Editor-in-chief Xu has been working in the industry for more than 20 years. Nowadays, there are very few works that can make his eyes light up at first sight. But this time he sat down and read a section, and suddenly he understood why Lao Lu cried.
The whole story is clearly a comedy. The medical student travels to ancient times and lives in a completely different environment. She does not understand the rules of the ancient times, so she makes all kinds of ridiculous jokes. However, the tone of the whole comedy is very sad, and the language is witty and humorous. After reading and laughing, readers can't help but feel a lingering loneliness.
The heroine seems to be out of tune with the whole world. Her words and deeds make her feel extremely lonely.
She likes someone, but she doesn't dare to marry him. Sometimes they look sweet and sweet, and when they communicate, they feel creepy.
Editor-in-chief Xu couldn't help but get goosebumps as he watched. Suddenly he felt that he wanted to go home and give his wife and baby daughter a good hug.
Being a girl is really hard!
He couldn't help feeling pity for his children.
With a surge of heat in his heart, Chief Editor Xu exhaled and solemnly said: "This Teacher Ah Qing, Lao Lu, you should be careful with her, and be sure to comfort me."
Lu Dagang hadn't slept all night. Now, with his eyes bare, he wiped his face and responded heavily.
There was no need for the editor-in-chief to say that he read the manuscript submitted by Teacher A Qing again last night. He was so moved that he could not sleep over and over all night, and he kept fantasizing about the world in the book in his mind.
"Teacher Ah Qing is really good at exaggerating the atmosphere!"
Mu Qingyun also saw from the generous remuneration offered to her by the editors that the Historical Research Society was very satisfied with her book "Red Sleeves and the Red Mansion".
She didn't find it strange either.
'Time travel' is a very new element nowadays. A novel like her reveals a grand view of history. Nowadays, few people use it in popular literature. The whole story is full of freshness at once.
Once launched, it immediately became a 'hot item' among 'hot items'.
Not to mention this group of editors, even Mu Qingyun herself did not expect that readers would like her book so much.
In fact, the magazine of the Historical Research Society is called "History Playing". It has its own readership and is medium-sized. In recent years, it usually prints 100,000 copies.
This time it was the same as usual.
Magazines with stable sales like this usually seldom change their printing numbers.
Editor-in-chief Xu liked Mu Qingyun very much, but after careful consideration, he did not increase the printing quantity of their magazine from the beginning.
He felt that no matter how good the work was, it still needed a process of word-of-mouth fermentation. When the first issue was serialized, it did not cause much of a sensation.
If Editor-in-Chief Xu had any eyesight, he would definitely roll his eyes at himself.
The autumn wind is howling.
The intern editor of the magazine hurriedly ran to the company against the wind. As soon as he opened the door, his hair stood up in fear and he shivered.
The ringing of the phone flew out through the door like crazy, making the ears hurt.
He was in a trance for a moment, then came to his senses and rushed over to answer the call. He tried his best to use all his patience to coax the little princess at home. He opened his mouth and was about to say some kind words when he heard a quick, slightly rough and hoarse voice coming from inside. It was an anxious questioning voice: "Are you 'joking about history'? Have Xia Mian and Fang Xiaoxing escaped? Is the young marquis a good guy or a bad guy? When will your next issue be released?"
Editor: "??"
Ring ring ring——
All day long, the editors in the office were so thirsty as they answered the phone that they almost considered hiring a few employees specifically responsible for answering the phone.
Editor-in-chief Xu was sitting in his office, listening to the various complaints from the editors outside. He raised his glasses and felt warm in his heart.
He feels that the influence of his own magazine may increase to a certain extent. Although the main purpose of their research society is not the magazine 'Joking History', it is also a very important mouthpiece of the research society. Who doesn't want to have The more people watch, the more people pay attention.
It's just that they were tepid before, so they pretended to be indifferent and pretended to be different from competing with the various magazines. But if they can beat others, who wouldn't be happy?
Sure enough, on the second day, calls came in from all over the country urging the shipment, trying to establish friendships and relationships, and all wanted to rush to get the book first.
"Old Xu, we have been friends for a long time. Please hurry up and send me the eleven issues of this year's magazine. I want 8,000 copies."
"Brother Wang, Jianghu is in an emergency. If you don't give me this magazine right away, I'll squat in front of your office right now. I'll eat you to death three times a day! I don't want more. I'm a small business. I'll give you a thousand copies first." Can it be done?"
"..."
Chief Editor Xu: "..."
You want one thousand, I want five hundred, which is not much, but all over the country, in all corners of the country, even newspaper shops and bookstores in some small counties, began to make frantic phone calls, mainly asking for "Urgent reminder", they are It's really hard to bear.
Although the circulation is 100,000 copies, they are not printed out in one go. They always print 30,000 copies at the beginning. If the sales are good, they will continue to add more. After a month, it will be good to add 100,000 copies. .
Good thing now, 30,000 copies are not enough to fill the gap between teeth. I worked overtime overnight and printed all 100,000 copies in three days. With the full fragrance of ink, I loaded them up overnight and sent them to all over the world.
Within two days, everyone said that their copy of "History in Play" was sold out and urgently needed to be replenished. The 100,000 copies were not available even in five days.
Editor-in-Chief Xu: "...an additional 100,000, no, 200,000 copies!"
Xiongxian is a small county, so the news is actually relatively lagging behind, but the speed at which students follow fashion is not much different from other places.
A few days later, when Mu Qingyun came out of the school gate, he saw a promotional poster posted on the newspaper stop opposite. It was the cover of "Joking History".
The beauty wearing a fox mask on the cover, the heroine Xia Mian, is a portrait of Xia Mian drawn by Mu Qingyun on a whim.
When Mu Qingyun paused for a moment, he saw that several students next to him wanted to buy "Joking History". It seemed that they had read their classmates' magazines at school, but ended up leaving class without finishing.
"Is there an issue of "Red Sleeves in Red Mansions"? I want to read "Red Sleeves"."
"It's the story that modern people travel to ancient times."
The boss was dazzled by a group of students, nodded quickly, and asked his boy to go to the back to move the books. He smiled so hard that he couldn't see his eyes, "They are all there, they are all there, don't worry."
As a result, all the students in this group were bought. When the next group of students arrived, there were two poor children who were unlucky enough not to buy anything.
The boss quickly swore that he would bring in another batch in a few days, ensuring that everyone could see it.
Mu Qingyun raised his eyebrows, suddenly feeling a little secretly happy.
