Chapter 366: Military Novel Competition
Su Huai and Duan Yang listened to these discussions in the crowded crowd and squeezed into the conference room, but there was no one.
I found out that when I asked someone, Editor-in-Chief Lu had already dragged everyone to the grass behind the building.
The two had no choice but to go downstairs to the grass behind, and when they came, they saw a group of editors in dusty suits, sitting together, all smoking depressedly...... It looks very low.
It turned out that these people were too depressed and came out to smoke collectively......
Just looked at a man with vicissitudes of life in the center of the circle and said: "Old Duan, you are also an old man in our "Reader" magazine, the praise rate in your magazine is the lowest, can you see the results yourself?"
Su Huai raised his eyes and found Duan Yang's father, Uncle Duan, who was very recognizable, just like Duan Yang, with dark skin, rustic and rustic, with a kind of old-fashioned stubbornness in his eyes.
Seeing that Uncle Duan pursed his lips, he looked unwilling and annoyed, and shook his head depressedly.
Seeing this, Duan Yang hurriedly shouted and rushed over: "The next issue will be replaced with a new serial, and the new serial will definitely become popular~~"
On the turf where they were sitting, everyone turned their heads to look, and they saw Duan Yang and Su Huai coming, and they were all stunned.
The leader in the middle looked at Uncle Duan, pointed at Duan Yang and said, "Old Duan, is this your person?"
Uncle Duan's face flushed and said, "This is my son." ”
Duan Yang hurriedly clarified loudly: "I am not here to attend my father's meeting today, I am here to attend the meeting of the editorial department of "Reader" as a partner, and I am the author of the new serialization of our "Military Legend" this time. ”
When Editor-in-Chief Lu heard that it was the author, he was not angry, but said rather depressedly:
"That's right, right here, you, the person in charge, will talk about your new theme, you are still in charge of military stories this time, right?"
"Yes, our military theme is our traditional theme "Legend of Genghis Khan of the Grassland"~~" Duan Yang pulled Su Huai forward.
Su Huai didn't know about this, and Duan Yang didn't tell him beforehand.
However, the story of Genghis Khan was originally widely circulated in China, and it was a recognized generation of heroes in China, and it was very reasonable for Duan Yang to use this theme.
But...... Does this "Reader" have a serialized column of military stories?
In his memory, this "Reader" is a weekly magazine, divided into 12 columns, such as "Special Recommendation", "Science Fiction World", "Emotional Stories", "Country Legends", "Historical Interesting Stories", "Youth Poetry Brigade", "Poet's Recent Works", "Intersection", and "Selected Prose".
But there is no "Military Legend" column.
It seems that the "Reader" of this time and space is not the same as the magazine he knows.
But I really didn't expect that this Yang would write about military affairs, this kid is really a civil and military all-rounder, and it is worth cultivating.
Just thinking like this, I suddenly heard someone next to me laugh and say:
"What?, you also do "Genghis Khan"~~" A chubby middle-aged female leader next to her frowned slightly and said:
"This theme, our group has already started to do it, I have already told my husband, please invite us a "Genghis Khan" serial, with Mr. Da Kuroki as the author, and put it in the position of the long story on the front page. ”
As soon as he said this, Duan Xiang's father and son immediately froze, what is going on?
Uncle Duan hurriedly said anxiously: "Why didn't you say it earlier, are we all ready?"
Deputy Editor Kong smiled slightly: "When will my work be reported to your Deputy Editor-in-Chief Duan?"
Duan Yang also expected this result, gritted his teeth and said: "If you hit the theme, you will hit the theme, we will each rely on our own ability." ”
"What are you talking about?" Deputy Kong's face turned slightly cold:
"The leaders of the Cultural Affairs Bureau have issued an order, and next month we will be the Patriotic Theme Month!
The long story "Genghis Khan" we wrote was in response to the call of our superiors, and it was to compete with "Tokugawa Ieyasu the Shadow Warrior" of the "Kyoto Digest" and "Ulji Buntoku" of the New European "Goryeo Literature".
There is a "Genghis Khan" on the traditional theme of our country, and your editorial team has done it, but what else does our group do? Do you do the same, isn't it your own people fighting your own people? Do others look at you or look at mine?"
In a serial magazine, it is impossible to publish two books with the same subject at the same time, especially if even the names and characters are the same...... What a way to say that?
Everyone in the magazine who attended the meeting shook their heads, obviously thinking that this was strange.
A cadre from the advertising department said: "Old Duan, you just change it, why fight with your own people?"
Someone next to him also sneered: "Old Duan, you too, you collided with Deputy Editor Kong, why didn't you report it before?"
Uncle Duan was a little anxious, and shouted: "I obviously reported it, I don't believe you asked Lao Yu." ”
The person in charge, Lao Yu, was full of anger, slapped the table and said:
"Where did you report to me, Lao Duan, don't you spew blood~!I only received the project of Deputy Editor Kong beforehand, and I didn't receive yours at all~~"
Uncle Duan was stupid, pointed at Lao Yu and said, "Lao Yu...... You...... How can you say that......!?"
At this moment, Su Huai and Duan Yang both saw it, this is obviously the deputy editor of Kong secretly tricked, Uncle Duan This is a trick of the Chinese family, otherwise where would it be such a coincidence, such a large editorial department, the two deputy editors-in-chief are responsible for colliding with the subject, and no one found out in advance?
Editor-in-chief Lu also suggested at this moment: "Okay, since that's the case, let's not get entangled, Lao Kong will continue to do "Genghis Khan", and Lao Duan, you will change the theme." ”
Uncle Duan felt that he was holding back the fire in his heart, and said hurriedly: "Can ...... This makes me change the subject matter temporarily!"
Deputy Editor Kong was still crying at the moment and pretending to be compassionate, and said sympathetically: "Alas, we didn't expect this kind of misunderstanding, Lao Duan, don't worry, no matter what subject you do, our group will fully support you, my writers, you can pick whatever you want." ”
Editor-in-chief Lu nodded: "Lao Kong, you said it well, we are all comrades, working hard for a common goal, if Lao Duan feels embarrassed, you don't do a 'military story', forget it, let Lao Kong ask the writer to write it again, it should be okay to top it......"
Uncle Duan quit: "Why! We are a Chinese literary magazine, why should I ask Yu myself to write it, don't we have a good author!?"
Duan Yang also interjected: "The column we are responsible for is called military stories, which is to promote the patriotic spirit, and the station should encourage traditional Chinese literature and art, how can I ask Yu myself to write it? I don't think we should ask for foreign aid, we should support our own Chinese authors......
As he spoke, he glanced at Su Huai as if asking for help, what else can he do now, he can only rely on his teacher...... (To be continued.) )
