I'm in Terra, governing a weird little country.

Coming down from the upstairs of the publishing house, the editor following Lin Yuxia led her to the bookshelf stall of "The Chronicles of the Kingdoms of Esth" and introduced:

"Ms. Lin, please see, this is the most eye-catching location in the entire bookstore. The contents of the prologue are all placed here. I will publish the abridged version of the manuscript you sent me in one month after further review."

Lin Yuxia nodded and looked at the people coming and going around her. Occasionally, some people stopped to look at the scene here, and they were a little confused:

"I thought there were so many people in the bookstore just to grab this book."

"No way, Miss Lin, you should also know very well that this kind of book that satirizes the government is always the hardest to sell."

The editor-in-chief said,

"I have seen the original copy of the unmodified manuscript sent by Governor Wei and Mr. Adams. Although there are some things in it that are indeed not suitable for publication from my standpoint, but... ..”

He paused and said with the professionalism of a copy editor rather than the political identity of a reviewer:

"I would say that the audience for this kind of book is very obvious, that is, lovers of politics and history, as well as big figures like Governor Wei. After all, there is a lot of content in "Usi" that is quite profound and makes people feel... You can feel a completely different world and the magnificence of many specious civilizations.”

"But in this era, few people read books, and they rarely read political and historical books. Even if the content seems to be science fiction, the label has dissuaded a large number of people. And Half of the people who deliberately pretend to read political history books don't understand it, and half of those who do understand it disapprove, and the rest are just fun-loving people who oppose the government and historical nihilism."

He shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands as if helpless.

"So, this is why I insist on prologue first and argue with Governor Wei. To a certain extent, I think this prologue allows more room for people's imagination than the actual content that follows. There’s potential for a big fire.”

The editor-in-chief said, letting out a long sigh and commenting from the bottom of his heart:

"The person who wrote this book is a genius, but unfortunately, geniuses don't write jokes."

PS: I didn’t write the foreshadowing clearly in the previous picture, so I’ll make a patch here.

Shi Huaiya and Wei Yanwu actually mentioned the printer, and the issue of deletion and review has been mentioned a long time ago. Logically speaking, I should write a special article to talk about Ersi's deletion issue, but I want to catch up on the progress. , I took the line on the Victoria side, so I took this section for granted.The result is a gap in understanding.

I apologize and will try to slow down my pace in the future.

Chapter 95 Wei Yanwu: Seventy-seven percent success, 彳亍

Dayan, Longmen, Longmen Governor's Mansion.

Looking at Weina, who was clearly looking like an enemy, Wei Yanwu looked helpless.

"Miss Wei Na, I understand your request very clearly."

To be fair, it was really unreasonable to throw out the setting set first, but this was also the result of a compromise after discussions between him, Lin Gerui, and O'Er.

Is "The Chronicles of the Kingdoms of Ez" written well?

Ernst's writing is good, but some parts of it are indeed too straightforward to be published.

For example, at the end of "The Ancient Civilization of China - The Age of Mythology", the battle of "King Wu Defeats Zhou" was called by the "narrator" the last divine battle in Chinese history.

Changes of dynasties are actually not uncommon. In distant foreign countries, the Pegasus gods were overthrown by the Knights, the Hippogriff Empire was overthrown by the Ursus, and Drak was invaded by Aslan, forcing him to sign a treaty and transfer the succession rights to the throne. split into two.

In Wei Yanwu's view, the change of dynasties described in the Chronicle of the Kingdoms of Esth is a normal thing, just like what the "narrator" said in the introduction: Most happy things are similar, but misfortunes are different.Without the problems of natural disasters and ore diseases, the world would not necessarily become a better place.On the contrary, because there is no default punching bag for the infected, people's oppressed emotions cannot be released and gradually accumulate. Under the amplification of other objective factors, it is normal for the powder keg to be ignited and overthrow a tyrant.

But why do you choose to report on this kind of thing?

What China is alluding to is the Great Flame. Even if Ernst does not have this idea, even if everything is reasonable and natural, as long as we stand on the Great Flame, the angle of view will be biased.

Because no one in this world can be absolutely objective.

A veteran like Wei Yanwu knows it very well, and the other three people who have read the manuscript will also know it.

Looking from the front, the dynasty changes described by Ernst are a warning to those rulers. After stealing the village and gaining fame, King Chen rose up and waved the yellow ax. If you trample the people under their feet, the people will naturally throw you into disrepute. To rock bottom.

But in the eyes of those with bad intentions, this is a reminder to them that disrupting social order and openly rebelling are justified. As long as enough people are confused, the chance of success is even high!

At that time, the world will change, and the emperor will take turns to sit in my house this year!

Is rebellion justified?

From Ernst's perspective, rebellion is justified.

It's a pity that many people in Terra, to put it boldly, except for a few old monsters who may not be considered human beings, their ideological level has obviously never taken party classes.

If you can't reach that level, you know, the most advanced thing is capitalism. Even the financial giants on Wall Street can't compare. The bankers' methods are still limited to forced demolitions and contract traps. Those who can't go up or down are stuck. It's like terminal cancer.

Therefore, for Wei Yanwu and the other three people, they sought common ground while reserving differences, and finally came to this point.

First of all, Vina and Ernst, the beast agent behind her, should try not to offend them as much as possible.You must be careful in your posture and cautious in your actions.We must pay attention to it, but how to pay attention to it is a science. Book publishing must be published, but how to publish it is also a science.

The result of the discussion between Wei Yanwu and the editor was to publish a preface first as a warm-up for the main body of the book.This was followed by a series of promotional programs.

For example, when filming a program called "Into the Oasis", based on the content in the "Preface" combined with part of the "China Chapter" content, several periods of expert analysis, several sitcoms, and several mysterious explorations will be conducted. column, in order to first heat up the concept of "Earth from another world" and arouse the interest of Longmen people in the era of great entertainment.

After all, TV programs and variety shows on intercity networks are always more eye-catching than dry text in books.

The key is that in these programs, Wei Yanwu can subtly guide the interpretation of "Esi China".

As an authority, expert interpretation is aimed at middle-aged and elderly people, sitcoms, as a specialty of the entertainment era, are aimed at young and middle-aged people, and the mysterious exploration column is aimed at those who have no idea what politics is but like to pretend that they understand it. "Awakening Boys".

In this way, the mainstream media tone and analysis methods can be determined.It has an absolute upper hand in publicity.

At this time, it is logical to launch the "Osci Civilization Ancient Country China Chapter" that has been reviewed for content deletions. Coupled with the publicity of the TV network, it will not only attract a lot of attention, but also avoid the trend of the trend. Bias, discussing the risks of “going off track.”

Wei Yanwu will also have something to say by then.

You Vina said I didn't pay attention to this matter, right?For the publication of "Earth", Longmen has made great efforts, including supporting TV programs and online variety shows, plus on-site analysis by big-name experts, and participation of star actors in performances. I am afraid that no book publication can achieve this. Treated!After this process, even if it is a pornographic book, it will be a big seller!How can you say I don't pay attention?

The only drawback may be that Erth's release will be delayed, and other programs and variety shows may take over the spotlight, squeezing people's space to think about "Earth" independently.

But you didn’t tell me “this is not allowed” in advance, right?

You can’t blame me, can you?

After all, Wei Yanwu is a seasoned politician. In terms of how to "fulfill the other party's requirements while achieving his own goals," his experience is even greater than that of Ernst, who has been a man for two generations.

Let alone Vina, who had just become a diplomat and had never experienced such a scene before.

Wei Na is not a genius, any politician needs time to settle down.Nor could she be like the iron-blooded Bismarck or the Austrian Prime Minister Metternich who established the Vienna System.

Wei Yanwu's explanation was perfect, the blueprint he drew was tempting enough, and the plan he gave was impeccable. Apart from writing these things in letters and reporting them to Ernst, all she could do was to monitor Wei Yanwu at Longmen and deliver the promised Things are implemented one by one.

"Of course, if Miss Wei Na is dissatisfied with this plan, I can also promise to cancel these arrangements and publish the subsequent chapters according to the normal process within a week. What do you think?"

What do you think, this sentence throws the choice of the matter back to Wei Na.

Commonly known as, kicking the ball.

Wei Yanwu was very cunning. He didn't want to offend the agent of a giant beast at all, so he let Wei Na make the decision.

This was actually a trap. From the first time he made such a decision without telling Wei Na and the other three, he had actually made the choice on Wei Na's behalf.

But now he wants to act innocent and for your own good.

This kind of thing is very common. If Ernst was here, he would be able to react. This is just like his father who went to do errands and waited for a long time. As a result, when it was his turn, another person jumped in the queue. Are they exactly the same?

Tell you "Either you continue to wait, or you can come back tomorrow." He never mentions the queue jumper or his own mistake in receiving the queue jumper. He puts the blame on the victim and then lets them make their own choice and pay the bill.

All I can say is that the routines are the same.

Vina also realized something was not right.But she couldn't think of any good way to refute it for a while.

After all, these two people are not in the same rank.

After reluctantly convincing Wei Na, Wei Yanwu breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he asked himself about his reasons so that others would not find any flaws, Wei Na's questioning alone was enough to put great pressure on him.

Longmen really cannot withstand the hatred of a giant beast... No city can withstand the hatred of a giant beast.

Although the publication of this book was strictly Ernst's personal request, it could not be called a diplomatic incident - the definition of diplomacy is activities between countries, at least between two political organizations.Such as sending envoys to each other, conducting negotiations, talks, etc. - but considering Ernst's identity, it was still a tense thing for him to realize his little actions.

But there was nothing Wei Yanwu could do.

If nothing was done, according to Ernst's idea, and the manuscript was sent out without modification, whether the book would be popular or not would be a trivial matter. Didn't Wei Yanwu become a subordinate under instructions?

Awe and respect were Wei Yanwu's attitude toward Ernst and Wei Na, but that didn't mean that Wei Yanwu was really cowardly and could be manipulated by others.

Heaving a sigh of relief, Wei Yanwu immediately came up with a backup plan to deal with Wei Na's dissatisfaction after noticing.

"Of course, there is no doubt about the brilliance of "Es". Such a magnificent blueprint for another world is what we all want to see. Longmen, whether it is me or Lin Gerui, as well as the editor-in-chief of Linquan Publishing House, We are very willing to strengthen cooperation with Mr. Ernst and become the designated publisher for the publication of this book."

"So, I hope Miss Weiner can consult Prime Minister Ernst about this proposal, and of course we will offer generous terms."

"Like today's unpleasantness in the Ancient Civilization chapter, we will ensure that it will not happen again in the future. We will discuss any publicity strategy with Ernst in advance. You can also select a representative to come to Longmen as " The resident consultant of "The Chronicles of the Kingdoms of Esth" at Longmen Publishing has the right to participate in all publishing processes and make suggestions."

"What about the royalties?" Wei Na asked the most critical question.

Wei Yanwu's smooth mouth was jammed by this sudden sentence, but he quickly adjusted:

"Of course, we will also provide the most generous treatment in terms of royalties."

"The first publication was due to our negligence, which made you dissatisfied. Therefore, this time, Linquan Publishing House voluntarily provided free of charge."

"As for the manuscript fee, how about 300 million Dragon Gate coins, plus [-]% of the sales?"

This is an unprecedented offer. In the past, Longmen had never heard of any author who could share the shares and buy out the shares.

Wei Yanwu dared to say this just for the sake of Ernst and Aslan.

Wei Na thought for a while, nodded and said:

"Seven percent means seventy percent. I will reply to Prime Minister Ernst based on this condition. I will ask him to decide on the specific situation."

Visible to the naked eye, the corners of Wei Yanwu's smiling mouth twitched, and he gritted his teeth and said:

"walk slowly!"

Chapter 96 The Duke of Cester in Victoria

A week goes by in a blink of an eye.

During this period of time, Ernst received a lot of letters from the outside world, and the entire Kjerag's trade and foreign exchanges became more frequent, which was almost impossible to happen in the past.

Among them was a letter sent by Wei Na from Longmen. Wei Yanwu's attitude was within Ernst's expectation. Although the deletion was still frowned upon, it generally didn't matter.Because the key part of the book "Us" has not yet been reached.

As for what he said about signing an exclusive contract with the publishing house, Ernst undoubtedly chose to refuse. The share and royalties can be discussed, but Erth's communication power and influence will not be simply limited to Longmen, but also to Dayan. , let alone accept Wei Yanwu’s restrictions.

What he wants to ensure is that more people can see this book, and for this, a little sacrifice is worth it.

Now the chapter on the Four Ancient Civilizations is just an introduction. Apart from the plate of dumplings that make money, the plate of vinegar that he really wants to dip his hands into has not been served yet.

Kjerag is lagging behind, and if he makes a wrong step, he may be doomed, but that doesn't mean that everyone in this world doesn't have the ability to practice another route.

No matter how sophisticated Wei Yanwu is, he has seen the risks that "Us" may bring, but if he can delete a book, can he block an idea?
