Jin Mu accepted Lin Yuan's manuscript: "Weizhou will hold the annual Xinghe Award next month. This is Weizhou's most authoritative science fiction award. We can pass the work over and see if we can win it." If you win an award there, it will have a very good boost to sales."

"is it necessary?"

"Of course it's not necessary in our market, but don't you want to break into Weizhou's sci-fi market? It's quite necessary there, because the sci-fi fans there have a strong sense of xenophobia, except for Zhongzhou, which is slightly higher than theirs. , I’m not interested in science fiction from other continents, I always think that writers from other continents can’t write very good science fiction. If we get the recognition of the Galaxy Award, then it will be half the effort to enter the Weizhou market, because they are not interested in the Galaxy Award. The recognition rate is still very high.”

"Row."

"Time is running out. It is estimated that the time will end in a few days. I thought you would miss it. Of course it would be best if you catch up. Let the Yinlan library pass it over. They have a special contact channel."

Jin Mu smiled.

Lin Yuan nodded in agreement.

He can understand what Kaneki means. Winning an award is like gilding a work. With this layer of gilding, the public will have something to look forward to.

This is the embarrassment of Xinzhou just merged.

Chu Kuang's reputation can be enjoyed by Qin Qi, Chu Yan, Han Zhao, and does not need gold-plated awards, but if he wants to enter the Weizhou market with science fiction novels, he needs such gold-plated. After all, Weizhou has only joined the merger for a few months, and the reader base is not high. , the old thief is far less popular than other merged states.

"Then I'll go back first."

Lin Yuan doesn't need to worry about the rest of the book after finishing the book, Jin Mu will arrange everything clearly.

"Goodbye."

Jin Mu took out his mobile phone and contacted Yinlan Library.

Chu Kuang’s first two science fiction novels were both short stories, and they were published directly on the blog. This time, it’s a short novel, and it will definitely go through the publishing channel. This requires Yinlan Bookstore to be responsible for the specific operations.

Chapter 79

Silver blue library.

The editor-in-chief, Lu Beizheng, took the heads of various departments of the company to a meeting, and came up with one sentence:

"Everyone shut down."

It turned out that the meeting had just started for 5 minutes when someone's cell phone rang.

Lu Bei glared angrily:

"Who!"

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and finally their eyes stopped on the table: "It seems to be the editor-in-chief's mobile phone."

"cough."

That's fine.

Lu Bei coughed lightly and connected to the phone.

After 2 minutes, the mobile phone was hung up, and Lu Bei's eyes scanned the audience again, and suddenly threw out a heavy message:

"Chu Kuang's new book is finished."

Lu Bei's voice fell, and the whole meeting room suddenly became lively.

The old bear in the fantasy editorial department has hot eyes!

Cao Dezhi from the reasoning editorial department is ready to move!

Lin Xuan, the editor-in-chief of the fairy tale editorial department, is gearing up!

The editors-in-chief of the other editorial departments licked their lips nervously!

Lu Bei felt that those sitting in the conference room were no longer the editors-in-chief of the major editorial departments, but a group of hungry wolves!

at this time.

The eyes of these hungry wolves were staring at him, emitting a faint green light, as if they wanted to swallow themselves alive.

Fortunately, Lu Bei understands:

What this group of people want to swallow is not themselves.

What this group of people want to swallow is Chu Kuang's new book.

Yinlan Library has a classic saying that is widely circulated among various departments:

Those who win Chu madness win the world!

After all, it is a publishing company, and the performance pressure of each department is still very high. Who doesn't want Chu Kuang's new book type to be in charge of the operation of the department he is responsible for?

No secrets.

Lu Bei understands everyone's urgency: "Chu Kuang's new book is about science fiction, and Tian Chun, the editor-in-chief of the science fiction department, is in charge of contacting it."

"what!"

The editor-in-chief of the science fiction department named Tian Chun stood up suddenly, and his face turned purple with excitement as he screamed in surprise:

"Roger that!"

Lu Bei was taken aback by Tian Chun's reaction, and immediately nodded with a wry smile: "Then you have to work hard, Teacher Chu Kuang is not easy to serve."

"I will definitely enshrine him as my ancestor!"

Tian Chun patted his chest to promise.

Old Bear sighed.

Why doesn't Teacher Chu Kuang continue to write fantasy novels?

Cao Dezhi also looked disappointed. He had been looking forward to another mystery novel from Mr. Chu Kuang.

Lin Xuan gritted her teeth.

She is seriously considering the possibility of letting her younger brother go to Chu Kuang's house.

soon.

End of the meeting.

Tian Chun rushed to the science fiction department as if his butt was on fire, and the editors who were watching from behind were all envious and jealous.

2 minute later.

Huge cheers erupted in the sci-fi department!

"Hit the jackpot!"

"Chu Kuang finally came to our science fiction department!"

"Brother said before that Chu Kuang might write a long sci-fi novel next, and he has been watching the blog news. He hinted that the next novel might be set on Mars some time ago, and he has written two short sci-fi novels to test the waters. It's time for a long story!"

"Old thief yyds!"

"The old thief Chu Kuang is here to save us!"

"Our results for this quarter are finally promising!"

"So what if the decline of Qin Zhou's science fiction, as long as it's a book written by an old thief, I don't have to worry about readers not buying it!"

"Take off!"

The editors of the science fiction department are like chicken blood.

The cheers were heard even by the major departments next door.

After learning the specific reasons, all departments could only let out a long sigh, especially those departments that had never cooperated with Chu Kuang.

When will Chu Kuang get lucky with us?

All departments of Yinlan Library are under performance pressure.

For Chu Kuang, all departments are "seeking luck".

……

After finally calming down.

Nervously and apprehensively, Tian Chun contacted Jin Mu, the legendary "Chu Kuang's manager".

"Hi, I'm Tian Chun, editor-in-chief of the Science Fiction Department of Yinlan Library!"

"Hello Editor-in-Chief Tian, ​​I have sent the manuscript to the editor-in-chief of your company."

"I already received!"

"Then I just have something to ask you guys. Teacher Chu Kuang wants to send the new book to Weizhou to participate in the selection of the Galaxy Award."

"Galaxy Award?"

Tian Chun was obviously stunned for a moment: "As one of the three top sci-fi awards of Bluestar, the Galaxy Award is open to all continents, but the organizers are quite closed and rarely award awards to works from other continents."

In fact, it's not that Wei Zhou favors his own writers.

It’s true that the level of sci-fi in different continents differs too much from Weizhou’s, so the Xinghe Award feels like it’s Weizhou’s own award, and very few writers from other continents win the award.

"It's okay, just send it over."

"it is good."

Tian Chun naturally agreed.

After hanging up the phone, the deputy editor next to Tian Chun said, "I just heard that Mr. Chu Kuang's new book wants to win the Galaxy Award?"

"Ah."

Tian Chundao: "You know about the Xinghe Awards, the selection criteria are too high, what if Mr. Chu Kuang is not selected?"

"Just don't advertise."

The deputy editor smiled and said: "If the outside world doesn't know, it will naturally not damage the reputation of Teacher Chu Kuang."

"Right."

Tian Chun became happy again: "Mr. Chu Kuang's sci-fi works, it doesn't matter whether Weizhou readers buy it or not, anyway, Qin Qi, Chu Yan, Han Zhao Liuzhou will definitely buy it!"

"Ah."

The deputy editor smiled again: "I have read the two short stories by Mr. Chu Kuang. In fact, from my point of view, maybe we should have some confidence in Mr. Chu Kuang. His sci-fi creation level is very high, no better than some Wei Zhou novels. Big-name sci-fi writers are bad."

"Of course I understand that."

Tian Chun said: "Isn't this lack of confidence? Weizhou's science fiction level is too high, almost equal to Zhongzhou's. It's not like you don't know what's going on with Qinzhou's science fiction.

This is an inferiority complex.

Tian Chun has been the editor-in-chief of the science fiction department of Qinzhou Yinlan Library for many years. He has always felt inferior to the current situation of Qinzhou science fiction.

"Let's look at the quality first, "The Martian", tsk tsk."

The deputy editor stared at the name of Chu Kuang's new book, with a strong sense of anticipation in his eyes. He also followed Chu Kuang's blog, and probably knew that the content of this novel would focus on the survival of Mars, not to mention Chu Kuang's influence. In fact, this gimmick alone already made him look forward to it.

"Ah."

Tian Chun nodded.

If other sci-fi writers from Qinzhou wanted to compete for the Xinghe Award, Tian Chun would definitely scoff.

And if the immortal Chu Kuang made the move, Tian Chun would really dare to ignite a small flame of hope in his heart.

……

As the pillar of the Yinlan library, any novel by Chu Kuang is highly valued in the Yinlan library.

From the company leader to the small editor of the department, everything will be treated with caution.

As the editor-in-chief of the company, after finishing his official duties, Lu Bei also made a special trip to the science fiction department when he was off work.

What surprised Lu Bei was:

No one in the sci-fi department left work!

Everyone's eyes were fixed on their respective computer desktops, sliding the mouse wheel from time to time.

even--

The appearance of editor-in-chief Lu Bei did not attract everyone's attention.

The minds of the editors are completely attracted by a certain work on the computer, as if there is magic in that work.
