Chapter 44 Editor-in-chief Aoki's troubles

After Cheng Xin finished writing this preface, his thoughts were racing, and he thought about it for a long time.

If I didn't systematically and unexpectedly change my life trajectory, then I should still be an ordinary high school Chinese teacher now.

Nor will we come to this roughly equivalent, but actually different world.

Who can say what the future of life will look like?
In any case, if you keep going, you will always find the answer.

Although this answer may not be what you want.

This is also the charm of Poisonous Chicken Soup, which directly reveals the truth of life to readers and tells the truth in an ironic tone.

This is much more awakening than ordinary chicken soup.

Lu Fei is worthy of being a very talented writer in NY City, who has comprehended the ideological connotation and structure of poisonous chicken soup.

Cheng Xin finished sorting out the preface on the computer and sent it to Lu Fei through Weixin.

Lu Fei soon received Cheng Xin's preface to his book.

It's just that this prologue has no name.

Lu Fei's original intention was to repay Cheng Xin's kindness and specially asked Cheng Xin to do the preface.

Now I see Cheng Xin explaining the ideological connotation of poisonous chicken soup, and Cheng Xin's words of publicity at the end of the preface.

Lu Fei had an idea, and named the preface of his book "Your Life Can Be Saved Again" "Into Dreams, Into Soul, Into Heart", reflecting that the dishes of Magic Kitchen can make people forget their sorrows and have a unique taste.

There are three major publishing houses in Tianfu Province, Jiulong, Mochizuki, and Konoha.The three publishing houses are all first-class publishing houses in the industry.

Lu Fei directly submitted the first two chapters of his work for the editor-in-chief of the three publishing houses to read, and cooperated with the publishing house that quoted the highest price for this book.

“This year, I am the most popular writer in the province.”

Lu Fei is very confident in his new work, and his expected sales volume is 10 copies.

As long as "Your Life Can Be Saved Again" sells 10 copies within this year, he, Lu Fei, will definitely win the honor of being the most popular writer in the province.

It is now the end of September, and there are still about three months until the January selection event.

The sales volume of Lu Feishu in the previous 9 months was not particularly good, but it only achieved the number one sales in this city.

Looking at the whole province, in the field of youth inspirational literature bestsellers, his book sales can only be ranked in the top three.

In previous years, the annual sales volume of the province's most popular author's books was about 20.

Generally, the sales of books by writers in the province reach 20, and basically the title of the most popular writer in the province will not escape.

Lu Fei's score last year was 18W, losing to last year's most popular writer in the province, Li Long.

Li Long's book sales are only about 1W more than his.

Now, Lu Fei hopes that his poisonous chicken soup "Your Life Can Be Salvaged Again" will make him famous and rich, and gain a higher status in the Writers Association.

……

Editor Sakura is reviewing manuscripts boredly.

She is an old editor at Mochizuki Publishing House, responsible for reviewing manuscripts and discovering high-quality submitted literary works that can be published.

This job is boring and disgusting.

The reason is simple, because most people don't write very well at all.

Most of the contributors can't even grasp the basic sentences and punctuation marks, let alone write a complete story.

[-]% of the submissions are not worth reading, no different from spam.

Sakura glanced three times, and within ten seconds, she directly chose to pass.

Sakura looked at the rest of the manuscripts again, and they were all the same youthful miscellaneous notes.

She no longer knows how many versions she has read.

The content of these youth literature is nothing more than feeling the beauty of youth, the delicate feelings of boys and girls, and expressing the spirit of not waiting for others and studying hard.

For these manuscripts to be published, the writer's writing style and article structure must be excellent, because the market is already saturated with such books.Without enough attractive and beautiful writing style, and delicate and delicate emotional expression, it still can't pass the draft request of editor Sakura.

Sakura read at least 500 emails this week, but no more than 3 literary works met the requirements.

As editors, they have assessment requirements. One of the conditions is to find 5 youth inspirational literary works that are suitable for publication every month.

Sakura is still short of 2 copies to complete the basic work tasks.

But the level of these manuscripts was too low, Sakura was very distressed.

"Dads, authors, I hope you will give me some strength and let me see an excellent work!"

Sakura prayed secretly, and continued to look at the next submission document.

The name of this email immediately attracted Sakura's attention, because the name of this email was "Your life can be saved again".

Editing Sakura felt a little interesting.

She opened it with great interest and was quickly attracted by the story.

It has to be said that Lu Fei's writing skills are still very solid, and his writing style is also very good, bringing Sakura into the story at once.

When she saw that the male protagonist tried his best but failed to pass the entrance examination to the 985 University of God City, Sakura felt bursts of sadness.

At the end of Chapter 2, Lu Fei's summary directly made her cry.

"All roads lead to Rome, but someone was born in Rome."

Further down, the editor Sakura wanted to continue watching, but it was gone.

A strange feeling touched Sakura's body and mind.

This work is a bit interesting, not only is the writing style good, but also has a bit of realistic criticism.

Overdue!

Looking at the writer's pen name again, "Shuixian", it turned out to be Lu Fei, a well-known writer in this city.

Sakura said with emotion that the master is worthy of being a master, and she wrote new content again, which made her, an editor, read it with gusto, immersed in the storyline and couldn't extricate herself.

"Master Aoki, Mr. Lu Fei's new book is out. I just received a submission here. I read it once, and I have a very good reading experience, and I also feel a malice in social existence. If you think it is suitable, please contact Mr. Lu Fei immediately Sign the contract."

Editor Sakura came to the office of editor-in-chief Aoki to report her new discoveries.

"Oh? Lu Fei, send me the manuscript!"

Aoki has become interested, and he has been under a lot of pressure recently. The sales of the last batch of youth literature books published by Mochizuki Publishing House are extremely poor. The publishing house is losing money, and the cash flow is not running smoothly.

Because the printed youth literature books of 10 youth literature writers totaling 50 books are all unsalable.

As the editor-in-chief, Aoki was scolded bloody by the boss, because he was the general person in charge of whether to sign a contract with the author in the end.

If the book cannot be sold, he has to bear a large part of the responsibility for the publishing house.

Because of this incident, he was deducted two months' salary.

Therefore, Aoki has now raised the standard for writers to submit manuscripts and sign contracts, and strives to sell well the books published by Mochizuki Publishing House this time.

Aoki's next review was very cautious. He read all the manuscripts sent to him by several editors under him this month, and none of them met his requirements.

Now, Lu Fei's new manuscript has aroused his interest.

Aoki is looking forward to it, hoping that Lu Fei can give him a new surprise.
