Chapter 149

"Don't be nervous, it's not really published. We're just here to ask for opinions. Lin Xi tried to comfort the black cat, but it didn't seem to be useful.

"It's all your fault, all of a sudden I said I was going to meet the editor, and I wasn't ready to ......"

“…… I'm sorry......" Lin Xi whispered to the black cat, "Why don't we wait for you to get ready and come back next time?" ”

"Didn't I say I'm fine......" The black cat half-closed his eyes and took a sip of coffee. It's just a little editor, and I don't need to be nervous," the black cat muttered as she pretended to be expressionless, but as soon as she sounded like she was holding on.

“…… When we meet, we will relax a little, this time it is just a private meeting, nothing serious. ”

"I know. You don't need to tell me, huh. ”

After a while, the waiter brought in a woman in professional attire, and a capable temperament emerged spontaneously.

"I've been waiting for a long time, I'm Yui Inagaki, it's the first time we've met, so please take care of me. Are you Lin Jiajia's nephew? Yui Inagaki said to the black cat.

“…… I am. Miss Inagaki, please take care of me when we meet for the first time, I'm Lin Xi. ”

“…… Girl? Miss Inagaki took a detailed look at Lin Xi's facial features.

"Man!" Lin Xi said categorically!

"Ah, I understand, the Lin family of the Huaxia clan has no son, in order to prevent the peeps of other branches, and then let the daughter dress up as a man to show that there is someone to follow, which is used to block the doubts of the outside world." Miss Inagaki said serious nonsense, "The next thing is to study abroad, avoid the detection of other people, and then meet the true destiny here, and live a life of lily without shame." ”

"......" is really worthy of the editor's huge brain hole, or the brain hole of the 8 o'clock file. It's still a lily dang, but where is the capable temperament you just had?! "You're thinking too much!"

"Really not? You look like a girl no matter how you look at it...... And it's very familiar, I don't know where I've seen it. Miss Inagaki thought for a moment, "Ah! The beautiful cutie who plays the piano and blows the flute in Station N! And say no?! You lie! ”

Even the black cat almost believed in her evil spirit, looking Lin Xi up and down. Reached out and touched Lin Xi's chest...... I'm putting my hand down......

“…… Wait a minute! Lin Xi stopped the black cat's off-the-beaten-thrust behavior, "Black cat, stop!" I'm really a man! This doesn't need to be proven! ”

The black cat still looked at Lin Xi with suspicion.

“…… Let's get down to business. Lin Xi changed the subject. Then he turned his head and whispered in the ears of the black cat, "I want to know if it's true or fake, go home and show it to you slowly, touch it slowly!" ”

The black cat's ears instantly turned red, "Who!" Who said, said I want, wanted, wanted, wanted to watch?! Change, change, change! Exhibitionism! H Demon! Silver Beast! ”

“……”

“……”

Four in a row, seckill! Instant coldness.

"Ahem, ahem. Let's get down to business. Miss Inagaki coughed twice to bring the two of them back to their senses, "This Miss Black Cat, Mr. Lin has already sent me your novel by email before, and I have also previewed it in detail." ”

"Eh, me, my name is Wumore Liuli, please advise." After talking about business, the black cat was still a little nervous.

"So, Miss Gogen, although this is just my personal impression, I think it is indeed an interesting work. What you're sending this time is a second creation of Masschera, which is called a work called "Back to the Past". I also like Masschera very much, and I know very well the "conventions" that this kind of "back to the past" and "original setting" secondary novels should have, so I can't deny that this has helped me understand the content a little more. To be honest, there are too many original words in this work, and it may be a little difficult for readers to understand. Miss Inagaki opened her mouth with a bunch of very reasonable words.

"Oh, we've noticed this part, and we've made a lot of optimizations, and I think the current version isn't too difficult for readers who know a little bit about this anime to read. After all, it is based on the original work, and in addition to the original characters are basically their own settings, they also quote a lot of the original settings, so this part may be the reason why you are a little puzzled to read. Lin Xi took over the topic of Miss Inagaki, after all, the black cat didn't seem to have reacted yet.

"Is this the work of two people working together, you guys?" Miss Inagaki was surprised.

"No......" Lin Xi was about to say no, but the black cat stopped him.

"Yes, it was written by the two of us together."

“……”

"What are the two of you responsible for?"

"I'm responsible for writing, and he's responsible for reading!"

...... "You've talked all the time to death, can you be serious?" Let's get down to business!

"Under normal circumstances, publishers do not accept direct submissions. Occasionally, semi-professional or professional writers will come and submit their manuscripts directly, but they are all people with a little fame, and like you now, the publishing house will generally not accept it. And your work this time is still doujinshi. Doujinshi generally thinks that there will be some copyright disputes.,In this regard,Any club will choose to try to avoid it.。 Miss Inagaki said.

"In other words, it doesn't actually work if we submit directly to the publishing house?" The black cat lowered its head a little frustratedly.

"That's right, by the way, Miss Wugeng, are you planning to make your debut as a novelist? After all, you still have comics in your novels. Miss Inagaki asked.

“…… I ......"

The black cat grabbed the hem of her skirt and lowered her head.

Then she spoke in a somewhat awkward tone:

“…… Whether it's writing novels or drawing comics, I enjoy it. If I could, I'd like to try both of them, but this time I mainly wanted to know about fiction. ”

"Understood." Miss Inagaki took a sip of the coffee that had just been delivered, "Have you ever contributed to the economy of the Newcomer Award?" ”

"I have submitted ...... every year"

"That's right. It is quite rare to be so young and submit the newcomer award every year. Is there a particular motivation for you to do this? ”

“…… As I said earlier, I love writing novels...... But to be honest, there's another reason to want to make money. The royalty of the book is much better than the income from my current part-time job, and if I can make a successful debut, I can also give my family a lot of financial resources. The black cat said truthfully, "...... Is such a motive impure? ”

"No, after all, many people write novels nowadays to make a living, and that's nothing." Miss Inagaki took another sip of coffee, then glanced at Lin Xi and found that Lin Xi didn't have anything to say, "About the content part,...... There is a part of the dialogue between the characters that is quite interesting. The best thing is that this original character called Kirino doesn't appear in Masschera's main chapter...... After I read it, I was fascinated by Kirino and she can say that she is really too cute......"

"......" Lin Xi suddenly remembered this part, it seems that it is the plot of Lily... No wonder.

"But...... I don't really like that character......"

"Is that so...... It's a shame. But I think all the characters other than Kirino are unbearable, and there are too many settings added. Of course, it's not a bad idea to add your own setting, but you don't seem to be able to use it skillfully. In addition to being overly complex in composition, the depiction is also exaggerated, which is a huge flaw on the whole. ”

"Yes......" the black cat's head was buried lower. It seems that this meeting has brought a huge blow to the black cat's self-confidence.

“…… That's all for the criticism of the article as a whole, and then let's move on to the detailed part...... I'll go on and follow from the first page. ”

Every page and every word of Miss Inagaki doujinshi is extremely harshly criticized. The photocopy of the original manuscript she held in her hand had each page stained red with a red pen.

"......" From this moment on, Lin Xi couldn't interject at all.

Time passed under the harsh criticism that made people almost think it would never end, and the black cat, who accepted the unilateral guidance of experienced editors, could only grit his teeth and endure.

…… Ten minutes pass, twenty minutes pass.

…… One hour passes...... Finally, at around half past eleven, the comments ended. The entire novel is almost a guide.

The black cat, who had been looking down to listen to the harsh criticism, showed a look of almost crying.

Pill! This time, Lin Xi came over with a black cat.

Obviously, the black cat was reluctant to come, but when he came here, he heard so much criticism. I feel that the favorability accumulated before is about to be cleared!
