Chapter 325
"Zhang Chu, hurry up and go to Weibo. You can read it. It seems that your book "The Fifteenth Year of Wanli" has published several book reviews, and many media have summarized it."
Wei Xiaopang pointed to his computer screen and said, knowing that his friend was a powerful writer, but he never had such a clear understanding as he did at this moment.
"Oh my god, if these old experts knew that I called you to play games all night, your fans would probably beat me to death with the bench." Fu Deyu shouted exaggeratedly. When Zhang Chu was not around before, he felt that he was quite far away from him.
But now, the person who was abused by himself and others in the game actually has the love of millions of supporters and experts from all walks of life on the Internet, which is quite incredible!
Zhang Chu shook his head and said, "What's this? "Ghost Blows Out the Light" was much more popular than this before."
"Ghost Blows Out the Light is a novel, this is an academic work. How do you compare the two of them in the same type?" Wei Xiaopang took his phone and took a selfie, "Today I want to become an internet celebrity!"
"Please help me read the picture when uploading it. After all, I am a public figure, so I still need to be an image." Zhang Chu said funnyly.
The rest of the people in the box laughed and joked: "If Wei Xiaopang, if you send this photo, you will probably be fleshed out by his fans. You might as well pretend to be a fan encounter, and this might make a wonderful story."
"Forget it, let's play games. Zhang Chu doesn't care anyway."
...
I really didn't sleep all night, and when Zhang Chu came out of the taxi yawned, it was already past eight in the morning.
Matcha is too tired and can't rest in the Internet cafe. If it weren't for fear of strange places, it would have jumped out to play.
Chu Lan looked at the energyless matcha at this moment with distress. She turned around and criticized Zhang Chu: "You must be able to stay up all night, don't take the matcha out next time. Look at it like this, it's completely wilted!"
"Mom, don't be unreasonable, okay? Cats are originally hiding at night, and it is normal for them to work and rest all night."
Zhang Chu waved his hand. He planned to take a shower and then lie on the bed and have a good sleep. It was really tiring to play games. I'm afraid he won't want to play again in a short period of time.
However, before taking a shower, my stomach started to roar. Of course I was hungry if I didn’t eat anything all night, so I could only drink a box of milk and bread.
While he was eating, the phone call from Zhou Kang came in again, which was much better than calling when he was sleeping.
"Uncle Zhou? Is the publication finalized when I called so early?" Zhang Chu is most concerned about this issue now. At present, there are not many opinions sent back by experts, and there are almost not many places that need to be revised.
Since everyone wants to see this work, we should let it appear in front of everyone as soon as possible!
Zhou Kang's voice sounded a little hoarse. He looked at the quotation he received and briefly introduced it: "Yes, we have temporarily decided to continue to cooperate with Nanhai Publishing Company. They have given very generous conditions. Not only are they given the highest level of 15% on the royalties, but they also promised to print 1 million copies for the first time, pay 2 million RMB in advance, and promised to invite many history experts to help promote the "Fifteenth Year of Wanli", and increase the marketing costs of your previous books."
It is impossible for a writer to write only one work in his life. Although Zhang Chu is only publishing a slightly academic work like "The Fifteenth Year of Wanli", it can still promote the sales of previous works.
"Their plan is pretty good. "Detective Sherlock" will be premiered on BBC soon. This is completely a favor for us!" Zhang Chu complained, "Even if they don't sign a contract with us, they will increase their marketing costs."
February 1st is the premiere time of "Detective Sherlock" determined by BBC. Then one episode will be played every week, and the three-episode TV series will be broadcast throughout February.
No matter how much ratings are, the influence of this British drama will radiate to mainland China, and even make his debut works gain greater popularity in the world.
As for "Psychological Crime", the TV series of the same name and the movie have completed casting work and are under intense shooting. The movie is expected to be released during the New Year holiday this year.
It means that this work has its own traffic, and the actors' fans have spontaneously promoted it on the Internet.
Zhou Kang smiled, "It is precisely because of this reason that they want to contact you again. After all, "Sherlock" has been reprinted three times, so they are reluctant to throw away this money tree."
"Since that's the case, then you can help explain the reasons to other publishers or publishing companies. Also, urge Nanhai Publishing Company to let them list the book as soon as possible. If readers wait too long, they may forget it!"
Zhang Chu’s worries are not without reason. Now, even if "The Fifteenth Year of Wanli" is an academic historical work, some people will pay attention to it, but who will remember it after a month or two?
You have to strike while the iron is hot. When this popularity passes, you may not be able to achieve such good results even if you spend hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars on marketing.
"Gu Xinxue has promised me that their company will give the green light to this project and will use the least time to promote the listing!" Zhou Kang of course also knew Zhang Chu's idea, which is something they were more concerned about during negotiations.
For the normal process of a publisher, it takes several steps to go through.
First, the editor proposes the content to be published through market research. After three-level demonstration by the editor-in-chief, editorial room owner, publisher president or editor-in-chief, the publisher's topic selection review committee finally approved it and submitted it to the provincial press and publishing bureau for approval.
The provincial-level press and publishing bureau will review and approve book content in accordance with the national "Publishing Administration Regulations" and other laws, regulations and normal to ensure that the relevant topics are in compliance with national regulations and reported to the State Administration of Press and Publication for filing.
This is just a preparation process. The third step is to organize the manuscript and edit the process, that is, to sign a publishing contract with the author.
After finding the author, the fourth step of review is required, and the manuscript is reviewed at three levels, namely the editor-in-chief’s preliminary review, the editor-in-chief’s final review, and the editor-in-chief’s final review. Only after the third review will it be sent from the editorial department to the publishing and production department and enter the production process!
The application number is an indispensable link for any public offering of books, which is related to various information about books.
When determining the printing quantity and pricing, the book will be typeset and printed, and the printing factory will print it. It can only be distributed and sold after binding.
Of course, after Zhang Chu's works are given a green light, some of the processes can be omitted, and there is no need for editing and reviewing manuscripts. You just need to hurry up and report them to the General Administration of Press and Publication, and hurry up and proofread and type them!
You can't be careless during the packaging production stage, otherwise a good book will be stolen. The erotic book will be ruined.
"It's February soon. I hope they can get the book number and other things as soon as possible before the Spring Festival."
Chapter completed!
