Chapter 1134: When the vision is tested
Bai Tong and Lan Yin settled Bai Yulong's marriage, and she rushed back to Yucheng without stopping.
She also has an important workshop to attend.
This meeting is a creative seminar in the writing industry, and being able to participate in this conference is a recognition of identity in itself.
Of course, Bai Tong was happy.
First, the seminar was held in Chongqing, which was equivalent to a trip back to her hometown.
Second, she also wants to come to this conference to find suitable candidates and works.
After all, her publishing house and the cultural company she runs here, and she needs more works and more people to join.
It is impossible for her publishing house to come and go and publish only her works.
Of course, those authors who have already achieved fame are naturally cooperating with well-known publishing houses in the industry, and the relationship is extraordinary, and the publishing house treats these as ancestors.
Bai Tong just wants to see if there are any new people, and if there are any new works that are eye-catching.
This creative circle is a very inexplicable circle.
You are famous, it is the publishing house that guards you all day long, I can't wait to take your manuscript to print and publish as soon as possible, as for the quality of the writing, it is so famous, and I am afraid that there is no quality?
But those newcomers who have just come out, even if the works they create are very good, but the general publishing house will not take it over easily, and even if the first and second trials are smooth, the third trial will often be killed. It's not that the writing is bad, it's just that because you're a newcomer, you're not famous, and the publisher is afraid that readers won't sell it and end up messing up.
In this world, Maxima often exists, but Bole does not often have.
Bai Tong bought a plane ticket to take back to Chongqing.
This seminar is only responsible for the accommodation of the participants, but does not include the travel expenses to and fro, and Bai Tong is not willing to grieve himself, so he naturally chooses the fastest and most convenient plane.
After getting out of the car, Bai Tong naturally went home first and visited his family.
Bai Peide was naturally surprised that Bai Tong came back suddenly, this is not a festival, why did Tong Tong come back?
"I'm coming back to see you." Bai Tong told Bai Peide the main reason for coming back this time, and Bai Peide was also pleased.
Bai Tong accompanied his grandfather to go out to eat, and Bai Peide naturally agreed happily.
It's not so much that Bai Tong accompanies his grandfather to eat, but that his grandfather watches her eat.
When a man is old, all his bodily functions have deteriorated, and his appetite is not very good.
Bai Peide looked at her happily throughout the whole process, "Well, eat more, this is what you like, eat more." ”
In his grandfather's kind eyes, Bai Tong also ate with an open stomach.
She is not a picky eater, and she can cook delicious food by herself, but this is naturally different when she eats the authentic food of her hometown.
Then, Bai Tong took his grandfather to her venue to report.
This is actually to spend more time with grandpa.
Grandpa is old, and it is a trip to be able to accompany him for an extra trip.
When Bai Tong went to report, she also made a phone call to her publishing house partner Ye Yunhua.
Of course, Ye Yunhua also knew that Yucheng was going to hold such a seminar.
Unfortunately, he was just a journalist-turned-publisher and would not have had the opportunity to attend such a seminar.
Now, Bai Tong had the opportunity to participate and bring him with him, Ye Yunhua was naturally happy.
Soon, Ye Yunhua changed into formal clothes and rushed here.
These are old acquaintances with grandpa, and they don't see each other, and they greet each other.
Bai Tong put the topic into the business in a few clicks, "This trip, in addition to brushing your face, and the relationship with these industry bigwigs, the most important thing is to see if there are any new stars, whether there are any new works, and sign the work before others become famous." ”
Ye Yunhua was a little surprised by Bai Tong's courage when he heard this.
It's not easy to sign the copyright of a work before someone else is famous.
I don't look at the big publishing houses, they only revolve around those famous writers, and no one dares to bet on a newcomer, right?
Of course, there are exceptions, there are little-known newcomers, who are vigorously published and distributed as soon as they come.
But this kind of newcomers, generally have backgrounds, such as their parents, they are all people in this circle, with backgrounds and resources, and they can be published smoothly by relying on the relationship between their parents.
But this kind of is a flash in the pan, and the sales are not good, and most of them pay for themselves.
"Isn't this too risky?" Ye Yunhua asked.
"That's when you test your vision." Bai Tong smiled and replied, "Back then, you could have eyes to find me, and I believe that you also have eyes now to find the next one." ”
These words gave Ye Yunhua great encouragement.
That's right, back then, he was able to find Bai Tong and personally find the door, so as to form the current partner combination, he thought, it would be a good thing to find a new person.
The meeting will officially start tomorrow, and the people who come to report one after another, the three of them turned around the venue to familiarize themselves with the surrounding environment, and before they knew it, it was evening.
At this point in time, Bai Tong planned to send his grandfather back, after all, the accommodation in this place was not very good, and Bai Tong didn't want his grandfather to suffer.
As soon as I walked into the corridor of the hotel, I was met by a group of people.
One of them is the director of the association who sent a letter of invitation to Bai Tong.
As a director of the association, he is naturally highly respected, an honorary professor at Bai Tong's school, and has a good relationship with Zhou Fengru.
"Hello, Shi Lao." Bai Tong stood aside and greeted this Shi Lao respectfully, "I just turned around, and I was still thinking about when you will arrive." ”
"Hehe, you're early." Shi Lao also didn't have a little arrogance, and greeted Bai Tong.
"Because I'm from here, I should have come early." Bai Tong said politely, "Why don't I do my best to be a landlord and ask Shi Lao to taste our local snacks?" ”
"No, no, no. We just ate outside. Shi Lao refused.
And the assistant who came with Shi Lao also had some slight remarks about Bai Tong's behavior.
He didn't know Bai Tong, just from the perspective of age and identity, Bai Tong was a college student, so he simply regarded Bai Tong's behavior as to curry favor with Shi Lao.
Bai Tong didn't insist anymore.
She is grateful to Shi Lao for giving her such an opportunity to participate in this seminar, which is to express her gratitude.
"Then next time." Bai Tong smiled slightly, and said to Shi Lao, "In short, thank you Shi Lao for giving me this opportunity and recommending me to participate in this seminar." ”
"Where, you have to have the strength yourself." Shi Lao said.
And the assistant next to Shi Lao sounded a little surprised.
He also thought that Bai Tong was a person who curried favor with Shi Lao, but unexpectedly, Shi Lao recommended her to participate in the seminar.
