Chapter 342: Magazine

Yes, even the eldest prince of Yun has no way, then this road is bound to be a dead end, and everyone sighed silently.

Slowly, the venue began to talk about it again, and just when everyone was arguing and Yun Shen felt that his brain was about to explode, the little secretary who had been standing outside as an audience pushed open the door and walked in.

All eyes were on her......

"Mr. Yun, I'm ...... I think...... Why don't we publish it first, I've read this book, it's interesting even as a plot, and if it sells well, the fame will naturally go out. ”

"Publishing? Even if it is published, who will buy a book that is not famous, and even if someone buys it, it is just an iron powder of scrambled eggs with leeks, and it will not have much publicity effect in society." ”

As soon as the little secretary finished speaking, a middle-aged man immediately raised objections.

Yun Shen frowned and looked at his secretary, the little secretary was a little nervous and cramped, swallowed saliva, and her cheeks were blushing, she was just a college student who had not yet graduated, and she had never experienced such an important meeting, so it took a long time to force herself to calm down, and then say her complete thoughts.

"Mr. Yun, I think this book is more substantial, or it will be published first, and by the way, I will ask someone to send it to participate in the science fiction circle award, as long as I can win the award, it will be much easier to find any Weibo big V to promote it at that time.

I've checked, domestic science fiction has always been a weakness, as long as this book can win awards, it will definitely cause a sensation, and it will also harvest some science fiction fans by the way. ”

After listening, everyone looked at each other, and then nodded their heads.

"That's a good idea!"

"It's really easier to break through from the breakthrough of science fiction awards. ”

"When the time comes, it's enough to just get some gimmicks, and it's easier for us to do publicity later, yes, I agree. ”

……

With the capital of the Yun family, it was not too easy to do this, so soon, everyone began to think in their minds that this plan was not too perfect, but there was really no choice.

……

A day later, in the editorial department of Huaxia Science Fiction Magazine, the clock on the east wall of the office area pointed to six o'clock, and everyone stretched and yawned almost at the same time.

"Hah...... After work, when a monk hits the clock for a day, I finally survived another day, and there is still one day until Saturday, come on!"

"Enjoy it, I'm going to be screened for the Pegasus Awards from tomorrow, and I'm probably going to be so busy that I'm vomiting blood......"

"It's going to be busy, but I'm looking forward to it, I haven't read a few manuscripts in a year. ”

……

All the editors were packing up their things and preparing to get off work, while chatting boringly, but at this time, the editor-in-chief Lei Zhi walked briskly from the office to the office area with a gloomy face.

After glancing around, everyone immediately sat down at their workstations obediently and quietly, and no longer dared to show a sleepy expression at will.

Science fiction has bloomed bright flowers abroad, but in China, it seems to be malnourished like water and soil, although there are also engaged in science fiction creation in China, but first, there are very few such people, and second, the audience of this kind of work is relatively small, and the commercial value is not high.

So over time, science fiction has almost become an endangered protected animal in the classification.

Nineteen years ago, there was a UFO news abroad, and after it spread to China, it caught fire, and everyone was talking about aliens.

Lei Zhi still remembers that all the science fiction magazines hoarded by the magazine at that time were almost snatched up, and their performance at that time almost surpassed the top domestic magazines.

That's really a scenery......

However, soon, in just three or five years, domestic science fiction was completely cool, and a large number of 'science fiction enthusiast associations', 'science fiction news sections', 'science fiction forums', as well as various magazines and editorial offices, were all disbanded and closed.

Up to now, there is only one domestic science fiction magazine publishing house, even so, not because they are doing well, but because of the subsidies of relevant units and the funding of some science fiction enthusiasts.

In this magazine, the expenses have been reduced as much as possible, except for the editor-in-chief and the four editors, there are no more staff, there are no security guards, and there is no cleaning!!

"One thing to inform, this year's Tianma Award manuscript screening work is ahead of schedule, everyone work hard, and hurry to eight o'clock tomorrow morning to hand in the manuscripts you have selected. ”

After speaking, the editor-in-chief, Lei Zhi, blackened his face and left with his briefcase.

The four editors in the office area glanced at each other and immediately cursed in a low voice.

"This thunderbolt, let us work overtime in a word, and we have to drive a night train? Brothers, let's join forces, let's go home and sleep, and take care of him!"

Xiao Dong waved his fist and hated to speak, but no one responded.

Even Zhao Zifeng was still teasing him.

"Hero, I support you spiritually, you go home and sleep!!"

The others pursed their lips and laughed.

"Come on, I can't afford to provoke it, Lei Split estimates that he didn't get sponsorship today, I heard that Zhao Gongzi, who sponsored us before, has fallen, and now it's not easy for Lei Split. ”

"Also, although our magazine has national subsidies, it can continue to lose money, and no amount of subsidies is enough. ”

"In this way, I can understand him, he knelt down and kowtowed outside, we were hanging in the unit, and it was polite not to kill us on the spot. ”

……

Huaxia Science Fiction Magazine, although it has declined, but after all, it is also an existence in the system, the salary is not high, but it is easy to live, so easy that it basically does not work.

Usually they go to work to review manuscripts, and there are few people who write science fiction, and it is good that each person can review 30 articles a month, but at their speed, they need to work for an hour or two a day, and the rest of the time is to drink tea and read the newspaper.

Originally, their magazine was a weekly, but then it became a monthly magazine, and until now, the monthly magazine is almost unbearable.

For these editors, it's just a job to make a living, so naturally they won't worry about so much messy things, stay here first, and then mix for a few years, looking for connections, and see if they can be transferred to other big magazines, or go to other platforms to be editors.

Therefore, over the years, the Huaxia Science Fiction Magazine has basically become the best gilded holy place for these young people.

"There's no drama tonight, I ordered takeout to eat, who needs a piece?"

Brother Lei, who was a little older, took a small card ordering food and shook it at the three of them.
