Reborn Cultural Empire

For a long time, Yangyi Publishing has its own set of rules. This information may not be known to ordinary people, but Yangyi Publishing has never kept it secret. It is inconvenient if outsiders do not know the rules for publishing and accepting submissions. .So as long as you are a writer in the circle, pay more attention to this aspect, and you can also inquire about related matters through channels.Yang Yi did not believe that the member of the Presidium of the Chinese Writers Association in front of him would not be clear about this issue.

But the other party just now asked whether he could make a decision on the publication of a book, and then made this request, which was obviously prepared, so it is obviously unwise to directly reject the other party now.Otherwise, maybe this person will leave a small thorn in his heart, thinking that the boy is deliberately trying to save him.After Yang Yi had weighed in an instant, he asked the other party to show him the manuscript instead of directly rejecting the other party.

Yang Yi is an idealist and a true lover of literature. The most basic conditions for him to decide whether a person's work will be published or not are not entirely based on the best-seller lists in the memory left in his previous life. Afterwards, I think it does have a certain literary significance, at least it can bring readers a good reading experience, so this work is worthy of his promotion.In fact, Yang Yi Publishing did exactly that—for a bestseller in his previous life, he either directly contacted the author himself, or asked the editorial department to keep an eye on it, rather than submitting the bestseller. As long as it passes the cross-review of the editor, no effort will be spared to operate it.Promoting the cultural industry does not depend on the popularity of bestsellers in a country's book market.It depends on how many people there are besides bestsellers and supplementary social science books.Willing to pay for book consumption, willing to spend their free time on reading.

So if you don't look at the best-selling books published by Yang Yi.If you take a comprehensive look at it, you will find that after the best-selling book Mayang is removed, Yangyi Publishing is completely in a state of "micro-profit". This is actually something that many people, including industry observers, have not noticed. Many colleagues in the publishing industry, including the majority of authors and readers, as well as people in related economic fields, have focused on Yangyi Publishing's efforts to discover bestsellers.The help of Yangyi culture to traditional literature has been neglected.If it was changed to a foreign market dominated by capital, then the performance of this department would be unqualified, and it would definitely be accused and attacked by the board members.

But now facing the gentleman in front of him, it is not easy for the boy to agree immediately.

It is true that he is the cause of idealism, but it does not mean that he will take advantage of it for no reason, no matter what good or bad things are, he will publish them.If the other party's works can't be on the stage at all, then Yang Yi Publishing's loss of operating costs is nothing more than nothing.But who will be responsible for the loss of reputation?

Seeing the boy say that, Chi Jiren fixed his eyes for a moment, and then laughed heartily.He asked him in a joking and unpredictable tone: "Why, Xiaoyi, are you still worried that the quality of my works is not good enough? Seriously! But don't worry, I am also a person who has published several works. Poet, it is impossible to intentionally come up with some perfunctory works to embarrass you. To be honest, the editor-in-chief of the Writer’s Publishing House has already read this collection of mine. The evaluation... I will paraphrase his Alright, so you don’t think I’m bragging—the words are mediocre, but the poetry is touching, I think this evaluation is enough?”

Hearing what the other party said, the boy didn't answer immediately, but the smile on his face fluctuated slightly.However, his reaction was also deliberate. I believe that the other party will not be so blank and should be able to understand what he means.

Sure enough, after seeing that Yang Yi didn't intend to answer, Chi Jiren simply continued on his own: "Do you think that since I have given such an evaluation at the Writer's Publishing House, then Why don’t you agree to them, just leave the work to them to take care of, right? Alas, to tell you the truth, although I’m barely well-known in the circle of literature, but in the final analysis, traditional literature and The current popular reading is still a bit far away, and you may not know the situation at the writer's publishing house. In the past few years, there have really been few works that can be seen in sales, and they all rely on some "best sellers" to support the market .Although I am a writer and a poet, writers also have to eat, right? You can’t survive by drinking northwest wind... Well, I feel embarrassed to say it..."

Although Chi Jiren hadn't finished speaking, Yang Yi also vaguely understood what the other party meant. It was nothing more than that the Writers Publishing House is a public institution affiliated to the Writers Association, and there is not much market pressure, so in terms of marketing methods, it cannot compare with the same Xinhua Publishing House, Commercial Press, etc., which are national brands, can't compare with Yangyi Publishing, a kind of affiliated cultural company.As an author, the publishing house is not strong in marketing, so of course he is not willing to hand over his work to them.

After thinking about it, the boy followed the other person's tone with a smile and said, "Then what Teacher Chi means is that he thinks that the market operation of our Yangyi Publishing is not bad, and he hopes that his works can get some marketing breakthroughs with us?"

"What else could be the reason? Since I think so in my heart, I'm not afraid to admit it to my face." Chi Jiren looked very straightforward, and nodded without hesitation: "There is no way, why did you make you feel guilty?" As soon as it is published, publishing and marketing are in such a rush? Not to mention your colleagues, which writer at this annual meeting does not want to submit to you? If it is possible, how about we just make it so? "

Seeing the other party's few words, there was a faint sense of persecution in the words, the boy secretly smiled in his heart, but he didn't express anything on the surface, but looked embarrassed: "Well, it doesn't matter if I say it alone. There are some things, I It’s true that you can make your own decision, but that’s just popular reading. As for purely literary poetry and prose works, you still need the editors of our publishing house to read them. Express opinions in unfamiliar areas."

Although the boy repeatedly evaded, but it is very reasonable, and now he has not even seen the shadow of the work. Who knows what level your "flat words, poetic and heart-warming" thing is?Anyway, you said these words yourself, and I haven't seen them yet.It is naturally impossible for the reborn man with this kind of thinking to make any promises right away.

But his reaction fell into the eyes of the other party, but it was like some kind of crime. Chi Jiren's face also showed a very obvious trace of unhappiness, and the atmosphere turned cold all of a sudden.

But after all, this person is a bureaucrat among literati, not an ordinary writer. Even if he is unhappy in his heart, he can still maintain his face, so after suppressing his unhappiness, he smiled and said: "Why? , Could it be that Xiaoyi, you are in your own company, and you still can’t make the decision? Then your boss is a bit tasteless, haha! In this way, I will ask someone to send the manuscript over later, but it’s still the same sentence, the quality of the work depends on you. Don’t worry, I’ve been climbing the grid for decades, and this can be guaranteed. The main reason is that I happened to meet you, and some details in publishing, such as the cover design of the work, how I need to cooperate in marketing, these things It's better to have a face-to-face interview, so I said to finalize these things first, otherwise when I return to the capital, even if I have a phone call, it will be somewhat inconvenient, right?"

Yang Yixin said that you promise to come and go, but what do you mean by not showing me?Regardless of the 1 reasons, it is easier to communicate without discussing the details of publication, but that is also a matter after the publication qualification is confirmed, right?

And the most critical point is that the boy is a reborn person. He also knows a little bit about all kinds of ways in the domestic literary world, thanks to the prosperity of the media and the rapid spread of consultation. With the rapid development of the country, the moral bottom line of Chinese people has been repeatedly challenged and broken by some people who have no lower limit. Then, as a part of the big whole of the nation, the group of writers, when faced with the temptation of material desires of sensuality and luxury, they also There is no lack of loss of personal bottom line. Let’s not talk about some tricks in the Writers’ Association of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles. However, some writers even rely on plagiarism to become famous, and the appearance of various weird works are things that make boys especially vigilant.

Especially the one in front of him, who said that he was still a national first-class poet. In his previous life, Yang Yi had heard of this confusing title. What is a national first-class poet?And what is the evaluation standard of this title?Anyway, the boy couldn't figure it out in the last life.But he still has a lot of people like him who don't understand, and it doesn't affect the female poet surnamed Zhao who made the name "National First-Class Poet" popular all over the country, and she is downright popular.That kind of pear-flower poems that make people feel so painful, anyway, after Yang Yi was reborn, he was very resistant to the title of national first-class poet.

Considering that this kind of problem must be prevented from happening, Yang Yi tried his best to explain with a smile after thinking about it: "If you are worried about the inconvenient communication, then Teacher Chi really don't have to be afraid, because in the next six months, every week They all have to fly to the capital once. So in case there is any problem, I will fly over immediately after the editorial department has finished reading your work, and we will discuss it face to face. There will be no delay in matters. As long as Teacher Chi feels that I As long as the visit doesn't bother you."

The boy thought to himself that I have been patient and gave in repeatedly, so you, a great poet, should accept it as soon as it is good?Is it possible that you really didn't even look at your poems, just nodded and agreed to publish?At this moment, he also felt that the way of communication in the literati circle was really depressing.
