Silver Blue Library.
Editor-in-Chief Lü Beizheng was holding a meeting with the heads of various departments of the company, and the first thing he said was:
"Everyone turn off your phone."
As a result, just five minutes into the meeting, someone's cell phone rang.
Lu Bei glared:
"who!"
Everyone looked at each other, and finally their eyes stopped on the table: "It seems to be your mobile phone, the editor-in-chief."
"cough."
That's okay.
Lu Bei coughed lightly and answered the phone.
Two minutes later, the phone was disconnected. Lu Bei's eyes swept across the entire venue again, and suddenly he dropped a bombshell:
"Chu Kuang's new book is finished."
As soon as Lu Bei's voice fell, the whole conference room suddenly became lively.
The old bear in the fantasy editorial department has a fiery look in his eyes!
Cao Dezhi from the mystery editorial department is ready to make a move!
Lin Xuan, the editor-in-chief of the fairy tale editorial department, is getting ready to go!
The editors-in-chief of other editorial departments licked their lips nervously!
Lu Bei felt that the people sitting in the conference room were no longer the editors-in-chief of major editorial departments, but a group of hungry wolves!
at this time.
The eyes of these hungry wolves were staring at him intently, emitting a faint green light, as if they wanted to swallow him alive.
Fortunately, Lu Bei understood:
It’s not themselves that these people want to swallow up.
What this group of people wanted to swallow was Chu Kuang’s new book.
There is a classic saying in the Silver Blue Library that is widely circulated among various departments:
He who wins over the madman of Chu wins over the world!
After all, it is a publishing company, and the performance pressure on each department is still very high. Who doesn't want Chu Kuang's new book to be operated by the department he is in charge of
No suspense.
Lu Bei understood everyone's urgency: "Chu Kuang's new book is about science fiction, and Tian Chun, the editor-in-chief of the science fiction department, will be in charge of the contact."
"ah!"
The editor-in-chief of the science fiction department, Tian Chun, suddenly stood up and screamed in surprise, his face turning purple with excitement:
"receive!"
Lu Bei was shocked by Tian Chun's reaction, then he smiled and nodded: "Then you have to work harder, Teacher Chu Kuang is not easy to serve."
"I will definitely worship him as my ancestor!"
Tian Chun patted his chest and made the promise.
The old bear sighed.
Why doesn't Mr. Chu Kuang continue to write fantasy novels
Cao Dezhi also looked disappointed. He had been looking forward to another mystery novel from Teacher Chu Kuang.
Lin Xuan gritted her teeth.
She was seriously considering the possibility of letting her brother go to Chu Kuang to get some fresh air.
soon.
The meeting is over.
Tian Chun ran towards the science fiction department as if his butt was on fire, and his back made all the editors-in-chief envious and jealous.
Two minutes later.
The sci-fi department erupted in huge cheers!
“I won the prize!”
"Chu Kuang has finally visited our science fiction department!"
"Brother said before that Chu Kuang might write a long science fiction novel next. I have been keeping an eye on his blog. He hinted some time ago that the next novel might be set on Mars, and he has already written two short science fiction stories to test the waters. It's time for a long novel!"
"Old thief yyds!"
"The old thief Chu Kuang has come to save us!"
"We finally have hope for this quarter's performance!"
"So what if Qinzhou science fiction is declining? As long as it's written by an old thief, there will be no worries that readers won't buy it!"
"Take off!"
The editors of the science fiction department were as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
The cheers were heard even by the major departments next door.
After learning the specific reasons, all departments could only sigh, especially those departments that had never cooperated with Chu Kuang.
When will Chu Kuang visit us
All major departments of Silver Blue Bookstore are under performance pressure.
As for Chu Kuang, all departments were in an attitude of "seeking favor".
…
After finally calming down.
Tian Chun nervously and apprehensively contacted Jin Mu, the legendary "Chu Kuang agent".
"Hello, I'm Tian Chun, the editor-in-chief of the Science Fiction Department of Silver Blue Library!"
"Hello, Editor-in-Chief Tian. I have sent the manuscript to your company's editor-in-chief."
"I've received it!"
"Then I just happen to have something to ask of you. Teacher Chu Kuang wants to send his new book to Weizhou to participate in the selection of the Galaxy Award."
"Galaxy Award?"
Tian Chun was obviously stunned for a moment: "The Galaxy Award is one of the three top science fiction awards on the Blue Planet. Although it is open to all continents, the organizers are quite closed and rarely give the award to works from other continents."
In fact, it’s not that Wei Zhou favors his own writers.
It is true that the level of science fiction in other continents is so far behind that of Weizhou, so the Galaxy Award gives people the feeling that it is an award for Weizhou people, and few writers from other continents have won the award.
"It's okay, just send it over."
"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 compete for the Galaxy Award?"
"Um."
Tian Chun said: "You also know the situation of the Galaxy Award. The selection criteria are too high. What if Teacher Chu Kuang doesn't get the award?"
“Just don’t advertise it.”
The deputy editor-in-chief smiled and said, “If the outside world doesn’t know, it will naturally not damage Teacher Chu Kuang’s reputation.”
“That’s right.”
Tian Chun became happy again: "It doesn't matter whether readers in Weizhou buy into Mr. Chu Kuang's science fiction works or not. The six continents of Qin, Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, and Zhao will definitely buy into it anyway!"
"Um."
The deputy editor-in-chief smiled again and said, "I have read those two short stories by Teacher Chu Kuang. In fact, in my opinion, perhaps we should have some confidence in Teacher Chu Kuang. His level of science fiction creation is very high, not worse than some of the big-name science fiction writers in Weizhou."
"Of course I understand that."
Tian Chun said: "This is a lack of confidence. The level of science fiction in Weizhou is too high, almost equal to that of Zhongzhou. You are not unaware of the situation of science fiction in Qinzhou, but you have always been lagging behind others and eating dust."
This is caused by inferiority complex.
Tian Chun has been the editor-in-chief of the science fiction department of Qinzhou Silver Blue Library for many years. He has always felt inferior to the current state of Qinzhou's science fiction, always feeling that the science fiction of Weizhou and Zhongzhou is of a high level, although this is indeed the case.
"Let's look at the quality first. The Martian. Tsk tsk."
The deputy editor stared at the title of Chu Kuang's new book with a strong sense of anticipation in his eyes. He also followed Chu Kuang's blog and roughly knew that the content of this novel would focus on survival on Mars. Not to mention Chu Kuang's influence, in fact, this gimmick alone had made him full of expectations.
"Um."
Tian Chun nodded.
If other science fiction writers from Qinzhou wanted to compete for the Galaxy Award, Tian Chun would definitely sneer at them.
And if it was the immortal Chu Kuang who took action, Tian Chun would really dare to ignite a small spark of hope in his heart.
…
As the mainstay of the Silver Blue Library, any novel by Chu Kuang is highly valued in the Silver Blue Library.
From the company leaders to the department editors, everyone will treat it with caution.
As the editor-in-chief of the company, Lu Bei, after finishing his official duties, also made a special trip to the science fiction department before getting off work.
What surprised Lu Bei was:
Not a single person in the science fiction department has left work!
Everyone's eyes were fixed on their computer desktops, sliding the mouse wheel from time to time.
even-
The appearance of editor-in-chief Lu Bei did not attract anyone's attention.
The editors' minds were completely absorbed by a certain work on the computer, as if the work had magical power.
From time to time, someone laughed.
It seems like you saw a plot that made people smile
Lu Bei did not disturb the editors and walked into the editor-in-chief's office quietly.
In the office.
Tian Chun was also reading a book, with a smile on his face that lingered for a long time.
“Does it look good?”
Lu Bei couldn't help but speak out.
Tian Chun was startled, and when he turned around and saw Lu Bei, he quickly stood up and said, "Editor-in-Chief, please sit down!"
"I asked you if it looked good?"
“It’s really exciting!”
When Tian Chun talked about this, his eyebrows suddenly danced with joy: "I didn't expect that Teacher Chu Kuang would find such a tricky angle to write science fiction. This novel is not like "Wandering Blue Planet", which focuses on the entire human race, but puts the perspective on individuals..."
Tian Chun talked incessantly for a long time.
In one word: awesome!
The corners of Lu Bei's mouth curled up slightly: "I heard that Chu Kuang wants to participate in the Galaxy Award, do you think it's appropriate?"
“You must run!”
Tian Chun had looked nervous before, but now he became a pioneer: "This novel is definitely worth reading!"
Editor-in-chief
Perhaps Tian Chun's voice was too loud, the editors outside finally came to their senses and saw Lu Bei in the office.
"Hello everyone."
Lu Bei greeted the editors outside and said, "I think you are all reading The Martian. What do you think of this book?"
"Wonderful!"
“A masterpiece!”
"Teacher Chu Kuang is too strong!"
"If anyone can save Qinzhou Science Fiction, it can only be Teacher Chu Kuang!"
"I am about to cry. I never thought that in my lifetime, I would be able to see the hope of the rise of Qinzhou science fiction!"
“It’s so well written!”
“Whether it’s the proportion of science fiction or the characterization, everything is just right!”
"Science fiction novels often contain a lot of boring content, but this novel is strange in that although it contains a lot of professional knowledge, even readers who are not interested in science fiction will definitely not find it boring!"
Lu Bei smiled.
Chu Kuang never disappoints anyone.
Can he really lead Qinzhou Science Fiction to rise
Maybe I should read this book carefully when I go home tonight.

ps: The updates in the past few days should be pretty good, but unfortunately the skills of the code master are about to enter the CD state. I will call it a day for today and wait for me to recover before returning to the world. By the way, I would like to recommend the novel that Wubai is following, the title of the book is "I". Lao Wang's books are always very exciting.
