"The book "Shattered Void" is not only my own book, but also the current key project of our publishing house. It must be done as quickly as possible, the sooner the better."
Upon hearing what Cao Zhiqiang said, Yu Deli, who was sitting under him, immediately put down his pen and said to his notebook: "Don't worry, general manager, we have sufficient ISBNs and the printing factory is ready, and you still have the complete manuscript, which we need." What I do is proofreading and typesetting.
In terms of proofreading and typesetting, we will go all out to get this book published as soon as possible. "
"Very good." Cao Zhiqiang nodded, "Then let me talk about mid-term and long-term projects."
Speaking of this, Cao Zhiqiang felt a little dry in the mouth, so he picked up a glass of water on the desk.
While Cao Zhiqiang drank water, the entire conference room was silent. Everyone watched Cao Zhiqiang drink water quietly, and no one made a sound.
Including Zhou Huaien, the nominal president, sitting above Cao Zhiqiang, and an unknown young girl sitting in the corner who didn't know where she came from.
After drinking half a glass of water, Cao Zhiqiang put down the water glass, cleared his throat and said: "Don't rush the mid-term project now. We'll talk about it later. I'll talk about the long-term project first."
Having said this, Cao Zhiqiang paused for a moment, organized his words, and then said: "That's right, everyone knows that as a publishing house, just publishing books is not stable enough, and there is no need to find so many of you.
In fact, before opening this publishing house, I wanted to open a magazine. It was just by mistake that I started this publishing house first.
But it doesn’t matter. The publisher can also open a magazine.
In other words, I plan to open another magazine under the name of Hongguang Publishing House.
Don’t worry about the first issue, it’s not a problem for us.
At yesterday's opening ceremony, you all met Director Chen of the Publishing Bureau.
Just yesterday, I talked with Director Chen of the Publishing Bureau about the issue of the magazine.
Director Chen promised me at that time that as long as we were ready, we could apply to him at any time and he would approve it immediately.
By the way, Director Chen was not drinking at that time and was very sober, and President Zhou was also present, right, President Zhou? "
Zhou Huaien was stunned for a moment, then quickly nodded with a smile: "Yes, I was there at the time. Manager Cao asked Director Chen this, and Director Chen also promised the magazine issue. I can testify to this."
Cao Zhiqiang smiled at Zhou Huaien, and then continued to face everyone: "Everyone knows that magazines can publish periodicals.
As for the issuers of magazines and periodicals, they can go to the post office, which is much more timely and has stronger reader stickiness.
In terms of overall influence, the influence of a journal is far greater than that of several books.
However, after all, we are a new company with a small staff, so I do not plan to create a realistic magazine, but to create a magazine that serializes martial arts and science fiction, plus modern social and emotional stories. It is a fantasy type, and the content is based on What do you think of magazines that focus on fiction? "
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other in confusion, but no one was the first to speak.
It was Yu Deli who, relying on his identity and relationship with Cao Zhiqiang, was the first to ask: "General Manager, do you mean to start a magazine similar to "Legends of Modern and Ancient Times"?"
"Yes, it's that kind of magazine!" Cao Zhiqiang nodded, "I just want to create a magazine similar to "Legends of Modern and Ancient Times"."
“However, when we founded this magazine, we wanted to receive a wider range of articles, not only serializing martial arts, but also serializing science fiction and modern emotions.
In short, as long as it is a fictional story, it can be included regardless of the category.
By the way, be sure to remember that it must be written on the cover of the magazine that the contents of this issue are all fictitious, and any similarities are purely coincidental! "
After Yu Deli heard this, he adjusted his glasses and said, "It would be good to start a popular literature magazine.
But General Manager, I don’t think it’s appropriate for you to have a hodgepodge of things like this.
After all, readers all have preferences, so in terms of magazine content, it is best to have a focus.
For example, if we focus on martial arts serials, we will focus on martial arts.
Focusing on science fiction, it mainly focuses on science fiction content.
It doesn’t matter if it is large and comprehensive, but there must always be a key point, otherwise it will give people a messy feeling and increase the difficulty of proofreading. "
"That's it." Cao Zhiqiang thought for a while, "Then, let's focus on martial arts and science fiction for the time being."
"Well." Yu Deli hesitated for a moment, and then said, "General manager, it's best to choose only one between martial arts and science fiction, and do both. Isn't it easy to conflict?"
"That's not true." Cao Zhiqiang chuckled, "Those who like to watch martial arts are also very receptive to science fiction.
On the contrary, if you like to watch science fiction, you can also watch martial arts.
Don’t worry, these two groups may seem unrelated, but they actually have a lot in common.
Combining these two contents will make it more distinctive. "
Indeed, although on the surface, science fiction and martial arts seem to be completely different categories, as a former Internet enthusiast, he clearly knows in stages that the two are actually similar in the eyes of readers.
Whether science fiction or martial arts, they are actually adult fantasies. Since they are adult fantasies, it is decided that these two categories are actually the same thing, but they have different focuses.
So combining the two, the effect should not be bad.
Seeing that Cao Zhiqiang had already made up his mind, Yu Deli stopped insisting and said, "Okay, I understand. Does that mean we have to make appointments for manuscripts now? Save one issue first?"
"Of course." Cao Zhiqiang said, "But there is no need to be so anxious. In fact, even if no one submits a manuscript, I still have a manuscript myself."
Speaking of this, Cao Zhiqiang smiled and said: "Actually, the "Shattered Void" I mentioned before can also be serialized in this new magazine. In this way, we can achieve mutual success.
Just to show the difference, in the magazine, in addition to serializing "Shattered Void", we can also add review items. You can write editor comments on it, or you can ask readers to write letters, write reader comments, whatever.
In addition, I have also written many other martial arts novels, such as "Looking for Qin", which is about to be completed, and I have just written the beginning and creative ideas, and there are many more. "
After a brief pause, Cao Zhiqiang pointed to his head and said: "Actually, at the beginning, my own was enough to support a magazine.
It's just that my workload is too much.
So my idea is that you find me some stenographers, I say, they write, and use this collective creation method to quickly present it.
I said that the whole process of writing by others will be recorded.
In this way, not only will errors and omissions be avoided, but also copyright issues will be avoided.
It's like I'm telling a story, and someone else records the story and then embellishes it.
If this book writing team has been working with me for long enough and they are on the same page, I can also just write or talk about the beginning, and then write or talk about the creative outline, and let them be responsible for the continuation.
In this way, we can quickly produce good content, and we don’t have to worry about insufficient journal content. What do you think? "
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other again, and finally looked at Yu Deli.
Yu Deli frowned, but still frowned and asked: "General Manager, what do you mean, we don't ask others to receive the articles, we publish all your own articles, but here, you don't write them yourself, you are only responsible for saying, Then someone else will write it, is that what you mean?"
"That's what I mean." Cao Zhiqiang nodded, "But it's not just about talking, I will also write the beginning, characters and outline during the period.
Well, to put it simply, it’s like taking a class.
I lecture at the top, and the writing group listens below. Then when I finish speaking, the writing group below brainstorms and co-creates an article based on what I think about. Do you understand? "
"It's a bit like writing a script." Sun Weihua said suddenly.
"That's right!" Cao Zhiqiang smiled and nodded.
Yu Deli glanced at Sun Weihua, and then said to Cao Zhiqiang: "General Manager, the script is different. Strictly speaking, there is no problem with the script when it is created by multiple people, but if you want to pursue continuity, it is easy for multiple people to create the script."
"Then what should I do?" Cao Zhiqiang frowned, "I have many good stories in my heart, but I just don't know how to present them.
If I had to write it all by myself, would it exhaust me to death?
I am handicapped, and I am very busy, so I cannot write many words in a day. "
Yu Deli said: "If that's the case, we can arrange a special writer for you.
You don’t need to have too many writers, one or two are enough, but you must have certain writing skills, and you must have a strong memory, be able to quickly remember what you can say, and you must be able to polish the content into a book yourself.
In this way, you are responsible for telling the story, and the writer is responsible for recording the story. Of course, the entire process is also recorded.
You only need to explain the story clearly, including the outline, characters, main plot, and sub-plots of the story. The rest of how to write the book is the job of the writer. Do you think this is okay? "
"It's okay, it's absolutely okay." Cao Zhiqiang said, "But one or two people are too few and not enough.
Otherwise, in order to increase the speed of publishing the book, I can tell different stories to different people.
In this way, a scribe is only responsible for the story I tell him. Each other's story is different and does not hinder it.
In this case, the chaotic situation you mentioned will not occur. What do you think? "
Yu Deli thought for a while and said: "Of course it is possible, but it will be very hard for you, because you will have to think about different stories, which will be very troublesome."
"I'm not afraid." Cao Zhiqiang waved his hand, "The stories in my mind are all ready-made. I just tell different stories to different people. It's not the same thing."
That's right, Cao Zhiqiang has a ready-made system. When the time comes, he only needs to read different things to different people.
This is like reading different texts with different people. You don't have to think about the plot yourself, so there is no need to worry about it.
"Just right!" Cao Zhiqiang looked at the six newcomers Yu Deli had found.
"The six of you are the pillars hired by Editor Yu, and you are young people with high energy and quick thinking.
How about this first, I will tell you one story individually for each of you, and then each of you will be responsible for serializing one, how about that? "
"Isn't this not good?" Yu Deli said first.
"What's wrong?" Cao Zhiqiang said, "That's it. You all arrange a class later, and I will explain it to you one by one. If you can't remember it for a while, you can go back and listen to the tape.
I don’t require you to be too good. You just need to be able to write down what I said completely in words and read it fluently. "
Indeed, Cao Zhiqiang has thought about it. If he reads the original version to everyone, the other person only needs to turn these contents into words, and there will be no difference.
After all, the most important thing about a good fast-food book is the plot and characters. As long as the plot and characters are good, there is actually no problem if the writing is a bit lacking.
And these people who can be found by Yu Deli should have no problem with basic writing skills.
People with problems will not be dragged in by Yu Deli, an old man.
Then the problem is simple.
As long as their writing skills are decent, and they just need to turn what they read into words and polish it a little, wouldn't it be a good book?
This process, Cao Zhiqiang is willing to call it - reverse sound engineering.
Using this method, his creation speed, no, plagiarism speed, can be quickly improved, not slower than typing, or even faster than typing.
Not bad, not bad. I am really a genius. I can come up with such a good method. I must give myself a thumbs up!
