Chapter 24 The Long clan’s submission was rejected! Please recommend =-=
Shanghai, Germination Editorial Department.
Editor-in-chief Xiao Tao looked up from a pile of submission letters, feeling like stars were shining in her eyes and her chest felt tight.
What happened to these manuscripts recently, youth campus novels, either abortion or car accident.
She rubbed her temples, took a deep breath, and picked up the next manuscript.
"Long Tribe".
The name was okay. Xiao Tao habitually looked at the author - Nan Jiang.
The boss told by the editor-in-chief.
Xiao Tao picked up the letter and knocked on the door of the editor's office.
Hu Weishi: "Please come in."
Xiao Tao: "Editor-in-Chief, Nanjiang's latest submission is here."
Hu Weishi took the submission letter from Xiaotao with some expectations. Last time she competed with Zhang Chen and won by a small margin. Recently, Zhang Chen has found experts in the essay industry to prepare for a comeback.
Hu Weishi took out the manuscript and looked at it carefully.
She reads manuscripts very quickly, finishing a 10,000-word manuscript in just eight minutes.
"good!"
Hu Weishi had never been so happy. The last time she wrote a short story, she could only see that Nanjiang's writing style was full of spirit and the story was told fluently. But to be honest, his writing style was immature. This time, Longzu's writing style was very sophisticated, and could even be said to be proficient.
Hu Weishi came to a conclusion in an instant: "The setting is novel, the emotions and characters are delicate and graceful, the story is clichéd, and there are no flaws. It is a superior work."
The most important thing is that this novel focuses on youth campus, which coincides with her ideas. If it works well, it will be the most powerful weapon in her hand.
Hu Weishi figured out how to operate it almost instantly. She stood up and hurried towards the editor-in-chief's office.
Germination Editor's Office.
Zhao Changtian put down the manuscript in his hand and sighed: "Xiao Hu, this novel is indeed good, but we can't publish it."
Hu Weishi's smile froze: "Old Zhao, you can't fail to see the value of this novel. Based on it alone, I dare to issue a military order to double the sales of Germination."
Zhao Changtian smiled bitterly: "Of course I know, but the club is preparing for a new concept literature competition. This novel is too commercial in nature. At this critical moment, we cannot make mistakes."
"Sprout is a literary publication after all, I hope you can understand."
Hu Weishi was silent. After a long time, he said helplessly: "Old Zhao, think about it. Mo Ya not only missed a novel, but also missed an opportunity to be a leader in the industry."
After leaving the editor-in-chief's office, Hu Weishi sat on a chair, looking at Longzu's manuscripts in a daze. For the first time, she had an idea whether she should change her working environment.
She thought for a while, picked up her cell phone and made a call.

Naturally, Han Qiao never imagined that Jiang Lao X Thief's novel would one day be rejected.
He has been waiting for news since the interview at Hengdian Hotel the day before yesterday.
After two days, the crew did not contact him, and he had almost given up. Thinking of missing such a good opportunity, Han Qiao was also a little decadent.
On this day, Han Qiao was writing hard at his desk. There was no progress in filming for the time being, so he would take another road. All roads lead to Rome. As a reborn person, there is no place where he cannot start.
Now that I have money, I can invest in making movies myself.
"Dong dong dong."
There was a knock on the door.
Han Qiao opened the door, and Fatty Wang saw Han Qiao in the spring breeze: "Brother Han, your audition was successful. The role of You Longsheng is yours."
As he said this, he handed the script in his hand to Han Qiao. This script was a complete version, and every character in the crew had a copy.
Han Qiao couldn't help but feel happy when he looked at the script in his hand. After working hard for so long, it was finally not in vain.
"Brother Wang, I will gather at Xianzhuang tonight and I won't come back until I'm drunk. Thanks to you this time, I will never forget it." Han Qiao was very grateful to Fatty Wang. He had fought for this opportunity to audition.
Fatty Wang smiled and waved his hand: "Brother Han, you're welcome. It was Mr. Wang who said hello and you added your own strength to win the role."
Han Qiao smiled: "They are all indispensable."
……………………
April 12th.
Han Qiao went to the crew to sign the contract, negotiate remuneration, and confirm all the procedures.
If there is a brokerage company, there will be a broker to handle all these things, but Han Qiao is currently a single agent, and he can only do everything by himself.
The first is the pay.
You Longsheng is considered a supporting actor. Although his salary is not as exorbitant as that of a leading actor, which can easily reach tens of thousands per episode, it is not comparable to that of an ensemble cast. In the end, the deal was negotiated for 30,000 yuan for a movie, and the shooting time was three months. After all, it was a good monthly salary.
Income exceeds 10,000.
Not to mention the high income in the entertainment industry, it is still 1999, and thirty thousand yuan is already considered a huge sum of money.
Han Qiao communicated with the crew about the special actors again, and the crew was very happy. If there is a need for special actors in the future, they will settle the bill at RMB 2,000 per role and sign two contracts.
Han Qiao also thought carefully about this. He was a supporting role and did not need to film with the crew at all, but he had nothing else to do. He could not only study on the crew, but also earn another income.
Everything is settled, the time is set for joining the cast on April 15th, and the shooting of Xiao Li's Flying Knife is also scheduled to start on April 16th.

Han Qiao returned to the rental house, but Liu Mei was not there.
This girl was stimulated by Han Qiao, and recently she went out early and came back late every day when she was running for a movie. With her image and Fatty Wang taking care of her, the movies she received were at least mid-level special commissions.
Han Qiao had nothing to do and cleaned the room inside and out.
After finishing the work, it was already eight o'clock in the evening.
He was lying on the bed, listening to the insects chirping outside the window. The room was quiet, and suddenly he felt lonely in his heart.
Maybe he has never been so idle. Since his rebirth, he has either been running for survival or struggling to pursue his dreams. Now that the future is promising, he has no goals.
Only then did he realize that he was a passerby.

Shanghai, a cafe on the Bund.
Hu Weishi stood up and said hello to the beautiful woman who came over.
The beauty walked to Hu Weishi and sat down: "You've been waiting for a long time."
Hu Weishi: "I haven't seen Tian Tian for a long time. I just arrived and ordered your favorite Blue Mountain coffee."
"It's such a waste of money. It seems you have something to ask of me." The beauty smiled brightly.
"You read it first, and then you have to beg me after you finish it." Hu Weishi took out Nan Jiang's manuscript from his briefcase.
The last time his manuscript was rejected by Sprout Magazine, Zhang Weishi did not give up. He contacted Shanghai People's Publishing House and prepared to ask friends in the publishing house to publish the book.
Of course, she is also careful and has full authority to act as an agent, so the profits will not be less.
The beauty took the manuscript and looked at it carefully.
She read very slowly. A 10,000-word manuscript was only three chapters, but she read it for half an hour.
Half an hour later, Tian Tian put down the manuscript and picked up the coffee on the table. The coffee was already cold, but she didn't notice: "How many words does this novel have?"
Hu Weishi spread his hands: "Not sure."
"But judging from the preface, this novel is a series of novels. According to the setting, there are at least four novels."
Tian Tian: "This novel can be published. You should contact the author first and see how long it will take to get a book together. The price depends on the quality. As long as the follow-up does not collapse, the price of sixteen yuan should be no problem."
The two discussed the follow-up, and Tian Tian took the manuscript back to the publishing house for the president to review.
Hu Weishi took out the letter paper from his briefcase and began to write a letter to Han Qiao: "Mr. Nan, your words are as clear as your face. I have read your work..."
After writing about two thousand words, Hu Weishi put down the pen, reviewed it, and asked the coffee shop to mail it.
She looked at the sparkling water of the Huangpu River, full of curiosity about the Nanjiang River she had never seen before.
Chapter completed!
