422. Passed
Some people's approach is smooth, and some people's direction is bumpy all the way, just as Guo Pinyuan thought when he saw Chen Nan and Tang Xuan's original manuscripts, there are great differences of opinion in the editorial department on the serial works submitted for review this time.
Some people think that the work is interesting and should be given a chance to pass the serialization, but many more people have refuted it, including Tang Xuan's former editor.
"What kind of person Tang Xuan is this author, I can't be clearer than if I have been with him for so long, I'm not targeting him for anything, but his works are not catering to readers at all, and even with the theme of hard work, friendship and victory that our Fantasy advocates, full of dark individualistic style, in short, I don't agree with letting this work pass the serialization."
"But the person in charge of painting this work is Chen Nan," the editor, who advocates innovation from a different standpoint, looked through the photocopy sent to his hand, and said: "If you use her paintings to depict the world, maybe there will be unexpected chemical reactions." β
"Teacher Chen Nan's painting is good, but it can't prove her popularity just by relying on this, doesn't the previous work just show this."
"ThisγIsn't it different.,This time it's the original work.γ
"That's why this original work doesn't work. If Teacher Liangyu is still there......" At this moment, the editor suddenly thought of something and stopped, looked in the direction of the editor-in-chief, and then fell silent.
The name Liangyu is basically a forbidden language in today's Fantasy, although no one has stipulated that it cannot be talked about, but after all, the original editor-in-chief slapped the table in front of so many people to ban her, even if he knew that it was a momentary anger, but no one dared to test the truth of the editor-in-chief's words.
Especially after Chen Nan's last work that was cut quickly and was not cut, all the editors acquiesced to this point of view. Because generally speaking, an author like Chen Nan, who has contributed to magazines and drawn popular comics, even if it is to please the other party, must ask the other party to put together a few single books to see if there is any improvement, and then discuss the end. It's like this, and not giving a chance at all, but it's actually more or less angry.
Editors are all understanding people, most of them avoid talking about this, after all, no one will rush to the editor-in-chief because of individual authors, although the editorial department is not the editor-in-chief's hall, but in various affairs, the editor-in-chief occupies a lot of power, which is also an indisputable fact.
Just when both sides insist on their own words and can't come up with results. The editor-in-chief, who had been silent, announced, "Vote." β
Each of the six groups present at the meeting had one leader, two deputy editors, and the editor-in-chief had a total of 9 votes, and if more than half of them passed, they would be serialized, otherwise they would be rejected. However, it is different from the works that can be submitted for re-examination after being sent back for revision, because this objection is a rejection from the style aspect, which is not just a matter of revision, that is to say. Once the manuscript is rejected, the manuscript is finished.
Every time this happens. The atmosphere in the conference room became extremely serious, and the quarrel that had just been written by the editor stopped as a result. This is because they all understand what kind of result their vote will cause.
"Lao Ye, this is the manuscript you handed over below, so you can start first." The editor-in-chief glanced at Mr. Ye Chuan, who was sitting on the left-hand side. This means that this time the voting order is clockwise from left to right.
Mr. Ye Chuan didn't have much to think about, so he directly voted for it, and the editors who are generally responsible for submitting the manuscript have almost a stable vote, which is not to be said. But then the one next to Mr. Ye Chuan. is the leader of the second group, that is, the editor in charge of Tang Xuan in the past, and his vote is also stable, and he is naturally against it.
Then, three votes against and two votes in favor of dragging the score to 4-3, so it seems that there are still more people who oppose it. Only Liu Xiang, who is also the deputy editor, and Duan Changzai, the editor-in-chief, have not yet voted, but as long as there is one more negative vote among these two people, the serial will not pass.
Seeing this result, Mr. Ye Chuan already knew that there was little hope this time, so he simply shook his head, took off his glasses and began to wipe the lenses with a tissue.
At this point, he has somewhat lost hope, Liu Xiang will not say it for the time being, the editor-in-chief will definitely not be able to get by, this idea seems to be Liu Xiang's own opinion. For him, in fact, he is not very optimistic about this manuscript, and he feels that the meaning of gambling is quite heavy, at most it is 55 open, and he thinks that the editor who just objected is right, this is not a fantasy-style comic.
But if he put forward a negative vote here, then he skipped the editor-in-chief and vetoed it directly, Liu Xiang made a heart here, and he also chose to agree. In this way, the number of votes for approval and rejection will be equal, and it will ultimately be up to the editor-in-chief to decide whether to pass or not.
For a while, the eyes of all the editors were projected on the editor-in-chief, and everyone's thoughts were different and their expressions were also different. But there is one thing that everyone is basically in agreement, with the editor-in-chief's attitude towards the two authors of "Chess Soul" in the past, this serialization meeting has ended here.
However, what no one expected was that after pondering for a while, the editor-in-chief Duan Chang announced to everyone: "I also agree, now the number of votes for agreement and disapproval is 5 to 4, so this comic has passed the serialization and is scheduled to be published on October 23, Lao Ye, you notify the author and let them prepare the original manuscript." β
The audience was silent, and Mr. Ye Chuan's hand wiping his glasses also stopped there.
"What's the problem?" The editor-in-chief asked.
"No, there isn't." Mr. Ye Chuan said busily.
"So, that's all for today's serialization meeting, the authors who get the serialization opportunity, be sure to ask them to hand in the original manuscript as soon as possible, and the works that didn't pass this time, send them back and let them change it, and the meeting will be dismissed." The editor-in-chief stood up, grabbed his coat and walked out the door first, while the rest of the editors, after staring at each other, quickly finished packing up their things on the table and rushed out of the conference room.
"How could it be ......"
Mr. Ye Chuan could still hear the editor next to him look like he couldn't believe such a result, to be honest, Mr. Ye Chuan himself was a little puzzled by how the editor-in-chief suddenly changed his personality today, until he walked out of the office door and saw Guo Pinyuan standing there.
He beckoned to Guo Pinyuan and said mysteriously, "Old Guo, tell you good news......
He originally thought that Guo Pinyuan would be very surprised when he learned that Chen Nan had passed the serialization, but he didn't expect that the other party just let out an extremely bland sigh.
That's not the right reaction.
Mr. Ye Chuan looked at Guo Pinyuan like this, and suddenly realized that there was a reason why the editor-in-chief would nod his head so abnormally today. He immediately pulled Guo Pinyuan to drink, and only then did he figure out the ins and outs of the matter. (To be continued.) )
