I copied my daughter in the parallel world

Chapter 147 26. Publishing House Signing Event (ask for subscription, ask for monthly ticket)

Although he is a writer, the characters are not separated. As a writer who grew up in the old society, he also has a basic appreciation for fonts.

Although the copybook is a pen copybook, you can still see the traces of the brush strokes. The owner of this copybook is not only a master of pens, but also the brush calligraphy can be regarded as outstanding.

It even set a precedent. During this period, everyone began to use keyboards or ballpoint pens to write more. Brushes have basically become a hobby for literature lovers. It is really unexpected that such a calligraphy genius came out. .

After reading the fonts, he began to look at the content of the copybooks. According to his understanding of the copybooks, most of the words that are circulated in the market now are step-by-step texts, starting from the simplest one, step by step, practice word by word, step by step , Slowly correct the font and writing habits, and practice good fonts.

However, Gu Cheng's prose type of copybook is really a precedent. This routine, which was a bit of a bad street in the previous life, made its first appearance in this parallel world. It is indeed a bit surprising to the market.

"On the zigzag lotus pond, there are fields of leaves. The leaves are high above the water, like the skirts of a graceful dancing girl. Among the layers of leaves, white flowers are dotted here and there, some of which bloom coquettishly."

Being able to become the vice president of Huaguo's top writers association, plus working in the literature department of Huaguo University, the simple appreciation ability Yan Songbai is still not lacking. After reading a short paragraph, his eyes lit up, recalling After counting the reserves in my mind, I really haven't seen this kind of article, so no surprise, these essays were written by the owner of the copybook himself.

There was a bit of regret on his face. In the eyes of an older generation of literati like him, taking these high-quality prose that can win prizes or be included in textbooks as the content of copybooks is really a bit too overkill.

"Okay, this copybook is very good, dear grandson, you go to do your homework, can you show this copybook to grandpa?"

Yan Songbai smiled and bent down, touching the top of his grandson's head. The other party nodded, and bounced back to the study, ready to finish the homework assigned by the teacher today.

Yan Songbai was the only one left in the yard. He continued to sit on the rattan chair in an orderly manner, wearing reading glasses, and began to enjoy the content of the copybook. For some literati, a good article seems to be a delicacy. Drink good wine but also let him have fun.

As soon as Gu Cheng here entered the lobby of the publishing house, he received everyone's attention, although to many outsiders, he seemed to be a mysterious figure who rarely accepted interviews, and he was a new writer who had just debuted.

But for Haohan Publishing House, this person is the savior who saved the company on the verge of bankruptcy, and is the number one author of the publishing house. Once a new book is released, it means that the entire publishing house must concentrate all resources and lean on the other party.

So all the employees of the entire publishing house knew the number one hero of the publishing house, and when they saw him coming, everyone was very enthusiastic.

"Mr. Gu, please sit down and drink some tea. I'll call Mr. Yu over."

The front desk greeted Gu Cheng to sit down in the living room, and offered a cup of hot tea. Yu Qi is a tea culture lover, so under the circumstances, the best drink for the publishing house to entertain guests is tea. has its own set of standards.

If it was a door-to-door request for help, the tea would only be suitable for those broken tea leaves. If it was an ordinary business partner, the tea would only be the kind that was circulated on the market.

When it was Gu Cheng's turn, the tea was also upgraded, and it was used to entertain the bosses of various companies, as well as the high-end tea that Yu Qi himself often drank.

Gu Cheng nodded, picked up the teacup in front of him, blew on the hot air gently, and tasted it in small sips. The feeling of high-grade tea leaves is different. Good tea tastes richer and more mellow than ordinary tea. .

"Mr. Gu Cheng, can you sign me? I am a fan of your book. "Murder on the Orient Express" is really well written. It can be said to be the best mystery novel in recent years. "It's not bad, when I was proofreading, I felt a cold sweat on my back."

A staff member of the publishing house first saw that the figure of the front desk staff had disappeared into the corridor, and quickly took a book from his desk, looking at Gu Cheng with admiration in his eyes.

If you want to say what is the advantage of working in a publishing house, it is that you can meet your favorite writers and have a glimpse of new works that have not yet been circulated in the market.

Although Gu Cheng is now a well-known writer, he has never encountered a book fan in public a few times, so when he heard the other party's words, he was startled for a moment, and his face was full of smiles.

"Of course, do you have a pen? Where is the signature?"

The staff immediately handed over the book in his hand. It was "Murder on the Orient Express" printed with a special number. From the pages of some volumes, it can be seen that the owner of this book must have read it many times. And I often hold it in my hand, otherwise the degree of preservation will definitely be much better than it is now.

The special numbers are generally used as souvenirs for internal personnel. Compared with the ones circulating on the market, there is not much difference except for a series of numbers on the title page.

The significance of this string of numbers is that this is the number of copies of this book officially printed by the printing factory. Like the one in hand now, it is No.20. The first twenty copies were sent to the author himself, so look The status of the staff in the publishing house is not low, and they can get such a high number.

Thinking of this, Gu Cheng couldn't help but raised his head and glanced at the other party, with gold-rimmed glasses, he was about 25 or six years old, and looked like an intern.

Don't think that these special numbers are meaningless, because they are slightly different from the books circulated on the market. When Gu Cheng's status in the literary world rises in the future, the later books will definitely become the target of many collectors.

For example, Mr. Tolkien in his previous life, because of his prominent status in the European literary world, has many fans and book fans. The numbered versions of "The Silmarillion" and "The Lord of the Rings" can basically be sold for hundreds of thousands. The price in US dollars, if it is a manuscript, the price will increase several times.

Scarce things can always become extraordinarily expensive with the passage of time and the rarity of existence.

After Gu Cheng asked the other party's name, he wrote a congratulatory message, then signed his own name, and listed the date below.
