In the Palace Museum, Wang Yong and others were high-fived in celebration.Originally, according to the schedule, after the first trial of the draft of the canon of Chinese culture, the second and third trials will be carried out, and the errors and omissions will be revised and corrected.But what I didn't expect was that after the first-instance inspection of Wang Yong, Chiba Maki and others, there was no flaw in the first draft, Wang Yong didn't believe it at first, and read it again from beginning to end, and then excitedly took the case, shouting: "We have created a miracle after going through the manuscript, who would have thought that compiling such a book could actually do the first draft without any mistakes", "awesome", "awesome" A group of scholars also said happily, and they were shocked by themselves.The review of the manuscript proves the seriousness and hard work of the editorial board members, and for them, this is the greatest praise for their hard work during this time."
I announce that the canon of Chinese culture will be officially finalized today, and it will be completed," Wang Yong stood in the center of the office and said in a loud voice.The scholars applauded."
Teacher, you've got what you wanted."
At this time, Li Hongwei ran into the house and handed Wang Yong a few things.Everyone looked over curiously, but saw Wang Yong holding a brush, a knife, and a bamboo board in his hand."
Other people have a finale ceremony after filming, first, we are short of money, and second, we are not suitable for big operations.So simply carry out a finishing ceremony. ”Wang Yong explained.After speaking, Wang Yong laid the bamboo board the same size as the keyboard on the table.This bamboo board also has an emerald green skin, Wang Yong is full of thick ink, and solemnly writes four words on the green skin.Canon of Chinese Studies.Then he picked up the knife and snorted, and the blade cut through the green skin accurately, just like peeling an apple, peeling off the green skin of the entire bamboo board.This is the original meaning of the word final.In ancient times, people wrote the handwriting on the slips, because the green skin of the bamboo slips is very smooth, if you write it wrong or there is a sentence that is not written correctly, gently move your fingers, rub it away, it is very convenient.The first draft was written on the green skin.Only after the revision is completed and confirmed to be perfect, the green skin will be peeled off to reveal the white core of the bamboo slips.At this time, if you write on the bamboo slips, the pen and ink will seep into the bamboo core, and it cannot be changed, even if it is officially finalized.Finishing is the process of peeling off the green skin of bamboo slips.The room is full of famous scholars, and Wang Yong's move doesn't need much explanation at all.Everyone saw the green skin with the four words of the canon of Chinese culture on the ground, and their hearts were as relieved as if they had fulfilled a long-cherished wish."
Next, please write your names on it, and leave a souvenir for our compilation team."
Wang Yongdao."
Chiba sensei, let's come first," Liu Gaizhi said to Chiba Mako.Chiba Zhenxi shook his head: "I don't dare to take credit, this first name, I think it should be Teacher Li Zaixian first." ”Li Zaixian also waved his hand: "I just did a little bit of work, how dare I be the first to write that I am tired enough after being busy with Teacher Gu during this time, and I am the oldest in our group, so I should come first." ”Gu Xinde excused himself: "There is a specialization in the art industry, and there is a precedence in hearing the Tao.I'm a little older, but that doesn't mean I can take the lead and change someone, change people" A group of scholars excused each other, but none of them were the first to write.Everyone knows that the first person to sign is the most important and plays a leading role.The first thing others see is this person.Although many people present thought that they were barely qualified to be the first to sign, how dare they say it, so there was a scene of mutual humility among everyone, and a few minutes passed, and the result was still undecided."
Why don't you come with a few teachers?"
someone suggested."
Okay, that's a viable idea.If we continue to be humble, I'm afraid we won't be able to sign it in the dark.A few teachers, let's go together," Chiba Maki invited.Li Zaixian, Gu Xinde, and Liu Gaizhi nodded and stepped forward.Just raised his feet, and they were all stunned.Because of the bamboo slips, there was an extra name Wang Yong didn't even notice it, Wang Yong was the first to write down the name in front of everyone, seeing that everyone was looking at him, Wang Yong couldn't help but say: "I'm afraid that you will be humble until it gets dark, so I have to sacrifice once and be willing to be the first bird."
Whether you want to hit me or scold me, come on, I can bear it"" Chiba Makoshi's face muscles twitched, helpless.As the editor-in-chief of the canon of Chinese culture, Wang Yong's first signature is theoretically no problem.However, Wang Yong didn't know how to give in, these scholars present didn't talk about reputation, just because of their age, they could be his grandfather if they brought one out, okay If this bastard was his own grandson, he would have killed a group of scholars angrily, but he didn't have any scruples, and he stepped forward one after another and wrote his name on the bamboo board.The ink seeps into the core of the bamboo, and unless it is destroyed by devastating damage, the signature on this bamboo board cannot be erased.Dozens of members of the editorial board signed in turn.The whole bamboo board is densely packed with people's names, and they are put together with the thick manuscript paper of the canon of Chinese culture, giving people a strong sense of cultural solemnity."
I can't believe it's over."
Chiba Maki looked at the bamboo board and the manuscript paper and sighed."
Yes, although it is very tiring and hard, but this time is really a pure time.I'm afraid there will never be such an opportunity again," Lee Jae-xian also sighed."
Actually, it's not officially finished, don't forget our previous ambition, but we still want to publish an English version."
Gu Xinde reminded."
The English version seems to be here for a few more days, I don't know if I should thank Old Man Gu or hate him," Liu Gaizhi teased.The crowd burst into laughter.In fact, whether it is the Oriental version, the Korean version, or the English version, the main thing to do is to translate the language.At most, one or two people who are proficient in the language of the version will be responsible for controlling the scale and value orientation of the translation.It didn't take many people, but everyone volunteered to stay, and it was clear that everyone was getting used to and enjoying the purely academic atmosphere.It's just that other people can enjoy the atmosphere, but Wang Yong cannot.Wang Yong also has to be responsible for the follow-up publicity and distribution of the canon of Chinese culture."
Hey, Qian Xiaozheng, how is the matter for you to do" Wang Yong walked outside the door and called Qian Xiaozheng and asked."
Can you rest assured that I can do something, a proper Yanjing publishing house is willing to cooperate with us to publish, and the final income will be divided into three or seven shares."
Wang Yongyi frowned: "Cooperative publishing, I thought that at least I could mix up the planned book publishing quota, but it was too insincere."
Cooperative publishing is a form of publishing by publishing houses.Generally, the author of the book bears the cost of design, production and printing, and then the publishing house is responsible for the market operation and distribution of the book, and the final income is divided in half.In other words, if the canon of Chinese culture wants to be published, Wang Yong has to pay a sum of money himself.The form of publication without paying for it is the planned publication that Wang Yong said.In this form of publishing, the publisher chooses the topic on its own, and believes that a certain book has good market prospects, so it negotiates with the author to buy out, and pays the author the manuscript fee at the same time, and also gives a certain share of the sales.I didn't expect that the canon of Chinese culture was not even mixed with the treatment of planned publication.Hearing Wang Yong's complaints, Qian Xiaozheng was also full of complaints: "Big brother, this is already the most sincere family."
Generally, cooperative publishing is five or five points, and people are willing to take only 30%, which proves their sincerity.And we don't have a choice.Because the entire Yanjing is willing to publish our book on this publishing house, "what" Wang Yong was stunned.Immediately understood, it must be Zhou Daoli and others behind the scenes, this group of people formed a monopoly circle in Yanjing, and almost controlled the entire cultural channels of Yanjing.The publishing industry is obviously also their sphere of influence, even if some publishing houses are optimistic about Wang Yong's book, they dare not offend Zhou Daoli and cooperate with Wang Yong.And the publishing house that Qian Xiaozheng talked about is not large in scale and its benefits are not good.belongs to the category of broken jars, and I don't care if I offend Zhou Dao carp.The canon of Chinese culture is not selling well, they are nothing more than the difference between going out of business one day early and one day late; If the sales of the canon of Chinese culture go up, then they will come back to life.Will they care about what Zhou Dao Carp Zhou Dao Carp will not give them a sum of money to let their publishing house continue to live.So the publishing house finally decided to cooperate with Wang Yong and take a gamble.If the bet is right, one person will ascend to heaven; If you make a mistake, close the door early.In this case, the form of cooperative publishing does not seem to be so difficult for Wang Yong to accept.Others even bet on the fate of the publishing house, which can be said to support Wang Yong, what else does Wang Yong want, "I understand, just them, I will send the manuscript over as soon as possible, this time it is a war against the current, if you can't go up, you can only be pushed off the cliff by the current."
But I'm confident that I'll give Zhou Daoli's gang of bastards a resounding slap in the face, and their good days should come to an end. ”Wang Yong's firm way."
Hehe, follow you, I have confidence."
Qian Xiaozheng smiled."
By the way, I helped you win a publicity opportunity, do you want to come" "What opportunity" "I chatted with the person in charge of our live broadcast website, as an emerging industry, live broadcast websites have not been infiltrated by those in the traditional academic circle.Our website manager also likes you and agrees to give you a free promotion.If you agree, you will come to Yanjing tomorrow and do an exclusive interview in my live broadcast room. ”Qian Xiaozheng said.Wang Yong pondered slightly, and then nodded: "Yes."
Network promotion is also an important part of publicity, thank you website owner for me.By the way, I also happened to send the manuscript of the canon of Chinese culture to the publishing house. ”Wang Yong made an appointment with Qian Xiaozheng and hung up the phone.The battlefield on this side is over, but the battlefield on the other side has just begun.Whether the canon of Chinese culture can become a classic that affects the world depends on who wins the next war.
