Chapter five hundred and eighty seventh.

The famous writer Zhang Ailing once said, "Be famous as soon as possible."

Lin Yi felt that it seemed a bit late to become famous now. However, compared to many famous collectors, it seemed a bit earlier.

You should know that Ma Wei wrote the first book about collection in 1992 when he was in his forties - "Ma Weidu Talks about Tao"; Wang Shixiang only wrote "Ming Style Furniture Award" when he was in his sixties. Compared with these predecessors, Lin Yi, who is only 24 or 25 years old, is invited to publish a book, which seems to be a bit "early".

The female editor from Phoenix Media Publishing House was named Li, and she was named Li Shanshan. She was 28 years old this year and had been an editor for almost three years. Nowadays, traditional paper media books have been impacted by e-books on mobile phones and computers, and their sales volume is not as good as before. Therefore, many publishing houses have found some special topics to publish.

For example, the theme of tomb robbery last year was popular, and "Ghost Blows Out the Light" and "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" were released, and it turned out to be a big hit. Nowadays, there are more and more enthusiasts of old books, so some classic books have been published, such as "Handle Book City", "Forget the Book City", "Walk in the Book City", "Walk in the Book City at dusk", etc.; even some older books have been re-released and republished, including Zheng Zhenduo's "Xi Di Shu Talk", Tang Tao's "Hui'an Shu Talk", Chen Yuan's "Walk in the Book Forest". Unexpectedly, these books were praised after they were published.

The publishing house that tasted the sweetness is the "Shandong Pictorial". This publishing house became famous for its book talk and books, and signed contracts with famous book talk artists "Zhi'an", "Chen Zishan", "Jiang Deming" and "Xie Qizhang". These four people are hailed as the "Four Great Masters of Book talk" in the literary world today. You can imagine how much influence it has.

As the former "Jiangsu People's Publishing House", Phoenix Media Publishing House has developed rapidly in recent years, especially in paper media books, and has vaguely become a head starter for paper media. However, the books published by the publishing house are often criticized for not being of high quality or being crudely made because most of the published online literature and popular literature, and they do not have "high-end" works like Shandong Pictorial.

However, this time, Phoenix Media is planning to do a big thing, and the content is also about book talk--who makes book talk so popular now, and who to invite to write books becomes a big problem. At this time, Lin Yi appeared and became the headline figure in the front page of newspapers and magazines. His powerful splash of the screen made him very popular for a while and became a stolen figure in the Tibetan world.

Phoenix Media Company has a very keen sense of smell. It immediately thought of the most popular "celebrity effect" in the publishing industry. Any celebrity who publishes books basically achieves twice the result with half the effort and is very popular. In their opinion, Lin Yi is now such a person, and they have also touched Lin Yi's background. Lin Yi has done similar book talk programs before, and the program is still very popular.

Fame and talent are simply a good writer that is hard to find. What would happen if Lin Yi was asked to write books? With such a plan, Phoenix Media immediately formulated a plan to sign Lin Yi and transform him into a top book writer today.

Li Shanshan is the person in charge of this plan and the editor who signed Lin Yi. Although she knows a lot about Lin Yi, when she saw Lin Yi being so young, Li Shanshan was still a little suspicious. What kind of books could Lin Yi write... After all, not everyone is Han Han and Guo Jingming.

In fact, Lin Yi was really confused for a while about Phoenix Media signing a book deal for himself. But he made a decision: Why not do it? This is a good thing, and it is also his dream for many years. So after talking to Li Shanshan in detail, Lin Yi put down his psychological burden and promised her to do it seriously.

Li Shanshan originally thought that Lin Yi would decline reservedly like many scholars, and then get to the point, but she didn't expect that he was so straightforward. Many of the rhetoric he had planned were useless.

I originally thought that writing a book was very simple, but I didn't expect the process to be so complicated. Then Li Shanshan took out the contract to let Lin Yi see. Lin Yi had never taken over such a thing, but it didn't matter. He faxed it directly to Haitang. Who is Haitang? As a strong woman, he has experienced many contracts. After Haitang carefully reviewed it, he told Lin Yi what was not good for him, it needed to be carefully modified, what terms needed to be added, etc.

This contract was just a whole day, and then the writing plan formulated by Li Shanshan for Lin Yi. It was to write this work on the collection of old books according to the publishing requirements. The name was also formulated by the publishing house, called "Tao Shu Notes".

Seeing this name, Lin Yi couldn't help but think of the folk "Tao Shu Notes" she had read, and felt very friendly. Li Shanshan told Lin Yi that all best-selling books are popular in "notes", such as "Grave Robbers' Notes", "Shanju Notes", etc. The mode of writing books into notes can make people feel very real and improve people's snooping.

In this regard, Lin Yi is not an expert. Since what he says is what he says, as long as the content he writes is his favorite Taoshu story, then everything is OK.

According to the requirements of the publisher, Lin Yi first wrote about a thousand words of work outline and handed it to Li Shanshan, asking her to take it back to the publishing company for "review". In fact, this is just a form of things. According to Li Shanshan's words, you can write it now, and it is best to be faster, because their company will hold a large-scale "new book promotion meeting" after the New Year, and then try to get him a place to promote new books. You must know that new books that can be promoted by Phoenix Media are basically new books by famous writers or best-selling writers, and Lin Yi is likely to be the only new writer.

Lin Yi didn't care whether the book he wrote could be recommended. After all, this thing had not been written yet. What he had to do now is to avoid those super annoying media reporters while sorting out his ideas and finding a quiet place to start writing books.

But now during the Chinese New Year, there is no quiet place. Not only that, he also received dozens of calls to ask him to go home early. Thinking about it, it has been almost a month since he came to Beijing without realizing it. Even the migrant uncle has returned during the Chinese New Year, so he has no worries to stay here.

Therefore, Lin Yi booked a flight ticket and flew back to Nandu with Lao Cao and coach Huang.

The media reporters who were still preparing to interview him might as well be this. When they rushed into the hotel, the legendary property that became popular overnight in the capital had left.
