Chapter 8: To Sign or Not to Sign
Starting Point Editorial Department.
Wu Yue is an editor in the editorial department of Qiqi Chinese.com.
His task is to review, sign contracts, and promote novels written by online authors.
There are 30 new books to review today.
When a novel reaches 20,000 words, the novel will be displayed in the background of the editorial department of Qiqi.com.
As an editor, his task is to review these new books.
If, during the review, it is found that the new book has potential, then the contract work can be submitted to the editor-in-chief.
It took a morning for Wuyue to review 29 novels, leaving only the last one.
Alas, there are too few potential works.
Of nearly 30 novels, Wuyue only fancies three works with potential, that is, works that can be contracted.
That is, out of ten people, only one person can sign a contract, and the novels written by the other nine people cannot be signed.
Although the inability to sign a contract does not mean that the book has no value, however, according to the rules of online novels. A work that could not be signed, he could basically conclude that there was no need to write this book anymore.
Take a look at the last novel.
Clicking on the last work backstage, Wuyue just glanced at it, and instantly felt a little Spartan.
How the badass are made.
Oh my God, the current authors are really whimsical when they write novels, and they dare to take any novel name.
However, Wuyue, who has been reviewing new books, also knows that although the title of a book like this is strange, it is not unprecedented. After all, there is no threshold for online writing, you can write whatever novel you want, and you can choose whatever title you want. However, in most cases, most of the strange titles like this cannot be signed.
It's just that Wuyue didn't just discard the book.
Although the title of the book is a bit non-mainstream, the text has not yet been read.
Always keeping in mind the profession and accomplishment of editors, Wuyue does not define a work based on its first image.
Let's read the text.
Chapter 1 of the text: Determination
The first chapter is about a weak student named Xie Wendong, who is bullied by a group of student gangsters. However, in addition to bullying, Xie Wendong did not get any abnormal abilities, and then killed the Quartet, but picked up a knife and slashed his hand. In this way of self-harm, determined not to be cowardly again......
There are only 7 chapters on how the bad guys are made, and they have just reached 20,000 words.
Wuyue quickly finished reading these 7 chapters.
How so?
After reading it, Wuyue didn't know why, and there were some faint impulses in his heart.
He feels that this work is very well written, and the writing is also very burning, even if he has watched countless works for review all year round, but when he sees how this villain is practiced, he is still very much looking forward to this work. Especially, when he reviewed this work just now, he actually became a pure reader.
This is a rare case.
Because of his work, he will look at almost any work to him with the eyes of an editor.
For example, how is the writing and what is the main line...... Wait a minute.
However, how did this villain get it, but in just ten minutes, he conquered Wuyue.
Agency.
The first thought that came to my mind was to sign a contract.
How can a novel like this that attracts editors not be signed?
It's just that just when Wuyue was about to submit the bad guy contract to the editor-in-chief, Wuyue had a trace of hesitation.
The writing of this novel is not too white.
After signing such a novice novel, will the editor-in-chief agree to sign the contract?
There are some Wuyue who can't make up their minds.
After thinking about it, Wuyue asked his colleague "Taishan".
"Tarzan, there is a book that I can't make up my mind, you can take a look. ”
With that, Wuyue sent Taishan how the villains were trained.
After a while, Taishan replied, "Wuyue, I don't know how to evaluate it. It can't be said that the writing is not good, the story still looks quite enthusiastic, but the writing is too white. ”
"Oh, Tarzan, you can't make up your mind. ”
"If you want me to say, it's okay to sign this book, or it's okay not to sign it. It's just that this novel has recently been in Longkong, but it has attracted the attention of many authors. ”
Long Kong also watched this book, what did they say, it's okay. ”
On the contrary, everyone in Longkong was scolded. ”
Taishan shrugged his shoulders, "Longkong, you also know, most of them are authors, literati are light, relatively Xiaobai's writing has never been recognized by them, it doesn't matter if you refer to their opinions or not." However, as you know, the Phantom Moon and Lian Heng have been competing fiercely with our starting point, and Longkong is a neutral author discussion platform, and their comments can easily cause other new authors to go forward. If we signed this work at the starting point, we may scold us at the starting point editor in the forum for not having a vision. ”
"Of course, we don't value the opinions of the Longkong Forum. However, even if you agree, you may not be able to pass the editor-in-chief. We have only been in the company for half a year, and we are just new editors, and the company is still assessing us, so it is safer. ”
After Taishan commented, he finally said, "To sign or not to sign, you can consider it yourself." ”
Taishan's evaluation is undoubtedly relatively fair.
If it's an ordinary novel, it doesn't matter if you sign it or not.
But now this work has been criticized by Long Kong, and there is also a relatively big controversy in the writing.
Signing this work is really risky, which is also not good for Wuyue's work.
It's just that he asked Wuyue to give up this work, but he was unwilling.
N5Capital knows the importance of signing a contract.
As soon as this novel is abandoned by himself, or not signed, then this book may disappear.
Because no newcomer can continue to renew as before signing a contract is rejected.
Wuyue had a headache, so he had to read the bad guy again.
Excited, hot-blooded...... Once again, the feeling came flooding back.
Clap.
Not to mention anything else, just rush to this enthusiasm, and this book can be signed.
If you give up like this, I am afraid that I will be sorry for my conscience and violate my professional ethics.
After thinking about it, Wuyue created a new document, which was the document of the quasi-contracted work of the day.
A total of 4 works were submitted for signing on the same day, and Wuyue wrote contract evaluations for these four respectively.
The Way of Heaven: The writing is excellent.
Martial arts competition: The plot peaks and protrudes, which is very attractive.
Tang Dynasty Hegemony: The author has a strong historical foundation, and the novel is cleverly linked with history, and you can feel the strong atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty after reading.
How the bad guy is trained: Although the writing is small, it is very smooth, and you can understand it at a glance. In addition, the plot is attached to reality, which is very enthusiastic and has a sense of substitution.
After writing the evaluation of the four works, Wuyue was a little worried about whether the editor-in-chief would still get rid of the bad guys.
They are only editors-in-charge and have limited power, and can only advise the editor-in-chief on whether to sign which work.
As for whether to sign or not, it is up to the editor-in-chief to make an idea.
After thinking about it, Wuyue added another sentence after the bad guy's evaluation, highly recommended.
The addition of this sentence indicates that the editor in charge is very recognized.
Under normal circumstances, if the editor-in-chief sees this strong recommendation at this time, even if he feels that this work cannot be signed, he will finally take into account the opinions of the editor-in-charge and finally sign a contract for him. After all, although the editors in charge have limited powers, they are the first line to deal with novels, and their evaluations are also very informative.
After writing the evaluation of the four works, Wuyue sent it to the editor-in-chief of Group 7, "Squad Leader".
