Another World Under My Pen

Chapter 6: Publishing house

"Sister, is that guy really your boyfriend?"

"Oh, yes."

The sister in the lobby nodded without hesitation, and said gently: "Others are pretty good, and they will definitely take care of you at work, but since you go, you must work hard, you know?"

"it is good……"

After receiving the positive news from the sister in the lobby, Sun Peng was a little frustrated, and hung up the phone unhappy.

Although he was not a real sister, Sun Peng was still upset when he heard that the sister in the lobby had a boyfriend. He was no different from the other boys who were "taken away" by their sister. Of course, Sun Peng himself knows very well that this is because after the death of his parents, except for the elderly grandfather, Sun Jing usually takes care of the teenage boys, and naturally they have developed a deep relationship, no different from their sisters. Up.

If it were replaced by the second cousin, Sun Ya, Sun Peng probably would have liked her to get married quickly.

Sun Peng, who had completed the soul fusion and accepted all the feelings of the two at the same time, easily accepted this kind of heartache, and then secretly made up his mind to stare at this guy who wanted to be his brother-in-law! If you think about it, there is an advertising company that is on the rise. It is young and more money, and it is built from scratch. Such a guy will usually be tempted a lot. If it's just the boss, forget it. If you add the identity of a sister and boyfriend, Sun Peng thinks he has an obligation to watch this guy to death...

"what?"

When he thought of this, Sun Peng suddenly moved his brows and raised his brows slightly: "By the way... the eldest sister asked me to go to this company for an interview. In addition to looking for a job for me, would he also monitor that guy by the way? It means...tsh, shouldn't it? It's not Sun Ya, but the gentle and generous eldest sister, she shouldn't think so...well, really won't..."

"Didi! Didi!"

Just as Sun Peng spread himself on the old dilapidated sofa in the posture of Uncle Ge, and secretly wondered whether the gentle and lovely eldest sister had a dark belly this time, his equally dilapidated old computer suddenly made two short sounds. Didi sound finally freed him from the entanglement between left and right.

A message popped up from the communication software TT reminding Sun Peng that a stranger wanted to be a friend.

"Huh? A loyal reader of Shooting Eagle?"

After seeing the information of the incoming person, Sun Peng's brows suddenly frowned.

Many online novel authors in this world also have reader groups to facilitate communication, but the problem is that Sun Pengke has never set up such a thing... In fact, except for the TT number when he registered his real name, later With the addition of an editor from Shuxiang Chinese.com, there is no third person who knows that this number belongs to the author of the Legend of the Condor Heroes. How did this guy find it?

After a little hesitation, Sun Peng passed the other party's application.

"Hello, is it Mr. Sun Peng?"

As soon as a second or two passed, a message from the other party automatically popped up, and then the second message popped up immediately: "I am Zheng Ye, editor of Shuxiang Publishing House. I am glad to meet you!"

"The editor of Shuxiang Publishing House?"

The identity of the visitor immediately frightened Sun Peng, isn't it a loyal reader? How did it become an editor?

However, after a little thought, Sun Peng immediately understood what was going on.

On another planet, China’s publishing industry implements a strict licensing system. Nearly 600 publishing houses are basically state-owned. Only they can apply for a book’s ID card—the book number, which is the barcode on the back cover of the book. Line of numbers. But in fact, there are private publishing companies that are many times larger than the number of publishing houses. They do not have the right to apply for book numbers. If they want to publish books, they must cooperate with these publishing houses and purchase book numbers from them.

To be precise, buying and selling ISBNs is an act prohibited by the state.

The main purpose of this approach is actually to control the content of publications and ensure that they conform to national policies and values. It's just that the publishing market without private power is a stagnant water, so the state gradually relaxed its policies, allowing private publishing companies to enter this market openly and stepped onto the table. It's just that during this process, there was a lot of chaos, and Sun Peng had heard of many things in his previous life.

But in this world, the publishing industry has very few restrictions.

At the end of the 19th century in China, which turned into a historical crossroads, the publishing industry now implements a registration system, but if the publication is illegal, it will be punished after the fact. Therefore, it is not that difficult to establish a publishing house. Corresponding to the publishing industry are movies, music, etc., and the policies also appear to be extremely loose. When Sun Peng was reborn to understand the world, he found that China's cultural industry was extremely developed, and it was not comparable to China in another world.

In the final analysis, strong economic power has given birth to a developed cultural industry.

China in this world has the natural soil for a developed cultural industry-a strong national power, a developed economy, a relatively loose policy, and of course an indispensable traditional cultural heritage. How many magnificent historical dramas and movies can be spawned every year just with thousands of years of rich history? In the film market of the whole world, Chinese historical films, like American science fiction and action films, are synonymous with top movies.

It is difficult for this situation to coexist with strong national power and cultural backwardness, at least not for a long time.

In fact, this is the same reason as piracy. When a country's cultural industry is backward and facing foreign cultural invasion, it is difficult for the country to actively prevent piracy, or even condone it to some extent. This is not only the case of the Chinese government in another world, but also powers such as Germany, the United States, and RB. The United States is the patriarch of the piracy industry. The maddened Dickens and other British literature tycoons are almost vomiting blood. But when their national power becomes stronger and the cultural industry has a certain scale, attaching importance to cultural creativity and protecting intellectual property rights will become a basic national policy. No country can escape such a process...

Well, far away.

The Shuxiang Media Group, which is affiliated to Shuxiang Chinese Network, is one of the five most famous media groups in China. In addition to literary websites, Shuxiang Media also has publishing houses, film companies, TV drama production companies, record companies, animation production companies, etc., and even a game production company, covering almost all aspects of the entire cultural industry. The network novels, subsequent changes to TV series, movies, comics, animations, games, etc. can all be completed within the group, forming a complete industrial chain. Shuxiang Publishing House is one of the beneficiaries of Shuxiang Chinese behind the scenes, so it is not difficult to understand why they can get Sun Peng's contact information. After all, they belong to a group anyway, and this benefit is still there.

but……

After these twists and turns flashed in Sun Peng's mind, he typed a line of words puzzled: "Editor Zheng, I am also glad to meet you. You are looking for me for the book of Legend of the Condor Heroes, right?"

After waiting for a few seconds, the other party's reply came: "Yes, Mr. Sun, I personally like the novel "Shooting the Eagle" very much, so I would take the liberty to ask, do you still keep the physical copyright of this book? Are interested entities publishing this novel?"

"Oh!"

After reading this passage from the other party, Sun Peng suddenly became energetic!

Sun Peng really couldn't satisfy Sun Peng with the results of shooting the eagle. Those numbers made him feel very sorry for Jin Da, and even more sorry for his own purse expectations. Moreover, looking at the desolate posture of the chivalrous novels at the moment, it may be extremely difficult for the shooting of the sculpture to become popular. But if there is a physical publication, the situation is different. Can you not mention it first? I heard that the manuscript fee of the entity is calculated based on the number of prints. You can always get more or less?

"Of course, they still have it."

After a hurried reply, Sun Peng groaned and then wrote: "But since you like this book, you should know that its current grades are not good? I am curious, why are you interested in a book with such poor grades? What?"

"Poor grades?"

Zheng Ye quickly sent a series of laughter expressions, as if laughing in front of Sun Peng: "Mr. Sun, I think you have misunderstood one thing, that is, in the classification of traditional chivalrous novels, shooting the eagle The results are definitely not bad! Moreover, our physical publishing is not the same as online novels. The measurement standard is not simply defined by the results you think."

"Oh?"

After reading this passage, Sun Peng's eyes lit up instantly.
