Chapter 4 Magazine Response

Ye Ziwei, as usual, parked the electric car downstairs in the company and carried the steamed buns and soy milk bought on the road into the company.

There was still half an hour before the start of work, but since she had just moved from another magazine, she was a little more diligent.

The office was cleaned, and others came one after another.

After everyone greeted each other, Ye Ziwei knew that everything was too much, and she also returned to her position.

A new day's work has officially begun.

Log in to QQ, reply to new messages one by one, and then open your mailbox again to see if there are any good drafts.

"Legend of the Blood Knife", Ye Ziwei frowned, this seems to be martial arts, I went in with a little mouse, and after reading the first few paragraphs, it was really martial arts, and it was the kind of routine from decades ago. She clicked on x directly, and she didn't even bother to reply.

Please understand clearly next time and then submit the article, they are an original youth literature magazine, not a martial arts magazine.

Click on another one, the book is called "Angry Woman", what a ghost book title, Ye Ziwei read it patiently, unexpectedly, the writing is okay, although the plot is not too good, but the character portrayal is good.

She sent this manuscript to the editor-in-chief's mailbox with a sentence: The writing is acceptable, the plot is average, the characters are distinct, and the score: B.

Grade B is considered a decent type of text, in addition to grade C, A and S.

Grade C, one level lower than Grade B, this level of papers, under normal circumstances, will not be sent to the editor-in-chief, unless the number of manuscripts is not enough, will be used to fill the number.

A-level is a first-class work, and in general magazines, there will be several articles of this level in each issue.

As for the S-level, it is hard to find, Ye Ziwei has been an editor for so many years, and she has only encountered a few articles, and in the end she missed them, the reason goes without saying that the bid is not as high as other magazines.

This is also the reason why she jumped ship, the old club was too picky.

"Breaking the Waves" is a new magazine that was only established in September this year, and it is said that the boss is a rich second generation, willing to spend money, and has been published for more than two months, and the circulation has increased from a few hundred copies in the first issue to several thousand.

Well, although it is not as good as the old club, and even less than the large magazines with a circulation of hundreds of thousands or millions at every turn, it is good enough for a new magazine.

The outlook is still worth looking forward to.

It took less than two hours for Ye Ziwei to finish reviewing the manuscript in the mailbox, no way, the current fame of "Breaking the Waves" is still too small, and no one has submitted it.

Of the more than 20 manuscripts, only three were submitted to the editor-in-chief. One B-level and two C-level.

She couldn't help but sigh, there is no excellent manuscript, and if this continues, the magazine will not mention any development at all.

I don't know if it's right or wrong to jump ship.

"Hey, Brother Liu, did you find any good manuscripts?" she asked a man in his early thirties wearing a black frame next to her.

"Alas, don't mention it. The man sighed, a constipated expression.

Ye Ziwei was concerned and sighed.

At this time, a long-legged girl walked out of the editor-in-chief's office and walked straight towards Ye Ziwei.

"Ziwei, I heard you can write Braille?"

Ye Ziwei was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "Yes, editor-in-chief." ”

"Look, is this Braille?" the long-legged girl threw a stack of manuscripts onto Ye Ziwei's desk.

Ye Ziwei picked up the manuscript and glanced at it, and was immediately attracted by the two words of the title.

"That's right, it's Braille. ”

"Well, you'll review this manuscript. After speaking, the long-legged girl clapped her palms and motioned for everyone to come over.

"Our company is now in its infancy, it is normal to have some difficulties in the early stage, don't be discouraged, think more about how to solve the current problems, the company's development is good, everyone's treatment will be better, everyone says isn't it?"

Ye Ziwei pursed her lips, too lazy to listen to this kind of nonsense, she was already attracted by the title of the braille manuscript in her hand, and she couldn't wait to start reading.

The title of this manuscript is "Phantom City".

Ten minutes later, she stood up, rushed into the editor-in-chief's office in a hurry, and slapped the manuscript of "Phantom City" on the table of the long-legged girl.

"Editor-in-chief, this manuscript is fantastic, S-grade! Absolutely, S-class!"

Luo Ying was originally very dissatisfied with someone suddenly breaking into her office, but after hearing the other party say the S-class, she was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "Really?"

"Really. The red light on Ye Ziwei's face had not yet dissipated, and she said excitedly, "This is the most dreamy and gorgeous text I have ever read, and it will definitely sell well." ”

Luo Ying obviously didn't believe it, so she said, "You translate this manuscript immediately, and I will see it myself." ”

"No problem. Ye Ziwei picked up the manuscript and was about to leave, when she suddenly remembered something, turned around, and looked embarrassed, "But I have other jobs......

Luo Ying gave her a roll of the eyes directly: "You can just hand over those jobs to others, before getting off work today, I want to see this manuscript, do you know?"

"Got it. Ye Ziwei left excitedly.

Back in the editing room, a group of people immediately gathered around and asked her what had happened.

Ye Ziwei briefly explained, and immediately rushed people, "Phantom City" is about 20,000 words, with her hand speed of 3,000 words per hour, she has to give up the noon break to get out before getting off work.

But she has no complaints, and it is worth it to be able to witness the birth of an S-class work in her own hands.

After driving people away, without saying a word, just open the word document.

Bang Bang Bang ......

The dense keyboard sound rang in the editing room for a day.

Finally, Ye Ziwei walked into the editor-in-chief's office again before getting off work.

"You sit and wait until I finish reading it. Luo Ying took the manuscript and said.

Ten minutes later.

Luo Ying put down the manuscript and said, "Contact this author immediately and buy this manuscript." ”

"So, what price should I give?" Ye Ziwei asked.

Luo Ying pondered for a moment: "What do you think of 900 thousand words?"

"Shhh

Although she is also very optimistic about this "Phantom City", the price of 900 thousand words is too high, and the other party seems to be a newcomer.

"Isn't it too high?"

"It's not high, this novel is worth this price, we don't buy it, others will buy it. Luo Ying said, "And I think this is an opportunity for us to open up the market for Breaking Waves Magazine." ”

Ye Ziwei nodded, since the editor-in-chief is not afraid of spending money, what is she afraid of, anyway, she is not paying for it herself.

……

A new week.

Li Qing has become the existence of the stars in the class, and many people surround him to listen to his original songs.

He was somewhat flattered, but refused without hesitation.

Before the New Year's Day party, he didn't want this song to be heard by too many people.

The entries have been sent in, and the preliminary round is scheduled for December 23, which is Thursday of the following week.

There is still more than a week to prepare.

It's okay to sing like Li Qing, you can roar twice anywhere, but those who dance and act in sketches are in trouble, and you have to apply for a room to practice. And then I have to put up with a bunch of bored people lying outside the window and watching.

Li Qing can sing the song "To My Future Self" without pressure, but he still practices every day, and in addition, he has not fallen behind in exercising.

But his workout has changed from running to playing basketball.

Yes, you heard it right, a blind man can also play basketball.

Of course, Li Qing's way of playing basketball is currently limited to dribbling, and there is no need to think about shooting.

As the days passed, and the weekend was getting closer and closer, Li Qing couldn't help but be anxious. Just when he thought that his contribution to the magazine was going to be lost, a letter from the magazine "Breaking the Waves" was sent to him.
