The Era of the Second Element of the Literary Girl

After reading it, without any hesitation, Chen Yulan printed out the contents of the manuscript, and then hurried to the editor's office with the manuscript in her arms.

Chen Yulan is in the first editorial team of Light Literature, and the editor-in-chief of the first editorial team, named Gu Kaiwen, is a middle-aged man in his thirties.

After listening to Chen Yulan's narration...

Editor-in-Chief Gu frowned and said, "You said Mr. Mo finished the second volume in six days?"

"Um."

"Are you sure it's okay? Six days and 10,000 words, have you read how the quality is?"

"I feel better."

"Better...?" Editor-in-Chief Gu was stunned for a moment, then asked suspiciously, "Then show me."

Then, Chen Yulan handed over a thick stack of manuscripts, and silently exited the editor's office.

As for editor-in-chief Gu, it took an entire afternoon to seriously read the manuscript of the second volume of "Devil Sword Academy".

As the editor-in-chief of the first editorial team of Light Literature, it is impossible for Editor-in-Chief Gu not to have watched "Magic Sword Academy", which broke the record for the first move.

If he were to make an evaluation, it would be that "Devil Sword Academy" has nothing outstanding from the level of writing to the connotation of the work.

However, the awesomeness of this book lies in its plot!

For those young people who are not interested in serious literature, reading this kind of easy-to-understand novels with rich plots is just like masturbation, and they can't stop! Only after reading it in one breath, will it be vague and boring.

If you want to rate the first volume of "Magic Sword Academy" in terms of literary quality, then Editor-in-Chief Gu may not give it a high score.

However, if you want to talk about commerciality, Editor-in-Chief Gu will definitely give you full marks.

However……

Now, for this manuscript of the second volume of "Devil Sword Academy"...

After all, Mr. Mo Shao wrote this too quickly, and it is inevitable to doubt its quality. Therefore, Editor-in-Chief Gu reviewed it with suspicion.

However, after reading it, Editor-in-Chief Gu just wanted to say...

I go! This is not the Mo Shao teacher I know!

It's a complete transformation, isn't it!

Theoretically speaking, as an editor, when looking at the manuscript of a work, he does not use the reader's perspective, but the editor's perspective.

From this perspective, Editor-in-Chief Gu will not enter the play, and will analyze from other perspectives whether the emotional foreshadowing of the work is good, whether the details are in place, etc...

These are all places that will not be noticed under the "reader's perspective".

For example, when reading the first volume of "Magic Sword Academy", Editor-in-Chief Gu read the book from an editor's perspective throughout the entire process. In this way, although he also found the story very interesting, he would definitely not send out comments like those readers on the forum. "Sophia is my wife!" "Chun Xiajiang is my wife!" "They are all my wives!" Such childish, gentlemanly, and too deep into the drama remarks.

However……

After reading the manuscript of the second volume, Editor-in-Chief Gu was shocked to find that he had unconsciously switched from the editor's perspective to the usual reader's perspective.

He didn't even notice it himself!

This can only show that the standard of this volume is extremely high, even though he originally wanted to read it with an attitude of "scrutiny", but later, he got involved in it unknowingly and couldn't extricate himself.

this moment!

Years of editing experience reminded him that the sales volume of this volume is destined to...explode!

So, he immediately picked up the phone, "Hello? Editor-in-chief? Ah, that's right, I'm the editor-in-chief. I just got the manuscript of the second volume of "Magic Sword Academy"... Yes! It's that fast! And I Look, it feels really good! Hmm, yes, so, I came up with a bold idea..."

...

Soon, after the light literature propaganda department got the plan, not only the people from the propaganda department,

Including some other people in the editorial department who had heard about it, they were all stunned.

"Such a big publicity effort? Damn it!"

"It's the first time we've put so much effort into publicity, and it's just a book."

"Although the results of "Magic Sword Academy" are unprecedented, the resources given this time are also unprecedented. Could it be that Mo Shao, the author, has some kind of PY deal with the editor-in-chief?"

And after Li Xiaoci knew about it...

Her performance was much calmer, "Why are you excited? For a great writer like me, shouldn't this level of publicity work be appropriate? You haven't seen anything in the market."

finished listening.

Chen Yulan really wanted to beat her up.

However, at this moment, the two of them happened to be on the street. In order not to be misunderstood by passers-by as bullying the child, they hatedly let Li Xiaoci die.

soon!

The two of them walked to the edge of Times Square in downtown Kyoto, surrounded by crowds of people.

It can be said that Qingwen has spent a lot of money on publicity this time. Advertisements have been placed on several airships above the urban area of ​​Kyoto, not to mention the big screen at Times Square, and Li Xiaoci and Chen Yulan are Came here specifically to see the "premiere" of the promotional ad. It is estimated that there are tens of thousands of passers-by in Times Square, and they are the only ones who made a special trip to see the advertisement.

Not long after...

A static picture appeared on the big screen in Times Square, with two cute girls with cute styles, and the accompanying text was an introduction to "Magic Sword Academy".

To be honest, the advertising screens on the Empire State Building next to Times Square, since the Third World War, have been the military conscription advertisements the most. Until the end of the war a year ago, the scale of the remaining regional wars shrank. Some entertainment advertisements appeared on the screen one after another.

As for light novels...

As a small circle, there has never been a book in the light novel industry that can appear on this screen. In a sense, this is also the first time that the entire light novel industry has met with the public on such a high-end occasion.

Besides, appearing on this kind of stage, the compelling style of the book "Magic Sword Academy" immediately went up!

Last time, blow a year!

...

"Huh? The one on it... is an advertisement for a novel?"

"It's great, I don't care about literature, the advertisements are here."

""Magic Sword Academy", I seem to have heard of it? It seems to be very popular in the bookstore, and many people buy it."

"Oh my god, it's "Magic Sword Academy"?" On the sidewalk next to the square, a boy who looked like a middle school student said excitedly.

"Have you read the book?" His partner looked surprised.

"Really, let me tell you, this book is amazing! Teacher Mo Shao is simply a genius! You must eat this Amway, or you will regret it, because I will brainwash you every day."

"I'll go, you are poisonous..."

Listening to the whispers of people on the streets of Times Square, Chen Yulan was about to say something when she saw Li Xiaoci's eyes suddenly narrowed into small crescents, and she pricked up her ears with a look of enjoyment. Just feel it, this guy has "boasting" written all over his face. I praise me! Continue to praise me!" Eight words.

So, she could only roll her eyes silently.

Got it!

It's inflated again.

It's hopeless, wait for death, and leave.

...

After the overwhelming publicity became effective, several other publishing houses in the light novel industry were also caught in the shock of light literature.

"So much power? Pills! Could it be that the second volume of the Demon Sword Academy is some cosmic masterpiece, the Creation Bible?"

"This kind of publicity investment... If the sales volume collapses, I'm afraid it won't make it back."

"To be reasonable, the book "Magic Sword Academy" is like Coke. The first sip is exciting, but the more you drink it, the more boring it becomes. Although Tsundere and Three No Girls are cute, they have almost been developed. It’s nothing more than continuing to interact with the two heroines. It’s impossible to have the freshness of the first volume, unless you can match the level of Sophia and Hoshino-senpai all day, and the cute attributes must not overlap. So as not to tire the readers...the difficulty is not so high."

"Have they forgotten that Mo Shao is a cuckold lover with a criminal record? If Mo Shao teacher suddenly gives you an NTR scene in the second volume, wow, that's so sour... I guess Sophia's party and Hoshino-senpai's party Readers, just copy the guy and hit the publishing house, and I will make clear arrangements for you every minute."

"Praise a newcomer writer like this...how bold."

The editors-in-chief of the light novel industry also gave their comments on this matter after dinner.

Although the war ended a year ago and people began to pursue entertainment, the light novel industry seemed to have not developed to such a large scale, it was only a small circle at best. And the move of light literature is equivalent to opening the door of the small circle, starting to promote the light novels for nerds and nerds to the current audience, and trying to include the current audience as their own reader group...

no doubt!

This is a very bold attempt!

As for the result...

From the bottom of my heart, the editors-in-chief of other publishing houses admire light literary feats.

If there is a wheel rolling slowly in the history of light novel development, then light literature is undoubtedly the driver who stepped on the accelerator.

However, if you analyze it from the perspective of competitors...

Sure enough, I still go to the temple to burn incense, and sincerely wish that the second volume of "Devil Sword Academy" will die suddenly and never be reborn forever. It will be more pleasant.
