136 clappers

Ma Youwei was finally persuaded by Chen Beiming.

The first is that Chen Beiming's reasons are too convincing, and second, in fact, it is also the most critical, that is, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is something he really likes, the more he reads it, the more he likes it, and the more he watches it, the more he wants to watch it.

At 10:30 p.m., Ma Youwei returned to the "October" magazine.

"Pony, got it?" When the president saw him return, he stood up suddenly, his eyes lit up.

"Got it." Ma Youwei shook the manuscript paper in his hand.

Crash.

In the office, a group of editors and staff members who were busy with their heads bowed stood up and gathered around.

"I'll see!"

"Show me!"

"What did Xiaoshan write this time?"

Everyone wants to get a sneak peek.

"Okay, okay, don't grab it, if you rob the manuscript paper, no one can bear this responsibility!" The president patted the table in warning.

Hearing this, everyone's hearts calmed down and they didn't dare to move.

"So, pony, you read it to everyone." The president clapped.

"Okay."

"That's good!"

"Teacher Ma, wait a minute, don't read it yet, I'll go get a glass of water!" Someone shouted.

"Yes, yes, I'll make a cup of tea first!"

"I want tea too."

Everyone hurriedly dispersed, each brought their own teacups, and then came to Ma Youwei to find a place to sit down, and those who came behind had no seats, so they simply stood.

Everyone wants to know what kind of article Chen Beiming wrote this time? Is it still a military theme? Or is it an urban emotional theme?

"Cough-cough-" Ma Youwei cleared his throat, and then read aloud:

"Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

The rolling Yangtze River is passing away, and the waves are sweeping away the heroes. Success or failure turns empty.

The green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red several times. On the white-haired fisherman river, accustomed to watching the autumn moon and spring breeze. A pot of turbid wine is happy to meet. How many things in ancient and modern times are laughing and talking.

——Dispatch "Linjiang Immortal"

In the first chapter, the three heroes of Taoyuan were feasted, and the heroes of the Yellow Turban were the first to make meritorious contributions.

Speaking of the general trend of the world, it will be together for a long time, and it will be divided for a long time. At the end of the week, the Seven Kingdoms were divided and merged into the Qin ....."

Ma Youwei finished reading these sentences in a subdued manner, and suddenly noticed that the atmosphere in the air was a little wrong, so he quickly stopped and looked up.

In front of him, the president opened his mouth wide.

Several editors widened their eyes.

The rest of the staff is like sculptures.

It's like the air doesn't flow anymore, it's all frozen!

After a moment, the president said, "Pony, you got the wrong draft, right?" Why are all the Song words come out? ”

Other staff members chimed in: "Teacher Ma, you are too careless, how can you take out all the classical Chinese." ”

Ma Youwei patiently explained: "I'm not wrong, this is really the manuscript that Xiaoshan gave me, don't be busy jumping to conclusions, listen to me read these tens of thousands of words first." ”

Ma Youwei no longer takes into account everyone's feelings, and begins to read aloud in a low tone, the more he reads, the more excited he becomes, and in the end, he even dances with his hands, reads the happy place, keeps waving his fists, and reads the sad place, then the voice is painful and heartbroken.

Whew-

After reading all the manuscripts, Ma Youwei raised his head and let out a long breath, only to feel that his chest was extremely happy, like drinking a glass of spirits.

"I wonder what the plot is like next?" Ma Youwei was extremely curious.

For the first time in his life, he knew that there were so many interesting people and things in the last years of the Han Dynasty.

"What do you think?" Ma Youwei looked at everyone expectantly.

But everyone stopped talking, just looking at one by one, as if they all had something to say, but they didn't dare to say it.

"Everybody talk about it." The president encouraged, and after a while, he found that no one spoke, so he took the initiative to say, "Okay, I'll say it first." ”

After taking a sip of water, the president said: "This, from a literary point of view, is undoubtedly quite good, whether it is the language or the storyline, it is good, but the problem is, this is written in history, and it is written in the language of semi-vernacular and semi-literal Chinese, can readers accept it?" Don't forget, our October is just a popular literary magazine? ”

As soon as the president's words came out, boom, the room exploded.

"That's it! The president was so right that he pointed out the root of the problem at once! ”

"Although this "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is good, it is not suitable for our magazine at all!"

"We can't publish something like this, readers won't like it!"

This is the opinion of the majority.

However, there are also people who object: "I think this is very good, whether it is a story or a literary, it is very good, the president, Mr. Ma, and colleagues, since our "October" is rushing to go public, then we should let people see the courage and potential of our magazine, the martial arts market has been saturated, there are more than a dozen kinds of martial arts magazines alone, we can't get involved, urban emotion, I think our magazine is not an opponent like "Bosom Friend" at all, as for other categories, we are not good at it, But if we can use this to open up the market for historical popular literature, our magazine will have a lot to offer, don't forget, many of our editorial teachers here are history majors, and many of our current contributing authors are also good at this subject! ”

The editor's voice fell, and the other one chimed in: "Yes, I also think this can be published." ”

At this time, an old man in his fifties stood up: "I am against it! He shouted loudly, and then looked around: "Everyone, don't forget what period we are in now, we are preparing to go public, and we are being dug up by the major media crazy interpretation, if we publish this type at this time, first, readers will not buy it, second, the capital market will think that we have no author resources, so we will randomly grab a history to make up the number, in this way, how will the outside world see us!" ”

"That's right! Mr. Li is so right! ”

"Yes, we can't publish this!"

Everyone was hustle and bustling again.

"Enough!" Ma Youwei, who hadn't spoken much, suddenly let out a loud voice, and the noise in the room was suddenly frightened away.

Ma Youwei and the president glanced at each other, nodded secretly, and then looked around: "When has this been, are you still arguing?" Does it make sense? Li Hengyou, if you think this article is not good, then you can find a good one? ”

The editor who had spoken before opened his mouth, but couldn't say the last word.

"Publishing this "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is risky, first of all, he is a historical and military subject, and secondly, his language is semi-literary, and many readers may have obstacles to reading, so whether readers will buy it or not, we don't know? But the question is, do we have any other options? The twentieth is about to be published, tomorrow it must be finalized, it must be sent to the printing house, the day after tomorrow magazine must enter the logistics company, and who of you can get it now that can be published immediately and can be recommended on the blockbuster! ”

Ma Youwei looked around, and everyone he saw lowered their heads.

After a while, Ma Youwei's mood calmed down a little, and he said earnestly: "Actually, if we look at it from a different perspective, publishing this is also a huge opportunity for me and us, Mr. Xiaoshan has analyzed it with me before, and he said that after this publication, the positioning of our "October" in the hearts of readers may have a benign change.

As you know, there is a very bad phenomenon in the current popular literature circles, everyone seems to think that popular is vulgar, the more vulgar it is, the more vulgar it is, and the more vulgar it is, the more people like to watch it, especially the listing of "Southern Literature", which has rendered this atmosphere to the point of no return.

But it's clear that this doesn't fit our magazine's philosophy, and I firmly believe that it's not the key to a magazine's readership.

Therefore, if we take the publication of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" as an opportunity to announce our philosophy of publishing "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", then we can draw a clear line from other magazines, and for a long time, our magazine can also enter the field of vision of the serious literary world, which is quite favorable for a magazine that is about to go public from the perspective of valuation......"

Ma Youwei repeated the things that Chen Beiming told him one by one, and when he finished speaking, everyone stopped talking, and they were just silent.
