A Perfect Life Beginning as a Light Novel Writer

Chapter 55 Meetings and Conditions

Han Yun looked at Tang Yin.

"Mr. Yuanqing has put in several times more effort than "Youth Journey" in the creation of the new work "Unheard Flower Name".Before the end of his youth journey, he began to create this work, and often discussed the plot and setting of the novel with me.”

Tang Yin began to brag about Xia Yan's hard work on "Unheard Flower Name".

If it was an ordinary novel author, Tang Yin would definitely tell Han Yun the truth, and if the bragging didn't come true in the end, then Tang Yin must bear the consequences alone.

Although she doesn't care about the editor's salary, she still takes her work very seriously, especially since Han Yun and her father are still good friends, there is no need, and Tang Yin will not fool her easily.

But Xia Yan's achievements in Youth Journey are really impressive. When I met him before, Xia Yan personally said that this work will completely surpass Youth Journey. On the surface, she was questioning.

Really?I don't believe it.

Inside, it's actually more of a curiosity.
How do you prove it?

When Xia Yan and Tang Yin were talking, they were actually betting that the follow-up plot of the unheard flower name would definitely have a hot spot.

And Tang Yin. Talking with Han Yun now, is betting on Xia Yan, not a short-lived genius novel creator. She has never heard of the name. It is indeed just that the plot has slowed down a bit, not that the whole story is boring!

"Okay, okay, don't talk about those irrelevant things. Just talk about the advantages and disadvantages of Yuanqing's new work, "Unheard Flower Name." Han Yun only heard Tang Yin say a few words, and felt Kind of weird.

"Okay." Hearing this, Tang Yin stroked the hair around her ears, and straightened her face.

"The character creation of Unknown Huaming is excellent. However, it is a slow-moving novel. Genqing's original words "This work will have a few chapters in the early stage, and in the later stage, there will be a big explosion of the plot! ""

"Huh?" Han Yun frowned upon hearing this.

"Slow popularity? The slow popularity of novels in serial novels such as "Red Maple" is fatal!"

"But Teacher Yuanqing said that he is confident that after the serialization of this novel, the results will surpass Journey of Youth in an all-round way." Tang Yin added immediately.

"I still have the confidence to lead Red Maple Literature out of the Dragon Country, out of the Blue Star, and reach the moon in a few decades, and open a branch of the book club on the moon." Han Yun took a sip of coffee and said in a calm tone A bad joke.

Tang Yin's expression was awkward when she heard this, and she looked at the window behind Han Yun with her clear eyes.

"Editor, you are joking."

Tang Yin sighed inwardly, "Xia Yan, oh Xia Yan, I'll help you with the good things anyway."If you insist on creating a slow novel to compete for the serial number of "Red Maple", I can only do this.

"But." Han Yun thought of something at this moment.

With Han Yun's character, even if she hopes that Xia Yan can win the serialization meeting, she still has to maintain fairness.

If Xia Yan's new work is indeed of insufficient quality, it is impossible to forcibly draw a lottery to serialize it on "Red Maple".Although Han Yun's position as the editor-in-chief can indeed allow her to do this, but the performance of the works that are forced to be signed is really too poor, which will be a blow to Han Yun's prestige.

"Neither Yuanqing nor Ningyun signed a long-term author contract with our book club." Han Yun immediately noticed another detail keenly.

"Well, that's right... Both of them rejected the book club's contract invitation on the grounds that they wanted to focus on their studies." Tang Yin said after hearing the words.

Han Yun's expression froze.

Then if Yuanqing is full of confidence and believes that he will be able to fully surpass the "Journey of Youth" work, but "Red Maple" refuses to serialize. What will he do?
Is it to accept reality?Or switch to other book clubs, try your luck to see if other book clubs will agree to serialize the unheard of Huaming.

Thinking of this, Han Yun felt a little headache.

Rejecting Unheard Huaming might be tantamount to rejecting Yuanqing's possibility of continuing to cooperate with Hongfeng.If Yuan Qing went to other bookstores, what would he think about the "New God's Ranking" seed quota?Wash and sleep.

"Forget it, let's talk about the serial meeting next Monday." Han Yun thought for a while and asked Tang Yin to go out first.

She has some things that can only be decided after the serialization meeting has seen the quality of the novels participating in the competition.

On Monday, at the serialization meeting of Red Maple Literature.
This serial meeting is tense.

A total of [-] novels participated in the competition for three serial places in the journal "Red Maple".

At the meeting, the editors criticized each other verbally, picking out various faults in the novels that they were not responsible for.

But there are only two novels
Red Dragon's "Blue Flame Tail", and Ning Yun's "Star Sea".
It can't be said that no one picks the thorn in the egg, but in fact, most people can't force black.

It's not to lie to Xiaobai, the editor-in-chief Han Yun's eyes are worse than theirs, it doesn't matter if you forcefully embarrass him, but this seems to insult Han Yun's IQ.

They will definitely spare no effort in blackening novels that are really deficient, but everyone will give normal evaluations to those truly excellent novels.

"The next novel. Teacher Yuanqing's "Unheard Flower Name"."

At the serialization meeting, a group of editors saw the manuscript of the novel distributed on their desks, and immediately regained their spirits.

This is that genius rookie Yuan Qing!

The conference room quickly calmed down, leaving only the sound of the editors turning pages.

It was also the first time Han Yun saw Xia Yan's new work until now.

Abandoned Homeboy
decadent life
irresponsible.
As soon as these male protagonists were set up, Han Yun pondered for a moment.

But wait until later, after the heroine appears
Her liveliness, cheerfulness, and ghost identity finally make this novel's highlights appear.

After a few years of reunion with his childhood friend, the male protagonist was ridiculed by his childhood playmates. After the female protagonist returned home, she stood in front of her parents and brother, but no one could see her, and no one could hear her.
This description of the plot really allowed Han Yun to immerse himself in the world of the novel a little bit.

But
Later, the plot fell into foreshadowing again.

After a few minutes
"I think the plot is too slow."

"After reading Chapter 1, I don't know what the main line of the work is!"

"The female lead is well portrayed, but the male lead is a bit boring. But it's not that I hate him, it's just that it's not interesting enough."

"Actually, the setting and description of the supporting characters in Chapter 1 are quite interesting, as well as why the heroine turned into a ghost and why only the hero can see it. The decipherment of these reasons is also very interesting. Enticing enough."

"The layout is too low! Other novels are always about saving the world, or a vigorous love affair. This novel. The daily life with the ghost's childhood playmate? It's not that it's not good, but it's not good enough."

Everyone in the conference room started the discussion with each other.

Many people breathed a sigh of relief seeing Tang Yin's expression.

There are a total of three serial slots, the previous "Xinghai" is already good enough, if Yuanqing's new work can still have the quality of "Youth Journey".

Then the other editors will feel uncomfortable. Isn't this coming to accompany and watch Tang Yin return home with a full load?
So at this time, we must spare no effort to add insult to injury to the unknown flower name.

"En tentatively." Han Yun made a decision after hearing this.

after an hour
Han Yun announced the results.

"In the journal "Red Maple", there are three recent serial places, one of which is Teacher Ning Yun's "Xinghai.The second: Teacher Honglong's "The Flame Tail of Cang". The third is to be determined, and I will hold a special meeting tomorrow afternoon to announce the decision! "

After Han Yun's decision was made, everyone had no opinion on the choice of the first two works.

but the third is pending
This situation is relatively rare.

The decision of whether to serialize or not is in Han Yun's hands, and she has always been a decisive person, and she will never procrastinate.

Are the strength gaps of the other candidate works so close?She has to think all night to make a decision.

The editors looked puzzled, but they walked out of the meeting room one after another without asking any further questions.

And Tang Yin also looked disappointed. When she was about to leave the meeting room, Han Yun's secretary told her to go to Han Yun's office to talk immediately.

In Han Yun's office.

"You go to contact Yuanqing today." Han Yun sat on the chair and looked at Tang Yin.

"There will be a serialization quota for "Instant Youth" in the near future. I can directly let his "Unheard Flower Name" be serialized on it." Han Yun said directly without wasting time.

The light in Tang Yin's eyes suddenly dimmed a bit.
She was called here suddenly by Han Yun, and she thought that the editor-in-chief Han Yun wanted to tell her more exciting news, for example, she decided to take a gamble and believe in Xia Yan's new work.

"Of course, there is another choice." Seeing Tang Yin's expression, Han Yun didn't hold back anymore.

Normally, she wouldn't make things so complicated.

It's true that Xia Yan is a genius novelist, but it's not like Hongfeng Literature can't move without anyone.

But considering Xia Yan's own talent, and the fact that the plot of Unheard Huaming is not as procrastinated as expected, and the selection of the "New God's Climbing Rank" event, Xia Yan's historical results are indeed good, and it is very likely that he will get a seed qualifications.

If Xia Yan is rejected here, Xia Yan may be pushed to other book clubs. After comprehensive consideration, Han Yun will come up with this plan.

"You said before that Xia Yan thinks that "Unheard Flower Name" will surpass "Youth Journey", right? This novel is slow to take off, but it will explode in popularity later on." Han Yun said in a deep voice.

"At this serial meeting, there were actually three novels. After I finished watching the plot of Chapter 1, I felt that it would be more suitable for the third qualification than "Unheard Flower Name", but those three novels actually have advantages over Unheard Flower. The name is not particularly obvious. The unheard flower name is just not so brilliant overall, but at least there is no obvious poisonous point, and the settings of the three novels are good. In Chapter 1, there are various deficiencies in different degrees. , these four novels are on the same level.”

"Since there is not much difference in the quality of the candidate works, there is no strict principle of fairness and bias. So I can choose to trust you once. Give the third serial number to Unknown Huaming."

Tang Yin's eyes lit up when she heard this.

"But since he made an exception for Yuanqing, he has to pay a price." Han Yun looked at Tang Yin.

In the evening, at Tang Yin's home.

"The price?" Xia Yan asked suspiciously.

"What price?"

"That's it. Han Yun said, "If Yuanqing is so confident in his own work, he thinks this novel is slow to catch on, rather than a boring work made of purely creative mistakes.He even said that this work will surpass Youth Journey in an all-round way. Then we must do what we say! "" Tang Yin looked at Xia Yan with her eyes.

"She hopes that when your novel reaches the end of the series, the readers' votes and ratings of the novel will be in the top four of the Red Maple Journal! You can do this, It proves that you didn't cooperate with me to fool her for the serialization seat. She agreed to overwhelm the opinion of the editorial department and propose "Unheard Flower Name" to be serialized in "Red Maple."

"This kind of thing. Can the editor-in-chief do it?" Xia Yan was stunned when he heard this.

"Of course, otherwise, why would she be able to lead our editorial department? But there is a price for everything she does. It is true that she has the right to make decisions about the serialization of novels, but she must also consider the emotions of everyone in the editorial department and do things fairly. After you make an exception, if the serialization performance of your novel does not improve, her scoring and evaluation indicators will be affected in the eyes of the editorial department and senior management of the publishing house." Tang Yin explained.

"So, what's your answer?"

"Of course I agree, but what I want to ask is, what if I fail to achieve this result?" Xia Yan looked at Tang Yin.

"So your contract for this novel will change." Tang Yin took out a contract from her briefcase.

"The contract stipulates that if "Unheard of Flowers" fails to meet the requirements of editor-in-chief Han Yun as compensation, you have to sign a three-year "long-term contract" contract with our book club."

In addition to considering Xia Yan's potential, whether he will go to other book clubs, and the possibility of being selected as a new god, Han Yun is also interested in Xia Yan himself.

In her opinion, it is profitable to blog about these things with a serial quota of Red Maple Journal.

If Unheard Huaming is really serialized, the results will become popular in the later stage, like a youth journey.

When the time comes, she, Han Yun, will have a discerning eye, and no one will say anything about her.

But if the situation is the opposite, and the results of Unheard Huaming's serialization have been tepid, that's okay.

Han Yun didn't believe that Xia Yan, a potential newcomer light novel writer, really had nothing to do in his three-year long-term contract.Unheard Huaming's grades fluctuated, and the loss is acceptable. As long as Xia Yan's talent is still there, this loss can be slowly made up for in about three years.

"How do you decide?" Tang Yin was a little nervous.

Xia Yan lowered his head and thought for half a minute, then looked up at Tang Yin.

"If I'm afraid of even this little risk, then what can I fight for with you? Accept the editor-in-chief's first suggestion and continue serializing new works in "Instant Youth". And even if the results are not achieved, there is no need to lose money, just Sign a three-year long-term contract. I am bound to Hongfeng Literature for three years, and it is not my life. If it is any other novelist, I am afraid that this condition will wake me up from my dreams." Xia Yan let out a long breath.

"Besides, as long as the unheard flower name ranks in the top four of the "Red Maple" journal in the completed issue, as long as the serialization results are achieved, then this contract is no different from the previous contract."

"I agree with Editor-in-Chief Han Yun's proposal."

Xia Yan is not a procrastinator, so she settled down immediately.

Tang Yin thought that Xia Yan would think for a long time, but in fact, the conversation between them ended in half an hour.

She feels a little unreal today.

After working in the industry for two years, he failed to allow a small writer under his command to serialize his works in the journal "Red Maple".

But at this moment.
After she saw Xia Yan sign the contract with her own eyes.

This also means that today, she has two novel creators under her command, and she has obtained the serialization qualification of the "Red Maple" journal at the same time.

Although the process was a bit rough.
But it was indeed the best result she could think of at this serialization meeting.
