Chapter 391 Audit
A thick envelope is sorted and delivered...... Eventually, they came to a tall building in the city of Orsay.
On the front of the building, there is also a line of signboards - 'Craftsman Publishing House'.
This is a publishing house that has a good relationship with Rocca before, and its literary works are sold well on the West Coast.
The receptionist gracefully signed the thick letter and quickly sorted it in.
Letters from readers are placed in huge wooden barrels aside, and the manuscripts of famous authors are sent directly to the editor-in-chief for personal review, and unfamiliar contributors are handed over to the corresponding editors according to classification.
In this process, the envelope with the name 'Roca' written on it fell into the hands of the hostess.
"Mr. Roca's manuscript, give it to Clem for editing!"
She made a mark, picked up a large pile of letters, and headed to her second-floor office to deliver them to each desk.
Clem is a middle-aged man with a beer belly and thick glasses.
At this point, while nibbling on a sandwich, he opened Roca's envelope and took out the manuscript inside.
"Is the nightingale bird finished? It's a tragic ending! Not bad...... Literary scholars prefer tragedy, although the general public is more fond of laughter......"
He muttered a few words, first looked at the general situation, and then carefully browsed them line by line: "Huh? Mr. Roca's pen power seems to have improved a lot? ”
As an editor, Clem has plenty of experience and experience.
Rocca, who originally used the pen name 'Mr. Ring', although he also has a certain literary background, prefers to pile up with flowery and meaningless complex words, like a bouquet of flowers with a bright appearance but no substantive connotation, which withers after a period of time, and is okay at first glance, but there is no desire to read it for a long time.
But this time, at the end, the other party used a realistic approach, although the text is simple, but just a few words, the demeanor of the protagonist and the supporting characters seems to jump on the page, through the description of the environment, reflecting the psychology of each character, with clever cooperation, people can't help but want to applaud.
"It's a pity...... If the whole article is written like this, I can recommend it to the editor-in-chief, it deserves better layout and resources......"
Clem muttered to himself, discovering that after the end, there was a brand new submission.
"No...... More than one, Robert and Eliet? "Horror Hills"? One love, one horror? ”
Clem became interested, wiped his glasses, and made himself a cup of coffee, and then began to read carefully.
Before you know it, hours have passed.
"No...... Why did Eliet, who was so cute and kind, die? Fate...... You are so unjust......"
After watching "Robert and Eliet", Clem rubbed the corners of his eyes, which were a little wet.
"Although it is a vulgar love story, the author's pen is mature and eloquent, and it seems to be happening all around us......"
He didn't want to say it, it reminded him of his first love, and he felt a heartache.
In the afternoon, Clem began to read "Horror Hill", and was immediately attracted by the strange setting, and felt numb for the strange and wonderful killing methods, especially the moment when the murderer appeared at the end, which was completely unexpected, which made him feel frightened.
"Both of them are worth highly recommending, this author will definitely be popular. But...... Why did he have to write Eleet? Is it for the sake of the prize? ”
Clem had to think so.
In recent years, the atmosphere of literary awards has been bad, favoring seriousness, and tragic works are more likely to be favored than comedy works, which has become an unspoken rule.
As for horror, it has a stable audience and is easy to gain a group of die-hard fans.
All in all, these are two high-quality articles, if they are not recommended to the editor-in-chief and let the author run away, he will probably be hit with a dog's head!
Therefore, Clem directly took the manuscript and came to the office of the editor-in-chief Yimu, and knocked on the door: "Editor-in-chief, I would like to recommend two ......"
He stopped in the middle of his sentence and saw a nasty guy in the office.
It was a pale man in a black trench coat.
Clem didn't know the other party's name, but he knew that he belonged to the 'Literary Works Review Committee', a strange but powerful organization.
Any published literary work must be 'reviewed' by them beforehand, otherwise, it will not get a serial number at all, and it is illegal to read.
Clem used to be very optimistic about a work, but it inexplicably fell before it was published and sold well, and it was useless to appeal afterwards, and he knelt down without a temper at all.
"Clem? It just so happened that the thing mentioned by this gentleman was related to you, and I originally wanted to call you. ”
Imu had a kind smile on his face.
"Hello sir, I'm Clem!"
Seeing the other party looking over, Clem swallowed the previous belly slander and complaints, and immediately bent down, with a more respectful and respectful attitude.
"Well, one of the authors you are in charge of, with the pen name 'Mr. Ring', will send his manuscript directly to my office for review in the future."
The man in black said with a cold face.
"No problem."
Clem nodded repeatedly, and stopped talking.
In the end, under the eyes of Im about the murderous spirit, he told the story that Mr. Ring had already sent several manuscripts.
"Leave it to me, then."
The man in black's tone, though polite, was unquestionable: "I also need a quiet office." ”
"Of course." Imu hurriedly asked people to prepare.
Gavin took over his office and began to review the manuscripts.
As an examiner of the 'Review Committee', he certainly knew that his organization was part of the Secret Keepers.
It is their duty to review all published publications annually to ensure that no information about the supernatural is disseminated.
As an investigator, Rocca is said to have written short poems with supernatural powers, so he is naturally the focus of scrutiny.
He looked at the manuscript with a serious face, and first took out a white crystal and placed it on top of the manuscript.
After more than ten seconds, the white crystal did not show the slightest abnormality, and the inside did not become cloudy.
"Very good...... There is no anomalous power pollution, so the next review is to see if there is some information that should not be leaked......"
Gavin found a chair and sat down, and began to review it word by word.
It turned out that Fang Xian's work was 'clean' and did not involve ritual knowledge or mystical worship in the slightest.
Love, in particular, has nothing to do with this aspect at all.
And "Horror Villa" tells the story of a high-IQ serial murderer, but the killing method is very cleverly conceived.
"Probably no problem, it can be approved."
Gavin put down the manuscript, inexplicably thought of his first love, and felt a pain in his heart: "But...... Why did Inliet die? ”
