Chapter 20 Well done
Pan Liang, the superior editor of Liu Shutang, is already an old comrade in his fifties.
Pan Liang is an editor with a very experienced and well-known editor in the popular novel circle, but his ability is mediocre. He was once responsible for the author, and the highest monthly best-selling list is only 23rd.
The best-selling list is the monthly best-selling list, the annual best-selling list, and the total best-selling list are considered the most valuable list in the popular novel circle.
The most unpredictable one is undoubtedly the monthly best-selling list, because the popular novels of newly launched famous artists often have a strong sales volume of their new books, after all, they have the support of old readers.
However, if the quality of the work is not good and the reputation decreases, the sales of the next month will naturally decline, and then it will be replaced by works with better sales.
Compared with the monthly best-selling list, the annual best-selling list undoubtedly shows the author's overall strength and the continued popularity of this work.
The highest annual award in the popular novel circle, the Qiu Tian Award, is nominated at least the top ten best-selling list of the year.
Of course, it is not necessarily the first in the best-selling list of the year that will win the "Qiu Tian Award", because the "Qiu Tian Award" is a finished work. Otherwise, what if the "Qiu Tian Award" is awarded to the work and the work is eunuch in the end?
There is really a willful writer in the popular novel circle who is clearly on the top ten of the year's best-selling list, but is still eunuchs.
Of course, they will not blatantly say that their works are eunuchs, they will only say that they will be temporarily closed and need to use more materials to find inspiration.
After saying this, they may turn around and write a new vest. As long as they write well, they are not afraid of readers not buying it, but they are afraid of being recognized by some old readers who are familiar with their writing style...
This kind of author who can clearly write good-looking bestsellers but repeatedly eunuchs have a reader mentality is often nicknamed "old thief".
Pan Liang is one of the four editors in charge of "Qidian.com". He also has five editors under his command. In other words, there are 24 editors in the entire "Qidian.com", including the editor-in-chief.com.
In addition, "Qidian.com" also has an editor-in-chief and a deputy editor-in-chief. They are generally not responsible for reading manuscripts. This is the work of the editor-in-chief and the editors of the Internet.
At this time, Pan Liang saw the "Who and Contend" recommended by his subordinate editor Liu Shutang.
At first glance, Pan Liang thought it was a traditional fantasy work. He couldn't help but feel certain that among the three best-selling categories, his favorite is fantasy.
As a result, after reading the introduction, Pan Liang frowned, e-sports novels, what the hell, a completely innovative category?
Pan Liang naturally felt disgusted. Popular novels have been developing for so long, so how could it be so easy to completely innovate?
He subconsciously labeled the author of "Who Contends" as "outrageous".
I have to say that old editors like Pan Liang are indeed prone to prejudice against subjects they are not familiar with. In addition, his ability has always had a mediocre vision...
So when he watched "Who and Confrontation", he was far less amazed than Liu Shutang, but he felt a little confused.
Pan Liang didn’t think this work was so good at all. The protagonist was too low to play games to show off, right? What kind of e-sports is just a teenager who is addicted to the Internet to play games?
After looking at Pan Liang, the only thing that thinks this work can attract his attention is the writing style. He thinks that writing this inexplicable subject is a waste of writing such a writing style.
So Pan Liang called Liu Shutang over and said to him: "I don't think there is any need to recommend this "Who Contends" to the magazine department. They will definitely not look down on it and waste their places in vain. The performance of our group is worse than that of the other three groups, so we have to choose more carefully and not take risks."
Liu Shutang was shocked. He didn't even look down on this old guy Pan Liang, who is such a good work?
In addition, he also knew that his performance in this group was poor, wasn’t it because he had a poor vision?
He always likes to recommend traditional upgraded fantasy articles to the magazine department. Only when the magazine department can be admired will it be a ghost!
"Editor Pan, I think this work is really good, and it is the pioneering work of e-sports novels. It may lead a trend!" Liu Shutang insisted that he had never been so confident in a work.
When the old comrade Pan Liang was confronted by Liu Shutang's young website, he felt a little unhappy and felt that he was underestimated.
"What kind of pioneering work is leading the trend. It has not even earned a penny of royalties now!" Pan Liang said disdainfully.
After saying this, Pan Liang said earnestly: "Actually, this author has solid basic skills and good writing skills. If he is really a newcomer, he will be a good seedling.
But writing this subject is a waste. You contact the author and ask him to write a traditional fantasy article. As long as the quality of the text is guaranteed, he can get a royalty of 80 thousand words, and his works can be published in magazines. Maybe he can even publish a single copy in the future."
Pan Liang thought his advice was quite reliable. Generally, the manuscript fee for the works of pure newcomers in the popular novel circle was only 50,000 words, but because he was interested in the other party's writing style, he gave 80,000 words, which was already very sincere.
Liu Shutang felt that this old guy was simply an idiot, and he could never watch good works like "Who Contends" buried.
Liu Shutang chose to stick to his own judgment. In addition to the work that made him full of confidence, he also didn't care about the job of editing the Internet.
He showed up. In fact, he really relies on supporting his income, which is the rent for ten houses rented out by his family, but who made him love novels so much?
Liu Shutang turned his head and recommended the work "Who Contends with the Winning" to another editor-in-chief, Ye Jingyi.
Ye Jingyi is the only female editor among the four editors. She is also the youngest. She is just 30 years old. The rumors say that she has a deep background and is a relative of the senior executive of Jinhuang Entertainment Group, which controls Qidian Publishing House.
Jinhuang Entertainment is one of the four major Chinese nations, but Qidian Publishing House is just one of its own holdings, specializing in popular novels.
Liu Shutang's behavior of recommending novels he has promising to the editors of other groups can be said to be a taboo in the workplace. After all, the four groups are competitive.
But he still did it. He thought that if such a good novel cannot be seen by readers, it would be better if it was not properly edited by the internet!
Ye Jingyi looked at Liu Shutang's behavior on the surface. She actually disagreed with this approach. If anyone does this like him, wouldn't the company be in chaos?
