those things in the editorial department

Lu Minghong became a full-time employee and trained the complete process. Wu Chunjun asked him to follow the entire process by himself, watching and giving some hints.

Lu Minghong received the document sent by Wu Chunjun on QQ, "This is the topic selection material sent by the customer. You can read it first. If you can make a preliminary judgment, fill out the topic selection argumentation form and submit it to Mr. Wang for review, and then follow our Fill in the format of the selected topics in the summary form and submit it to the shared file in the editor-in-chief's office."

"What kind can't be produced?" Lu Minghong asked him with his head tilted.

"Well, for example, violent, pornographic, fabricated and distorted facts, anti-Party and anti-national, or too professional and we don't have relevant personnel to review. Some are too sensitive and it is best to avoid them. The approval may not pass, even if Generally, approval will also be required to be submitted for review, so the publication time will be greatly extended.”

Lu Minghong nodded and began to stare at the document.When he finished, Wu Chunjun looked at it and thought there was nothing wrong with it, so he handed him a new manuscript. "You are the editor in charge of this book. After reading it, write the review comments, and write according to the example. Pay attention to the requirements of the review, and you don't have to word for word like proofreading."

Early the next morning, Lu Minghong sent Wu Chunjun the preliminary review opinion.Wu Chunjun saw that he had written in detail, including author profile, content profile, chapter overview, publication value, and revision comments. He gave him a thumbs-up and instructed him to submit review comments and final review comments to Director Wang and the president.

"Chun Jun, the third review has passed, and it is confirmed that it can be published."

Wu Chunjun glanced at the third review card, saw that it was all signed, and nodded, "OK, you can submit the application for the book number and CIP to the editor-in-chief's office."

Lu Minghong still stood still, hesitating for a moment, "...a contract?"

Wu Chunjun came to his senses, "Oh yes, there is also a contract. This is our regular partner, who signed a framework agreement at the beginning, and when the manuscript is sent, it will be accompanied by a book publishing contract, in duplicate, which is basically the same template with a different title. It’s just with the author.” While talking, he found the contract from the drawer and handed it to him, “It’s already stamped over there, you fill out the approval form, and then submit it to the administrator for signature and stamp, and after completing a copy of the contract Go to the editor-in-chief's office to file, and send a copy to the client together with the proofreaded manuscript."

Lu Minghong blinked, and began to involve other departments, the process was more than imagined.

Wu Chunjun gave him a look of "I understand" and comforted him: "The cooperation book is okay, we are not responsible for the typesetting and cover design, and only Hehong and signature are left when the manuscript is sent back, which saves the time of communicating with the US editor. .”

So Lu Minghong went further and further on the road of studying hard.

Half a month later, it was another normal working day, and the editorial department was as usual.

Lu Minghong has already gone through all the procedures of the cooperation letter. In fact, the procedure is just cumbersome, but it is not difficult.The main job of copy editors is still to process the manuscript.

Wu Chunjun shook the piece of paper in his hand, and began to read: "'This jumpiness is mainly determined by the intrinsic nature of subjectivity in Internet ideological and political education.' What the hell is this? Just forget about typos, It's a mix of sentences."

Lu Minghong chuckled, "In my book, one person's name was misspelled N times, I almost thought it was a different person."

Wu Chunjun moved the piece of paper to him, "Please read this sentence for me, I can't understand it."

Lu Minghong leaned over to look at the sentence that Wu Chunjun pointed to: The principle of interaction in online ideological and political education is determined by the nature of interaction between Internet users and Internet technology.

"Uh... It's also mixed. I think it's 'the interactive principle of online ideological and political education is determined by the nature of technical interaction of netizens living on the Internet'."

"Really?" Wu Chunjun took it back and continued to read it, frowning and thinking, and only after a while did he draw the revision mark on the manuscript.

There was a little smile on the corner of Lu Minghong's mouth, and he was about to bow his head and continue working on his manuscript, when Liu Chengying came to throw a bar (from Lu Luchen's perspective).

"Xiao Lu, you have a master's degree in history, right?"

"Yes."

"Hmm. I have a question." Liu Chengying glanced at the manuscript again, "When did the concept of 'country' come into being?"

This is not a big or small proposition.

Lu Minghong pondered for a while, organizing words in his mind.

"The word 'country' has existed in ancient literature, but it is not the concept it is today. 'Guo' is the capital or fiefdom of princes, and 'jia' is the fiefdom of scholar-bureaucrats, both of which are places with limited sovereignty under the Son of Heaven. , Jialian used to refer to a political hierarchy. Similar to modern concepts are 'dynasty' and 'tianxia', but 'country' is not a simple replacement for the original 'dynasty' or 'tianxia'.

"The 'country' in the modern sense actually includes the country in the regional sense, the national community, the violent ruling body, and the administrative executive body. Related, is the general phenomenon of the modernization process in the world.

"The concept first emerged in Europe. With the advancement of science and technology, the social connection is closer, the nation is formed naturally, and the post-political state is also artificially constructed as an organizational tool. Chinese civilization has always had a relatively clear self-identity, forming a 'big The political and cultural tradition of "unification" even gave birth to the concept of "discrimination between Hua and Barbarians", while the concept of "country" in China appeared in the modern revolution. It was a history of repeated invasions by multiple imperialist forces and the complete collapse of the original political order. It was gradually formed under the environment. Therefore, in a series of "Salvation and Preservation" campaigns, the national community as the object and the political system, organization, and institution as the means were born at the same time.

"That is to say, the concept of the country in the narrow sense and the concept of the country in the broad sense are two theories based on the different historical experiences of Europe and China. It can be said that scholars follow the concept in the narrow sense when expressing in writing, while people use it in a broad sense in their daily use Concepts, which have a particularly strong shared character, are moralized.

"The concept of 'country' as we understand it today was gradually formed during the modern revolution period, and was further recognized and promoted in the process of modern nation-building. It is highly political, social, and moral, and has become a belief. The public opinion propaganda of 'national sacredness', 'national sovereignty is supreme' and 'national interests above all else' has been unanimously recognized, and 'patriotism' is the highest reason."

After listening to this speech, Wu Chunjun blinked, not knowing what was going on.

The corner of Lu Minghong's mouth raised, "If we want to say when the concept of 'country' was formed, I can only say 'modern times'."

Liu Chengying applauded silently, "Young people are awesome."

Lu Minghong clasped his hands together, "It's just that there is a specialization in surgery."

Well, there is a sequence of hearing, and there is a specialization in the arts.Wu Chunjun remembered Lu Minghong's row of professional books, and he could borrow them to read when he had time.There is no distinction between literature and history, so after such a discussion, it is not unreasonable to say that learning and learning from time to time, reviewing the past and learning the new.

Just before getting off work, a thin middle-aged man entered the editorial office pushing a small trailer. "Come to get the sample book."

It's Brother Li from the warehouse, and he will come to deliver sample books every two months.Everyone came to claim their children.

After the new book is printed, the leaders each share a set, the editorial department takes one set and puts it on the bookshelf, and the responsible editor himself takes one set back.

It was the first time that Lu Minghong got a book that he had reviewed, which was a bit novel.The manuscript I read three months ago is only now being completed.

Lu Minghong still had a little impression of it. When he turned to the end, he remembered that there should be two white pages at the end. He suspected that he had made a mistake, so he recalculated the printed sheet. Yes, there should be two white pages to make up the printed sheet, so Ask Wu Chunjun.

"Printed sheets are counted at least 0.25, so when counting, there are two P white pages, but when printing, this white page can be manually extracted after the paper is cut, so the number of printed sheets of the copyright page is not wrong. It's just like this It is an extra step of manual work, which is time-consuming. If the printing factory is busy or the manpower is insufficient, this white page will be kept. Therefore, it would be best if we can adjust to just an integer number of printed sheets or 0.5 when we are reviewing. Otherwise, if there is If the 4P white pages are added with a lining page, it will be ugly."

As Wu Chunjun spoke, he showed him the lining of a book, and Lu Minghong suddenly realized.

Each room moved its own books to the bookshelves.Wu Chunjun also classified them according to types and themes.

Then it's off-duty time.I didn't read many pages of manuscripts this day. This efficiency depends on performance, alas.

The staff dormitory is not far from the company, and they all walk to and from get off work.Lu and Wu walked together as usual, but they ran into three or four of Lu Minghong's high school classmates on the road. They happened to be going to a dinner party, so they forced the two to go together.

A few people found a music restaurant and ordered some snacks and a lot of drinks of various colors.

Old classmates who haven't seen each other for a long time, naturally want to chat about the recent situation when they meet, and they are all out to work, so it is inevitable to communicate about people's livelihood issues, whether it is love or bread.

"The company has a secret salary system." His colleague is still sitting next to him.

The old classmate booed and toasted again, encouraging him to say.

"You are a graduate student, you can have eight thousand if you don't have ten thousand?"

Lu Minghong smiled and remained silent.

"No? Isn't the publishing house very prestigious? How come you don't even have this salary after you become a regular? It's better than a courier."

Wu Chunjun squeezed the wine glass tightly, complaining in his heart: How did you talk?

"That's right, it's too bad for you as a master's student to do such a job and get such a salary. My monthly rent is higher than yours."

Wu Chunjun took a sip of wine: yes yes yes, you are the landlord and you are the richest, bear with it.

"How do you live in Guangzhou like this? Why don't you just change jobs and start a business with me, and I'll give you [-]."

Blatant poaching?Wu Chunjun stared at the man who spoke.Lu Minghong smiled lightly and shook his head.

The man noticed Wu Chunjun's gaze, and he didn't flinch, but hit the snake with the stick, "You... oh, I'm sorry I forgot your name, why don't you come with me, the income is guaranteed to be higher than now, and there is no need to squeeze in a group of people in the house."

"Thank you, no need." Wu Chunjun replied coldly.

The man shrugged and didn't take it seriously.

"I thought that making books was a very advanced thing, but I didn't expect the economy to be so distressed. That's right, there are still a few people who buy books, and it's enough to swipe their mobile phones. The publishing industry seems to be declining. I see you It’s better to find a new job now. If you’re still a pauper after working out for a few years, you’ll be ashamed to attend the party of the whole class.”

With a "bang", the wine glass in Wu Chunjun's hand was placed heavily on the table, and he had already stood up, attracting other people's attention to him.

Sitting next to him, Lu Minghong felt an aura rising from him.

"Books are the ladder of human progress. What we are engaged in is a cause that is beneficial to mankind. Do I need to feel ashamed because my income is not high? As for whether the publishing industry is declining, how can you, a layman, judge?!"

The few people were probably stunned by his momentum, dumbfounded.

"Sorry to disturb your class reunion, goodbye!" After saying that, he picked up his bag and turned to leave.

Lu Minghong was also a little surprised, seeing him take a few steps before he realized it, he quickly explained a few words to his old classmate, and chased him away.

I feel inexplicably happy in my heart.

Because Wu Chunjun got high-spirited for a while and spoke out loudly, he felt embarrassed afterwards, and also felt embarrassed for not showing him face in front of Lu Minghong's old classmates, so he didn't want to face him very much, and went to bed early.

Lu Minghong stared at his back for a long time, then opened Dangdang online, and started searching for books.

A few days later, the batch of books that Lu Minghong bought arrived.

"Laomaoxue Publishing", "Editor's World", "Editing Power", "Four Compulsory Courses for Excellent Editors", "ABC of Editing Work", "Editing This Disease", "The Birth of a Book", "Random House and Me" "Today's Format", "Ye Yu Shuyi".

Wu Chunjun was dumbfounded.The bookshelf that was vacated because Lu Mingyan moved a batch of books was filled almost instantly.

However, I suddenly felt relieved.

It seems that Lu Minghong was not influenced by his classmates' remarks, and still wanted to publish in a down-to-earth manner.

The author has something to say:

small theater

"Lu Minghong, what is the name of Russia? Under what circumstances should it be called Tsarist Russia, and under what circumstances should it be called Soviet Russia?"

"Chun Jun, my master's degree is historical philology."

"and then?"

"Historical philology can't tell me that."

"Oh? You don't know?"

"No, I just happen to know." Lu Minghong raised the corner of his mouth slightly. "Before the February Revolution in 1917, it was called Tsarist Russia. After that, it was called Soviet Russia in 1922. After the Soviet Union was established in 1922, it was called the Soviet Union. After the Soviet Union collapsed, it was called Russia."

……

"Although you have solved my doubts, I still want to hit you very much."
