A Perfect Life Beginning as a Light Novel Writer

Chapter 54 Han Yun and the Conversation

May
The weather was hot, and everyone was sweating profusely even though they were wearing thin clothes.

Under such a temperature, in the office building of Hongfeng Literature, all the employees in the editorial department are full of energy, and they don't see any signs of depression at all.

After all, it is very rare for a journal like "Red Maple" to have three serial slots in such a short period of time. Everyone is working hard and waiting for the arrival of next Monday.

"I said, Lao Zhou, the "Red Dragon" teacher you are in charge of contacting, I heard that there is also a new work to be submitted to the serial meeting next Monday, right?"

"Oh, yes, although his performance in historical novels can't be said to be very good, but this time there are three opportunities for serialization, just in case luck happens."

"Although there are more opportunities this time than usual, the competition is also much greater than usual!"

"After all, as long as a work can be serialized on "Red Maple", it represents fame and wealth. Novels that can be serialized on "Red Maple", any novel, peripherals, booklets, and additional manuscript fees can be hundreds of dollars. Wan, the average salary in Southern Province is only less than [-]. This income is also very tempting for those veteran writers. What's more, what if the work is adapted into animation or movies, TV series? The upper limit of income is hard to say gone."

"Indeed, who would struggle with money, just work hard to serialize casually for half a year, and earn a stable income of more than one million. If I have the strength, I have to come to the competition."

"However. In fact, whether it is "Nandou, Torii, Duoyu, Red Dragon, or Dongmeng, they are actually not the most competitive novel authors in this serial meeting."

"Who is that?"

"That Yuanqing! Now the total sales volume of the first volume and the second volume of Journey of Youth has exceeded 80 copies, and the average sales volume of this work has exceeded 40 copies, and this figure is still rising. The results are really advantageous. Except for Yuan Qing, other competitors, their novel historical results, basically sell between 20 and 30 volumes, which is already the highest."

"Hey, don't panic. Haven't you heard of the saying that it's too late to be great? The light novel world is even more cruel. It doesn't need to span so many years. Sometimes life's ups and downs only take a year. A novel The works created in the first half of the year are still popular masterpieces, but in the second half of the year, there are many examples of new works that fail to pass the serial meeting because of insufficient quality.”

"But after all, a light novel writer who has created this kind of achievement novel, his new work...can't be underestimated! After all, this person is so young, he may be short-lived in the light novel world, but more likely...youth The journey may be just a starting point, his beginning."

In the editorial department, a group of colleagues were chatting privately.

In the office of the editor-in-chief of the editorial department, Tang Yin and editor-in-chief Han Yun were reporting to work.

"Well, that is to say, Yuan Qing and Ning Yun, the two talented rookies under your command, are all interested in participating in this serialization meeting, right?"

Although Han Yun is 40 years old, she pays attention to diet and maintenance on weekdays. Her mental state is very sufficient, and her demeanor has a ray of elegance.

She put down the teacup in her hand and asked suddenly.

"The new work of these two people. Have you seen it?"

"I've read it. But you are the editor-in-chief." A trace of doubt flashed across Tang Yin's expression.

Generally speaking, before the serialization meeting started, Han Yun would not pay attention to these pending novels.

"Isn't this still thinking about the "New God's Ranking" event in the second half of the year? Originally, I thought that these two talented newcomers might have to have another novel with excellent grades as their historical performance resume in order to be selected for Shangnan Province The seed qualification. But in fact, you also understand that whether it is the journey of youth or the results of yesterday's starlight, they are all very good." Han Yun laughed.

"At least, compared with the new novelists who have risen in the past two years under the other four large book clubs in Southern Province, the results of the two of them are not only not bad, but they are also ahead, especially Yuanqing. Although he has no work in "" It was serialized in periodicals of the level of "Red Maple". However...his works are very popular, and he is the only one among newcomer novels in the province with absolute achievements in single volumes."

In fact, participating in this kind of activity does not have any substantial benefits for Hongfeng Literature.

But there are no obvious benefits, but in other aspects, it has greatly benefited Hongfeng Literature.

Whether it is Xia Yan or Song Lingyun, if they put their novels into the "New God's Climbing Rank" event to participate in the competition, the copyright of the participating novels is also theirs, and Hongfeng Literature has no chance to get their hands on it.

After all, it is a selection event for potential newcomers in the novel world. The organizer clearly stated that the works are only for competition, and 100% of the copyright is in the hands of the creators. Otherwise, the taste of this event will change.As for Red Maple Literature, the participating novels have not been serialized in the journals of the book club from the beginning to the end, and any income from the participating novels has nothing to do with the book club.

Then why is Hongfeng Literature so keen on doing this kind of thing? I hope Xia Yan and Song Lingyun can get the seed places.

The answer is not to make a profit, just the name of the picture.

But for all the novel authors recommended by the book club to participate in the competition for the seed quota, who really won the seed quota.

That's for sure, the author of this novel will be bound to the reputation of Hongfeng Literature to a certain extent.

Be it Xia Yan or Song Lingyun, as long as they get the seed quota, Hongfeng Literature can take advantage of the popularity of this event in Longguo.

It was widely publicized in the southern province and helped Hongfeng Literature establish a good image in the industry.

The novels submitted by newcomers can also become popular, and they have also overwhelmed the newcomer writers of the major book clubs in the past two years, and won the seed quota, and the image of Red Maple Literature's emphasis on newcomers came out.

The reason is the same as when a teacher in a university suddenly wins an award in some well-known international award selection activities, the school he works for will also benefit.

Because of this, Han Yun paid close attention to both Xia Yan and Song Lingyun.

After all, these two are the only potential new writers in the book club.She definitely hoped that the new works of both of them could achieve something in this serial meeting, so that the chances of the two of them getting the seed quota would be even greater.

"So... how about their new works?" Han Yun asked.

Hearing this, Tang Yin was silent for a few seconds. She probably sensed Han Yun's inner thoughts. She was already anxious about how Xia Yan's slow-moving novel, which claimed to "completely surpass" the journey of youth, could pass the serialization meeting. Since Han Yun asked , that might also be a small chance.

"Teacher Ning Yun's new work is excellent."

"Oh?" Han Yun regained her spirits.

"Based on the manuscript of the novel she submitted, I think her new work "Xinghai" should surpass her previous work "Yesterday's Starlight" by a large margin."

Tang Yin began to rave about Song Lingyun's works.

Editor-in-chief Han Yun took the initiative to ask about these things, so she had to make a good impression on her first. When the serialization meeting was held next Monday, perhaps relying on this good impression, the novel Xinghai won the serialization meeting.

After all, ordinary editors only have the right to speak and make decisions about serial conferences, which has always been in Han Yun's hands.

And after blowing Xinghai, Tang Yin rolled her eyes a few times.

Suppressing the guilt in her heart, she also began to continue talking with a more confident expression.

"As for Mr. Yuanqing's new work "Unheard Flower Name", it is even better"

　Slow down the next chapter.Why did this happen in the past few days, because at night time, I was too engrossed in chasing Hurricane TV series, I was immersed in Brother Qiang's world and couldn't get out.Therefore, the codeword time is delayed a bit.
