Chapter 35 One Submission
Wang Qinian found the business card left by the editor of Relay Publishing House, dialed the phone number above and said, "Hey, are you the editor of Xiaomeng of Relay Publishing House?" ”
"I am? Who are you? "Pleasant voice, it sounds like Little Dream should be a young girl.
"I'm Wang Qinian, the top student in the science college entrance examination in TJ City last year, you seem to have selected my college entrance examination essay "Helping the Elderly" into a publication, right?" Wang Qinian said.
"Yes! Last year, we published this college entrance examination champion essay book, and a total of more than 6o college entrance examination champion essays were selected, and your "Helping the Elderly" is one of them. Of course, we have obtained your parental consent and paid the manuscript fee of 3oo yuan. Xiaomeng's editor thought that there was a publishing dispute, and quickly explained, "Basically, other college entrance examination essays are the standard of 15o yuan per essay." Your "Helping the Elderly" is very distinctive, so the manuscript fee is twice as much as other manuscripts! ”
"No, it's not for this matter, my parents collected the manuscript fee for the essay "Helping the Elderly", and I have no objection. Today, I'm calling because I want to submit an article to your company! Wang Qinian explained.
"What kind of post?" Editor Xiaomeng asked.
"A long novel, called 'The Gate of Destiny', is a novel of the same name that I planned. The film has already been licensed and production is scheduled to begin within the year. Wang Qinian said, "I want to cooperate with your society to publish, and when the film is released, the novel will be synchronized." In this way, we films, novels. Leverage each other's publicity to stimulate each other's sales and maximize benefits! ”
"What?!" The little dream editor looked a little out of shape. Movie...... What a tall and tall storage zài! Actually, it's still a novel of the same name in the movie, and it has to cooperate with the publishing house.
However, it is still easy to judge whether this matter is true or false, the film production license, which can be checked by radio and television, and whether the film is broken or not, can be inquired.
In addition, Wang Qinian, TJ's top science student, did not go to Peking University to go to Beiying, which also became the news hyped by the local media for half a year.
What kind of storage is Beiying? -- Cultivating celebrities, screenwriters, directors, and other characters in the film and television industry.
Come to think of it, this thing is very reliable!
"Wang, right? You can come over the manuscript, my email address is xxxxxxa, if you don't have an email address, you can go to the relay publishing house to submit the manuscript, or you can mail it. For the mailing address, you can refer to the address on the college entrance examination essay selection book. Recipient, fill in the editor-in-charge dream, so that the manuscript will be sent to me. I can read the manuscript, and the preliminary review can be passed. Then, it is reported to the editor, so that the editorial team leader and the editor-in-chief decide that they can't come out! Xiaomeng editor said.
"Okay, no problem, I'll still post it on my email!" Wang Qinian said with confidence in his manuscript.
Next, Wang Qinian passed the manuscript according to the email address given by Xiaomeng.
"The manuscript has been received, and the preliminary review result will be given within three days. Then, the second instance and the final trial can give the results within two months! Xiaomeng said.
Wang Qinian heard that this is the rule of the publishing house. The editor in charge is the first trial, and after that, the editor at the higher level must make the decision before it can be published. After all, publications have to pay a cost, and in the domestic illustrated book pricing is relatively low, and piracy is rife in an environment, genuine publications, making money is not so easy.
Therefore, each manuscript often needs to be reviewed again and again to judge that the risk of loss is not large, and then it will be published.
……
Relay Publishing House is a relatively young publishing house. It has only been 7 years since its establishment, but it has published nearly 1ooo books.
Many traditional large publishing houses do not pay attention to the protection of literary books, because such books do not guarantee income in drought and flood, and must participate in market competition.
However, Relay Publishing House, as an emerging publishing house, does not occupy a dominant position in the market of teaching materials, teaching aids and professional books, so it attaches more importance to publishing some books facing the consumer market.
After editor Xiaomeng received a call from Wang Qinian, the head of the editorial team in the office looked at it and quipped: "Is there a big writer who comes to submit?" ”
"It's not a big writer, it's the top student in last year's college entrance examination!" Xiaomeng said confidently.
"Oh?" The head of the editorial team smiled, but he didn't mean much seriousness. There are thousands of college entrance examination champions across the country every year, and it is difficult to have gimmicks if you use college entrance examination champions for marketing planning.
"The top student in the college entrance examination is different from other champions! He is the one, Wang Qinian, the top science student in TJ City, who did not go to Peking University and chose to apply for Beiying. Xiaomeng said.
"Oh? So what? "The editorial team leader still feels that the hype can't be up, and the gimmick is not enough.
"This Wang Qinian, after being admitted to Beiying, is ready to make a movie. The manuscript submitted is the novel of the same name of the movie! Xiaomeng smiled!
"What?! Make movies as freshmen! Impossible, right?! The head of the editorial team looked a little surprised. It's not uncommon to be admitted to film school, but just after being admitted to film school, I'm ready to make a movie, which is ridiculous! Even Zhang Yimou started making movies after graduation!
Wang Qinian said that the film has been filed and the film shooting permit has been obtained. This matter should be easy to inquire! Xiaomeng said.
"Hmm! If the movie is real and the quality of the novel is acceptable, let's get it out! The editorial team leader smiled, "As long as you really get the shooting permit, you can not be the top student in the college entrance examination of Peking University and Beijing Film, and direct and act in the movie." The version of the novel of the same name, published in advance, as a gimmick to entice readers to buy it! As for the movie, in the end, whether it can be released or not is none of our business! ”
Xiaomeng nodded, and printed the manuscript in the email address with a printer.
The whole novel of "The Gate of Destiny" is 2o million words, but Wang Qinian's submission only gave a 2ooo word outline and a 50,000-word beginning.
The length is not very long, Xiaomeng took the printer and just spit it out, a little hot paper, bound it into a book with a stapler, and after that, began to hold the manuscript and read it like a book.
When he got to the first page, Xiaomeng looked surprised.
The text of the novel is not ornate and exquisite, but it appears clean and neat, and it is easy for people to start reading the first paragraph and start to have an interest in reading.
Unlike some great writers, although the writing is good, it is so ostentatious that the writing becomes an obstacle that prevents the reader from immersing himself in the plot.
In addition to the unpretentious writing, which makes the reader feel very smooth and easy to read in one sitting. What's more critical is the plot of the novel, in fact, the plot of "The Gate of Destiny" is also quite innovative, which makes the publishing editors of this era feel amazing! Traditional writers who have accepted too much and have no highlights in the plot have submitted, and those massive, dull and maddening manuscripts are already torments for Xiaomeng.
However, the novel "The Gate of Destiny" saved her and made her feel the joy of reading again!
In the novel, the protagonist Wang Dazhui applied for the film academy, but failed. And the girl he had a crush on when he took the exam with him was admitted, and from then on, the two may never intersect again. However, Wang Dazhui accidentally obtained the space-time machine, and he only needed to press the switch to go back in time.
For the first time, Wang Dazhui went back to the past, because he knew the exam questions in advance, and he passed the guò exam. Originally, he wanted to confess to the girl he had a crush on, but the girl committed suicide. Because, Wang Dazhui was admitted and squeezed out her place. Next, in order to change the fate of his crush girl committing suicide, which he could not accept, the protagonist Wang Dazhui uses the time machine qì again to travel back to another timeline to change history......
Again and again, but due to the butterfly effect, he was not able to achieve a perfect life every time. So, he kept going back to the past and changing his fate.
Half an hour!
The little dream that was still leisurely drinking black tea has appeared...... The tea is actually cold! Because, she was so engrossed in reading that she forgot the passage of time.
Even, due to her sentimentality, she even left tears for the sensational episodes in the plot, and her eyes were a little moist.
"How's that, the draft?" The editorial team leader looked at this subordinate who was a little young with a little playfulness.
Xiaomeng's editor is a bit literate, and at the same time he is also very hardworking, and he has to read 5o million words almost every day. After more than a year in the industry, the number of words read has exceeded 100 million.
From a small literary youth to an editor with hundreds of millions of words, it stands to reason that it is not so easy to be moved.
However, this time, Xiaomeng's editor was moved to tears.
Is this difficult to be a god work?
"Not bad! The text is second-rate, however, a little creative! Xiaomeng didn't say too much, in fact, it's not just good, she is simply addicted to it and has become a fan of this novel. She hoped very much that this novel would pass Guò's subsequent review, so that she could read the following text.
"Oh, it's been the first trial. Give me a second trial! The editorial team leader laughed.
