The editorial meeting of Novel Trendy is held every Friday afternoon. Editors may be very few who maintain a career with weekend breaks, because for editors, whether they have a day off or not has nothing to do with the day of the week, but only with the authors they have. They are the biggest. Even if they have a holiday, they still have to work hard on their rest days.
Shunsuke Hanyu has compiled several novels that he has prepared to recommend. According to the layout, each editor will have a different number of recommendation places based on different qualifications, past performance, etc. All the works recommended by the editors plus the editor-in-chief hand-picked The total number of works can probably form the content of the monthly magazine"New Trends in Fiction".
These contents are not decided in one editorial meeting, because different new works are received every week, and some works are always better, so the works decided in the previous week need to be replaced.
As a newcomer to the workplace for half a year, Hanyu Shunsuke has four recommendation quotas, which means he can recommend four or more works for everyone to discuss, but only four will be approved in the end.
In fact, it is not good for each editor to have different recommendation quotas. After all, some editors will always have excellent works on their hands, and the role of the editor-in-chief will be reflected at this time.
At 2:30 in the afternoon, everyone packed up their things and brought their tools to the large conference room. They sat down as usual. The editor-in-chief always arrived last. He would not come from the office until everyone in the conference room had arrived.
"So, as usual, I'll first summarize my work status last week."
Editor-in-chief Tian Yichun is also a veteran. He talked a lot, including a mixture of facts and chicken soup, ensuring that everyone present must always concentrate or they may miss some specific matters.
"So let’s get down to business, starting with Xuangu editor."
The core of the editorial meeting is to select outstanding works, and the rest will take a back seat.
"The first work I recommend is a classic mystery novel, which roughly tells the story of a murder case in a secret room. The plot is very interesting, you can read it."
The intercepted clips were projected on the big screen.
Hanyu Shunsuke read it with interest.
The writing was average, and the clues were somewhat deliberate. The protagonist's personality was not very likable, but the tricks were quite interesting. He gave an evaluation.
But the original style Mystery novels are of high quality as long as the plot is interesting and the description is reasonable.
As expected,
"The writing needs to be refined."
An editor spoke
"Narrative writing also needs some attention."
Some editors also said.
Hanyu Shunsuke listened to their opinions and said nothing himself. There was no need for him to get involved.
As long as there is a workplace, there will always be dirty things. In the editor's profession, the editorial meeting that determines the recommendation quota is It’s really a battle between swords and swords. After all, every successfully published work is considered a performance.
"Editor Hanyu, any thoughts? Editor
Tianyi suddenly asked.
The other editors were already quarreling with editor Xuangu. Xuangu said that interesting tricks meant that qualified mystery novels could be published. The other editors would discuss and denounce this work from all angles.
Everyone has their own reasons, and no one can convince them; usually it is the editor-in-chief who sets the tone at this time, but Hanyu Shunsuke did not expect that the editor-in-chief would actually speak and ask him, is this a way of diverting trouble? Did he offend the editor-in-chief in any way? Hanyu Shunsuke was deep in thought, but his expression remained unchanged.
No matter which side he stood on, he would always have a grudge against the other party, but if neither party really wanted to offend, it would not be good to make peace with him.
Hanyu Shunsuke did not have much experience in the workplace. , so I don’t know what’s the best thing to say at this moment.
"I think this work is qualified as a mystery novel, and other details can be modified through the editor's guidance."
He just made the comment from his heart.
"Then it’s settled like this. Editor Xuangu, go and communicate with the writer and ask him to revise it."
Editor-in-chief Tianyi nodded in approval.
Shunsuke Hanyu was not a fool. He was vaguely aware of something.
One editor came after another, and it was rare to recommend a work that everyone recognized. It always had to go through a battle of words. , Hanyu Shunsuke didn’t find it noisy, but found it interesting, because everyone would not find fault with the eggs, which would be too substandard.
As an editor, you can always find many things when you criticize a work, even if Put a Nobel Prize-winning work in front of them and tell them it is just a work by a newcomer, and they will be able to pick out a lot of it.
"Now, editor Hanyu will speak."
Editor-in-chief Tianyi presided over the recollection.
Shunsuke Hanyu recommended the four works he selected step by step, two swordsman novels and two mystery novels. He first described the advantages, then the shortcomings, and then compared them to some similar works, covering all aspects.
Then other The editor started to speak and started pointing. Hanyu Shunsuke would occasionally refute the exaggerated words, and then the editor-in-chief made a decision.
"As a final word, I recently stumbled across some alarming data when I was doing research. So I wrote a novel and wanted everyone to read it."
Shunsuke Hanyu said.
The editors at the conference table had different expressions. Shunsuke Hanyu clicked on his own work and projected it on the screen.
Everyone was reading, and there was silence in the conference room.
"What do you think?"
Editor-in-chief Tianyi looked at them with interest.
"A very powerful work. Editor Hanyu deserves to be a member of Tokyo University’s Faculty of Literature."
"Thought provoking topic."
Hanyu Shunsuke found that he had never encountered much difficulty after entering"New Wave of Novel". The occasional quarrels were caused by different opinions on the work and were of a work nature.
But he was not Fukuzawa Yuki either. Gee, there are always people to hate.
"What is the classification of this work? Doesn’t it fit well with the magazine’s readership? And will serializing your own edited works make people feel that the magazine's impartiality is hindered?"
Editor Fuchun said.
This is an editor who doesn't get along well with Hanyu Shunsuke. He has sixteen years of working experience in novel novels. He is a very senior editor. For some reasons, he doesn't like Hanyu Shunsuke very much.
"Also, while the story seems good, does anyone really care about something like this?"
He continued to add.
Some people agreed with him, and some people refuted it. Shunsuke Hanyu kept paying attention and remembered them clearly.
"Editor-in-chief Tianyi, what do you think?"
Hanyu Shunsuke looked at the person who ultimately had the right to make the decision.
Everyone present had signed confidentiality agreements, non-competition agreements and the like. There is no such thing as his work being leaked. If it's not possible here, just submit elsewhere.
"Although what editor Fuchun said makes sense, this work is quite in-depth and thought-provoking. Excellent works can transcend categories and be read by everyone."
Editor-in-chief Tianyi said
"Included in serialization standards."
He made a decision.
