Chapter 81 The Angry Author

Tian Tian: "Why are you here? You didn't even tell me..."

Da Da threw the book into his arms: "See for yourself what good deed you have done?!"

Brother Liehuo hurriedly came out to smooth things over: "Don't quarrel, don't quarrel, Dada, you are tired from walking, come in and drink some water first." He took Tian Tian, ​​Xiaosong and Dada into the office.

Zhuang Mo looked at Song Peng's team with a confused look on his face: "You go downstairs to move the computers first." Jingyu didn't have an Internet Department, and a few IT guys came to work, and the computers in the company were not enough. Zhuang Mo I specially bought a few desktops for them.

The younger brothers went happily, and Zhuang Mo walked back to the office, watching Da Ke and Tian Tian tearing each other up.

"Where's the editor-in-chief?" Da Da inspected around, but didn't see Ye Shun.

Brother Lie Huo let out an uh: "He's on a business trip. I'm the executive editor. If you need anything, you can call me."

Koda turned to page 147 with a frosty complexion: "Look for yourself."

There was a buzzing in Tian Tian's head, and a passage of a hundred words on the second half of the page was printed twice.

"Didn't you check it when you were typesetting?" Da Da shouted.

This is a major printing accident, Brother Lie Huo couldn't help but frowned: "Xiao Song, what's the matter with you?" His old partner has worked in this industry for so many years, and he designed and typeset the books of Sihai and Xuan Yuan. Brother can't believe that he can even make such an obvious low-level mistake.

Xiaosong pushed his glasses and didn't say anything, but Tian Tian said in a low voice, "It's not his fault, it's because I changed too many times." He wanted to finish the book so much that he asked Xiaosong to publish several editions of the design, so that Later, when it was about to leave the printing factory and was still revising, Xiao Song and he both worked overtime until dizzy.Probably because of this, Komatsu copied and pasted it twice.

Brother Liehuo apologized for him: "Kadao, I'm really sorry about this, Tian Tian is writing a book for the first time, and he is not experienced enough, so it is inevitable that he will be in a hurry in some places, please bear with me..."

I don't want to get even more angry: "You guys clearly know that he has no experience, why do you want him to do my book?!"

As if struck by lightning, Tian Tian suddenly raised his head and looked at him in astonishment.

"At the beginning, when he asked me to publish a book, he said that he just scraped the content from Weibo, but then he changed a paragraph seven or eight times, and it didn't look like it at all! Readers are targeting me Come here, if you get the book, what you see is just a trick, what do they think?!"

"No, it's because of the publishing house..." Tian Tian couldn't help but argue.

Brother Lihuo signaled him to shut up: "Yeah, keep talking."

"I know what my readers want to read, why should Tian Tian lead my content?! He is a small editor and has no experience at all. Could it be that he is better at writing things than me? If so, then there is no problem. I listened to him, the problem is that he doesn’t understand at all! He has one idea every day, one idea every day, and told me to add something extra. After the book was printed, I looked it up, and there was nothing at all. Then why did you urge me to submit the manuscript? ?!" Koda said angrily.

Tian Tian was so wronged that he was about to cry.Da Ke's story was too obscene, and he was called and scolded by the publishing house when he handed it in. He really couldn't change it, and Tian Tian didn't dare to tell him, so he secretly withdrew it.

"Then there is the issue of the cover and surroundings. I told him my thoughts. At first he ignored me, but then he didn't reply at all. He didn't change the copywriting I wanted to change at all. He didn't change the details I wanted to add. I also shied away from the artist’s reluctance to add it, so I just pulled it down. Including some technical requirements, none of them were met. This title design should be hot silver, so he made a bump for me, it’s so ugly! And this paper, why is it so so Bai, it looks super cheap! This is my book and not his, so why should he make decisions for me?! He doesn't respect me at all!"

Brother Riehuo nodded helplessly.In fact, this should not be a matter of the author. In the traditional publishing process, the author should wait to get the money after handing over the manuscript. The later design, printing, and sales links have nothing to do with him. At most, he can cooperate Xuanfa, the editor should be the one who makes the book.If the author interferes too much and has to grasp everything by himself, then why do he need to edit?Like Keda, he wants 100g Daolin. In fact, there is no difference between 80g and 100g Daolin leaflets. It only concerns the thickness of the book. Tian Tian changed it for him to 80g pure, and the gloss of the paper is top notch. , The book is also thin and slender.But he couldn't say that.Now that he is angry again, Brother Lie Huo can only masturbate.

"Later, there were various problems during the pre-sale. The inventory was only set at 2000 copies, and the shooting was finished in one minute. After waiting for three minutes, it was not put on the shelves again. Many readers waited in front of the computer for a long time, but it was sold out in a second. They all thought I was engaged in hunger marketing and couldn’t buy it anymore, so they turned around and scolded me. Why is Taobao’s design so unprofessional? The options for the first 1 minutes and the first 3 minutes can be completely separated. Then you can buy it when this option is grayed out. Other things. If you make it like this, you will never be able to find anyone in customer service. Readers will go to Weibo to find me. Most of the problems are solved by me. Am I your customer service?!"

"This question is indeed...we accept it humbly." Brother Liehuo apologized to him, and then told Tian Tian, ​​"You remember it quickly."

"After the pre-sale was over, the delivery waited for more than half a month. Everyone was urging me. Why did the delivery delay on the 25th? You are a book, not a personal journal. Such a large printing factory has [-] copies. The book couldn’t be printed?! After getting the book, readers responded that there were various problems. If it wasn’t for the fact that the address was changed in the previous message, it was sent to the original address. Countless! Some of them are clearly in the top [-], but they receive unsigned ones, and special signatures are sent to the wrong person! If this is the case, why do I need to cooperate with signing? You can’t send it to my readers at all! Jingyu is also in the publishing industry An established company, why can’t even do such a small thing as packing?!”

Brother Riehuo smiled wryly.Keda’s packaging is completely different from other authors. Other authors send a box of books directly to the channel dealer, and at most give a few signed books.His special signature, peripherals, and the number of books are different for each order, and there is no way to outsource it. The packers in the printing factory are illiterate, so Tian Tian and the others have to do it by themselves.They packed tens of thousands of books in a week, and all of them suffered from neck cramps and injuries on their hands, but in the eyes of the author, if the readers were not satisfied, the top ten credits would be wiped out.

"You don't have to worry about these things. We will take care of them for you in the future. This situation will never happen next time." Brother Lie Huo said.It is also the first time for them to write a Weibo author's book. They have accumulated experience and will be able to do better next time.

"Then how to solve this printing problem?"

Brother Liehuo sighed: "When reprinting, typographical errors will definitely be corrected, and those that have already been released cannot be recovered because of the errors on this page. We will use the official Weibo to apologize to you and the readers. The entire editorial department This month's performance is all deducted, and I, as the executive editor-in-chief, have a bad supervision, and I won't get the year-end bonus this year, are you satisfied with this treatment?"

Da Da reluctantly hummed, and added: "I want to change the editor."

Tian Tian seemed to be slapped face to face.

Da Da glanced at him, and said forcefully: "Don't let Tian Tian do my book in the future. Why does he have no experience and ask me to bear the consequences? I want Wu Lan to take me personally." A great author, it should be followed by a more senior editor.

Tian Tian couldn't stand it anymore, and rushed out the door crying.

Brother Liehuo sighed: "The editor-in-chief no longer has an author. If you have no objections, I will be your editor. I will ask Tian Tian to apologize to you——Where do you live? The room is open." Is it over? The company will book a hotel for you, and go have a meal first. "

Koda was finally coaxed, nodded, and went out for dinner with brother Liehuo.Zhuang Mo listened to the audience in the corner and watched the diorama all the time. At this time, Shi Shiran also got up and went to the rooftop to find Tian Tian.Tian Tian sat on the ground very pitifully, crying all over.
