Early the next morning, all the editors of Fanxing Novel website and the experts and professors participating in the review gathered together.
They are either seasoned and experienced senior editors, or highly respected professors of literature departments in various interstellar colleges, or experts in the field of ancient earth culture and literature. The weight of each stand out is quite appropriate.
What's more, for this final review recommendation meeting, Brewer, the editor-in-chief of the Fanxing Novel website, attended and presided over the meeting in person, sitting at the top of the meeting room.
He solemnly reviewed a list submitted by the review team in front of him, which listed the review results and authors' names of the top ten ancient earth novels.
Breuer read carefully and intently, and the tip of his pen scratched down from the first article.
Every article from top to bottom did not exceed his expectations.
The work of the great god has been completed. With a stable style and high praise from readers, it has been on the annual list of novel websites for a long time.
These novels are listed, and Brewer has already counted them in his mind.
However, when his gaze suddenly landed on a somewhat unfamiliar novel title, he stopped suddenly, and the tip of his pen stopped there.
He glanced at the author's name, as expected, a newcomer with no memory in his impression. Immediately, Brewer frowned slightly.
""Era of Conquering the Earth [Quick Travel]"?"
As soon as he asked, Zhao Mengsheng, the editor responsible for the daily coordination of these reviews, immediately responded: "Yes, editor-in-chief, after the unanimous approval of the review team, I strongly recommend this newcomer and new book to the list."
Behind the gold-rimmed glasses, Brewer's amber eyes were calm and steady. He has been in the position of editor-in-chief for many years, with rich experience, sharp vision and uniqueness. In the position of newcomer editor alone, he found and signed a lot of newcomer writers who were very popular, so he didn't have much disagreement with the newcomers and old people.
only-
Brewer's eyes deepened, and he thought deeply: "The list is made public, the most important thing is to convince the public. Can this newcomer and new book hold the field?"
No wonder he had doubts.
It’s not that I didn’t want to recommend newcomers and new books in the past, but the selection of the top ten special novels has gilded every novel on the list, which has aroused readers’ harsh review and pickiness.
The works of great masters often have word of mouth and a large fan base, and there are not many disputes.
But once Little Pink's book is on the list, it is easy to cause huge controversy, and even cause a war between the author and the readers, which casts a shadow on the top ten selection events.
Therefore, the website has always been cautious, not daring to take risks easily.
Breuer tapped his finger on the table lightly, and the tip of the pen accurately landed around the name of "Battlemaster", but his mood was gloomy and uncertain.
Just as he was thinking deeply, Professor Mei suddenly stood up and insisted on expressing his opinion impartially and objectively, "This is a rare and good novel."
As the only expert and scholar hired in the field of ancient earth literature, her words are naturally full of weight, making Brewer look at her with sullen eyebrows.
Brewer's contemplation suddenly stopped, and he looked up at all the people sitting in the conference room. Although there was no words in his calm eyes, the silent atmosphere made people feel overwhelmed.
He asked calmly, "Anyone else have any comments?"
No one spoke.
A senior editor sitting at the conference table said: "In terms of writing and conception, it is unconventional and excellent enough. But—"
His words paused, and immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the conference room.
The older editor cautiously raised his question, "Can this article go far?"
He reminded: "This is a newcomer's new article. The number of words is not long, the beginning is beautiful, and the update is vigorous, but how long can this aura and energy last? Will it be unfinished halfway, and it will be broken and left in the pit, disappointing readers? "
He finally concluded: "We chose a good novel, not just a good beginning."
More than 400,000 words in Huaxia may be enough to support the full word count of a novel, but in the interstellar era, such a word count is just the beginning, and it is not even standard enough to be put on the shelves.
Can such a novel with an unusually beautiful beginning really have enough writing power and perseverance to completely conquer the word-of-mouth of all readers from the beginning to the end
As soon as this question was asked, everyone in the conference room fell into silence.
No one dares to guarantee the ticket.
The masterpiece of a master can't guarantee that the book is excellent and the ending is perfect. How can they be confident in a newcomer who has just signed a contract
The room fell into silence for a while, and even Professor Mei, who supported Su Tan at the beginning, regretted that the number of words in "Controlling Hegemony" was too short, and the grand chapter had not been fully unfolded.
She firmly believes that as long as the author is given time, the structure and restoration of the ancient earth world in "Controlling Hegemony" will be far more exciting than she imagined.
Professor Mei said firmly: "Based on this beginning, I am willing to personally write a recommendation for this novel."
As soon as these words were uttered, all the people in the conference room were stunned, and they all looked at Professor Mei in disbelief.
You must know that a solemn and serious expert and professor like Professor Mei has always been sitting high on the altar of the academic world. To be invited to participate in the review of online novels is already a grand attendance and a self-degradation.
And Professor Mei was willing to write a recommendation for an online novel, which surprised everyone even more.
It’s like a university professor writing recommendations for elementary school students—
This is the highest honor.
Needles could be heard in the conference room, and everyone's breathing was tense and excited. They didn't expect this novel to cast Professor Mei's attention in this way.
The editor-in-chief Brewer coughed, and the tip of the pen in his hand lightly landed on the paper on the table, making a soft sound, which caused everyone to look up.
In an instant, Brewer had the whole situation under control.
He said in a low voice and forcefully: "Professor Mei strongly recommends her. I believe in her professional standards."
His gaze was steady and calm, and this sentence obviously gave Professor Mei a great deal of face.
"I also believe in your unanimous judgment."
Breuer clasped his hands together and put them on the table. Under his fingers, he pressed the list of the top ten excellent works on ancient earth after a month of hard work by the judging team.
He raised his eyes to look at everyone, and made a final decision: "In this case, the list of excellent works for this issue is finalized, thank you everyone."
Brewer's modest and caring tone immediately allowed all the editors, experts and professors who had been busy for more than a month to finally breathe a sigh of relief and laugh relaxedly.
The selection this time finally lived up to expectations and produced satisfactory results.
"Editor Zhao, the results of the selection will be released today." Brewer reminded, "Arrange special recommendations on the homepage, put ten outstanding works on the promotional column of the homepage for two weeks, and start intensive publicity."
The editor-in-chief Zhao Mengsheng, who is in charge of the review of this special call for papers, immediately smiled and nodded in agreement. "Okay, I'll get ready now."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, the meeting is adjourned."
An hour later, the page of the home page suddenly changed, and the originally large frame of the ancient earth novel call for contributions bulletin board was suddenly replaced by the ten best ancient earth novels that had just been released.
Immediately, it aroused a huge heated discussion on the author's forum. A few minutes later, the latest post announced the result to the whole world.
"Running around to tell everyone, the results of the selection of ancient earth novels are out!!!"
For a while, countless diving authors were blasted out one after another. After rushing to the homepage to watch, they came back to post to express their feelings.
"The bee is also holding an umbrella: I am happy, my goddess is on the list! Sure enough, the goddess is the best!"
"Snail Crawling: Although I know that I am a little transparent, it is impossible to comment, but the moment I saw that I didn't make the list, I still felt heartbroken/(ㄒoㄒ)/~~"
"Interstellar Jazz: ... a newcomer has made it into the top ten, am I the only one who noticed?"
…
Unexpectedly, as soon as this sentence was uttered, it caused a lot of heated discussions.
"The bee is also holding an umbrella: Laughing and crying, did the upstairs village just connect to the Internet? This newcomer has a very strong momentum, bursting out ten chapters every day, and directly went to the homepage for newcomers."
There were also those who mocked and disbelieved, "No matter how powerful a new book is, it can overwhelm so many old authors and masters? This hype is too much!"
"Don't delay from today: the editor heard that I want to hit someone~ This is a review by the editorial team, I believe in the editor's vision!"
"Zuo Hengheng: The floor lord has spoken my heart! I also feel a little strange, this new book is too heaven-defying, just... just such a book as the best? I think the truth is that the website wants to praise it. The newcomers are making a fuss, and the old writers will be so chilled by this result!"
In an instant, the discussion in the post spread out from the website's continuous training of newcomers in recent years, and directly spread to Fanxingnovel.com.
Everyone thinks that the rise of new recruits on the website must be the focus of the future.
Therefore, facing a new book interspersed with the scenes of the excellent works of many great masters, the emotions in my heart become more and more complicated.
Compared with the writers, the readers' emotions are more intense and direct.
Under the book review section of "Era of Domination of the Earth [Quick Travel]", the biggest upsurge of controversy in history suddenly appeared.
"The Cowboys of the Milky Way: Top 10!!! Our family is big! Proud!"
"Ruan Meng Deep Dolphin: I was moved to tears, you all don't know how much our family worked hard, and finally got something~"
"Night Rose: Great! - Gagan?"
…
Su Tan hastily updated the twenty chapters, and went downstairs happily, wanting to share the good news of winning the award with his father, and by the way, took down the gift of manuscript fees that he had finally accumulated for a full month.
Thanks to the frequent rewards from rich readers like Yan Ba, he has made considerable profits from novels that have just been published for a month and have not yet been released.
Now, of course, I have to prepare gifts for my father and cousin.
Downstairs in the kitchen, the robot Suning is busy developing new dishes in full swing. There is a small and old radio on the open window sill, playing cheerful music through the rough stereo.
The robot Suning happily hummed along.
Unexpectedly, just as it was washing vegetables under the faucet with rubber gloves on, suddenly a big book with hard cover and color pictures jumped into its sight.
Su Ning was taken aback, and turned around, only to see Su Tan handing the gift in front of it with a bright smile, "Abba, I got the first manuscript fee, and I bought a gift for you."
At the moment, the robot Suning was a little stuck. He stared blankly at his smiling son in disbelief, and then moved his gaze to the thick and exquisite book in his hand and a large box on the ground next to him. Inside was a complete set of intelligent kitchen utensils.
In an instant, it was so surprised and moved that it couldn't say anything.
"son!"
Hayden just walked into the kitchen and learned that Su Tan made a lot of money by working part-time, so he bought himself a gift.
Su Tan handed a big thick red envelope to his eldest cousin, and announced with a smile: "In the future, I can support my family too!"
Hayden suddenly smiled.
He smiled and said, "Okay, I will depend on you to support me in the future."
The author has something to say:
Hayden: Little idiot, who the hell is raising whom :)
