After talking to Zhao Yan on the phone, Zhou Yun put down the phone and hurriedly went to her aunt Zhou Xiaoyun's office to find Zhou Xiaoyun, although it was lunch break at this time, but with her understanding of her aunt, her aunt should also be in the office during the lunch break.

Sure enough, when Zhou Yun knocked on the door, her aunt's voice came from the office.

"Please come in!"

"Auntie!"

Zhou Yun immediately pushed open the door and walked in, and saw her aunt sitting behind her desk reading a document as she expected.

Zhou Xiaoyun raised her eyes and saw that it was her niece Zhou Yun, showed a little smile, and asked gently: "Xiaoyun!" Is there something wrong? Drink water and pour it yourself! ”

"Thank you, Auntie! Aunt! Iwami got in touch with it! ”

Zhou Yun couldn't wait to report her results just now, Zhou Xiaoyun listened to her quietly, nodded, and asked a question: "Did he agree to submit to us?" ”

"Hmm!" Zhou Yun nodded vigorously with joy.

Zhou Xiaoyun smiled: "Not bad! Well done! When he sends the manuscript over, remember to forward a copy to me, and we'll try to ...... No! We try to get back to him within three days and quote him our offer! Fight to sign a contract for his new book! ”

Zhou Yun nodded again in a happy mood: "Auntie, don't worry!" I will definitely do my best! ”

……

Since he agreed to contribute, Zhao Yan did not delay the time, after returning to the dormitory from the cafeteria, he copied 60,000 words from his manuscript and put it in a newly built document, without writing an outline, nor describing the selling point of the book, and directly sent the manuscript to the email account sent to him by Zhou Yun.

Within two minutes of the end of the call in the cafeteria, Zhou Yun sent him her work email.

After Zhou Yun came out of her aunt's office, she logged in to her mailbox on her computer, knowing that as long as a new email came in, the mailbox would be automatically reminded, but she still couldn't help but refresh the page of the mailbox every once in a while.

During half a lunch break, she didn't know how many times she had refreshed, and after another refresh, she hadn't seen a new email coming in in the mailbox, Zhou Yun's anticipatory mood couldn't help but gradually decline, and she sighed unconsciously, she was already wondering if Iwami was perfunctory on the phone before.

"Ding Dong!"

The computer suddenly made a crisp ding-dong sound, and Zhou Yun's disappointed expression suddenly lit up, and he immediately looked up to see the interface of the mailbox.

"You have a new email!"

The line of prompt words in the small box that popped up above the inbox lifted Zhou Yun's spirits, and she quickly controlled the mouse to click on the inbox, and the new email title displayed at the top of the inbox almost made her cheer excitedly.

"Tenryu Babu" Submission - Iwami"

"Yay!!"

Zhou Yun clenched his fists, and his excitement was beyond words.

Quickly clicked on the email, downloaded the document of the manuscript of "Dragon Babu", and was about to double-click to click on it to continue reading this story that interested her very much, when she suddenly thought of her aunt's instructions, and quickly copied a copy of the manuscript and sent it to her aunt, and then she rubbed her hands and began to read the next plot after the third chapter.

Zhou Yun gradually quieted down, and when her thoughts gradually immersed in the storyline of "Dragon Babu", her sitting posture almost no longer changed, except for controlling the mouse to pull down the document from time to time, there was no other movement in her hand.

The expression on her face, with the change of the plot, is happy for a while, sad for a while, and nervous for a while, she is like an actor in a movie in the silent film era, without words, only using expressions to express her emotions, joys, angers, sorrows, and joys.

Unconsciously, the afternoon work time came, and I heard the footsteps and talking sounds in the office area from time to time, Zhou Yun just glanced up at the beginning, and was stunned to realize that the time to go to work had come, she thought about it, and then continued to read the story of "Dragon Babu", anyway, this manuscript also has to be reviewed, and my aunt said that she would strive to reply to Iwami within three days, so she hurried up to read this manuscript, which can be regarded as a legitimate job.

The feeling of being able to balance public and private affairs gave her a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.

At almost two o'clock in the afternoon, Zhou Yun finally read all the more than 60,000 words sent by Zhao Yan, in fact, she usually reviews the manuscript very quickly, tens of thousands of words of manuscripts, sometimes you can make a judgment just by reading the first chapter in the front.

Even if she finished reading it all, it would take her less than half an hour to see ten lines at a glance, but this time it took more than two hours.

Zhou Yun herself knew the reason, when she reviewed other manuscripts, she was too slow to read ten lines at a glance, but when she read the manuscript of "Tianlong Babu", she was reluctant to skip a sentence, so she wanted to enjoy it for a while, because she knew in her heart that this manuscript was only about 60,000 words, and she had already finished reading the first three chapters of more than 10,000 words this morning, such a good book, if she finished reading it in a while, and wanted to see the plot behind it, even if she was the review editor of Kyushu Reading, I am afraid she would not be able to see it in a short time.

(She thought that Zhao Yan only had such a small amount of manuscripts at hand, and if she wanted to see the content behind, she had to wait for Zhao Yan to write it out slowly.) ）

The quality of "Dragon Babu" amazed her, and she couldn't put it down.

There is not a single typo, it is difficult to find a place where the grammar is used wrongly, even the description of the scenery that should be boring, Zhou Yun is reluctant to skip a sentence, the smooth feeling flowing between the lines, the artistic conception of the picture scroll, let her truly appreciate the beauty of words and the charm of novels.

When she finally finished reading all the words in the document, Zhou Yun felt a sense of regret in her heart again as if she had finished reading the three chapters in the morning.

The plot is progressing to the wonderful part, but it comes to an abrupt end, and the subsequent plot is gone, and the feeling of wanting to continue watching but can't see it again makes her itch.

It was also at this time that after reading the manuscript, Zhou Yun had time to review the content of the 60,000 words, closed her eyes slightly, and in her mind, the plot in the 60,000 words was very clear in her mind like a movie picture.

Dali Duan's Family, Duan Yu, Shizi, Wuliang Mountain Wuliang Sword Sect, Zhong Ling, Wanjiao Valley, Qiaoyao Fork Ganbaobao, Black Rose, Mu Wanqing......

Everything seems so real, Zhou Yun feels that this book is even better than the well-received "Smiling Proud Jianghu", maybe the character of Duan Yu makes the whole plot seem sunny and brisk, right?

Hmm, Zhong Ling and Mu Wanqing are also two bright colors.

Looking at the manuscript in the mailbox, although Zhou Yun has sighed many times, she still can't help but sigh again Zhao Yan's talent, how can he write such an excellent work at the age of 18?

"I don't know how that guy's brain grows......"

Sighing, Zhou Yun quietly glanced at the other colleagues who were working in the office area, hesitated, but still couldn't hold back, straightened her collar, coughed lightly, got up and walked to her aunt's office.

She just finished reading the manuscript of "Dragon Babu", and she was interested in sharing the plot with others, and now she wants to know if her aunt has read this manuscript, and if she does, how does her aunt feel? How much are you going to give Iwami a thousand words?

It can be said that Kyushu Reading was able to discover Zhao Yan's new book so quickly, which is completely due to her Zhou Yun, so her enthusiasm for signing this book is unparalleled.

"Knock knock!"

Walking to the door of her aunt's office, Zhou Yun glanced back at the office area, several people were looking at her curiously, Zhou Yun smiled back, and then knocked on the door.

"Enter!"

Zhou Xiaoyun's voice.

Zhou Yun pushed the door in, and looked at her aunt for the first time, she was looking forward to her aunt also staring at the computer screen at this time to read the manuscript of "Dragon Babu".

But what disappointed her was that her aunt was signing a publication application, and her eyes were not on the computer, and the disappointment in Zhou Yun's heart couldn't hide it on her face.

Zhou Xiaoyun glanced up at her, still signing a document in his hand, seeing the disappointment on Zhou Yun's face, Zhou Xiaoyun chuckled lightly and asked casually, "What's wrong?" Xiao Yun? What's your expression? Is there anything you want to report to me? ”

"Auntie!"

Zhou Yun shouted first, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Auntie!" I sent you the draft of "Dragon Babu", have you read it? ”

"This one...... After looking at it a little, the quality is ok! ”

Zhou Xiaoyun said casually, understatement, unfazed, Zhou Yun did not find a trace of emotional fluctuations in her expression, as if she was evaluating a novel of ordinary quality.

Zhou Yunying's lips opened slightly, her hands unconsciously raised and lowered, hesitating and hesitating, entangled, Zhou Yun was depressed, uneven and angry.

Zhou Xiaoyun glanced at her again, seeing the complicated expression on her face, she wanted to say something but it was difficult to say, Zhou Xiaoyun was amused.

Laughed and said, "What's wrong?" Xiao Yun? What's your expression? If you have anything to say to your aunt, just say it directly! Do you still need to see your aunt? ”

Zhou Yun took a deep breath, raised his right hand, opened his mouth, and finally asked, "Auntie!" Did you pay attention? You, do you really think the quality of this book is just okay? You—Don't you think this book is very well written, very good? Such a good book, do you think it's okay? ”

Zhou Yun finished asking everything she wanted to ask in one go, Zhou Xiaoyun, who was still bowing her head to sign, looked up at her in surprise, carefully examined Zhou Yun's expression in her eyes, thought about it, put down the signature pen in her hand, took off the glasses on the bridge of her nose, rubbed the bridge of her nose with two white fingers, squinted at Zhou Yun, chuckled twice, and said, "Hehe, it turns out that there are different opinions!" Little rhyme! My aunt just said, I only read a little, three or four chapters! The main character is a royal prince, right? Don't you think it's a bit too high-minded for this setting? Still, it's okay! Iwami's pen power is not bad.,So it feels okay to read.,A son who doesn't know martial arts.、A scholar who has no power to tie the chicken inadvertently broke into the struggle of a martial arts sect.,Well,I'm only seeing here.,The heroine is also a little girl.,The quirky kind.,Xiaoyun! Don't you think that such a setting of the hero and heroine can only please some readers? Hehe! Little rhyme! You've only been an editor for a while, so it looks like you'll need to continue to gain experience! My aunt can see that you personally like this book, but your personal tastes represent the tastes of most readers, have you ever thought about your preferences, maybe only the preferences of a small number of readers? Right? ”

Zhou Yun was a little stunned by what her aunt said, she didn't expect her aunt to analyze the quality of this book from this perspective, it sounds very reasonable.

She has been a review editor for so long, so she naturally has some experience.

Truly! Her experience has taught her that the main character of a book should resonate with most readers, or a sense of substitution.

For this reason, Zhou Yun knew that some writers had said this: The height of the protagonist is best blurred, the protagonist of one meter seven, the sense of substitution of readers above one meter seven will be worse, and the sense of substitution of readers below one meter eight will be different, so the protagonist should be one person tall.

When Zhou Yun heard these words at that time, he thought carefully about the mystery.

In the end, she came to the conclusion that the image and identity of the protagonist should be similar to that of the general public, so that more readers can smoothly assume the role of the protagonist from the beginning, and then develop an interest in continuing to read.

This is also the main reason why the protagonists of most martial arts novels are weak chickens at the beginning, and the protagonists of few martial arts works are martial arts league masters or a generation of heroes or something from the beginning.

Because of that setting, the identity of the protagonist seems to be high, so that many readers can't substitute for the role.

Similar reasoning, the setting of the heroine also needs to fit the image of most men's dream lovers as much as possible, like Zhong Ling, the heroine who appeared in front of "Dragon Babu", (only saw the first 60,000 words, Zhou Yun also thought that Zhong Ling was the first heroine.) Zhong Ling's quirky personality, and he also fed the lightning marten with snakes, Zhou Yun thinks about it now, such a heroine setting really can't please most readers.

"But ......"

Although intellectually she felt that what her aunt said made sense, emotionally, Zhou Yun still felt that Iwami's new book was of good quality, and couldn't help but argue: "But, aunt! This book is really good! I lost track of time when I read it, and I think this book is better than "Smiling Proud Jianghu"! Aunt! I think you should have read it all! If you've read it all, you won't think the quality of the book is just okay! Really aunt! You trust me! ”

Zhou Xiaoyun smiled and put the glasses back on his face, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay!" Don't stress it to me like that! My aunt didn't say that this book was bad, and my aunt just said that the quality of this book was okay! I have already sent the manuscript to Li Tong for review, so that's it! Auntie will tell you the bottom first! Hehe, if Li Tong also thinks that the quality of this book is okay after review, my aunt guarantees that the price for Iwami will not be lower than his "Smiling Proud Jianghu"! So, you should rest assured, right? Hehe! ”

"Really?"

Zhou Yun blinked her eyes, although she still felt a little disappointed in her aunt's low evaluation of this book, but she was still a little surprised and happy when she heard that her aunt planned to give Iwami no less than the price of "Smiling Proud Jianghu".

It's just that although she thinks so in her heart, she still feels that something is wrong.

It didn't make her fully happy. (To be continued.) )
