The night passed.
In the Palace Museum, Wang Yong and others are celebrating.
Originally, according to the schedule, after the first trial of the draft of the canon of Chinese studies, we had to conduct the second and third trial, and revise and correct the mistakes and omissions.
But unexpectedly, after the first trial of Wang Yong, Chiba Zhenxi and others, there was no mistake in the first draft!
At first, Wang Yong didn't believe it. He read it again from beginning to end. Then he got up excitedly and yelled: "once again! We have created a miracle! Who would have thought that compiling such a book could make the first draft without mistakes? Bull
"Great
"Great
A group of scholars also said happily, they were shocked by themselves.
After going through the draft over and over again, it proves from the side that the members of the editorial board are serious and hardworking. For them, this is the biggest praise for their hard work during this period.
"I declare that the canon of traditional Chinese learning is officially finalized today, and it will be finished." Wang Yong stood in the middle of the office, in a high voice.
The scholars clapped.
"Here is what you want, teacher." At this time, Li Hongwei ran into the room and handed some things to Wang Yong.
They looked at it curiously, but saw Wang Yong holding a brush, a knife and a bamboo board.
"When other people finish making movies, there is a ceremony to kill the young people. First, we are short of money. Second, we are not suitable for large-scale activities. So it's a simple ceremony to kill the green. " Wang Yong explained.
With that, Wang Yong laid the bamboo board the same size as the keyboard on the table.
The bamboo board was also covered with emerald green skin. Wang Yong dipped in thick ink and solemnly wrote four words on the green skin.
Chinese classics.
Then he picked up the knife and hissed. The blade cut through the green skin exactly, just like the apple skin, and cut off the green skin of the whole bamboo board.
This is the original meaning of shaqing.
In ancient times, people wrote the handwriting on bamboo slips, because the green skin of bamboo slips is very smooth. If you make a mistake or write something wrong, just move your finger and wipe it away, which is very convenient.
The first draft is written on the green skin.
Only after the modification is completed and the bamboo slips are confirmed to be perfect, will the green skin be cut off to reveal the white core of the bamboo slips. At this time, if you write on the bamboo slips again, the ink will penetrate into the bamboo core and cannot be changed, even if it is officially finalized.
This is the process of peeling off the green skin of bamboo slips.
The room is full of famous scholars, and Wang Yong's action doesn't need to be explained at all.
When they saw the green skin with the four words of "the canon of Chinese culture" fall to the ground, they felt relieved as if they had fulfilled a long cherished wish.
"Next, please write your name on it, as a souvenir for our compilation team." Wang Yongdao.
"Teacher Chiba, come first Liu gaizhi Chong Chiba Zhenxi road.
Chiba Zhenxi shook his head: "I don't dare to take credit. I think the first name should be Mr. Li Zaixian."
Li Zaixian also waved his hand: "I just did some minor work. How dare I write first? I'm tired of looking after my teacher. I'm the oldest one in our group. I should have come first. "
Gu Zhongde said: "there are specialties in the field of Arts, and there are priorities in the field of learning.". Just because I'm a little older doesn't mean I'll be able to take the lead... Change people, change people... "
A group of scholars refused to be the first to write.
Everyone knows that the first signer is the most important and plays a leading role. What others see at first sight is this person.
Although many people present think that they are barely qualified to sign the first signature, how dare they say so?
So there was a scene of mutual humility. A few minutes later, no decision was made.
"How about some teachers?" At this time, it was proposed.
"Well, it works. If we are more modest, I'm afraid we won't be able to finish the signature in the dark. How many teachers, together Chiba Zhenxi asked.
Li Zaixian, Gu Zhongde and Liu gaizhi nodded and stepped forward.
Just just lift foot, all stunned Leng in situ.
Because on the bamboo slips, there is an extra name!
Wang Yong!
Unexpectedly, no one noticed that Wang Yong was the first to write down his name in front of everyone!
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Wang Yong could not help saying, "I'm afraid you'll be humble until dark, so I'll have to sacrifice once to be the first bird. No matter you want to beat me or scold me, come on, I can bear it
"..." the muscles on several faces of Chiba Zhenxi were twitching and helpless.
As the editor in chief of Guoxue Zhengdian, Wang Yong's first signature has no problem in theory.
But don't Wang Yong know how to be modest? These scholars here, not to mention their reputation, just their age, can be his grandfather if they come out, OK?
If this bastard were his own grandson, he would have been killed long ago!
A group of scholars thought angrily, but they had no scruples. They came forward one after another and wrote down their names on the bamboo board.
The ink infiltrates into the bamboo core and penetrates into the wood. Unless it is destroyed, the signature on the bamboo board will not be destroyed.
Dozens of members of the editorial board signed their names one by one.
The whole bamboo board is full of people's names, which is put together with the thick manuscript of the canon of Chinese culture, giving people a strong sense of cultural dignity.
"I can't believe it's over." Chiba looked at the bamboo board and the manuscript paper and sighed.
"Yes, although very tired and hard, these days are really pure days. I'm afraid there won't be such an opportunity in the future... "Li Zaixian said with emotion.
"In fact, it's not officially finished. Don't forget our previous ambition, but we still want to publish the English version." Gu Zhongde reminds a way.
"English version? It seems that I'm going to stay here for a few more days. I don't know whether I should thank old Gu or hate him... "Liu gaizhi joked.
The crowd roared with laughter.
In fact, whether it's the Oriental version, the South Korean version or the English version, the main thing to do is to translate the language.
At most, one or two people who are proficient in the language of this version will be left to control the translation scale and value orientation.
It doesn't take many people to do this job, but all of them volunteered to stay. Obviously, everyone is used to it and enjoys the pure academic atmosphere.
It's just that other people can enjoy the atmosphere, but Wang Yong can't.
Wang Yong also had to be responsible for the follow-up publicity of the classics of Chinese studies.
"Hello, Qian Xiaozheng, what's the matter with you?" Wang Yong goes to the door and calls Qian Xiaozheng.
"Can you rest assured that I can do business? It's all right! A publishing house in Yanjing is willing to cooperate with us in publishing, and the final revenue will be 30% to 70%
Wang Yong frowned: "co publishing? I thought I could at least plan a book publishing quota! It's too insincere, isn't it? "
Cooperative publishing is a publishing form of publishing house. Generally, the author of the book bears the cost of design, production and printing, and then the publishing house is responsible for the market operation and distribution of the book, and the final income is half.
In other words, Wang Yong had to pay a sum of money to publish the classic.
The form of publishing without paying is what Wang Yong said. This kind of publishing form is selected by the publishing house itself. It thinks that a book has a good market prospect, so it negotiates with the author to buy out, pays the author's contribution fee, and also gives a certain sales share.
I didn't expect that Sinology Canon didn't even get the treatment it planned to publish.
Hearing Wang Yong's Tucao, Qian Xiao Zheng also make complaints about his brother's wife. In general, the score of cooperative publishing is 50-50. If people are willing to take only 30%, they will prove their sincerity. Besides, we have no choice at all. Because this is the only publishing house in Yanjing willing to publish our books! "
"What?" Wang Yong was stunned.
Then understand, it must be Zhou Daoli and others behind the ghost!
This group of people formed a monopoly circle in Yanjing and almost controlled the whole cultural channel of Yanjing. The publishing industry is obviously their sphere of influence. Even if some publishers are optimistic about Wang Yong's book, they dare not offend Zhou Daoli and cooperate with Wang Yong.
The publishing house that Qian Xiaozheng talked about is not large in scale and not good in efficiency. It belongs to the category of broken pot, and I don't care if I don't offend Zhou Daoli.
The sales volume of Guoxue Zhengdian is not good. They are just the difference between closing down one day earlier and closing down one day later《 If the sales volume of the classic of Chinese Studies goes up, they will come back from the dead. What else do you care about? Zhou Daoli won't give them a sum of money to keep them alive.
So the Publishing House finally decided to cooperate with Wang Yong and make a bet.
If you bet right, one person will be promoted to heaven; If you're wrong, close early.
In this case, the form of cooperative publishing seems not so difficult for Wang Yong to accept.
Others even bet on the fate of the publishing house. It can be said that they support Wang Yong. What else does Wang Yong want?
"I get it. It's just them! I will send the manuscript to you as soon as possible. This time, it's a war against the current. If you can't get up, you can only be pushed down the cliff by the current. But I'm confident that I'll give Zhou Daoli a loud slap in the face, and their good days will come to an end. " Wang Yong's determined way.
"Hey, hey, follow you. I'm confident." Qian Xiaozheng smiles“ By the way, I've won you a publicity opportunity. Do you want to come? "
"What chance?"
"I talked to the person in charge of our live broadcast website. As an emerging industry, live broadcast website has not been penetrated by those in the traditional academic circle. The person in charge of our website also likes you very much and agrees to make a free promotion for you. If you agree, come to Yanjing tomorrow and do an interview in my live studio. " Qian Xiaozheng said.
Wang Yong pondered slightly and immediately nodded: "yes. Network promotion is also an important part of propaganda. Thank you for me. By the way, I just sent the manuscript of the classics of Chinese studies to the publishing house. "
Wang Yong makes an appointment with Qian Xiaozheng and hangs up.
The battlefield on one side is over, but the battlefield on the other side has just opened.
Whether the canon of Sinology can become an influential classic depends on who wins the next war.
