""Dear Vixen"? What kind of novel is this? I want to learn Liaozhai but I haven't learned it well. How can this thing be included in our novel selection?"

It would be great if I could really be here, but does this fool really not know, or is he pretending not to know.

In a panic, Tu Meilun took the printed list out of her bag and said, "Boss, I worked on this all night, otherwise I wouldn't be late, and I almost died suddenly."

""Village Teacher", the name is good, but why is it a science fiction novel?" Cheng Litao muttered to himself, while crossing out the name with a pen, "Although young people are energetic, they still need to practice and settle down, whatever Genre novels are recommended to it, which is not necessary. What meaning can be written in science fiction novels, fight and kill, and discuss meanings that no one understands? It is better to develop it for another two years. "

After Lin Han was busy cleaning the kitchen utensils, he saw Chen Jiaxuan with reddish cheeks. He couldn't help but said: "Sister Xuan, you look a little tired. Why don't you go back and take a shower and go to bed? Have a good sleep." Say it again."

The original English version has not been modified much, only the background needs to be changed. The real difficulty lies in the Chinese version. Lin Han wants to add some of his own thinking into it, and not just follow the mechanical translation word for word. This approach Naturally, it consumes brain cells.

Cheng Litao, who returned to the editor-in-chief's office, didn't find anything picky. He picked up the book list Tu Meilun put on top and read it.

This threat was harmless to Lin Han. He shrugged his shoulders and said proudly: "Only if you wake up. Good night."

The professional selection of "Selected Novels" provides samples for literary research and discovers new works for the literary world. It is the most influential and authoritative literary anthology in the country. It has been regarded as a trend vane and condensed literature in the literary world, and even has The title is "Novel National Journal".

"How do you write a recommendation for a manuscript? It's life-threatening." Tu Meilun deleted all the words he had just typed, then played with his hair with one hand and turned pages aimlessly with the other hand, drinking the coffee next to him. I ordered two cups and had to take them out as soon as possible.

Tu Meilun knows that science fiction literature and Internet literature are now treated similarly. They are both discriminated against by mainstream literature. It is not easy to stand out. This is a hotbed of traditional mainstream literature.

It represents the highest achievement of contemporary Chinese novel creation, including more than 80% of the award-winning works of the Contradiction Literature Award, and has received unanimous praise from both inside and outside the literary world.

"He's talking nonsense, the boss is the best!"

Therefore, whether they are well-known literary figures or talented rising stars, they are very welcome to have their works reprinted in "Selected Novels".

These selected works should not only reflect literary concepts, but also include literary judgments. However, science fiction has never been recognized by mainstream literature. Let alone traditional literary writers, even martial arts and fantasy literature are treated better than science fiction. Much stronger.

The circulation of a single literary journal is very limited. It is unfair to the author to bury a work here without paying a small amount of royalties.

If a science fiction novel can be published in "Selected Novels" in a year, it will be a shock to the science fiction literary world, because they have been eating duck eggs for a long time and almost never appeared in the previous few years.

""A Game of Chess in the Army" is about the complicated life and human nature in the military camp. This idea is not bad. If the narrative ability is good, it can be retained."

Tu Meilun knew that science fiction novels were prone to prejudice, so he racked his brains to think about his suggestions for manuscript recommendation, ""Selected Novels" is responsible for cultivating new literary talents. In the past 56 novellas, there were only 7 new ones, and the proportion of newcomers was Slightly lower, the author of this article, Lin Han, is a newcomer in the novel world."

Cheng Litao looked at his old friend's daughter. He couldn't bear to scold the girl he had watched grow up, so he could only accept the suggestions from here, and then said angrily: "Okay, okay, hurry up and go to work. At noon Take the time to get some sleep, lest your dad say I didn't take care of you."

At the same time, Tu Meilun, the young editor of "Selected Novels", was holding a copy of "Science Fiction World" and reading non-stop. She was the person in charge of recommending it who had contacted Chen Jiaxuan.

The "Selected Novels" sponsored by the Chinese Writers Association has an undoubted status in mainstream literature. The publication words and the title of the magazine are all handwritten by the famous master Xiang Bi, and it has a very rich history.

After Lin Han took a deep breath, he continued to go back to the computer to write a novel. This was originally an English version of the book, and the Three Laws of Robots cannot just be limited to domestic use. If it can be spread internationally, then it will achieve greater success. Impact.

Tu Meilun blinked, quickly returned to his desk, and then ate breakfast secretly like a little hamster, waiting for the final review results.

For the author, it is natural to hope that the work can be reprinted more so that more readers can see it. At the same time, the author also needs to expand the scope of communication, and also needs the income from reprinting.

"Xiao Tu, what's wrong with you? How many times are you late this month? Also, have you finished the ten novels you selected? Hurry up and hand in the list. I will review it as soon as possible."

The sweater outlined her graceful figure. Chen Jiaxuan stood up unsteadily from the sofa. She carried her bag and walked to the door in high heels. "You should also go to bed early. Don't stay up late writing or reading novels. If I were If I wake up in the middle of the night and find that your lights are not turned off, I will turn off the electric switch outside for you."

If a writer's work is not reprinted, its radiation surface will be very small, and its influence will not spread. Unless it is published in a large journal, not many people will read it, and it will be as if it has not been published.

In this way, the names of the novels were crossed out one after another, leaving only a few novels with good concepts and good storylines. The rest of the novels were eliminated before even a closer look.

For ordinary writers at the provincial and municipal levels, the platform of novel anthology is really important. The anthology of novels can overlook the whole country, while ordinary authors can only appear in local newspapers or magazines.

Standing at the door and looking at Chen Jiaxuan on the other side of the corridor, he followed the one-meter-wide corridor to open the door. The two looked at each other and smiled before slowly closing the door.

"It tells the story of father and son. The abandoned child looks for his father. If you want to patiently explore the meaning, you can watch "Volcano"."

"Selected Novels" generally publishes novels of the year, selecting valuable and meaningful novels from one to two hundred literary journals. On average, each person reads about 150 novels, no less than 2 million words.

The next day, Tu Meilun, who was too busy, was almost late for work. When she rushed to the editorial office with breakfast, the entire morning meeting had already come to an end.

Everyone gets drunk without being drunk. Pineapple beer, which can be called a beverage, made Chen Jiaxuan a little tipsy. She could even drink a few taels of liquor without changing her expression on weekdays, but now she just stayed on the sofa and didn't want to get up and leave. .

After reading so many books, these editors select 10 works for review. Finally, the editor-in-chief and cross-reviewers select the novels to be published in the next issue.
