Chapter Ninety-Six: I'll Show You First
Hearing Su Wenchang say this, everyone else also gathered around curiously. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
For the earliest editor in the editorial room, Su Wenchang's level is known to everyone, his eyes are very picky, and his mouth is the most ruthless.
"Is this the opening word?"
Some people nodded again and again after watching this song "Man Jianghong", even in their critical eyes, this is a very good song.
"Marven, you may have picked up a treasure this time......"
Immediately, some people joked about Marven, as an editor, if you can review a very good novel, it is also very proud, it is a thing worth boasting about, if this novel can win an award in the end, then as the first editor to review, there will be a sense of honor.
Judging from the opening words of this poem called "Man Jianghong", this novel cannot be bad.
""The Criminal Officer of the Great Song Dynasty"? Is it a historical novel? ”
Since Yao Xueyin's "Li Zicheng" won the first Mao Dun Literature Award, there has been a popular trend of historical novels in the domestic creative circle.
And readers are also very popular with this type of novel.
The short novella includes Feng Jicai's "Divine Whip", and the first volume of "Kangxi Emperor" recently written by Ling Jiefang of hn has also caused a great sensation in the industry, and it is worth mentioning that Feng Jicai's "Divine Whip" was first published on their "Harvest".
"Looking at the name is like a historical novel......" Su Wenchang also echoed, and he also took the notebook directly and looked at it, "Song Ci? Who is this person? I've never heard of it......"
"I know."
After a few seconds, someone in the office spoke, and said with a smile: "A person who is not famous, from the Song Dynasty, wrote a book called "Records of Clearing Grievances", but there are very few records about him, and the time was also very tight when the "History of the Song Dynasty" was compiled, so many things have not been verified much, and there is not much record about his deeds in the "History of the Song Dynasty......"
"And how do you know?"
Many people were a little curious when they heard this, since there is no record in the history of the Song Dynasty, how can you be so clear.
“…… When I was in the library for ten years, I usually had nothing to do, so I liked to read some miscellaneous books, I remember reading a copy of "Song Shiyi" written by Lu Xinyuan of the Qing Dynasty, and there was a record about him in the biography of the followers, saying that he was both civil and military, almost comparable to Jiaxuan Gong......"
Jiaxuan Gong is said to be Xin Qiji, brave and strategic, coupled with the long and short sentences of Jiaxuan that are comparable to Su Shi's words in the literary world, his status among Chinese historical celebrities is extremely high.
When everyone heard this, they also let out exclamations, but they didn't expect that a character they had never heard of would have such a big background.
And those five notebooks have been picked up by different people.
Marvin took the last one.
He thinks that according to the author's practice of writing books, a general essay is usually written at the beginning or end of the book to explain what the book is about.
Since there was no beginning, he looked directly at the end.
Sure enough, at the end, there was a short biography of Song Ci written by this author, not much, three or four hundred words, and as an editor Marven read things very quickly, just a few glances, and then read this small biography aside.
“…… This Song Ci is really amazing, this author said that he is a famous forensic science expert in the Southern Song Dynasty, and he is also recognized as the founder of forensic identification in the world, and his "Collection of Grievances" is still the world's earliest forensic science monograph! Marven said again and again, raising the notebook in his hand.
"Really?"
"Forensic science? What is it? Cadaver Detection? ”
"This Song Ci is still so powerful?"
As soon as I heard Marven say this, the discussion in the office became even more enthusiastic.
"This "Da Song Ti Criminal Officer" is written by Song Ci? What is the official position of a criminal officer? Did the Song Dynasty have this official position? ”
"Definitely......"
When everyone was discussing one by one, Su Wenchang had already taken the first notebook and looked at it seriously, at first he planned to just roll it casually, but he didn't expect that as soon as he looked at the content of a few pages, he was immediately attracted by the content of the book.
As an editor, he reads books very quickly.
It almost didn't take a few glances to read a page, and when everyone was amazed and discussing Song Ci, he had already read almost twenty pages quickly.
"What a man's life is bigger than the sky!"
Su Wenchang let out a sigh of surprise and admiration, then he closed the notebook in his hand, and then directly 'snatched' the other four from the hands of several people around him, and said to Marven with a smile.
"Marven, I'll read this book for you first, and you can take care of your own business first......"
After speaking, Su Wenchang turned around and left.
"Hey......"
Seeing Su Wenchang's reaction, the others were also surprised, and Marven also hurriedly stopped the other party: "I said Mr. Su, you can't do this, the editor-in-chief asked me to read it as soon as possible and choose a few wonderful excerpts for the next issue of the magazine!" This can't be delayed......"
"Excerpts?"
Su Wenchang frowned when he heard this, turned his head to look at Marven, and asked, "The editor-in-chief hasn't read this book?" He didn't say if he wanted to be serialized? ”
"Look at the old man's tone at that time, I shouldn't have seen it......" As soon as he was halfway through the words, Marven suddenly thought that Lao Su's words just now seemed to be a little wrong, and he looked surprised.
"Teacher Su, you said that this book is qualified for serialization?"
Magazines like "Harvest" are not like those that specialize in serializing novels, they rarely serialize novels, after all, the space is limited, and the quality of books that can be qualified for serialization must be extremely outstanding.
Su Wenchang listened to Marven's question and laughed: "You haven't read this book, so you decided to find the excerpt directly, but fortunately I flipped through it, otherwise a good book would be ruined by you......"
Saying that, Su Wenchang paused for a moment and said in a very affirmative tone: "...... Just the 20,000 words I just read, probably, the level is very high, and it is fully qualified for serialization, but how to be specific, I still have to read the book and talk about it, after all, I haven't seen the anticlimactic work before. ”
After speaking, Su Wenchang asked Marven again: "Didn't the editor-in-chief say that this book can not be serialized?" ”
Marven was stunned when he heard it.
He nodded and said, "The editor-in-chief said, let me read it first, if you think it's good, let you and Teacher Sun Sheng review the manuscript again, if it's really well written, then serialize." But I didn't think about it at the time, and you are so busy with Mr. Sun, I guess I'm just looking for you, and you're going to call me back......"
Hearing Marven say this, Su Wenchang suddenly laughed.
"Look at what you're saying, it's really a good book, I haven't read it yet? That's it, I'll take a look at this book first......"
As he spoke, Su Wenchang took the five notebooks and returned to his place, and after filling the tea in his cup, he looked at it seriously.
"Is this really that good?"
Marven, who hadn't seen this novel called "The Criminal Officer of the Great Song Dynasty", looked at Su Wenchang's extremely serious demeanor, and couldn't help but have an extremely doubtful thought in his heart.
