Chapter 542: "Friends of the Week" Signed!
Pulling aside the chat box with the black cat, Xia You clicked on the Line friend bar and turned out Machida Yuanzi's account.
Her account status is still on, and she's clearly online.
Xia You was not surprised by this.
Because the editors are a group of senior immortal cultivators, Machida Enko once told him, 'At ten o'clock in the evening, the editorial office will be officially opened.' Such a sentence.
Of course, in the final analysis, the reason why editors develop this habit of cultivating immortals every day is also because they, the writers, are immortal cultivators......
Double-click to open Machida Yuanzi's account, the chat box pops up, and Xia You starts typing.
Natsuyu: "Machida editor, are you free now? I have a good one on hand right now, and I would like you to help confirm if it can be published." γ
After waiting for a while, the chat box vibrated with a new reply.
Machida Enko: "Free time, free time!"
Machida Enko: "What's the matter? Could it be that Mr. Cheng Qing is preparing to open a new pit again, right? Then I believe that readers of RE0 and Sword Art Online will definitely be tempted to send you a blade (laughs)
Although Machida Enko said this in a half-joking tone, Xia You really didn't dare to listen to it, because it was really likely that something would happen.
Originally, he opened the two big pits of RE0 and SAO at the same time, which has already made many readers dissatisfied, if the third pit is opened, it is estimated that it will explode, right?
After all, filling in multiple pits at the same time,It takes too much brain power.,The quality of the work will definitely decline.,And manpower is also a very serious problem.,It's hard to keep up with the amount of updates.γ
Under this double restriction, the vast majority of double-open, or even multi-open, authors, even if they guarantee it well at the beginning, say how deep their feelings for the book are, but in the end, they will inevitably have eunuchs.
If the character is a little better, at most it is a few sloppy writings.
Over time, readers have become very resistant to the author's double opening, and there are many people who want to abandon the book if they don't agree.
And the reason why Xia You is okay with both openings is purely because the second pit he opened, "Sword Art Online", is very good-looking, so that readers would rather take the risk of not being finished and keep reading it.
But if the third pit is opened at this time, it is difficult to say what it will become......
After all, readers are not stupid, and there must be a limit to fooling people, and the quality of the three openings can be guaranteed, and it is not too unfinished? I'm afraid it's a dream.
After thinking about it, Xia You typed in response.
Xia You: "No, I didn't plan to open a new pit, this time I'm just working on the original work, and it's one of my juniors who is in charge of writing. γ
Machida Enko: "In this way, then I will feel much more at ease, just now I was thinking about how to persuade you if you make up your mind, teacher. Machida Enko: "Okay, teacher, you can pass it on, I just have time to take a look at it now." γ
Machida Yuanzi: "But let's talk about it first, I've known each other for so long, Mr. Qing, you also know that my review has always been very strict, and I won't lower the quality requirements just because the teacher is the original (serious face)
Xia You smiled nonchalantly: "Of course I know this, I still understand the truth of the clear distinction between public and private, please be sure to review this work according to strict standards." γ
After a pause, Xia You typed again: "But I believe that after Machida editors read it, you will thank me for introducing such a masterpiece, and such an excellent newcomer to you." γ
Machida Enko smiled, "Oh, then I'll wait and see. γ
Then Xia You sent the first volume of "Friends of the Week", which totaled 110,000 words and was divided into seven chapters. Machida Enko confirmed the receipt, and she glanced at the title and raised her eyebrows slightly.
Machida Enko: "Friends of the week...... It's really a small and fresh title.,I thought since it was the teacher you were the original.,It's probably going to be a fantasy work.,It seems that I'm thinking too much?"
Xia You: "No, this is an everyday work. As for why you chose this title, you will understand it after Machida editors read the content. γ
Machida Enko: "Okay, then teacher, wait a minute, I'll start watching." γ
Most of the more experienced copy editors know the skill of "speed reading", that is, fast reading, and Machida Enko is no exception.
And she has been engaged in editing for many years, so that her reading speed has become faster, and she can read a book with more than 100,000 words, which she can read in ten minutes.
So Xia You didn't wait long, and the chat box vibrated again.
Machida Enko: "Ah, I'm really sorry to keep you waiting, teacher, I've read what you sent. γ
Machida Enko: "After a week, you'll forget the memories of spending time with your friends and start overβthat's a novel setting. γ
Machida Enko: "To be honest, it's so novel that I want to see what you've got in your head, Sensei, why do you always come up with some brain holes that others can't think of? γ
Xia You shrugged his shoulders, not complacent. His family knows his own affairs, and he knows very well that if he hadn't seen these works in his previous life, he wouldn't have been able to think of these brain holes at all.
Therefore, Xia You didn't talk much about this, and typed and asked, "Then this book should be eligible for publication, right?"
Machida Enko nodded happily, "Of course there is. γ
Indeed, as Natsuyu said, Machida Enko is grateful that he was able to introduce this work to her, instead of passing it on to other editors or submitting it to other libraries.
Because library editors and writers are mutually beneficial.
The former is dedicated to helping the latter increase his popularity and increase the sales of his works, and when the latter becomes famous, it will also make the former's status in the library rise.
The reason why Machida Enko was able to rise from a small editor in Kadokawa Bunko to the current deputy editor-in-chief in a short period of time is because she has unearthed three popular writers: Yamada Fairy, Kasumigaoka Shiyu, and Natsuyu.
And right now, the writer in charge of writing this "Friends of the Week", judging from the old and spicy eyes of Machida Yuanzi, is definitely a good piece of jade.
Although the writing is still a little immature, as long as it is cultivated, it is entirely possible to reach a level comparable to Kasumigaoka Shiyu. In this way, she is equivalent to digging out another popular writer, and she will be promoted and raised to become the editor-in-chief for a day, just around the corner!
Holding back a little excited little heart, Machida Yuanzi typed: "Anyway, Mr. Qing, is it a matter of signing and publishing this "Friends of the Week" to discuss with you?"
Xia You: "No, I'm just providing the original work, as for signing a contract for publication, you should talk to my junior, she is the author." γ
Xia You: "That kid's LINE account is xxxxxxx"
Machida Enko: "Okay, I know, then I'll apply to add her as a friend." γ
Xia You: "Hmm. γ
