those things in the editorial department

The days of happiness and leisure are always so short, visiting relatives, meeting relatives and friends, the spring break is almost over, and it is time to return to work.

As soon as Wu Chunjun came home, he became nerdy (although he was nerdy when he didn't come home), lying in bed or on the sofa all day long, feeling like he was going to be turned into a mud figurine.Finally, after playing dozens of rounds of the game, I looked forward to the day when work would start, and I went back to the big city one day earlier, cleaned up the dormitory, and took care of myself.

Although work starts on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, it is not easy for many people to go home. They feel that the spring break is too short, so they will ask for a few more days to delay until after the Lantern Festival.

Those who come back on time can get a red envelope for opening the door, which is also two or three hundred, which means.What's more interesting is that a group of unmarried people will unite to chase married people and ask for red envelopes. Married people will also prepare a large stack of red envelopes early, usually with 10 or 20 yuan, all they want is noisy and lively , so that the year can be prosperous.

The whole group went to eat the New Year's dinner again, and there was nothing to do on this day.

There won't be any urgent tasks at the beginning of the year, and everyone is working slowly while calming down.Soon the first week passed, and the Lantern Festival came.

Lu Minghong also went back to the dormitory on the eighth day of the eighth day of the lunar new year. Now that everyone has not returned, the dormitory feels quite empty.

The peach blossoms that Lu Minghong bought before lasted until the Lantern Festival, and they were completely thanked.Lu Minghong was handling the peach blossom branches, and Wu Chunjun was heating up the food.There are still many shops outside that are not open, so they cook something by themselves.

Lu Minghong walked around casually with a peach blossom branch in his hand, leaned against the kitchen door frame, and said, "Tomorrow, during the Lantern Festival, there will be lanterns in Yuexiu Park, do you want to watch them together?"

"OK." Wu Chunjun continued to work without looking back.

"Then go out after four o'clock tomorrow afternoon, find a place to have dinner first, and then start to go in at dusk, it's the best when the lights are on."

"I can do whatever you want."

"Hey," Lu Minghong smiled, "Why is your answer so Buddhist?"

Wu Chunjun also laughed after hearing this, "Amitabha, everything is resigned to fate, it's good to be good."

In the afternoon of the second day, they really went out as planned. They arrived near Yuexiu Park and found a restaurant to eat at random.There is also a Spring Festival set menu on the menu, and the atmosphere of the New Year continues to the Lantern Festival.

At this time, the sky was still dark early, and it was only time to eat a meal, and the sky was already dark several degrees after going out, and the facial features could not be seen clearly at a distance.

Entering the gate of the park, the lanterns are already on.The two walked around happily.

Among the trees and on the lawn, there are lanterns in the shape of various animals; wooden frames are set up on some greenways, and colorful lanterns are hung along the way; some books are also covered with small light bulbs of various colors, shining brightly.

There are so many tourists in the park, it is really crowded.Naturally, various small vendors are also indispensable, especially those selling drinks and snacks.

The sky soon became dark, and if it wasn't for the light of the lanterns, it would be impossible to see people clearly even standing by.It was inconvenient to take pictures, so the two simply didn't take pictures.After shopping around for a while, it seems that I have deviated from the point a bit, and it becomes a hot dog in my left hand and a grilled chicken wing in my right hand.

Most of the lanterns are medium-sized, but there are several large lanterns in the park, and there are a lot of lights around them, which are relatively bright, and many people are taking pictures.Lu Minghong also took the phone to find a good angle to take a picture, and beckoned Wu Chunjun to hurry over and take a picture.When Wu Chunjun saw it, he quickly disposed of the snacks in his hands, wiped his mouth, and walked over to stand beside him.Lu Minghong held the mobile phone in one hand, and wrapped his arms around his shoulders with the other. Their heads were pressed against each other, looking up at a 45-degree angle, and a smiling face appeared on the screen of the mobile phone.

After the Lantern Festival, everyone returned to work, and the work for the new year was really on track.

The editor-in-chief's office had to collect topics for declaration again, and some key points were posted to the group, and the editors inevitably started discussing them.

"The control over the selection of topics is getting stricter, and we still haven't introduced books to the newspaper."

"Gods and ghosts, religion, fantasy, palace fighting, psychological hypnosis, homosexuality, pornography, vulgarity... Homosexuality is also banned."

"Danmei has become too hot in recent years."

"Damn beauty has been banned a long time ago, and the relevant plots should be deleted and changed. The good love has been changed into brotherhood, and the SARFT really 'obstructs love'."

"There are many minefields. Anyway, as long as it involves religion and politics, I will avoid them as much as I can."

"The four great classics and 5000 years of China can no longer be declared. There are too many editions."

"It's best to distinguish it from the books you have already applied for. For example, there are already many books on English teaching research in colleges and universities, so don't apply again."

"There are too many followers in the market, just search for 'don't yell, don't call, teach children', 'return is still a teenager', and there will be a lot of them."

"Don't choose a lot of topics by the same author, especially children's books. This author also has a lot of books in other publications. If you search on Dangdang.com, all of them are listed in a row. It's too fake. It's just a name. of."

"The authors should also be carefully screened, and if they have bad political opinions, they will not be reported."

"It is also necessary to increase the proportion of this edition of the book, and increase the original content of children's themes."

"It is a good thing that the topic selection is now strictly controlled. It is time to rectify it. The market is flooded with a bunch of cheap and low-quality books. The topic selection is flooding, and editors are struggling to cope with work tasks. It is not a good thing in the long run. The quantity is limited and the price is increased. The selected topics have been more strictly screened, and editors can focus more on valuable books."

"However, the approval time for topic selection is too long. It is obviously procrastinating. It is normal for a book that has been finished to be published for three months. Now the topic selection approval time is long, and the CIP application time is long. Three months is not necessarily the case. can come out."

"The topic selection and planning stage is the beginning of everything, and it cannot be overemphasized. Whether the book is good or not, this stage determines most of it."

"There are rules in the industry, and restrictions on publishing are inevitable and necessary, but sometimes it feels like overkill."

"After all, only one standard can be given, but there is no way to list all the situations. From the perspective of social management costs, labels are inevitable, even if there are deviations from time to time."

"I don't read much, so don't say something that I don't understand, although I can hear every word clearly."

"If you are ugly, you should read more books."

"Hold back after get off work!"

"We can still be friends without pretending."

……

After the Lantern Festival, Valentine's Day ushered in a few days.

According to the usual practice, the unmarried girls in the editorial department pooled a sum of money and bought chocolates for all male colleagues.Due to the serious imbalance between men and women in the editorial department, the girls expressed no pressure.

As for the male compatriots, those who are unscrupulous will not pay back for nothing, such as Liu Chengying, who calls it "neither to live up to the wishes of the beauties nor to compete with young men for the limelight"; those who are thoughtful will return some small gifts, such as Lu Minghong and Wu Chunjun I picked out several facial masks, and for example, Du Junshan gave Chen Jiayao a photo album, which contained the photos he took for her when they traveled to Yunnan together.Afterwards, Jun and Yao were teased by others for a while, but the two of them reacted calmly and remained unmoved.

After the episode of Valentine's Day, the publishing house ushered in a piece of good news.According to Dangdang.com's statistics, the best-selling books of the previous year were listed, and the books of Suicheng Society in the top ten are listed impressively.

For the editor, the book is a bestseller and is about to be reprinted, which is excellent news, whether it is spiritual or material.

The manager of the publishing department told the news in the company's large group, and congratulated Long Yaya, the editor-in-chief. The group instantly followed a row of congratulations and firecrackers. It really is a happy new year.

There is a sample book in the department. Lu Minghong found out that book and looked it over carefully. However, since he has only been in the industry for a short time and has never made children's books, he can't see any way to do it. He just feels that children's books seem to be inferior Not to leave, this one looks just as comfortable.

Lu Minghong couldn't see anything, so he went to ask Long Yaya for advice. She smiled and said, "For a book to sell well, there must be many factors. The author's reputation, marketing methods, the design of the book itself, and the choice of the theme of the book Wait, speaking of this book’s bestseller, it’s thanks to the author. The author himself is a bit famous, and we made some promotional plans, and the author cooperated very well, and Dangdang also posted a short video on the website.”

Lu Minghong saw that it was indeed so.Although he has always been calm, he was inspired at this time, and he couldn't help but imagine what it would be like if the book he was in charge of became a bestseller, and he also thought that he was still a rookie, and he didn't know when he would have that opportunity.In any industry that is not Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, more efforts are needed to stand out, not to mention that publishing a version requires a lot of accumulation and thin release.

However, the future is always very bright, although it is long but not confused.And he received a text message from the Personnel Bureau asking him to bring the review materials to get the primary qualification certificate, and he felt even more in a good mood.

The primary grades were announced early, and it was only at this time that the certificate was issued.He knew the way and got the certificate back, and he didn't even need to delay for half an afternoon, but after work, he insisted on dragging Wu Chunjun to rub it.

Wu Chunjun asked him: "Why don't you call other people in the editorial department?"

"It's just a primary qualification certificate, so I'm sorry for making such a big show."

Wu Chunjun thought about it too, "Then it's okay to buy a few beers and go back to the dormitory to have a little celebration."

"I just want to celebrate with you." Lu Minghong glared at him.

"why?"

"Anyway, you were the one who led me in. This meal can be regarded as a thank-you banquet."

Wu Chunjun was amused by him, "For the thank-you banquet, you should invite Brother Liu and the others. Now they are the ones teaching you, and I have nothing to teach you."

Lu Minghong grinned, "You are all my teachers. When I get the intermediate certificate next year, I will invite everyone in the editorial department to have a good meal."

Having said that, Wu Chunjun naturally had no choice but to let him go.

Lu Minghong showed him the qualification certificate again as if showing off, and even took a photo and sent it to Moments.

It is obviously a sure thing, but he can be so happy. Wu Chunjun thinks that Lu Minghong will be so childish occasionally, showing his innocent heart, which is really cute.Seeing him smiling at himself, the three words "little milk dog" popped up in his mind inexplicably, he smiled and shook his head, really being poisoned by Lu Lushen.

Speaking of which, in the ten months since Lu Minghong joined the job, Wu Chunjun can clearly feel that he is making rapid progress, and he is worried that if this continues, he will fall behind at some point, and he feels a little uneasy and anxious.But he has been getting along very well with him, and now looking at his smile, I don't understand where my anxiety comes from.

Probably mediocrity.

Suddenly I remembered Lu Minghong’s circle of friends posted on New Year’s Eve: The world is new, and so am I.

The corner of Wu Chunjun's mouth curled up and he smiled.People around you are so positive, so you should also be positive.

As long as we work hard, the future will always be better.

Ok.

Hope is always good.

cough.

The reality is skinny.

At this time, Wu Chunjun definitely didn't know that he would be annoyed to death by a client next.

The author has something to say:

When I started work at the beginning of this year, when I followed my unmarried colleagues to ask for red envelopes from married colleagues, I was really frightened by their enthusiasm.
