Chapter 455 Strange Places
"Manager Xiao, I know you are very anxious, but don't worry first." President Wang said, "I have also seen the news, but I think it belongs to a series of books and has nothing to do with personal publishing. Everyone knows that Teacher Xiao Gu has a special sense of personal responsibility... …”
Manager Xiao was originally out of patience and was annoyed by this nonsense, so he couldn't hold back immediately, "President, I'm very sorry, I want to interrupt your speech. I understand what you said, should we care about it, should we care about it, President, Let’s take a look at Teacher Gu’s creative progress? ”
Lao Xiao’s impatient personality has at least dragged his ability to hinder his legs. Look, this often interrupts his boss’s habit of speaking. If President Wang hadn’t been generous, who could have tolerated it?
Speaking of which, it is almost the same as Gu Lu’s speed of creating two medium and long works in a year.
"It's not a urging. It's really time to care about progress." President Wang called and said, "Don't worry, there will be no changes. I worked with Xiao Gu a few years ago, and I don't know yet. ? ”
Seeing that Manager Xiao's eyes still had no nerves, President Wang also comforted him a few words.
Telephone connection—
Twenty seconds later, Gu Lu answered the phone, Wang and Gu exchanged greetings for a moment, and Manager Xiao pricked up his ears and listened to the content of the phone.
"President Wang, there is a little bit of a problem with the new book Songzi." Gu Lu was originally planning to read the situation after writing Ou Wei, but the other party just called to ask about the status of the work, so let's talk about it.
Holding the phone in his hand, President Wang, who had originally had a calm expression, no calmness appeared on his face, as if a water monster suddenly appeared on the calm lake.
"What's the situation? Is it because of the series of books?" President Wang asked.
Even the phone was not turned on, so Manager Xiao next to him could only try to get his ears close as much as possible so that his neck would stretch out.
"It has nothing to do with the series of books. I had originally conceived "The Little Man Who Borrowses" before, so it won't delay the preparation of the new book. It's a bit complicated..." Gu Lu paused, "I'm going to say a long story short. At present, I need a book that can be published to Europe. New work. However, the plot limitations of the previous works are a bit strong, so the new book is ready to change its direction."
President Wang breathed a sigh of relief and was shocked. He thought why? He was just changing this book. No surprise, it turned out that he was scaring himself.
Seeing the other end of the phone, Gu Lu also added, "Don't worry, President Wang, the delivery time will not be delayed."
"No problem, no problem." President Wang was completely relieved when he heard this and took the initiative to speak, "Whether the new book is launched globally? How do we need our publishing house to cooperate."
"Of course it's okay, okay."
"Teacher Xiao Gu should also pay attention to rest."
"Just take time to sign a supplementary contract."
Soon, the phone was hung up in a pleasant atmosphere.
The next second, Manager Xiao asked, "President, what's going on?"
President Wang did not keep it a secret, and explained that the writer wanted to change the subject and that he should cooperate with publishing plans in multiple countries to be launched at the same time.
He finally said, "Manager Xiao, you need to worry about sales."
"More than 20 countries jointly launched. Except for "From the New World", I have never seen book sales that can be sold like movies." Manager Xiao is not afraid of being tired, and he even loves big scenes.
"Especially this time, from China and Japan, it has become more than 20. It seems that Teacher Gu is very confident in the new homework." This is good news for their publishing house, and Manager Xiao finally felt relieved.
After leaving the president's office voluntarily, Manager Xiao secretly made up his mind to create a more explosive product than "From the New World".
He returned to his office and checked the recent turbulence in the publishing circle. He naturally went further to see that the Wu Family, Qiao Manshui and others could not wait to make progress.
The vote initiated on Weibo [New Fairy Tale Series, is Gu Lu deserved the title as the author of the main work? ］
Seventy-three percent of the audience chose the right one, but the atmosphere of the message was not so friendly.
"Don't tell me about a writer, this event is really not suitable for Gu Lu." "Old Gu Lu fans, it is actually more suitable for the five families?" "Gu Lu should be the judge and guide of the event. His main focus is that he feels that his seniority is not the same"... …
It is obvious that it is very convenient for ordinary passers-by to click, but they will not leave special messages, so there are many naval troops in the message area.
"Changjiang Children's Publishing House turns a blind eye to this? Let this group of people step on Teacher Gu's fame? It's such a clumsy publicity method."
"If I were to carry out the publicity and planning of this scene, first..."
For publishers, doing nothing in the author's dimension dispute is the best way to deal with it.
Manager Xiao naturally knew it, but at this moment, because he was not the person involved, he could force him to do anything condescendingly.
Manager Xiao, who gave guidance to others, must have "world-class" wisdom.
Some people say they have heard many truths, but they still have a hard time living their lives. This is not ironic enough. What is even more ironic is that we have countless great principles, but we can't even calculate it clearly if we put it on ourselves.
Gu Lu knew this very well, so he never showed any big mistakes with others. But it was actually a moment when I was not stuck, and I couldn't hold it in with the second generation of the same table.
"Then let's make up that." Gu Lu hung up the phone.
After the conversation with President Wang, he called Zeng Jie. At that time, one of the tallest F4 people, Gu Lu was the one who envied the most. To be honest, King Gulu forgot about the other person's appearance, only remembers that Zeng Jie is the supporting actor and likes to answer the teacher's words during class.
Compared to Panda Wei Jiao's attitude, she is unwilling to accept video shooting, and Zeng Jie's attitude is more vague. In the end, Gu Lu successfully convinced him at a small price.
Continue to work now, and today's task is 30,000 words, and has not been completed yet.
Writers only need to focus on writing, but readers have to consider more things, and they also need to urge updates and leave messages to novels.
"Ovi is also quite touching. I seemed to be a little tears when I watched the movie. I didn't expect that the novel version was even worse. For good works, film and television adaptations will only weaken the charm."
Even the weakened charm makes the movie successful, and both versions of "A man named Ovey decides to die" and "Otto who has no desire to live" make money.
"It's a pity that it still cannot achieve the depressive effect of pine nuts. Leave happiness for yourself and sadness for readers, the plan will be slowed down a little temporarily."
At around 4 pm, Gu Lu completed the typing task.
The time is almost the same. It should be nine o'clock in the morning of Paris time. It's time for my sister to get up. Gu Lu estimated that the time was enough to call him.
"Brother, what are you doing when calling me personally?" Gu Jiayu said the first sentence after answering the phone.
"I want to trouble you with Jiayu," Gu Lu said. "You see if you can buy Paris Saint-Germain's limited jerseys in the Middle Ark or the stadium."
< br>
Gu Lu added, "I will transfer it to you when the specific cost is spent."
"I thought it was a big deal. I'm very happy about this little thing." Gu Jiayu said immediately, "Haha, brother, you have plenty of living expenses for me, so it's not necessary at all." Gu Jiayu added to the phone, " Isn't it just a limited edition jersey from the Saint-Germain Club? Get two! ”
"One piece is enough," Gu Lu said.
Immediately, Gu Lu asked about his study abroad in Paris. The two chatted for a while.
"Okay, brother, I'm going to go out," said Gu Jiayu.
"Okay, call any time if you have anything," Gu Lu said.
"Brother, you feel that you are in good condition recently," Gu Jiayu suddenly said when he was about to hang up the phone.
"Oh?" Gu Lu couldn't understand.
"Because before, I remember that since you, brother, you will never ask me for help again, and you will find a way to solve everything yourself." Gu Jiayu said, "If you can ask me for help now, it's great." br>
"Have you been like this since the first day of junior high school?" Gu Lu asked.
"Brother, don't you remember it yourself? It doesn't matter. I always remember my brother's past, hehe." Gu Jiayu said, "I think this is better. The family cannot always give. And brother, please ask me for help. I I am also very happy that it is proven that I agree that I have the ability to help you."
"Okay, let's not talk about it for now, let's go out." After saying that, Gu Jiayu hung up the phone.
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
Gu Lu looked at the phone and thought, but he had never asked someone close to him for help before?
…………
Dangdang Reading is currently in a bad situation, and he is given a nickname, "State Network Xiao Zongheng". The Zongheng here refers to Zongheng Novel Network, a website that once brought away a number of great masters who wanted to compete with Qidian.
The ending is to become a nursing home for the great gods. There are many readers on the website and basically only read the works of the great gods. Therefore, the new writers will contribute to the articles, and each one will die. It was not until Qimao, the one under the back, got up and turned around the predicament.
Dangdang.com has built a reading website, and there are many readers, far exceeding many platforms that can read publishers for free.
But all of these traffic seem to be attracted by the martial arts works serialized by Gu Lu, and readers have not radiated to other works at all.
It's simply a "Gulu Nursing Home".
As the project leader, Lao Li has also been troubled. For example, if you send more coupons, or if you launch other works, you will get the "electronic peripherals of the four famous arresters". It is avatar pendants, wallpaper themes and other things.
It can have very little effect.
The company also gave the funds it should have given, basically giving the greatest support, and Lao Li couldn't get rid of the blame.
Therefore, Lao Li was frightened and said, "Dangdang Reading Network will not be given up..."
Lao Li called the deputy editor-in-chief to find a way to make the grade report look better and to give full play to some creative thinking.
How to create it? For example, Luckin Coffee can interpret losses as "anticipated profit." If we don’t send coupons, we will make sure to make money in the current sales...
Hearing the website editor-in-chief Lao Lin moved. He looked at his unconfident boss and was speechless. With this ability, how did he become the supervisor?
"The company's initial purpose was to complete the closed loop of online and offline books. If you buy books and read books, it's best to steal the Douban ecological niche. We are currently failing..." Old Lin, deputy editor-in-chief, said, He was interrupted by his superiors.
"There is no failure, but Dangdang Reading Network has not yet adapted to the market version." Lao Li corrected, "We currently have a very good daily active users."
"Editor Li, don't worry." Deputy Editor-in-Chief Lao Lin said, "Even if the initial strategic plan failed, did Migu Music survive for a while because of Jay Chou's copyright? So, as long as Teacher Gu Lu's martial arts Continue to serialize, our website has real user discussions, and the company will not give up."
After hearing what his subordinates said, Lao Li felt much less pressure because Gu Lu revealed that there were quite a lot of contents of the four famous arrests.
"Of course I know what you said. I just want to give the boss a good explanation. Okay, just go out if you have nothing to do." Old Li crossed the river to tear the bridge, and his anxiety was relieved. He did not thank him. Instead, his subordinates saw through his thoughts and gave him some advice. Angry and shame.
The duck was so stubborn that he didn't even have the courage to face the fear. Deputy Director Lao Lin sneered in his heart.
This is true. Lao Li, who has old and young, has a young man. No matter how courage is, it will be disintegrated when the job may be lost.
Deputy Editor-in-Chief Lao Lin used to be a martial arts reader, and "The Four Famous Captains" really awakened his interest in martial arts.
In fact, he knew in his heart why Lao Li became his boss because of his connections. It is an amazing connection to be able to move Gu Lulai to serialize martial arts novels.
"Society is the Internet, and connections are more important than ability." Old Lin sighed and said this with a close office door. No one should have heard of it.
Gu Lu has serialized the four famous arrest series for half a year (one month of suspension) and has accumulated a group of loyal readers.
In four months, the four thousand words of updates are updated every day in "The Boy's Relentless", "The Boy's Cold Blood", and "Meeting the Capital", and are currently serialized in "Against the Cold".
It is precisely because martial arts novels have been replaced by fairy tales and have become a very niche hobby, so the message area has a very healthy community environment.
"The ancient dragon has a male god, and Jin Yong has a goddess, and there are no animals that are most praised. Unexpectedly, Gu Lu's four famous arresters include both male gods and goddesses! Xihonglei is the heroine. Look at Qi Shaoshang. :Who cut off one of your arm...I must have caused him ten times more pain!"
"Gu Long's Gongsun Auntie. It makes me feel that Auntie is a dangerous name in martial arts, but Gu Lu's Xi Auntie asked me to bring a layer of filter to the Auntie in martial arts."
"I feel that the four famous arrest series are too grand. Qi Shaoshang, a little villain selected in "The Cong Jing", can be so exciting."
"This is the legendary highway martial arts, right? You chase me and you escape, and many forces appear on the way to chase and kill. I heard that Noon Sunshine is preparing to adapt the drama, so I am looking forward to it."
...
There are no martial arts writers unique to the parallel world, and animals are most praised as a pun. On the one hand, there is no description of the eagle that grows up with the male protagonist and the life-saving horse. These feelings with animals are well written. There are no more villains, real beasts.
The discussion areas are not all serious, and loyal readers have raised "questions" about this work.
"It's not like Gu's martial arts works at all. Women are not abused, and the decent are not traitors yet. When I see the plot development, the villain seems to be about to suffer, which is simply incredible!"
This comment received a lot of likes.
Lao Li, who was also in the browsing and comment area, smiled when he saw the remarks and began to leave messages. His ID is "Muzi", which is the same as the Penguin number. As a person, when he is old, he doesn’t like to change his name and avatar.
Mu Ziqi: [Do you really think that Teacher Gu Lu’s works praise the beauty of human nature? When he debuted, he almost didn't even dare to appear in "Story Meeting". So the beautiful characters in the previous few movies ended up miserably, and the villain did not die, which happened to be Teacher Gu Lu's debut style. ］
The dog survived sneakily. In the quiet environment, Gu Lu and the people from the diplomatic department flew to Moscow together.
It is also the day when "Escape to God" is exhibited as a congratulatory article from China.
