Chapter 29: Shocking the Editorial Department

"Sister Ruoyun, how much more sales do we have for Fantasy World Magazine?" Dango leaned over and asked.

"Less than 100,000." Ye Ruoyun thought for a while and said, "I remember that at the peak, I sold nearly 500,000 copies a week. ”

"So much drop?" Dango was a little surprised.

"With the rise of the Internet, readers are reading comics on their mobile phones, and the top writers in magazines in the past have begun to turn to the platform." Ye Ruoyun shook her head and said, "It's a pity, I just like the feeling of holding a physical book." ”

"We don't have any good manuscripts in our submission mailbox." Dango complained.

"Of course, the top authors have come to the platform, and few powerful writers continue to stay in the magazine." Ye Ruoyun said, "A few days ago, the company's strategy meeting mentioned that when the magazine sold less than 50,000 copies, it would consider stopping the publication. ”

"This ...... But I'm just starting to run the magazine. Dango said with some sadness.

Ye Ruoyun comforted: "Just take it as an experience, and you will definitely be in charge of the writers on the platform in the future." ”

"Well, Tuanzi nodded seriously and said, "I'll do a good job." ”

The company started with a fantasy world, so even though the fantasy world magazine is now in a state of loss, the company still sticks money to maintain it.

But this kind of thing will certainly not last long, and Fantasy World Magazine will eventually be replaced by Fantasy World websites and apps.

Tuanzi was looking through the manuscripts in the mailbox one by one, because the call for papers posted a banner ad in the Fantasy World App, so it attracted a lot of manuscripts.

But the problem is that most of these manuscripts are amateur-level works, and some even look like stick figures of children.

Panning for gold in the sand, that's the job of an editor.

These emails are submitted, and the group reads them quickly, after all, most manuscripts can be killed with a glance in two seconds.

"Fantasy World Illustration Solicitation Submission, It's This Kind of Manuscript ......" Tuanzi has already seen several stick figure level submissions one after another, she was only in charge of platform operations before, and the first time she experienced the work of editing, she realized how difficult it was for Sister Ruoyun.

The vast majority of these submissions are simply tormenting the eyes of editors......

Danzi clicked on the first one attached to the email, which was a fantasy-style landscape painting.

When she looked at the thumbnails, she felt that this painting was different from those manuscripts that made up the numbers, and when the whole picture unfolded on the screen, her eyes opened wide, and she felt a shock in her mind.

Beauty, this is the first impression that the painting gives to Dango, whether it is the composition or the color, light and shadow, it can be called perfect.

Moreover, the painting appears to be an oil painting, an electronic version made after high-definition scanning.

"Hoo ......"

Dango couldn't help but let out a long breath, as if he was in a wheat field and smelled the fragrance of green barley.

Of course, such a work cannot be missed, and Danzi immediately saved this painting in the pre-approved manuscript folder, and then clicked on the next one.

"Succubus?" Tuanzi frowned slightly, as soon as these two words appeared, she would probably be able to make up the content on the canvas, which was nothing more than hot, exposed, and bold descriptions.

And when she opened the painting, she was completely shocked by the level of detail of the picture.

This work called the portrait of the "Goddess of Charm" is much more elaborate than the landscape painting just now, the form and face are impeccable, and in the dark, you can also taste a wonderful divinity, and there is a feeling of wanting to bow and worship.

Tuanzi was pleasantly surprised, and took a screenshot of the page and sent it to his direct leader Ye Ruoyun: "Sister Ruoyun! If you look at these two paintings, would it be appropriate to publish them in a magazine? ”

Ye Ruoyun saw the picture, carefully commented on it, nodded thoughtfully, and said: "The painting skills are impeccable, this kind of finished manuscript should not be sent to our magazine, you search the picture to see if it is plagiarized." ”

"Uh-huh!" Tuanzi opened the search engine and searched for it, but he didn't find the same painting.

"I didn't find the same, it should be original! Sister Ruoyun! "Tuanzi is very excited, this can be regarded as a treasure.

Ye Ruoyun came to the side of the group, looked at her computer screen, and said, "This is an oil painting, you look at the brushstrokes on it, how can someone who paints oil paintings come to submit to the magazine......

"Probably fantasy lovers too." Dango guessed.

"Well, these two paintings are from the same contributor, contact him to have a look, first ask him to provide a photo of the original canvas, confirm that it is original, and sign it." Ye Ruoyun said.

"Good!"

Tuanzi was about to turn off the picture and send an email to the contributor when she heard a "bang" from the workstation behind her.

"Ouch, I'll go! My coffee! ”

Sitting behind the group is the company's art team, responsible for magazine covers, illustrations, typesetting, etc., but now many members of the magazine's art team have been transferred to the fantasy world app.

Sen Mu was curious about what Ye Ruoyun was looking at when he came to Tuanzi just now, and just after glancing at it, his eyes straightened.

He stared at the dango screen with his eyes wide open, and then his eyes didn't just straighten.

As soon as he was excited, the coffee cup in Morimu's hand accidentally hit the table and fell down.

However, Moriki completely ignored the coffee on the table and the keyboard that was forced to drink a hot cup of coffee.

Moriki leaned over with his pants hunched over, his eyes fixed on the painting on the screen.

"Hiss......" Moriki took a long breath, lowered his voice and said excitedly, "Expressive, too expressive!" This literally works as a cover! ”

"What's the matter with you?" Ye Ruoyun looked at Senmu's abnormal appearance and asked suspiciously.

"Ha, haha, when I see a good work, I can't help but praise it." The corners of Moriki's mouth stiffened and he said.

With such a big movement, the whole office is throwing itself in which direction.

Not only Moriki, but also several other people from the art team came over.

There is one thing that makes Ye Ruoyun strange, the two female painters of the company also said that this painting called "The Goddess of Enchantment" is very delicate in technique, and several men are staring at the screen with exaggerated expressions.

"Ahem, ahem." Moriki coughed lightly and said, "I'll go to the bathroom, well, wash the coffee on my clothes......"

"I, I'll go too."

"And me, take your leave, and you will review the manuscript slowly."

Everyone gathered around to discuss, and more people joined, and three of the four men rushed to the bathroom with their stomachs clutched, looking in a hurry.

In the end, the male colleague didn't react at all, and looked at the three of them in confusion.

Ye Ruoyun and Tuanzi glanced at each other, unable to understand what happened to those colleagues just now.

"Anyway, I'll get in touch with the contributors first!" Dango turned off the picture and began to edit the email reply.
