Only Xie Jinghu himself knows whether his brain has been pinched by the door.
Zou Weijun’s head might have been pinched by the door before, but now there is absolutely no problem.
As soon as the novel of the same name "Galaxy and You" was released on the market, sales channels across the country gave positive feedback. The book was snapped up as soon as it was released, and good news came frequently. It is hard to say how high the reviews were, but the sales volume must have been high.
Although Wen Ying only gets 6% of the royalties, if millions of copies are sold... the royalties will not be a small amount of money.
However, what made Zou Weijun even happier was that he signed Wen Ying's new book "Xun Yong". Zou Weijun himself had high hopes for this book. After the two books "Teenage Idol" and "Star River and You", Wen Ying's level of improvement was particularly evident in "Xun Yong".
Zou Weijun has privately lamented to Xiao Niu more than once: "Wen Ying is truly talented, but she needs someone to guide and urge her to constantly challenge herself and strive for excellence!"
Smart people always have many choices. Wen Ying could easily succeed if she did something else instead of writing novels. If no one urged her, Wen Ying might really take another path one day.
Zou Weijun doesn't care whether Wen Ying is needed in other fields. As a publisher, she would rather watch a literary star rise and shine forever.
After the essay contest ended, Zou Weijun took advantage of the momentum to launch a collection of outstanding participating stories, and the winning works of the long-form group are to be published. Chengdu Literature and Art Publishing House has really reaped a great harvest this year.
These are the achievements Zou Weijun made after he was transferred to the Literature and Art Publishing House.
With the best-selling of Wen Ying's "Teenage Idol" as an introduction, "Xinghuo" magazine and essay competition, this series of operations completely boosted the Chengdu Literature and Art Publishing House, and it forced its way into the "youth literature" market and took a share of the pie!
A publishing house that can produce bestsellers of youth literature can also produce other books. With its reputation, it can attract more outstanding authors.
Zou Weijun's achievements not only made him famous within the Chengdu Publishing Group, but it was also said that a publishing group from outside the province had come to poach him, offering him very generous conditions. People at the Literature and Art Publishing House were privately discussing that ordinary people worked for better treatment, and Editor-in-Chief Zou might really be poached.
Zou Weijun seemed unaware of these discussions and worked with full energy and passion every day.
Song Foxiang secretly went to Xiao Niu to confirm, but was met with a cold stare from Xiao Niu: "Why are you joining in on the fun when others are talking nonsense? Sister Zou is doing so well here, why is she leaving?"
Song Foxiang also felt that Zou Weijun would not change jobs.
High salary cannot tempt Zou Weijun. If Zou Weijun is after money, he doesn't need to work at all. To be honest, although the man surnamed Xie is rude and vulgar, his wealth is indeed far greater than that of ordinary people.
Humph, what’s the use of having money? You’re just a nouveau riche. There’s no spiritual resonance between you and Xiao Zou at all!
Song Foxiang wanted to ask more details, but Xiao Niu changed the subject: "Song Chan submitted two new manuscripts to Spark. Would Editor Song like to take a look?"
The results of the essay writing competition came out last month. Based on readers' voting results, Song Chan won the third prize.
There are 12 authors who entered the semi-finals of the short story group of the essay competition. The ranking will be determined from the 12 authors. There will be one first prize with a cash reward of 200,000 yuan; three second prizes with a cash reward of 100,000 yuan; three third prizes with a cash reward of 50,000 yuan; and five excellent prizes with a cash reward of 20,000 yuan.
Song Chan won a prize of 50,000 yuan.
The arrogant Song Chan in the past would never be able to accept this result, but now she is quite satisfied with it.
After leaving the country, Song Foxiang's reputation was no longer effective. Without Song Foxiang's protection, Song Chan was able to more clearly understand her own abilities. Her manuscript was shortlisted because the judges recognized it. She ultimately only won third place because of a reader vote...her story wasn't appealing enough to readers.
Whether writers should stick to being themselves or create for the market is controversial in the literary world. Young Song Chan has plenty of time to think about her future creative path.
Song Foxiang felt very disgusted because he only won third prize!
The winning authors of the essay competition are all long-term recipients of commissions from Spark. Xiao Niu was afraid that Song Foxiang would not be able to review Song Chan's manuscript fairly and impartially, so all of Song Chan's manuscripts were reviewed by Xiao Niu personally. Song Foxiang had been itching to see them before, but he just couldn't see them, and was indeed diverted by Xiao Niu.
"Can I see?"
"Yes, but you can't give me your opinion because I won't accept it."
“…Never mind then.”
Song Foxiang waved his hand, "You saw it but you won't let me talk about it, so it's better not to see it."
Song Foxiang looked out the window with a melancholy face. As a father, he always has to face the growth of his daughter.
His melancholy lasted less than 3 seconds before Xiao Niu rushed him off to read the manuscript.
——There’s nothing I can do. My job position is not as high as Xiao Niu’s. When you live under someone’s roof, you have to bow your head!
Just as Xiao Niu drove Song Youni away, Wen Ying arrived.
"Teenage Idol" sold more than one million copies. Considering that Wen Ying had to focus on her studies, the publishing house never held a book signing event. Now that "Galaxy With You" is on the market and selling well, booksellers from all over the country have suggested to the publishing house that they should hold book signing events and fan meetings.
Yuan Fenghui felt that the more such activities the better, and Zou Weijun asked Wen Ying for her personal opinion.
Wen Ying has also learned her lesson and this time she reported to Chen Ru in advance.
It could be that Wen Ying's final exam result of "102nd in the grade" played a role, or it could be that Chen Ru's horizons were widening, and she saw from the ratings of "Star River With You" that Wen Ying's career development was unstoppable, or it could be that Wen Ying's initiative to report made Chen Ru feel respected. When Chen Ru heard that the publishing house was going to arrange a book signing event, she actually asked Wen Ying to cooperate.
The publishing house is fully promoting Wen Ying's works, and Wen Ying should also cooperate with the publishing house in the promotion.
