Entertainment: This song sings the whole midsummer

In the afternoon, Tang Fei took Lu Bai’s fairy tale book manuscript to Lao Ma’s newspaper office.

When the front desk came in to report, Lao Ma immediately went out to receive it personally.

“Elder Don, come into my office, let’s have a good chat.”

Tang Fei followed him into the office.

“Lao Ma, take a look…” Tang

Fei took out the manuscript and pushed it in front of Lao Ma.

The old horse picked it up and took a quick browse.

“This…”

Lao Ma read about ten pages, a little hesitant.

“What’s wrong? Is it that the story is poorly written? Tang

Fei saw Lao Ma’s puzzled look, and his expression changed.

Before coming, she probably flipped it over, and she felt quite good.

How old horse has such an expression.

“It’s not that it’s not badly written, the subject matter was too novel before.

And the style of writing is also different from the popular fairy tale books.

I am afraid that if it is published, the guardians of young readers will not buy it. Old Ma said thoughtfully.

“Isn’t it a novel subject that appeals more to readers?”

Tang Fei had a series of question marks above his head.

On how to bring artists to hold artists, she can publish a textbook.

But in terms of literature, she didn’t know much about it.

It’s really interlaced like a mountain.

Lao Ma put down the manuscript, “Elder Don, you are right, the novel subject matter can indeed make the reader’s eyes shine and attract the reader.

But the premise is that the novelty must be able to reach the hearts of young readers and their guardians.

So, publishing this book, the benefits and big risks coexist.

Tang Fei nodded, she seemed to understand Lao Ma’s words a little.

Listening to Lao Ma say this, for a publishing house like Lao Ma that can’t continue to operate quickly.

It is indeed a very big risk.

Tang Fei paused, “Then otherwise… I’ll see what other publishers have to say.

She felt that Lao Ma would not accept the publication of this book.

“Wait…” Lao Ma hesitated, he still wanted to try.

What if this fairy tale book caters to the public.

Previously, publishing houses did not publish at their own expense.

For this book, he can have the author publish it at his own expense.

In this way, your own risk is also much smaller.

“Elder Donald, can you help ask your boss, can he publish this book at his own expense?”

“Okay!”

Tang Fei agreed to come down, turned around and called Lu Bai.

Lu Bai received a call from Tang Fei, and she also made it clear to Lu Bai on the phone.

He learned that the editor-in-chief of this publishing house was an old classmate of Tang Fei.

He didn’t think about it anymore, so he published it at his own expense according to what Lao Ma said.

Even if Tang Fei sold personal favors to his old classmates.

The publisher is not optimistic about the book, but he is optimistic.

In the past life is a classic, and the thinking of people in this parallel world is similar to that of the previous life.

So even if you can’t sell big, it’s more than enough to make a profit.

But it doesn’t matter if he earns more or less, he doesn’t make money from fairy tale books.

The purpose of publication was nothing more than to write to his daughter.

By the way, let the children of this parallel world, stained with the light of their daughters, can afford to read such a classic fairy tale book.

Tang Fei hung up the phone, then turned to Lao Ma and said, “Our boss agreed, and published it at his own expense.”

The other terms in the contract are written and sent to me, and I am forwarding them to our boss.

If it’s okay, you can start arranging for printing and publishing.

“Okay!”

……

In one day, Lao Ma finished the contract.

He listed all the items that required self-financing.

Of course, their newspaper also has to take a cut, after all, it is entrusted to them.

It’s up to them to run.

Lu Bai read the contract, there was no problem, and signed the contract.

The old horse was also fast, and as soon as he signed the contract, he took action.

Within a week, the publication was completed and ready to be listed.

Lu Bai gave himself a pen name called Xunfeng.

His publication of fairy tale books is not high-profile, and he does not use his star status to promote fairy tale books.

And knowing the authorship of this fairy tale book is also known to Tang Fei and Lao Ma.

Before going public, Lao Ma sent Tang Fei a few copies first.

Tang Fei handed the book to Lu Bai again.

The title of the book is “Coco’s Story Castle”.

Lu Bai looked at the effect of printing.

It’s pretty good.

……

Lu Bai did not use his identity to publicize, it can be said that this book was quietly put on the shelves.

The cover of Lu Bai’s painting is very exquisite, placed in a bunch of fairy tale books, which is particularly eye-catching.

Inside a bookstore.

A five-year-old girl said, “Mom, the cover of that book is so beautiful, I want to see it.” ”

As soon as the mother next to me looked at the cover, she knew that this was a new fairy tale book.

Because she often buys books for her children, the best-selling books, she recognizes them at a glance.

The mother brought the book over.

I first flipped it myself.

It is indeed a new book, with novel content, very different from the story routine in other best-selling fairy tale books.

But she doesn’t know if the child likes it or not.

Like these fairy tale books, parents think it’s good, but it’s not necessarily good!

Only if the child likes to watch it.

When the little girl got the fairy tale book, she was particularly fond of the cover.

“Mom, the cover of this book is good, there is a beautiful castle.

And the beautiful girl who I feel looks like me. ”

Actually, the little girl doesn’t think the girl on the cover looks like her.

It’s that she also wants to stay in such a beautiful castle.

The little girl just looked at the cover and brought herself in.

She flipped through a story.

“Mom, this fish is so beautiful, the book says she is a mermaid.”

Lu Bai ranked the story of the mermaid in the first story.

A classic fairy tale like a mermaid, this parallel world does not.

As soon as children saw such a magical story, they were immediately fascinated.

“Mom, I like this book so much, you buy it for me, I’ll take it to school to read.”

The little girl is coquettish, and if the posture is not bought for her, she will not leave.

The mother looked at the price, 15 yuan a book.

Although a little more expensive than others.

But looking at the book thickness, this “Coco’s Story Castle” is much thicker than other fairy tale books.

So it’s cost-effective in comparison.

It is rare that the daughter herself asked to buy it, and the mother was also very willing to take the book to pay.

……

The day “Coco’s Story Castle” went on shelves was a weekend.

Many parents will bring their children to the bookstore.

Naturally, some will be sold sporadically.

On the first day, sales were really average.

Fifteen copies were sold in total.

Because Lao Ma’s publishing house is before it is on the shelves.

Some publicity was also done.

Such sales are actually very poor.

Moreover, it was put into several bookstores at the same time.

In total, only 15 copies were sold.

Seeing the bleak data, the old horse’s heart was cold.

This fairy tale book is really too novel for parents to accept.

As a rule of thumb, Lao Ma has already sentenced this fairy tale book to death.

There will be no money, the author will even lose money.
