Chapter 5 The Potential of Phenomenal Works
Rongrong unknowingly read it. It was the first time she saw this writing style and background setting:
“Modern city, in an old-fashioned apartment.
Alas! Zhou Qing held a long sword with a sad face, two fingers wide, and was crystal yellow all over, with a little black spot on it.
"I finally reached the realm of "Introduction of Qi into the Body" the previous month. It's not easy. I can drive the flying sword, but this flying sword is too difficult to make! The best red copper is about 500 kilograms, red hair steel is 300 kilograms, gold, silver, and jade chips were used for hundreds of thousands of yuan, and I made one, and the quality was too impure."
Zhou Qing is a practitioner and learned from the "Weapon Training School". As the name suggests, this "Weapon Training School" mainly focuses on practicing and making magical instruments.
In the Taoist world, it is a very small sect, so small that other Taoist sects do not know that there is such a sect.
Zhou Qing was also lucky. He just entered university and was very passionate about his youth. He devoted himself to doing good deeds and learning from Lei Feng. After saving a beggar on the roadside with a bottle of mineral water, he became the descendant of the "Weapon Training Sect". He was accepted as his apprentice by the beggar who claimed to be the Taoist Ling Yun. He knew that after learning Taoism from Ling Yun for a month, Ling Yun threw down a book called "The General Outline of Weapon Training" and stretched his legs and hung up..."
As an editor, Rongrong was originally a novel lover. The practitioners, various magic weapons, and a brand new cultivation system that appeared in this book "Buddha is the Tao" shocked her very much.
"Buddha is the Tao" is the representative work of Meng Ji, one of the supreme online literature on the earth. It created the prehistoric flow and was also a reflection of the infinite flow created by "Infinite Terror", the mortal flow opened in "The Legend of Mortals Cultivation", and the cultivation flow created in "The Journey of Piaomiao".
One of the most influential schools in fantasy novels, which combine "The Romance of the Gods", "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", "Journey to the West", "The Legend of Shushan", and even Western blood clan legends, which are amazing.
The more Rong Rong looked at it, the more attracted by this huge and self-contained setting.
Before he knew it, half a day passed, and soon Rongrong read the chapter of Kongtong Taoist Sect and directly led to Guangchengzi, the head of the twelve true immortals of the Anarchy Sect.
In the midst of the excitement, the first volume came to an abrupt end... No, no?
Rongrong's mind was filled with various formations, magic weapons, Maoshan Sect, Kongtong Sect, Chan Sect, and Jie Sect.
"Oh, why is it gone?"
Rongrong really wants to send a blade to this Huanyan!
Just as he had this idea, Rongrong suddenly came to her senses. She was not reviewing the manuscript, so why did she feel resentment?
Then, my whole body became excited and my whole face was flushed.
"Isn't this the opportunity you are waiting for! Calm down, calm down, Rongrong, you must calm down."
Rongrong looked at "Buddha is the Tao" again, and the author also listed the outline and various settings at the end of the article.
"The Lich War, the Battle of the Gods, the Battle of Buddhism and Taoism, Hongjun, Pangu Three Pure Land, and the Two Western Buddhas..."
The more you look at the author's settings and the heroic style of creating the genre, Rongrong is in a state of mind, especially the twelve ancestor witches introduced in it, Rongrong is unbearable to be itchy.
Rongrong has confirmed that this time, the recommendation hope of supernova fantasy novels is all pressing on this book.
However, Rongrong soon had a solemn face. This novel is indeed full of atmosphere, but there is a fatal problem, which is that it is very set-up, and the protagonist is a bit rebellious and a bit alternative, and the things she does are even more exaggerated.
Compared with mainstream fantasy novels, it is very novel and niche, and niche means that the market is unclear.
However, Rongrong really likes the author's amazing imagination and indulgent imagination. This great Huanyan is really a genius!
"It's important to put this novel on the final list."
Rongrong thought about it and decided to give up other novel screenings, so she recommended this one:
"Team leader, when I was reviewing the manuscript, I found a very good book. I hope you can read it carefully. I personally think this book can become a big dark horse in this competition."
Dasuo, the leader of the editor-in-chief, soon received a recommendation from Rongrong. When he first saw Rongrong's message, he didn't care much. After all, this young newbie has never seen the world and his grasp of the market is very inaccurate.
However, since his subordinates have recommended it, he, the team leader, will naturally not ignore it.
"Buddha is the Tao"? This name is a bit strange."
Dasuo quickly entered the review of the manuscript. Originally, he was still looking at ten lines at a glance, but his reading speed soon slowed down.
"It's interesting!"
Compared to Rongrong, Dasuo's vision is much more vicious. This novel is completely a double-edged sword, either soaring into the sky or completely failing.
"I haven't seen such a novel that started a sect for a long time."
Dasuo took a deep breath and replied directly to Rongrong: a thumbs-up emoticon pack.
Then, he stood up and rushed to the editor-in-chief's office.
"Dasuo, why are you here?"
Editor-in-chief San Chi is preparing the final list of the One Emperor and Four Kings.
"Editor-in-Chief, I have a strange book here. I want to use this competition to edit the main works of the three groups."
Dasuo decided to support this book.
"Oh, you have to know that the book "The Supreme Sword Saint" you recommended before has been selected as one of the four kings."
The meaning of San Chi is very obvious. In principle, each editorial group can have a quota. In addition to the main recommendation books, even if there are good books, the recommended quota from other groups will still be given priority.
Unless the quality of this book exceeds too many other works, it is possible to not occupy the quota.
Dasuo frowned and thought about it:
"The Supreme Sword Saint is indeed a rare masterpiece in this competition, and the market positioning is clear. You don't have to think about it. The sales volume will definitely be good. However, it is just good, and its upper limit is limited. However, although another book "The Buddha is the Tao" is very likely to fail, it may also become a divine book of a generation with the potential of a phenomenal work!"
Dasuo has been editing for so many years and has rarely seen books that can make his eyes shine.
So, he wanted to have a gamble.
"So, wait for me to see."
The editor-in-chief rarely saw Dasuo so serious, so he put down his work and started reading "Buddha is the Tao".
It took me half a day to finish the incident, and I was shocked after reading it.
I have to say that it is indeed a good book! However, it is indeed an alternative niche article.
As the editor-in-chief, he has to take comprehensive consideration and he is responsible for the overall sales.
San Chi read "The Supreme Sword Saint" again. This book is smooth in writing and has mainstream themes. If it is released, it will definitely be a big seller.
After thinking for a long time, San Chi finally made a decision.
"The Supreme Sword Saint" is the main book of the editorial group, and is listed as one emperor and four kings, while "The Buddha is the Tao" is listed as a special award.
"This time, the emperor and the four kings each put out 500,000 copies. As for the theme of "Buddha is the Tao", the subject matter is too niche, and for the sake of conservatism, I will publish 200,000 copies to test the waters!"
After receiving the final notice, Rongrong was naturally very disappointed.
"Okay, little girl, you should be proud to be able to sign such a book as soon as you debut. Next, let the market test it!"
Dasuo patted Rongrong on the shoulder. As a senior editor, he naturally understood the editor-in-chief's idea very well and agreed very much.
If "Buddha is the Tao" is real gold, then let the market provide feedback!
"Well, then I'll contact Mr. Huanyan now to sign the contract."
Chapter completed!
