Damn it!
You can insult me, but you must never insult the red-haired old monster!
The red-haired old monster is the god in my heart!
"Then tell me, why is this book not okay?" Shen Xian replied.
Arriving downstairs at the company, the editor-in-chief threw the car keys to the driver and sat in the back seat alone.
Anyway, I'm free here anyway, so I might as well criticize the new authors and let them realize that writing for the Internet is not that easy. It's also a good idea to let them face the reality.
“You said your book is a traditional fantasy, but why did the detector appear and the giant bronze coffin? I don’t understand!” the editor-in-chief replied.
"Just because you don't understand it doesn't mean it's not possible. This book will definitely create a new genre!" Shen Xian said.
"It's so funny, every author I met said this, but in the end, after writing 20,000 or 30,000 words, their works are so mediocre that even their parents can't recognize them!" The editor-in-chief wanted to laugh, "Where do all these stupid authors come from!"
Shen Xian continued to reply: "You can insult me, but you can't insult this book!"
"Okay, okay, then let me ask you, do you have any history grades?" the editor-in-chief asked, "How many words have you written before?"
Shen Xian said: “First time writing.”
The editor-in-chief completely lost interest: "Okay, I get it, let's look elsewhere, they won't work here anyway!"
Shen Xian replied with a famous quote: “Okay, I just want to tell you that this book will definitely be a big hit, don’t regret it then!”
"Thirty years in the west, thirty years in the east. Don't despise the young because they are poor!"
"Remember my pen name, Jun Wuyang!"
"One day, this pen name will blind your eyes!"
Foolish luck.
A hint of crazy laughter escaped from the editor-in-chief's mouth.
He has seen this kind of situation too many times. He was promoted from editor-in-chief and met too many new authors. Every one of them believed that their book would definitely be a hit.
But what in the end?
I don’t even know the trash’s parents.
Arriving at the hotel entrance, the editor-in-chief got out of the car and looked back at the manuscript, shaking his head: "It doesn't conform to the mainstream at all, it's ridiculous!"
"What's not in line with the mainstream?" A cold voice sounded in my ears.
The editor-in-chief looked up and saw a tall but extremely pure woman wearing a light blue sweater and long skirt standing in front of him.
Lin Zhixia!
"Hello, Mr. Lin, nice to see you again!" The editor-in-chief immediately spoke politely.
Lin Zhixia nodded: "Let's go in and talk?"
With the editor-in-chief's status, he is not qualified to attend this wedding.
But in order to save time, Lin Zhixia invited the editor-in-chief to come over and prepare to discuss cooperation with him while having dinner at the wedding scene.
This happened more than once today.
For the rich, time is money.
First, use fragmented time to roughly discuss a framework or direction of cooperation, and then sign the contract in a formal setting, which saves a lot of time.
There were already quite a few people at the wedding, and the two found a secluded table and sat down.
"What did Chief Editor Lu just say that is not in line with the mainstream?" Lin Zhixia asked.
She is now also very interested in online literature, or rather, she is more interested in money.
Although the level of online literature in this world is underdeveloped, it has a large readership base and a large population.
There is a greater chance of adaptation.
A fantasy book that Shen Xian thought was written in the style of an elementary school student, the game copyright was easily sold for more than three million, the physical book sold five or six hundred thousand copies, and the film and television copyright was sold for tens of millions after it was incubated.
And because the copyright protection laws in this world are very complete, piracy will never occur.
So if a book brings a company tens of millions or even millions in profit, it's just a drop in the bucket.
This doesn't even include being made into a movie.
If the movie is adapted and has a large readership base, a box office of billions would be a piece of cake.
But she had never been involved in this industry before, so she planned to start by asking small questions.
"Oh, haha." Lu Bo took out his phone. "I received a manuscript in my mailbox early last night. This manuscript is completely inconsistent with the mainstream. The author and I argued for a long time this morning."
Although the editor-in-chief's email address and contact information are posted on the website, once he reaches the position of editor-in-chief, he basically no longer accepts manuscripts. Even if he does, he only accepts manuscripts from great writers.
No author is so stubborn as to submit his manuscript to the editor-in-chief the first time.
The correct process should be like this.
It is submitted to the responsible editor. If the responsible editor reviews it and thinks it is okay, it is submitted to the chief editor. If the chief editor thinks it is OK, it is submitted to the editor-in-chief for final decision.
Of course, that is the process for high-priced manuscripts or writers with a certain fame.
For general manuscripts, the editor-in-charge has the authority to make the final decision.
If the editor thinks the manuscript is not good, he will reject it directly.
Therefore, authors like Chen Xian who submit their manuscripts to the editor-in-chief right away are rare.
Editor-in-Chief Lu Bo first explained the process to Lin Zhixia, and then said, "He's a newcomer who can't be any newer, and he even said shamelessly that he would make me regret it."
Lin Zhixia immediately became interested: "What kind of manuscript is it? Can I take a look at it?"
Lin Zhixia had spoken to him on the phone before, and the general idea was to focus on copyright, especially the copyright of fantasy books, to incubate a batch of fantasy books, make them into big IPs, and officially enter the online literature industry.
The total value contributed by the online literature industry last year was more than 20 billion. The cake is huge, and Lin Zhixia also wants to have a piece of it.
Naturally, Lu Bo would not refuse the sponsor's proposal and directly forwarded the manuscript to Lin Zhixia.
Lin Zhixia studied it very seriously, but after reading for a while she shook her head: "It's actually well written, but I can't get on with it. There's nothing too attractive about it. Maybe it's because I'm a female reader and I don't like reading this kind of stuff."
