those things in the editorial department

Although I didn't drink red or white last night because I had to go to work today, I still drank a little too much. The beer behind was basically drunk by a few men.As a result, I went to work today.

Except for Lu Minghong, Wu Chunjun had already entered the state of serious work when Wu Chunjun came, so it can be seen that he has been here for at least a while.

Lu Minghong also drank a lot last night, but he said that he would send him back to the dormitory when he was parting, but he said no, and hit Xiao Zhang who lived in the dormitory with him.Fortunately, that guy Luchen wasn't there last night, otherwise he would have made a fuss again.

However, I don't know if it's because Lu Shen always made jokes about them, or because there were only the two of them in the fourth editorial room, or because he took care of him when he first came here, Wu Chunjun felt that Lu Minghong was really close to him, but he had to explain clearly It's a little bit better for people to notice the abnormality than for other colleagues.

There is nothing to think about, no matter what you don’t want to.

Wu Chunjun looked around, and everyone was ready to work.The workplace is like this, no matter what you complained about yesterday, you should still do what you should do today.Although Brother Liu frowned, he was responsible for the manuscript.There are four people in one room, so I have to work overtime again today.

Wu Chunjun also picked up his mood, logged into QQ, and played Tai Chi with clients.

I remember reading a joke before, saying: What do editors do?An editor is a reminder.Why did he become the one who was urged to select questions, to be urged to book numbers, and to be urged to review manuscripts when he came to him?There are always unfinished manuscripts.

Open the excel sheet to check the progress management of each customer.Fortunately, Lu Minghong relieved him a lot of pressure after he came in.He is a fast learner, free from errands, and quick to read.It's time to gradually let him get in touch with the process. After doing it all, you can also hand over some customers to him for management.

In a few days, I will apply for a new batch of topic selections. I will first talk to each client and collect the topic selections.

He has a few regular clients, all of whom are book companies, and there will be topic selections every month.Because the state stipulates that only state-owned publishing units have exclusive publishing rights, private publishing companies can only publish and distribute through cooperation with publishing houses, which is also one of the sources of revenue for many publishing houses.Of course, buying and selling book numbers is not allowed, even if it is a cooperative book, it must follow the publishing process, and the publishing house needs to be responsible for the quality of the book.As for allowing some outstanding private book companies to also have publishing qualifications, it is only a proposal at present.

The first client is Beijing Guojuan, which specializes in traditional literature, workplace inspiration, and chicken soup.In fact, Beijing has gathered the largest number of publishing institutions. Why does Guojuan cooperate with Suicheng Press, which is thousands of miles away?Probably the connections of the president or Director Wang.

The second client is Hunan Phantom, which develops in a variety of film and television comics and mainly publishes online romance novels, including Danmeixiang.He will also assign the manuscripts that Luchen is interested in to her.

The third is Hangzhou Dongfan, with half of the novels and half of the comics.The comics published are all serialized on the APP, and they are all color comics. He has not handled black and white comics yet.As the generation who grew up watching anime entered the society, Guoman also has a rising trend.Still, the market for comic books remains sluggish.Children's picture books are not counted, but the market is active. Parents are now willing to spend money on their children's education, and they have to start from an early age.

The fourth is Guangzhou Yingwen, which specializes in helping school teachers publish books.This category is basically self-published, similar to memoirs published by old people, with a very small print volume, and basically does not go to the market, mainly for the purpose of evaluating professional titles in schools.

Others are scattered customers, and sometimes they just play a campaign, which is not fixed.For example, the brochures of relevant government departments, such as the "Apocalypse of 50 Years of Reform" that made him feel blue veins on his forehead.

Wu Chunjun rolled his eyes helplessly, and continued typing, "A new batch of topics will be reported next week, please fill out the topic selection form..."

Before the announcement was over, a message popped up in the community - the publishing professional qualification examination can be registered!Links to relevant notices are below.

Lu Minghong also saw the message, and before he had time to react, he saw the person on the opposite side straighten up, showing a cheerful face, "Hey Lu Minghong, you can apply for junior level."

Lu Minghong responded with a smile, "Yes."

Du Junshan shouted from the air: "I'm going to apply for the intermediate level this year, who else will join me? Are you going to take the exam?"

Lu Lushen nodded, "Test." Although she has only been in the Suicheng Club for three years, she has worked in other places before, and the working years are enough.

Zheng Huamiao also stated: "I want to take the exam too, but I didn't pass the exam last year. I'm a little short on practice."

"Meihua, are you old enough?" Cheng Xifeng asked.

Mei Hua raised her head and nodded, "Yes." She lowered her head and continued to read the manuscript.

The remaining few who have already obtained the intermediate certificate feel like people who have gone to university to watch other people's children take the college entrance examination, very calm.

While speaking, Lu Minghong had already browsed through the notice.Whether it is the elementary or intermediate level, there are two subjects: basic and practical.He stood up and looked on the bookcase. In the section of public books in the editorial department, there were several sets of "Publishing Professional Basics (Elementary)", "Publishing Professional Practice (Elementary)", "Publishing Professional Basics (Intermediate)", "Publishing Professional Practice (Intermediate)" )", next to which are the "Book Editing and Proofreading Practical Manual", "Modern Proofreading User Manual", "Common Standards and Specifications for Authors and Editors", "Xinhua Dictionary", "Modern Chinese Dictionary", "Cihai", "Common Language Error Prevention Manual" " and other reference books and books on publishing laws and regulations.

Lu Minghong took out the two intermediate books and flipped through them. He was still exposed to too few things, so he couldn't understand them, so he flipped through them and put them back.He had read these two books since Wu Chunjun told him that there was an exam, and it was really not difficult.The basic book talks about some introductions to publishing, as well as Chinese knowledge, which he has learned in his undergraduate studies, and he is not afraid of them.The practical book is related to daily work, including the specific responsibilities of editors, as well as proofreading, typesetting, printing, binding, and distribution.

Wu Chunjun watched him return to his work station with the book, and sent him a file folder, which contained the real questions of the primary exams in the past five years.Lu Minghong browsed through it, and felt that the questions were quite similar, even if he cramped a week before the exam, he was sure to pass the exam once.

"Chunjun, what score did you get in the exam?"

"Back then..." Wu Chunjun recalled, but it was actually only two years ago, "Hey, I'm so sorry, I floated by at a low altitude, and I got a score of 120 in both subjects." The full score is 200, and 120 is a pass.

...but he told him it was not difficult.

After distributing the materials, Wu Chunjun also continued his previous work. After the customers were notified, soon a partner sent a topic selection summary form. They are all used to cooperation, and they are familiar with each other's processes. They should be prepared early. It's down.

Wu Chunjun stared at the watch for a while, then decided to call Lu Minghong over.

"Look, this is the topic selection form that the customer filled out according to the format we gave. The format of each publishing house's topic selection form is similar, and relevant content such as the title of the book, the introduction of the content, and the introduction of the author are necessary."

Wu Chunjun pointed at the computer, showed him the content of the topic selection form, and introduced the customer situation of the department.

"Next, I will slowly teach you about the process. After you have actually operated it and dealt with various departments, it will be easier to understand what is written in the book."

Lu Minghong was leaning over to look at the computer beside him, but when he heard about it, he suddenly turned his head and smiled brightly.

Someone in the front left was blinded by a flash, but Wu Chunjun was still staring at the computer, unaware of it. "When you can get started, it's time to hand over some clients to manage for you."

Lu Minghong restrained his expression, and replied "OK" in a slightly excited tone.

Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and young people have a good attitude.Wu Chunjun thought to himself.As for the fact that he was one year younger than the so-called "young man", he forcibly ignored it.

Lu Minghong straightened up, but did not move. He hesitated for a moment and asked, "Is our office the only one that has cooperative customers?"

Wu Chunjun glanced at the others, and they were all in working condition. "No. The third room occasionally has sporadic work, and the clients are not fixed." He tilted his chin toward the front left, "The second room children's book is not only made by itself, but also has a regular client, which is a company specializing in children's books." He tilted his head to the front right again, "One room is also a set of our company's own books, and a set of books from outside companies."

When Wu Chunjun said something, Lu Minghong followed suit and nodded.

Wu Chunjun stopped facing the computer, pushed the seat out a little, turned a little to face Lu Minghong, and looked up at him. "You have been taking notes all the time, which is good. There are still many things to learn and memorize later, and you must keep records."

Lu Minghong still nodded, acting like a good student who was called to the office alone by the head teacher after class.

Wu Chunjun was very satisfied with his attitude, and he was a little smug. Anyone who meets such a good student will be a good teacher. "In addition to recording precautions and specification points, we also need to record daily work, such as whether we drew up a contract or opened it today, which manuscript was sent, which client we communicated with, and the results. Make work records every day , so that everything can be traced.”

Lu Minghong gave a military salute in awe, "Understood."

Wu Chunjun was amused by his sudden action, and sent him back with a vague curse.

After finishing the topic selection form, pack up your mood, and continue to face the cheating "Revelation of 50 Years of Reform".With the mind of grinding, I played Tai Chi with the other party, complained, and said that I really couldn't make it out, and hoped to postpone it to the 15th as promised.

Originally, Wu Chunjun was already mentally prepared to tear it up, "Even if he hangs himself, he can't keep up, unless it is printed according to the previous sample book and will not be changed." He was ready to type it out, but he replied "Yes".

Wu Chunjun stared at the word "good" for ten seconds, no, yes, withdraw, return!

Suddenly I couldn't laugh or cry, your uncle, it would have been like this earlier, isn't it fun to go back and forth?How capricious!

After resolving the time conflict, Wu Chunjun continued to adjust the article according to the requirements of the "uncle", striving to get rid of the torture as soon as possible.Then, after this busy period is over, you can continue to work for the next period... It's really inspirational to think about it.

Although this client makes occasional shots and has many demands, the publishing and editing fees will be a little higher, and sometimes they are even funded by the Propaganda Department.Books have dual attributes, namely commodity attributes and cultural attributes.This type of books is not popular in the market, and their commodity attributes are weak, but they have political value and cultural value, and still have the significance of publishing, but they only account for a very small proportion of the total publishing ratio.

The directory structure of the book "Apocalypse of 50 Years of Reform" was previously arranged in chronological order, and the newly revised version is reclassified according to the theme of the industry involved, each with its own advantages.The articles were received from various units, and although the content was rather monotonous and boring, the demeanor was by no means comparable to those of online romances and time-travel novels.What's more, it is not allowed to cross now.

Wu Chunjun created a new document and rearranged the table of contents. After proofreading the newly added articles twice, they were also added. After checking the details again, they were sent to typesetting after confirmation.After the arrangement is complete, check the red again, and issue a sample booklet to sign and print again, and you will be liberated.As long as the big boss doesn't suddenly have a sudden convulsion and has to make a big change, what else can he expect from the old man?

Among several partners, Hangzhou Dongfan is his favorite.As a post-90s generation who grew up watching anime, I am still excited that one day I will be able to publish a few manga from my own hands.Of course, it would be even more exciting if a few sets of classics could be produced.Dongfan mainly publishes original and new series, which echoes the serialization of its own APP. Wu Chunjun is also one of the readers of the APP.

He was already thinking about which client to hand over to Lu Minghong. In his heart, he wanted to keep this and kick Yingwen out. However, the specific allocation still depends on the arrangement of the department leaders.

Wu Chunjun is working diligently while looking forward to a bright future, diligently cultivating successors.
