Chapter 413 The Bet
"What's wrong?"
The little white-faced colleague has been observing Mr. Orange, and seeing that he was quite carefree, suddenly his face became tangled.
Curious, he got up and came over to take a look, and after glancing at the screen, "Hey, there are so many typos!"
As an editor, no matter Mr. Chengzi or his colleagues, the first job they do is proofreading.
For editors, this is the most basic job, and it is also the most painful job. Sometimes there are typos and money is deducted. Therefore, many editors hate typos, not to mention they hate them, and they will also cause psychological discomfort after seeing them. .
This is why submissions should reduce typos.
Because many editors know that typos in the submission do not necessarily affect the quality of the article, but they will have resistance involuntarily, and their impression points will directly pull their hips. If the writing is not good, the manuscript will be directly rejected.
But other people's typos were unintentional.
The typo in this manuscript——
The little white-faced colleagues highlighted the four words in the black title, "closely complained", and felt that they were mocking their editors.
This is absolutely intentional.
"Master, this is really Mr. Jiang Yang's manuscript—"
The little boy-faced colleague was half-talking, but Mr. Orange interrupted, "Shut up, go back, go back to your seat."
Mr. Cheng pushes his handsome colleague.
He suddenly felt that these typos were very useful.
The little boy-faced colleague looked at Mr. Chengzi's appearance, and he saw it again.
He sat back in his seat in admiration. The teacher is the teacher. If you look at ten lines, you can read with relish the articles with several typos.
The office fell silent.
There is only the sound of Mr. Orange sliding the mouse, and occasionally the sound of him eating an orange.
The little white-faced colleague knows the habits of Mr. Orange. When he sees something exciting, he will eat oranges. The oranges are cold and sweet, just like watching a wonderful science fiction novel. Sometimes it makes people feel warm. But a chill in my heart.
After almost three hours, Mr. Orange finished reading.
He leaned back in the chair and let out a long breath, with mixed feelings in his heart.
Mr. Orange likes hard science fiction, this novel is not.
But I have to say that this novel is so good that even if it is not very sci-fi, he likes it.
It has a lot to think about.
The little boy-faced colleague has been observing Mr. Orange.
Seeing that Mr. Cheng had finished reading, he leaned forward and asked, "Master, how is Teacher Jiang Yang's masterpiece?"
The last time Mr. Cheng reviewed "Country Teacher", he had no chance to read it.
The manuscript was reviewed by another publishing house.
The little white-faced colleague really wants to know what level of science fiction Mr. Jiang Yang is writing.
How should I put it, he was looking forward to the poor writing.
Everyone is a little boy, and marrying the big devil is almost enough.
Now if you write science fiction, it’s not a question of jealousy or not, it’s a betrayal!
A naked betrayal of their little boys!
Mr. Orange shook his head, "How should I put it, this is not a science fiction novel."
The little boy-faced colleague understands.
"There are many typos!"
He took the opportunity to add insult to injury, thereby condemning the traitor.
Mr. Orange shook his head: "But it is definitely a very good novel."
The only sci-fi feature in this novel is an operation.
There is no scientific theory to support this operation, and with the help of this setting, a story about human nature is told.
Charlie's path to becoming smart is almost the same as a person's whole life. He grows from a naive child to a knowledgeable person, and becomes confused again when he is old. Then explore the family of origin, the relationship between colleagues and lovers.
Charlie has not been pursuing intelligence all his life, but has always wanted to confirm that he is a human being.
A person who is liked by his parents, treated kindly by his colleagues, and has a lover who will grow old together.
but--
Just like many ordinary people, although they are not old but their hearts are old, when facing the reality, they can only say one thing that is rare and confused.
How many people can be sure that they are individuals in this world of mortals?
"ah?"
The little boy-faced colleague poured a basin of cold water on him.
Mr. Orange told the little boy, "Also, the essence of this book is the typos!"
Mr. Orange thinks this is a cool idea!
Absolutely!
In a sense, Mr. Orange feels that it is as amazing and convincing as the narrative of "The Mystery of Roger" also written by Jiang Yang.
This unexpected and reasonable design in the text gives readers a very amazing feeling.
The sense of substitution is great!
Mr. Orange was immersed in it while reading it.
At the end of the reading, Charlie became stupid again, and when he told the teacher that he had lost the book, he almost broke his defense.
Oh shit!
Mr. Orange now understands his wife's mood when watching Jiang Yang's tear-jerking advertisements.
Too bad!
Several times, Mr. Orange almost couldn't hold back his tears.
He was convinced by Jiang Yang.
"young people."
Mr. Orange got up to make tea, and patted the little boy on the shoulder, "Stop your jealousy and read Jiang Yang's novels, you will fall under his pomegranate skirt. At first, I was not convinced, but—really sharp!"
The little boy curled his lips.
He looked at his watch, "It's time to get off work, I'll watch it tomorrow, I have an appointment with my girlfriend to watch a play."
He packs up his things.
"Hey, by the way, "Country Teacher" should be released, you can watch it."
Mr. Orange reminded him.
The last time the little boy-faced colleague wanted to see it, Mr. Orange didn't let him see it, after all, he had to keep it secret.
Then, this morning, Susan sent a message to tell Mr. Orange that the new book was released.
"oh."
The little boy agreed.
He picked up his schoolbag, waved to Mr. Orange, and got off work first.
Mr. Orange is also planning to leave work.
He looked at his phone and found that Beard and the others were chatting in the group, and x-on:him, asking him how about Jiang Yang's new book.
He replied three words in the group: "Fuck!"
Liu Tao didn't understand: "What does this mean, good or bad?"
"You will see for yourself when the time comes."
Sister Chen was bubbling at this time, x-on:him, "Send me the proofreaded version."
Sister Chen was quite curious when she saw Mr. Cheng's evaluation of the novel. Since she had the opportunity, she read it in advance.
Mr. Orange: No change.
As the editor of Jiangyang, Liu Tao has a deep understanding of the words: "It's hard to change, right? But Jiang Yang without typos is not Jiang Yang, so let's change it well."
Mr. Orange: "Let's make a bet, I dare to send Jiang Yang's manuscript with a bunch of typos."
Sister Chen:?
Sister Chen: I can read it, there are many typos.
The bearded men were bubbling one after another, thinking that Mr. Orange was exaggerating.
Liu Tao: I don't believe it!
Mr. Orange: Make a bet. If I lose, I invite you to dinner. If you lose, each person will buy ten copies of the next magazine. Is it fair?
Liu Tao: Is your magazine in such a downturn?
Beard: Bet!
Liu Tao and the others also agreed.
They haven't seen a magazine with a bunch of typos.
If Mr. Orange really dares to publish it, it is an unrivaled spectacle, so what if they buy ten copies?
