With a passion, Wang Conglun returned to the editorial department of the newly listed martial arts edition, and the editors in the editorial department were all young people, but with infinite enthusiasm, they devoted themselves to the work of proofreading martial arts novels.

"Xiao Li, how many submissions did you receive today?" Wang Conglun patted Li Qiuyu, who was immersed in writing.

Li Qiuyu is a very poetic name, but in fact, his real name is Li Jianguo, Li Qiuyu is just a pseudonym as an editor, the editorial department of the martial arts version, of course, to follow the martial arts style, the editors here are basically pseudonyms. For example, what is lonely and I ran, suddenly like sending, Biwan pillow, Chu Tianluo, Ren Yuqiao, Mo Shubai and so on.

"Boss, I haven't picked up the letter yet." Li Qiuyu raised his head, he looked like Zhu Bajie, and it didn't match the name Li Qiuyu at all.

"Then go get it now, review it, and send it to my office."

After instructing Li Qiuyu, Wang Conglun asked several other editors about the work of proofreading.

Dugu I ran buttoned his glasses and said: "Boss, we have received some high-quality manuscripts, Xiao Linden's "Heroes in Troubled Times", Yang Rebellion's "Plum Shadow Burying Incense" are all very good, as well as Ye Run's "Qingmei Love and Hatred", and Yiqian's "Legend of New Weapons". There are also several famous artists from Hong Kong and Taiwan, and we have also made an appointment, and Wo Longsheng and Zhuge Qingyun have agreed to publish new works on our "Martial Arts Edition". ”

"That's it, the trial issue number depends on the level, the quality is the most important, but we also have to erect the banner of our local martial arts, so we will arrange three novellas, well, for two newcomers, and the remaining one for the famous ones, and we will brainstorm together to discuss which three to choose."

After sending the editors away, Wang Conglun returned to his office.

The desk is a little cluttered, and there are a lot of manuscripts, all of which are sent from all over the country, and many of them are actively requested by the editorial department, and the objects of the manuscripts are those writers who are mixed in under the banyan tree, Tianya Forum, Dragon Space and other places. In 2001, there were signs of a rise in the development of popular literature in China, but it was still chaotic.

There is no strong platform for development to give opportunities to those who have literary dreams.

Therefore, when I got the news that "Ancient Legends and Martial Arts Edition" was going to be published, many people came to contribute, but I really can't compliment this quality.

There were also four unreviewed manuscripts on the table, and although he learned from his subordinates that these four manuscripts were not of high quality, he still had to look at them himself.

This is the homework he must do as an editor-in-chief.

Of course, Wang Conglun also likes to read very much, and from the vast text, he has discovered a potential martial arts writer, which makes him very excited.

"Blade World? The name is domineering...... As soon as he appeared, he slept in the green building, is this really good...... Xiao Huangwen is okay, the writing is really unsightly, and there is no excitement at all, how can I choose you. ”

After reading the first draft, Wang Conglun sighed, the quality was too poor.

Then the second one was opened, and then the third one.

After reading the three letters, I sighed three times.

"The quality is really poor, how can you write good-looking martial arts without the slightest literary skills."

Thinking about it, Wang Conglun picked up the last envelope.

The last one, which still makes him sigh, is written like shit.

Annoying, boring.

Wang Conglun simply got up and left the office, preparing to go to the lounge outside to smoke a cigarette and change his mind. That's not good when you're an editor, you always have to force yourself to look at something that you can't swallow. It's like tasting poison, and if you're not careful, you'll die of poison.

And he could only laugh at himself: "In ancient times, Shennong tasted a hundred herbs, and now there is my Wang Conglun who reads a hundred manuscripts, and he can't say that he will leave a name in history in the future." ”

Li Qiuyu, who was smoking a cigarette and went to pick up the manuscript, came back.

"Boss, there are only these two letters sent to the editorial department of our martial arts edition." Li Qiuyu dangled two yellow envelopes in his hands.

"Are there only two letters, a little less...... Forget it, you guys review it first, and show it to me later. ”

"By the way, boss, when I went to pick up the manuscript just now, I saw that the editorial department of the story version was reading a manuscript, and many people praised it, it seemed to be a martial arts manuscript, I wanted to come, but they didn't give it to the editor."

"Is it, there is a martial arts manuscript?"

"Yes."

"Okay, you go get busy first, I'll go over for a while." Wang Conglun didn't care about smoking, swallowed most of it, extinguished the cigarette butt, and walked quickly to the editorial office of the story version.

Founded in 1981, "Ancient Legends" was founded by three artists with borrowed money, and a few years later, it became the largest literary journal in the country in terms of circulation, and by 1999, it was popular all over China with the series of ten marshals and ten generals, becoming the overlord of popular literary periodicals.

Last September, the magazine launched the Legend of the Ages, a story edition, which was a huge success, and this year's circulation has reached more than 250,000 copies per month, making it a myth in the magazine world.

With the success of the story version in the past, the inaugural issue of "Ancient Legends: Martial Arts Edition" is logical, but for Wang Conglun, "Story Edition" is both a template and a pressure, for fear that "Martial Arts Edition" will not be able to achieve the results of "Story Edition". Now that he heard that "Story Edition" had received a good martial arts draft, of course he couldn't let it go.

"Story Edition" used to publish martial arts works, but now that "Martial Arts Edition" is out, martial arts works must be based on "Martial Arts Edition"!

With such a thought, Wang Conglun rushed into the editorial office of the story version.

……

"Where is the martial arts manuscript? Where is the martial arts manuscript? After Wang Conglun entered the door, he shouted with the editor-in-chief of the story version.

The editor-in-chief of the story version glanced at Wang Conglun: "You are not busy in the editorial department of your martial arts version, what are you doing here?" ”

"I'm looking for a manuscript."

"Looking for a manuscript."

"Don't pretend to be confused with me, the manuscript of a martial arts novel."

"Find me for a martial arts manuscript, you are the "Martial Arts Edition"."

Wang Conglun was angry: "Lao Zhang, don't frame me, I know that you have received a good quality martial arts manuscript, just take it out, you also know that our "Martial Arts Edition" is a new creation, and we urgently need the support of good works. ”

"Xiao Wang, it's not right for you to say that, each family manages its own manuscripts, and people contribute to our "Story Edition", which means that they have taken a fancy to our "Story Edition", and we have the right of first choice." The editor-in-chief of the story version is surnamed Zhang, called Zhang Yiyuan, and he relied on the old to sell the old.

"You can't say that......"

"That's not what you say......"

The two editors-in-chief shouted at each other in the office for a while, and finally laughed.

The story version and the martial arts version are not too involved, they are both sub-magazines of "Ancient Legends", although there is competition with each other, but many editors of the martial arts version are diverted from the story version, and the incense exists. joked and bickered, but in the end, the editor-in-chief of the story version still asked people to bring the manuscript.

"This is it, it's well written, but it's a little short, you can take a look."

With great expectations, Wang Conglun took the manuscript that had been repacked in the envelope.

Before opening it, Wang Conglun skimmed the mailing address on the envelope by the way-Zhang Tan, the fifth class of senior high school in Shuangdun Middle School, Changfeng County, Anwei Province.

"A freshman in high school? A freshman in high school also writes martial arts! Alas! Wang Conglun's original expectation quickly cooled down, not that he looked down on high school students, but that high school students didn't even have social experience, how could they write well about interpersonal communication.

On the spot, Wang Conglun was a little suspicious that this was a farce specially created by the editorial department of the story version to tease him.

But thinking that they were not so boring, Wang Conglun patiently opened the envelope and turned out the letterhead.

On the red striped letterhead, the white paper is written in black and white, and the strokes are vigorous and powerful, which is very eye-catching.

Wang Conglun's eyes suddenly lit up, and he unconsciously commented: "Just for this handful of pen words, it is also worth reading and reading." ”
