At two o'clock in the afternoon, the editorial department of "Youth Daily". Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

After lunch and a little rest, Wang Bo returned to his work desk again.

As a review editor of the newspaper, his daily work is to review the various manuscripts submitted by the author to the "Youth Daily". It is necessary to see whether the political views of the submitted articles are correct, whether they conform to the relevant laws and regulations of the party and the state, and whether the articles have a certain market value.

Finally, if there are no problems with the above articles, he should also make an estimate of the manuscript according to the academic status, fame, sales of past books, etc., and make a reference for the editor-in-chief.

Of course, with his current level and status, he usually passes directly as many editors-in-chief as he gives.

Wang Bo has been in the industry for three years, and has done a good job in these aspects, excavating a lot of excellent works, and is very valued by the editor-in-chief, and has been praised by the society many times, so the editor-in-chief has a large range of pricing for him, as long as it is not too difficult to locate the works, he can operate freely.

Sit down in his seat and turn on the computer, Wang Bo saw that the computer prompted a new email, and then saw that the sender's name was written Qin Ge, Wang Bo immediately clicked in.

Just now, Su Xue, a reporter from the club, talked to him on the phone, saying that Qin Ge would send the novel he wanted to serialize in "Youth Daily" to himself, and let him help read it as soon as possible. At that time, he was eating, and he didn't deal with it, but now when he opens the computer, the mail comes.

Because of "The Farthest Distance in the World" and "Hurry" and "The Emperor's New Clothes" to be published in the new issue of "Youth Daily" tomorrow, Qin Ge is now a famous person in the entire "Youth Daily".

He also attaches great importance to the next cooperative with Qin Ge, so Wang Bo has also become cautious about Qin Ge's submission, so he will read this article carefully, rather than skimming it roughly like ordinary readers' contributions.

He clicked on Qin Ge's email with great anticipation, wanting to see what kind of surprise this young man who had been talked about in the club recently would bring him.

""Ghost Blows the Lamp"? Is this a paranormal text? Poetry, fairy tales, prose, supernatural, this guy has a really big span, can he write well? Wang Bo swept the title, a little surprised, but at the same time, he looked forward to it more, the previous three articles have proved that this guy is good at the first three types, so is he also good at this suspense?

With surprise and curiosity in his heart, Wang Bo clicked in, and then he saw the introduction of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp": tomb robbing is not a dinner party, not a fuss, not a painting and embroidery, not so elegant, so calm, courteous, so gentle and frugal, tomb robbing is a technology, a technology for destruction.

……

"Well, it's a bit interesting, it looks like this is to combine tomb robbing and supernatural spirits, which is quite a novel way of writing, and the entry point is not bad."

After reading the introduction, Wang Bo probably knew the specific direction of Qin Ge's "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", and he felt that this setting was slow and novel, but he didn't know what was written later.

With this thought, Wang Bo began to read the text of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", the first chapter, the white paper man: My grandfather's name is Hu Guohua, the ancestor of the Hu family is a rich man in ten miles and eight townships, and in the glory period, he bought more than 40 houses connected to three alleys in the city.

……

"That seems a bit bland at first, huh?" After reading the first few paragraphs, Wang Bo frowned slightly, feeling that there was nothing out of the ordinary? It's like writing about the legendary life of your grandfather.

"Compared with the previous three articles, this "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" is not amazing at all." Wang Bo was a little puzzled, this contrast seems to be a bit big, is it really greedy and can't chew it?

However, although he was slightly disappointed in his heart, Wang Bo still continued to look at it, however, this look directly overturned his previous thoughts.

When I read [What should Hu Guohua do if he wants to keep her at night and become a living person, it is better for me to burn it clean. Resist the white paper man to the yard, take out the fire fold, and want to burn the paper man, when the paper man suddenly spoke: "You have no conscience, I am kind enough to help you, but you want to burn me!" At this time, Wang Bo suddenly shivered, and a cool air rushed to the top of his head, and he felt his hair suddenly stand up.

Wang Bo had goosebumps all over his body, and subconsciously looked around, although the air conditioner was on 26C, he still felt that the whole room suddenly became much colder!

Wang Bo's eyes became focused, he read further, and when he read that the paper man said that he wanted to marry Hu Guohua, he was shocked again.

"I've only heard that the living force the living to marry the dead, does this guy want to write that the dead force the living to marry?" Wang Bo suddenly felt a chill down his spine, guessing the plot below, and he was even more curious about the plot below.

It's the first chapter, it's already very outstanding, and I believe it won't be bad later, Wang Bo continued to read.

At first, he commented from time to time, but unconsciously, he actually regarded himself as a reader and was completely attracted by the story.

……

30,000 words is not a long time, even if Wang Bo reads it word by word, it won't take long.

After reading all the submissions given by Qin Ge, Wang Bo pondered for a moment, sighed and said, "Alas, it's really an all-rounder, if you don't accept it, you can't do it!" That's so well written! ”

However, then Wang Bo fell into confusion again, because he was going to price this "Ghost Blowing the Lantern".

This "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" is naturally very well written, if it is purely supernatural, he will definitely not hesitate to offer a price of 100 words per 100, which is the greatest authority given to him by the editor-in-chief, and it is also the limit of the price of a newcomer.

The first few chapters seem to be supernatural, but when he saw the back, he also saw that Qin Ge's novel was combined with tomb robbery, and no one had written it like this before, and he didn't know what the effect would be after serialization, so he couldn't make up his mind about the price of this "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" for a while.

So Wang Bo had no choice but to dial the phone number of the editor-in-chief Liang Tianhong.

"Hey, Bob, what's wrong, call me?" Liang Tianhong's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"The editor-in-chief is great, that Qin Ge has come to manuscript, a supernatural article. Well, to be precise, it's a combination of supernatural and tomb robbing, a very novel setting. Naturally, the article has nothing to say, it is very well written and wonderful. It's just that no one seems to have written this kind of article before, and I don't know what the market prospect is, I don't know how to price it, I'll send it to you, you can take a look and give a price! Wang Bo said modestly.

"Oh? Is that Qin Ge? Liang Tianhong asked.

"Yes, it's him."

"Oh, it's him! Xiaobo, don't worry about giving it boldly, I will give you the permission of 20 to 200 thousand words, don't be afraid, I can trust your vision. Isn't the purpose of our "Youth Daily" to receive articles always be 'the amount of manuscript fee should be based on the value of the article, the standard of being popular with readers, and not the standard of fame', you just look at it. Liang Tianhong said, obviously, he still recognized Wang Bo's ability.

Furthermore, the main reason is that he doesn't like the supernatural, so he doesn't want to watch it.

"Thank you, editor-in-chief, but I really don't dare to price this article, you better take a look, I've already sent it to you." Wang Bo said as he forwarded the email sent by Qin Ge to Liang Tianhong.

"Okay, since it's sent, I'll take a look and see what kind of supernatural things he can write, even you don't dare to set a price." Liang Tianhong is actually quite curious about what kind of article Qin Ge will come up with to officially cooperate with "Youth Daily". So although he didn't like the supernatural, he also had the idea of taking a look after Wang Bo sent it over.

"Okay, then editor-in-chief, you can be careful, don't be scared." Wang Bo said.

"you, I don't like to see the supernatural, and I'm not afraid, hang up." Liang Tianhong scolded with a smile, and then hung up the phone.

""Ghost Blows the Lamp"? The name is good, and it has a bit of flavor. Liang Tianhong opened the email and began to review Qin Ge's manuscript.

In about thirty minutes, Liang Tianhong finished reading the first eight chapters of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern".

Even if he doesn't like the supernatural, Liang Tianhong has to say that this book is very good, so he decided to sign this book without hesitation.

Because he knew that this book would be popular, popular, and it might cause a storm.

Although it is not his cup of tea that the book is well written for his personal taste, he is an editor, a professional editor, after all.

For a professional editor, if you like a book, it doesn't mean that you should sign it and give him a high price; Reviewing a book you hate is not the same as dragging the book directly into the recycle bin, everything should be combined with the market and linked to the value of the novel itself.

Separating personal emotions from work is the review attitude that a professional editor should have, and it is also the foundation of being a good editor.

So, Liang Tianhong, who had finished reading the draft, dialed Wang Bo's phone.

"Hey, Bob! In this way, I read the manuscript, and it was very good. You hurry up and ask the contracted editor to contact this Qin Ge, and you must sign this "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", a thousand words...... Just give a thousand words and three hundred first, and you can decide for yourself the fluctuations within a hundred, you don't need to ask me, in short, you must sign this novel. ”

"What? Three hundred words per thousand, fluctuating within a hundred? Editor-in-chief, he's still a newcomer! Although "The Furthest Distance in the World" is very popular, "Hurry" and "The Emperor's New Clothes" will definitely be popular after tomorrow. But even so, he's still a newcomer, are you sure you really want to sign him with a thousand words and 300 words? Wang Bo asked in surprise, he didn't expect the editor-in-chief to be so generous.

"If I hadn't thought about it, I would have given him a thousand words. Think about it, what is the potential of a person who can write the three articles you just said and who can write such a great supernatural novel? We seem to have signed him with 300 words now, which seems to be a bit of a loss, but you have to know the truth of the long stream. We don't know where his limit is at all, if he writes martial arts, science fiction, and fairy tales of the same quality...... And then he signed up with our newspaper, and I couldn't imagine how much value he could create. So you should contact him quickly and show our sincerity. "Liang Tianhong is worthy of being the editor-in-chief, and he always looks at the problem in the long term.

And, this time, he really saw it accurately.

"Editor-in-chief, I understand, I'll do it."

Wang Bo is also very smart, and he will pass Liang Tianhong at a moment's notice.

Potential, this Qin Ge's potential is endless.

"Okay, you guys ...... as soon as possible Forget it, I'll go with you, right? We will talk to him in person, and you ask Su Xue for his contact information and address. Let's go now. Liang Tianhong's tone was a little urgent.

"Editor-in-chief, you!" Wang Bo was shocked.

The editor-in-chief prescribes three hundred words for a thousand words, but he still has to go to this Qin Ge in person to negotiate the signing, you must know that the editor-in-chief of "Youth Daily" personally went out to work, which is a treatment that only well-known people in the industry have!

"Don't be surprised, hurry up and do it, I don't know if he has submitted it to other families, and you must not let others sign this "Ghost Blowing the Lantern"." Liang Tianhong urged, and then opened his mouth with some worry, afraid that Qin Ge would submit more drafts and then other newspapers or magazines would sign this "Ghost Blowing the Lamp".
