There are two main reasons why Kang Jianfei directly took the manuscript to the door instead of putting it in the mailbox of "Ming Pao".

First, mailbox submissions are all resigned to fate, and if you submit them in person, you have room for face-to-face communication, and the chances of your manuscript being accepted are much greater. Kang Jianfei didn't think that he was writing "Xun Qin", "Ming Pao" would definitely like it, and even ran to the door to beg him to write.

Second, Ming Pao's novels were published in its supplements. The manuscript work of the "Supplement" was personally presided over by Jin Yong and the editor-in-chief Pan Yuesheng, and the editors of the other supplements were only responsible for urging the manuscript and proofreading. Jin Yong and Pan Yuesheng naturally don't read all the manuscripts, they only look at those that have been screened out by ordinary editors. In case you submit a manuscript in your mailbox and encounter an editor who is not long-sighted, and throws it directly into the trash can as a waste manuscript, it is a desire to cry without tears.

Kang Jianfei led Hu Juncai into the Ming Pao building, and did not go to the editorial office of the supplement, but directly asked where the editor-in-chief's office was.

The building was full of people and the staff in each office were working nervously, and this modern office atmosphere made Hu Juncai panic, and he always felt that someone was spying on them.

Walking in the aisle, it may be Hu Juncai's probing behavior that arouses suspicion, and a man with glasses in a suit about sixty years old stopped them and asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”

Kang Jianfei saw that the glasses man had gray hair and some majesty on his body, most of which was the small head of "Ming Pao", so he smiled at him: "Hello, I'm looking for Pan Yuesheng and Editor-in-Chief Pan." ”

The man with glasses frowned and asked, "What are you looking for Editor-in-Chief Pan?" ”

Kang Jianfei said: "I wrote a novel, and I made an appointment with Editor-in-Chief Pan to give him the manuscript. Where is the editor-in-chief's office? ”

"Are you sure you have made an appointment with Editor-in-Chief Pan?" The man in glasses asked with a smile.

Kang Jianfei felt that there was something wrong with his smile, and said stubbornly: "That's true." ”

The man with glasses waved his hand and said, "No need to look for it, Editor-in-Chief Pan is not free to see you today." ”

Kang Jianfei asked, "For what?" Is he not here today? ”

The man with glasses sneered, threw down a sentence and left: "Because I am Pan Yuesheng!" ”

Kang Jianfei and Hu Juncai looked at each other, but Kang Jianfei quickly reacted, caught up and said: "Mr. Pan, this is a novel I created, and I still bother you to look at it, help me straighten the axe." ”

"Didn't you say you made an appointment with me?" Pan Yuesheng sneered, "I hate people who lie and deceive the most. If his character is not good, what good novels do you expect him to write? ”

Seeing that Pan Yuesheng was about to enter his editor-in-chief's office, Kang Jianfei took the opportunity to step forward to stop him, took out the manuscript and said, "Mr. Pan, I don't think it matters what my character is. As the editor-in-chief of Ming Pao, you are always obliged to read the author's manuscript, and this is your job duty. ”

Pan Yuesheng didn't show the slightest affection for Kang Jianfei, and said: "I'm sorry, I have my own set of review standards, and judging the author's character is also one of them. ”

Kang Jianfei didn't expect him to be so unlucky, Pan Yuesheng didn't even read his manuscript, so he was shot directly.

Seeing that this old man was too stubborn to make sense at all, Kang Jianfei picked up his manuscript and turned around and left. In the manuscript of the supplement of "Ming Pao", only Jin Yong himself and Pan Yuesheng can call the shots, since it is not feasible to find Pan Yuesheng, then they have to find Jin Yong himself.

Hu Juncai felt a little inferior in the face of Hong Kong people, and whispered: "Ah Fei, I think we should go back, it's not good to be a writer." ”

Kang Jianfei had a smile on his face, as if the scene just now hadn't happened at all, and he comforted: "Don't worry, if you don't want my manuscript, it can only mean that they have no eyes!" ”

That being said, Kang Jianfei actually realized in his heart that most of his manuscript would not be hired by "Ming Pao". As the editor-in-chief, Pan Yuesheng would never refuse to read the manuscript because Kang Jianfei had told a few lies. Since Pan Yuesheng did this, there is only one reason that can be explained - there is no shortage of manuscripts in Ming Pao, and countless writers in Hong Kong are rushing to send their manuscripts to Ming Pao for publication, and it is difficult for new authors to show their faces in Ming Pao.

Kang Jianfei asked Hu Juncai to wait downstairs, inquired about Jin Yong's office by himself, and knocked directly on the wooden door of the office.

"Please come in!" A deep voice came from inside.

Kang Jianfei pushed the door in, and Jin Yong, who was writing an editorial at the desk, raised his head, saw that it was a strange young man, and asked, "Are you?" ”

"Mr. Cha, I am a lover of novels, this is a novel I wrote, and I would like to invite you to take a look." Kang Jianfei smiled and held the manuscript and put it on Jin Yong's table.

Jin Yong frowned, he hated being disturbed when he wrote. Moreover, this kind of manuscript of a new author should be handed over to the following ordinary editors for review, if everyone writes a manuscript to him, won't he have to read the manuscript every day?

Jin Yong is not good at words, and since Kang Jianfei has already brought the manuscript, it is not good for him to drive people out directly. didn't talk to Kang Jianfei at the moment, and took the manuscript and flipped through it.

At the beginning of the novel, it is pointed out that Xiang Shaolong is an ordinary grassroots in Hong Kong, who has had some kung fu since elementary school and is a martial arts enthusiast. Then Xiang Shaolong's girlfriend was robbed by Brother Gongzi, and he was bullied and beaten by Brother Gongzi. The rich son's thug kicked Xiang Shaolong off the roof of the building, and as a result, the protagonist traveled through time and space in the process of falling, and actually landed on the bed of an ancient beauty.

Jin Yong's brows were tense and sometimes relaxed, and after reading about 30,000 words, he wrote a few lines on a note, and then handed the manuscript of "Xun Qin Ji" to Kang Jianfei along with the note, and waved him to leave.

This is Jin Yong's habit, because he is not eloquent, he writes notes many times, even the usual management of "Ming Pao".

Kang Jianfei took the note and looked at it, only to see that it was written: "Through time and space, the idea is quite novel." However, the writing is too frivolous, and the plot is gaudy and vulgar, I hope to correct it in the future, and you have a lot to do with the novel. ”

Kang Jianfei couldn't cry or laugh when he read the note, Jin Yong first affirmed him, then pointed out his shortcomings, and finally encouraged him to correct his shortcomings and have a bright future.

Affirmation, insufficiency, encouragement, all-encompassing, it is indeed worthy of the style of the elders of Duntun.

But this is all a scene, and what it really means is: your writing is not enough to read, and you have a tendency to write glamorously, which does not conform to the style of "Ming Pao", so this newspaper does not accept this article.

Kang Jianfei suddenly wanted to laugh, he plagiarized a novel that was a big seller in later generations for the first time, but was rejected by "Ming Pao".

At this time, "Ming Pao" has a group of writers' manuscripts such as Ni Frame, and "Ming Pao Evening News" has a group of writers' manuscripts such as Wen Ruiyu, and the manuscript sources on both sides are very stable and sell well. Therefore, unless the work is of high quality, it is difficult for a novel by a new author to get published in Ming Pao.

If it is changed ten years later, when the talents in the Hong Kong martial arts novel industry are withering and good works are hard to find, Kang Jianfei will come up with "Looking for Qin" again, "Ming Pao" will definitely rush to ask for it!

Kang Jianfei walked out of Jin Yong's office with the manuscript, and when he walked to the door, he turned back to Jin Yong and smiled: "Mr. Cha, we will meet later!" ”

Jin Yong was stunned for a moment, and then politely smiled at Kang Jianfei and nodded: "See you again." ”

Seeing Kang Jianfei leave, Jin Yong didn't take the matter to heart. "Xun Qin Ji" is suspected of being a violent article, although it will stop at the point, but "Ming Pao" has already been on the right track, and it will not rashly publish this kind of novel to lower its style. Ni Frame's novels published in "Ming Pao" also have meat scenes, but they are all male and female love when they are in love. There is an essential difference between naked love, and Kang Jianfei's novels are obviously much more vulgar.

What's more, at the beginning of this year, the "Wesley" series, which had been serialized in "Ming Pao" for more than ten years, published the first single book "Old Cat", which detonated a new round of Wesleyan fever on Hong Kong Island, and "Ming Pao" took advantage of this shareholder trend to sell 150,000 copies at one time.

When Huang Yulang saw Wesley's fire, he immediately invited Ni Box to write a novel at a price of 500 yuan per thousand words, setting a new record for Hong Kong writers' remuneration.

Now that Ni Frame is very popular, the Wesley series of "Chain" has been serialized well in "Ming Pao", and Jin Yong will replace Wesley in Ni Frame when he is crazy, and publish Kang Jianfei's "Looking for Qin" instead.

Kang Jianfei went downstairs with the rejected manuscript, and Hu Juncai hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "How is it, did they accept the manuscript?" ”

"Go to the Oriental Daily!" The smile on Kang Jianfei's face disappeared without a trace, and a few words popped out from between his teeth.

Isn't it "Ming Pao"?

There are many newspapers in Hong Kong, and Lao Tzu doesn't believe that "Xun Qin" can't vote!
