Chapter VIII Commencement of School
"You're here?"
Song Lingyun's arrival made Tang Yin feel a coincidence.
Yesterday too, I just finished reviewing Xia Yan's novel manuscript, and Song Lingyun came to submit it.
Just sent Xia Yan away today, Song Lingyun came again after less than half a minute.
Both of them were students at No. 3 Middle School and didn't know each other.....
Expelling these useless thoughts from his mind, Tang Yin began a new round of work.
On-site review like this is the daily work of the editors of Red Maple Literature, and everyone is basically on duty in turns, but in fact, in most cases, although there are dozens of people who come to submit manuscripts a day, there is probably no valuable novel submission.
Most of the authors of new novels are basically mail-based, after all, not everyone lives in Nancheng and has time to come to the door in person.
And yesterday ....
Tang Yin received two on-site submissions of novels that she thought had great potential, one of which was naturally Xia Yan's youth journey.
And the other ..... It's Song Lingyun's starlight yesterday.
Although she feels that the plot of Starlight yesterday feels worse than the journey of youth, it is actually a very interesting novel.
So for tomorrow's serial meeting, yesterday's Starlight's work is also one of the manuscripts that Tang Yin is preparing to submit for review.
Yesterday, I also asked Song Lingyun to revise some details of the manuscript and send it over today.
Therefore, the conversation between Tang Yin and Song Lingyun this time was similar to what she said to Xia Yan before.
The genres of Starlight and Youth Journey are similar to each other yesterday, and the journals that can serialize the two novels are also overlapping.
The two novels are actually in a state of competition with each other!
The difference is that Song Lingyun is not as picky as Xia Yan, as long as the novel can be decided by the serialization meeting, even if it is in Orange Heart, a journal with sales of only 30,000 or 40,000, she has no opinion.
"So I would like to remind you that although the results of the review of the serialization meeting are still unknown, you must be prepared for both the work to pass and the resolution not to pass. If you can't pass, adjust your mentality and don't be discouraged...."
"But if you can pass it, the pressure of serialization is not small, I don't want you to be out of manuscript, interrupted, unfinished, eunuchs and other phenomena due to low creative speed or other reasons, so take advantage of the fact that your school is still open in two or three days, and try to improve the follow-up plot of the novel." Tang Yin said in a deep voice, her beautiful face full of seriousness.
"I understand, thank you Tang Bian for reminding me." Song Lingyun's expression also became solemn.
After all, she is a normal sophomore high school girl, although she is beautiful, her social experience tends to be near, and writing novels is just a hobby and ideal, which is secretly carried out from her family.
In the face of Tang Yin's serious words, there was indeed psychological pressure.
Interrupted, unfinished, exhausted by inspiration....
Song Lingjun didn't know if these situations would occur after she really became a serialized light novel writer.
Because.... It did take her half a month to conceive the plot of yesterday's starry sky novel into the fourth chapter, and then write it and muster up the courage to submit it, but will the plot content of the later novel have the above problems..... She actually doesn't have a bottom in her heart.
"Don't call me Tang Bian, don't call me Sister Tang, just call me Tang Yin, I'm not a few years older than you, don't call me old." Tang Yin frowned and hurriedly corrected.
Guys?
Song Lingyun paused, "You"? Who else is this plural title but me?
She remembered the teenager who had passed her by before and was suspected of being an alumnus of the same school.
I remember reading the author's signature on the first page of his submission yesterday, it was called Xia Yan.....
There are two days left before the start of school, if it is really a student of the same school, after the start of school... Pay attention.
After all, she secretly wrote love novels and submitted them at home, Song Lingyun is an honor student in the eyes of her parents since she was a child, and a dignified lady in the eyes of relatives and friends. It's actually very complicated in my heart.
I don't dare to expose the things I like, but when I find someone in the same school doing the same thing as her, I inevitably have a feeling of finding the same kind of thing.
.....
Xia Yan returned home, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he had been busy with this matter for several days, and now he finally had a good start.
However, today's Tang Yin's words also reminded Xia Yan that the three chapters of the novel submitted are completely insufficient.... The next plot content is the key.
Xia Yan didn't waste any time, put down his backpack and went into the room to code.
Flash...... Two days passed.
It's February 5th......
On the day of the serialization meeting of Red Maple Literature.
Early in the morning, Tang Yin came to the company early with the novel manuscript she wanted to submit.
And within the company, in fact, there is a tense atmosphere today.
Competition,Actually, it's everywhere.,Colleagues in the editorial department are kind and angry on weekdays.,In the serial meeting.... No matter which editor is, he or she must hope that the submissions he receives will be serialized in the company's journals.
At nine o'clock in the morning, all the editors of the entire editorial department entered the company's largest conference room, and sat around the round table, and the atmosphere was serious.
Of course, in fact, all types of novels are accepted, but in the five light novel clubs in Nancheng, Red Maple Literature has an obvious word-of-mouth advantage in the serialized works on the theme of youth love.
Every day, the number of novel manuscripts submitted to Red Maple Literature every week is very large, and the editors who receive the submissions only select a few novels that they are optimistic about and submit them to the serialization meeting.
As for whether the final work can be serialized, it is up to all the editors and editors-in-chief present to discuss together. Of course, the right to make a decision lies with the editor-in-chief of the editorial department, and other editors can only express their own opinions, and it is up to the editor-in-chief how to decide.
At nine o'clock, Han Yun, the editor-in-chief of Red Maple Literature, sat down, she was in her forties, with an elegant temperament and a thin body, but her shrewdness could be detected by the eyes reflected from under her glasses.
Red Maple Literature has a lot of submissions on the theme of teenage love, and the company's editorial team is basically about six or seven percent female, and the serialization meeting began to .....
At the editorial table of each participant, there are stacks of manuscripts that have been arranged in order and fully copied.
Almost.... There are more than 30 selected novels waiting to be reviewed...
"First of all, the first novel...."That Midsummer" is a new work by Chu Xi, a senior light novel writer who has a four-year cooperative relationship with our book club, this novel has a delicate plot and novel character settings, and there is a certain breakthrough compared to her previous work...."
The editor who submitted the manuscript began to give a brief introduction to the novel to his colleagues, and in the process, the entire conference room was filled with the sound of turning papers.
Two minutes later...... Everyone began to speak as if they were in a vegetable market...
"I don't think the first chapter is too attractive, and now this kind of weak heroine is actually a mediocre market response."
"But there are no absolutes in the world, and newcomers may not be able to write this kind of heroine brilliantly, but Teacher Chu Xi's words, everyone knows her strength, the previous work "She in the clouds!" "In "Red Maple" for three months, the praise rate is very high."
But the first chapter of this novel is clearly inferior to "She in the Clouds!" "The first chapter is interesting, so there's no way to connect the two...."
....
Tang Yin didn't interject next to him, at the moment, the editors who were arguing at the meeting were all staring at this serial meeting, about "Red Maple", the only serial seat in the company's façade journal in the near future.... And these, it has nothing to do with her, she didn't have a suitable submission novel for serialization on "Red Maple" at this serialization meeting.
She thinks the quality of the novel of Youth Journey is enough, but the fact that Xia Yan is a rookie writer is a big problem, and the editor-in-chief Han Yun will not take the risk of agreeing to let Youth Journey be serialized on "Red Maple".
After a minute of arguing, editor-in-chief Han Yun spoke...
"TBD!"
