The office of the editor-in-chief of "Jianghu Inn". Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Chen Rui, the president and editor-in-chief, is making plans for the follow-up development of the publishing house.
Since the first issue of the monthly magazine "Jianghu Inn" was issued, it has been issued to the 11th issue, and the average circulation has steadily entered the 150,000 mark.
For a new magazine, this is already a good achievement.
Chen Rui himself is a martial arts enthusiast, and he has a chivalrous plot in his bones, so he will override public opinion at the meeting of the group company and open up such a new type of magazine.
The company also gave enough trust to Chen Rui, and since the beginning of the magazine, the group has given Chen Rui the green light, asking for money and people.
Along the way, it was quite smooth.
Chen Rui himself is also the president and editor-in-chief, and he is very enthusiastic about his work.
This made Chen Rui, who was about to turn forty, feel as if he was back in his twenties and dared to fight.
"Bang!"
The office door was violently opened.
"Lao Chen! Lao Chen! Is this issue finalized? ”
Lao Liu hurriedly walked in.
"It's just settled, it's the end of the month, if you don't settle down, what will we send in a few days?"
For the furious Lao Liu, Chen Rui seemed to be immune, and waved his hand very calmly, signaling Lao Liu to sit down.
"Finalized? Knock down one of the short stories! Make this up! ”
As soon as Lao Liu heard that it had been finalized, he directly threw the folder of "Yue Nu Sword" on the playing table, and said domineeringly.
Just looking at that appearance, I didn't know that he was the president of the magazine.
"Huh? Relational households? Can you look like this, it looks like a big Buddha? ”
Chen Rui's originally kind face fell in an instant.
"What kind of relationship, don't you look down on our old Liu! What kind of person am I? Yes, anyway, you're the editor-in-chief, so you can review this manuscript. ”
Lao Liu saw that Chen Rui had misunderstood, and hurriedly refuted with a white face.
"Your editorial office has reviewed it?"
Chen Rui took the manuscript in front of him, flipped it up, and asked without raising his head.
"Uh...... Well! ”
Lao Liu was stunned when he heard this, and seemed to ...... Only myself and Wang Xiaozi have read this manuscript in the entire editorial department? The rest of the editors seem to have just watched a clip...... This seems to be considered a trial, right?
I'm also a deputy editor-in-chief!
"Okay, I guess you're the only one to judge, right? This is not in accordance with the rules, and it is not an example...... Hey? Not to mention that this opening is novel enough! ”
As he was talking, Chen Rui was attracted by the content of "Yue Nu Sword".
Lao Liu sat on the sofa leisurely and snickered, forgetting that he was like this when he read the manuscript just now.
More than ten minutes later.
Lao Liu looked at Chen Rui, who had just hung up the phone in the publishing department and asked them to retypeset it, and came over to take the manuscript of "Yue Nu Sword" and add this short story to Chen Rui.
"This work is good, author Bei Chen? This story and technique obviously reveal a common demeanor! Look, Gou Jian, Fan Li and Xi Shi are all written in a good way, I wonder if there is really such a wonderful story in history. It's almost real! It's just this Beichen, why haven't I heard of it? ”
Chen Rui is also immersed in the shock of "Yue Nu Sword", although it is a short story, but the content is rich and exciting, and it can be called an absolute classic among the short stories.
"This manuscript was handed over by Xiao Wang, it seems that the author personally submitted the manuscript, and it should have a good impression of our magazine, and the author has to keep whatever he says."
Lao Liu interrupted Chen Rui's exclamation and added.
"Huh? Is the author gone? ”
Chen Rui suddenly asked.
"Ahh I'm going to ask Xiao Wang! ”
Lao Liu also seemed to have just reacted, and he suddenly stood up and ran to the editorial department.
"Oh, this old boy!"
Chen Rui was very helpless and dialed the phone at the front desk.
Wouldn't it be clear to call the front desk yourself?
Still running to ask?
It's really a brainless way to go out!
"Hey, Xiaolu!"
"Is there an author in the lounge? What the! He's going to leave soon? ”
"Don't say anything. Hang up first! ”
Chen Rui hung up the phone, tidied up his clothes, pushed the door directly and walked out.
After waiting for almost twenty-five or six minutes, seeing that everyone in the magazine was about to get off work, Han Rui just got together and considered whether to go back.
I saw that Huang Xiaolu at the front desk received a phone call, and looked at his side while answering.
Han Rui said in his heart.
That's it!
This speed of drafting, which newcomer dares to think about this efficiency?
Han Rui knew that their leaders were about to come down, and they immediately wanted to leave.
I saw three people walking down from the second floor with eager faces, and it was Chen Rui, Lao Liu and Wang Wenhua who met at the same time when they went down the stairs.
Although Wang Wenhua told Lao Liu and Chen Rui when he went down the stairs, the author was very young, and at the same time, he patted his head and remembered what Huang Xiaolu told him, the author only waited for 30 minutes.
This made Wang Wenhua instantly worship Han Rui, tsk, this is self-confidence, saying that 30 minutes is 30 minutes, and the president was shocked.
The moment they saw Han Rui, Chen Rui and Lao Liu were still very surprised.
"Mr. Beichen stays."
However, seeing that this great god was about to leave, several people hurriedly said hello, took three steps and made two steps, and hurriedly followed.
"Who are you?"
A smile flashed at the corner of Han Rui's mouth when he heard this, and then he returned to normal, turned around, and asked deliberately.
"Hello, contemptible Chen Rui, is the president of the company, I really didn't expect Mr. Beichen to be so young, he is really young and promising."
Chen Rui maintained enough etiquette, and at the same time secretly praised Han Rui.
"It turned out to be President Chen, and President Chen has a good reputation. It's good to call me Beichen, but the word Mr. is not deserved. ”
Han Rui didn't expect that the president of the "Jianghu Inn" magazine would come down in person, but thinking that this was Jin Lao's work, everything seemed to be reasonable.
The president has come down, and the two next to him, the young one is the editor, and he has deduced it before. This older person should be the editor-in-chief or deputy editor-in-chief.
"Mr. Beichen is modest, what about your works, we have read it, Mr. has poetry and books in his belly, and his literary talent is outstanding, so talented, how can he not be Mr."
Chen Rui didn't expect this young man in his twenties to be so steady, and immediately complimented him.
If he knew that the young man in front of him was actually only sixteen years old, he didn't know how he would feel.
"What does President Chen mean?"
Han Rui is still very calm, which means that the book has passed.
However, you can't mention this matter first, you have to mention it first, so that you can take the initiative.
"This is not a place to talk, and please ask Mr. Han to move the conference room? Please. ”
was blocked back by Han Rui's words, Chen Rui knew that this young man was not simple, he was not the kind of master who only knew how to write books and was not good at communicating, this young man was very good at handling things.
"Please."
The four of them went up to the second floor while talking.
looked stupid at the front desk Huang Xiaolu.
"It's really a great god, the president and deputy editor-in-chief have personally come down to invite me."
Huang Xiaolu sighed secretly in her heart.
Suddenly, she looked down at her lady's watch again.
"That's 30 minutes!"
When the four of them walked away, an exclamation sounded at the front desk.
in the conference room.
"So, history is a nail in the coffin of a novel, we can integrate martial arts into history, but we don't have to stick to the inherent history, right?"
Han Rui is talking about his "Yue Nu Sword"!
"Well said! Yes, blend in with history, and you don't have to stick to history. ”
Chen Rui looked at Han Rui's eyes full of admiration.
This young man is amazing!
"History is a nail in the novel, Brother Han has a good opinion!"
For Han Rui's words, it really made Liu, who has been an editor for more than 20 years, shine.
It's insightful!
Chen Rui has never brought a secretary, so Wang Wenhua handled all the work of serving tea and pouring water and handing documents in the conference room.
Chen Rui, Lao Liu and Han Rui sat and chatted.
Wang Wenhua looked at Han Rui at the moment, his eyes were starry, he was a martial arts editor, and he was also very insightful about martial arts, but after listening to Han Rui's remarks.
He simply worships Han Rui to the point that he can't do it!
After all, Han Rui had lived for more than thirty years in the previous time and space, and he could still cope with this little scene, and he would be called brothers and sisters with Lao Liu and Chen Rui after a while.
In just over ten minutes of contact, Chen Rui and Lao Liu's evaluation of Han Rui has risen more than one level.
Although many memories of literature have been blocked, the history of martial arts and many 'novel' concepts are still in Han Rui's mind.
Whenever there is a wonderful situation, Han Rui occasionally says a few words, which can always make Chen Rui and Lao Liu praise him!
This is a young man with a deep background!
"I really didn't expect that this is actually Brother Han's first work, it's really amazing!"
Although he also knew during the conversation that this was Han Rui's first work, Lao Liu's evaluation of Han Rui did not decrease, but increased.
"No, no, Brother Liu has won the award."
Han Rui is really a little embarrassed, after all, this is the work of Jin Lao that he copied!
"Although it is the first work, Brother Han's story is definitely exciting enough, even compared to those veteran writers, so the price of this short story for Brother Han is 300 words per thousand, I don't know what Brother Han thinks?"
However, Chen Rui's eyes flickered, as if he had made a great determination, and directly quoted his price.
You must know that the standard for receiving articles in their Jianghu magazine is 100 to 300 words per 1,000 words, and 300 words per thousand words is already the peak, and many veteran authors can't get this price, let alone a price that a newcomer can get.
"Just listen to Brother Chen."
Han Rui wasn't too shocked, he came with Jin Lao's works, if it wasn't good.
Wouldn't that be a loss for Mr. Jin's face.
"Brother Han is talented, I don't know if Brother Han has any intention of coming to our magazine? Our magazine can open a column for Brother Han, how about it? ”
Chen Rui saw Han Rui responding, and began to ask tentatively.
"Brother Chen, I'm used to being free and careless, and I can't be restrained. In this way, as long as I have a suitable work, I will bring it to your company first, what do you think? ”
Han Rui gave Chen Rui a verbal guarantee.
"Cheng, I don't force it, this is the relevant agreement on "Yue Nu Sword", Brother Han has seen it."
Chen Rui still admires Han Rui very much, not to mention that Han Rui didn't say anything to death.
At present, there is one martial arts magazine by itself, and there are many opportunities for cooperation in the future, and Han Rui's works after such a young age will definitely be indispensable.
I took the agreement contract and read it a few times.
After Han Rui systematically reminded him in his mind that the contract had no hidden danger to him, his face became strange just as he was about to sign it.
"Ahem, in fact, two big brothers, I may not be able to sign this agreement for the time being."
Han Rui's face flushed and became a little embarrassed.
Yes.
At the last step of the negotiation, you don't have to pretend, and you have to sign a contract.
If you are not 18 years old, you have to sign on behalf of your guardian.
"What? Is Brother Han dissatisfied with any of them? ”
Chen Rui looked at Han Rui strangely.
Lao Liu was also surprised, after all, they had been chatting for so long, and they were very temperamental.
Why can't I sign it for the time being?
The two of them didn't think that Han Rui was old enough.
"Actually, my younger brother is only in his first year of high school this year, and he is under 18, you know...... Ahem, this agreement is invalid if I sign it myself......"
Han Rui really couldn't raise any momentum, thinking that his body was only sixteen years old after all, and he had been arguing with the two 'big brothers' in their forties for a long time, and finally told people that he was underage.
How embarrassing is that?
As for Chen Rui and Lao Liu, the whole person was directly petrified.
Although Han Rui looks very young, even a little immature, but through the communication of the three of them, the two of them definitely regard Han Rui as their peers.
However, this peer actually told himself that he was in his first year of high school?
He's not an adult yet?
Oh my God, this is crazy!
Until Han Rui was sent out of the magazine, Chen Rui and Lao Liu still couldn't control the surprised look on their faces.
After a long time, the two looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
"This kid is really a ghost!"
