Chapter 18 Germination Editor
In early autumn, the cicadas on the trees are making their last struggle and are still chirping.
Zheng Yuling was doing the review work listlessly.
Due to the influence of the New Concept Essay Contest, Sprout Magazine received many more submissions, which instantly increased the workload of front-line editors like Zheng Yuling.
This is nothing, the key is that the quality of the submissions varies.
The quality of some articles made her want to advise her in her reply to never pick up a pen again.
Suddenly Zheng Yuling’s hand touched a thick pile.
"It's a long story. Let me see whose it is, Qilin... Well, isn't this the little actor who won the first prize?"
Zheng Yuling remembered that during the meeting The deputy editor mentioned that if it is Chen Linfeng's manuscript, she must see it.
How about I take a peek first and wash my eyes.
Zheng Yuling opened the manuscript in her hand and read it slowly.
She was a little careless at first, but gradually she became immersed in the story, staring at the manuscript and never moving away.
"Hey, Xiaoling, you're still reading. It's time for lunch."
My colleague patted her shoulder hard and said, "What are you looking at? You are so excited, why are you calling me?" He didn’t even agree.”
Zheng Yuling suddenly came back to her senses, oh, it’s already this time.
She remembered that she had to hand the manuscript to the deputy editor, so she quickly stood up and walked towards the copier.
I didn’t forget to reply to my colleague, “I won’t eat, you can go ahead.”
Zheng Yuling has never seen such a wonderful story, the battle of wits between the protagonists and villains is exciting. It’s so diverse, coming and going, it’s simply dizzying.
It’s okay to just stop when you’re halfway through. I’ll make a copy first, give one to the deputy editor, and keep the other for myself.
While waiting for the copy, Zheng Yuling still couldn't calm down. While she was still copying the previous content, she continued to read the second half of the manuscript.
At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Zheng Yuling knocked on the door of Zhu Guiming's office.
"Editor-in-Chief, I received Chen Linfeng's submission today."
She gave a thumbs up, "No wonder you asked me to pay attention. I have to say that you have such a good sense. This novel is so great. It’s great, I fully recommend it.”
Zheng Yuling didn’t take a break at noon and continued to watch the follow-up plot until she went to work in the afternoon and had to find the deputy editor.
I thought that this way of writing that relies on wits to advance the plot might turn dull later on. Unexpectedly, until she saw it, there was no sign of dulling, and the excitement was not diminished at all.
This is totally a blockbuster booking.
Zheng Yuling has been captured by this novel. When she recommended it to the editor, her tone was full of excitement.
Zhu Guiming was a little surprised. Although she thought it was a good story when she heard Chen Linfeng narrating the plot, she did not expect that it would make her generals so excited.
It’s just that young people still haven’t seen it enough. It’s just a debut novel. As for being so excited, it needs experience.
"Okay, you put it here, I will look at it later."
The editorial finalization meeting on the second day.
Zhu Guiming, with dark circles and red eyes, put his hands on the conference table and said solemnly, "Editor Zhao, I strongly recommend this novel by Chen Linfeng. We need to try our best to get it and speed it up. Use maximum publicity resources."
She kept waving her hands to express her importance, "This will be the most critical measure after our new concept competition. It will prove that our new concept competition will It can cultivate literary talents.”
As the editor-in-chief, Zhao Changtian is well aware of the happenings in the magazine.
I know that an editor received an excellent manuscript yesterday, which caused quite a stir.
But I didn't expect that it would be in the hands of the deputy editor so quickly, and that it would make her work so hard at today's meeting. This is a do-or-die attitude.
"Comrade Guiming, don't worry,"
Zhao Changtian looked at the other editors present, "Has anyone read this novel?"
Except Zheng Yuling and several editors raised their hands to indicate that they had read it.
They all have one thing in common, their eyes are red, and they obviously stayed up late yesterday.
Since they saw Zheng Yuling reading so ecstatically at noon yesterday, they were also curious, so they each made a copy and took it home to read.
I can’t stop watching this.
“What do you think of this novel?”
Zheng Yuling took the lead in saying, “Considering the age of the author, this novel is perfect. Even if the age range is enlarged, it is still an extremely good novel. A rare work of popular literature."
Lao Wang, who has more than ten years of editing experience, said, "It is not an ordinary novel. I have never seen similar themes in domestic novels before. Like something that jumped out of a stone.”
Another editor added, "Not only is the subject matter novel, but the plot design is also extremely clever. It is an addictive novel." Several other editors also expressed their opinions.
Everyone unanimously praised it.
So many people are optimistic about him?
Zhao Changtian pondered for a while and said, "In principle, I will not object to everyone's decision. I agree with the publication of the novel, but the determination of specific promotional resources needs to wait until I read the entire novel before making a decision."< br>
Chalaoshan Scenic Area in Central Plains Province, where the sequel to Journey to the West was filmed.
Chen Linfeng watched several famous actors filming in boredom.
Since arriving at Chalam Mountain, he has started to watch in boredom.
The main thing shot here is the master and the disciples fighting over and over against the Holy Envoy of the Black Lotus around the scriptures in the Tongtian River.
This plot did not exist in the TV series of the previous life. It was only described in Qian Yanqiu's subsequent novels.
The investment brought in by the crew was much greater than in the previous life, and the director in charge has also changed. In fact, the content shot has increased by at least one-third compared to the previous life.
Not only the plot of Tongtian River here, but also the subsequent plot of Wutian occupying the Buddhist world and sending his men to attack the underworld.
These were included in Qian Yanqiu’s original script, but they were not filmed due to lack of funds in the previous life.
In addition, new directors and screenwriters have also added other content.
In view of the fact that Wutian’s men are too weak, Director Yu added Wusheng Old Mother, a villain second only to Wutian’s boss.
The positioning of Heaven has also changed, from the weak chicken state where the gods were easily taken down and imprisoned, to a self-proclaimed 33-year-old stand-by mode.
Only a few gods such as Nezha were involved in the Wutian Rebellion because they were deeply involved in Buddhism.
Chen Linfeng read the new version of the script and was generally satisfied.
There has been a relative increase in literary dramas, the characters’ lines are more elegant, and the plots are more reasonable.
However, the fly in the ointment is that the crew is rich, but not that rich.
It cannot be like some large crews in later generations, which were divided into two groups to shoot separately.
So, Nezha (Chen Linfeng), who did not appear in the Tongtianhe plot, could only watch others perform.
In fact, apart from being a little bored, Chen Linfeng was quite happy with the changes in the crew.
Sometimes a small change can have a huge impact.
Because of the addition of Zhang Lingtong, it attracted the attention of Wuxi Zhongshi Film and Television Company.
The producer of the sequel to Journey to the West came to the scene, bringing with it the people behind the scenes of the sequel.
These art directors, lighting and photography experts have greatly enhanced the quality of the TV series.
Chen Linfeng had a hunch that the final film would give him a big surprise.
"Okay, this one passed," the director announced that the performance was valid.
“The shooting in the morning is over, everyone calls it a day.”
Chen Linfeng followed the crew back to the rented house.
Sun Fengmei, who was waiting at the entrance of the village, saw Chen Linfeng and hurriedly came forward to pull him aside.
"Xiao Feng, the editors from Germination Magazine are here to find you. I asked them to wait in your room while I come out to find you."
"Sister Mei, you asked them to come here. Is it for something? "
Sun Fengmei was the assistant that Chen Shantong found for him to handle some daily affairs for him.
He is capable and steady, and he is still in the probation period.
With an assistant here, Chen Linfeng doesn’t have to be taken by his father when he travels around the country.
As Chen Shantong started his own career, he was busy with his own affairs, so it was only natural that he find assistants for the brothers.
"I asked, there are two people, one is the deputy editor and the other is the editor."
Sister Mei gave a rough description of their appearance, "They said they wrote it for you It’s from a novel, I don’t know the details.”
Hearing this, Chen Linfeng had an idea in his mind, "I probably know what's going on. Sister Mei, you go find my dad. He should be present for this matter."
