those things in the editorial department

The busy time passed quickly, and it took a few months before the start of work after the year, and the mid-year topic selection meeting arrived in the blink of an eye.

Wu Chunjun's complaint about that wonderful client attracted a lot of sympathy. After this episode, the topic selection will officially begin.

It is still that each editorial room makes a report in turn, and then discusses it to determine some things, and the leader raises some points for attention.Wu Chunjun, as usual, participated in the discussion with a happy learning attitude. I feel that I have learned a little bit. Even if the progress is only small, it makes people feel happy. I have accumulated a lot and made a lot of money. Stick to it, and look back one day in the future You will find that you have grown so much.

The arguments for the topic selection of the first three rooms have all been completed. Wu Chunjun thought that the topic selection meeting was coming to an end, and was looking down to sort out his notes when he suddenly heard Mr. Wang say, "It's the fourth room's turn."

He raised his head in doubt, the fourth editorial office of theirs had never chosen their own topics, why did they call them all of a sudden?

Before he could speak, Lu Minghong who was sitting next to him stood up.

Wu Chunjun couldn't describe his mood at that moment—surprised, bewildered, and seemed to have some other emotions.

Lu Minghong has a topic to choose?

Why doesn't he know anything about it?

He watched him walk to the lecture position calmly, play the PPT calmly, with a slight smile on his face, open and close his mouth, and calmly start to make a topic selection report.

"The author is my postgraduate classmate, both of whom have a master's degree in history. The knowledge of the article can be guaranteed..."

Wu Chunjun was a little distracted when he listened, and the subtle feeling became stronger and stronger, and he even felt that the person who was giving the report was a little strange.

This topic was actually the one that Lu Minghong came up with on a whim during the Spring Festival. Originally, the manuscript was sent in April. After discussing it with Liu Chengying, he made some revisions and submitted it to the editorial director Wang Gan for review.Mr. Wang appreciated it after reading it, and put forward some opinions, and told him not to rush to add topics, but to demonstrate on the spot at the topic selection meeting in the middle of the year, including marketing plans.There is nothing wrong with the topic selection itself, and I am not afraid that the topic selection approval will not agree to publish it.

"Finally, I decided to add some hand-painted illustrations, occupying 1P alone, and drew the scenes corresponding to the titles of each chapter. This has also been communicated with the painters. The effect of drawing a few pictures is not bad, and the pictures are very impactful. The authors agree as well."

Wu Chunjun stared blankly at the PPT. When did he draw this picture, through what channels, and who did he ask for it?

"In terms of marketing, I plan to hold a small new book promotion pre-sale meeting during the summer vacation in July. At that time, all authors will also be invited to the scene, and it will be conducted in the form of on-site interviews, and the proportion of time spent interacting with readers will be increased. You can also join the live broadcast. One of the authors usually does a live broadcast, which can be operated by him, and he can also promote the pre-sale meeting to fans in advance. Other authors also agree to advertise in their social circles, including sending QQ groups, Weibo, WeChat circle of friends. Although the target group of this book is the general public, it is mainly young people, so the marketing plan will be more targeted at young people. The pre-sale meeting can also make some matching small gifts, such as... "

In the end, Wu Chunjun actually listened casually. When did he do all these things?

When he complained about the client?

How long has he been here?

Oh, it's been a full year.quite fast.It's been a year so soon.

He has been here for a year, and he proposed a topic. The report is so good, it can be seen that he has made a lot of preparations. Although compared with the veterans, he is still a little green and immature, but it is the first time for him to choose a topic. He has only graduated for a year.

He has been here for one year, so he has been here for three years.For three years, he hasn't really raised a single topic, and quite a few stillborn.He always comforts himself that he is not yet proficient, and there are still too many things to learn, so don’t worry if you take your time, just make progress little by little.Just now, he was still complacent about his little progress.

What is there to be complacent about?That person has outdone himself, and without knowing it, has left himself far behind.

Speaking of it, this is not without warning. That person works so hard and always looks eager to learn.

I used to think that others were stupid and sweet, but it turned out that I was really stupid.Didn't notice anything so obvious.In fact, subconsciously don't think about it.

The mid-year topic selection meeting ended in Wu Chunjun's depression.When Lu Minghong enthusiastically asked him to go out for a massage, he lied that he was uncomfortable and refused.

It's like a distressed dog running away.he thought secretly.

Obviously he should be happy for him, but Wu Chunjun couldn't stop the dark emotions in his heart.He remembered the part of the exam ranking in the Indian movie "Three Fools", "You will be sad if your friends are not good; if your friends are prosperous, you will be even more sad". This is really a weakness of human nature.

After that, Lu Minghong became obviously busy. He had to communicate with the author, the illustrator, the editor, the distribution department, the publishing department, the promotion copy, the book interpretation, and the poster inspection. , but also take into account other manuscripts in hand.

Since other people also had their own manuscripts, Lu Minghong's work was a bit squeezed for a while.During a meeting, the president learned about this situation and asked him to properly distribute some manuscripts, and immediately asked HR to recruit some publishing major interns from local colleges and universities.

Lu Minghong was a little embarrassed, and the president smiled, "It's not just for you. Next, there is a project that won the bid to start. The workload is heavy, and we need to reserve proofreading resources."

After the meeting, Brother Liu introduced him to several part-time proofreaders who took on jobs, all of whom were veterans. As for their respective advantages and disadvantages, which one has the best quality and which timing is better, Brother Liu also gave him a thorough understanding.After Lu Minghong sent out a few manuscripts, his hands immediately felt a lot more relaxed, and he concentrated more on preparing for the new book promotion meeting.

Within a few days, five interns came. Brother Liu trained them once and let them learn by doing.Lu Minghong also has one or two manuscripts for interns to make, and he will go to the interns to have a look at them when he has a little time, or he will go to give guidance when he checks the proofs and finds that there are many problems.It didn't take long for him to get to know them much better than Brother Liu.Wu Chunjun once passed by and heard them discussing happily.Later I found out that they even took the initiative to advertise for Lu Minghong's new book promotion meeting.

Wu Chunjun was lying on the bed, although he was holding a book in his hand, but his eyes were empty, and he didn't know how many days he had gone to.Lu Minghong came in wiping his wet hair with a towel, and saw Chun Jun was wandering in the sky, his silly look was very cute, he smiled, sat on the edge of the bed and looked at him, "What are you thinking?"

Wu Chunjun came back to his senses, and glanced at his upper body, "Exhibitionist."

It was the turn of June and July, and it was midsummer. It was normal for a man to be shirtless, but after turning on the air conditioner, the number of shirtless shirts was much less and the duration was much shorter.

Lu Minghong knew that he was teasing on purpose, so he continued, "I'm still wearing shorts, how could I be exposed?"

"If you even take off your shorts, you're a pervert."

Lu Minghong raised his eyebrows, and smiled wickedly, "You've already said that, how can I not be weird?" As he spoke, he touched the mermaid line with both hands.

Wu Chunjun saw that the shorts were really pulled down a little bit, and the end of the mermaid line was about to be exposed. In a panic, he kicked over, "Pervert." Kicked the person out of the bed.

It seems... a little too hard?

Wu Chunjun felt a little embarrassed, and immediately got up and walked out, still saying: "I don't want to stay in the same room with the pervert, it won't be safe at night."

Lu Minghong was still sitting on the ground, watching his back as he walked out, smiled slightly, and continued to wipe his hair.He really wasn't in a good mood.

In fact, he also noticed that Chunjun's mood was a little depressed for a while, and it was not obvious that he was busy during the day, but it was obvious that he was quieter at night.That weird client's project is over, so what's making him unhappy?Could it be something happened in his family?It doesn't look like it, otherwise he should have told himself, after all, he has told himself a lot, and he can't hide his words.

Don't tell me, could it be... the reason why he is in a bad mood has something to do with me?

Hey, I've been too busy recently, when I'm done with this book, if Chunjun is still like this, I'll have a good talk with him.

After Wu Chunjun walked out of the room, he had nowhere to go, so he had to go to the balcony to get some wind.Although it was night, the wind was still hot, making people dizzy.

In the past year of getting along, there have been many small fights like this, and we have long been used to each other, and we have become the closest people without knowing it.I'm so used to him always coming to ask me for advice and always circling around me, so when I realized that I suddenly couldn't keep up with him, I was at a loss.

Now he can chat with Brother Liu, chat with President Wang, chat with the president, and guide interns. He not only planned a topic selection, but also organized a new book promotion, which has surpassed himself by a lot.If this continues, I will only lag behind him more and more, from within reach to out of reach.When I think of this, I feel a little pain in my heart.

I'm too lazy.Being surpassed is not something unpredictable.

It's just because it's the closest, so it's even more unacceptable.

well.It's not okay to blame yourself like this, Wu Chunjun, cheer up!
