Just as Gu Xianchen was immersed in his narcissism," East Wind Break ", as the first shot to hit the Chinese style, began to become popular all over the world and swept countless fans.
In a certain building in Yanjing, in the reality editorial department.
The fantasy editors had no time to listen to the songs at the moment. They were all buried in reviewing this year's supernova novel submission.
Perhaps it was because novelists were becoming more and more popular among the public, but the number of manuscripts received this year was higher than in previous years.
Therefore, even though the submission had just begun, the editors had already piled up a lot of manuscripts and could only review them continuously.
In order to finish the review before the deadline, every editor's desk was filled with all kinds of refreshing drinks and coffee.
Hu Ming was one of the review editors who had a brilliant writing style.
Hu Ming had read countless novels over the past few days and was already feeling dizzy.
He was almost resistant to coffee and a certain cow.
In order to stay focused, he had to go to the bathroom to smoke a cigarette.
There were a few other editors who were in a similar situation as Hu Ming. Therefore, in the bathroom, a few editors who were smoking together discussed the content of the review over the past few days.
"Have you found the recommendation?"
"I haven't, but I have a few that are not bad. I'll go through all the manuscripts in my hand first and observe them carefully.”
"The Supernova every year is a bet.”
After the editors finished reviewing the manuscripts in their hands, they would have a few recommendation slots. Once the work recommended by an editor was finally adopted by the chief editor, it would be counted in the future.
Therefore, the editors were still very cautious about their recommendations.
At this moment.
" This year's submission is mainly about fantasy," one of the editors said." There are too many people writing about it, so it's not easy to find the best one.”
This sentence resonated with everyone.
There were too many people who wrote fantasy novels, so when most people wrote about the same subject, it was not easy to choose the best one.
"After all, it's the theme of the king's way in the market these two years.”
"It's a pity that most people are following the trend of the market, and not many can write their own style.”
"However, this theme is easy to explode.”
"Yes, it's normal for many people to write about explosive topics. Take me for example. After watching so many fantasy stories from other worlds, I'm still very happy with these kinds of stories.”
“……”
Hu Ming did not participate in the discussion.
After smoking, he went back to his seat to work.
In the editorial department, most of the editors were optimistic about the popular fantasy genre in the other world, and their standards for choosing books were basically aligned with this genre. However, Hu Ming had a different opinion.
Of course, he also liked fantasy stories.
However, because there were too many novels about fantasy in the other world, the theme was too similar. Therefore, Hu Ming's review was almost vomited by the stories of this theme.
Now, he really wanted to find a different work.
Unfortunately, this wasn't an easy task. Some of the topics were popular because readers loved them.
This was the market's choice!
Even an editor would have to promote these popular topics for the sake of their own performance and the sales of the publishing house.
Moreover, the newcomers who submitted the article weren't stupid.
It was a very simple principle to write about a topic that was easy to pass. After all, there were only a few people who could stick to their own style and not follow the market trend.
Therefore, even after reviewing countless stories for the past few days, Hu Ming still couldn't find a story that he was satisfied with.
It wasn't that no one wrote about novel topics. There were always some relatively novel topics among the vast number of manuscripts.
However, the problem was that while these topics were novel, they lacked the storytelling and interest that novels should have.
That Hu Ming would rather not have it.
He would not deliberately pursue new topics and lower his review standards, nor would he deliberately exclude some popular topics from the scope of selection.
Ultimately, the most important thing was the story's brilliance.
It took fifteen minutes.
He finished reading another manuscript.
Hu Ming rubbed his tired temples, then gritted his teeth and applied some essential balm on himself.
This was one of the killer moves that the social animals used to deal with fatigue.
In fact, there was still an ultimate killing move later, which was also related to essential balm. However, most people did not dare to try it because those who tried it would die from social causes.
In short, Hu Ming felt much more energetic after rubbing the essential balm on his head.
Taking advantage of this excitement.
Hu Ming opened a new manuscript.
However, the title of the novel made Hu Ming raise his eyebrows slightly. Sherlock Holmes.
"Detective novel? Why is a short story being submitted to our long series?”
Hu Ming was a little surprised. As an outstanding editor, although detective novels had just begun to take shape in the past few years and were considered unpopular, he had also dabbled in them.
He had read almost all of them. After all, there were only a few detective novels in total, and they were all short stories. With his reading speed, he could finish all of them in less than a day.
