Chapter 118: A Deadly Plot
From the quiet and peaceful Phoenix back to the lively Star City, Qin Chuan actually had the feeling of crossing again.
This contrast made him a little trance-like.
Star City after the holiday was extremely crowded, and their family had a kind of long holiday syndrome.
They all collapsed on the sofa, and their suitcases were reluctant to be organized, which was surprisingly consistent.
Qin Chuan obviously didn't do anything, but he felt that all kinds of big things had been accomplished throughout the Spring Festival.
"Zhu Xian" has ended.
The preparations for "Dragons" are going very well.
However, some people didn't want him to lie down and rest.
On the micro chat, Lai Feiyu of the open-book publishing company sent a knocking emoji, "Mr. Qin, has your "Zhu Xian" been completed? We are ready to step up the review and proofreading of this set of books, hoping to be released soon." ”
"Look at my memory! I'm going to send it right away, I'm done. ”
Qin Chuan completely forgot to send the manuscript of "Zhu Xian" to the open book publishing company, and they had already started work yesterday.
He had to struggle from the couch.
Back in his bedroom, Qin Chuan sent the documents in the computer.
……
"How is it, has he finished writing?" asked Lu Manqing, the boss of the Open Book Publishing Company, with concern.
Lai Feiyu nodded again and again, "He sent it to the mailbox." I just got a reminder. ”
"Then hurry up and send it to my colleagues, everyone's first work after the New Year begins, make sure that the finale of "Zhu Xian" works well, I hope these two books can hit a new high in sales. ”
Although Lu Manqing has Qin Chuan's contact information, it is not yet time for her to personally urge the draft.
"Zhuxian 1" and "Zhuxian 2" sold quite well during the Spring Festival, and many reminders were piled up in the company.
This could not have happened half a year ago!
Usually, the open-book salesman keeps calling the distributor and the person in charge of the chain bookstore or even visiting the house, but he can't sell much.
In order to be able to sign Qin Chuan's novel, the company gave up a lot of benefits, and now I like it very much.
"People Grow and Hate Water Changdong" is selling steadily, and wait for the "Yang Jian" movie to start publicity, and then it can naturally take off.
And "Zhu Xian" is getting more and more concerned, and at its peak, it once rushed to the top of the classified sales weekly list.
The popularity of the Internet continues to guide the physical book.
And the physical book is also feeding back to Huayue.com, and the two complement each other.
Before the Chinese New Year, when Qin Chuan clarified the relevant content of the Great God Contract, he previewed the finale of "Zhu Xian" to the public.
Since then, the official blog of the open book publishing company has been attracting the attention and urging of fans.
There are always people asking when it will be released!
Even many readers who abandon a book halfway through will wonder what will happen in the end of the story.
After Lu Manqing assigned the work, he carried his bag and prepared to go to the beauty salon with his friends.
And a small staff like Lai Feiyu can obviously only complete 996 in the office.
"Let's read the novel first, there should be nothing wrong with Qin Chuan's book. ”
Many people think that in addition to editing, the publishing company is also an artist and operator.
Editors are divided into many categories, for example, Lai Feiyu belongs to planning editors.
Whether the author submits a manuscript to a publishing company, or the publishing company takes the initiative to request a manuscript, the first editor the author contacts is basically the planning editor.
This type of editor is mainly responsible for communicating with the author about the theme and framework of the book, just like the product manager of the Internet and the project manager of the physical field.
The person who is actually responsible for the manuscript is called the responsible editor, and he also has a nickname called the backstabber!
As the name suggests, a responsible editor is someone who is responsible for the quality of the manuscript in this book.
This position is not something you can do if you want to, you must obtain an intermediate certificate of professional qualification in publishing to hold it.
The editor in charge is responsible for the quality of the book, not only for errors in the text of the novel, but also for the cover, author's signature, contract, and other relevant information.
There are also copy editors who specialize in the content of the novel.
Lai Feiyu doesn't actually need to pick every word, he is actually the one who controls the overall process.
Therefore, the manuscript of Qin Chuan's "Zhu Xian" will be sent to the rest of the people, and the rest of them will first check the text error rate.
According to the publishing treaty, a book with an error rate of less than 1 in 10,000 is qualified.
This 1/10,000 means that the review is limited to 100,000 words, and there can be only 10 typos at most.
If there are too many, it will not be qualified, and there must be a back-handed man to stand up!
A thousand authors can write a thousand manuscripts of different styles, such as "Zhu Xian", and all editors will rush to see them.
Other history or science and technology majors are so difficult that editors can only ask a special person to read the book together.
At the moment, in the editorial department of the open book publishing company, whether the employees in charge of this publication or not, are doing the same thing.
That's reading novels!
The original manuscripts that are coveted by outside readers can be read here.
Lai Feiyu read the novel seriously, he knew that the follow-up plot would definitely be quite good, but he didn't expect it to be so exciting!
Zhang Xiaofan was enlightened by Zhou Zhou Xian, came out of the pain, and at the same time got the last way to rescue Baguio, so he went to Tianyin Temple to borrow the reincarnation of Qiankun and bring it back to Huqi Mountain.
The Four Spirits Blood Array even failed!
Mr. Ghost uses the Qiankun Reincarnation Disk to lift the Qiankun lock and let Shura come.
What surprised Lai Feiyu even more was that Baguio's body was gone!
A large stone in the cold stone chamber revealed a corner of green clothes, and near the corners of the clothes were many strange footprints.
"Who took Baguio's body away?"
"Is it really the same as Zhang Xiaofan's guess, for the magic weapon of Hehuan Bell?"
"Suddenly a little myocardial infarction, who has a heart saver!"
"Could it be that Baguio was resurrected and ran out by himself. ”
"Absolutely. Does Qin Chuan really not want Baguio to be resurrected?"
"Devil, such torture of a character who has died. Readers should have a lot of opinions. ”
"I suspect that Qin Chuan really has a bad taste. The previous book repeatedly tortured Yang Jian, and this book tortured the male advocate Xiaofan by constantly torturing Baguio, in the final analysis, it is poking the reader's heart. ”
The discussion in the editorial department gradually sounded, and they were impressed by Qin Chuan's ability to grasp people's hearts and plots.
I really don't let go of the last bit of Baguio's value, and I want to squeeze it to my heart's content!
In the early stage, she was a dazzling heroine, and she died in the middle of blocking the sword, and in the later stage, she was hovering between resurrection and resurrection.
Although she has been lying on the cold stone platform, she is indeed the main plot throughout the whole text, and even indispensable.
It's no wonder that her fans have the confidence to compete for the position of heroine.
If all the plots of Lu Xueqi are deleted, although the overall novel of "Zhu Xian" will lose a lot of color, the story is still the same story.
If Baguio is deleted completely, then "Zhu Xian" will be another novel entirely!
In order to cheer up Ghost Li, the Nine-Tailed Sky Fox Xiaobai had to take him to Qingyun Back Mountain, and even went to inform Lu Xueqi specifically.
These female characters make Lai Feiyu feel vivid and likable.
The description of the three-eyed monkey Gray and Rhubarb is also very popular with readers, and some people even paint portraits according to the description of the novel on Weibo.
"It's normal for this book to become popular, it's really well written!"
Lai Feiyu thought silently, "It's just that the abuse has been abused until the end, and readers can't wait for a reunion!"
