Chapter 015 A Manuscript
With a passion, Wang Conglun returned to the newly listed martial arts version editorial department. The editors in the editorial department were all young people, but with infinite enthusiasm, they devoted themselves to the work of proofreading the martial arts novels.
"Xiao Li, how many contributions have you received today?" Wang Conglun patted Li Qiuyu who was writing.
Li Qiuyu is a very poetic name, but in fact his real name is Li Jianguo. Li Qiuyu is just a pseudonym for editors. The martial arts version editorial department, of course, has to go through the martial arts style. The editors here basically use pseudonyms. For example, Dugu Iran, Huruji, Biwan Pillow, Chu Tianluo, Ren Yuqiao, Mo Shubai, etc.
"Boss, I haven't got the letter yet." Li Qiuyu raised her head, looking very much like Zhu Bajie, and it doesn't match the name Li Qiuyu at all.
"Then go and get it now, and after review, send it to my office."
After instructing Li Qiuyu, Wang Conglun asked several other editors about the work of proofreading.
Dugu Iran put his button glasses on and said, "Boss, we have received some quality manuscripts. Xiao Luo's "Heroes of Troubled Times", Yang Qu's "The Plum Shadow Burys the Incense" are all very good, as well as Ye Run's "Love and Revenge of Qingmei" and Yi Qian's "The Legend of New Weapons". There are also several famous Hong Kong and Taiwan masters, and we have also made an appointment for manuscripts. Wo Longsheng and Zhuge Qingyun both agreed to publish their new works in our "Martial Arts Edition".
"Let's do this. The test issue number depends on the standard. Quality is the most important. But we must also raise the banner of our local martial arts. Let's arrange three novellas, well, for two newcomers, and the remaining one for famous artists. We will brainstorm later to discuss which three to choose."
After sending the editors, Wang Conglun returned to his office.
The desk was a little messy, with many manuscripts placed, which were all submissions sent from all over the country. Many were voluntarily arranged by the editorial department. The targets of the manuscript were writers who mingled under the banyan tree, Tianya Forum, Dragon Space and other places. In 2001, the development of popular literature showed signs of rising, but it was still chaotic.
There is no strong development platform to give those who have literary dreams.
Therefore, I received the news that "The Legend of the Contemporary and Modern Martial Arts Edition" was about to be launched, and there were many people coming to contribute, but the quality is really not satisfactory.
There are four unaudited manuscripts on the table. Although he learned from his subordinates that the quality of these four manuscripts is not high, he still has to read them in person.
This is the homework he must do as an editor-in-chief.
Of course, Wang Conglun also likes reading very much. He discovered potential martial arts writers from the vast texts, which made him very excited.
""Blade World"? The name is domineering... Is this really good when I appear in a brothel?... Isn't it true that Xiao Huangwen is fine, her writing style is really unsightly, and she doesn't have any excitement at all. How could she choose you?"
After reading the first manuscript, Wang Conglun sighed, the quality was too poor.
Then he opened the second letter and then the third letter.
After reading the three letters, he sighed three times.
"The quality is really poor. Without any literary foundation, how can you write a good martial arts?"
Thinking of this, Wang Conglun picked up the last envelope.
The last article still made him sigh, and it was written like shit.
Annoying, boring.
Wang Conglun simply got up and left the office, preparing to go to the lounge outside to smoke a cigarette and change his mind. This is not good for editors, and he always forced himself to read some manuscripts that he couldn't swallow. It was like trying poison, and he would die if he accidentally got poison.
But he could only laugh at himself: "In ancient times, Shennong tasted hundreds of herbs, but now, I, Wang Conglun, read hundreds of manuscripts, and I, could not make a name for myself in history in the future."
Li Qiuyu, who was smoking a cigarette and going to pick up the manuscript, came back.
"Boss, these are only these two letters sent to our martial arts editorial department." Li Qiuyu shook two yellow envelopes in her hand.
"Is there only two letters? It's a little less... Forget it, you can review it first and show it to me later."
"By the way, boss, when I went to pick up the manuscript just now, I saw the story version editorial department, and was circulating a manuscript. Many people praised it. It seemed to be a martial arts manuscript. I wanted to come, but they did not give it to me."
"Is there any martial arts manuscript?"
"right."
"Okay, you go and do it first, I'll go there." Wang Conglun didn't care about smoking, swallowed most of the pieces in one gulp, wiped out the cigarette butts, and quickly walked towards the editorial department of the story.
"Legend of the Contemporary and Ancient" was founded in 1981 and was founded by three folk artists. A few years later, it became the number one in the country's literary journal circulation. By 1999, it became popular all over China with the series of ten marshals and ten generals, and became the overlord of popular literary journals.
Last September, "Legend of the Ancient and Modern" released "Legend of the Ancient and Modern Legends·Stories Edition", which was a great success. This year's circulation has reached a monthly circulation of over 250,000 copies, becoming a myth in the magazine industry.
The success of the story version is before, and the founding of "Legend of the Ancient and Ancient Martial Arts Edition" is natural, but for Wang Conglun, "Story Edition" is a template and a pressure, for fear that "Martial Arts Edition" will not be able to achieve the results of "Story Edition". Now that he has heard that "Story Edition" has received good martial arts manuscripts, he certainly cannot let it go.
"Story Edition" used to publish martial arts works, but now "Martial Arts Edition" has come out, and martial arts works must be mainly "Martial Arts Edition"!
With this idea, Wang Conglun rushed into the story version editorial department.
...
"Where are the martial arts manuscripts? Where are the martial arts manuscripts?" After Wang Conglun entered the door, he started yelling with the editor-in-chief of the story version.
The editor-in-chief of the story page glanced at Wang Conglun: "You are not busy with your martial arts version editorial department, why are you going to work here?"
"I'll find the manuscript."
"What manuscript to find?"
"Don't pretend to be confused with me, the manuscript of martial arts novels."
"What kind of martial arts manuscript is asked for when I want? You are the "Martial Arts Edition".
Wang Conglun was angry: "Lao Zhang, don't cover me anymore. I know that you have received a good quality martial arts manuscript, so take it out. You also know that our "Martial Arts Version" is newly created and we need good works to support it. We work together, and you can't hide your own personal information."
"Xiao Wang, it's wrong for you to say this. Each company manages its own manuscripts. If someone submits it to our "Story Edition", it means that we have the priority choice." The editor-in-chief of the story version was Zhang, and his name was Zhang Yiyuan, and he said that he was relying on his seniority.
"You can't say that..."
"It's not what you said..."
The two editors shouted at each other in the office for a while, and finally laughed.
There is not much involvement between the story and the martial arts version. They are both sub-blogs of "Legend of the Ancient and Modern". Although they compete with each other, many editors of the martial arts version are diverted from the story version, and the incense is incense. Just kidding, the editor-in-chief of the story version finally asked someone to bring the manuscript over.
"This article is well written, but it's a bit short, you can take a look."
With great expectations, Wang Conglun took over the manuscript that had been reinstalled in the envelope.
Before disassembling it, Wang Conglun then checked the mailing address on the envelope - Zhang Tan, Class 15, High School, Shuangdun Middle School, Changfeng County, Hefei Mayor, Anwei Province.
"A high school student? A high school student also writes martial arts! Alas!" Wang Conglun's original expectation quickly became cold. It was not that he looked down on high school students, but that high school students did not even have social experience. How could they write good communication between people?
On the spot, Wang Conglun was a little suspicious whether this was a story-based editorial department who deliberately created a farce to tease him.
But thinking about it, they were not so bored, Wang Conglun patiently opened the envelope and took out the letter paper.
On the red striped letter paper, there are black and white words on the white and black, each stroke is vigorous and powerful, and it is very pleasing to the eye.
Wang Conglun's eyes lit up and he commented unconsciously: "Just because of this pen hand, it is worth reading."
Chapter completed!
