Chapter 5: A Good Beginning and... alumnus
Xia Yan finally waited until she finished reading the plot of the first chapter, thinking she would say something?
Unexpectedly, Tang Yin directly grabbed the manuscript of the second chapter and read it without saying a word.
At this time, Xia Yan almost had some understanding, and the tension in his heart gradually disappeared.
If you find it boring... It's not going to be a waste of time, is it?
...
The other side.
Another person waiting outside the reception room, a girl in red sportswear who entered the Red Maple Literature Office Building from the elevator with Xia Yan....
For the hundredth time, I have looked at the frosted glass shadow of the reception room.
Through the light and shadow of the frosted glass, you can see the reflection of the young man and the woman who entered the room before, which has been going on for ten minutes, and it has been chattering endlessly.
He... It's been half an hour since I've been in.
The girl in the red tracksuit took off the mask on her face to breathe, revealing a beautiful and delicate face.
The small nose, cherry-colored lips, the clear pupils like spring water, and the fair and smooth skin are a little red because they have been covered in the mask for too long.
"What did he bring?" The girl's eyes were filled with curiosity.
She also understands that if the boy's work is not interesting, the editor inside will not waste so much time with him.
But then, she was apprehensive.
The longer she waited, the more cranky she became, and she had already rehearsed more than a dozen scenes in her mind in which her work would be sprayed wildly by the censors and editors inside.
......
So, your problem is that you give too much space to Futaba's textual description, and it's clear that the two main characters in the journey of youth are Futaba and Hibi, but where are the details of Futaba depicted? I read all three chapters of the novel..... Futaba is sensitive.,Afraid of getting hurt.,I like to be happy.,I hope to let time go back to three years ago.,And the image of a cute girl who once broke the relationship with Huan is happy...."
"Where's the huh? A mysterious teenager? My concept of him is only very vague.,Appearance.,Height.,The depiction of interpersonal relationships with classmates is not clear.,Is there a double standard performance for the heroine Futaba and other girls... These details are very important, the main body of a girl's romance novel is the female protagonist, but if the shaping of the male protagonist is not clear enough, don't expect the readers of the journal to have too deep a sense of substitution...."
Tang Yin criticized Xia Yan's manuscript, and Xia Yan shrank his head and humbly accepted suggestions and criticism.
"Here, here... Here, here.. And here .... Give Huan a little more room to play.,And,Appropriately expand the plot of those wine and meat girlfriends around Futaba.,Seriously,These girlfriends can pull hatred..."
"After revising these parts, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow at the latest, come to me directly with the manuscript, this is my business card... Call me directly when the time comes. Tang Yin took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Xia Yan.
"I'll accept your submission first, remember... Contact me directly after the article is revised, don't try your luck at other bookstores. Girl's love novels are the main themes of our Red Maple literature, and the reason why you came to our company at the first stop of your submission must have done your homework. Tang Yin finally said in a slightly soft voice.
"That.... Am I? Xia Yan asked more.
"At least this work has passed the test with me." Tang Yin stroked the hair next to her ears.
"Three days later, our company will hold a regular meeting to discuss the vacancies in the company's fiction journal for some completed novels, so you will revise the version of the novel manuscript.... It has to be handed over to me by the day after tomorrow. ”
Tang Yin's words were obvious......
She felt that the novel manuscript of Youth Journey had potential, but she could not give a clear answer to whether it could be serialized in the novel journal of Red Maple Literature, or in which journal it could be serialized, and this kind of thing had to be discussed at a meeting of the editorial department.
The success or failure of this kind of thing, for Xia Yan, is only about whether there is a manuscript fee, but for Red Maple Literature, the serialization of each work is not a trivial matter, and it is related to the company's reputation among novel fans. It is impossible for one or two grassroots editors to have the right to make decisions.
"Understood...."
Xia Yan was overjoyed, passing the review and editing level meant that the work would be submitted to the serialization meeting, which was unexpectedly smooth.
However, Tang Yin asked him not to submit to other book clubs, but to revise the manuscript and send it to her as soon as possible.....
Xia Yan thought for a while, took a deep breath, then nodded, and after a few words of greeting Tang Yin, he left the reception room.
At this time.....
The girl in red, who had been waiting for Xia Yan outside for forty minutes, staggered past Xia Yan who was wearing a mask and walking out of the reception room to leave.
When the girl passed by, her eyes carefully examined Xia Yan's face.
She walked into the reception room, and of course, politely unbuttoned her mask.
After all, she wore a mask just for fear that acquaintances would see her come to contribute, and when the time came, she would spread some gossip in school.
"Song Lingyun, right.... I'm editor Tang Yin. Tang Yin looked at the information that Song Lingyun had filled in before, and then looked at her.
Pretty Girl Novel Creator... Rare animals!
"Two people one after the other, and they are a student at Nancheng No. 3 Middle School." Tang Yin's expression was strange.
"You know Xia Yan and came together?"
"Xia Yan? Who is it? Song Lingyun blinked, and asked in a somewhat cold voice.
"Well, I don't know! Forget what I just said. Tang Yin coughed.
But the speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart.
Song Lingyun thought in his eyes.
Another student from Nancheng No. 3 Middle School.....
Xia Yan? ....
Song Lingyun glanced at the text information on the first page of the pile of novel manuscripts on Tang Yin's desk.
【Youth Journey by Xia Yan】
Thinking about it, Song Lingyun basically figured out the meaning of Tang Yin's previous words.
I see... Is he, an alumnus?
The corners of Song Lingyun's mouth curled slightly, she was also worried that high school students would not study, but would be sprayed if they went to submit light novels, so she wore a mask to submit, worried about being recognized by acquaintances.
But at least now we know...
There was another person in the school who didn't do his job.
What a coincidence.
Well... Journey of Youth.... Is this the novel he came to contribute? It's a terrible name to get.
"Yesterday's Starlight ......"
Tang Yin took the manuscript of the novel handed over by Song Lingyun, and saw the name of the novel... She didn't feel awkward at all.
But she didn't say much, after all, Tang Yin knew that her taste did not represent the entire public, although she didn't like it, it didn't mean that there was something wrong with the title of the book.
And after careful review.....
Tang Yin's expression gradually changed....
After another seven-minute review, she raised her head, facing Song Lingyun's expression and attitude, she was a little more serious than before.
This novel... It's also quite interesting.
This Nancheng No. 3 Middle School doesn't pay much attention to it on weekdays? Why is this school full of potential fiction writers?
....
Xia Yan walked out of the Hongfeng Literature Office Building, looked at the office building where the other four book clubs were located, and sighed, but gave up the idea of submitting more than one manuscript.
Tang Yin has already said that he will submit the work of Youth Journey to the meeting to decide whether to serialize it, so that he will not vote for other families, and Xia Yan also agreed to Tang Yin on the spot.
The most important thing is that Tang Yin also tried her best to point out some flaws in Xia Yan's article in the previous conversation, expressed her willingness to cooperate, and then thought about other strange operations later... Xia Yan hasn't cultivated that kind of cheekiness for the time being.
And he thought about it for a while, it is true that Red Maple Literature is one of the five large novel book clubs in Nancheng, and it is the most suitable company for young girls' love novels such as Youth Journey. That's the best-case scenario.
Only.... Don't risk it anymore! It's great that if Tang Yin's serialization proposal at the meeting fails, Xia Yan will submit it to other families, and it will only delay for a few more days.
It's noon... Xia Yan didn't think much about it anymore and got on the bus home.
