This director is so innocent.
Chapter 4: The Legend of Private Publishers
"Boss, are we getting ready to go all out?"
Huang Jiaqiang suppressed his excitement, looking intently at Su Jin with a face full of anticipation.
"Yes." Su Jin nodded with a smile.
He had long been dissatisfied with the atmosphere in the entertainment industry. In his previous life, he was a big critic, criticizing this and that, and even received a lawyer's letter.
Later, still angry, he wrote a novel about Chinese entertainment to vent his frustration. Now, no one has sent him a lawyer's letter!
Who knew it would flop? Not many people read it, but I still managed to write over 800,000 words.
If the book hadn't been banned later, it would have easily reached two million words.
Now that I've graduated and have more time, and with few novels to draw inspiration from, I'm determined to make a big splash and clean up the industry.
Huang Jiaqiang heard the answer he wanted and was overjoyed. "Boss, you know what? I've wanted to do this for a long time, but you've always stopped me."
"Old Huang, I really am sorry for what happened," Su Jin said apologetically.
Huang Jiaqiang is a very capable person; he rose to the position of deputy director at Xi'an Film Studio.
If it weren't for being burdened by family responsibilities, he would have been a deputy factory director by now.
Huang Jiaqiang initially looked down on Jianmu Media, a company with no reputation, no business, and no connections. It was Su Jin who lured him in, promising him all sorts of rosy promises.
After arriving, Huang Jiaqiang realized he had been scammed and wanted to leave. Su Jin persuaded him with reason and emotion, and even offered him a raise, which kept him there.
Then he went from a spirited middle-aged man to a greasy middle-aged man who drinks tea and reads newspapers.
"Boss, the past is the past. I'm doing well at the company. I won't talk about whether I've been right or wrong." Huang Jiaqiang waved his hand, looking completely unconcerned.
When your boss expresses apology, does he/she truly want to apologize?
No, it is not.
He's just trying to win people over; if you take it seriously, you're in trouble.
What positions are we looking to fill?
"For now, we'll have three positions: screenwriter, copywriter, and accountant. We'll be hiring five screenwriters, and three copywriters and three accountants."
Huang Jiaqiang nodded and asked, "Where's the agent? Don't we need one?"
"We don't have any artists right now, let's talk about it again when we do!"
He didn't want to set up an artist management department, but his company would definitely invest in developing many dramas in the future, and he felt it would be a loss if he didn't have any artists.
"Okay, I'll go get it done now." Huang Jiaqiang said, then got up and left.
Su Jin continued writing "Psychological Crime". Around 11:00 a.m., she finished her writing journey. There were still more than 10,000 words left. She would continue writing in the afternoon.
I stretched and went out to the Jianmu Culture store next door.
The person in charge of Jianmu Culture is Shen Haobo, a poet.
However, his poems are different from those of traditional poets; they are somewhat unique because they focus on the lower body.
Lower body poetry emphasizes the "physical" aspect of writing, that is, returning to simplicity and releasing a wild and authentic life force to present a primitive state of life.
He also has a highly influential reputation in the poetry world as a representative figure of avant-garde poetry.
Around the turn of the millennium, Shen Haobo, in order to become famous, or rather, to subvert the norm, led a group of people to launch a challenge against the upper-body poets.
To this end, they even founded a poetry magazine called "Lower Body".
If there is poetry about the lower body, then there is naturally poetry about the upper body.
Tradition, poetry, lyricism, philosophy, and reflection—all the things we learn from Tang and Song poetry belong to the category of the upper body.
The real, concrete, savage, and sexy aspects that are usually overlooked belong to the lower body.
The purpose of the Lower Body Poetry Movement is to eliminate upper body elements and pursue the authenticity of the lower body.
Those who are interested can search for Shen Hao's classic works; they are truly straightforward, surprisingly so.
In addition, Shen Haobo is also an outstanding private publishing businessman with exceptional foresight.
He successfully predicted four blockbuster novels in a row: "Youthful Days", "Those Things of the Ming Dynasty", "The Grave Robbers' Chronicles", and "Zhu Xian".
Su Jin originally wanted to copy "Those Things of the Ming Dynasty," but wait, cross that, it's more like borrowing. How can you call it copying when it's about scholars?
But after thinking about it, I decided against it and decided to leave Shiting a way out!
If it were copied, Shiting might not become Shiting at all.
Back to Shen Haobo, when he became famous, Shen Haobo approached him, wanting to sign him.
At that time, Shen Haobo was penniless, lacking both resources and connections.
Su Jin must have lost her mind to agree to that, and thus she ended up recruiting him instead.
They gave him 10% of the company's shares and managed his works for him.
Don't think it's too much.
First, Shen Haobo agreed to the takeover because he was interested in Ten's shares. Second, Shen Haobo is indeed a talented person, and Ten's shares are not many.
Of course, the copyrights to the book still belong to him.
……
QQ...
Su Jin knocked twice on Shen Haobo's office door as a sign of respect, then pushed the door open and entered.
Shen Haobo looked up and saw that the person who came was Su Jin. He stood up and said, "Boss, congratulations on graduating."
He used to call Su Jin by her full name, but there was a sycophant next door who called her that every day.
This would make it inappropriate for him to call Su Jin by her full name again.
Even when Su Jin insisted that he call her by her name, he refused.
The worst thing about everything is comparison; who knows if Su Jin will mind later?
If he minds and feels that I don't respect him, then I'm doomed.
After more than three years of development, Jianmu Culture has become an industry leader, and when it goes out to discuss cooperation, it talks with editors-in-chief and directors.
With Su Jin basically not involved in anything, he enjoyed immense success and reached the pinnacle of his life.
If you lose this position because of a title, you'll have nowhere to cry.
"Alright, don't be so polite with me." After Su Jin sat down, she placed a thick stack of A4 papers in front of Shen Haobo.
"This is my new book. Have someone proofread it, and once that's done, pick an auspicious day to release it!"
"The Longest Day in Chang'an." Shen Haobo murmured as he saw the title on the cover.
He turned the pages of the book, glanced at a few lines casually, and a look of surprise suddenly flashed in his eyes.
"Boss, you've really changed your mind?" Shen Haobo looked up at Su Jin in front of him, his tone filled with disbelief.
Su Jin smiled slightly and replied calmly, "Yes! Didn't I tell you before?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Haobo was taken aback at first, then remembered that Su Jin had indeed mentioned to him before that she wanted to change her career path.
They also said that youth novels are not a sustainable approach.
But he didn't take it seriously at the time, thinking that Su Jin was bragging, and that transformation was not so easy.
Many writers, after trying to change their writing style, have had their true colors exposed and have obediently gone back to writing about the subjects they are good at.
Who knew that Su Jin would bring over a novel that seemed to be undergoing a transformation today, and judging from his expression, he seemed quite confident.
Seeing that Shen Haobo remained silent, Su Jin continued, "You should also take a look at this book and see if there are any illogical points in it."
"Okay, I will study it carefully."
Shen Haobo decided to go back that night and take a good look at Su Jin's transformative work. If there were any problems, he would bring them up as soon as possible.
After all, Su Jin was too successful; she was the company's star, and he didn't want that golden brand to be tarnished.
If the content is not ideal, he will revise it if he can; if he cannot revise it, he will risk being fired to persuade Su Jin to give up publishing the novel.
Su Jin asked, "How's it going at seven o'clock?"
