Wang Zhenyu, who is thirty-five years old in Chinese New Year's Eve, is the director of the editorial office of Hualian Publishing House, and his daily job is to review the manuscript. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

There are generally three major steps for a publisher to review a book manuscript.

Preliminary Examination - Review - Final Examination.

The editor-in-charge is responsible for the preliminary review, which will not carefully read the manuscript, but will roughly sort out the types of books, and then browse the manuscript, as long as the subject and form of the manuscript meet the basic requirements, it will be handed over to the director of the editorial office for review.

The review is more strict, the director of the editorial office will carefully read the content of the book, and then mark the key manuscripts that need attention and non-key manuscripts, and finally hand over the key manuscripts to the editor-in-chief.

Wang Zhenyu has been doing the work of reviewing manuscripts day after day, from the initial handwritten manuscript to the current electronic manuscript, and has been working in Hualian Publishing House for ten years.

In the past ten years, Wang Zhenyu has also been conscientious, even if he is already a little irritable in the face of this kind of work every day, he still reads every manuscript with a sense of responsibility and patience.

Fortunately, the types of reviews that Wang Zhenyu is responsible for are history and martial arts, and if there is a bit of aesthetic fatigue in reviewing history, Wang Zhenyu will change the review of martial arts manuscripts, which can also play an appropriate role in adjustment.

Today, after reviewing the electronic drafts of several history books, Wang Zhenyu felt a little sleepy, mainly because the history books are too thick and the content is the same, and few history books can be written in a light and humorous way.

As always, Wang Zhenyu began to review the electronic manuscripts of martial arts novels, which generally have a word count of about 50,000 words, except for short stories, of course.

Wang Zhenyu filled his teacup with tea, then clicked on an electronic manuscript and began to read.

First of all, Wang Zhenyu looked at the number of words in the electronic manuscript through the counter, and there were 300,000 words.

Wang Zhenyu was surprised, 300,000 words of submission are rare, especially in the martial arts novel, few people directly submit 300,000 words for review, but there have been similar situations before, although a little surprised, but it is acceptable.

The title of "Dragon Babu" reminds Wang Zhenyu of some Buddhist things, could it be that this novel is written about something related to Buddhism?

When Wang Zhenyu finished reading the first chapter of Qingshan Lei's Dangerous Peak, Wang Zhenyu's evaluation was: first-class writing, first-class character portrayal, and second-rate storyline.

When Wang Zhenyu finished reading the second chapter of Yubi Yue Huaming, Wang Zhenyu's evaluation was: first-class writing, first-class character portrayal, and quasi-first-class storyline.

……

For a whole morning, Wang Zhenyu's eyes were not reluctant to leave the computer screen, and he had been watching Tianlong Babu until Qiao Feng appeared, and then after reading the fifteenth chapter of the apricot forest, and there was no more text later, Wang Zhenyu was already shocked by this book.

That's right, it's just shocking.

The writing technique of this novel is definitely different from the previous martial arts novels, the story of the previous martial arts novels is simple and clear, either a vendetta, or a national feud, in short, at a glance, you can guess the end just by looking at the beginning.

"Dragon Babu" is different, reading it now, Wang Zhenyu is shocked by the vivid portrayal of the characters in the novel, shocked by the twists and turns of the storyline, shocked by the grandeur and breadth of the story background, and shocked by the heroic dry clouds revealed in the book.

At this time, "Dragon Babu" is no longer a simple first-class martial arts novel in Wang Zhenyu's eyes, which can no longer be described by the simple word first-class, this novel is unprecedented, an innovation, and a pioneering work of a new martial arts novel genre.

Now Wang Zhenyu doesn't want to read other submissions anymore, and the only thing he wants to do now is to quickly hand over the novel to the editor-in-chief, and then contact the author as soon as possible to talk about signing a contract for publication, and to include this novel in the key publicity goals.

"Eyes do not know gold and jade" This kind of thing generally does not happen in this kind of publishing house that has both scale and strength, and many novels are written by a big publishing house because they are optimistic about a novel, they want to squeeze the interests of the author, and then offend the author, but these plots are basically nonsense.

Only small-scale publishing houses can do such stupid things as killing chickens and taking eggs, and powerful publishing houses don't bother to do such things.

Speaking of experience and vision, these veteran publishing houses that have been in the publishing industry for decades are much better than those small publishing houses.

For Zhang Xing, as long as the royalty share follows the market, it does not need the publisher to make much concessions, the money cannot be earned by one person, the more benefits the publisher gets, the more it will try its best to publicize, and in the end, the actual benefits that the author gets are not necessarily less than taking a few more shares.

Moreover, Zhang Xing's emphasis on novels is not the publication of the novel, but other things such as film and television game copyrights, as long as these copyrights are in hand, everything else is easy to say.

The publishing house values this novel, the copyright is still in Zhang Xing's hands, and in the end, the signing of the contract for "Dragon Babu" has become very simple.

The royalty share given by Hualian Publishing House is 10%, which is already the conscience of the industry, and basically only well-known writers have such treatment, which shows that Hualian Publishing House attaches great importance to the novel "Dragon Babu".

The signing of a contract that seems to be a formal thing is actually done in a café in the end.

When the contract was signed, there were only two people, Wang Zhenyu and Zhang Xing.

Originally, Wang Zhenyu was not responsible for signing this kind of thing, which was also won by Wang Zhenyu in order to meet the author of "Dragon Babu".

When the two met, Wang Zhenyu couldn't believe that the person who could write such an excellent martial arts novel was actually a student, and what surprised Wang Zhenyu even more was that this student was Zhang Xing, a magician who had become a mess recently.

Wang Zhenyu's son and daughter like Wang Xing very much, and their sons and daughters didn't like to watch variety shows before, but since Zhang Xing participated in the variety show, the two villains began to watch variety shows every week, mainly to watch Zhang Xing's magic show.

To be honest, Wang Zhenyu also likes Zhang Xing's magic performance, because when Zhang Xing performs magic tricks, the props are always just a black cloth, and there are no other props, which makes people feel very real and more attractive.

After signing the contract, Wang Zhenyu specially asked Zhang Xing for two signatures, mainly for his two children.

When separating from Zhang Xing, looking at Zhang Xing's young and energetic back, Wang Zhenyu had to sigh that there are talents in the country, and a generation of new people is better than the old people.

After stepping out of the doorway of physical publishing, Zhang Xing's life gradually returned to the right track.

Rejecting all invitations from the outside world, Zhang Xing began to enjoy his long-lost college life.

Write novels, bubble girls, flirt with girls, and have fun.
