Chapter Twenty-Eight: Caught off Guard
Third Pole Press.
As an emerging publishing house in China, in recent years, in order to seize the market, it has held various essay collection activities.
Among them, children's literature, prose poetry, fiction and stories are the categories with the highest frequency of essays.
It's just that the effect is not ideal.
It's something that can't be helped.
After all, the famous authors in these categories have long-term cooperation with those publishing houses.
Some simply signed long-term contracts with publishers.
This kind of famous author is not something that you can dig up by holding an essay contest.
Even, even if you pay a premium, you may not be able to dig it up......
However, no matter how bad the effect of the essay is, it still has to be held.
After all, how can you occupy the market without excellent authors?
If there is no market, there will be no influence......
We can only hope that what potential newcomers will be discovered from these submissions?
It's just that this is a bitter edit.
For example, the newcomer editor of the Third Pole Publishing House, who has just turned full-fledged......
At this moment, the song "Serving the Country with Loyalty" and topics related to Li Qing are being discussed everywhere on the Internet.
She actually wanted to get involved.
After all, she is also a fan of Li Qing......
However, she had to work.
As an editor, she needs to sift through the most promising works from all over the country and recommend them to the editor-in-chief.
The number of manuscripts she recommends each month and the approval rate are related to her performance appraisal.
If you are an old editor, you usually have a group of old authors in hand, and under normal circumstances, you don't have to worry too much about this assessment.
But isn't she still a newcomer......
She doesn't have those resources.
If you want to complete the performance, you can only dig out one by one in those submitted emails.
And this is not an easy task.
It's not that no one submits.
In fact, although the influence of the previous essays held by the Third Pole Publishing House was not great, it was precisely because of the small influence that everyone preferred to submit papers to them......
This may seem incredible, but it is true.
As for the reason, these editors also know it.
It's just that their bar is lower......
And the bar is lower, although they receive more manuscripts......
But what about the quality of those manuscripts......
Don't mention it!
In Hongdou's opinion, many of those drafts can't even be sentenced......
I don't know where these people got their confidence, and they still have the ...... to drag ancient texts
Of course, that's not a big deal.
What really bothered her was that those plots ......
What's more, let's not talk about the abuse of one by one, and some of them are simply inexplicable abuse.
It seems that if you don't abuse it, you can't reflect the author's profound spiritual realm.
Every time she sees this kind of plot, she can't wait to rush to the author along the network cable, and then knock on the author's head to see what is inside......
However, she doesn't catch people along the network cable......
Therefore, she can only read the manuscript honestly......
Then, after a while, she managed to make herself dizzy......
If it was in the past, she didn't actually need to fight so hard.
After all, she only has the right to recommend manuscripts, not to decide.
Whether the manuscript should be adopted or not is still up to the editor-in-chief or even the editor-in-chief to make the decision.
Besides, in normal times, even if you look away, the loss will not be too big.
After all, when you see a potential newcomer's work, you usually send it to its magazine first, and then look at the effect.
If the effect is good, it will be arranged for publication.
In this mode, even if the editor is blind, the loss will not be too great.
But this time the essay was different.
In order to enhance the attractiveness of the essay contest, the publishing house spent a lot of money this time.
For example, one of the most important is that the award-winning work can be published directly.
If you look at it, the loss will be great.
For this reason, even if she no longer likes these works, she still has to pinch her nose and look at them carefully.
And this time, it took half an hour for her to finally finish reading the manuscript in hand.
Then, she quickly made her own assessment.
"In this article, the author has a sophisticated writing and a good foundation, but the story is too redundant and the main line ......is unclear."
In fact, the writing of this article is still good.
However, the writing is not bad.
She couldn't watch the plot at all.
However, there is no way, and the current atmosphere is like this......
Thinking of this, she looked at the time and found that it was only more than ten minutes before the meal.
She thought about it for a while, and opened the next manuscript.
After all, ten minutes was enough for him to sentence a death sentence for a manuscript of that kind that was not of high quality.
"The Legend of the Condor Heroes?"
"Could it be that the protagonist is a master with a bow, this thing, I'm afraid no one will look at it, right?"
She muttered, but opened the attachment anyway.
It won't be long anyway.
She felt that most of the novels were not good, and ten minutes was definitely enough.
Soon, the beginning of this novel was imprinted in her eyes......
Because the content sent by Li Qing was not long, this time, she quickly finished reading it.
It roughly opens with a storytelling plot, which gradually leads to the loyalty of Guo and Yang, and there seems to be some Hulu invasion and family and country feelings......
Then, a Taoist master named Qiu Chuji appeared on the scene and named the two unborn children Guo Jing and Yang Kang respectively......
Look, decent.
However, she discovered a very strange phenomenon.
In her opinion, this plot doesn't seem to be outstanding.
Even, based on her experience, she can judge that the protagonist of this book must be one of Guo Jing or Yang Kang......
However, she unconsciously finished reading this opening......
She looked at the time again, and the meal was over.
It's incredible.
As an editor, how she didn't understand what that meant.
Obviously, the quality of this book is even higher than she imagined.
Even, she didn't see anything good for a while!
Thinking of this, she looked at the name of the author of the email note.
"Gu Yong?"
"Is there such a master in the world of fiction?"
"Or is this a new person with potential?"
"Or is this simply the master's vest?"
Thinking of this, she couldn't care about eating, so she hurriedly called the editor-in-chief......
After all, whether to sign this work or not needs to be reviewed by the editor-in-chief.
As soon as the editor-in-chief heard about this, he was also in good spirits and said that he would rush back soon......
......
Although Li Qing didn't know that his works only came into the editor's sight at this time.
However, he actually has some expectations for this efficiency.
After all, the review process of a publishing house is certainly not as fast as the online articles in the previous life.
The results will come out in a month or two, and maybe they will be fast.
Therefore, at this moment, he didn't think about this at all, but was seriously trying to practice martial arts.
You know, just a few days ago, the champion award of the Sprout Cup finally came down.
Naturally, he wanted to try the effect of the Yuan Qi Liquid.
"Whew...... Suck ......"
At this moment, he was slowly fighting a set of punches.
It seems, slowly, seems to be powerless.
But if there are knowledgeable people here, I'm afraid they will be surprised......
Because, in the process of sliding his body, there was a burst of 'snoring' sound in his body.
It's like the snoring sound of a tiger when it naps......
In particular, as he finally closed his fist, the sound turned three times.
As if there was an echo......
"Finally to Lei Yin three turns......"
Li Qing was a little excited.
He knows very well that no matter what time it is, his own strength is the most important.
Therefore, during this time, he has not let go of martial arts practice.
And after this period of arduous cultivation, coupled with the insignificant auxiliary effect of the Yuan Qi Liquid, he finally reached the realm of the third turn of thunder sound, that is, the realm of condensing into three layers!
He felt like he could do it again.
It seems that he still has a talent for martial arts!
Although, in this world, the cultivation of the third layer of cultivation is actually a bit unattainable.
At least, compared to his Wendao cultivation, some can't do it.
But he still insisted on cultivating martial arts.
It's not to improve this strength.
The main thing is that the martial artist is in the realm of Yunxi, and every time he improves his cultivation, his physical fitness will be improved by one percent.
This kind of improvement is an all-round improvement in all aspects such as qi and blood, physical strength, and endurance.
And this kind of improvement in physical fitness may not be of much use in normal times.
But in some key situations, it may be of great use......
For example, he still remembers that when he was in the final of the Sprout Cup before, Lin Yue used a female voice to interpret that kind of resentful emotion, relying on the powerful aura brought by martial arts cultivation......
And in his memory, there are many songs, and the hardware requirements for the voice are very high!
Thinking of this, he decided to continue cultivating.
After all, it seems that there is still a little bit of the Yuan Qi liquid I bought before......
It's just that as soon as he adjusted the rate of breathing, Huang Yu suddenly came.
And, told him a not-so-good news.
......
"Lin Xiao's role has been finalized!"
Li Qing's expression was solemn.
In the past few days, he has been asking Huang Yu to help pay attention to the movements of Shengshi's side.
Naturally, he understood what he meant.
After all, according to Huang Yu, Sheng Shi obviously wanted to force him to renew his contract.
It's just that I've been worried that Lin Xiao's role hasn't been finalized yet, so I haven't made a move.
And this time, since Lin Xiao's side has been finalized, then Sheng Shi may make a move against him at any time.
"Sister Yu, thank you......"
"That's right......"
At this moment, a question suddenly occurred to him:
"For the next period of time, you should try not to come to me!"
"Don't worry, I understand. ”
Huang Yu nodded.
She naturally knew that coming to Li Qing at this time was actually easy to get caught on fire.
After all, the company just didn't pursue what she helped Li Qing before.
If she really wants to investigate it, she can't get rid of it.
It's just that this kind of thing is obviously not easy to say on the phone.
She knows the power of these companies.
At this moment, seeing that Li Qing paid attention to it, she didn't say anything more, and after saying a little careful, she turned around and left.
It's just that as soon as she walked out of the door, she was blocked back.
"Sister Yu, how are you ...... Ugh!"
Li Qing turned his head to look, and suddenly seemed to be choked by the neck.
"Ahem, Mr. Li, why are you here?"
He actually saw the head of the artist management department of Shengshi Media.
is also Huang Yu's top boss Li Yutong.
At this moment, he was standing at the door with an indifferent face......
