761 Good News From Others, My Desire (3/4)
Not only Guo Ziyi, the people who want to become stronger as soon as possible, but also Yu Ying, who insists on coming to Sahara Publishing House to attend classes every Friday.
Yu Ying, who received 50,000 yuan in support, seems to have not changed much in her life. Except for her residence, she moved out of the dark and crowded urban village and took her family to live in an ordinary, quiet and beautiful old-fashioned community.
This is a welfare housing community of a state-owned enterprise that has been built for more than 20 years. Yu Ying rented a house from an old employee who has moved out. Although it is still a staircase house and two bedrooms and one living room, compared to the urban village where she lived before, the house is much more spacious now, with bright windows and clean windows, and breathable, making it more comfortable and warm!
However, Yu Ying continued to work in a hotel, and she did not dare to quit her job and concentrate on writing.
Yes, she didn't have the courage to burn her boat, but this was beyond reproach. After all, she still had the responsibility to raise her daughter. How dare she cut off her only source of income before she had a new stable income?
Of course, it is still very hard to work and write, not to mention that Yu Ying is engaged in the catering service industry and works for a long time. But Yu Ying still persists. Moreover, she still insists on coming to Sahara Publishing House to attend classes every Friday, which is ten times more harder than when she was a student.
Working hard to become stronger, Yu Ying is to earn a better future for her family!
...
On the third Friday of May, Yu Ying came to Sahara Press again.
However, today the Sahara Publishing House was a little lively. There were banners and decorations at the door. Some people like journalists gathered, taking photos or chatting, walking inside in groups of three or three.
"The "I... Have a Dream" Sahara Publishing House Children's Book Author Support Fund...The first press conference for supporting publications!" Yu Ying read the content of the banner gently. (Note 1)
A familiar voice came from beside him: "Donnell."
"Wen Editor." Yu Ying turned around and found out that it was his editor-in-chief Wen Xuefeng. He happened to be receiving the reporter at the door, "What did you say?"
Wen Xuefeng smiled and said, "Donnell, the protagonist of today's press conference, is like you, a new author supported by the Support Fund and a father. His book was published today because it was the first work completed and published by the Support Fund, so the publishing house arranged a more grand press conference for him."
I have to say, this is a very lucky guy!
"So quickly? His book has been published?" Yu Ying was a little surprised. Her manuscript was very slow, so she wrote the third story.
Of course, this is also because she treated her works with great excellence according to Editor Lu’s advice. For example, every time she finished class at Sahara Publishing House, she would constantly modify or even rewrite the previous manuscript based on the new insights she had gained until she was satisfied.
"Don't worry, you are different from Donnel." Wen Xuefeng comforted, "Donnel wrote a short story, and he is also a painter himself, so he publishes books faster. You write a long story, which of course takes longer to create."
Wen Xuefeng said something wrong. Donnel is not a painter. He is just a student who graduated from the art major. He was even more down and poor than Yu Ying before he encountered the support fund. He could only rely on painting portraits for people in the square to earn some milk powder for his children.
The Sahara Publishing House gave him a chance to change, not only giving him a support fund to give him a place to live, but also taught him how to change the original style of painting and cater to the children's preferences. Of course, Donnel also made efforts to create the current picture book publishing.
This is a very inspiring story and will definitely be reported by many media tomorrow.
However, people not only need inspirational stories, but also need to face reality.
Yu Ying asked Wen Xuefeng realistically: "How much money can he earn after his book is published?"
"How can I know? It depends on how much he can sell!" Wen Xuefeng and Yu Ying walked into the publishing house and smiled and said in a low voice, "But, I guess it won't be too bad. The marketing department conducted a survey before. The market department said that the market is a big market. You think Mr. Yang is the first fairy tale collection. It has been published for more than a year. Now he still has millions of after-tax income every month. Donnel is not as good as Mr. Yang, but he can earn at least hundreds of thousands, millions, right?"
Even if a book earns so much in total, it will completely change Donnel's life!
"So much?" Yu Ying's eyes glared in surprise after hearing this.
"Yes, so, write a book well! Meeting Sahara Publishing House and Mr. Yang is an opportunity that others can't dream of." Wen Xuefeng suddenly thrust his mouth and signaled Yu Ying to look at the other side.
Yu Ying looked over and saw that at the gate of the largest conference hall of the Sahara Publishing House, Editor-in-Chief Lu and several senior executives of the publishing house were surrounding Yang Yi, while Yang Yi and a man were shook hands with a smile.
"That's Donnel." Wen Xuefeng sighed. "I'm very lucky that the first author of the book was published. Because he was the first, the publisher's publicity would be more grand. In the future, the authors and published books may not have such grand press conferences. At most, some authors who sell better books will be invited to attend some events or signing meetings."
Yu Ying didn't care about these false things. She saw Yang Yi shook hands with the other party, and after saying a few words, she left from behind with a bag.
"Have the press conference not started yet? Why did President Yang leave?" Yu Ying asked Wen Xuefeng in confusion, "Don't he attend the press conference?"
"If you don't participate, Mr. Lu invited Mr. Yang, but Mr. Yang said that Donnel was the protagonist today, and he would not be able to win the lead." Wen Xuefeng said.
That's true. Yang Yi is so famous that if he appears at the press conference, he will definitely steal most of the limelight, and the person asked by the reporters will undoubtedly fall on him.
"Then why did Mr. Yang come?" Yu Ying asked in confusion.
"He came to meet Donnel and gave some encouragement to the new author Donnel. This was Mr. Lu's request. Unexpectedly, Mr. Yang was so busy, so he took the time to come over."
Wen Xuefeng sighed: "So I said that it is an opportunity that many people can't dream of when you meet Sahara Publishing House and Mr. Yang. Mr. Yang has a great family and looks down on this little money. Therefore, our publishing house treats the author the most generously and has a complete industrial chain, which can help the authors develop their works best! Even if you are not good at painting like Donnel, the publishing house has dozens of painters who can help you make picture books."
Although after chatting with Wen Xuefeng, Yu Ying still went to the free training class held by the publishing house every Friday to attend the class, but she couldn't calm down for a long time.
Yu Ying's mind kept coming to Donnel's excited smile outside the conference hall just now and his face was full of redness.
"I can succeed like him!" A new desire rose in Yu Ying's heart. This was the second "why writing" flame that she ignited in addition to her initial demand for money.
Of course, money is still the most important thing!
Publishing a book may make hundreds of thousands or millions, so that she will no longer worry about not having an income, she can quit her job, write well at home, and be able to better accompany her daughter.
Chapter completed!
