What should I do if the heroine escapes from the book?

Chu Ge, who accidentally used the magic sword, was also worried. He suddenly felt as if he had become some kind of villain, and even the communication with the publisher was not as exciting.

"Hello, I'm Chu Ge."

"Hello, Mr. Chu, this may be a bit of a misunderstanding..."

Chu Ge knew there was no misunderstanding, so he still followed the steps: "Hmm... should we find a way to solve it now? In short, I don't accept this kind of change. If it's troublesome, just stop publishing it."

The other party replied hastily: "Can't stop."

Chu Ge: "Why? Are there any legal factors?"

"That's not true." The other party hesitated for a moment and then said, "There are business reasons."

Chugo understood.

Dare to love is not because you are afraid of the food circle, but because you bow your head for money.

Originally, publishing houses were meant to make money, not to promote culture.

At first, I reluctantly felt that it was too rich, and I wanted to change it to something more literary. But I found out that the appeal was so terrifying, and the commercial value was much higher than I thought. How could I stop?

Chu Ge sighed and had no intention of saying more. He just said: "I think your first issue should not be many. The small bookstore here only saw this one, maybe a few thousand in total? The loss of withdrawing the reissue is not too big." Is it big?"

"Yes, the first issue is only 5,000 copies. The loss...is a little bit." The other party still said: "It doesn't matter, it is our mistake and we will bear it."

"Then print it directly according to the original text. If you want to modify it, I will only accept short sentences and merge them into long paragraphs. I know that our segmentation may not be compliant, but this is caused by different reading media. There is a lot of text on the APP for readers I was tired of reading, so I divided it into more paragraphs. If I changed the physical book, I merged it when necessary. Don’t think that the author really doesn’t understand. As for the other words that cannot be changed, even if you think I am illiterate and wrote wrong, you can’t change it.”

"..."

"Difficulties?"

"...No, just listen to the teacher."

Since you want to make money, of course you listen to the teacher. In fact, Teacher Chu's attitude was much better than they expected. They thought they were going to scold him bloody, but it turned out to be quite straightforward.

Chu Ge sighed again: "Send me a sample book before you print it. I remember that we had this rule before, but why don't we even have this now..."

The other party smiled apologetically: "I'll do it next time."

One click to connect three times... Chu Ge finally shook his head: "I'll post another explanation on Weibo, and let's leave it at that..."

The matter was resolved much faster than expected. I thought it would take a long time to argue and even lead to a lawsuit, but it was resolved instantly after the magic sword was unsheathed. Chu Ge actually felt a little unsure. No wonder Qiuqiu said that this was a magic sword, which really made even her heart palpitate.

So I hurriedly posted a new Weibo: "We have communicated with the publisher and the work will be reprinted according to the original text. Thank you for your concern."

I was not sure whether I could be comforted or not.

In any case, the key to the matter has been solved, but unfortunately the original excitement of publishing the book is no longer found, and the interest is waning.

The cell phone rang suddenly, and it turned out to be an unknown caller. When Chu Ge picked up the call, the caller actually said: "Xiao Chu, I am Chen Bozhong of the Writers Association."

Chu Ge's mind turned around a lot before he remembered that this was the vice chairman of the Writers' Association, a serious Writers' Association, not the Tennis Association. I haven’t participated in Writers Association activities for a long time, and I almost have no memory of it. At first glance, I thought that the homophonic sound of this name is quite connotative...

"Chairman Chen is too polite. What are your instructions?"

"I heard that you were having a bad time with the publishing house? The other party came to talk to me about it." Chen Bozhong said: "Many of us have experienced this matter of haphazardly changing works. When anger returns, life has to go on. Well, it’s always good to be published... Let’s invite the publishing house to have a meal together some other day and let’s talk about it?”

"Oh, we just made peace, it's okay. Thank you, Chairman Chen, for your concern."

"So fast?" Chen Bozhong was a little surprised: "I heard there was a big fuss?"

"Ahem...a little unexpected, a little unexpected, nothing serious."

"That's good. Young people shouldn't be too impatient. It's easier to do good work if you get along with others." Chen Bozhong sighed: "A local writer has published another work, but no one has reported it to us. The work is not up to standard."

"Ahaha, I don't even know. It's a bit sudden. I don't blame anything else."

"Hmm... Recently there is a national key support work project to submit. Xiao Chu will take a look and do you want to submit it?"

At first glance, Chu Ge still wanted it: "What is that? Do you have any requirements?"

"First, the theme of great changes in mountains and villages in the new era reflects the new atmosphere of rural revitalization and new achievements in agricultural and rural modernization... Second, national rejuvenation..."

Chu Ge was sweating after hearing this, and the idea of ​​​​wanting disappeared instantly: "Chairman Chen, forget it, we are really not good at this, let's just tell some martial arts stories, right, Jin Yong's kind, about the revitalization of Niujia Village? ?”

Chen Bozhong said: "That doesn't matter. If it doesn't work this time, just try next time. If you have a writing style that can be published, and you have such a broad mass base, you can write more stories about your hometown, just to promote your hometown. Short stories will do too. ."

"Hometown? Nanjiang?"

"...Our city is not called Nanjiang."

"But I can only write about Nanjiang."

Chen Bozhong: "???"

"How about restoring the atmosphere of my hometown and reviving the culture?" Chu Ge smiled and said: "Okay, I appreciate Chairman Chen's care for the juniors and his enthusiasm for his hometown. I appreciate it very much. I will try my best to give it a try when I have the opportunity in the future."

Chen Bozhong suddenly said: "With your words, can you get past the system?"

"No, I have worked in state-owned enterprises, more or less."

Chen Bozhong was silent for a moment: "Okay, we'll talk about it later."

I don’t know if this means that I want to cultivate Chu Ge to take on some tasks in the Writers Association, but Chu Ge doesn’t want to care.

Previously, I felt that publishing was like turning fiction into reality. After the change from the publishing house and the phone call from the Writers Association, I still deeply felt that there are two worlds, or two eras.

Everyone does not understand each other, and there is a deep gap in the middle.

Chu Ge leaned on the back of the chair in a daze. Ever since Qiuqiu passed through, life has gradually become a bit fantasy, especially as he can pass through books, the breath of reality is getting less and less, leaving only some firewood, rice, oil and salt, which cannot be left. memory. Today, I was suddenly exposed to such a typical intersection of reality, and I actually felt a little bit unaccustomed to it.

Scenes such as blind dates, farewells, and class reunions in the past seemed very far away, and the study and work earlier seemed even more like a dream.

The things I may come into contact with in the future will be even more unrealistic... Thinking about it this way, today's experience was not bad. It can be regarded as one of the rare memories left in my work life.

Qiu Wuji outside the door poked his head.

Chu Ge quickly noticed and said with a smile: "I don't even know when he went out."

Qiu Wuji walked in with his hands behind his back: "While you are talking to someone on QQ, why should I stand by?"

Chu Ge knew something was wrong just by looking at her hands hidden behind her back. He smiled and said, "What are you going to do?"

Qiu Wuji asked expectantly: "Has your anger subsided?"

"It's gone. I'm actually still a little melancholy."

Qiu Wuji then took out his hand, but it was the "Chutian Wuji": "Although you are very unhappy, I still bought it."

Chugoqi said: "We are going to reprint it soon. This single volume is equivalent to waste paper. Did you buy it to stand on the table legs?"

Qiu Wuji sighed: "You, you were so overwhelmed by the incident that you forgot why you wanted the physical book..."

Chu Ge suddenly thought, and then remembered that he was looking for the physical book to see if he could find the passage between the two worlds through this "mirror image", at least as a research method.

As a result, I was so overwhelmed by these nonsense that I completely forgot about it.

Qiu Wuji put the book into his hand: "Then let's take a look. Since the plot has not been changed, the mirror world corresponding to the book is still our world. Give it a try."

Chu Ge laughed and said, "A really good and conscientious assistant."

"That's right." Qiu Wuji said: "The boss can do whatever he wants, but the assistant must remember it."

"Have you ever heard that if you have something to do, your assistant will do it? It's okay..."

The little feet kicked over.

Chu Ge ducked around and hugged Qiu Wuji's waist: "Come, let's read a book together."
