Rebirth of the courtyard, the start is 80s

Chapter 392 Don't You Think, I Want Me!
After hearing Xu Jingli's answer, Cao Zhiqiang remembered that he was indeed waiting for someone to bring a magazine to him to read before, but because of Xiang Dongfang's series of actions, Cao Zhiqiang panicked and forgot about it.

After thinking of this, Cao Zhiqiang quickly sat up straight and cleared his throat: "Well, come in."

After hearing this, Xu Jingli opened the door and entered, and saw Cao Zhiqiang with a serious face.

"President." Xu Jingli walked over a few steps with a smile on her face, and then handed over the white book in her hand, "This is the first issue of Zhiji Magazine, please take a look."

"Yeah." Cao Zhiqiang nodded calmly, took the book, and started flipping through it.

The so-called confidant's first issue of the white book is actually the first pre-issue of confidant magazine, which is an unofficial internal edition.

To put it simply, it is the content of the first issue of Zhiji magazine. Everyone has already done it, but before it is officially released, it has to be submitted for review.

There are many links in this review, the first link is called the first review, which is to show the editor-in-chief.

The editor-in-chief has checked that there is no problem, and after review, it will be sent to the vice president of the magazine for review. This is called re-examination.

The vice president has passed it, and then it will be handed over to the president for review. This is called the final review.

This three-level censorship system is called the three-instance responsibility system, and it is also a policy designated by Cao Zhiqiang within the magazine.

By the way, although Zhiji Magazine is an independent unit with an independent license and independent signboard, due to special circumstances, the office location is the same as that of Hongguang Publishing House, and the staff of Zhiji Magazine also concurrently serve as Hongguang Publishing House. employees of the company.

This kind of situation where one person holds two positions in a unit is very common during this period.

Therefore, Cao Zhiqiang is not only the president of Hongguang Publishing House, but also the president of Zhiji Magazine.

In the same way, Chen Jiabang is not only the vice president of Hongguang Publishing House, but also the vice president of Zhiji Magazine.

By analogy, Yu Deli is also the editor-in-chief of Hongguang Publishing House and Zhizhi Magazine.

During this period, although the management of publishing houses and magazines was very strict, and ordinary people could not manage it, once it could be managed, the internal review of publications was quite loose.

In other words, throughout the early 80s, no matter whether it was a publishing house or a magazine house, the review work of publishing books and periodicals was done by the publishing unit itself, and there was no one at all.

It is not that there are no units above that can review. For example, the Publishing Bureau has the right to review the publication review issues of each publishing unit within its jurisdiction.

It's just that the Publishing Bureau has few people and weak power at this time, and it simply doesn't have the energy and manpower to review the publishers and magazines below one by one.

The reason is that many publishing houses and magazines are subordinate units of other institutions, such as the subordinate units of the Cultural Bureau, the Public Security Bureau, the Women's Federation, and so on.

The higher-level management units of these publishing houses are not small in strength, and none of them are afraid of a management unit like the Publishing Bureau.

This is the so-called incoordination between the handling unit and the management unit.

The Publishing Bureau began to be awesome, and it had to be after 1987.

In that year, the Publishing Bureau became independent from the subordinate units of the Ministry of Culture and became a Press and Publication Administration that could be at the same level as the Ministry of Culture. It also clarified the powers of the Publishing Administration and its subsidiary Copyright Bureau.

Since then, the Publishing Department and the publishing bureaus spread all over the country have become a system directly under the central government. Only then can they have some confidence and power, break away from the constraints of local government agencies, and be able to manage the publishing houses and magazines below. up.

It was also after 1987, to be more precise, after 1990 that the Publishing Administration, which has become more and more powerful, began to strike hard, vigorously clean up illegal and illegal publications in various places, and tightened the censorship system, finally clearing up the domestic atmosphere. , no more mess.

Also since then, the management unit of the Publishing Bureau has become a real boss, and the management units of various publishing units have been unable to restrain the Publishing Bureau.

But for now, the Publishing Bureau is still a subordinate unit of the Ministry of Culture, on the same level as the Film Bureau, but far inferior in power and energy.

This has also resulted in the great autonomy of the publishing unit. Whether the manuscript can be published basically depends on the publishing unit in each locality. It is not an exaggeration for the publishing bureau to say that it is just a decoration.

At this time, the so-called Leng Yamen, who has no power, power and money, has a place in the publishing bureau.

Of course, having said that, after each publishing unit issues a publication, if something goes wrong, for example, the content involves sexual affairs in the bank society, etc., and is reported by many people, causing bad effects, the relevant departments will also take action to rectify it, such as restricting the rectification Category.

What's interesting is that the higher-level units that can impose fines on specific publishing units are generally the local cultural bureaus or public security bureaus, and the publishing bureaus mostly make up the numbers.

That is to say, at this time, domestic publications are published, and the auditing aspect basically depends on the publishing unit itself, which is also called self-examination and self-correction.

But the publishing units themselves do not have a strict and common self-examination and self-correction system at this time. They are all talking to themselves, and they have their own measurement standards, or rules and regulations.

For example, the so-called review of manuscripts in a publishing house at this time is usually published directly after the editor-in-chief makes a decision, and there is no second and third review.

The three-trial responsibility system generally implemented by publishing units in later generations has no shadow at all in this period.

Even the presidents of many publishing houses and magazines don't care about the specific publishing work of books and magazines at all, and the responsibility basically falls on the editor-in-chief.

The so-called editor-in-chief responsibility system was the mainstream during this period.

The advantage of this is that the content review is more relaxed and the creation is more free. The disadvantage is that it is too loose and too free.

So in the early 80s, the review environment of the domestic publishing industry was quite loose, and a lot of "critical literature" and "scar literature" came out, the root cause of which was the particularly loose review system.

After Cao Zhiqiang decided to publish the magazine, he not only set the tone of the publication of the magazine, which is the so-called shock style, but also set another tone, which is the double three-trial accountability system.

That is to say, in the future, if a magazine wants to publish a magazine, the manuscripts it accepts must go through a triple inspection by the responsible editor, the deputy editor-in-chief, and the chief editor.

After all the content of this issue of the magazine is edited, it will be reviewed by the editor-in-chief first, and if there is no problem, it will be sent to the vice president for review. After the vice president confirms that there is no problem, it will be sent to the president for review. .

Only after the approval of the president can it be officially released.

This is the double three-trial responsibility system, or the six-trial system.

Of course, because Cao Zhiqiang himself is busy with his affairs, and he is not too concerned about the confidant magazine at the moment, he is more likely to occupy the pit in advance, and let the group of people brought by Yu Deli do a little business, don't sit around and eat vegetarian food all day long.

So in fact, when it comes to the vice president Chen Jiabang, it is basically the final review, and Cao Zhiqiang's review is usually just a formality.

In other words, as long as Chen Jiabang passed the review, there would be basically no major problems.

After all, Chen Jiabang has been the secretary of the factory director for nearly 20 years, and he came from the 60s, with extremely rich experience.

Not only is he very experienced in dealing with people, but he is also very experienced in reviewing manuscripts.

Also, if he has no experience, he will not be able to be the secretary of the factory director for nearly 20 years.

So as long as you agree with Chen Jiabang and let him review it strictly, then it will be fine.

Cao Zhiqiang's request to Chen Jiabang is very simple, he would rather his work be boring, rather than sell well, and not be sensitive about the content.

Anyway, Cao Zhiqiang's current flagship products that are really making money are his own books and his own records. As for magazines, first occupy the slots of the issue number, whether it sells well or makes money, is no longer important.

Even if Bosom Friends doesn’t sell well and doesn’t make money, we must continue to do it, because this is a media channel that can speak for itself, and its power in the future should not be underestimated.

And when Cao Zhiqiang earns enough quick money, or other industries develop one after another, there will naturally be a way to make unprofitable publications sell well.

What's more, with the shock body secret that Cao Zhiqiang said before, the publication of bosom friend magazine may not be impossible.

It's a pity that Cao Zhiqiang had never paid attention to the situation of Zhiji magazine before, so he didn't know what the content of the first edition was.

So now that he came to the final review, it was actually no different from reading a new magazine.

It doesn't matter if you look at it, probably after reading the title and content inside, you will immediately laugh.

Because Cao Zhiqiang found out that the title inside was indeed very obedient, he was shocked.

For example——"Shocked, Journey to the West turned out to be a shocking hoax!" "

Another example——"Pan Jinlian's Witty Life"

Another example—"The Lesson of Fengshen Yanyi, how the leader of Tongtian, who held a good card in his hand, went to failure. "

Well, seeing these titles, Cao Zhiqiang probably knew what the content was, and it was nothing more than a new interpretation of ancient classics.

There are many reasons for these contents.

First of all, Cao Zhiqiang's internal review is too strict, so most of the content that follows current affairs has been cut off.

On the contrary, interpreting ancient classics from a novel angle has much less risk.

In fact, this is similar to the reinterpretation of Jin Yong's novels in the headlines of later generations, and many people read them.

The second one is that the preparation time of Zhiji magazine is too short, and it is not well-known, so it does not receive many decent manuscripts, so many manuscripts are written by Yu Deli's subordinates with a small pseudonym.

This situation is very common. When many magazines are newly established and there is a shortage of manuscripts, most of the editors write articles by themselves, which are called impulsive articles.

Under normal circumstances, this kind of impulsive article is to directly pick up the foreign skin, the content of a certain domestic story, and come up with a foreign experience, which is easy and attractive.

But Cao Zhiqiang forbids everyone to do this, because this obvious banana routine will stink the market in future generations, and Cao Zhiqiang does not want his magazine to have such a stain.

Cao Zhiqiang can accept that his magazine's sales are not good, and he can also accept the shocking body, but he absolutely cannot accept that his magazine is labeled as a well-known body.

Just kidding, confidant magazine was founded by Cao Zhiqiang. Others don't know that the content in it has nothing to do with Cao Zhiqiang, and they will only bind it forcibly.

Therefore, the reputation of Zhiji magazine is equal to Cao Zhiqiang's reputation, which must be paid attention to.

However, because of Cao Zhiqiang's harsh conditions, everyone can't make up too much, so they can only engage in interpretation.

In short, it is to reinterpret a certain character in familiar ancient works such as the Four Great Masterpieces.

For example, the villain Jiejiao in Fengshenyanyi is reinterpreted as a good sect that loves and helps each other but has a tragic fate, and the villain Tongtian Jiaozhu is reinterpreted as an honest man with lofty ambitions but insufficient emotional intelligence.

Another example is to interpret Pan Jinlian, a synonym for slut, as the witty resistance of an ancient woman whose fate is beyond her control.

Anyway, the same thing, the same person, interpreted from different angles, can always play tricks, which has long been a bad street in later generations.

But in this era, this unique but logically self-consistent interpretation is still very novel.

Especially now that it happens to be the era of reform and opening up, this kind of interpretation is easier to accept.

However, the interpretations in the article are all aimed at ancient masterpieces. You can only say that this is a literary discussion, and you can't say anything else.

This circumvents all problems.

Some people, if they interpret the meaning here and make their own in-depth understanding, they can also have a little bit of meaning of borrowing from the past to satirize the present, which fits the mentality of people who like to talk about national affairs nowadays.

There are also some people, after seeing these new interpretations, it is very likely that they will be refreshed and feel that they have grasped the truth, and then use it to brag to others. If they can bluff people, they will be quite happy and thus more Love this magazine.

Many publications during this period, such as "Youth Science Pictorial" and "Science Pictorial", were sold so well, because before the Internet age, these books contained a lot of content that ordinary people didn't know, and then everyone read it. After a half-knowledge of that point, can you take it out and brag about it?

Otherwise, do you really think that so many people really like science?

But once the Internet age comes, and everyone can easily search for all kinds of information on the Internet, popular science journals such as Science Pictorial will not work.

Is it because everyone doesn't like science anymore?
No, but in the Internet age, you can no longer pretend to be aggressive in front of people when you read science pictorials.

In the same way, the new interpretation of a large number of ancient literature and foreign literature in Zhiji magazine provides everyone with a new way of thinking, making some people think that they have grasped the truth and have a topic of bragging, which is naturally easy to attract people.

Therefore, just reading these interpretation articles, Cao Zhiqiang knew that Zhiji Magazine had already achieved half of the success.

As for the other half, it just depends on luck.

"Not bad, not bad, not bad." Cao Zhiqiang, who had flipped through a few articles, nodded in satisfaction, "The title is shocking, the content is surprising, and the logic is self-consistent. Use modern new ideas to interpret the virtual characters and fictional characters in ancient classics. Events can attract people and have no risks, good, good!"

Seeing that Cao Zhiqiang was very satisfied, Xu Jingli blinked and said: "President, I also think the articles in it are quite interesting, but almost all of them are articles of this kind, are they really suitable?"

"What's inappropriate?" Cao Zhiqiang squinted at Xu Jingli.

Xu Jingli said: "Well, these articles are interpretations of ancient masterpieces and foreign masterpieces, strictly speaking, they cannot be regarded as original articles, this is a trick.

Although we also have some original articles, but the number is too small, and almost all of them are filled.

So, should we add more story-based original articles, especially publish more articles that are close to reality?

Even if you want to write review articles, shouldn't you write more review articles that are close to reality?

For example, we can comment on the disadvantages of the unified distribution system of various universities today.

I think that when it comes to college graduation assignments, we should at least ask the college students what they think, and we can’t do everything…”

"Stop!" Cao Zhiqiang waved his hand, then frowned and looked at Xu Jingli.

"Xu Jingli." Cao Zhiqiang frowned and said to her, "Do you know what you are talking about? Do you know that your thoughts are dangerous now?"

"I, I know." Xu Jingli bit her lip, "But I think..."

"Stop!" Cao Zhiqiang interrupted her again, "I don't want you to think, I want me to think!"

Immediately afterwards, Cao Zhiqiang said to Xu Jingli with a serious face: "Xu Jingli, you are just an intern editor, you are only here for an intern, and you are not yet our regular employee.

So on some issues, don't talk nonsense at every turn.

Many things are not as simple as you think, understand?

You only need to do your job well, and you don't need to be responsible for the rest.

If you want to be responsible, wait until you become the president or editor-in-chief, understand? "

"I, I..." Xu Jingli lowered her head a little aggrieved, "Yes, I understand, President."

Only then Cao Zhiqiang sighed: "Xu Jingli, I am also a young man, of course I understand your thoughts, but understanding does not mean agreeing.

You have to know that as a human being, some things cannot be willful.

For example, what you said just now, once we really do it, what should we do if something happens?
At that time, what if the entire magazine is ordered to rectify, or even cancel our magazine, and the magazine is not allowed to publish?
It's not that you alone can afford it, it's that everyone will suffer along with it.

You are young, your family is rich, you are not afraid of being fired, of course you are not.

But there are still a lot of people in the magazine, all counting on this place to support their families.

If everyone loses their jobs because of your willfulness, can you bear the responsibility? "

"I, I..." Xu Jingli raised her head, her face was flushed, and she was about to cry. Obviously, she didn't expect that it was just a suggestion, but it was said so seriously.

"I'm just, just making a suggestion." Xu Jingli hummed softly.

"Ah, a suggestion." Cao Zhiqiang nodded, "The suggestion is very good, don't mention it in the future."

Upon hearing this, Xu Jingli bit her lip and lowered her head again, obviously very wronged.

Cao Zhiqiang turned a blind eye to this. After all, such dangerous thoughts must be killed in the bud.

At this moment, the door was suddenly opened, and Xiang Dongfang walked in from the outside.

Seeing the atmosphere at the scene, Xiang Dongfang blinked, and then said with a smile: "What's the matter? President, did you bully Xu Jingli?"

"How dare I." Cao Zhiqiang shrugged, "It's just that Comrade Xu Jingli just gave me a suggestion, and I rejected it."

Speaking of this, Cao Zhiqiang turned his head to look at Xu Jingli, who was bowing his head, and smiled slightly: "Xu Jingli, don't blame me for speaking bluntly, I'm actually doing it for your own good.

When you have something to say in the future, you have to think about it before you say it, especially don't make suggestions that leapfrog the level.

For example, what you just told me, you should first talk to your master, that is, the responsible editor in charge of you.

He agreed, and you have to talk to your deputy editor-in-chief and editor-in-chief again.

After they all agree, you have to talk to the vice president again, and the vice president also agrees, then you can come to me to talk.

Now you are taking the opportunity of delivering magazines to tell me these things, it is a taboo in the workplace, understand? "

Xu Jingli raised her head: "But, but..."

"No but!" Cao Zhiqiang said with a livid face.

"I have so many things to do every day, and there are so many people to manage. If everyone can report to me by leapfrogging at will, can I do other things? Are the other leaders before me still in charge?
Any organization with combat effectiveness must have strict discipline and rules and regulations, neither rigid nor too arbitrary.

Xu Jingli, you are a college student and a top student. I am very optimistic about you and want to use you again.

That's why I tell you these words, the purpose is to let you avoid detours and learn more about the ways of the world.

Otherwise, I can just prevaricate you a few words, why tell you so much?
Can you understand my painstaking efforts? "

When Xu Jingli heard this, she looked at Cao Zhiqiang in a daze, then quickly took a deep breath, and wiped her tears with the back of her hand: "I, I understand. President, what you mean is that good medicine tastes bitter, I hope I can think twice, is that so?"

Cao Zhiqiang nodded with a serious face: "Of course!"

Xu Jingli just stood at attention: "Understood the president, I will definitely be more cautious in the future, just watch my performance."

Only then did Cao Zhiqiang smile slightly, and handed her the white-covered magazine in his hand: "Very well, this is the talent I value!
You can take this thing back, just say that I have passed the review here, and let them prepare for publication according to the procedures. "

Xu Jingli took a deep breath again, and after taking the magazine, she first bowed to Cao Zhiqiang, then nodded to Xiang Dongfang, and then walked out of the office with her chest up and her head up.
