1026: Rules of the world, debts do not cross the New Year (2 more)
Wen Ying went into seclusion to write a manuscript, and the first thing she did after coming out of seclusion was to contact Zou Weijun.
"Finished? It's earlier than expected. You must be in a hurry to finish the manuscript, right? In this case, I will read your final manuscript first and then elaborate."
Wen Ying now uses a computer to write manuscripts. She can just send the email directly to Zou Weijun, but in that case the two can only communicate online, and Wen Ying has to wait for Zou Weijun's feedback.
After being cooped up at home for a few days, Wen Ying wanted to go out for a walk.
"Aunt Zou, I will send you the manuscript first, and then I will go out to find you. You will almost finish reading it when I get there...if it is convenient for you."
Wen Ying also wanted to talk about the termination statement of "Eige". Even if Zou Weijun is really busy, Wen Ying said so, she still has to make time - not talking about personal relationships, just from a business standpoint, Wen Ying
Ying is now the author signed by Zou Weijun, and the author's affairs are a top priority for the editor!
Zou Weijun decisively made time for Wen Ying.
"Come on, meet us at the Xinran Water Bar opposite our unit."
Wen Ying went to Zou Weijun's unit, but it was a holiday at that time and not many people had seen Wen Ying.
This was Wen Ying's own request. She had to put on her "Fish Against the Current" vest. She should be more cautious at ordinary times. Although Chengdu was not a small city, everyone's social circle was not limited. A colleague from Zou Weijun's unit might just be the right one.
Do you know Chen Ru or Wen Dongrong?
Being less exposed naturally reduces the risk of being exposed.
Wen Ying sent the manuscript via email, then packed up and went out.
It would take Zou Weijun a while to read the 120,000-word manuscript, so there was no need to be too anxious for Wen Ying to find Zou Weijun.
When she went out, she called Xie Qian and mentioned that she wanted to take care of the editor-in-chief Han Da.
On the other end of the phone, Xie Qian's voice paused:
"I haven't told you since you have been concentrating on writing the manuscript these days. Now that you have handed in the manuscript and can go out, I suggest you find a newsstand and read it."
What to see?
Wen Ying thought it was Han Qin who had a new trick.
When she went out and went to the newsstand, she saw a book review of "Teen Idol".
Oh, he scolded her.
The general idea is that if the author's character is not good, it will be useless no matter how good the work he writes is.
It was indeed a scolding of her character. If you look at it carefully, how does it sound like you are praising her work?
"In order to give a fair evaluation, the author collected the January-July issues of this year..."
Look, it’s not easy to be a troll now. This columnist in the newspaper looks very young at the sight of her writing. In order to troll her, she has to go to a youth literature magazine.
When I read another article, I was still scolding "a fish against the current".
Wen Ying flipped through the pages and finally found an article that didn't criticize her.
The author not only praised the book "Teenage Idol" and expressed his eagerness to read the following chapters, but also questioned the termination statement of "Egg": What is the character of the fish in the countercurrent? They are all listed in magazines.
In terms of rhetoric, the fish against the current has not spoken out yet!
Maybe the fish against the current don’t have a propaganda position to speak out.
The author said that his magazine is willing to publish a statement for "Fish Against the Current" and hopes that "Fish Against the Current" can contact him after reading the article.
Wen Ying took a closer look and found that the author was none other than Song Foxiang.
Wen Ying was very confused: When did Chief Editor Song become her number one book fan?
Song Foxiang probably didn't know that she was the "fish against the current"... So, why did Editor-in-Chief Song Da do this? Is it to please Aunt Zou?
Not really.
I got a beating from Xie Scumbag last time.
Wen Ying was puzzled. She bought several newspapers and looked at the female boss of the newsstand. She took out a pen and paper and said, "Sister, do you want to leave your contact information? Wait until the book starts."
If it's sold or "Eige" has a new series, I'll leave you a copy."
"Auntie, did someone really leave you their contact information?"
"Of course there is!"
The female boss pulled out a small book. Wen Ying stretched her head and saw that there were more than a dozen phone numbers for ordering "Teen Idol" written on it.
——So the book was just finished today, and there are already more than a dozen readers who want to buy it?
This kind of roadside newsstand usually sells newspapers and magazines. Because newspapers and magazines are cheap and timely, it is not appropriate to go to the bookstore to buy them. People passing by buy a copy to pass the time, and it also serves as a selling point.
Beverages and cigarettes subsidize income.
Occasionally, when there is a best-selling book, the boss will buy some goods and sell them along with it.
If a book can be bought from a newsstand, it is indeed popular.
"There's a lot of noise in the newspapers every day."
The female boss lowered her voice and told Wen Ying, "You can't make a fuss about a book that doesn't look good. Look at that little secret book at the beginning of the year. The louder the noise, the more it sells!"
Oh, it's "Hush, Little Secret".
Wen Ying never looked down on anyone. The newsstand owner had his own business experience, not to mention that this was indeed a pretty good newsstand. The newspapers and magazines were in good order, and the female boss was very attentive to taking care of them.
Wen Ying just read the comments and didn't take a closer look at the newsstand. Now she glanced around and found that the female boss not only planned to pre-sell "Teenage Idol", but also had several copies of "Zhao Family Letters" - Zhao Dong's books on the newsstand.
Autobiography, Wen Ying can't even pretend not to recognize him, Zhao Dong's face is printed on the cover of the book.
Wen Ying readily left her phone number and paid to reserve a copy of "Young Idol" which had not yet been released, before asking the female boss:
"Auntie, is this copy of "Letter from the Zhao Family" selling well?"
"Okay, the guy who wrote the book is handsome. Sister, do you want to buy a copy?"
"Auntie, what you say now is not as sincere as before. Are you really selling well? If you want to recommend it randomly, I will buy it elsewhere next time."
The female boss laughed dryly: "That's right. Others like to see it, but it may not be to your liking."
Are today’s little girls so sophisticated that they can’t be deceived?
——"Zhao Family Letters" is selling like a hammer!
Due to the fierce publicity on TV, the female boss thought she had seized a business opportunity, but she bought a batch of "Letter from the Zhao Family" and sold only a few copies at first. The old customers who bought the book after listening to her recommendation later complained about her.
Highly recommended.
The author appeared on TV programs to promote it and praised it in newspaper columns. Who knew it was so ugly?
The female boss stumbled over "Letter from the Zhao Family". Wen Ying did not believe her deception, so she skipped promoting "Letter from the Zhao Family" and justified herself by saying: "On one side, they are all good things, and they are all false. On the other hand, they are all good things.
No matter how well-written the book is, some people will like it while others will not. You are definitely right in booking "Teen Idol". I am thinking about terminating the contract with "Eige". It must be because the book is well-written. If the author stops writing, the magazine will
I was so angry..."
This is a female boss with wisdom in life.
The corners of Wen Ying's lips were raised by the female boss' praise.
Her book can't be said to be the best, but it is at least better than Zhao Dong's messy ghostwritten autobiography.
Huh.
The spiritual light that once ran too fast suddenly turned a corner and ran back again.
——If "Teen Idol" didn't become popular first and now has such a high degree of attention, wouldn't the hype of "Zhao Family Letter" be sniped by "Teen Idol"?!
