai Yi'an looked at the tone that changed from questioning at the beginning to a voice of approval, and nodded with satisfaction.

"I've made a specific plan, and I'll send that document to you later, and everyone will divide labor and arrange it."

"Good!" The crowd responded.

When the crowd dispersed and they all returned to their respective seats, Editor-in-Chief Bai came over and nodded with satisfaction to Yiyu and Bai Yi'an: "Good job, I didn't expect you to not only write good articles, but also have such novel ideas, and the most important thing is that it is novel and not fanciful, but gives a reasonable explanation." ”

"It's always been said that such a young person can have any ability, but today you show me that even if you are just a young person, you have great power, and even more daring to innovate and succeed than the older generation."

"Isn't the editor-in-chief a good role model?" Bai Yi'an said beside him.

"Me?" The editor-in-chief looked surprised.

"You're just as young, but you're already capable of taking the position of editor-in-chief." Bai Yi'an replied.

Yiyu actually thinks so, Editor-in-Chief Bai is young and beautiful, but he sits in such a high position. Compared with Luo Shiyou, a middle-aged man with a big belly, she has been very successful.

Generally speaking, there are two reasons for being young to do high positions, one is to have a very strong back relationship, but to be really capable.

Looking at the appearance of Editor-in-Chief Bai, Yiyu found it hard to believe that she was the first, and she must be really capable.

Unlike herself, she has been in society for all these years, except for the books she got after receiving Bai Yi'an's help, she is almost useless.

I've been a waitress at a convenience store for so long, and I've always been a lowercase writer who writes things that aren't famous.

Compared with Editor Bai, she is a very ordinary person, and it is normal for the people around her to have a good impression of her.

Yiyu understood Bai Yi'an's good impression of Bai Editor.

"Alright, you're busy." The white editor concluded.

Bai Yi'an pulled Yiyu to sit down at the computer desk, "There is a computer here, for you to use, I have listed all the work that needs to be done by you." ”

"Thank you." Yiyu withdrew her hand, feeling a little awkward in her heart, although she knew that Bai Yi'an was just naturally pulling her to lead her to do things, but she still had a strange feeling.

She needs to sign up for a website account and use this online account to communicate with readers on the day of the book signing.

There are many questions and answers that readers may relate to later, and Yiyu needs to write them down so as not to be unable to answer them or need to think too much and waste time.

Some of the questions are as follows:

"Author, under what circumstances did you write this work in the first place?"

Answer: "After personal experience and on-site investigation, the description of the true feelings in the book is written down after I sincerely feel it." ”

"What kind of person is the grandma in the article to you?"

"Pleasant, a lovely old man who took very good care of me."

"In the process of defending your rights, it must not be smooth sailing, how did you persevere?"

"Because it is a work written by myself, I can't tolerate it being plagiarized at will for profit."

Yiyu read some more, but she actually didn't agree with this approach, and the response would feel unreal if it became too copywriting and too official. And it's not easy for readers to be able to choose her and appreciate her.

But she understands that the superficial work still needs to be done, but what is most lacking in modern society is to be careful.

Nowadays, it is difficult for people to compare their hearts with their hearts, and people are a kind of creature who forgets the pain after scars. When you need someone, she is attentive to help, and you may at some point chase her after a "fairy angel"-like figure.

And when you don't need it anymore, or after time has passed, maybe this gratitude will slowly fade, and no one will remember your kindness anymore.

When you reappear in front of them, they probably won't say, "Eh, this is the person who helped me back then." ”

Rather, "Eh, this person should be eager to help without expecting anything in return." ”

This feeling once made Yiyu feel tired and unable to support it.

When she first tried to work at a convenience store, she wanted to do everything well, but because of her lack of experience, she would do things that she didn't notice or made mistakes.

Once, she was settling accounts for a customer and accidentally scanned the barcode twice, which made the total price higher. After the customer found out, he didn't choose to show a little affection: "Do you have a brain, don't be a cashier here if you can't count the money." ”

At that time, she was frustrated for a while, after all, people also have to practice and experience to get better.

Working at a convenience store has become a stereotype in people's minds, as if you just need to stand in front of the desk and scan the QR code to check out and get the job done easily.

They all look down on this kind of work, and in their hearts, perhaps the profession of convenience store waiter belongs to the bottom of society. As long as they have any grievances, they can vent them on such people.

Why human nature is always like this, Yiyu wants to know the answer, but she can't find it, and she can't change even the slightest bit of truth. This sense of powerlessness can create a vicious circle.

Today, he vents the unhappiness he feels at work to another person, and the other person vents it to another person who is working, and so on, and comparing the heart to the heart becomes only a synonym for beauty.

She just wanted to read her book again, and she wanted to extract some strength from it that would give her readers a little bit of strength.

Even if he doesn't have that kind of power at all.

The day of the online book signing is fast approaching, which is not only an attempt at a new approach, but also an extremely challenging thing for their company.

The editor-in-chief summoned everyone to sit together, "Is the initial propaganda in place?" Is not as informed as possible to every reader. ”

"Yes, we have basically completed the promotion of the book, and we have also used various channels to inform readers of our decision." An editor replied.

"These production processes, as well as the methods we have put a lot of effort into them, can be well explained to readers, paving the way for the appearance of the author."

"Yiyu, you remember almost all those questions, when the reader asks questions, you have to react quickly and give answers."

"Clear." Yiyu nodded.

"Editor Bai, your task is to make the story of defending your rights for the cause of literature vivid and interesting, so that readers know how difficult the road is and how worthy of celebration is the success of rights protection."

"Yes, I've sorted it out." Bai Yi'an replied.

With the experience of rights protection as a marketing selling point, Yiyu felt a little surprised, she knew how difficult this road was, and Bai Yi'an knew better than anyone else.

Although it was for the sake of the company's interests and the promotion of the book, Yiyu felt that his hard work had turned into a marketing atmosphere, as if he had changed his taste.

Countdown 3, 2, 1......

The other editors turn on the camera and start the opening remarks before starting to state them.

"Yiyu." Bai Yi'an sat next to her and called her. "Are you ready?"

"Almost, but still nervous."

"It's okay, I'm by the side, ready to help you." Bai Yi'an smiled at her.

Sometimes I really can't tell Bai Yi'an's smile, although it is always so sincere, but Yiyu always feels that it is not real, she feels that such a smile should not be aimed at herself.

Bai Yi'an is like a person who shines under the fluorescent lamp, even if it will dim a little bit because of some frustration, but it will soon return to the light.

Unlike Yiyu who stays in a dark corner all the time, occasionally a beam of light comes in, and it will become even more cringeful and unbelievable.

That light should have been an incomparably warm existence, but in the hands of people who have not been in contact with it for a long time, it becomes so dazzling and heart-burning.

"It's time to speak." Bai Yi'an patted her.

Yiyu woke up from his emotions, "Huh? Are you going to get started? ”

"Yes." Bai Yi'an patted her on the shoulder, trying to transfer her strength.

Yiyu took a sip of water and tried to adjust himself.

"Then we'll start with the first reader's voice."

"I want to ask, how do I get the book 'Wonderful Journey'?"

"Just send us the address and we'll mail it to you."

"Authors and editors, how do you defend your rights?"
