Chapter 196 Xiao Xue said
As soon as he stretched himself, he heard the cracking sound of the joints.
Of course he doesn’t think he is a loser, but every time he wants to take action, he is affected by foreign affairs. Gu Lu loves exercise at heart!
I must run today.
"Nowadays, a person always feels lost when listening to music alone. I hallucinate you whispering softly in my ear..." The bell rang.
Gu Lu's cell phone ringtone is a song from the "Sleepwalking Plan" album released by Xu Song in July last year. There are only two of the three Internet giants in the world.
He took out his phone and glanced at the screen. The caller was Editor Xue.
When the phone was connected, Gu Lu just said hello, and Xiao Xue told him the reason for the call very efficiently.
"It doesn't matter, it proves that our "New Reading" also produces wonderful works." Gu Lu responded.
Xiao Xue informed that Yue Ge was defeated in the voting as the main text of the competition. Of course, "Iron Pillar" is still impregnable.
Singing the Moon Song in the White House, if you don't look closely, the story is a bit vague. It was an unexpected surprise for Gu Lu to be able to persist for four or five months and get an extra four to five thousand bonus for defending the competition.
"Teacher Gu is also working very hard this year on "Yesterday's Park" and "Mr. Holmes". There are two novels to be published in the first half of the year." Xiao Xue said.
"Okay?" Gu Lu answered hesitantly, because the editor on the other end of the phone gave him the impression that he was always ready to give someone a try.
So Gu Lu is a little cautious.
New Star Publishing House plans to publish Mr. Holmes in April this year, and New Youth Publishing House plans to publish it in mid-March.
Generally speaking, an author's books and stage will basically be signed with the same publishing house, but Gu Lu's style spans a wide range and is unusual.
"I noticed a phenomenon. I don't know if it's right or not. Teacher Gu can just listen to it." Xiao Xue said.
"Teacher Gu is currently quite famous in the fields of reasoning and fairy tales, as well as science fiction." Xiao Xue said, "But the three do not intersect, and they have not reached the result of 1+1+1=3. Let alone more than three.”
It makes sense, Gu Lu listened more carefully.
“A writer who spans multiple themes is a good publicity point. If you make good use of it, the sales of "Mr. Holmes" and "Yesterday's Park" will increase by at least 20%, which is not a small amount." Xiao Xue Said, "Because when readers buy books now, many of them will buy them for the author. The quality of the book is not important."
Twenty percent, 100,000 copies sold equals 20,000 copies, which is really a lot!
Although Xiao Xue gave people blood injections, the suggestions he gave were all meaningful.
"Thank you, Editor Xue, I will discuss it carefully with the publisher." Gu Lu thanked him, thinking of the scene of the book signing held last month.
"You're welcome. Originally, this matter had nothing to do with me. I just felt sorry to see Teacher Gu miss this opportunity." Xiao Xue said.
It sounds so familiar... Gu Lu looks a bit familiar.
"If Teacher Gu has time and inspiration, he can write another thriller and suspense novel. I look forward to Teacher Gu taking the title back," Xiao Xue said.
First make excellent suggestions, and then ask for a draft. A set of silky small combos, how can you refuse?
“If you have inspiration, you will definitely vote.” Gu Lu responded, if there is a chance, it means synthesizing corresponding works.
"I won't disturb Teacher Gu's writing. In addition, I sent a promotional case to Teacher Gu's mailbox. If you have free time, Teacher Gu can use it as a reference." After saying this, Xiao Xue hung up the phone. Not sloppy at all.
Xiao Xue is no longer the original editor-in-chief, because he was basically responsible for promoting the magazine reform, so his boss, Editor-in-Chief Dong, was successfully promoted and concurrently served as deputy president.
The reform of "New Reading" has also been very successful, and it has become the most popular supernatural propaganda magazine in China. His boss got a promotion and a salary increase, and Xiao Xue also became deputy editor-in-chief.
Although there is no actual practice at the moment, Xiao Xue believes that if he continues to roll up the books and makes Editor Dong the president, he will be able to serve as the editor sooner or later...
Gu Lu, who was about to go out for exercise, sat down again In front of the computer, turn on the computer. Email name: "Anthony's Case Analysis"
This is an analysis of a writer named Anthony.
""The Long Years with Anthony", yes, yes, I seem to have heard of this book, although I don't know what it is about." Gu Lu continued to read.
This book was published in 2008 and has sold three to four million copies so far. It even ranked 7th on the list of the richest people in 2012.
As a collection of travel essays, it has such sales volume just because it is “handsome”!
The writer Anthony himself is good-looking and attractive enough for passers-by to buy books.
In Editor Xue's opinion, "handsomeness" and "genius student writer" are both publicity points, and the latter has greater advantages.
Mystery novelist + supernatural novelist + fairy tale novelist + student who won the first grade of Ye Cup = a big seller
The specific and feasible operation plan is as follows...
"Editor Xue should become an operations editor Ah, being an editor is a waste of talent.”
Gu Lu benefited a lot from taking the time to read it.
He called Xinxing Publishing House and New Youth Publishing House and made some corrections according to Editor Xue's plan, because the former did not know that "Bingguo" was about to be published.
Three publishing houses and three books were jointly released at the same time!
This kind of major matter cannot be discussed clearly in one meeting, so we only discussed it in general in the afternoon.
It is not easy to make money. Gu Lu spent the entire afternoon sitting in front of the computer, motionless. After doing it, his neck and back were rebelling...
If Goldfinger could choose at will Books, firstly "Ghost Blowing Out the Lamp", and then "Stealing the Dragon and the Silent", all four major Internet masterpieces.
Don’t worry about art or not, you can make money!
Gu Lu just thought about it and had no intention of complaining.
He is very satisfied that the synthesis can be triggered now.
He holds a treasure trove of the future (the little prince) and has a good social status, at least at the top of high school students.
In this case, he must reward himself. Gu Lu opened QQ and wanted to go out to have a meal with Xiaotian, but he didn’t type anything because he saw the message he sent about a week ago, but the other party didn’t reply. .
Since I am so busy, I will not make an appointment again. It would be embarrassing if I don’t reply.
Just look for Li Guyuan.
"Should we eat tonight? I don't have time. I'm at Mudong Middle School in Banan. It might be eight or nine o'clock before I get back to the sandy area after finishing my work."
The time doesn't match up.
Gu Lu then remembered that before the holiday, Li Guyuan said that he wanted to "unify colleges and universities." If in the episodes of the ultimate series, Li Guyuan would be more or less KO2.
"Tomorrow - no, I have to come to Banan tomorrow too. I've been very busy these days. When I'm done, come directly to my house to eat. I'll ask my mother to cook your favorite dishes. .”
"Okay, the person I'm waiting for is here, hang up first..."
A busy beep came from the other end of the phone.
The boat I'm waiting for hasn't come yet, and the person I'm waiting for doesn't understand yet. My loneliness sinks silently into the sea. A piece of lyrics suddenly wanders in my mind. It's so familiar but I can't remember the title of the song.
"I remember that the class had a lot of homework during the winter vacation. Don't Tang Yuan do any homework?" Gu Lu pondered, he didn't have any homework, but other students should have a lot of homework!
One of Gu Lu's pleasures is to see his classmates working so hard without having to be tortured by homework.
Now, snap, the happiness is gone.
