After marrying Tianhou, I suddenly became popular

Chapter 41 The daily life of the editorial department (seeking a monthly ticket)

Coffee and strong tea are about to develop resistance.

In order to maintain her concentration while reviewing manuscripts, she got up and went to the bathroom to wash her face and touch up her makeup.

After staying up late and working overtime for many days, no matter how tender the skin is, it is now yellow and dry.

In a similar state to An Lan, there were two other female editors from the third editorial department. The three of them went to the bathroom to wash their faces and touch up their makeup.

"How about it, is there any manuscript suitable for pushing?"

"No, although the number of contributors has doubled this year compared to previous years, the quality is uneven. The sharp-eyed manuscripts make my head hurt."

"Difficult!"

"Yeah, there are quite a few bastards in the autumn newcomer competition every year, and they all feel that they are the ones chosen that day, and they can please countless readers by writing whatever they want."

Each editor has different recommendation channels and recommendation quotas. Once a work recommended by an editor performs well in the competition, or even becomes a hit, it is linked to the commission performance.

Therefore, the editors are very cautious about the number of recommended places in their hands. Unless they see the submission of a novel that is love at first sight, they will not give out the recommended places in their hands until the last moment.

at this time.

The short-haired female editor said: "This year's submissions are still mainly about the recovery of urban supernatural powers and spiritual energy. There are too many writers. It is too difficult to pick the best one among them."

This sentence is correct.

The core novels of Master Culture Publishing House are themes of the urban supernatural genre, and the urban genre is mainly based on supernatural powers and spiritual recovery.

There are many people who write this type of essay, and most of them are submitted to Confucius Culture Publishing House, so it is not an easy task to choose the best one from the many submissions.

"After all, it's a popular topic!"

"It's just a pity that most people follow the popular styles in the market, and few innovate and write their own unique articles."

"It's hard to innovate, but if you really want to be able to write something different, it's easy to make hits on popular topics."

After putting on the lipstick, An Lan looked at the mirror of the sink and said, "There are quite a few supernatural submissions this year, but there aren't any particularly eye-catching ones."

Another female editor took over and said: "The development momentum of novels with supernatural themes in recent years is not particularly ideal. There are too many restrictions given above, and it is difficult to become a hit, let alone follow-up IP adaptation and promotion."

There are many restrictions, you can't write this, you can't write that, sometimes you don't know what prohibited words you have written, and then they are taken off the shelves for rectification, which leads to fewer and fewer novelists writing supernatural novels.

Everyone is scared.

The three female editors finished their makeup and left the bathroom hand in hand.

In the editorial department, most of the editors are optimistic about urban powers and aura recovery, and the review standards are basically in line with these themes.

But An Lan prefers novels with supernatural themes, and of course she also likes novels with urban supernatural abilities.

She has always wanted to find a supernatural horror novel that can become a hit, but will not be taken off the shelves.

It's a pity that this is not an easy task, because there are too many restrictions, and some ghosts and monsters can't be written, so why write horror novels.

Are people scary?

Besides, the authors who submitted the manuscripts are not stupid. It is a very realistic truth to write about any subject matter that is easy to pass the manuscript.

Sticking to one's own style and not conforming to the trend of the market is the privilege of some super hall-level writers because they have a group of loyal readers.

After reviewing manuscripts for several days, An Lan still couldn't find a novel manuscript that satisfied her.

It took a few minutes to read another manuscript.

An Lan rubbed the center of her eyebrows, stretched her arms, and her towering twin peaks bulged forward. Fortunately, the material of the clothes and the buttons were of excellent quality, which did not let her break free.

When I move my body, I feel a lot more relaxed.

With this strength.

An Lan opened a new manuscript.

However, the name of the manuscript this time made An Lan raise her eyebrows slightly, and pursed her ruddy lips.

You managed to get my attention jpg.
The name of this manuscript is "Ghost Blowing the Lantern".

"Ghost blowing the lamp?"

Such a strange title, always feels eerie.

Supernatural?

or horror?
An Lan can swear that she is definitely not a person who stands up and down again, but she still frowned almost instinctively when she saw such a horror novel written in front of her.

It's true that you like supernatural themes.

But...it's dangerous to write 'ghost'!
"Another new author who is not afraid of death." An Lan identified the author of this book.

A slightly knowledgeable author would never use this word in his name even if he writes a ghost, because he is afraid that the higher-ups will not know that you are writing a ghost, right?

So arrogant!

However, as a professional editor, although An Lan has already sentenced this book to death, she will not directly PS without reviewing the manuscript. If the author is a potential new author with online brains and writing skills, she is still very interested in getting to know and cultivate it of.

This is common in the world of fiction.

When encountering potential but relatively young authors, the editors will also try to guide and train them. There is even an author close to the palace level who grew up under the guidance of editors. Of course, they will encounter countless times in this process. denial and disapproval.

It requires a lot of psychological endurance.

An Lan moved the mouse, clicked on the manuscript, and the computer opened the first page.

The story begins.

[Tomb robbery is not sightseeing, not reciting poems and prose, but a technology, a technology of destruction.When the ancient nobles built their tombs, they must have tried every means to prevent their own tombs from being stolen. Therefore, they used all kinds of hidden weapons and ambushes in the tombs, such as huge stones, quicksand, poisonous arrows, poisonous insects, traps, etc. ...]

"Prologue?"

An Lan nodded, the beginning of the preface was good and attractive enough.

The vision unfolded by the cemetery is also very thoughtful. Could it be that the corpse crawled out of the coffin with wisdom... Thinking so, An Lan continued to click on the next page.

[My grandfather’s name is Hu Guohua. Hu’s ancestors were well-known big landlords in ten miles and eight villages. In the most glorious period, he bought more than 40 houses connected by three alleys in the city. During the period, there were some officials and businessmen... 】

"No.1 name?"

An Lan's pretty eyebrows frowned slightly.

These days, there are still people who dare to use No.1 visual writing. They really don’t know how dead characters are written.

The good impression he had just because of the good subject matter suddenly disappeared.

An Lan had some headaches. This was her old problem and an occupational disease.

Gently rubbing her temples, she clicked on the next page.

A few years ago, No.1 said that there was still a market for visual writing, but with the development and progress of novels, No.1 said that novels written from perspectives have been gradually abandoned and forgotten by readers.

Many readers even began to hate No.1 titles. When they saw novels written from the perspective of No.1 titles, they would abandon the books without even reading the content.

This quality has nothing to do, I just don't like the No.1 scale, because it looks very uncomfortable and awkward.

There is no reason, just abandon the book.

It's that simple and pure.

An Lan didn't scratch it, but continued to read. This is the professionalism of an editor, and the reviewer must read at least [-] words.

Looking at it, An Lan became a little fascinated.

【In order to deal with his uncle, Hu Guohua went back home and found a paper maker in the village, the kind of craftsman who burned the dead.The craftsman of this paper figurine is very skilled. He made a white paper paste paper woman for Hu Guohua as required, and painted eyebrows, eyes, nose, clothes, and head on the paper figurine with watercolors. Looking at it from a distance, hey !It’s really like a living person...]

"hiss!"

An Lan gasped, feeling a little uncomfortable all over.

Looking at the incandescent lamps in the office and the colleagues reviewing manuscripts with their heads down, I always feel that something is wrong, something that cannot be explained.

A chill came from An Lan's back. Of course, she knew what paper-making figurines were. This tradition still exists in the countryside of her hometown.

She had seen it when she was a child, and she cried several times when she was frightened. This kind of paper doll looks very creepy.

"Something."

Having been made to cry by paper figurines, she has a sense of imagery for paper figurines made of white paper.
