It's the weekend.Xiao Bai didn't have classes in the afternoon, so he took a nap at noon, and after getting up, he rode to the small courtyard rented by the studio."
Lao Wei, Aunt Zhang, are you all there?"
Entering the house, Xiao Bai saw Wei Feng and Zhang Xuemei sitting in front of the office, each busy with something.Zhang Xuemei has arrived, and now the studio is only supported by the two of them."
Xiao Xiao, you came just in time, Teacher Zhang and I have something to look for you."
Seeing Xiao Bai coming in, Wei Feng and Zhang Xuemei hurriedly got up, Wei Feng stepped forward with a smile, and Zhang Xuemei went to make him a cup of tea."
Have something to do with me?
Then you say, I will listen to you, who will come first?
”Xiao Bai sat down at the Eight Immortals table, holding his own special large tea jar in his hand, and felt the heat coming from his palm.Now the weather is getting colder and colder, although the temperature has not yet fallen below freezing, but Star City is not heated in winter like the north, and the inside of the house is not much better than the outside."
Director Xiao, then let me talk about it first."
Zhang Xuemei took out a few pieces of manuscript paper from her desk drawer, and then sat opposite Xiao Bai, ready to talk."
Aunt Zhang, wait a minute, where did you get this title from?
There are three or two cats in our studio, don't be so serious, why don't you call me Xiao Xiao like Lao Wei?
”Xiao Bai was once called "Mr.
Xiao" and "Xiao Dong", and some people jokingly called him "big man" behind him, but this is the first time he has heard the title of "Director Xiao".Zhang Xuemei smiled slightly and said, "We are not a company after all, and it doesn't seem right to call the manager."
But rules are rules, no matter how few people are, they are also a collective, there must be a leader, right?
I think that's fine. ”Xiao Bai couldn't help but hold his forehead with his hand, sighed and said, "Aunt Zhang, you are casual."
What's that, let's get down to business" "Director Xiao, I think our studio always wants to create on its own, and the efficiency is a bit low.Do you think, just a few of us, how many works can we come up with in a year?
The two works are breaking the sky, which is not conducive to development.My opinion, can we release some ready-made works?
Of course, I don't agree with following others in the same footsteps, and the works still need to be carefully explored. ”Zhang Xuemei used to work for a small magazine, but she herself has strong business skills.If it weren't for her temper being too straight and not in harmony with the original editor-in-chief, she wouldn't have come to Xiao Bai.But now that she is here, she feels that she should be worthy of this salary, and it is not her character to mess around every day."
Aunt Zhang, your idea is very good.However, the strength of our studio is here, and well-known writers will not choose to cooperate with us.As for receiving the manuscript to the outside world, Lao Wei has been doing this work, but so far there is still no progress. ”Xiao Bai also knows very well that the number of people in his team is still too small, which is a hard injury, and there is no way to solve this problem in the short term.As for the publication and distribution of ready-made works, there is no need to think about the works of well-known writers in the mainland, and writers outside the mainland, such as the works of Jin Daxia, can be published at will.The problem is that a large number of various versions of Jin Daxia's works have already been published, and it is a bit late to follow the trend.Xiao Bai's reaction was expected by Zhang Xuemei, she smiled, raised a few pages of manuscript paper in her hand and said, "I knew you would say this, you see, I have already selected some works."
Among them, I would like to especially recommend Mr.
Xiao Yat's Drinking Horse Liuhua River and Ma Mingfeng Xiao Xiao.Mr.
Siu's works are elegant, graceful and elegant, and these two books are classics among his works, and I am very optimistic about them.What's more, Mr.
Siu's works just landed in the mainland at the end of last year, and there are only a few of his early books on the market, so we can seize the opportunity as soon as possible. ”As she spoke, Zhang Xuemei handed Xiao Bai a piece of manuscript paper full of book titles.When Xiao Bai saw the list of works of Xiao Yi, a famous martial arts artist, he couldn't help but have a moment of trance.When he was young, he also liked Xiao Yi's books, this one is a great writer alongside Jin Daxia, and is known as "South Jin and North Xiao"."
Has Mr.
Xiao's work just landed on the mainland?
This is really an opportunity.However, his work is hard to find, right?
If there is no manuscript and sample book, what kind of typesetting and printing can we take?
”In this day and age, there is no way to get in touch with overseas writers, and they will not authorize the distribution of books in the mainland.At present, even martial arts published by regular publishing houses, such as Jin Daxia's works, are also without any authorization.Therefore, if you want to publish and distribute, you can only reprint."
Director Xiao, you don't have to worry about this, if I didn't have a sample book, I wouldn't have made this suggestion.I have a lot of Mr.
Siu's works in my hands, all of which I brought from Xiangjiang.For example, for a book like Ma Mingfeng and Xiao Xiao, I have finished proofreading, and at the same time I have re-transcribed it while proofreading.As you know, the books on the Xiangjiang side are all in traditional Chinese. ”Zhang Xuemei couldn't help but feel a little proud when she said this, she left the original publishing house in a rage, which had something to do with it.Her former editor-in-chief did not like the works of Xiao Yat, who was not well-known in the mainland, so she firmly disagreed with the publication of the two books she recommended.You must know that Zhang Xuemei spent a lot of effort on the proofreading of Ma Mingfeng Xiao Xiao's book, and it is not an easy job to recopy it in simplified Chinese.Half of the reason why Zhang Xuemei is willing to work in Xiao Bai's studio is to let these two books go on the market, and the other half is of course forced by life.With the other party's age, it is not easy to be willing to do this hard work!
Wei Feng sat in front of the office and opened his mouth wide.He thinks he is very diligent, but compared to Zhang Xuemei, he is really nothing."
Aunt Zhang, I really admire you a little.There's nothing to say, just because you've put in so much effort, we have to publish it as soon as possible.In this way, I will contact the publication and distribution when I go back, and we will do what we say!
”Xiao Bai knows very well that these two books will definitely be popular, and if they can be released and listed first, it is certain that they will make a lot of money."
Director Xiao is really courageous!
However, the proofreading of the drinking horse Liuhuahe has not been completed yet, so let's push Ma Mingfeng Xiao Xiao out first. ”Zhang Xuemei smiled with relief, she wanted to find a temporary place to eat, but she didn't expect that the young little boss gave her a big surprise."
Teacher Zhang, I'll proofread the rest of the book with you, so that the progress will be faster."
Wei Feng felt that he should do something, he was not for credit, but purely for work.Xiao Bai nodded and said, "Then arrange the old guard like this first, don't you also have something to find me?"
Now it's your turn to speak. ”"Ahem, what, that's actually one thing.Teacher Zhang said that she has a way to buy a book number and go through the issuance procedures, so I want to ask you if you have this plan here?
”Wei Feng actually knew that Xiao Bai had cooperated with his cousin Jiao Yang the first two times, and when he said this, he had a bit of a sense of persuading Xiao Bai to go it alone.He also thought about it again and again before deciding to talk to Xiao Bai about it, and he didn't care what the boss decided."
Well, that's a bit more about that.Aunt Zhang, are you sure there is a way to buy a book number?
”Zhang Xuemei is a senior editor of the magazine, and Xiao Bai believes that she really has a way to buy a book number and go through the distribution procedures, but she still needs to confirm it."
Of course, I'm not kidding about that."
Zhang Xuemei nodded solemnly and gave Xiao Bai an affirmative answer.
