The whole entertainment circle thinks I'm confused

Chapter 585 Scholastic
The original manuscript of "Twilight 1" was sent to Scholastic Publishing House seven days ago, but as the largest teaching and supplementary publishing house in the beautiful country, hundreds of manuscripts of novels and teaching supplementary materials are sent in every day.

The novel "Twilight·1" was only scheduled for review three days ago, which is already under the speed of the "green channel".

For ordinary manuscript delivery, the reply time is at least half a month to three months.

……

R and the world of literature and art, novels also have a lot of attention on a global scale, and compared to the blossoming of the Internet in the world of L literature and art, a larger part of this world is still at the level of paper books, magazines and newspapers.

Publishing paper novels is still the most mainstream channel, but in this world, the circulation speed, or in other words, the influence of paper novels is far greater than that of the L-level literary world.

Susan Miller is one of the editors-in-chief of Scholastic Press and the editor-in-chief of the Entertainment Editorial Department and Fiction Department.

She opened the manuscript of this novel called "Twilight 1" under the strong recommendation from the editor below just the day before yesterday.As the editor-in-chief, she also needs to review a large number of reviews, select high-quality ones from them, and make decisions.

But the name of this novel made her stunned, followed by the author of this novel, Stephanie Xia.

"A new writer? Why haven't I heard of it?"

The main reason is that on the manuscript of this novel, there is a label of "green channel", which means, even if it is not recommended by someone under his hand.This novel will also appear on her desk in the afternoon according to the procedure.

In addition, there is a "green channel" label, which needs to be reviewed anyway.

And the red eyes of the editor under her hand, and a compliment, made her a little interested.

However, only a little.

As one of the largest teaching and auxiliary publishing houses in the beautiful country, and the editor-in-chief of the fiction department, Susan Miller has read too many novels.

She has worked in the industry for more than ten years, and there are not a few novels that have been approved by her for publication, and finally became popular all over the world.

Among them, Susan Miller's favorites are science fiction and fantasy themes, because these two themes are so attractive.

Science fiction is unconstrained, giving all science fiction fans more imagination for future time and space.

Magical novels are enough. Fans of novels have infinite reverie about the magical world-mysterious witches, ancient magic kingdoms, the world view of dragons that merged the medieval world with the magical world, and so on.All novel fans are fascinated.

But in the past two years, as more and more novels have been published, most of the elements have been used indiscriminately!

As a result, these two types of novels have gradually entered a barrier area, or in other words, a bottleneck period——

Susan Miller is tired of reading the novel submissions sent to the Scholastic Fiction Department in the past two years.

These two subjects have been written badly.

And most of the works, even those sent by the "green channel", have attractive names and opening chapters, but read on.

Just again, "potato po-tah-to."

(Change the soup but not the medicine.)
Most of the works, with her, will be passed, unless you are willing to pay for publishing, pay for and promote.

So in the past two years, Susan Miller has shifted her attention to some other types.For sci-fi and fantasy works that are not "green channels", they are basically subject to joint review by the editorial staff below.

She will only read it after passing all the joint audits.

But the appearance of "Twilight·1" really made Susan Miller's eyes shine.Her daily workload is fixed.Not just one book needs to be read, especially the "green channel" book review must be within seven days.

Therefore, Susan Miller was working painfully while trying her best to endure, and finally spent three days, staying up late in the middle.I was attracted by "Twilight·1" for a while, and almost stayed up all night for two consecutive days!

And the last time I was so obsessed with a novel was the "Deep Sea Dream Series", which was started three years ago and has not yet ended.

The first book in this series, after a few weeks of fermentation, jumped onto the best-selling list in the beautiful country, and it has been on the list for 49 weeks, of which it topped the list for four weeks.And "Deep Sea Dream Series" has undoubtedly become the best-selling champion of the year!

The popularity of "Deep Sea 1" also made "Deep Sea 2" get better results when it was published in the second half of that year.

The publication directly reached the top of the best-selling list, and it was also the publication of "Deep Sea 2". In the last seven weeks from November to December of that year, "Deep Sea 2" dominated the list, which caused "Deep Sea 1" to fail to top the list.

The publication of "Deep Sea·2" has been on the best-selling list for 54 weeks, of which a total of [-] weeks have taken the top spot in the best-selling list!

But the best-selling of "Deep Sea 2" was defeated after all. It was not other books that defeated it, but "Deep Sea 3".

"Deep Sea 3" was first printed with 100 million copies, and the sales volume directly exceeded [-] copies on the first day of its release.

It was on the best-selling list of Pretty Country for 56 weeks, beating the best-selling record of "Deep Sea 2", among which it was at the top of the best-selling list for [-] weeks!

As for "Deep Sea 4", there is no news yet. Susan Miller contacted the author, and it is said that it is already in preparation.

And it was after "Deep Sea 3" that Susan Miller never came across a novel that could make her sleepless nights.

When seeing "Twilight", Susan Miller thought of several elements——

Werewolves, witches, black mages, vampires.

Werewolves, this is an element that has arisen in the past two years because of "Secrets of Werewolves". In the past two years, there have been a few books about werewolves with relatively novel themes, but—to be honest, it cannot surpass the beautiful drama "Secrets of Werewolves", and it is not There are few reference elements.

Susan Miller frowned when she realized that this was a book about vampires.

The story of vampires has long been old-fashioned, and it was written badly a few years or even ten years ago.

But when she frowned and opened the novel, slowly, she found that her evaluation was too early.

Due to the novel, there is indeed a charm that makes her read involuntarily—a 17-year-old mixed-race female high school student with albinism meets Edward Cullen, who is strong, handsome and charming, with an angelic face, and a girly girl, From the perspective of the first love, the story about the vampire revealed?A magical love story?
This opened up Susan Miller's curiosity -- "love + magic + handsome vampire?"

"My God, this author named Stephanie Xia is simply a genius!"

"Why didn't I think of it? Who said that a fantasy-themed novel must be about a hero? Heroism? Why can't it be about love? Can't it be a girl's magical journey? A girl's magical journey, why? Can it only be a witch?"

It has to be said that in every woman's heart there is a girl's heart who "saves the beauty" and "sacrifices herself for the hero".
