May....

It was hot, and everyone was sweating profusely, even though they were wearing thin clothes.

Under such temperatures, in the office building of Red Maple Literature, the employees in the editorial department were in good spirits, and they didn't see the malaise at all.

After all, it is very rare for a journal like "Red Maple" to have three serialization slots in such a short period of time, and everyone is waiting for the arrival of next Monday.

"I said Lao Zhou, the "Red Dragon" teacher you are responsible for liaising with, I heard that there are also new works to be submitted to next Monday's serial meeting, right? ”

"Alas, yes, although his historical fiction results are not very good, but this time there are three serialization opportunities, in case luck hits it."

"Although there are more opportunities than usual this time, the competition is also much bigger than usual!"

"After all, as long as the work can be serialized on "Red Maple", it represents fame, wealth, and novels that can be qualified for serialization on "Red Maple", any one, peripheral, single book, and the income from manuscript fees is not millions, and the average salary in Southern Province is less than 4,000, which is also very tempting for those veteran writers. What's more.... What if the work is adapted into an anime, a movie, or a TV series? Then the income ceiling is not easy to say. ”

"Indeed, who will have trouble with money, casually work hard for half a year, and have a stable income of more than one million, if I have the strength, I have to compete."

"But.... In fact, whether it is "Nandou, Torii, Tayu, Red Dragon, or Winter Dream, they are actually not the most competitive fiction authors in this serial meeting...."

"Who's that?"

"That Yuanqing! Now the total sales of the first and second volumes of the Youth Journey have exceeded 800,000 copies, and the average volume sales of this work have exceeded 400,000 copies, and this data is still rising. In addition to Yuan Qing, the other competitors, their novels have achieved the highest sales volume of between 200,000 and 300,000 per volume. ”

"Hey, don't panic, I haven't heard of the phrase for hours, isn't it necessarily good? The world of light novels is even more cruel, it doesn't have to span so many years, sometimes the ups and downs of life are enough for a year. A novelist's work created in the first half of the year is still a popular masterpiece, and in the second half of the year, after the new work is taken out, because the quality is not enough, there are many examples of serialization meetings that cannot be passed. ”

"But after all, a light novel writer who has ever written this kind of achievement novel, his new work ...... Not to be underestimated! After all, this person is so young, he may be short-lived in the light novel world, but more likely to be.... The journey of youth may be just a starting point, his beginning. ”

.....

In the editorial office, a group of colleagues are gossiping in private.

In the office of the editor-in-chief of the editorial department, Tang Yin and the editor-in-chief Han Yun are reporting their work.

"Well, in other words, the two genius newcomers under your command, Yuan Qing and Ning Yun.... All of them are interested in participating in this serialization meeting, right? ”

Although Han Yun is forty years old, she pays attention to diet and maintenance on weekdays, and her mental state is very sufficient, and her demeanor has a trace of elegance.

She put down the teacup in her hand and asked suddenly.

"The new work of these two people.... Have you seen it? ”

"I've seen it. But the editor-in-chief, you...."Tang Yin's expression flashed with a hint of doubt.

Generally speaking, before the serialization meeting starts, Han Yun will not pay attention to these novels to be reviewed.

"Isn't this still thinking about the "New God Ascension" event in the second half of the year, I originally thought that these two genius newcomers might have to have another novel with excellent grades as their historical performance resume in order to be selected as the seed qualification of the Southern Province. But you also understand.... Whether it's a journey of youth or yesterday's starlight.... The results are amazing. Han Yun said with a smile.

"At least, compared to the new novelists who have risen in the past two years under the command of the other four large book societies in Southern Province... The results achieved by the two of them are not only not bad, but also have a lead ... Especially Yuanqing.... Although none of his works have been serialized in periodicals of the level of "Red Maple". But.... The popularity of his works, the results of single books.... Absolutely the only newcomer novelist in the province. ”

In fact, participating in this kind of activity has no substantial benefit to red maple literature.

But there are no benefits on the surface, but in other aspects, the benefits of red maple literature are great.

Whether it is Xia Yan or Song Lingyun, they put their novels into the activity of "New God Ascension" to participate in the competition, and the copyrights of the participating novels are also owned by two people, and Red Maple Literature has no chance to get involved.

After all, it is a selection activity for potential newcomers in the novel industry, and the organizer has made it clear that the work is only for the competition, and the copyright is 100% in the hands of the creator, otherwise, the taste of this event will change. As for Red Maple Literature, the participating novels have not been serialized in the journals of the book club from beginning to end, and any income from the participating novels has nothing to do with the book club.

Then why is Hongfeng Literature so keen on doing this kind of thing, I hope that Xia Yan and Song Lingyun can get the seed place.

The answer is not profit, but fame.

But if the book club recommends a new fiction author to participate in the seed quota competition, there is really someone who has won the seed spot.

That is certain, the author of this novel will be bound to the reputation of Red Maple Literature to a certain extent.

Whether it's Xia Yan or Song Lingyun, as long as they get the seed place, Red Maple Literature can take advantage of this event to gain popularity in the Dragon Country at that time.

It was hyped up in the southern province to help Hongfeng Literature establish a good image in the industry.

Newcomers can also be popular when they submit novels, and they have also beaten the newcomer writers of major book clubs in the past two years, and they have won the seed quota, and the image of Red Maple Literature attaching importance to newcomers has come out.

The reason for this is that if a teacher at a university suddenly wins a prize in some of the world's most prestigious awards, the school he works for will also benefit.

Because of this, Han Yun is very concerned about Xia Yan and Song Lingyun.

After all.... The potential new writers in the book club are just these two people. She must hope that the new works of the two can be won at this serialization conference, so that the two will have a greater chance of getting this seed place.

"So.... What is the new work of the two? Han Yun asked.

When Tang Yin heard this, she was silent for a few seconds, she could probably sense Han Yun's thoughts, she was already anxious about how Xia Yan, a slow-burning novel that claimed to be "comprehensively transcendent" in the journey of youth, could pass the serial meeting, since Han Yun took the initiative to ask, then.... Maybe it's a small opportunity.

"Teacher Ningyun's new work... Very good. ”

"Oh?" Han Yun came to the spirit.

Judging from the manuscript of the novel she submitted, I think that her new work "Xinghai" should greatly surpass the previous work "Yesterday's Starlight". ”

Tang Yin began to blow Song Lingyun's works indiscriminately.

Editor-in-chief Han Yun took the initiative to ask about these contents, so she had to make a good impression first, and when she waited until the serialization meeting next Monday, maybe with this good impression, Xinghai's novel would win at the serialization meeting.

After all, ordinary editors only have the right to speak and decide on the serial meeting, and it has always been in the hands of Han Yun.

And after blowing the sea of stars... Tang Yin's eyes rolled a few times.

Suppressing the weakness in her heart, she also began to continue to speak with a more confident expression.

"As for Mr. Yuanqing's new work "Unheard of Flower Name", it is even better...."

....
