those things in the editorial department

After moving out of school, Lu Minghong temporarily lived at home. Although he considered moving out, and heard that the company provided staff dormitories, it was said that it was only a three-bedroom, two-living room apartment, and four people had already lived there.

The time has entered July, the third month since Lu Minghong joined the Suicheng Club.At the beginning of next month, he will become a full-time employee.

The days at work are very regular. After graduation, Lu is still studying hard and making progress every day.But he also felt that this month, the office was a bit low pressure.

The barometric center comes from the editorial room behind him.In order to deliver the goods to the school before the start of school in September, and deduct the time for printing and logistics, they have to sign and print all the manuscripts at the end of July and early August. This month is the time for overtime and overtime work.

Another small center of pressure coming from his right...

Liu Chengying suddenly looked up to the sky and screamed, "What kind of bad manuscript, can this kind of thing be published? Is this person commemorating his alma mater or hacking his alma mater?"

Although the third editorial office mainly works on this version of the book, sometimes it will take on projects, such as Liu Chengying is currently holding this book.

"What's wrong?" Cheng Xifeng squinted at him.

"Look at it, look at it," Liu Chengying grabbed a few pieces of paper, and poked a finger on it, almost poking holes in the "crime", "What is written here, groups of people stealing Watching women take a bath, how dare you write it?! There are also fights and nights out, it’s very honorable, isn’t it?! It has no market value!” After speaking, he slapped the table, crossed his chest angrily, and stared at the manuscript.

"Calm down, rich man. If you publish at your own expense, it doesn't matter whether you have market value. You just follow the publishing norms, delete as needed, and just do business." Cheng Xifeng ignored his righteous indignation.This is a memoir of youth, mainly about a group of boys' junior high school years, it is normal for young and frivolous to do some ridiculous things, besides, what happened four or fifty years ago, there is nothing to be angry about.

Liu Chengying let out a long sigh, and half of his body was spread out on the table, quite dead. "Xiao Wu, have you guys made such a draft?"

Wu Chunjun glanced at him contemptuously, "What is this? The manuscripts of government agencies are difficult to deal with. They have a big temper, heavy tasks, tight schedules, and repeated revisions."

Lu Minghong looked up at him, looking a little old-fashioned, feeling a little funny.

Chen Jiayao came over with a cup of coffee in her hand, "Brother Liu, your service attitude is not good enough today."

"Why do old people publish books every now and then? Wouldn't it be good to save that little money for retirement?" Zheng Huamiao, the editor's second office, raised his head.

"They are not short of money, but it is us young people who are short of money." Liu Chengying was still lying on the table weakly.

"Ha," Cheng Xifeng smirked, "You young man has such a wide range."

Long Yaya responded to Zheng Huamiao's question, "When you get old, you don't have anything to pursue, so you just want to publish a book, and give yourself spiritual comfort. The editor's office has received several such manuscripts."

"Really? Is anyone picking up?" Wu Chunjun also asked with interest when he heard that someone had submitted a manuscript.

"Of course not," Liu Chengying smiled knowingly, "It's not like you don't know the acceptance rate of our agency. Those who publish at their own expense are fine, as long as they don't violate the publishing regulations. If there is no market at first glance, who will take it?"

Cheng Xifeng nodded, "Even if it's a little better, it can't pass the topic selection argument. What's funny is that someone said that they saw that we had published a similar book and felt that their writing was similar, and they kept asking why we couldn't publish it. I asked Do you want to publish it at your own expense, and he also said that we should pay him a fee for using his manuscript."

When the others heard it, they all shook their heads in amused and helpless manner.

"Sister Xifeng, under what circumstances do you need to pay the manuscript fee and under what circumstances do you not?" Lu Minghong, a good student, asked.

"Because we are not in charge of publishing, so we don't need to pay for the manuscript." Cheng Xifeng replied, feeling that the answer was not up to standard, and shouted to the second editorial room, "Yaya, you are a theoretical type, tell me."

Everyone is already used to his hundred thousand whys.After receiving the request for help, Long Yaya immediately pretended to be a teacher, "Publishing activities include a series of links such as drafting, editing, typesetting, proofreading, printing, and distribution, which will incur certain costs. As a commercial activity, it will also Generate certain income. The cost and income are unified and should be borne by the same subject. If the organizer is a publishing house, then the cost will be borne by the publishing house, and the manuscript fee is part of the cost. The publishing house should pay the author’s remuneration. The sales revenue after publication belongs to the publishing house. If the organizer is the author, the cost will be borne by the author himself. Not only do we not need to pay the author’s remuneration, but he also pays us the publishing and editing fees, etc. This is self-publishing. Correspondingly, book publishing The subsequent income belongs to the author. There is also a third type. The organizer is the book company, and the author and the publishing house are one of the links. It can be said that each contracted a part of the project, so all costs are borne by the book company, and the book company pays the author. The author's remuneration, and pay the corresponding publishing fees of the publishing house. Naturally, the final income also belongs to the book company." Long Yaya faced Lu Minghong, "Most of what you are doing belongs to this third type."

Everyone: "..."

"Ya Ya, why do I feel that your words are so complicated. They are all educated people, can you speak more simply?" Chen Jiayao said weakly.

Liu Chengying concluded: "In short, we publish and are responsible for the distribution and sales of the book, which is the original edition, and we have to pay the author's remuneration; we only publish but not responsible for the distribution and sales, that is, the cooperative book, and we do not pay the author's remuneration."

"So that's the case." Lu Minghong nodded.I tilted my head and thought for a while, "Because the manuscripts of the collaborative book are all complete, the production cycle of the collaborative book is shorter than this edition, right?"

"It should be said that the production period after the manuscript is in your hands is short," Liu Chengying corrected him, "The production period of this edition is long because it is still in the stage of drafting. So in this process, there will be occasional collaborations." Thinking of it With that cheating manuscript, Liu Chengying's face darkened again. "Damn memoir!"

"Hahaha, Brother Liu, your face looks like Duke Bao's." Chen Jiayao gloated over there.

"Xiao Chen, it's not good for you to leave your post like this. I heard that all your nine majors are calling for you." Liu Chengying smiled kindly.

"Thank you Brother Liu for your kindness~heart~reminder~wake~." Chen Jiayao gritted her teeth with a smile.

Everyone in the editorial room thought to themselves, it's good to be young, and still have the strength to speak out.

Chen Jiayao returned to her post, and the second editorial office and the third editorial office also returned to work.

As for the fourth editorial room, Wu Chunjun watched the whole process, and Lu Minghong began to write in his notebook.Wu Chunjun looked at him, thinking that he didn't have much to teach him, and the next step was to bring along the process.Fortunately, he got along well with everyone in the office, anyone could teach him something, and he even learned something.

After Wu Chunjun finished reading, he withdrew his gaze and focused on the manuscript.At this time, Lu Minghong raised his head to look at him and smiled slightly.This staggered mutual attention fell into Lu Luchen's eyes, causing ripples.

The low pressure in the office continued, and even Wu Chunjun was banging on the keyboard.

Seeing his frown, Lu Minghong seemed a little angry, "What's wrong?"

Wu Chunjun didn't speak, just stared at the computer screen and shook his head lightly.

When getting off work, Liu Chengying let out a long breath, "Go eat barbecue, I'll treat you, do you want to go?"

Cheng Xifeng replied: "If you don't eat free food, you will be sorry for your life. You must go."

Wu Chunjun also nodded, "Go."

Before Lu Minghong responded, Liu Chengying put his arms around his shoulders, "Xiao Lu, you are also a professional now, it's time to learn how to socialize, let's go, go drink."

"I'll stay with you until the end." Lu Minghong also readily agreed.

"Okay," Liu Chengying gave a thumbs up, "This is a high awareness." He raised his voice again, "What about the others?"

Lu Lushen looked at the CP where she was standing with tears in her eyes, "My sister has an appointment, so I can't go. Chunjun, you have to be careful about Xiao Lu, don't let Brother Liu lead your good friend into ruin."

Wu Chunjun rolled his eyes, Lu Minghong smiled and said nothing.He already knew that Lu Luchen was a so-called "rotten girl" who would often flirt with him and Wu Chunjun, and Chunjun's previous partner was also deeply hurt by it.

"How about you in the same room?"

Everyone in the editorial room looked at Liu Yangchun in unison. She rubbed the area between her eyes and thought for a second. "The revolution has not yet succeeded," he continued after a pause, "and the body is the capital of the revolution." The other three breathed a sigh of relief.

In the end, apart from Zheng Huamiao who wanted to cook at home, Lu Lushen who had an appointment, and Meihua who seldom participated in activities, the other nine went to the barbecue restaurant together.In the middle, I also joined a Xiao Zhang from the finance department to make up ten.

Take a table full, and a dozen beers.

"Even if it's my treat, you don't have to be so cruel." Liu Chengying was so shocked that her face turned pale, and she shook her head helplessly.

Du Junshan picked up a bunch of flesh and blood and connected them together, "Brother Liu, pluck the hair of the iron cock, wait for a thousand years."

"Open your eyes and tell me nonsense, didn't I treat you once last year?" Liu Chengying picked up a chicken wing and dipped it in some hot sauce.

"Oh my God, that's so long ago that it happened in a previous life." Chen Jiayao said vaguely while chewing on the chicken tenders.

"I've been entangled for two lifetimes, which shows how deeply you love me."

Lin Linglong glanced coldly, "It's eating, can you say something that isn't disgusting?"

"No, I still want Three Lives Three Worlds and Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms." Liu Chengying was triumphant, as if he wanted to disgust you.

"Catch this demon in the name of the people." Long Yaya gently opened her lips.

Three people in the editor's room said: "Agreed."

"Do you still remember who invited guests?" Liu Chengying winked at Cheng Xifeng for help.

Cheng Xifeng nodded, "Leave the wallet, and drag it down and beat it to death with sticks."

……

Wu Chunjun felt that no one else was as good at talking, so he watched the show with a smile as usual.

After watching for a while, Lu Minghong quietly asked him: "Is there anything going on this afternoon?"

Wu Chunjun took a sip of beer, "What else can I do, I'm going to be mad at the client."

"Is there anything unhappy?" Chen Jiayao asked, "Say it to make everyone happy."

Originally, the purpose of getting together to drink and eat after get off work was to complain and vent, but Wu Chunjun didn't hide it, and poured out everything. "It's the "Revelation of 50 Years of Reform". At the beginning, it was scheduled to be printed on the 10th and delivered to the door. The messy draft was given. I hurriedly made a sample book and sent it to the 2nd. It turned out that I had to wait for the leader. After looking at it, I took the sample book back two days later, and said that I would add a few articles and adjust the order of the catalog. This big move, I couldn’t keep up with the 10th, so I changed the delivery to the 13th. The result is the second time The sample book sent me to tell me that I need to change the format!" Wu Chunjun held a barbecue toothpick in his hand and poked it into the bowl, "I checked again and again whether the format was okay at the beginning, and I also asked if the format was required for the first time I sent the sample book. It was said that there was no problem with the change, but the leader looked at it again and had another opinion. It affects the whole body. There are also some things in the content that need to be re-unified. Well, change it as soon as possible. I said that it is too late on the 13th and must be reserved At least one week for printing and logistics, let’s change it to the 15th, the other side said yes, but within ten seconds, they said no, it still needs to be the 13th, and it’s in a hurry. No, my sister, don’t change it if it doesn’t work Ah, I said it will take at least a week to print, do you think you can just withdraw the word 'good' and pretend it never happened?"

Wu Chunjun poked at every sentence, and then took a sip of beer.Everyone was amused when they saw his furry appearance.

Xiao Zhang was out of breath laughing, "No wonder... ha... I heard the editor... scolding, so it turns out... so twists and turns. Haha."

Liu Chengying picked up her own beer and touched Wu Chunjun's beer bottle, "Xiao Wu, your experience has increased my sense of happiness, good good."

The can of beer was quickly finished, and everyone hadn't had their fill yet, so they called for another can.

"The lines are like a mountain. Outsiders always think that they can publish a complete manuscript quickly by throwing in a complete manuscript. They also specify that it will be published in a month. If you say no, he will suspect that your efficiency is too low."

Wu Chunjun and Lu Minghong were the only ones present who mainly worked on collaborative books, and Lu Minghong hadn't touched these things yet, so Wu Chunjun was the most emotional.

"One month, are you kidding me? Not to mention the topic selection and application for CIP, it's more than three reviews, three schools and typesetting. It's not like you're the only manuscript in the world."

"Is Chunjun going to turn into a mother-in-law and start the broken thoughts mode?" Chen Jiayao laughed at him.

"No. I'm done throwing up, it's your turn."

Cheng Xifeng teased Du Junshan: "Isn't Tucao Emperor going to vomit today?"

"Working overtime every week, I feel my body is hollowed out, and I can't complain." Du Junshan said lazily.

"Kidney deficiency, use Kidney Tablets." Lin Linglong said lightly.

"Hahahaha!" Everyone laughed again and again.

"Although it's painful to work overtime for a long time now, it's not as scary as trying to get on the catalog the year before last. We stayed up all night for two nights. Thinking about it, it's really scary." Chen Jiayao shook her head.Seeing Lu Minghong looking at him, he knew that he didn't understand, and explained: "It's the selection of the "Catalogue of Teaching Supplementary Materials for Primary and Secondary Schools". Many schools stipulate that they must select teaching supplementary books in the catalog, and listing in the catalog can gain a relatively high market share."

Long Yaya added: "It also means local protection. Strong enterprises from other provinces are not so easy to open up the provincial market."

"However," Liu Yangchun must have something to say, everyone listened carefully, only to hear her say, "This catalog will be abolished."

"Ah? Really? Why?" Chen Jiayao asked three times, still holding the grilled oysters.

"Because it is not conducive to the reform of 'decentralization, regulation and service'. There will be situations where teachers and teachers get kickbacks."

The editorial room is silent, there has always been this unspoken rule for teaching assistants.Product quality must pass the test, and sales channels must be smooth.Now if the catalog is really abolished, I don't know what will happen to the teaching aid market.

Liu Chengying concluded: "Everyone has their own troubles, and every family has their own hard-to-read scriptures. Overall, the Children's Department (Editor's Second Office) is happy. I want to apply for a job transfer."

"No," Long Yaya quickly refused, and threw the iron skewer for the kebabs on the table, "Our small temple can't accommodate a big Buddha like you."

"Ha, brother Liu is just joking," Liu Yangchun teased him, "You have a large number of authors who are not in the direction of children, are you willing to leave them behind?"

Liu Chengying laughed loudly, "I really understand me! I really don't want to part with the revolutionary friendship for many years. So," he said, raising his glass to the air, "Work has abused me thousands of times, and I treat work like first love. For our beloved publishing Career, cheers!"

There was a clink of glasses.

The author has something to say:

The complaints in this chapter come from the relevant real knowledge of a certain rot~
