My singer girlfriend is super fierce.

The next day, Shi Nuannuan stepped into the "Orange Reading" building with faint dark circles under her eyes.

Yesterday, Ye Zhiqiu sent a manuscript of nearly 500,000 words without any warning, and Shi Nuannuan immediately entered the state to review the manuscript.

This "Legend of Sword and Fairy" has a very different style from the previous fairy-tale series. At first glance, it seems a bit bland, but after careful tasting, it still feels familiar.

——High!

So, she stayed up all night without control.

In the morning, the "Orange Reading" editorial team will hold a short meeting to communicate the latest books, website author dynamics, etc.

"Okay, is there anything else? If not..."

Just as the meeting was about to end, Shi Nuannuan raised her hand: "Editor-in-chief, I have a new book here and I need to review it."

"Oh?" Shi Nuannuan's words aroused a little interest among the crowd, and they all made jokes.

"What S-level potential masterpiece have you come across?"

"Nuannuan, please leave us a way out."

"That's right, my author finally waited for Ye Zhiqiu to finish, and it took another two months for "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" to sit on the top of the overall list when the popularity of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" decreased. He hasn't even sat on the top yet."

After Ye Zhiqiu finished "The Legend of Sword and Fairy Prequel", Shi Nuannuan also started to follow other authors.

Now she is a "senior editor" with independent review authority, and generally does not need to submit to the editor-in-chief for review.

In this case, it is often encountered when there are very excellent works, and the corresponding authors have relatively high salary requirements, and the editor-in-chief will only raise them when he is undecided.

The middle-aged editor-in-chief adjusted his glasses and asked, "Is that 'Langtu' starting a new book?"

"Langtu" is a popular author that Shi Nuannuan is following. The previous book was just finished not long ago. If he is not a new author, he is the only one who deserves Shi Nuannuan to review the manuscript.

"No." Shi Nuannuan said, "It's Ye Zhiqiu's."

After the words fell, everyone in the room was stunned, and then exploded.

"Fuck! Ye Zhiqiu actually started a new book!?"

"I thought he was concentrating on music movies and had no time to write books."

"It's over, it's over, the days of being the first on the list are not long."

The editor-in-chief was also very happy, and hurriedly asked: "What book, what type?"

"Have you sent the outline? Take it and have a look."

"Does he have any special conditions? Agree to him!"

Now Orange Reading Network has reached a consensus that the three words "Ye Zhiqiu" are simply a guarantee of traffic.

God knows, after the completion of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy Prequel", the number of daily active users of the website decreased by 5 percentage points.

According to the size of Orange Reading, this is hundreds of thousands of users! It can only be said that Ye Zhiqiu has pulled many users who were not originally on the website. Now he does not update, and the website cannot attract these readers to stay.

"There is no outline." Shi Nuannuan shook her head and said, "He sent half of the manuscript directly, which is about 500,000 words."

This sentence made the editor-in-chief even more happy.

He actually wrote so many words, that's even better! There is no problem with publishing.

However, Shi Nuannuan's next sentence stunned him.

"By the way, this book is a martial arts type."

"Ah?" Everyone in the room thought they had heard it wrong. After confirming it again and again, they all looked at each other in surprise.

What kind of reverse operation is this?

Others all imitated the "Xianxia style", but the founder went back to write "Martial Arts"?

Shi Nuannuan didn't know how to explain it. He took out a few manuscripts prepared in advance and said, "Everyone, take a look."

Everyone took it quickly, and the meeting room fell into silence.

Occasionally someone burst out a "good poem", and the rest was only the sound of paper turning pages.

Shi Nuannuan did not print out the entire first half of the volume, and it was not necessary to read such a long length for the manuscript review. The general style, quality and other information of a book can generally be seen in three to five chapters, and sometimes even in one chapter.

Half an hour later, everyone put down their manuscripts one after another, with different expressions on their faces.

"This book..." The editor-in-chief smacked his lips and said, "It's of a very high level."

"The writing is profound, the description and portrayal of the characters are very vivid, and there are several poems in it that should be his original works, which are so wonderful."

"The book is a good book, but..." the editor-in-chief said, "From the perspective of online literature, it may not be popular."

The other screenwriters nodded in agreement. Everyone who can do this business is a little cultured, at least they are literature lovers, and they still have a certain level of appreciation, so they can naturally see the excellence of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

But for the majority of online literature readers, the opening plot of this book seems a bit "bland".

Now is the era of "fast food culture". Many readers pursue a "short, flat and fast" feeling when reading novels, and rarely have the patience to calm down and read carefully.taste.

Although it may lead to the situation of "the book is good, but the results are not good", this is the choice of the market, so they are not very optimistic about the work "Legend of Sword and Fairy".

It's not that it won't be popular, but it's not easy to achieve the results of Ye Zhiqiu's previous works that were popular all over the Internet.

Shi Nuannuan naturally understood the editor-in-chief's meaning and said, "By the way, he doesn't plan to serialize this book, but to publish it directly."

The editor-in-chief thought about this proposal and made a decision quickly.

"No problem, this is also good."

"This book is indeed more suitable for physical publishing."

......

The publication of "Legend of the Condor Heroes" was quickly put into process.

Since Ye Zhiqiu is a "million-selling" author, he still has some special treatment.

In addition, in the previous works, the cooperation with Orange Reading and the publishing house is also very familiar, so the time required for the entire publication can be greatly shortened.

During the phone call, Shi Nuannuan also explained to Ye Zhiqiu the editor-in-chief's views on this book.

In response, Ye Zhiqiu just smiled faintly.

He admitted that this book had a rather bland start compared to current online literature.

But as to whether it might be a hit... he held a different view.

This is one of Mr. Jin's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" trilogy! In the previous life, it was repeatedly remade over the past 40 years, and 7 versions of the TV series were born.

Audiences of each era have corresponding preferences. Most works will be gradually forgotten over time, but some classics will never be erased.

This work is also an important part of Ye Zhiqiu Studio's film and television plan after the "Sword of Immortal" series - the "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" series.

"Flying snow and shooting white deer, laughing book and hero leaning on green mandarin duck", without "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", where would "The Return of the Condor Heroes" and "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" come from.

He has even prepared for Xiaolongnu, and is now honing his acting skills at the Beijing Film Academy.

He just needs to think about what role he will play.

In fact, when he first watched this drama, he put himself in the shoes of "Xu Zhu"...
