Chapter 53 Meetings and Conditions
Han Yun looked at Tang Yin.
Teacher Yuanqing has paid several times more effort than the "youth journey" for the creation of the new work "Unheard of Flower Name". Before the end of his youthful journey, he began to write this work, and often discussed the plot of the novel with me, the setting...."
Tang Yin began to boast about Xia Yan's efforts for the work "Unheard of Flower Names".
If it was an ordinary novel author, Tang Yin would definitely tell the truth to Han Yun, and if the bragging bull was not realized in the end, then Tang Yin would definitely bear the consequences alone.
Although she doesn't care about the editor's salary, she is still very serious about her work, especially since Han Yun and her father are still friends, there is no need, and Tang Yin will not fool her easily.
But Xia Yan's youth journey results are too eye-catching, and when he met before, Xia Yan's unheard flower name will comprehensively surpass the youth journey.... She was ostensibly questioning.
Are you sure? I don't believe it.
Inside, in fact, it is more of a curiosity....
How do you prove it?
When Xia Yan and Tang Yin were talking, they were actually betting that the follow-up plot of Unheard of the name of the flower would definitely have a breaking point.
And Tang Yin.... Talking to Han Yun now, he is also betting on Xia Yan, who is not a short-lived genius novel creator... I haven't heard the name of the flower.,It's really just that the plot is a little slow.,It's not that the whole story is boring!
"Okay, okay, okay, don't talk about things that don't matter. Just talk about Yuanqing's new work, the advantages and disadvantages of "unheard of flower names....." Han Yun only heard Tang Yin say a few words, and she felt a little weird.
"Okay." When Tang Yin heard this, she brushed the hair around her ears and looked straight.
"The characterization of the unheard of flower name is quite good... However, it is a slow-burning novel. Yuan Qing's original words "This work will pave a few chapters in the early stage, and in the back, there will be a big explosion of the plot!" ””
"Huh?" Hearing this, Han Yun frowned.
"Slow heat? The slow heat of the novel is in a serialized publication like "Red Maple", but it is a fatal injury! ”
"But Mr. Yuanqing said that he is confident that after this novel is serialized, the results will surpass the journey of youth in an all-round way." Tang Yin immediately added.
"I am also confident that I will lead Red Maple Literature to break out of the Dragon Country, break out of the Blue Star, hit the moon in a few decades, and open a branch of the book club on the moon." Han Yun took a sip of coffee and said a cold joke in a calm tone.
When Tang Yin heard this, her expression was embarrassed, and her clear eyes looked at the window behind Han Yun.
"Editor-in-chief, you're joking."
Tang Yin sighed in her heart, Xia Yan, Xia Yan, I helped you say good things anyway. If you have to make a slow-burning novel to participate in the competition for the serialization quota of "Red Maple", I can only do this step.
"But..."Han Yun thought of something at this time.
With Han Yun's character, even if she hopes that Xia Yan can win the serial meeting, she must remain fair and just.
If Xia Yan's new work is indeed not of sufficient quality, it is impossible to forcibly sign it and let it be serialized on "Red Maple". Although with Han Yun's authority as the editor-in-chief, she can indeed do this, but the results of the works that are forcibly signed at that time are really too poor, which is a blow to Han Yun's prestige.
"Whether it's Yuanqing, it's Ningyun.... I didn't sign an author's long-term contract with our book club. Han Yun immediately noticed another detail keenly at this time.
"Well, that's right.. Both of them rejected the book club's contract offer on the grounds that they wanted to focus on their studies. Tang Yin said when he heard this.
Han Yun's expression froze.
If Yuanqing, who is full of confidence and feels that he will be able to comprehensively surpass the "Journey of Youth", is rejected by "Red Maple" to be serialized.... What will he do?
Is it to accept reality? Still is.... Switch to other book clubs.,Try your luck to see if other book clubs will agree to the serialization of the unheard name.。
Thinking of this, Han Yun felt a little headache.
Rejecting the unheard flower name may be equivalent to rejecting the possibility of Yuan Qing continuing to cooperate with Red Maple. If Yuan Qing went to other book clubs, what else did he want for the "New God Ascension" seed quota? Wash and sleep.
"Forget it, let's talk about the serialized meeting next Monday." Han Yun thought about it and asked Tang Yin to go out first.
She has some things that she can only decide after seeing the quality of the novels participating in the competition with her own eyes at the serialization meeting.
......
On Monday, the serialization meeting of Red Maple Literature ....
This serial meeting was tense.
A total of 16 novels participated in the competition for three serialization places in the journal "Red Maple".
At the meeting, the editors verbally attacked each other, finding fault with the novels they were not responsible for.
But there are only two novels.....
The Red Dragon's "Blue Flame Tail", and the "Star Sea" of Ningyun....
It can't be said that no one picks a thorn in the egg, but in fact, most people can't force it to be black.
It's not to lie to Xiaobai, the editor-in-chief Han Yun's eyes are more poisonous than them, it doesn't matter if you forcibly embarrass the black, but this is a bit of an insult to Han Yun's IQ.
There are really novels that are deficient, and they definitely spare no effort to hack them, but those really good novels will also be given normal evaluations.
"The next novel.... Teacher Yuanqing's "unheard of flower name". ”
At the serialization meeting, the editors saw the manuscript of the novel distributed to their desks, and they immediately came to their senses.
This is that genius newcomer Yuan Qing!
The room quickly fell silent, except for the chatter of the editors turning pages.
It was only at this time that Han Yun saw Xia Yan's new work for the first time.
Waste otaku master....
Decadent life....
There is no sense of responsibility ....
As soon as these male protagonists came out, Han Yun pondered for a moment.
But wait until later, after the heroine appears.....
Her liveliness, cheerfulness, and ghost identity can be regarded as the highlight of this novel.
I met again with my childhood partner after a few years.,The male protagonist was sneered at by his childhood playmate.,After the female protagonist returned home,,Standing in front of her parents and younger brother, no one can see it.,No one can hear what you say....
This plot description really made Han Yun a little immersed in the world of the novel.
But.....
After that, the plot fell into foreshadowing again.
.....
A few minutes later....
"I think.... The plot is too slow. ”
"After reading the first chapter, I don't know what the main line of the work is!"
"The heroine is portrayed very well, but ..... The male protagonist setting is a bit boring. But it's not that I hate him, it's just.... Not interesting enough. ”
"Actually, the few supporting characters that appeared in the first chapter, whether it's the setting, the description, or it's all very interesting, and why this female protagonist turned into a ghost, why only the male protagonist can see it, and the decryption of these reasons is also attractive enough."
"It's too low! Other novels are about saving the world at every turn, or it's a vigorous love, this novel ..... A daily routine with a ghostly childhood playmate? It's not that it's not good-looking, but it's not good-looking. ”
.....
Everyone in the conference room began to discuss one by one.
Many people were relieved when they saw Tang Yin's expression.
There are a total of three serialization places, and the previous "Xinghai" is good enough, if Yuanqing's new work can still have the quality of "Youth Journey".
Then the other editors are uncomfortable, aren't they coming to accompany and watch Tang Yin return with a full load?
Therefore, at this time, we must spare no effort to fall into the well of unheard flower names.
"Hmm.... Tentative. Hearing this, Han Yun made a decision.
.....
An hour later....
Han Yun announced the results.
In the journal "Red Maple", there are three recent serialization places, one of which is: Teacher Ningyun's "Xinghai." Second: Teacher Red Dragon's "Blue Flame Tail..... Third..... TBD, tomorrow afternoon I will hold a special meeting to announce the decision! ”
After Han Yun's decision was released, everyone had no opinion on the choice of the first two works.
But the third is to be determined.....
This is less common.
The decision on serialization or not is in the hands of Han Yun, and she, who has always been a decisive person, will definitely not procrastinate.
Are the other candidate works so close? She had to think all night before she could make a decision.
The editors looked puzzled, but they didn't ask much, and walked out of the conference room one after another.
And Tang Yin also had a lost expression, and when she was about to leave the conference room, Han Yun's secretary told her to go to Han Yun's office to talk immediately.
.....
In Han Yun's office.
"You go to contact Yuan Qing today...."Han Yun sat on the chair and looked at Tang Yin.
"On "Instant Fanghua", there will be a serialization quota in the near future, and I can directly let him serialize this "unheard flower name" on it. Han Yun didn't waste any time, and said directly.
The light in Tang Yin's eyes suddenly dimmed a little....
She was suddenly called here by Han Yun, and thought that the editor-in-chief Han Yun wanted to tell her more exciting news, for example, she decided to take a gamble and believe in Xia Yan's new work.
"Of course, there is another choice...."Han Yun saw Tang Yin's expression, and he didn't sell it anymore.
Normally, she wouldn't make things so complicated.
It's true that Xia Yan is a genius novelist, but Red Maple literature can't be turned without anyone.
But considering Xia Yan's own talent, and the fact that the plot of the unheard flower name is not as dragged out as imagined, and the selection of the "New God Ascending" event ....., Xia Yan's historical results are really good, and it is very likely to be seeded.
If Xia Yan is rejected here, Xia Yan may be pushed to other book clubs, and after comprehensive consideration, Han Yun will come up with this plan.
"You said before that Xia Yan thinks that the results of "Unheard of Flower Names" will surpass "Youth Journey", right.... This novel is slow to heat, but it will explode in popularity in the later stage..."Han Yun said in a deep voice.
"At this serialization meeting, there are actually three novels, and after reading the plot of the first chapter, I feel that it will be more suitable to qualify for the third one than "Unheard of Flower Name", but those three novels... In fact, the advantage is not particularly obvious compared to the unheard flower name. The unheard name is just that the overall appearance is not so outstanding, but at least there is no obvious poison, and those three novels, the setting is good.... Even in the first chapter, there are different degrees of deficiencies... Taken together, these four novels are on the same level. ”
"Since there is not much difference in the quality of the candidates, there is no strict principle of fairness and bias. So I can choose to trust you once..... Put the third serial quota and give the unheard of nickname. ”
Tang Yin's eyes lit up when she heard this.
"But since he made an exception for Yuanqing, he also has to pay a little price." Han Yun looked at Tang Yin.
....
In the evening, Tang Yin was at home.
"The price?" Xia Yan asked suspiciously.
"At what cost?"
"It's just.... Editor-in-chief Han Yun said, "If Yuan Qing is so confident in his work, he feels that this novel is a slow heat, rather than a pure creative mistake and a boring work." even said that this work will comprehensively transcend the journey of youth..... What is said must be done! Tang Yin looked at Xia Yan with her eyes.
"She hopes that when your novel reaches the end of the serialization, the reader's vote of the novel and the score will be in the top four of the Red Maple journal! You can do this to prove that you didn't fool her with me for the sake of a serialization seat. She agreed to press the editorial department and signed the "Unheard Flower Name" to be serialized in "Red Maple". ”
"This kind of thing... Can the editor-in-chief do it? When Xia Yan heard this, he was stunned.
"Of course, otherwise how could she lead our editorial department? But everything has a price, and it is true that she has the right to decide on the serialization of the novel, but she must also consider the emotions of the editorial department and do things fairly. After making an exception for you, if the serialization results of your novel have not improved, in the eyes of the editorial department and the senior management of the book club, the scoring and assessment indicators will be affected. Tang Yin explained.
"So, your answer is?"
"This.... Of course I agree, but I would like to ask, what if I don't make it to this point? Xia Yan looked at Tang Yin.
"So the contract for your novel will change." Tang Yin took out a contract from her briefcase.
The contract stipulates that if the "unheard name" is not completed until the end, the results fail to meet the requirements of Han Yun's editor-in-chief..... As compensation, you will have to sign a "long-term" contract with our book company for a period of three years. ”
In addition to considering Xia Yan's potential, whether he would run away from other book clubs, and the possibility of the selection of new gods, Han Yun was also interested in Xia Yan himself.
With a serial quota in the Red Maple periodical, to Bo these things, in her opinion, it is earned.
If you don't hear that the name of the flower is really serialized, the results will become popular in the later stage, like a youth journey.
When the time comes, she Han Yun is discerning, and no one will talk about her.
But if it's the opposite, and the results have been tepid since the serialization of the name, it doesn't matter.
Han Yun didn't believe that Xia Yan was a potential newcomer light novel writer, and he really didn't do anything in the three-year contract. I haven't heard of the famous results, the loss is acceptable, as long as Xia Yan's talent is still there, this loss can be slowly made up for in about three years.
"How do you decide?" Tang Yin was a little nervous in her heart.
Xia Yan lowered his head and thought for half a minute, then looked up at Tang Yin.
"If I'm afraid of even this little risk, then what am I fighting for with you? Accept the editor-in-chief's first proposal, and continue to serialize the new work in "Instant Fanghua". And..... Even if you don't achieve the grades, you don't have to lose money, just sign a three-year contract. Tied to Red Maple Literature for three years, it's not for my life, for other novelists, I'm afraid I'll wake up laughing at this condition when I dream. Xia Yan let out a long breath.
"Besides, as long as the finished issue is over, the results of Unheard Flower Names are in the top four of the "Red Maple" journal... As long as the serial results are reached, this contract is no different from the previous contract. ”
"I agree with Editor-in-Chief Han Yun's proposal."
Xia Yan is not a procrastinator, so he decided immediately.
Tang Yin thought that Xia Yan would think for a long time, but in fact... The conversation between them ended in half an hour.
She's in the day .... It feels a little unreal.
After two years in the industry, I didn't let a young writer under his command be able to serialize his works in the journal "Red Maple".
But at the moment....
After she saw Xia Yan sign the contract with her own eyes.
This also means that today, there are two novel creators under her command, and they have obtained the serialization qualification of the "Red Maple" journal at the same time.
Although the process was a bit bumpy.......
But it is true, at this serial meeting, the best result she can think of.
.....
