After Mu Qingyun finished eating, editor Lu Daganglu of the Historical Research Society came over personally to urge the manuscript.
"You also urge me to write a manuscript?"
Mu Qingyun is simply funny.
Although there are many people who write manuscripts very quickly nowadays, even among this fast group, Mu Qingyun's writing speed is also among the best.
Lu Dagang smiled helplessly.
All I can say is that it was due to the competition with "Xia Ke". I was in a hurry to save the manuscript and had to rush it.
Originally, "Xia Ke" was about martial arts, and their "Joking History" serialized works were all historical works, with only one or two articles in each issue. The audience groups of the two barely overlapped, so there was nothing to compete with, but the problem was In this article "Red Sleeves and the Red Mansion" a hero is described.
The hero's martial arts skills don't seem to be very high. Every time he draws his sword to help when he encounters injustice, he has to fight bloody battles and narrowly escape death.
But this kind of low-level martial arts makes him very friendly, like a person who lives around all ordinary people. He is also truly righteous and will never stand idly by when encountering injustice. He is not an innocent young man. He is a lonely and courageous person who does not change his original intention after suffering many hardships and uses various means to strive for justice. But if all means are used and still does not work, then he will fight tooth and nail.
In the beginning, this was just an inconspicuous character, but as the series was serialized, his popularity grew day by day. He was even more popular than the male protagonist, the noble son Ye Jingqing, who had a lot of ink.
This has attracted a lot of readers who like to read martial arts. These readers are usually readers of the magazine "Xia Ke". Naturally, the two magazines began to be compared together. Many readers began to pick out the more recent works of "Xia Ke". It's getting uglier and uglier. It looks like it was carved out of a template, which is very annoying.
For a while, I made various phone calls and wrote letters to complain.
Editors from the editorial department of "Xia Ke": "..."
Hum.
When the editors got angry, the new work "Snow Knife" by Mr. An Wenyuan, the most famous contemporary martial arts master, just happened to be released, so they simply released it as soon as possible. During the promotion, they insinuated and eliminated "Joking History" and cursed it in a polite way. A meal of "Red Sleeves and the Red Mansion".
Mr. An has had no works for more than three years. As soon as his new work was released, readers cheered and were overjoyed, and sales suddenly jumped up a lot.
Originally, the sales volume of "Joking History" had increased astonishingly recently, from a niche magazine to being on par with several top magazines. Now, "Xia Ke" has been overtaken.
It didn’t matter at first. There have always been a lot of readers of martial arts. Who in the world doesn’t read martial arts now? They were still reading, but when "Xia Ke" caught them and retorted them, they were quite unhappy, so they couldn't help but criticize it. After the supplement, a special issue was added.
Mu Qingyun writes very quickly and saves a lot of manuscripts. Every time she finishes writing, she sends it to the magazine. She has had a very fulfilling winter vacation. For the time being, she didn’t pay much attention to "History of Playing". She just felt that it had been sent to her recently. More and more magazines were delivered, and the two cardboard boxes under the table were already full, but she didn't realize that the consumption of her manuscripts was terrifying.
Now there is only one issue left. The serialization of this issue is over, and the magazine will open its skylight!
Lu Dagang kept mumbling for a long time. Mu Qingyun nodded and pushed the door open with a smile: "I know, but I can't help it."
"ah?"
"Ah, what, how about you give it a try and bury my manuscript in the soil and see if it can grow something fresh for you?"
Mu Qingyun was quite speechless.
Lu Dagang: "..."
He had no choice but to take the train back to the company dejectedly.
Although he sent Editor Lu away, Mu Qingyun still looked through the archived manuscripts that had not yet been sent to him, and then looked at the serialization situation in the magazine. After thinking about it, he couldn't help but laugh.
"Tsk, luckily my identity was not exposed."
If Joking History dares to continue publishing in the next issue, then the forced suspension of serialization will become a nightmare for the entire magazine.
Readers who have been cut off from ecstasy will surely be able to unleash a power comparable to that of later generations of the Internet age, giving those editors a lot of insight.
The next episode of "Red Sleeves and the Red Mansion" is about to reach the climax of the plot.
Mu Qingyun had previously arranged a small hurdle for her heroine. Xia Mian had made a batch of paper armor before. General Su liked it very much, so he purchased a batch for her to send to the camp. She personally escorted them all the way, but she never wanted to In the military camp, half of the 50,000 pieces of paper armor came out of empty boxes.
Xia Mian suddenly fell into a dangerous situation. Not only did he face a large amount of compensation, but more importantly, he was charged with delaying the military plane. Moreover, as soon as the paper armor arrived, the old armor used by General Su had been restrained and sent back to the capital. This armor I dare not keep one more.
Fortunately, General Su trusted General Su, and Xia Mian had a mind that transcended the times. Other soldiers, as well as the escorts, were all thinking about those weird things and were very frightened. Xia Mian did not believe this. She asked all the escorts, and they replied After reviewing the entire operation, it was determined that these paper armors could not be dropped on the road.
They were very careful along the way, and this was not a small amount. If they wanted to transport all the paper armor, they would definitely need a lot of cars. However, the most people and cars they encountered on the road were a family of five pushing a wheelbarrow.
Xia Mian suddenly understood.
And then, um, no more manuscripts.
Mu Qingyun entered the reader's thoughts, and her brain suddenly hurt. If it were her who was cut off like this, she would even take a razor and shave the unfortunate author's hair into a dog-gnawing style.
Although I sympathize with the editor, it is really impossible for her to speed up any more. She has her own rhythm and cannot be disrupted.
Amitabha, good, good, good.
Just as Mu Qingyun expected, Editor-in-Chief Xu thought about it all day and finally sent out the issue of "Sudden Enlightenment".
Then it was announced that the serialization would be suspended and would be continued after three issues.
Readers: “…”
This is a good thing that people can do!
The editorial department was flooded with letters. The editors didn't even dare to read them. They all buried their heads and pretended to be dead. However, the phone line could not be unplugged and they had to answer it. They also had to work, so they could only endure being scolded. He was so scared that he coaxed everyone with a smile and a good voice.
"well!"
As a result, the sales volume of the next issue of the magazine was not as terrible as expected, at least it was much higher than the sales volume of their previous magazine.
It can only be said that there are always readers who do not believe in evil and have a little hope. They think that the editorial department is fooling people by suspending serialization and is not true, so they continue to buy it. Of course, after buying it, the criticism becomes louder and louder.
Mu Qingyun happily watched the excitement, but still lived step by step, writing when he needed to write, skating when he needed to, and did not compress his time to do other things because he was in a hurry for the manuscript.
