Yu Yao is the editor-in-chief of "Moonlight". "Moonlight" magazine has just been published for less than half a year. The lineup of authors and artists is not stable. There are tens of thousands of things waiting for Yu Yao to deal with every day, so she must not be like Lao Miao was so free, she took over the second school of "Luohe Divine Book", and it was Zhou Chuan who spoke in person, so she had no choice but to take over.
So compared to Lao Miao, Yu Yao needed more time to go to the second school, so after the matter was finalized, she made an appointment with Chu Li that the first school should end when she got off work on Wednesday, and she would finish it on Thursday. When I went to work in the morning and came to my seat, I saw a printed copy with school marks.
Chu Li didn't even want to agree directly: because she pleaded with Yu Yao on Friday night, that's what she promised, there was nothing wrong with it.
On Saturday night, it was announced that he would be the editor in charge of "Luohe Divine Book". Lao Miao disappeared without a trace throughout the weekend. In the conference room, I caught Yu Yao who was ordering and sorting out the materials.
So the two sat down to talk.
Facing Lao Miao's suppressed anger for a day, Yu Yao actually didn't know what to say, because she didn't know how Lao Miao had offended Zhou Chuan—
It could be a sentence.
It could also be an emoji.
After all, people like Lao Miao...
"I don't know why you are so obsessed with "Luohe Divine Book"."
"You really don't know?" Lao Miao sneered, "That's Hiukawa—do you think that only authors need masterpieces? Where did those gold medal editors come from? Right now, the best opportunity is right in front of my eyes, but you still keep it alive." Robbed!"
Yu Yao was silent for a while.
"Old Miao, I told you a long time ago that Hiukawa is different from those authors you bring... I also reminded you before, be careful of those who become famous at a young age, they are generally difficult to deal with." In the office, Yu Yao sat on a chair and looked at Lao Miao—she had a plump figure, a fleshy face, round eyes and short hair, and she looked very shrewd. When she looked at people seriously, she always had an intriguing taste. Ao Gu, do you really think that these things can only be used to describe Lu Xun?"
Lao Miao lowered her head with a look of irritability: A literati with pride? Not to mention whether it can be used to describe Zhou Chuan, but when it comes to "arrogance", this person is probably the number one among contemporary young writers, right?
He was so arrogant that he almost reached the sky, this day Chuan.
Lao Miao: "Then why did you hand over this book to a rookie editor who doesn't know anything? It's already baffling enough that you recruited her in, and we already have enough people here..."
Yu Yao: "As I said, she has enthusiasm."
Lao Miao showed a mocking and disdainful expression: "Enthusiasm! Who are you fooling? You, what enthusiasm do you need to do this business? Selecting books, making books, selling books, and whether they are selling well are not the author's own strength and popularity—the editor's enthusiasm , can it be eaten as a meal?"
"Yes," Yu Yao wrote lightly, "Did you ruin your job just by talking and laughing without blinking an eye?"
"..."
The conversation between the two finally had to be terminated when the first ceremony came in with two cups of brewed tea, and then the weekly regular meeting—
At the regular meeting, Lao Miao and Xiaoniao had a mother-faced look throughout the first half, especially when Yu Yao once again emphasized that Chu Li would be in charge of editing the "Luohe Divine Book" and emphasized the importance of this book, the expressions on Lao Miao and Xiaoniao's faces Very synchronous...Yu Yao asked her to complete the proofreading work within three days of the first ceremony, and during this period, the "frontispiece project" could temporarily come to an end. It is enough for now to add the ghost that I found at the first ceremony."
This means that Xiaoniao found three authors, but she only found one? Chu Li was surprised when he heard the words: "Hey, editor-in-chief, I can actually..."
Yu Yao glanced at her: "Let's do this for the time being. Given you so many days, you only found this one person. What kind of miracle will happen if you waste a few more days? There's no need to force yourself to do everything."
Yu Yao's words successfully saved Xiaoniao and Lao Miao's dark faces, especially when Yu Yao handed over the editing of "Hua Li" to Xiaoniao, she showed that kind of expression on her face. sweet smile.
First ceremony: "..."
Chu Li didn't know why she was given a meal out of nowhere. She only knew that at the end of the meeting, the atmosphere in the entire conference hall was filled with a kind of "I'm not happy but you can't please me." You have benefits and I get them Not bad" in the harmonious and beautiful atmosphere... quite a bowl of water.
... ... ... God damn a bowl of water is level.
…
After the regular meeting on Monday, Chuli started working hard with a thick A3 photocopied booklet and a red fountain pen—
Proofreading a novel with 400,000 words or 500,000 words in three days requires speed and quality... This is actually quite terrible, and it is absolutely foolish to expect it to be completed during normal working hours from morning to 5:30 in the afternoon!
So Chu Li moved without daring to delay for a second.
From the first page—
"Luohe Divine Book" is about a brat who likes to wear white clothes while fishing for pearls by the sea. He accidentally picks up a magical book. The name of the book is "Luohe Divine Book". The book is like the "Shan Hai Jing", which records the birds and beasts that dominated this yellow land long, long ago before humans—the bear child accidentally summoned a strange-shaped beast from the book with his own blood, and the beast followed The bear child grows up, and uses other little monsters in the book for the bear child, and joins the army to serve the motherland to pacify foreign enemies. One day, the child will become a great hero in white, and the beast will also turn into a handsome general, and tell the bear child: Dumbfounded Well, there are at least nine other creatures like me in this world.
The bear boy was quite shocked, and since then he was opened the door to a new world—
He used to fight people in wars, but since the beast turned into a human and told him the truth that there are too many magical things in the world, his main goal of fighting has changed from fighting people to killing monsters.
…
The book is pretty good.
First ceremony, watching and proofreading—
When eating, hold the chopsticks in one hand and turn the page with the other hand;
Dozing off little by little while holding his lap on his lap while looking at his head during the break;
Wait for the water to boil when making milk in the tea room;
I was also watching while standing outside the toilet door waiting for the pit;
Put it in your cloth pocket after get off work and go home to continue watching...
When I'm sleeping, I can't wait to sleepwalk and get up to watch the waves and find a few typos.
For a moment, the proofreading book turned into a Chuli baby, and was taken to the world, eating and sleeping, wishing to wrap it in plastic wrap while taking a bath, and hurry up to read two more lines—fortunately, Chuli belongs to Hiukawa Wen's fan, if she doesn't like this article, she probably can't help but jump off the building until Tuesday morning...
But with the passage of time, Chu Li found that the current "boring" and "time urgency" are not the most serious problems. The most serious problem is that during the proofreading period, occasionally ambiguous sentences or problems that cannot be solved should be asked. What happened to Chuan himself, and the other party's reaction made Chu Li confirm his previous guess——
Hiukawa really belongs to the "casual" party of the most bastard bastards in the author group... Chu Li: "Teacher, let me ask, your protagonists fight monsters in order. The boss is a strange bird, and the second is a monster." It’s a tortoise, the third child is a white tiger, and the fourth child is a dragon...how come at the end of the article, when the third child is mentioned suddenly, the third child becomes a nine-color deer? Is it a white tiger or a nine-color deer?”
Hiukawa: "Whatever, if there is a lot of trouble to change the description, just keep the one and change it to another place."
First ceremony: "..."
Hiukawa: "Wise, aren't you?"
Chu Li: "..." Chu Li: "Teacher, didn't you say that the hero died of a serious illness? Why did it appear again later!"
Hiukawa: "Can't you just delete the sentence that said his mother died?"
Chu Li: "..." Chu Li: "Teacher, it's still the same problem. Earlier you spent about 3,000 characters writing about the fourth and eighth children fighting in the nest among the ten transformed beasts... I won't say whether the prototype is clear or not. The male lead is transmigrating, why is it that the fourth child of the divine beast beat the eighth child of the divine beast to death, but people later spread word of mouth that it was the eighth child of the divine beast who beat the fourth child to death..."
Hiukawa: "You can find a place in it and add a sentence 'The protagonist thinks: These people can't tell right from wrong, they actually turned the facts upside down, obviously it was the fourth child of the beast who beat the eighth child to death, why are they so ignorant!'"
Chu Li: "... Where should I add it?"
Hiukawa: "Whatever you want." Chu Li: "Teacher, you said earlier that the protagonist is very vigilant and the house is sealed except for the door. Why does he lose sleep in the middle of the night and look at the moon by the window in the next chapter?"
Hiukawa: "You can notice such details."
Chu Li: "...I am a professional proofreader."
Hiukawa: "But readers are not."
Chu Li: "..." Chu Li: "Teacher, do you know that 'De' in the three characters 'De Di De' expresses more degree, and 'Speak Well' is not 'Say Di (emphasis on the fourth tone) good'."
Hiukawa: "??? Are you doubting my literary accomplishment?"
Chuli: "... dare not, I was wrong." (While talking, he drew a circle on the word "地" with a red pen, and wrote "de" with the correction symbol) Chuli: "Teacher , The word 'groundless rumor', the high school teacher marked the key point of the college entrance examination and said that it is to describe the spread of things, there must be a cause, not 'fabricated out of thin air'."
Hiukawa: "Screenshot of Baidu Encyclopedia". "
Screenshot of the book: "The wind comes from the hole", an idiom, the original meaning is that only when there is a cave can the wind come in (from Song Yu's "Feng Fu"). It is a metaphor that news and legends are not completely unfounded, and now it is often used to refer to news and legends. ("Modern Chinese Dictionary" 6th Edition 2012, p. 742, 517th printing in January 2015)
Hiukawa: "When did you go to high school?"
First ceremony: "... ... ..."
Chu Li: "I'm not keeping up with the times, I'm sorry."
…
Above, so and so.
When the proofreading was 50% completed the next day, Chu Li felt that as a fan of Zhou Chuan's books, he was going blind—according to the author's state of freeing himself, he could climb all the way to today's height in the "writer" industry , really riding a horse is...
There is a noble person in the fate, and the patriarch will reward the meal.
... I don't know in which temple the high incense is burned.
