Reborn great writer

Wearing a white apron and simply tying her hair behind her head with a headband, she doesn't have the strength in the publishing house at all, only the virtuousness of a good wife and mother. I didn't expect that Aunt Wang had the potential to become a good wife and mother.

"Xiaochen, the meal will be ready soon." Not to mention that the food made by Aunt Wang is much more delicious than that made by Sister Zhao, and one meal can be enjoyed happily.

"Auntie, the deputy editor-in-chief of Yangcheng Daily, Zhao Dandan, is the mother of a classmate of mine. I went to her house yesterday. She said that Yangcheng Daily was going to open up a novel section, so she asked me to write a manuscript. It just so happened that I also wrote a new book recently. , I just want to try it, what do you think, Auntie?"

"Which novel is suitable for publication?" Wang Ni.

"I also brought the manuscript, here you can take a look." Su Shichen handed the manuscript of "thered-headed league" to Wang Ni.

The article "thered-headedleague" is translated into "red-headed league" in China.

One of the 56 short stories in The Detective Sherlock Holmes Collection.

"A speculative novel?"

The full text of "Red Hair Club" is not long and only has more than 1000 words, so I finished it quickly according to the speed of reviewing manuscripts by Wang Ni.

"In recent years, due to the release of some detective movies and TV series, mystery novels have become popular. Many authors have picked up a pen to create their own mystery novels. The category of novels is also known as the graveyard of newcomer writers, at least one hundred mystery novels submitted to our publishing house may not necessarily publish one.”

"Among them, reasoning short stories are even more so. Due to the length of the story, they must be described in extremely concise words, and the most important thing is to lay the groundwork, so it is very difficult to write a short reasoning story, but Xiao Chen Your reasoning novel is very well written. You use the tone of No.1 Watson to describe the case. This way of writing is very novel, and the reasoning of Sherlock Holmes, who is the protagonist of the case, is also very reasonable. Generally speaking, this is A very good mystery novel." Wang Ni's review is very professional.

"Xiaochen, you are planning to write a series, right? The series about Sherlock Holmes solving crimes." As expected, he is the editor-in-chief, and he hits the nail on the head.

"Yes, as my aunt said, I plan to write a Sherlock Holmes collection. I have already written two short stories and a novella. By the way, can this short story be published on Yangcheng Daily?" Wang Ni pondered for a moment, "It's enough. Although the protagonist and the background of the story are both British, it will lack some sense of substitution, but the excellent quality of the work can completely make up for this loophole."

Hearing Wang Ni's words, Su Shichen breathed a sigh of relief. Although he also thought so in his heart, hearing Wang Ni as the editor-in-chief of a professional publishing house is no different than being more professional.

"Xiaochen, if your subsequent articles can maintain this level, this collection of mystery novels will definitely become a bestseller, and the results will definitely be higher than "Wukong Biography", and it may even become your masterpiece." Wang Ni .

"Well, I'll send the manuscript to the newspaper tomorrow."

"Xiaochen, are you going to discuss this matter with the deputy editor-in-chief of Yangcheng Daily tomorrow?"

"Yes" Wang Ni pinched her chin with her fingers, lost in thought and didn't know what she was thinking, and he didn't dare to disturb him, so he could only stay quietly aside.

"Xiaochen, tomorrow my aunt will go with you to discuss the drafting matter"

"Huh? Oh"

Mystery novels are different from other novels. Each case is read separately, and it does not mean that the book cannot be published if it is published on the newspaper. In addition, the sales volume of Yangcheng Daily in Yangcheng is not low. , it will have a very good reputation accumulation for this new book. After reaching a certain level, it is the best to collect and publish short stories published in newspapers and periodicals. It was sold to a newspaper office, so I asked to go together.

On Saturday, he stayed at home and coded crazily. He actually coded [-] characters in one day. Of course, this is nothing compared to those great masters, but for Su Shichen, this has to be considered a remarkable miracle.

The next day, Sunday, was the day when Zhao Dandan had an appointment to read the manuscript, so Su Shichen got into Wang Ni's car and went to Tang Lingyu's house together.

"Chenchen is finally here, Sister Zhao has been waiting for a long time." Zhao Dandan turned to Wang Ni, "Who is this?"

"Wang Ni, deputy editor-in-chief of Deyun Publishing House, is in charge of negotiating Xiaochen's new book." After a pause, he continued, "Xiaochen's new book this time is a mystery novel, and he has already created several short stories and several novellas. The word count is already more than 20 words, which is more than the total word count of "Wukong Biography", so in order to show the importance our publishing house attaches to Xiao Chen, I am the agent for the negotiation of the new book this time."

Su Shichen beside him couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat. As expected of being the chief editor of the publishing house, he really didn't blink when he talked about nonsense. He also returned a few short stories and a few novellas, with more than 20 words.

"Since Ms. Wang Ni, you are the editor-in-chief of Deyun Publishing House, you naturally know that mystery novels are called the grave of new writers. Although Chenchen's first book "The Legend of Wukong" performed well, the difference between "The Story of Wukong" and mystery novels They have absolutely nothing in common.”

It is not a simple person who can become the editor-in-chief. What Wang Ni said just now actually expresses a meaning. Su Shichen is a writer who is very valued by the publishing house. Don't try to poach people, let alone set a price casually. This will allow his new works to be serialized in newspapers.

The meaning behind Zhao Dandan's words is also obvious. Mystery novels are a very difficult subject matter. Although Su Shichen's first novel "The Legend of Wukong" sold well, he is still a newcomer after all, and "The Story of Wukong" is different from mystery novels. Thousands of miles away, it may not necessarily sell well.

"What is the quality of Xiaochen's novel? You can read it yourself, editor Zhao. This is one of the short stories."

The review of "Red Hair Club" was completed in a few minutes. It is undeniable that the quality of this novel is indeed very good. When he heard that Su Shichen's new book was a mystery novel, Zhao Dandan felt a little conflicted in his heart, thinking that Su Shichen was because of There is some pride in success.

But now it seems that this mature narrative method and meticulous logic all show that the mystery novels written by Su Shichen are excellent, even better than the first-class writer Fang Mi who was hired by "Zao Tan Bao" with a lot of money. The mystery novel that is being serialized is even more exciting. I have to say that Su Shichen is indeed a truly talented young writer.

The general content of "The Redheads": [In the autumn of 1890, Dr. Watson visited Holmes, and learned of the strange events encountered by the red-haired pawnbroker Jabez Wilson.

Two months ago Vincent Spaulding, a clerk at Jabez's pawnshop, had told him about the Redheads, which, according to Vincent, had been established in the will of a redheaded millionaire in the United States. , using the interest of the inheritance to give the redhead a comfortable errand.

So as long as you are selected, you can do very little work and get a weekly salary of £4.However, two months later, he suddenly learned that Red Hair would go out of business, so he asked Holmes for help.

Holmes immediately suspected that this half-paid fellow had a conspiracy.After reasoning and verification, with the head of the bank near the pawnshop and Scotland Yard police officer Jones, waiting late at night in the underground vault of the bank, when Vincent (actually the repeat criminal John Clay) appeared in the tunnel from the pawnshop to the bank At that time, he and his red-haired accomplice, the head of the Red-haired Society, were caught.

Holmes reasoned that the purpose of the Redheads was to get the boss out of the store for a few hours so that they could dig a tunnel leading to the bank's basement. The investigation with Watson in the morning supported this reasoning, and the criminal was caught. 】

The story is novel, and it breaks away from the pattern that mystery novels are just murder cases, and the ending is ingenious.

"Ms. Zhao Dandan, since you are the deputy editor-in-chief of Yangcheng Daily, you naturally have a good vision. I believe Xiaochen has a certain understanding of the insights and level of mystery novels." Wang Ni.

"Hey, Chenchen didn't expect you to be so good at writing mystery novels, why didn't you tell Sister Zhao." Zhao Dandan.

Next, Wang Ni, deputy editor-in-chief of Yangcheng Daily, and Wang Ni, editor-in-chief of Deyun Publishing House, had a heated discussion, and the main content of the discussion was that his new work "The Collection of Sherlock Holmes" was serialized on Yangcheng Daily The price.

Su Shichen felt a little lucky in his heart, fortunately he brought Wang Ni here, otherwise he would definitely be eaten to death by Zhao Dandan.

Needless to say, Wang Ni, the editor-in-chief of Bingshan is very strong both in work and in life, but Zhao Dandan is not at all inferior. Don't think that Zhao Dandan is really a very cute and cute loli young woman, who can be in The deputy editor-in-chief of a first-class newspaper like Yangcheng Daily is definitely not a simple person.

When eating before, she was still a loli young woman who was cuter than loli, but now she is completely a strong woman. Sure enough, women are fickle.

After discussing for an unknown amount of time, Zhao Dandan and Wang Ni stood up and shook hands, which meant the deal was concluded.

"Chenchen, would you like to have a light meal at Sister Zhao's house to celebrate our happy cooperation?" Zhao Dandan took Su Shichen's hand very kindly.

Just thinking about the meal made him shiver, but just as he was about to refuse, Wang Ni spoke first.

She said, "Thank you Editor-in-Chief Zhao for your kindness, but today is my birthday, and Xiaochen agreed to go to my house to celebrate my birthday, so I'm sorry."

Aunt Wang's birthday?Today is Aunt Wang's birthday?And when did you say yes?

Su Shichen looked at Wang Ni suspiciously, but was ignored by Wang Ni.

"Today turns out to be Editor-in-Chief Wang's birthday, happy birthday."

"Chenchen, next time I'll come to Sister Zhao's house and Sister Zhao will make you French and western food." Zhao Dandan winked at Su Shichen while saying that.

have to!After the negotiation, she turned back into a loli young woman again.

"Today is my aunt's birthday, why didn't you tell me earlier that I haven't prepared a gift yet."

"No, Auntie forgot that today is not Auntie's birthday."

misremembered?What's happening here?

Aunt Wang did this because she didn't want him to be a guest at Tang Lingyu's house, but why not?Could it be that Aunt Wang has a grudge against Sister Zhao?According to the scene where the two met, today should be the first meeting. Could it be that Sister Zhao told me that Chenchen was very affectionate and Aunt Wang was jealous?

Su Shichen was also taken aback by his whimsical idea.

How is it possible, although he has intentions, but this body is only 14 years old. Aunt Wang also said that she is the same age as her daughter, so how could he be jealous of him.

"Little Morning"

"Well, what's the matter, auntie?"

"Editor Zhao is very shrewd. It's best not to contact him except for business. If you have business, let me know and she will go with you." It's best not to contact him except for business?Could it be that Aunt Wang is really jealous?

At two o'clock in the afternoon, he arrived at the Bada Shanren training institution on time. It was his first painting training, but painting was quite difficult. The first class lasted more than three hours, and he only learned how to use a brush and a little knowledge of sketching. There is still a long way to go before I can draw manga by myself, but this is already a good start.

The next day, which is Monday.

The flag-raising ceremony on Monday, the experimental junior high school has an interesting habit. Generally speaking, the opening ceremony of the school is held on the first day of the school, but this is not the case for the experimental junior high school. The opening ceremony of each semester is held on the first day of the semester. It is held together with the flag-raising ceremony on Monday. It is said that the purpose of this is to allow students to study for a few days to recover, and then hold the opening ceremony for a better effect.

The Experimental Junior High School is also one of the best junior high schools in Yangcheng, so officials from the Education Bureau are invited for every opening ceremony, but this time it is Feng Xilan, the deputy director of the Education Bureau.

"Teachers and students, as the principal of the Experimental Junior High School, I am very happy to stand on this stage to give a speech to you again. In the past year, the enrollment rate of our Experimental Junior High School ranked among the top three in Yangcheng. This result Very good, there are so many excellent junior high schools in Yangcheng, but we can be ranked in the top three..."
