A City of Infinite Winners in One's Life

"Oh? What's the name of this gentleman?" Yamamoto Kane pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said with a playful look.

"I'm the illustrator of this work, and she's my partner, so I can't watch her get lost." Li Wei looked directly into Yamamoto's eyes, and the oppressive eyes made Yamamoto's back a little unconsciously. .

Li Wei put his trial template on the table, made a gesture of please, and said, "I know what I say is useless, maybe editor Yamamoto will think that I am a bragging, but please take a look at the illustration of this trial version. Well, it will answer all your doubts."

Li Wei is confident in his own painting skills. In terms of painting skills alone, he can beat all the illustrators of Neon. This is an absolute ruthless crushing.

"Oh?" Yamamoto was curious. The white paper on the table seemed to be the size of a typical library book, and the thickness was comparable.She picked up the white paper and started flipping through it. When she opened the first few pages, she saw the catalogue, which was the catalogue of "My Family Has a Spiritual Master", and her interest was piqued.Then she turned the page down, her face became solemn, because she saw the illustration, which was the best illustration she had ever seen, no one.It turned out that the limit of painting is still such a high level. This two-dimensional style has a realistic painting style, which is unique and the most comfortable painting style she has seen so far. Other masters are overshadowed by this illustration. .

Li Wei smiled, but he used color illustrations, and that kind of visual impact is simply not comparable to those of the money-saving products that use black and white illustrations to save costs.And for the understanding of beauty, he is absolutely not lost to anyone, but he draws every illustration with the mentality of painting handed down masterpieces. Leaving aside the novel, just looking at each illustration is an insurmountable artwork.

Taking a deep breath, Yamamoto Qiangne ​​said with a serious face, "Can you lend me this book temporarily, I still have some doubts if it was originally just a novel, but after seeing this illustration, I have a new idea, but I need to discuss it with the editor-in-chief."

"Since you like it, you can give it to you, but I hope you can give us an accurate answer as soon as possible." Li Wei said indifferently.

"Thank you so much, then I'll take this book, it's really a wonderful gift. Now I have to go back to the editorial office, I think this book has some room to operate, but I am alone If you can’t be the master, I will give you the answer within three days, please forgive me for that.” Yamamoto Qiangine stood up and put the white paper into the messenger bag that he carried with him.

From the cafe, Li Wei and Shiyu Kasugaoka strolled the streets of Kyoto.

"Huh... I'm scared to death, I almost thought I was going to be rejected... But I choose the second split mode, is it a bit over my own power? I always feel that editor Yamamoto looks at me strangely." Xiazhiqiu Shiyu smiled bitterly.

"Be confident. Your novel has surpassed at least 80% of similar novels on the market. It is the right choice to choose the second one. If you choose the first one, won't you become a working man of the publishing house?"

"But being able to get the editor's approval is a huge improvement. I can't imagine what it will sell, but being able to publish is the best victory for me." Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu clenched his fist. said.

"Then this is just the beginning of your success. Your achievements don't stop there. Come on." Li Wei patted her on the shoulder and said, she is not the confident and cheerful well-known light novelist in the future, so it is inevitable Some are not confident, Li Wei is to cultivate her self-confidence.

Chapter 073. The editor's admiration

"Life is really full of miracles. Originally, I just wanted to write something to entertain myself. It would be best if someone could read it and make money. Even if it didn't make money, it would be a good thing for readers to communicate with me. It's a pleasant thing. Now I feel like I'm in a dream, it's not real at all." Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu said with a sigh, she couldn't even write the proposition composition smoothly in the middle school, and in a blink of an eye, she became a master A well-known novelist is simply incredible.

"Everyone has their own talents that have not been tapped. Those who can tap their talents are naturally dazzling, and those who can't find what they should do will be left alone for the rest of their lives, although this is cruel. In this book, I will help you perfect all kinds of details, but for the next book, I will only help you to draw illustrations, everything about the novel is up to you, and I will only make some small suggestions at most.” Li Wei said in a serious manner.

Strictly speaking, the novel "There is a God in My Family" is actually a double author, but Li Wei is not named, because what Li Wei wants everyone to see is the talent of Xiazhiqiu Shiyu, and he inserted one in it. If the bar is used, it will be overwhelming.

While Li Wei and Shiyu of Kasumigaoka were leisurely strolling down the street, the editorial office of Kodansha Bunko became lively.

Yamamoto Qiangine hurriedly walked into the large office of the editorial department, and her hurried steps surprised everyone.

"Editor-in-chief! Great discovery!"

The excitement in Yamamoto's voice could not be concealed, and the gray-haired editor-in-chief glared at her. He was also the big leader and was undisciplined. This reason alone was enough to fire Yamamoto.

"What's the situation, what are you doing?" The editor-in-chief is about fifty or sixty years old, and he is also an old writer who has been "retired" from the traditional literary world. He was invited to the Kodansha Library by the board of directors of Kodansha like a great god. As the editor-in-chief, it is precisely because of him, the great god, that the Kodansha library can come from latecomers and compete with several major traditional libraries.Although he has a very high status in the literary world, he is quite easy-going, not as stingy and stingy as the general neon people.However, Yamamoto Qiangone is also a capable person with real talents and hard work, but his temper is a little weird.

Yamamoto's strong tone calmed down and said, "This time I found a super rookie who is very strong. How strong it is, you will have to wait until you read the manuscript before you can decide. For the past six months, our Kodansha library has been rejected by Kadokawa. Wenku was overwhelmed, and this time he was finally able to take revenge."

"Oh? You admire that newcomer so much? It seems that he is really capable. It is not easy to be recognized by you. Give me the manuscript, what do I think when you hold it in your hand?" Editor-in-chief hehe He smiled and took the manuscript.On the other hand, the rash Yamamoto Kane scratched his head embarrassingly.

Yamamoto's loud voice made everyone in the editorial department hear what she said, and other curious editors gathered around, wanting to see the works of the "strongest newcomer", and unconsciously, the editor-in-chief was beside her. There were people in a circle.

As the manuscript is turned back page by page, the editor-in-chief's expression is constantly changing, from the relaxed at the beginning to the dignified. At the beginning, he browsed through ten lines at a time, but then he began to read sentence by sentence. A careful look at the sentence.

"This is definitely not a newcomer. It is definitely something written by an old guy who pretends to be young. With this kind of atmosphere, the writers who can write this kind of momentum in China can be counted on one hand. The newcomer who submitted the manuscript is about the age of How old is it?" the editor-in-chief asked Yamamoto Kaneki.

"She's still a high school student." Yamamoto's answer was very concise.

"High school student? Are you sure, this is really weird. This kind of old and hot writing style doesn't look like a high school student can have it. Now high school students are so good? Many people who have been in the literary world all their lives. No old writer has such a sharp pen, this kind of description is absolutely perfect." The editor-in-chief is full of praise for Xiazhiqiu Shiyu's novels, he is the kind of straight-hearted person, good is good, bad is bad, never Fraud.

Although the editors watching on the side only read them one by one, they were also conquered by Shiyu's writing style.Light novel editing seems to be very interesting, but in fact, this profession is quite painful, because the quality of the manuscripts submitted is mixed, and some of them are excellent, and naturally some are poorly written.Moreover, the number of bad works is beyond the imagination of ordinary readers. The eyes of light novel editors are tormented by various bad works every day. Patience and perseverance.

And Xiazhiqiu Shiyu's novels are completely enjoyable to read. The editors who have been tortured by various bad works all morning feel that their hearts have been healed.In neon language, the difference between "he" and "she" can be heard at once, and all the editors are a little surprised that such a majestic novel is actually the work of a high school girl, which is really incredible .

"By the way, editor-in-chief. I have a trial work here. It was originally like a submitted manuscript. The original painting was designated by us, but the writer's partner is also a master figure. I think the original work should be kept as it is. Illustrations are better. But this is still up to the editor-in-chief to decide." Yamamoto took out the white paper from the messenger bag and put it in front of the editor-in-chief.

"Oh? Bring your own illustrations? This is against the rules. I want to see how amazing this master is." The editor-in-chief smiled, put the manuscript aside, picked up the white paper and started to read.He was shocked, and was as surprised as Yamamoto was at that time, that there are still such paintings in this world.

"Good! Good! Good!"

After saying goodbye three times in a row, the editor-in-chief was so excited that he slapped his big/legs and burst into laughter. "The time has come for the rise of Kodansha Bunko!"

The editor-in-chief's laughter startled everyone. The rise of Kodansha Bunko?How can it be so easy, many people want to complain.

Chapter 074. Gifts for Girls

"This book is very good! It can be used as the main work of our library. We have been overwhelmed by the other two libraries for a long time. I am not reconciled, but the top light novelists do not choose us because of our Due to the shortcomings, this opportunity cannot be passed up so easily!" the editor-in-chief said excitedly.

"Um...Isn't it a bit exaggerated?" Yamamoto Qiangone was a little unsure of himself. This has already taken this book to the sky. If the sales drop, the fun will be great. .

The editor-in-chief stood up, patted Yamamoto on the shoulder, and laughed: "This time you have made a great contribution to the library, the author must sign it, even if the conditions are harsher, don't be afraid, anyway, you can put It's fine if she stays, as long as she is in our library, then our library is equivalent to an extra god, and even if we face other libraries head-on, we won't be at a disadvantage."

"But the editor-in-chief, this book has its own illustrations, how to deal with this problem?" Yamamoto asked, the self-made illustrations violated the rules of the industry. This question must be asked clearly, otherwise there will be later Many disputes.

"Make an exception for her! We also have to find a way to stay with this illustrator. No one can imitate this style of painting. Such illustrations simply give new life to the work. Originally, this book just read the text. I was shocked, and the illustrations brought me into the wonderful world of the novel, such a combination is a perfect match!"

The editor-in-chief slapped the table and said loudly: "This book must be recommended more vigorously, and all our publicity channels must be activated. This is the moment when we turn over the library of Kodansha, and everyone must go all out. Even me! This template is very good. The impact of color illustrations cannot be replaced by black and white pages. This time the printing and typesetting are based on this template. Don't just focus on saving costs, you must do it beautifully !"

In the office, all the people were inspired by the editor-in-chief. Most of the people who do this business are chosen out of hobby. If you can see a masterpiece born from your own hands, no editor can. Reject this temptation/temptation.

------------------------------------

Li Wei and Xiazhiqiu Shiyu wandered aimlessly on the street, but girls don't need a purpose at all when they go shopping, and shopping is a pleasure in itself for girls.However, Shiyu of Xiazhiqiu mostly went to clothing stores. Even if she had no money, she was very satisfied just by visiting.

The sun was about to set, and Shiyu of Kasumigaoka's playfulness only diminished.

"Thank you, running around with me, I don't know how to thank you..." Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu looked at the side face of the boy next to him. The resolute lines were different from the wretchedness of ordinary neon men. With coldness, there is a feeling of a model.

"Why do you think of saying this? As a tenant, I should share some pressure for the landlord. Otherwise, wouldn't I become a little white face who eats rice." Li Wei felt a little strange, how could Shiyu of Xia Zhiqiu think of it? Say this.
