Chapter 345: The manuscript is very well written
Chapter 345 is very well written
As soon as Chen Dongshan heard Zhang Chuan say such a thing, he was surprised: "Oh, so to speak, you also have an opponent now." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info is no longer the dominant situation it used to be. ”
When Zhang Chuan heard this, he nodded and said, "No, we are not having a good time now!" It's not a few years ago. At that time, we were a single family, so it can be said that we want the wind to be the wind and the rain! Now it's not going to work, there are several children's literature publishing houses in Beijing, and the children's works published by others are also very popular! ”
Compared with a few years ago, the children's literature market in Beijing is basically monopolized by Chunya Publishing House. The current children's literature market in Beijing can be said to be full of gunsmoke and fierce competition.
The previous "Spring Sprout Publishing House" has indeed been in the limelight for several years with the best-selling of "Robot Adventure". Because, at that time, there were few children's publishing houses in Beijing. In addition to "Spring Sprout Publishing House", there are also two small children's literature publishing houses, that is, some children's comics, which are not at all fashionable.
But it's not like it was a few years ago. With the hot sales of "Robot Adventure", it seems that it has also stimulated the children's literature market, making this market popular all of a sudden.
The market is on fire, which is a good thing. For "Spring Sprout Children's Publishing House", it could have made a lot of money. But it wasn't as they thought. After this market became popular, those publishers who originally only published adult works also joined the battle and entered the market. Soon, several children's literature publishing houses popped up in the capital. They were all funded by some large adult publishing houses.
At this time, the market for children's literature in the entire capital is lively. From one monopoly, it has become a few competing for the world.
The "Spring Sprout Publishing House", which was beautiful before, is now having a hard time. Because "Robot Adventures" has been published for many years, the market demand is already saturated. It's hard to have a bigger sale. And with the advent of other well-known children's literature, the sales of "Robot Adventures" have begun to decline.
And "Spring Sprout Press" has not published excellent children's literature after "Robot Adventure". Mr. Sun's follow-up works of several "Robot Adventures" have no achievements at all. The market sales are mediocre. Some readers reacted that Mr. Sun's follow-up works did not look like his own works at all, and felt as if someone else had written them for Mr. Sun. Some newspapers also directly published an article by a commentator, saying that the follow-up works of Mr. Sun's several "Robot Adventures" do not seem to be his own works, but to other people's works. Placed together with "Robot Adventure", there is a feeling of a dog's tail and mink.
In fact, this is wronging Mr. Sun, and the follow-up works of these "Robot Adventures" are indeed Mr. Sun's works. It's just that the market reacted and the sales after publication were not good, which made everyone question.
In response to this matter, Mr. Sun also published an article in the newspaper saying that these works were indeed his own works, but he wrote these works later after he became a professional writer. He himself can't understand that in the past, when he was just a part-time job, he was very inspired, and "Robot Adventure" can be said to be done in one go, and there is no modification at all. After publication, it was also a hot mess.
But when he quit his job as an elementary school teacher and concentrated on writing, he had no inspiration. In the following three follow-up similar works, I can't find the feeling of writing "Robot Adventure" back then, which made him not write as good as "Robot Adventure".
Although Mr. Sun explained it to everyone in the newspaper. But everyone still doesn't seem to believe it. I just thought that Mr. Sun had become famous, so he became lazy and began to take care of some third-rate writers to help him doodle. In this way, as long as he signs his Sun Yuanjie's name, he can also become a bestseller!
In this regard, Mr. Sun had no choice but to let it go. Now that's the case, "Chuncao Press" is facing huge market pressure. It's just that with the market occupancy of "Robot Adventure", it can compete with several other publishing houses.
listened to Zhang Chuan's explanation. Chen Dongshan wasted no time in taking out Xu Hong's manuscript of "Sanmao Wanderings" from the black briefcase beside him.
"Lao Zhang! It seems that your publishing house is not having a good time! Now is there an urgent need for some good children's literature. Chen Dongshan took the manuscript and didn't rush to give it to Zhang Chuan, but just said so.
"But no, now I feel that the works that have been submitted to our "Spring Sprout Publishing House" are really not good, and I have been an editor for so many years, and I can still grasp the quality of the manuscript. I feel that since "Robot Adventure", there has not been a good manuscript. ”
Zhang Chuan looked at the stack of manuscript paper in Chen Dongshan's hand, and felt that what he was holding in his hand should be a manuscript of children's literature. It's just that Chen Dongshan hasn't given it to him yet, and he just glanced at it and didn't take the initiative to get it.
"Okay, let's see how this one goes!" Only then did Chen Dongshan put the manuscript of Xu Hong's "Sanmao Wanderings" in front of Zhang Chuan.
Zhang Chuan picked it up and looked at it seriously.
When he didn't read it, Zhang Chuan didn't have much hope, after all, he had read a lot of manuscripts, and it can be said that there were very few really good works. Now that Chen Dongshan recommended another article to him, he didn't have much hope, and he probably didn't feel good.
I just thought that since the old classmate showed it to him personally, he took it seriously and watched it for a while.
But what surprised him was that he only finished reading the first chapter of "Sanmao Wanderings", and he was completely attracted to this work.
"Damn! Whose work is this, how is it so well written, this is simply a masterpiece! How can it be better than what is written in "Robot Adventures", how is this possible. ”
Just after reading the first chapter, I had such an impression in Zhang Chuan's brain. I feel that this manuscript in front of me is the best manuscript he has seen in decades as an editor. It's even better than Mr. Sun's previous masterpiece "Robot Adventure"!
Zhang Chuan just read a chapter of "Sanmao Wanderings", and he was completely attracted by this manuscript, he wanted to continue reading it for a while, and forgot that Chen Dongshan and Xu Hong were still sitting next to him! I just forgot to admire Xu Hong's manuscript of "Sanmao Wanderings", reading chapter by chapter, and I didn't want to wave my hand. I just want to read the whole work in one go! That's how enjoyable it is!
As soon as Xu Hong saw Zhang Chuan's expression, he felt that his manuscript might have a drama, this guy had already fascinated the manuscript he wrote, he had read chapter after chapter, and he couldn't put it down at all.
And Chen Dongshan is the same, he saw Zhang Chuan constantly looking at the manuscript, looking selfless, he also felt that the manuscript written by Xu Hong really attracted Zhang Chuan, and he didn't want to say anything to Chen Dongshan anymore.
Chen Dongshan and Xu Hong looked at each other, and they both showed knowing smiles.
But Xu Hong's manuscript has two or three hundred thousand words! It's not something you can watch in a while, but if you read it completely, you'll have to watch it for at least a day!
How can this work, if Zhang Chuan is allowed to keep looking at it like this, then Xu Hui and Chen Dongshan will not be left to the side by this guy.
Now Xu Hong gave Chen Dongshan a look. Chen Dongshan also nodded, he naturally knew what Xu Hong meant.
"Ahem!"
Chen Dongshan deliberately pretended to cough twice. Then he looked at Zhang Chuan and spoke. "Lao Zhang, you've read a few chapters too! I feel how Mr. Xu writes and whether there is a level. ”
As soon as Zhang Chuan heard Chen Dongshan's words, he came back to his senses, put the manuscript aside, and then looked at Chen Dongshan excitedly and said, "Oh my God! This manuscript is so well written, I have never seen such a beautiful manuscript! Who wrote this, it won't be Lao Chen, you wrote it yourself! ”
It seems that Zhang Chuan's thoughts are still in the story of "Sanmao Wanderings". Chen Dongshan had already said that it was written by Mr. Xu just now, but he didn't hear it at all. I'm still asking who wrote this manuscript, and I thought it was written by Chen Dongshan!
"Lao Zhang, didn't I say it just now, this is written by Xu Hong, why didn't you hear it!" Chen Dongshan repeated what he had just said.
"Oh, this "Sanmao Wanderings" was written by this young teacher Xu." As soon as Zhang Chuan heard Chen Dongshan's words, he immediately looked at Xu Hong in surprise.
Xu Hong looked at Zhang Chuan and smiled embarrassedly and said, "I wrote it, I like to read some children's stories since I was a child, but I haven't written them yet." Recently, I suddenly had some inspiration and felt that I wanted to write something, so I had this "Sanmao Wanderings". ”
After finishing speaking, Xu Hong looked at Zhang Chuan again and said, "Editor Zhang, I don't know how my debut novel is!" I just love to write, and I haven't published anything, but this is my real debut novel, and I haven't even published a piece of tofu in a newspaper before. ”
Xu Hong's words are also true, whether he was reborn or after rebirth, he really did not write any manuscripts, let alone publish any works in any newspapers and magazines.
Chen Dongshan didn't wait for Zhang Chuan to say anything, so he also chimed in and asked: "Lao Zhang, to be honest, how is this manuscript of Mr. Xu, can it be published!" ”
Zhang Chuan said excitedly: "Let's tell the truth!" It's one of the best I've seen as an editor in my decades, and I can't believe it could have been written by someone who had never written a manuscript before. This writing is definitely the writing of a great writer! ”
"Yes! Mr. Xu really writes so well. Hearing the words of this professional, Chen Dongshan was also very happy. I feel that since this professional has said so, the possibility of Xu Hong's novel being published is also very high.
"Editor Zhang, don't deliberately exaggerate just to save face! Did I really write very well! Xu Hong also looked at Zhang Chuan in surprise and asked again.
"How to say it! Anyway, I feel that your "Sanmao Wanderings" is really well written. Of course, this is just my own family statement. What the hell is going on, we have to show it to our editor-in-chief to find out! ”
Editor Zhang is just an ordinary old editor of "Chunya Publishing House", and above him, there are leaders such as the editor-in-chief and the president! He felt that Xu Hong's manuscript was well written, but it did not mean that it would definitely be published. It all depends on the meaning of the editor-in-chief and the president.
"Oh well! It's troublesome to edit Zhang. I hope that your editor-in-chief will also be able to read my manuscript. As soon as he heard Zhang Chuan's words, Xu Hong could only say this.
"Lao Zhang, then I'm sorry for you, you take this manuscript to your publishing house and let some leaders read it! If they all feel good, then they can be published. Chen Dongshan thought that since Editor Zhang felt that Xu Hong's manuscript was good, there might be a play.
"Okay, I'll definitely show this manuscript to the editor-in-chief. I think it's the manuscript I fancied, and the editor-in-chief will also give me face, anyway, I have also worked in "Spring Sprout Press" for more than 20 years. In the past, as long as I felt good about the manuscript, the editor-in-chief would usually agree to publish it. ”
Zhang Chuan feels that Xu Hong's manuscript is indeed good, and the possibility of publishing this time is very great. Although he can't have the final say on his own, as long as he shows it to his editor-in-chief, the possibility of publication is also very high.
"Okay, then I'll trouble you, come, I'll toast you again."
Chen Dongshan saw that Zhang Chuan had already said that there was a great possibility that this manuscript would be published, so he was very happy, and immediately poured Zhang Chuan a glass of wine.
Zhang Chuan was not polite, and drank it immediately.
As soon as he finished drinking, Xu Hong also toasted him with a glass of wine.
"Editor Zhang, I'll trouble you a lot this time, if my book can be published, I will definitely treat you to another meal." Xu Hong also happily brought the wine glass to Zhang Chuan.
Zhang Chuan looked at Xu Hong and smiled, took the cup and drank it all.
"Alright, you guys eat! I'll look at the manuscript for a moment. ”
It seems that Zhang Chuan is still thinking about the story of "Sanmao Wandering"! Now that I've drunk two glasses of wine and eaten two bites of food, I want to read the manuscript again.
"Okay, then we're welcome, Lao Zhang, you can read the manuscript! We're going to eat. Chen Dongshan looked at Zhang Chuan and smiled, and then began to eat unceremoniously.
Xu Hong also glanced at Zhang Chuan's selfless spirit, and happily began to eat.
While eating, he also whispered to Chen Dongshan about some of the problems he encountered when writing "Sanmao Wanderings".
The two only ate and drank food, while Zhang Chuan watched the story of "Sanmao Wandering" written by Xu Hong with oblivion. (To be continued.) )
