The Great God of Net Wen was reborn in 1927

Chapter 114 Abbott editors meet, hot new...

It has only been serialized for three chapters now, and the publication has been increased by [-]% in the second half of the year. Mr. Abbott's original Buddhist character has been excited for several days now, and he calmed down a little until these two days.

He is now sitting in the cafe by the window, staring at everyone who enters the store, and has already made a preliminary judgment on the two authors in his mind.

The writing style is very good, it should be orthodox education, it should be a college graduate with a major in this field, with excellent imagination, and the setting of superpowers - it must be a wide range of reading books and not limited to novels, even Biology, medicine, physics are covered.

I just don’t know how the two authors divided their labor and why they chose to write this novel together.

To be honest, Abt thinks he can come up with these settings, but he absolutely has no intention of sharing the results with others.

So when I saw two Chinese people, one was tall and the other was short, and the other looked only eighteen or nine years old, but they were really handsome that people couldn't take their eyes off.One looks very cute and beautiful, but it looks like a junior high school student.

These two are well-dressed and well-groomed. It can be seen that they are children of wealthy Chinese businessmen or upper-class families.

When the two of them looked around for a week, they quickly decided that Abbott's position was coming straight, and Abbott's heart skipped a beat: he expected to be around 30 years old, two white men with high education, maybe even wearing vests old author.

Seeing these two people walking in front of him, the pale and handsome man of Chinese yellow race asked him politely: "Excuse me, is this editor Abbot?"

Abbott felt that his current expression must be very similar to suffering from Parkinson's syndrome. He hardly had any doubts about how demented his expression was when he met Shen Lingjun and Xu Shaoting for the first time.

"I... I am..." Abbott said.

Immediately he couldn't hold back: "My God! Are you two the authors of "A Hero Is Born?"

"To be precise, I am the translator of "A Hero Is Born." The extremely handsome Chinese man of color smiled proudly.

Abt thought: You are only responsible for the translation, and you did not write it. Is it really ok to have such a proud expression on your face?

He put his hand on the shoulder of the minor next to him very familiarly and naturally: "This Mr. Xu Shaoting, since Moon Wind is the author of "A Hero Is Born", because English is not his mother tongue after all, so I, the second generation of immigrants, are in charge. The matter of novel translation.”

Abt tremblingly picked up the lemonade in front of him, and drank it in one breath under the suspicious eyes of the two.

After drinking, he held the glass, stared at the glass, then glanced at Xu Shaoting, then carefully retracted his gaze, then glanced at Shen Lingjun quietly, and then said: "Please sit down, both of you."

Before I came here, I had imagined that the editor in charge of "The Birth of a Hero" probably didn't know that they were Chinese.There are lessons learned from Linda Black, and the current Chinese Exclusion Act has not been repealed.

The two of them also made a good plan that if they were a racially discriminatory white editor, they would rather give up the serialization in "Youth School" than bear the humiliation and wrong themselves.

After arriving, according to the location agreed on the phone, they saw a chubby white man about 30 years old with brown hair sitting there.

It looks like he has a good temper, but there is no doubt that he is a white male.

I have already prepared the worst plan in my heart, but the expression and behavior of this Abbott editor...

"Editor Abt." Shaoting called out, extremely curious, "Are you so thirsty?"

"Whenever I'm nervous or encounter something incredible." Abt squeezed a smile and looked at the underage author, "I can't help but drink more water, it's an old problem."

"Oh." The boy nodded, "Shall I order you another glass of lemonade?"

Abt squeezed out a voice from his throat: "No need, but I can ask, how old are you?"

Hearing this, in his opinion, the boy, who will never be over 15 years old anyway, replied frankly: "I am already. No matter in terms of law or age, I can be fully responsible for my actions."

Editor Abbot called the waiter very weakly: "Give me another glass, no, three glasses of lemonade."

The lemonade was served quickly, and Shao Ting felt that this scene was really hard to imagine. He and Shen Lingjun only felt that this Abbott editor was acting like Ms. Lu Huaran's evaluation of white Americans: a bunch of stupid big guys, The most thing I do all day is to go offline (unreliable).

"Aren't you really impersonators?" Editor Abbot couldn't help asking.

"Both of us talked to you on the phone. We still deliver the manuscript to the front desk of the magazine in person. You can also ask the front desk. She should be very impressed with the two of us." The handsome Chinese man said.

Only then did Abt sit up straight, and he finally quickly entered the role of work, and then he said solemnly: "I'm really sorry, mainly because I really didn't expect such an article to be so mature and excellent in wording, structure and content. Such a novel can be written by such a talented author."

"This is not the level that new writers can achieve." Abt took a deep look at the young Chinese boy, "Moen, you are a truly talented author!"

"I'm really not a newcomer author..." Shaoting felt that he couldn't bear this evaluation. In his previous life, he had read several books before his grades improved. Who would write so many books.

He could only reply: "When I was in China, I had already published two or three novels in series, and I was already a best-selling author in Shanghai. It was only because of personal reasons that I came to the United States. I had nothing else to do, so I chose Continue to write fiction here for a living."

Abbott would not take the author Moen's modesty seriously. He has seen all kinds of people for so many years, and it is easy to see that the family backgrounds of the two people in front of him are quite rich.

However, Abbott was not interested in his experience in China. As the United States was a world power, Abbott was not racist. There were black members and mixed-race descendants in their family, and the overall family environment was very gentle and friendly.

But as a native of the United States, his own country has a rich entertainment culture, so he really never had the idea of ​​exploring the cultural history of other countries.

What's more, in his cognition, that poor and backward big eastern country.

He doesn't discriminate, but he's also not interested in the slightest bit.

The only thing Abbott is interested in is the author's age: "So when you say you're dissatisfied, you're already a best-selling author."

"Moen, this is an excellent point of publicity. The October issue has already been printed, but we can publicize it on the cover of the November issue: an exclusive interview with the genius author of "A Hero Is Born", a mysterious oriental boy from the other side of the ocean."

"We can also print your photo on the cover." Abt smiled, as if he had seen countless gold coins fly into his pocket.

"Of course it's just a small piece on the title, and the inside cover can give half of your photo a page. After all, your appearance is really cute. I believe many female readers will buy it."

Speaking of this, Abbott looked at Shen Lingjun again, as if evaluating: "Well, the handsome and single young master from a rich oriental family is also a good topic."

I just wanted to talk about the novel, but upon hearing Abt's thoughts, Shen Lingjun and Xu Shaoting: "..."

Sure enough, this is the world of capitalists. Everything is for the sake of gaining fame and traffic, and attracting as much attention as possible, just to sell more magazines.

Abt is indeed not a racist, he is clearly a very qualified capitalist and worker.

Both of them rejected the "planning" edited by Abbott. It was a pity for the chubby white man, and he persuaded him a few more words: "This will bring you a lot of female fans."

But he obviously didn't see that these two men were not interested in female fans.

Closer to home, today Shaoting brought a manuscript of [-] words, plus the [-] words delivered before, Editor Abt expressed his hard work: "You only need to submit a manuscript of [-] words a month. After working for so many years, I have never met a more diligent author than you. They usually only tell me that they haven’t written a single word when I call to urge the manuscript.”

All three of them laughed out loud. Because of the friendly attitude of Abbott's editor, the conversation between the editor and the author ended quite satisfactorily.

After the contract was signed and the check for the first draft fee was received, the editor Abt had dinner with the two of them again. He skipped work this afternoon openly and aboveboard, and if he was generous, he had to pay for it himself.

Everything shows that this is not only Abbott's attitude, but also that the magazines behind him are extremely optimistic about the novel "A Hero Is Born".

What surprised the entire magazine was yet to come. On December 20st, the agreed delivery date, this time Xu Shaoting directly handed in the entire manuscript, and he finished the novel with a total of [-] words within two months.

Abbott reviewed the novel. From the wonderful beginning to the follow-up, not only was it not weak, but even after reading the whole book, he was still unsatisfied.

At the same time, Abbott also talked about the publication of "The Birth of a Hero", which will be divided into two volumes. The first [-]-word book is expected to be released at the end of the year, just in time with the magazine.

Coincidentally, the publisher negotiated by "The Birth of a Hero" magazine was precisely Platinum Publishing House, which rejected Shaoting earlier.

And different from that time, this time Platinum Press won the publishing rights of "The Birth of a Hero" with the salary contract that only a best-selling author can have, so they won this book.

No way, Platinum Publishing House is not a fool. "A Hero Is Born" was already popular in New York in December, without exaggeration.
