Chapter 348 The editor-in-chief also said yes

As soon as Zhang Chuan's wife heard her husband say this, she asked curiously: "What are you talking about, a young man, who is he? Is he a college student?"

"Whether it's a college student or not, I don't know yet, I just know that he's an elementary school teacher. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info" Zhang Chuan said as he looked at his wife.

"What are you talking about, how can an elementary school teacher have such a good talent!" Zhang Chuan's wife said again.

"Hey, do you think that elementary school teachers are not talented? Don't you know that Sun Yuanjie used to be an elementary school teacher? Now he is also a big writer. Zhang Chuan looked at his wife and laughed.

"That's what you said, an elementary school teacher might also have a big deal. It's just how you met an elementary school teacher. Did he take the manuscript to the editorial department and give it to you!" Zhang Chuan's wife thought, since her husband knew that the person who wrote this manuscript was a young man, then he must know this young man.

"How do I know any elementary school teacher? This manuscript was known through Lao Chen. Didn't I say yesterday that Lao Chen was going to invite me to dinner? I didn't know what it was, but when I went, I found out that he took a young man and said that he was an art teacher at their school, and that he had written a manuscript in his spare time, and he wanted to show it to me and publish it!"

Zhang Chuan told him about having dinner with Chen Dongshan yesterday.

When Zhang Chuan's wife heard this, she said, "The old Chen you are talking about, is it your college classmate Chen Dongshan!"

"Yes, isn't the one we know surnamed Chen!" Zhang Chuan glared at his wife again and said.

"Oops! An elementary school teacher, who is still studying art, can write such a good manuscript, what a versatile person!" Zhang Chuan's wife heard Zhang Chuan say that this was written by a teacher who was only learning to paint, and she also admired this teacher very much.

"Okay, I won't tell you, I'm going to rest, I'm going to take this manuscript to Editor-in-Chief Chen tomorrow, if he also feels that this manuscript is good, then it is very likely to be published." ”

Zhang Chuan said, stood up and walked to his bedroom.

The next day, Zhang Chuan got up early and ate a little breakfast. took Xu Hong's manuscript and drove to work again.

When he arrived at the publishing house, he took the manuscript directly and went to see the editor-in-chief Chen Wenchen.

Editor-in-Chief Chen's office.

"Lao Zhang! Why, I gave you a day off yesterday, did you get better of my cold? Can I go to work today?" Chen Wen didn't know what Lao Zhang was looking for him again, and he was afraid that he would come to ask for leave again!

"Okay, okay, this time I have a cold that is a mild cold, just go home and take a little medicine. Zhang Chuan looked at Chen Wen with an elated look.

"Alright, alright, let's go to work. Chen Wen looked at Zhang Chuan and said.

"There's no hurry, I'd like to show this to the editor-in-chief. ”

As Zhang Chuan spoke, he took out Xu Hong's manuscript from his briefcase and put it in front of Chen Wen.

When Chen Wen saw that Zhang Chuan had given him a thick stack of manuscripts, he felt very strange in his heart. I thought, I just joked with this guy yesterday and asked him to go back and rest while conceiving a work of children's literature, how could this be written? This speed is too fast! Such a thick stack of manuscripts, there are more than 100,000 words at a glance, can this be written in one day!

Chen Wen looked at it while thinking about it.

But as soon as he read a chapter, he was shocked by the manuscript in front of him.

"How can this manuscript be written so well! How can this look like the work of some great writer! How can this be the writing of this guy Lao Zhang, who has been an editor for more than 20 years and has read a lot of books, but he has not written much of it himself! This writing does not look like it was written by this guy!"

The more Chen Wen reads it, the more he likes it, and he feels that this manuscript is the best manuscript among all the manuscripts he has read.

After only reading one chapter, Chen Wen also attracted this manuscript, and he kept reading it, and he didn't talk to Zhang Chuan anymore.

In this way, Chen Wen watched for half an hour in one breath, still watching, without waving his hand.

At this time, Zhang Chuan was also a little breathless.

"Editor-in-Chief Chen, how is this manuscript? ”

Zhang Chuan saw that Chen Wen was just reading the manuscript and didn't talk to him, so he couldn't help but ask in a whisper.

Chen Wen reacted at this time, he looked up at Zhang Chuan with a surprised expression and said, "You wrote this manuscript yourself?"

Zhang Chuan looked at Chen Wen and smiled and said, "Editor-in-Chief Chen, do you think I may write hundreds of thousands of words in one day!"

"Then whose work is this, is it the work of that great writer, is it still Sun Yuanjie's! However, I don't think this writing is his work!"

Chen Wen thought, could it be that this manuscript is Sun Yuanjie's new work!

"No, do you think Sun Yuanjie can still write good works now? He has completely ruined his reputation and has become a guy who can only eat, drink and socialize. ”

Zhang Chuan is right. Since Sun Yuanjie became famous, he rarely had time to calm down and write. Either this one invited him to dinner, or the other invited him to dinner, he was so busy going in and out of various high-end hotels all day that he didn't have time to calm down and write anymore. He hasn't had any new works come out in the past two years, and he's completely eating the old book!

"Then whose work is this, is it the work of a newcomer? ”

Just looking at the writing and the concept, Chen Wen found it hard to believe that this manuscript was the work of a newcomer. But he knows all the famous writers in the capital. Although there are many writers, there are very few writers who really like to write children's literature!

"That's right, it's the work of a completely newcomer. Zhang Chuan looked at Chen Wen and said.

"Then who is he!How can you know a newcomer!" Chen Wen still looked at Zhang Chuan in puzzlement.

"Here's the thing---"

Zhang Chuan told Chen Wen how he got this manuscript. After listening to it, Chen Wen realized that this was the work of a primary school teacher.

"Oh, it's really not easy for an elementary school teacher to have such a level of writing!" After listening to Zhang Chuan's words, Chen Wen also looked up to Xu Hong, a primary school teacher.

"Editor-in-Chief Chen, don't forget, Sun Yuanjie was just a primary school teacher at the beginning! Aren't many big names ordinary people before they become famous!"

After listening to Chen Wen's words, Zhang Chuan expressed his opinion.

"Lao Zhang, what you said is very good, it seems that God has sent another 'Sun Yuanjie' to our publishing house! Great, this work is really good, I think it is very likely to be published!"

Chen Wen only read a few chapters, and he felt that Xu Hong's manuscript was really well written, and it was also the best one among all the manuscripts he had read.

When Zhang Chuan heard Chen Wen comment on Xu Hong's manuscript, he was naturally very happy.

But just after listening to what Chen Wen said, Xu Hong's manuscript is very likely to be published, he was a little puzzled, thinking, in the past, everything that was published was decided by him Chen Wen alone, why can't he say it now!

Thinking of this, Zhang Chuan looked at Chen Wen and said: "Editor-in-Chief Chen, what did you just say, what is the possibility of publication? Whether this publication is published or not is not a matter of your words, if you want to publish this book, is there anything else that cannot be published?"

After listening to Zhang Chuan's words, Chen Wen looked at it and sighed and said, "Old Zhang, you don't know anything about this, and now the efficiency of our publishing house is not good. Our President Liu is no longer at ease with me. I feel that I'm not very good as the editor-in-chief, so I've taken back some power!

A few days ago, President Liu told me that when he publishes his work in the future, he should say hello to him first, and let him review the manuscript, only if he thinks it is okay, then it can be published!"

As soon as Zhang Chuan heard Chen Wen's words, he understood what was going on.

It's just that he thought, even if that's the case, it doesn't mean that it's a big problem. After all, Xu Hong's manuscript is indeed very well written. No matter who reads it, they will say yes! President Liu is also an insider, and after he sees it, he will definitely say yes!

"I see! That's right! Just ask Editor-in-Chief Chen to show this manuscript to President Liu! See what he will say, I feel that as long as you feel good about the manuscript, President Liu will never say that it is not good!" Zhang Chuan looked at Chen Wen and said.

"Well, it should be like this, in the past, as long as I felt good about the draft, President Liu would also give me face, and he never objected to my opinion. Chen Wen is also very confident, and feels that even if this manuscript is given to President Liu, he will agree to publish it.

"Okay, then trouble Editor-in-Chief Chen, I'll go to the editorial department. ”

After Zhang Chuan discussed with Chen Wen, he returned to the editorial office.

And Chen Wen continued to read a few chapters of the manuscript, and felt that Xu Hong's manuscript was indeed well written. With confidence, I took the manuscript and came to President Liu's office.

President's Office.

President Liu's name is Liu Changtian, a middle-aged man with a moderate figure and a somewhat fat body. He is the founder of Spring Sprout Press. He invested in this publishing house.

"President Liu. Chen Wen stood in front of Liu Changtian and said politely.

"Oh, it's Editor-in-Chief Chen, what's the matter!" Liu Changtian was sitting at his desk reading the newspaper, and when he saw that Chen Wen was looking for him, he put the newspaper aside first.

"That's right, Zhang Chuan just sent me a manuscript, and after I read it, I felt very good, and I thought about publishing it! ”

Chen Wen said, and put Xu Hong's manuscript in front of Liu Changtian again.

Liu Changtian looked at the thick stack of manuscripts in front of him and said, "Who wrote this? Why did you write so much, there are more than 200,000 words!"

"I heard Zhang Chuan say that it was written by an elementary school teacher. Before, he had never published in newspapers and magazines, nor had he published children's literature, so he was completely new. ”

Chen Wen told Liu Changtian what he learned about Xu Hong from Zhang Chuan.

"Oh, a newcomer, let me see. ”

Listening to Chen Wen's words, Liu Changtian still didn't believe it, and felt that a newcomer's work could still be good there!

While thinking about it, Liu Changtian watched it.

However, when he looked at it, he felt that Chen Wen was not lying, and this was really a good manuscript. He only read one chapter, and he was fascinated by the story written in the manuscript, and he wanted to read it all the time!

"President Liu, how about it, isn't this a good work? Chen Wen saw a smile on the corner of Liu Changtian's mouth, so he hurriedly asked first.

"Well, that's good. Liu Changtian nodded while reading the manuscript and said.

"Is that ready to be published?" Chen Wen also looked at Liu Changtian excitedly and said.

"Is this the case, the situation of our publishing house is not very good now! Every time we publish a book, we must be cautious! Not to mention that we can make a fortune with every book we publish, but at least we must not lose money!

Therefore, I feel that if we want to publish children's literature in the future, it is best to ask Mr. Sun for advice, after all, he is an authority in this field! This manuscript named Xu Hong is indeed well written, but I think it is better to show it to Mr. Sun, and if he wants to say that this manuscript is good and can be published, we will publish it again! Our publishing house is not as good as it was a few years ago, and at that time, we had no competitors. You can toss as much as you want. But now, there are already several competitors, and the work we publish, no matter what, must have some influence!

If we publish a work of children's literature and the sales are very poor, it will not only affect the performance of our publishing house, but also affect the reputation of our publishing house! You know, our publishing house not only needs good works, but also needs a good reputation, and if the reputation is not good, then those writers will not be willing to submit articles to us in the future! If that happens, our publishing house will not be doomed. ”

President Liu also has no choice, the performance of "Chunya Publishing House" has been getting worse and worse in recent years, and every time he publishes a children's literature work, he has to hesitate and consider it again and again!

However, I think that since Mr. Sun is an authority, then he must be able to see that Xu Hong's manuscript is very good, and he will definitely agree to publish it. ”

After listening to Liu Changtian's words, Chen Wen was also a little unhappy. But there is no way, who calls others the boss? Do you still have to listen to others?

"Okay, that's it, put this manuscript here first, and after I read it, I'll show it to Sun Yuanjie! If he says that this manuscript is not bad and can be published, then I will let everyone start publishing this children's literature as soon as possible!"

Liu Changtian looked at Chen Wen and said his opinion.

When Chen Wen heard this, he couldn't say anything more, so he could only nod silently. (To be continued.) )
