Editorial Department of "New Tide"
Xu Lan's eyes shone brightly.
I just received a reply from Jian Shen.
She read that "immature idea" word by word.
He immediately dialed the internal phone next to his desk.
"Editor-in-chief! I have synced Professor Jian Shen's reply to your email!"
"The teacher brought up a very interesting idea this time!"
Her voice was filled with barely suppressed excitement.
Wang De'an adjusted his reading glasses and quickly opened the email.
When he saw the sentence in the email, "Let those who have received warmth pass on that warmth,"
His hand trembled slightly.
"A lighthouse...a lighthouse that never goes out..."
He muttered to himself, his eyes burning even brighter than Xu Lan's.
Xu Lan also quickly arrived at the editor-in-chief's office.
I saw Wang De'an sitting in his seat, muttering to himself.
"I understand! I completely understand!"
Wang De'an slammed his hand on the table, startling Xu Lan.
"Xiao Xu, Professor Jian Shen is giving us some pointers!"
"What he wanted was not a best-selling book, but a cultural symbol that could continue to shine and generate positive energy!"
"The Miracles of the Namiya General Store cannot just be a serialized story! It must become a physical book, a real lighthouse that can be touched and passed on!"
Wang De'an's chest heaved violently, and he felt his blood boiling.
He had dedicated his entire life to pure literature, and had never felt this way before.
I felt so close to a great innovation.
"Immediately! Convene an emergency meeting!"
"I want to get the standalone volumes of 'The Miracles of the Namiya General Store' out as quickly as possible!"
Half an hour later, the atmosphere in the conference room of "New Tide" was as lively as if it were New Year's Day.
"I suggest including a 'digital message in a bottle' QR code at the end of each book!"
"This is great! Readers can scan the QR code to write down their troubles."
You can also randomly draw a letter and reply as 'Grandpa Namiya'!
This is a complete extension of Professor Jian Shen's philosophy!
"We'll open another official social media account called 'Reply to Your Worries'."
Regularly publishing outstanding reader responses—wouldn't that create interaction?
"This is no longer just publishing; it's creating a great cultural IP!"
Wang De'an listened to his subordinates' lively discussion with a gratified smile on his face.
However, an untimely voice rang out amidst the fervor.
"Editor-in-chief, I personally think this matter should be considered more carefully."
The crowd's enthusiasm was drawn to the sound.
Speaking,
He is Liu Feng, a very senior editor in the editorial department.
He adjusted his glasses.
The somewhat gloomy look in his eyes behind the glasses seemed out of place with the lively atmosphere around him.
"oh?"
Wang De'an also looked at him.
“Tell me your reasons.”
"Editor-in-chief, the popularity of 'The Miracles of the Namiya General Store' is currently far too high. As the saying goes, too much of a good thing is bad."
I think we should let this cool down for a while.
Releasing the single volume after market sentiment has stabilized might be more effective.
To avoid giving the impression that we're in a rush to make money.
This sounds mature, prudent, and reasonable.
But Wang De'an was at that moment in the midst of a passion for creating a new model of literature.
"Old Liu, your thinking is too outdated!"
Wang De'an waved his hand dismissively, directly rejecting his suggestion.
"What is popularity? Popularity means striking while the iron is hot! That's called going with the flow!"
"Moreover, we originally intended to publish it, and Professor Jian Shen knew that we were embarrassed to talk about it, so he gave us a great way out."
"That's settled then. I'll personally go to Bailu Publishing House tomorrow. We must push this through with the highest standards and the fastest speed!"
The conference room was once again filled with high spirits.
Liu Feng sat in the corner.
Looking at the triumphant Wang De'an, a cold glint flashed in his eyes that went unnoticed by anyone.
He quietly lowered his head and sent a message on his phone under the table.
The fish, without taking the bait, leaps over the dragon gate on its own.
...
Jiangsu Province, Nanjing.
Headquarters of October Magazine, Deputy Editor-in-Chief's Office.
Fang Zhenyun looked at the message on his phone.
His face was so gloomy it looked like it could drip water.
He didn't expect that,
That person was not only unyielding, but also refused to give them a chance to talk.
Now, it's going to be published directly.
He knew very well that once the standalone volume of "The Miracles of the Namiya General Store" was published,
And it successfully maintained its online influence.
Then the name Jian Shen will become an independent and unshakeable cultural symbol.
By then, it will be extremely difficult for him to recruit or suppress them.
"Want to jump straight from the pond into the sea?"
Fang Zhenyun sneered, a fierce glint in his eyes.
"The sea of literature is a very turbulent place; not every fish can swim in safely."
"Editor-in-chief, do you need me to... utilize some of the media resources we collaborate with?"
The assistant standing nearby asked cautiously.
