Heterogeneous star

Chapter 17 [Magazine Submission! 】

After lunch, Han Shuo returned to the computer again. He saw the curses in the ghost blowing book review area. Although he said he was not worried or worried, these negative comments still made him lose the motivation to continue typing. power.

"Forget it, let's find a book to have a look for fun." Han Shuo rummaged around in the room, and finally found a book, but it was just a history book, and the contents in it were records of the Ming Dynasty.

The history of this parallel space is not much different from that of the original time and space. There are all the historical figures that should have been there, and there are not a few important historical events that should have happened.

However, Han Shuo felt dizzy when he looked at the full volume of classical Chinese. He originally came to look for a book to relax, but after reading it, his heart became more entangled.

It's not that Han Shuo hates history, but that the relevant historical books are too boring, too blunt, and not grounded at all, and he can't even arouse the slightest interest in his boss's surname.

But when it comes to historical readings that are not down to earth, Han Shuo thinks of the other extreme, "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty".

"Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" is a purely grassroots work. The book abandons the lofty style of traditional history books, and instead tells various interesting historical stories in an easy-to-understand language style, so that ordinary people can appreciate it. It is a great pleasure to read this historical book, which cannot but be said to be a subversion of historical books.

And "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" was originally serialized on the Tianya Forum in the form of an online serial, with a hit rate of 2000 million, making it the most popular post of the year.

Once published, the sales volume has exceeded 1000 million copies, and it has won many honors such as the "New Wolf Book Billboard" Best Book, Dangdang.com "Lifetime Five-Star Best Book", "Excellent Amazon Xun Bestseller Award" and so on , one of the top ten bestsellers in the country.

The book was ranked No.1 in the annual series of best-selling books of the year, and the series of works have been translated into many foreign languages ​​and distributed all over the world.

This shows how popular it is.

However, according to the opinions of those authorities in this parallel space who are separated from the masses, this kind of book is a bad book at all, and it shows no respect for history.Han Shuo could imagine with his toes that these people would criticize the book so much.

However, Han Shuo will not give up publishing this book because of the opposition of this small group of authority figures.

Because there is only one historical book here that can be read by almost everyone, so in order to satisfy the masses, he has to publish this novel no matter what.

Of course, he wants to publish the book in a different way this time, such as submitting to a magazine is a very good way.

According to his understanding, Yilin Magazine is one of the most influential magazines in the Republic, and it is also one of the highest-selling and highest-paying magazines.

"Then contribute to Yilin Magazine." Han Shuo sat in front of the computer, recalling the content of "Things about the Ming Dynasty" he had read in his previous life, typing on the keyboard with both hands:

After coding two chapters, he submitted the article directly to Yilin Magazine via email.

Inside Yilin Magazine.

At this time, the editor-in-chief was in a hurry, and the manuscripts for the emotion column, gender column, and other columns had already been finalized, but the history column had not been seen for a long time.The reason is that the writer who asked for a manuscript for the history column suddenly couldn't be contacted.

But the problem is that the history category is a very cold column, and there are basically no manuscripts submitted to the history category. Now that the author who invited the manuscript has disappeared, there are basically no manuscripts available!

The editor-in-chief was busy, and other people in the magazine were even more busy around the editor-in-chief, and it was a mess.

"Haven't you contacted the author of the contract?"

"I have used all available contact methods, and I can't get in touch with any phone, penguin, or email!"

"If you can't get in touch, you have to get in touch! Let's see what time it is. How many days are there until the magazine is released? Huh? Hurry up!"

"Yes, yes, I will contact you again."

"Editor-in-Chief, why don't you just copy some from the Internet to recharge?"

"Charge NM! Do you know how much negative impact this will bring to our magazine?"

Just when the editor-in-chief was anxious like ants on a hot pan, a voice came from the other side:

"Editor-in-chief, it's saved, it's saved, someone contributed to the history column just now, do you need to take a look at it?"

"Okay, send it here quickly." The editor-in-chief saw an extra email in the mailbox, clicked it immediately, and then opened "Things of the Ming Dynasty", but frowned when he saw the nondescript file at the beginning. How can reading be so vulgar?Just like a child's play, the sense of gravity that history should have been lost at all.

He shook his head, looked at the person who provided the manuscript just now, and asked eagerly: "Is there nothing else? The quality of this manuscript is not up to standard."

But after asking this sentence, he laughed himself. It is a blessing to have one contribution to the history category, and he dares to ask for another one.

Helpless, the editor-in-chief can only let the history column of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" that he is very dissatisfied with, at least it will be better than the ones that are collected from the Internet.

After finishing his work, the editor-in-chief looked at the documents in his hand again, with a gloomy face. To be honest, after what happened just now, he planned to cancel the history column, because judging from the reader's satisfaction with each column , the satisfaction of the emotional and gender columns remained high, but the ranking of the history category was the last, which has not changed.

Low satisfaction means that readers do not like it, and it may even lower sales.

But the history column just can't be withdrawn so rashly. This is related to many aspects such as corresponding to the above call and influence.

However, this time, he will never tolerate the history column reducing sales again. He would rather double the content of the emotion column than cancel the history column!
