"Teacher Zhou Chuan, the "Luohe Divine Book" will be printed in fifteen days, are you nervous?"
Chu Li was sitting in front of the table, looking at Hiukawa who was sitting on the other side of the table—at this time the man was eating the beef, carrot and potato soup rice she made. There was a lot of meat, so much meat that he had to go to bed on time at ten o'clock every day. Zizi walked around Zhouchuan countless times, until 10:30, he still couldn't bear to go to sleep, so he just stared.
The spoon that the man handed to his mouth paused for a moment, then he raised his head and glanced at Chu Li: "Why am I nervous, if it didn't sell well, it's just that I made a mistake and ruined a book. One more line in street history—what do you think is unbearable for an author whose first novel has been torn up and burned?"
First ceremony: "..."
Chu Li didn't know what kind of expression he should put on at this moment.
Sympathize with him? Or pity yourself
"It's you, it's you who should be nervous," Hirokawa tapped the edge of the bowl lightly with a porcelain spoon, threw the spoon away, opened a can of iced Coke and took two gulps, "This book doesn't sell well, first of all You have violated the original promise that I will do my best to sell the good promise, you are a liar... "
Hiukawa: "Secondly, of course I won't give you a second chance. "Luohe Shenshu" may become the last book that I cooperate with Yuanyueshe, maybe it won't, but there is no doubt that you will There will never be an opportunity to be my personal editor again—we may still be a landlord and tenant relationship, but not an editor and author relationship anymore… ”
Hirakawa: "In the end, do you know what this means? It means that at least for me, what you said in the movie theater today has become meaningless nonsense. What happens to you in the future has nothing to do with me, sincerely Blessings, may your future be bright."
First ceremony: "..."
From the beginning to the end of "first, second and last", Chu Li didn't even have a chance to intervene, she could only frown slightly, subconsciously feeling that she really didn't like hearing the man personally deny the matter of "editing and editing"—
Not even hypothetical.
He was the first person who personally handed her the signed contract since she entered this industry...
She absolutely must not lose him.
Not far away, the man's voice was calm and cold: "It's time to put all your eggs in one basket, little girl, you and I are both."
The emotionless voice made Chu Li's heart suddenly tense, he subconsciously straightened his waist and his expression became serious, his fists on the table were clenched—
At this time, she saw Hiukawa picking up the spoon again, using the spoon like a sword, and pointing at the tip of her nose across the table: "After saying this, do you think I am a very principled and masculine person?"
First Ritual: "………………"
Snake spirit disease!
Chu Li: "Teacher, I am seriously discussing with you the plan of launching your work, can you please be more serious?"
Hiukawa put down the spoon: "I'm very serious."
Chu Li rolled his eyes and stood up, imitating Er Gouzi to walk around the room... Taking "Luohe Divine Book" as an example, the actual release process of a book is as follows——
Before the release, the magazines and various official blogs and official post bars began to advertise about three months in advance. Every two or three days, I will post some progress information on Weibo... During the period, I will ask Niang Niang to help forward the publicity. Niang Yu is very unhappy, but there is no way - because after the war, Chu Li usually starts with opening and closing his mouth. The five words "provided in the contract" are used as the beginning and the end, and I am too lazy to say other nonsense;
Otherwise, it is to exchange advertisements with other magazines to promote each other's publicity. However, domestic magazines seldom do this, because domestic businessmen are so narrow-minded, even if they help each other, they are not good for others. Originally, Chuli also wanted to find Xindun after carefully reading the marketing routes of other best-selling books. The agency looked to see if they could exchange advertising space, but such a proposal had just been made, and before it could be sent up, Yu Yao was slapped back;
Finally, it’s the marketing after listing—marketing guys contact booksellers across the country to provide publicity resources, such as posting posters in prominent places in major bookstores, and stacking them in major physical bookstores (*placed before summer vacation, on the aisle, in major bookstores) The most conspicuous position of the bookstore is to stack a lot of books into a high stack of geometric shapes) and online stores such as Tmall Dangdang Amazon's various promotional page headers...
Above, this is the marketing route of traditional paper media. In the older era, there was no Weibo, and even the first step could be omitted... In that era, whenever a new book was released, marketers would like to ride a small tricycle to get it. A loudspeaker yelled along the street: XxX author's new book is on the market, hurry up and watch it! Hurry up and buy a great deal! ! ! ! !
And in these processes, it can be seen that, as the editor in charge, Chu Li can actually deal with some diseases that are not too many—
Because the real relationship and implementation of the book listing is the marketing department of the entire book publishing company.
As the leader of traditional paper media, Yuanyue Club has a very strong marketing department—I heard that those marketing guys have already won physical copies of "Luohe Divine Book" from major bookstores across the country, often ranging from half a month to two months Stack promotional forms.
Chu Li was very grateful for this, and suddenly thought of this, stopped walking around in circles, turned around and asked the man at the table who was scraping the bowl after finishing eating: "By the way, teacher, the marketing department has already given the "Luohe Divine Book" It took half a month to win the stacked promotion positions of Xinhua Bookstores in major cities across the country!"
Hirakawa: "Oh, then they are great."
Chu Li: "I heard that it is very hard for them to visit the thatched hut three times, so do you want to take out your pocket to treat people to a good meal or give them a small gift to express your gratitude?"
Hiukawa thought for a while, and replied: "Go ahead, the necessary public relations etiquette is still to be done, is two hundred enough for you?"
Two hundred yuan is not enough to pay those salesmen for a taxi on Sangu Maolu Road.
Chu Li: "... Forget it, it's not public relations, that's what they should do."
Zhou Chuan heard the disgust in her words: "Two hundred yuan is too little for you."
Chuli: "No."
Hiukawa: "The person who is so poor that he can only survive by living in other people's homes for food and drink, what right does he have to dislike two hundred yuan?"
Chu Li: "I don't dislike it."
Hiukawa: "... not only free food and drink, but also no utility bills."
Chu Li: "I don't dislike it!!!!!!"
Hiukawa rubbed his ears, muttered, "Why are you yelling if you are not guilty?" He asked again: "Then it seems that the physical distribution process of "Luohe Shenshu" is almost done this time, did the marketing side tell you about it?" The order quantity? Has it exceeded 45,000?"
Chu Li moved his lips, but before he could answer, he heard the man talking to himself again: "I think the order quantity must have exceeded 45,000—those physical booksellers should be like me when they heard my name, Hiukawa. It’s because the bears pounced on it as if they smelled honey.”
First ceremony: "..."
Probably because the speechless gaze cast from not far away was too undisguised, Mr. Honey looked at his editor in charge and raised his eyebrows: "Is there something wrong with what I said?"
Chu Li: "... Yes, for example, I haven't written the subscription letter yet."
Now, the progress of "Luohe Divine Book" has reached the stage of waiting for the subscription letter to be sent to the major distributors.
"Subscription letter", as its name suggests, is the subscription information issued by the publishing house to the distributor—including the author's information, the cover artist's information, the content of the book itself, and the data, etc... A wave of subscriptions is required before the book is printed. Added up will be an important estimate of the book's first printing run.
—And writing a slightly better-looking subscription letter is one of the few things that the editor-in-charge can take the initiative to do for this book during the entire book sales process.
So at this moment, when he heard that the construction of the first ceremony had not yet started, Zhou Chuan was immediately angry: "There are still more than ten days to print and you haven't written your subscription letter. Is that difficult? Friend, do you really want it?" Sell books for me?"
"Dealers are real businessmen, they don't care how exciting your content is, they just want to know whether it can be sold or not," Chu Li wrung his fingers with a puzzled expression, "I'm trying to learn how to get rid of personal emotions, Give up bragging about how good this book is, and tell these dealers some truths that can touch the hearts of businessmen in the subscription letter."
"..." Hiukawa nodded, "I have a lot of ideas, but I just need to take practical actions. Please hurry up."
First ceremony: "..."
Chu Li: "Write now? Today is Saturday, you let me work overtime?"
Hiukawa: "What's wrong?"
Chu Li: "Aren't you the one who makes noise every day that I'm not allowed to work overtime? After all, Yu Yao doesn't pay overtime pay?"
"That's different. What you're selling this time is "The Book of the God of Luohe", and you're standing in the house of the author of this book, bragging about it. If you're going to sleep in a while, the pillows will be bought out of my pocket," Zhou said. Chuan asked, "I have to give food to those who live in me, and I have to hold back that you can't fight with you when you ignore the "Thirty Rules for Residents" and you are urged to draft. It is more worrying than raising a daughter. Why don't you give it to me?" I work overtime?"
Chu Li was persuaded, muttering "Yes, yes, I'll go right away" while preparing to go upstairs to take down the laptop - after all, no one in this world knows his books better than Hirokawa himself, so it's of course to do the subscription letter with him It is also a good choice.
Chu Li turned around and walked two steps upstairs. Zhou Chuan's phone vibrated. From the corner of his eyes, Chu Li saw him pick up the phone, glanced at the screen and poked it casually. Then, Teacher Jiang Yucheng's voice became clear. Chu Di sounded in the middle of the living room—
[Why do you call the little monkey a cook? You asked her to cook for you? Is she the one you mentioned who cooks, writes, and walks the dog? Friend, you treat yourself as…]
I didn't hear the following words, because the man pressed the latter words with a "beep".
Hiukawa: "..."
First ceremony: "..."
Chu Li withdrew his feet that had already stepped on the stairs of the attic, turned around and looked at Hiukawa: "Mrs. Cook?"
Hiukawa: "Huh."
"Hey what!" Chu Li dragged off his slippers, gestured in the direction of the man's face, and raised his voice, "I asked you if you had any weird words with Mr. Jiang Yucheng, and you said no!!! !"
"What's so strange about a cooking lady, aren't you cooking for me!" The man picked out his ears, but the expression on his face didn't look so righteous.
Think about it, if Jiang Yucheng is free enough at the moment, she might have already made up a bloody drama about a new editor and a master author, and she suddenly felt angry, so she raised her hand and threw it fiercely. own slippers—
Er Gouzi, who was originally squatting next to Zhou Chuan, jumped up and whimpered, caught the slipper from the sky, then walked up to Zhou Chuan's side, put the slipper into his arms, and said "praise" all over his face. The ground plane rubbed against its master like an ear.
Hiukawa pulled Chuli's slippers to the ground with disgust and guilt.
Chu Li let out a loud "hum", and limped upstairs wearing only slippers.
…
When the two separated, one upstairs and one downstairs, the house finally became quiet.
After washing the dishes, Hiukawa took a shower, changed into his pajamas and went back to his room, where he coded;
Half an hour later, Chu Li came down with bare feet.
Go straight through the living room to Hirakawa's room and open the door. The man is typing. The crackling sound of typing stops abruptly with the opening of the door. The man turns his head and looks at the man in a white nightdress and a coat. , the little girl standing barefoot on the white carpet in her room paused.
Showing an expression of wanting to teach someone—
But before he could speak, Chu Li said, "Where did you hide my slipper?"
"...in the shoe cabinet." Because of the sudden mention of the keyword, the guilty conscience that had finally disappeared surged into his heart again, and the man hesitated for a while—
—You step on the horse and put slippers on for me!
- What kind of words do girls run around with bare feet!
—If you let go of the ancient Laozi, he will marry you just because he took one more look at you! How terrible! Is there anyone like you who buys and sells routines like a wealthy son-in-law! ! !
The above three sentences were held back in my heart, and thousands of words turned into one sentence——
"It's already November, run around barefoot, be careful of catching a cold."
Chu Li pretended not to hear what he said, just grabbed a piece of paper and rushed into Zhou Chuan's room, and slapped the warm paper that was just printed out in front of the man!
Hiukawa narrowed his eyes slightly, and stretched his neck to see—
I found that what was in front of me was a subscription letter.

Hiukawa: "..."
He raised his head and looked at the guy standing beside him staring at him, his toes on the thick carpet were unconsciously prying because of nervousness and anxiety.
Hiukawa: "'The momentum is close to that of the old master Jiang Yucheng, and he vowed never to be the "kid next door"!" What is it?"
Chu Li's lips squirmed, and he pinched the corner of the nightdress with his hand: "...Lao Miao said, this subscription letter is to blow your mind to death. I heard that half of the shameful girdle slogans on the market are the contents of the subscription letter." Directly copied... And at the critical moment, he did not hesitate to use other authors as a backstop—”
Chu Li's heels rubbed against the carpet under his feet.
"And I thought about it, if you want to look more popular than you in the eyes of the public, and even if you are dragged away by you as a backstage, you will not be a writer who will not hate you. Looking at the literary world, there are only two: Teacher Jiang Yucheng, and Teacher Zhou Guxuan .”
"..."
Hiukawa's eyebrows trembled, and before he had time to speak, Chu Li had already screamed "Ah"—the man only had time to see the white skirt fluttering in front of him, accompanied by the smell of shampoo and body wash... Next In a second, the guy who was standing in front of him was already standing outside the door.
She held on to the door frame, leaned half of her body, stared carefully at the man holding the printing paper inside the door—
Like a jackal who would devour her alive in the next second.
While doing the scolding thing, while looking at him with a harmless face of "I don't want you and you don't make trouble for no reason, it's just to sell books", Zhou Chuan was almost mad at her.
The man sneered, and slapped the printing paper in his hand onto the table—
The person who was holding on to the door frame outside the door also jumped up following the loud noise.
Hiukawa: "Do you still know that you deserve a beating for saying this?"
Chu Li shrank his neck: "I just told you and my common dream."
"I think it's a big hit." Chu Li pointed to himself.
"You want to get out of the shadow of 'the kid next door'." Chu Li pointed to Hiukawa.
"Everyone is happy!" Chu Li put his palms together and clapped.
"I only have one dream now," Hiukawa said, shaking his back molars, "that is—you come over, if you don't come over, I'll go over, and I will beat you to death!"
As soon as he finished speaking, before Hiukawa really stood up, the little girl standing outside the door jumped up like a frightened hamster, turned around and fled back to the room, closed the door with a bang, and quickly went to the room. locked!
Two seconds later, Hiukawa Q's "Didi" sounded, and when he looked back, someone's head vibrated—
[The sailor invited by the monkey: ... At worst, delete this sentence QAQ! What a fierce QAQ!]
The man stared at this line of writing for a long time, and imagined someone squatting behind the attic door, trembling with his mobile phone in his hand, uttering this line of words with a grievance on his face...
With a "chi" sound, he laughed softly.
