Chapter 51: He's a Dragon
"Young adult fantasy novels? Did you choose your own name? Ning Ying looked at the big boy in front of her and couldn't help laughing.
She likes the big boy's poetry very much, but just because she writes good poetry doesn't mean she has to write good novels.
There are many such examples on the earth, even if it is Su Xun in the Tang and Song dynasties, writing articles is first-class, but writing poetry is a bit bad, and I don't know why, Su Shi, the son of Su Shi, became a great poet.
In the same way, it can be countered that people who write poetry well may write novels that stink as well.
"Yes, it's the name I chosen, and I think it fits well with the content of the book." Lu Xiaosu smiled embarrassedly.
Ning Ying looked at the big boy in front of her, although he smiled a little shyly, but for some reason, she saw confidence in his smile.
Yes, the big boy seems to have faith in his novels.
"Our Banyan Tree Publishing House is mainly promoting romance novels." Ning Ying felt that she needed to remind Lu Xiaosu.
Lu Xiaosu nodded and said, "I know, many girls in our class are reading the new book "He is Coming" published by Banyan Tree Publishing House. ”
"He's Coming" is a new romance novel launched by Banyan Tree Publishing House, the author is the popular beauty writer Jiang Xinyan, but the title alone makes Lu Xiaosu not interested in the slightest, and at first glance he knows that it is not his dish.
But anyway, the book is still selling very well, and I heard that it just broke the one million mark half a month ago. And the popular beauty writer Jiang Xinyan also relied on this book to make a beautiful comeback.
In the past, she herself was much more popular than her book, and many black fans said that she had no strength, and all she absorbed was Yan powder. But the market response to this book is very good, and I heard that some people want to invest in idol dramas. And this "He's Coming" is the editor-in-chief Ning Ying in front of him.
The title of "the first promoter of romance novels" is naturally not in vain.
Of course, the sales of physical books in this world are higher than those on the earth, after all, there is no piracy, and it is basically twice or even more than on the earth.
"I personally like your poems, otherwise, I will take this manuscript back and read it, and give you an answer in a few days." Ning Ying smiled at Lu Xiaosu, still a smile full of affinity.
The corners of Lu Xiaosu's mouth twitched, he always felt that this Ning Ying regarded herself as his aunt, would this smile be too spoiled?
"Okay, Editor-in-Chief Ning Ying, then I'll wait for your news."
Lu Xiaosu and Ning Ying, the editor-in-chief, chatted a few more words, and then left on their bicycles.
Looking at the figure of Xiao Su on the road in the rearview mirror of the car, Ning Ying looked at the folder on the passenger seat and smiled slightly.
"Hopefully I won't be too disappointed."
With that, she started her white Mercedes.
......
......
After returning to the publishing house, Ning Ying first sorted out Lu Xiaosu's interview and wrote a special article herself, which will be printed into the poetry collection. Otherwise, there are dozens of poems in a thick book, which is a bit too much money and not authentic.
As the editor-in-chief of a large publishing house, plus she has a certain amount of shares, she is definitely one of the top managers of the publishing house. In the publishing house, her workload is naturally not small.
She likes to dig up new books from new writers, and making them popular is her greatest hobby and pleasure. So in her busy schedule, she takes some time out to read the contributions of the writers.
After reading the submissions of three or four rookie authors, Ning Ying couldn't help but rub her temples.
She has read too many romance novels, and before she became the editor-in-chief, she also wrote two romance novels by Xiaohuo. Over time, to be honest, she was a little aesthetically fatigued.
With similar plots, similar male protagonists, similar dog blood and vulgarity, Ning Ying has rarely seen romance novels that make her eyes shine.
Even Jiang Xinyan's "He's Coming", she was a little dissatisfied, so Jiang Xinyan revised a lot of places, and the amount of work to revise was not even less than rewriting a book.
But that's it, Jiang Xinyan successfully turned over with this book!
Romance novels are very popular in the market, and students love to read them, but as more and more people write them, the novelty is actually getting lower and lower. Maybe it won't be long before fewer people read romance novels, and readers will become more and more critical.
The three books I read before are already high-quality novels that have been screened by the people below, so you can imagine how bad the average of these new authors is now.
The depressed Ning Ying took a sip of the latte brought by the assistant, and then saw the folder that Lu Xiaosu gave her.
She was so busy just now that she forgot that the big boy had also submitted to her.
Looking at the time, it was almost six o'clock.
Although she is a workaholic, she should also get off work, after all, if she doesn't leave, none of the employees she is responsible for will dare to leave.
After cleaning up, she picked up Chanel's new bag on the table, hesitated for a moment, and then picked up the folder that Lu Xiaosu gave her.
"Or ...... Take it home and see it. She smiled.
In her opinion, even if Lu Xiaosu's novels are very immature, his literary talent is definitely there, and it shouldn't be too ugly.
After returning to her apartment, Ning Ying kicked her high heels casually and walked barefoot to the sofa.
Her home is a bit messy, and this older leftover girl doesn't like to clean up by herself, so she hires a part-time worker to clean it every week.
The floor was littered with her change of clothes, which she packed into her suitcase every week and took to the dry cleaners to wash.
Picking up the cute nightdress on the sofa, she slowly removed the OL suit on her body and replaced it with a cute nightdress.
Are older leftover women also have a girl's heart? Well, her nightdress is pink and painted all over the kittens.
Scratching her slender legs slightly, she lay on the sofa very unattractively, her towering breasts pressed against the sofa cushions, and her posture was charming and seductive.
Although she is a workaholic, she is actually quite homely, and she prefers to stay at home to read novels and watch TV series, and order takeout when she is hungry.
Well, she is a leftover girl with extremely poor self-care skills.
opened the folder that Lu Xiaosu gave her, and inside was the bound manuscript, and Lu Xiaosu used a stapler to bind it.
The first sheet of paper has only two words, presumably the title of the book.
- "Dragons".
It's funny, judging by the title of the book, it should be the genre that boys will like.
After ordering a takeaway, she began to look at the text, first Prologue White Emperor City.
"Brother....... someone shouted softly in the darkness. 】
Ning Ying read the first few paragraphs, and began to be curious about the identity of this little boy, in this chapter, the male protagonist seems to be standing in the third perspective, and sees a magical picture. He didn't know the boy, but the boy called him brother.
[In the middle of the city, there is a high pole, and the child is hung on the top of the high pole, with his eyes closed, and the flames of the whole city are burning him.
It was like a great sacrifice. 】
Ning Ying couldn't help but cover her mouth, what does this male protagonist's dream symbolize?
["Constance ...... Tantin. He called out the name.
He sat up sharply and opened his eyes in the afternoon sun, breathing rapidly and covered in cold sweat as the noise of the elevated light rail passing by outside.
He suddenly felt that the voice was so pleasant, reminding him that everything in his dream was fake, and that he was just an ordinary world. 】
At this point, the whole prologue ends.
Ning Ying frowned, she found that this was just a prologue, she didn't even know the name of the male protagonist yet, but why did she seem to have dug countless pits?
Who the hell is the boy? What is the identity of the male protagonist?
Why were boys sacrificed? Why did he ask his brother if he would eat him? How can a man eat his brother?
In an instant, a thought flashed through Ning Ying's mind:
Could it be ....... They're the dragons in the books?!
She was already thinking about the plot of the book, and she knew exactly what it meant.
This means that it is just a prologue, and she, the editor-in-chief who has read countless articles, is deeply trapped in it!
