Chapter 8: Betting
Seeing Liu Yun appear, the others hurriedly slipped back to their seats, and there was no way for Teacher Li to continue his words. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Liu Qing said this very well." Since Liu Yun appeared, her eyes didn't glance at Teacher Li at all, her slender Danfeng eyes stared at Liu Qing, and said, "Then what kind of books do you think are needed by current readers or the current market?" ā
"It's simple." Liu Qing had already thought of the answer in his heart, and said confidently: "Creative and innovative books!" ā
Nonsense!
Almost everyone said it in unison. Who doesn't know that the market needs creative, innovative books? But is creativity and novelty so simple?
For example, martial arts novels, the reason why such novels have been able to dominate the market for decades is because all the elements in the book, such as plot, content, and setting, are in line with the public's concept and approval.
Similarly, it is precisely because the previous setting was too successful that the later martial arts authors were unable to jump out of the previous circle.
It can only be within this circle setting, trying to create something new, but in the end, no one has tried to break the shackles and create something new - maybe someone has created it, but there is no past in the editing level.
Liu Yun shook her head slightly, Liu Qing's previous sentence that there is no one who has learned to be a teacher made her eyes shine, but then the words seemed calm and uninspiring.
"Creativity, novelty!"
Seeing Liu Yun's shaking of her head, Teacher Li took a step forward and said with a gloomy face, "Who wouldn't say such a thing?" Do you have the ability to innovate for me? Hum. ā
Liu Qing glanced at him straightly, and suddenly smiled, "Teacher Li, if you really think that I can just talk, then you are very wrong!" ā
"Hey, hey, then you're going to give me some innovation and let me see this 'old fool'?" Teacher Li immediately answered.
"Well said." Liu Qing said: "Then why don't we two gamble?" ā
"Bet on it!" Teacher Li said: "If I lose, I will serve you tea in front of all my colleagues in the publishing house to make amends, and respectfully call you Mr. Liu!" What if you lose? ā
Liu Qing laughed, "If I lose, I will immediately resign and leave Oriental Publishing House, how about it?" ā
"Good!"
Teacher Li had a smile on his face, sure enough, he was impulsive, and he didn't leave a way back for himself at all, in order to prevent Liu Qing from cheating, he thought for a while, and added: "There must be at least five or more editors who admit that you think there are 'creative' and 'new' books." ā
"Okay, no problem." Liu Qing nodded happily, and when he saw Liu Yun who was speechless, he rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "I'm adding, in addition to the five people, we have to add the recognition of Editor-in-Chief Liu." ā
"Hey, good!" Mr. Li was happy, compared to ordinary editors, as the editor-in-chief Liu Yun, his eyes were even more harsh, this kid was clearly looking for his own rhythm of death, he looked at Liu Yun expectantly, and said, "Mr. Liu, do you think this is okay?" ā
Liu Yun glanced at Liu Qing deeply and said lightly: "Okay, I agree." She turned and went back to her office.
Next, so the editors all returned to their seats, but, with the two of them making a bet, it was obvious that they were a little absent-minded while working.
"Liu Qing, why did you talk so much just now?"
Wang Xiaobo quietly came over, the two were about the same age, and their tempers were quite matched, and they were colleagues in the Oriental Publishing House who had a good relationship with Liu Qing.
"Hehe, I'm sure." Liu Qing smiled.
"Oh?" Wang Xiaobo's eyes lit up, "Could it be that you know a very powerful author?" Or maybe you've already discovered a creative book...... It seems that this must be the case, otherwise how could you kid be so sure! That's right, that's for sure! ā
"Ahem...... Excuse me. Liu Qing saw Wang Xiaobo, who was full of confidence, spread his hands, and said, "You guessed wrong." I'm just a young editor who has just started in the industry, how can I have good author resources? Besides, if the submitted manuscript was very creative, they would have discovered it a long time ago. ā
"Huh?" Wang Xiaobo was dumbfounded and frozen, "You don't have anything, where do you get your confidence?" ā
"Why is there nothing? Don't I still have myself? Liu Qing pointed to his nose, "I'll write a creative book by myself, won't I?" ā
Wang Xiaobo gasped and looked at him dumbfounded, "Liu Qing, your joke is really not ridiculous!" ā
