Chapter 359 Bus
One of the most important abilities of an editor is to press for manuscripts. If this matter is not done well, she is ready to be criticized.
Who knew that just after her name was called, Susan received the message.
This editor is very lucky.
"Nine times out of ten, it's Jiang Yang."
The editor teacher of Shixi is determined. There are not many authors in charge of Susan, and most of them are old authors. The schedule is very stable. It can only be the one who is in the limelight so suddenly.
"Tsk tsk."
The editor who was going to be sprayed was a little envious, "Boss is really hugging a sweet potato."
Jiang Yang's books are bestsellers, bringing great economic benefits to the publishing house.
In addition, it makes the work of copyright editors of their publishing houses much easier. The important work content of copyright editors is to establish and maintain good cooperative relations with foreign publishing houses, book companies, authors, and copyright agencies.
Now their publishing house is also one of the companies maintained by those companies.
When the publishing editors contacted each other before, they would answer the phone. After self-declaring their identity, they would always come to "Yikeke Youzimi" and ask again what publishing house. Calling now, the opposite is "Ah, the Little Prince Publishing House".
This is called status.
The editor teacher of Shixi told the editor not to be envious, "Hurry up and press the manuscript, otherwise you will not escape today, and you will not escape tomorrow."
The editor was helpless, she stood up: "I'm going to block his door."
The editor teacher brought Shi Xi back to work.
Shi Xi is still an intern editor, mainly learning some basic things from the teacher. Just as she was busy with the work at hand and didn't know how long the time had passed, Shi Xi saw the boss come back. The boss looked around in the editing room and greeted Shixi's editor teacher. The teacher came back after a while and gave Shixi a job: to proofread Teacher Jiang Yang's new book.
"ah."
Stony Brook was surprised.
Can she, a trainee editor, still receive such an important job?
Of course Shixi knows about Jiang Yang, one of the most popular authors, and one of the most popular authors of their publishing house recently.
As a soon-to-be editor, whether he likes it or not, Shi Xi has read all of Jiang Yang's works.
She likes Jiang Yang's "The Little Prince" the most.
From a professional point of view, this book has the potential to become a bestseller. A bestseller is not a bestseller. A bestseller is ten years old, twenty years old, thirty years old, and the book is still selling well. Now, though, it looks like the book has the potential to be a bestseller and bestseller. It can be seen from this that the editor was not joking when he said that Boss Su had unearthed a sweet pastry.
From a personal point of view, besides "The Little Prince", Shi Xi likes his "Jieyou Grocery Store" the most. It is quite healing to read, and then the setting of the mailbox through time and space is quite amazing.
As for the rest of the books, she also thinks they are good.
It may not affect her to a great extent, but after reading it, she must be touched.
In order to enter the publishing house as an intern, she was born in a small county and studied Jiang Yang, so that she used Jiang as an example many times during the interview, and the author Jiang Yang is indeed an author who challenges the editor .
Because his books sometimes go up in the sky and sometimes go underground. Yesterday he was a fairy tale, today he reasoned, and tomorrow he went to love. One day he wrote horror novels, and another day he wrote science fiction. It is not surprising for Shi Xi.
This leads to editors having to dabble in these types of novels. Otherwise, in the whole science fiction of Jiang Yang, there will be many hard-core words popping up, and the editor will be confused and don't understand anything. This is how to do?
Now.
An author who is so naive and challenging, why did she let her do the proofreading?
The teacher thought that Shi Xi felt that the task was difficult, so he patted her on the shoulder, "Everyone has work at hand, you just need to do some basic proofreading. This is a good thing, you are the first group to see Teacher Jiang Yang The man of the novel."
"Okay, okay."
Shi Xi nodded and agreed, and even felt honored to be connected with the idol
But compared to being honored, to be honest, she was a little nervous.
It's like accepting such a big project just after an internship, and she is under a lot of pressure.
She took the manuscript, sat on the desk, and took a deep breath.
She said during the interview that to be the editor of Mr. Jiang Yang, she must be prepared to open the blind box.
She adjusted her status and opened the manuscript.
Then-
Shixi knows why he asked himself to proofread. The punctuation and the "place" are not distinguished, and there are unexpected typos. This is really a basic proofreading work that cannot be more basic. No, this draft is too urgent, why does it look like a draft.
Shixi wants to cry, Mr. Jiang Yang, the filter is broken.
She used to think that the boss was very lucky to find such a quality and best-selling author like Jiang Yang. She is now apologizing for her previous thoughts. The boss can dig out such an author, who is really cowhide and admirable.
Because of such a manuscript, some editors are likely to kill it at the beginning.
besides-
Shi Xi finally knew why he stood out from a group of outstanding interns and was hired by the boss. Because what she said during the interview was true, Jiang Yang's book is to open a blind box, and now she has opened a novel with a realistic theme.
A teacher is about to die. He looks out the window and thinks back, describing the poverty of the village, the palm-sized fields, and the oil money for the farm machinery. The student’s father almost killed his son; The lunatic who set fire to the house; the village built a temple and demolished the school building, broke the teacher's ribs, and then the teacher was diagnosed with esophageal cancer, which could have been cured in the early stage, but he had no money...
Depressed! heavy!
Although the writing is not as painful as Ling Chi written by a serious novelist, as a student from the countryside, Shi Xi can easily empathize with these heaviness. As a classmate of hers, her mother also has mental problems. She forgot why, once she went to a classmate's house to look for her, and then in the low and dark room, she saw her mother on the bed.
She will never forget the weird smile on her classmate's mother's face in the poorly lit room.
This female classmate also married early.
She doesn't do well in her studies.
In many stories, children from poor families often study hard and have good academic performance. There are, but there must be a pair, at least one parent who knows the importance of knowledge, otherwise the child needs great wisdom to get out of it. Because of the subtle influence of the environment, people can easily become numb and habitual, and learning slowly is not in the plan at all.
Everything changes under a blunt knife.
Shi Xi was able to walk out of the village because she had parents who knew how to study well and earn money.
Of course, the teacher is also very important.
She really learned well from the sixth grade. At that time, the village school changed a couple of teachers to teach the main subject of the sixth grade. The man taught Chinese and the woman taught mathematics. The husband and wife played TV for them after studying and talked about ideals. Such empty ideals are not about buying two bowls of soy milk after earning money and drinking one bowl after another. It is about telling them the beauty of the outside world.
For example, waiting for the bus at the bus stop, where do you want to go after buying a ticket, want to buy a book to buy a book, want to watch a movie, want to go to the park, go to the park—
Shi Xi thought it was so convenient.
