For a large bookstore like Liuli Books, if it is to be serialized in some popular periodicals, the process may be similar to that of Red Maple Literature.

However, for the two top journals in the company, "Colored Glass" and "Colored Glass".

The selection of each of the books serialized on it is too complicated.

If it's a newcomer's first submission and wants to serialize it on it, the possibility is extremely low, unless you really have the plot of the first two chapters so good that it explodes, which will surprise the editor.

Most of them are Xia Yan, who has a certain level of achievement, and after reaching a cooperation with the agent of the book club, and then the agent operates within the book club, it is possible to put the work in a journal of this level to be serialized.

At the end of August, Xia Yan's new work Parasitic Beast was submitted to the high-level serialization meeting of the Liuli Book Society for the first time.

In this issue, there are only three candidates in total, and everyone in the meeting has plenty of time to carefully read the plot of the early chapters of each book.

Avoid the indiscriminate stuff that only writes the beginning of the plot and the end of the story to be serialized on these two periodicals.

The creators of the other two books that compete with Xia Yan are both long-term authors of Liuli Books.

One is named Li Mu, the other is named Qian Jing, they are in their twenties, and they are both light authors who are well-known in the Dragon Kingdom.

Although the results of the works are not enough compared to Xia Yan, the best works created by the two in their past careers are only the average sales of 1.3 million copies.

Compared with Xia Yan's unheard of the flower name, which exceeded 5 million copies, and the achievement of breaking 4.1 million copies in just one month after it was released on the moon, there is a world of difference.

But throughout the serial meeting, a group of participants still fell into a brief silence.

"Okay, everyone should have read the three books, now let's speak."

Sun Siyu, the editor-in-chief of Liuli Books, is a middle-aged man in his forties, who looked at the agents and editors of the bookstore who participated in the meeting and took the initiative to speak.

"I think the parasite is overwhelmingly interesting compared to the other two." An editor lifted the glasses on the bridge of his nose and spoke.

"I think so, I deserve to be the first person to be selected by the new gods. The work of parasitic beasts, I think it's really interesting, and the setting of the man-eating monster is also very novel, and I think it will be very marketable after it comes out. After someone spoke, there were soon followers to comment.

"I don't agree, the man-eating monster hides in the city, disguises itself as a human being. This kind of setting is too shocking, and he also writes about it, and the details of those monsters eating people are depicted in such detail. This is more like a horror, which does not match the style of our book club's work. ”

"What age? It's also a style of writing, as long as it looks interesting, it's enough, everything else is nothing. A royal and bloody work, no one reads it, no matter how correct the style is, will you let it be serialized? ”

"But Yuan Qing him, no matter how he persuaded him, he didn't plan to sign a long-term contract with our book club, and everyone knows what this means."

Among the attendees, Meng Lin opened her mouth and said lightly.

After this sentence was said, many people frowned.

After signing a long-term contract with the book club, all kinds of benefits will be improved, but Yuan Qing is unwilling, which can only show that he is very confident in himself and feels that he will definitely become a popular writer.

After all, judging from the contract conditions of the newcomer, the contract conditions of the Liuli Book Society are quite good, but if Yuan Qing really grows to that point, this kind of contract will suffer, so he will resist the long-term contract so much.

Of course, it is human nature to take precautions, but only thinking about becoming famous with the influence of the book club, but unwilling to take risks, how can there be such a good thing?

If you don't have a book club to support you, how can you grow to that point? Since you are popular, limiting you to ten years or eight years through a contract is also a kind of resource exchange and choice.

But there is no fixed answer to this kind of chicken-and-egg or first-egg question, the book club has its reasoning, and Xia Yan also has his own ideas.

"But 80% of the authors who have cooperated with our book club have not signed long-term contracts, and they have not cooperated well with the book club." Bai Xuan immediately spoke at this time.

"Those people have no potential, the book club doesn't want to sign with them, can Yuanqing be in the same situation?" Meng Lin looked at Bai Xuan with a smile.

Xia Yan himself was connected with Meng Lin, and inexplicably Xia Yan took the initiative to cooperate with Bai Xuan, and Meng Lin must be uncomfortable in her heart. At the beginning, I wanted to hang Xia Yan, thinking that young people would definitely be unable to hold their breath for a long time, and give up the ridiculous idea of not signing a long contract.

But Xia Yan was so outrageous, he went directly to find Bai Xuan, but Meng Lin couldn't say a word after eating this dumb loss, after all, he treated Xia Yan coldly first. It must be reasonable for Xia Yan to take the initiative to find other people later, and this situation has made her uncomfortable to death in the past few days.

From the company's interests, or from personal selfishness.

Meng Lin, in fact, didn't want Xia Yan's book to be serialized smoothly.

What she can't get, others better not get.

At the meeting, Bai Xuan and Meng Lin faced each other at the meeting, and the others basically watched from the wall.

evening

Xia Yan received a message from Bai Xuan.

"The serialization didn't go well. The two works that compete with you were written by the director of the book about the author. The editor-in-chief Sun Siyu said that the results will be announced tomorrow, but . I reckon. In the case of this serialization meeting, the hope of the parasitic beast passing does not seem to be very large, and the next serialization meeting on the "Liuli" journal is in early September."

"Actually, if you agree to sign a long-term contract with the book club now, I can assure you that tomorrow morning, your work will definitely be selected for serialization in "Glass Color" without any controversy. And the book society gives you extremely high resources for this work to promote and operate. Bai Xuan mentioned it appropriately on the phone at this time.

"No need. Thank you, Sister Xuan, for your kindness. Xia Yan said calmly on the phone.

He's definitely not going to put a big shackle on himself just to be busy serializing the parasitic beast, not to mention anything else, after signing a long contract, what will the magical girl Madoka do?

At that time, it will be the people of the Liuli Book Society, and there will be no way to be so free. It's impossible to really write the magic circle as light and serialized on the glass book club, right?

Xia Yan can understand the concerns of the Liuli Book Society and the motives for these actions, but understanding is understanding, on this issue, Xia Yan and the Liuli Book Society are not in the same boat of interests.

The other party knew his potential and was reluctant to let him go, but Xia Yan knew his own situation better, and it was impossible for him to be so short-sighted.

"Well, I see what you mean, I won't ask this kind of question next time." Bai Xuan was silent for a few seconds before saying.

"In early September, two of them will be completed in the journal "Liuli", and I will submit your book to the serialization meeting at that time."
