Chapter 229 Between your eyes and me(2/2)

I sat at the same table and wished a happy birthday, why didn’t I know?

Wang Zixu replied: "She is the editor-in-chief of my magazine."

"Oh." An Younan nodded.

Seeing him in a dilemma, An Younan said, "Do you think she wants you to go to the publishing house to sell yourself and take the initiative to submit your resume?"

Wang Zixu didn't think so, but the nature of his conceived behavior was not far from the same.

"It doesn't need that," said An Younan. "After all, literati are literati. They must follow the elegant circle of playing and not be too explicit. What is the idiom called? How can you sell yourself?"

Duan Xiaosang: "Where is such an idiom?"

Wang Zixu said: "Let's wait for the price."

"Yes, wait for the price," said An Younan, "you should act as a wait for the price, be arrogant, arrogant, and make a show with ease, so that publishers can discover you so that you can get a good contract."

Wang Zixu asked: "So, on which occasion can you make the publisher pay attention to me?"

An Younan stretched out a slender finger and pointed it in the air: "You asked the key. It's very simple to find that kind of occasion, please give me a question."

"Please."

"As long as you can ask me... why did you agree so easily!?"

Wang Zixu said seriously: "I don't want "The Fire of the Stone" to fail."

This is the only reason.

He didn't want anyone to watch "The Fire of Stone". No one watched the crystallization of the writer's willingness to work hard.

What is said about "hiding famous mountains" and "leaving them to future generations" is just a beautiful word to comfort oneself.

The life of the novel lies in spreading and living in people's memories. The author distributes part of his life to the story, which is the continuation of his life.

After Duan Xiaosang's words, he realized that the sentence "It is a writer's responsibility to finish writing the novel" is a bit empty.

Because of his own reasons, Shi Tonghe made trouble for his books; in order to open his eyes to Shi Tonghe and suppress him, the people from the Wenhui Association made a big fuss about his books.

Wherever others are, people are books, and books are people.

How could he separate himself?

If this is the case, it is his sin to leave "The Fire of Stone" alone.

"I hope there are many people who come to read this book. For this reason, I am willing to do anything," said Wang Zixu.

Because it was too easy, An Younan lost the fun of playing with mice, but instead became distracted and hummed: "Okay."

"What you have to do is very simple. Just make an appointment with me once."

...

The so-called social engagement refers to a group of men and women exchanging life residues and emotional garbage in a non-public, non-work, and non-family occasion, just drinking, and integrating resources and connections.

Many people hate social engagements. But social engagements are a necessity. Even if they are as remote as Wang Zixu, they were forced to participate in many social engagements during the first years of work.

Or change to a more popular name, "Jiu".

There are big and small things, and there are top and bottoms. The big ones meet the president, and the small ones have beggars. The top ones have mask suits, cocktail parties, and the bottom ones have KTV private rooms, touch and sing.

Depending on the participants' identity, the form of the bureau is also different.

An Younan did not ask Wang Zixu to sell himself for a date with her, but asked him to attend a bureau.

Compared with 20 years ago, the book industry has become increasingly declining in its relative status, but its absolute GDP has been expanding. The industry competition is becoming increasingly fierce. Putting aside the "central-level" publishing houses, private private enterprises are competing for bayonets more and more fiercely.

Authors need to know publishers, publishers need to know channel vendors. Driven by demand, in addition to public activities such as BIBF Expo, major book fairs, book festivals, etc., there are also some closed-door activities.

An Younan asked Wang Zixu to participate, which is the "Guxuan Reading Salon" that is known to the outside world and is well known to everyone in the industry.

Gu Xuan is a well-known entrepreneur. He has been deeply involved in the book market since the last century and is the number one person in the book industry. He has great appeal in the industry. Therefore, the salon named him has also had a huge impact in the industry.

This salon is opened every year, and there is a working team of 200 people just by planning and execution of the event. The salon implements an invitation system, adhering to the principle of preferring nothingness rather than being abused. Only 100 places are invited each year, and no more than one.

Although there are not many people, the people invited every year must be the best and elite in the industry. It is worth showing off if you are qualified to attend this party, which is enough to make the saliva of the industry insiders.

This activity is so prominent.

Of course, Wang Zixu is not qualified to receive the invitation.

Although he won the first prize of the Xihe Cultural Association, won the "Go", and became popular online, according to An Younan's language, it was still not qualified. At least he had to win a national award to be included.
