"The Great Rivers and Lakes" has seven conference rooms, namely Sun, Moon, Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth, and is called Seven Stars. Sun and Moon are large conference rooms, used to hold heavyweight meetings or multi-level meetings for people. The other five elements offices are randomly selected by various departments to choose topics, and group temporary meetings can be held there.

This meeting was in the Moon Conference Room, which shows its importance.

Editor-in-Chief Zhou was as deep as water, sitting at the first seat of the conference seat. The editors and the editors sat quietly in their seats, not daring to show off.

"Don't make the atmosphere so tense. Today is an ordinary topic selection meeting." Editor-in-Chief Zhou said lightly. These leaders seemed to have always forgotten one thing. It was they who made the atmosphere like this and pretended to comfort everyone.

"That's right, Mihu handed me a manuscript today," Zhou Daoran said, Yang Yang's manuscript, "A novel with a novel of martial arts, you can first pass on it, and then you will all talk about your thoughts."

When everyone heard that it was not about the author's departure, they each breathed a sigh of relief. The tense atmosphere finally eased. An editor-in-chief suggested: "Let's read it separately, and the manuscript will disperse."

For these experienced editors, the place to look at the manuscript has basically no impact on the final judgment. The white manuscript paper flew into the hands of each editor like snowflakes, and the office immediately became quiet.

After reading the manuscript, Mi Hu looked at the editor-in-chief who was still pretending to be calm. Zhou Daoran was also very skilled in cultivation. He glanced at Mi Hu and was actually calm and calm to play with his ring, completely out of the matter.

"You can really pretend." Mihu secretly whispered in her belly.

"Where is Chapter 8?"

Half an hour later, an editor suddenly said something. As soon as he finished speaking, other editors responded:

"Please Chapter 7!"

"I want Chapter 10!"

"Where is the finale? Give it to me!"

Zhou Daoran still did not react to everyone's reaction, but the smile on Mihu's face spread a little bit, and it was indeed not unexpected, "This is the effect I want."

For these extensively read editors, it is so rare that a book they can’t wait for is a book!

After some chaos, everyone got what they wanted and the scene became quiet again.

"Ah, why is this happening?"

"Why……"

"I see."

...

As everyone enters the story deeper and deeper, people keep sighing, whether it is for the characters in the story or for the story itself.

"Martial arts should be dominated by martial arts. Martial arts should be used as a supplement, but the story should be interesting. Break the rules and be tolerant, and create a new situation in martial arts." After reading the manuscript and reading this note, a young male editor couldn't help but recite it out loud, "It means to open a new situation, that is to start a sect and establish a sect. What a big tone."

"Senior brother, do you think this author can do it?" Mihu asked with a question.

"This manuscript is indeed unique, but it is too early to start a sect. Mihu, you should have read the manuscript. I think you should have found that the manuscript is still very serious in imitating the old martial arts."

"What my senior brother said makes sense, but..."

"I don't agree with Lao Kuang's point of view," another editor was eager to snatch the topic of the conversation before Mi Hu could not say the following words. "The imitation part exists, but we should focus on the innovative part. As the saying goes, if you don't break, you won't build it, you will first break it and then build it. However, whether it is social change or literary change, the basis of the break or the original work, this break focuses on a degree and needs to be progressed step by step. This story cannot be said to be so exciting, and the emotional description is not so moving, but the new signs reflected in it are worth thinking about and digging, especially the last sentence explained by the author, which shows that the author has this ambition and idea."

After hearing the editor's speech, Mi Hu nodded immediately to express his agreement. Lao Kuang shook his head and retorted: "Martial arts and martial arts are naturally indispensable. You can see that the martial arts description in the whole story is very old-fashioned and stereotyped. As the highlight of the novel - emotional description, there is nothing prominent in the book, and it seems very dull."

"I have a question," Mihu was confident about this manuscript. After hearing Editor Kuang's comments, he naturally had to say a few words, "I just wanted to ask everyone, have you read such martial arts novels before?" She deliberately said the word martial arts very seriously, so naturally no one answered.

"Editor Kuang said a few things just now are correct, but there are some generalities. Those judgments are suitable for every novel, especially the popular novels such as youth pain and sadness. In our traditional thinking and concepts, martial arts novels are nothing more than fighting and killing. However, this article "Dragon and Tiger Fighting Jinghua" has begun to have new things, and there is ambition to write martial arts novels as novels. I wonder if all seniors and sisters have the same feeling?" Mi Hu posted a long speech on unification, and finally did not forget to throw a question to everyone.

"I agree with Mihu's statement. In the past month, I received nearly a hundred manuscripts from my mailbox. The nine-story is about youth, and the story is also full of sadness and pain. The male protagonists are all handsome and noble. The female protagonists are basically Cinderellas from poor families, but they generally strive for self-improvement. When they try, they throw a stack of money on the male protagonist and question the male protagonist, "Do you think you have two bad money to trample on others' self-esteem?" I was happy or not and slapped the cool male protagonist several times. Strangely, these unruly male protagonists are masochistic. After being beaten, they immediately become interested in the female protagonist and then they can't extricate themselves." Another editor said in a jokey tone. Before he finished speaking, the other editors nodded and agreed.

"The general setting is that the male protagonist is a cold and rich child, and the female protagonist is a simple and kind silly girl. After a series of bloody scenes, the male protagonist discovers the female protagonist's simple and kindness, and then falls in love with the female protagonist."

"And there is usually another rich female second-class female lead. This female lead usually has an engagement with the male lead, and she must be beautiful, but she is a woman with extremely corrupt moral qualities. She keeps secretive and harming the female lead, and eventually the ugly face is discovered by the male lead."

"Yes, sometimes there will be a second male lead. One thing this second male lead must do is to punch the male lead in the chin, and to leave a sentence, 'XX or XXX is a kind and simple girl. If you dare to hurt her again, I promise not to let you go'."

"There is another classic line that the male protagonist is very sad and moving to the second or N male protagonist, and in fact, we have all been changed by XX or XXX."

...

The discussion manuscript will quickly turn into a tutoring meeting. Editor-in-chief Zhou Daoran finally stopped silent. He coughed and said, "It's off topic. Although I'm very happy to listen to it, I've turned my thoughts back when I've off topic."

For these writers, it is common for them to go off topic at meetings, but they also have the experience of chatting birthday parties into topic selection meetings. Editor Kuang took the lead in returning to the topic and said: "Everyone criticized it right, but have we ever thought about why these things are popular?" Editor Kuang paused slightly and added: "The market, because these things have markets."

"As creators, we cannot be led by the market, we must be led by the market." Mihu retorted.

"Is that true?" Editor-in-chief Kuang smiled, looked at Mi Hu and said, "What about your previous book "The Bird Stayed"?"

"Remaining the Bird" is Mihu's debut and famous work. She completed the book at the age of fifteen. After that, she did not strike while the iron was hot, but changed her career and became an editor, occasionally writing some commentary texts. At this time, Editor-in-Chief Kuang suddenly mentioned that this book was undoubtedly a very powerful counterattack.

Mi Hu was not hit. She met Editor Kuang's gaze and said, "That was my work two years ago. Editor Kuang used works two years ago to discuss the current topic selection. Wouldn't it prove my point of view from another perspective?"

A gorgeous blow!

Editor-in-chief Kuang was stunned and hesitated and couldn't speak. At this time, Editor-in-Chief Zhou Daoran finally came forward to take charge of the overall situation:

"I listened to everyone's opinions and said it very well. I'll summarize a few words." When everyone heard the editor-in-chief's speech, they immediately shut up and focused their attention together.

"I won't talk about this book first, let me mention a data. Last year's statistics, everyone should know that our market share of "Big Jianghu" has dropped by nearly 15%. At the same time, the share of "Ding Novel" has increased by 10%, reaching about 63%. In the past three months this year, the situation has continued to deteriorate. "Ding Novel"'s dominance in the field of youth literature has basically been established, and our "Big Jianghu" will also be renamed "Little Jianghu". Last week, I went to the headquarters for a meeting. Bo Ye said it very clearly. If the situation still does not improve this year, everyone may have to forget each other."

The conference room was so quiet that even the sound of people's heartbeat was clearly heard. The once glorious "The Great Rivers and Lakes" actually had such a day, which was a disheartening thing in any case.

"But everyone doesn't have to be too nervous. We won't sit still and wait for death. Many measures are being improved. Another one is today's manuscript. My opinion is that if we create a good momentum and do a good job of publicity, and guide this author, I believe that martial arts will usher in a new era. Even if we don't reach the ideal state, we will at least attract a group of readers."

The editor-in-chief has the final ruling power. Since he said so, "Dragon and Tiger Fight against Jinghua" must be promoted well.

"Mihu, you are responsible for contacting the author, clarifying the situation, confirming it is himself, and then listening to his ideas. Xiao Tang, you are responsible for writing promotional copy," Zhou Daoran glanced at Editor-in-Chief Kuang and continued: "Propaganda is divided into two waves. Before and after the article, the previous wave of movement should not be too large. The focus is on deliberately guiding the concept of new martial arts, and then conducting a second wave of publicity after the response. Do you understand?"

"I understand." Everyone agreed.
Chapter completed!
