Chapter 2 actually refused a visa
The author's college entrance examination is over...... The rest of the days wait for the announcement, and the full force explodes!
Lin Feng is very confident in this new book, and he is not worried about whether it can be published at all, and he doesn't have to worry about the accumulation of the first three books!
Li Jiu is a preliminary editor of C Publishing House, has been working in C Publishing House for more than a year, when he was in college, he did not study editing, reading novels is one of his great hobbies, experienced the emergence of online novels to the rise, and has also personally created two popular online texts, since then, online articles have become an inseparable part of his life, after graduating from college, he went to society, has done three jobs, all of them are not smooth, by chance, let him know that C Publishing House is recruiting editors, so, he has a try-and-see attitude, carefully prepared a resume, and then actually really entered this publishing house that is quite famous in Taiwan, as a preliminary editor. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
This is not the point, the point is that he is not only an editor, but also a fan of "Breaking the Sky", since the end of "Breaking the Firmament" by Morning Seal Falling Leaves, he has been waiting for the new book of Morning Seal Falling Leaves to come out.
He knew that the first three books of Morning Seal Leaf were all published in C Publishing House, and he also knew that every time Morning Seal Leaf was submitted, it was submitted to the editor of Hamburg Bao.
Of course, it is not possible for C Publishing House to have only one editor in Hamburg.
In order to see the new book of morning sealing and falling leaves for the first time, Li Jiu has been in contact with Hamburger Bao recently, and he has done a lot of things about drinking milk tea today and eating tomorrow.
In order to say that after the new book came out in the morning, Hamburg Baoneng handed over the preliminary review of the manuscript to him.
Eating people with short mouths and soft hands, Hamburger Bao is not such an unparticular person, after knowing Li Jiu's thoughts, he has always kept this little thing in his heart.
Although the morning seal leaves are considered a popular author, but in C Publishing House, they are not first-line big-name authors, and authors who are more famous than the big ones abound, after all, there are many authors who specialize in physical publishing, although they are not famous on the Internet, but they are famous in the physical publishing industry.
Therefore, it is not a big deal to hand over the new book of the morning seal and falling leaves to Li Jiu, a newcomer, for preliminary review.
Then, just this morning, when Hamburg Bao checked his mailbox, he finally saw the manuscript of the new book signed by Morning Seal Fallen Leaves.
"Infinite Killing?"
Seeing the title of this book, Hamburg Bao's brows furrowed, the entire Taiwanese publishing house basically will not accept novels with killing as the main line, even if the plot is brilliant, it will rarely be accepted, because of this type of book, they have published a few books before, but the sales can't recover the cost, and Taiwanese readers are very unloving to books that are too heavy in nature.
The readers here like the most,It's still the kind of light-hearted and humorous fantasy story.,A strong protagonist.,A few cool exercises.,And then when the protagonist is fine.,Just hovering between a few superb beauties.,A little more erotic 'love description is the best.,Everyone loves to watch this genre.。
Over time, almost all publishing houses stopped accepting manuscripts from the killing stream.
Hamburg Bao remembered that he once told Chenfeng Falling Leaves about this taboo, but he didn't expect that Morning Seal Falling Leaves also published three works, and this new book would commit this taboo.
However, he was only an editor of the manuscript, and the results of three best-selling books in the morning seal and falling leaves were in the front, so although he was not optimistic about this book, Hamburg Bao still passed the manuscript to Li Jiu, and specially called Li Jiu to inform him and asked him to take a look at the mailbox, and the manuscript of the morning seal and falling leaves had been sent to him.
As a fan of "Breaking the Sky", I have been looking forward to the new book of Morning Seal and Falling Leaves for so long, and of course Li Jiu was excited to receive this news, so he immediately put down the manuscript he was reading, and immediately logged in to the mailbox to search for the manuscript of the new book of Morning Seal and Fallen Leaves, and kept praying in my heart that it must still be a fantasy work, even if it is a novella!
Then, when he saw the name of the new book of Morning Seal Falling Leaves, he was stunned.
Like Hamburger, he didn't expect Morning Seal Fallen Leaves to make such a mistake.
Will "Infinite Killing" be published by a book with a killing theme?
A body blow!
In his heart, Li Jiu doesn't have much hope for this book, it seems that Chenfeng Luoye has successfully published three works, and he has become impetuous, and he even ignores the taboos in the publishing industry, really thinking that he is already a top writer?
With a disappointed mood, Li Jiu still opened the manuscript of the morning seal and falling leaves, although he had already sentenced the book to death in his heart, but as a professional review editor, he still had to take a closer look at the beginning of the book, anyway, the book on the morning seal and falling leaves is also a work he likes very much.
After opening the document where the manuscript was stored, Li Jiu calmed down and looked at it from the beginning.
Fantasy?
It's the hottest subject, but it's a pity that it's a killing stream.
Death, hell, step by step, killing machine, sure enough, it's a killing stream!
Shuttle through one terrifying world after another?
After reading the introduction, Li Jiu groaned in his heart, and he was no longer able to complain.
Then, the story officially begins, the protagonist Meng Fei hears a voice in his dream, sees a black door, and then enters the world of "Resident Evil 1" like that, or is he about to enter the train of the Umbrella Corporation's underground laboratory?
Li Jiu's spirit was lifted, such a start was very novel! It had never been seen before. The vicissitudes of life like a killer are an evolutionary?What is an evolutionary?The main god world?The reincarnation world?Points?Mission plot?Follow the heroine Alice to get the antidote serum of the T-virus?
The never-before-seen story, the amazing start, the death and killing machines that exist everywhere, the powerful, stupid, no matter whether they seem to be powerful or not, have all died in unsolvable crises one after another, unconsciously, Li Jiu completely forgot the passage of time, and the whole thinking began to follow the plot of the story, and kept fluctuating, the manuscript was read page after page, when all the 65,000-word stories of the manuscript were finished, Li Jiu was still stunned to sit in his seat, and the whole person's thinking was still in a huge shock.
What's the next movie scene?
How will Meng Fei choose to evolve?Side quest plot?Can it change the plot direction of the original movie?Can the death laser corridor be cracked?
An evolutionary who can easily kill dozens of zombies was actually torn alive by two lickers?
It took a while for Li Jiu to recover from this shock.
If "Breaking the Sky" just made him like the author of Morning Seal and Falling Leaves, this book "Infinite Killing" has turned this liking in his heart into worship! How did he come up with such an awesome idea? His thinking ability is too powerful! It is even more wonderful than the movie version of "Resident Evil......
Li Jiu found himself madly attracted to this story, and he must make it public!
A strong obsession occupied Li Jiu's thinking, and he suddenly stood up, because he was excited, and knocked over the coffee on the table, but he didn't care so much at all, and rushed to his boss in a panic.
Lao Zhang!
is Li Jiu's top boss and an editor-in-chief with the right of final review.
Li Jiu usually sees Lao Zhang, he is cautious, for fear of leaving a bad impression on the editor-in-chief, but today he is unusual, his face is flushed and he runs to Lao Zhang, facing Lao Zhang's frowning expression, as if he didn't see it, and excitedly incoherently compares hands and feet to report to Lao Zhang: "Lao Zhang! Ah no, no, editor-in-chief! Editor-in-chief! I found a very beautiful manuscript! Really! Editor-in-chief! Although that book is a murderous theme, it is really, very exciting! That story is about ......."
At the moment, without waiting for Li Jiu to finish speaking, he raised a palm, stopped Li Jiu, frowned and asked, "Where is the manuscript?"
can make Li Jiu, who is usually cautious when he sees him, so excited, although Lao Zhang is not happy about Li Jiu's gaffe today, he still has some interest in the manuscript of that book.
Although when he heard that it was a killing stream, he also secretly frowned in his heart.
"Uh......"
Li Jiu realized that he hadn't sent the manuscript to the editor-in-chief yet, so he hurriedly went to get it.
In the partition office area, almost all the editors saw the scene just now, and while they were amused, they also became a little curious about the manuscript.
Wenyu and Li Jiu sat a little far away, but just now the scene, he also saw it in his eyes, and a sense of curiosity rose in his heart, the manuscript of the morning seal and falling leaves has always been received by him, and he has also read some of the first four works of the morning seal and falling leaves, and Li Jiu is different, his favorite is the book "Breaking the Sky", there was a time when his mantra became "Don't bully the young and poor!"
At one point, his colleagues suspected him of habitually pretending.
And that sentence is a classic quote in "Breaking the Sky".
Could it be that this killing-based novel is also very good?
With such curiosity in his heart, after Li Jiu sat back in his seat, Hamburg Bao made an internal call.
"Li Jiu, did you just tell Lao Zhang about the book "Infinite Killing" I sent you in the morning?"
"Well! That's it! It's so good-looking! It's more classic than the book "Breaking the Sky" in the morning seal and falling leaves! How can you say it? Anyway, you will know it when you read it, really! I will never lie to you!"
"Oh, then I'll see. ”
Putting down the phone, Burger Pin pinched his chin
Mustaches, fiction editors all have one thing in common, that is, they have no resistance to good-looking novels.
Anyway, as a receiving editor, he doesn't have much to do every day, so he opened the manuscript in the mailbox and read it slowly.
After reading all the contents, it was already lunch time, and the colleagues had already gone to the cafeteria to eat in twos and threes, and Hamburger Bao was still sitting in his seat and seemed to be immersed in the story he had just watched, his expression was a little sluggish, and the cigarette between his fingers was about to burn his fingers, and he hadn't noticed it yet.
At this time, Li Jiu passed by him, saw his expression, and saw the manuscript of "Infinite Killing" on his computer screen, he showed a knowing smile, a little complacent, and thought: It seems that I really have some vision! I discovered the wonderfulness of this book at first sight! No, Brother Yu was also shocked.
"Hey, Brother Yu! It's time for dinner!"
Li Jiu smiled and patted Burger Bao's shoulder.
"Oh. ”
When he woke up from a dream, he closed the file, turned off the computer, and when he stood up, he still said to Li Jiu with great satisfaction: "The idea is so good! I really don't know how the author came up with this story! It's a genius! It seems that publishing is no problem, I wonder if the editor-in-chief will give him a price increase?"
Li Jiu listened to these words in his ears, as if he was praising him, and said: "Don't worry! The editor-in-chief also went to the cafeteria just now, and I immediately ordered dinner, so I will ask him, and I will tell you as soon as I have news!"
"Good!"
……
When the two arrived at the cafeteria, the editor-in-chief Lao Zhang was eating quietly in a no-man's corner, and Li Jiu hurried up to get a meal and came over.
With a smile, Li Jiu sat opposite Lao Zhang.
Lao Zhang raised his drooping eyelids, he is old, and his spirit is obviously not as good as that of young people, but he has been rolling in this industry all his life, and he has long developed an atmosphere of not being angry and arrogant, so even if he just raised his eyelids, Li Jiu also felt nervous, but at this time, Li Jiu was very confident, and he was still a little proud in his heart, and he thought that the editor-in-chief would definitely praise him, so although he was nervous, he was not afraid.
"Editor-in-chief, have you read the book "Infinite Killing"? How do you feel? Very creative, right? Do you want to notify the author to sign the contract as soon as possible?"
Li Jiu smiled meaninglessly and asked several questions in one breath.
Lao Zhang's cloudy old eyes looked at him, and when he finished asking for a long time, he coughed twice, wrinkled his thick gray eyebrows, and said in a low voice: "The book you said, I read it, the story is a bit novel, but there are also many problems, for example, in the first episode, there are too few female characters, and the erotic scenes are completely insufficient, and the current market is ...... You should know that like that kind of serious killing text, even if it is too well written, no one buys it; also, the setting is too complicated, what are the points? The main plot S-level, A-level or something, the reward of the side plot or something, too much and too complicated, now the readers who read the novel, are all reading it with a relaxed mind, few people are willing to use their brains to bother; the most important point, he writes a horror movie scene, and there may be copyright disputes with those film companies, so this book can't be signed! Let him rewrite a mainstream fantasy text! For the sake of the fact that his previous four books are still selling well, I can consider publishing them for him!"
Li Jiu was dumbfounded when he heard it, he couldn't believe that these words came out of the mouth of the editor-in-chief, such a classic novel in the eyes of himself and Brother Yu, his old man actually approved it worthless, not only did he not mention the possibility of raising the price, but he even had to refuse the visa?
"Editor-in-Chief! That book is really good......
Li Jiu wanted to work harder, but Lao Zhang was already impatient, and raised his right hand slightly, preventing Li Jiu from continuing.
If the author is humble enough to make another work that meets the needs of the market, I will still give him a chance. ”
After speaking, Lao Zhang lowered his head and continued to eat his own meal, obviously not wanting to talk about this issue anymore.
Li Jiu left speechlessly with his meal.
……
"What's the bottom line?"
As soon as he sat down next to Hamburg Bao, Hamburg Bao asked him curiously, Li Jiu shook his head and said in disappointment: "Don't mention it! The editor-in-chief means that this book can't be signed, so let Chenfeng Luoye get a new manuscript that meets the market demand, in that case, he will still be given a chance!"
"What?"
Hamburg Bao's eyes widened, and like Li Jiu just now, he couldn't believe his ears, so a classic and novel novel, even if it doesn't increase the price, still refuse the visa?
"The editor-in-chief said that he has sent you the rejection comments!"
……
After Lin Feng got out of school in the afternoon, he returned to the rental house with Cao Xue, and Ariel Lin took the initiative to grab the cooking job and pushed Lin Feng out of the kitchen, as if she wanted to be a qualified cook.
Lin Feng had nothing to do, so he went to the study to turn on the computer, logged in to the mailbox, and wanted to see if Hamburger Bao had seen his manuscript and handed it over for review.
Success, there were two more new emails in the inbox, both of which were replied to by Hamburger.
How did you reply to two new emails this time? It can't be one more send, right? Lin Feng thought with a smile, and clicked on the first reply casually.
Hello Morning Seal Fallen Leaves!
Thank you for the manuscript again, the manuscript has been submitted to the editorial team for review, please be patient, the review cycle is about half a month.
I wish the spring of literature and thoughts, and the wonderful pen and flowers!
-- Hamburg Treasure
Sure enough, it was a template reply for the receipt, Lin Feng smiled and clicked on another reply, thinking that the content of this email was mostly exactly the same.
It's just that......
Hello Morning Seal Fallen Leaves!
I regret to inform you that your new book "Infinite Killing", after careful review by our editorial team, is considered to lack publication value and does not meet the mainstream needs of the market, however, because you are our old author, the editor-in-chief is willing to give you another chance, as long as you write a mainstream fantasy text, a few more female characters, and a little less killing scenes, we are still willing to continue to cooperate with you.
I wish the spring of literature and thoughts, and the wonderful pen and flowers!
-- Hamburg Treasure
"Visa refused?"
The smile on Lin Feng's face disappeared, and his relaxed expression was no longer there, this result was completely unexpected, the new book he spent more than a month conceiving, his own ambitious work, he couldn't even sign a contract? write a mainstream fantasy text?
Lin Feng was in a bad mood.
In his memory, the first infinite stream work was sold in Taiwan, how could he write it himself, and even signing a contract became a problem?
How much worse did I write than that book?
If this is his first work, Lin Feng is not surprised, because the publishing house is always more harsh on newcomers, especially the first work, the possibility of being rejected is very great, but he has already published three works in C Publishing House, and this book should be passed smoothly! After all, the sales of the first three books are good.
Let me rewrite a mainstream fantasy text for you?
Lin Feng's anger rose in his heart, and he felt a kind of naked insult, and he refused to sign the work he had carefully prepared, so that he could get a book that followed the trend before signing with himself? What does it mean? For the sake of the previous best-selling books, the consolation prize was given?
……
Sitting in front of the computer, sitting silently for more than half an hour, Lin Feng carefully pondered what to do?
Lin Feng can't do this at all, he is not short of money now, and he will no longer throw his dignity on the ground for tens of thousands of yuan for others to trample on, once this kind of thing spreads in the author's circle, how can he mix it up in the future? Who can still afford him? After publishing three books, the new book publishing house refused to sign it, and then for the sake of the previous cooperation, rewarded him with a bite to eat?
Half an hour later, Lin Feng finally made up his mind, found out the contact information of several other publishing houses from the mailbox address book, and submitted the manuscripts and outlines one by one.
Even Publishing House D, Publishing House E, and Publishing House F, whose strength is obviously weaker than Publishing House C, submitted a manuscript to the past, and he did not believe in his painstaking work, and none of the publishing houses were willing to publish it.
It's not that they don't miss their old feelings and don't give the manuscript to C Publishing House, but they have too high a vision, so they can't blame themselves. Even if several other publishing houses are unwilling to publish it, he will not make a new bullshit mainstream fantasy article to submit.
The twilight of publishing is approaching, and in the next few years, Taiwan's publishing houses will close down one after another, and even those that are still alive will not be as profitable as before, and the majority of the money made by Internet writers will be electronic copyrights!
Therefore, when submitting articles to these publishing houses, Lin Feng had already made a decision in his heart, even if no publishing house was willing to publish it, he would send the book to the starting point, and as long as there were readers who were willing to read it, he would update it until it was completed.
He won't just swallow this breath, and as for C Publishing House, he will never submit articles to them again in the future.
