Chapter 521: Double Main Attack

After An Xiyan finished speaking, the entire editorial department fell silent.

A familiar editor couldn't help but ask: "An Xiyan, are you talking about Luoyang, the Luoyang who has only written two short science fiction stories?"

It's not that everyone looks down on Luoyang. The two works "The Heartbroken" and "One Day Prisoner" are really good, but in everyone's inherent thinking, Luoyang, a famous martial arts writer, always feels unreal when he devotes himself to science fiction. Everyone thinks that Luoyang is more like playing around.

Occasionally writing two science fiction stories for fun, don't these literary geniuses like to do this?

The editor-in-chief spoke: "As usual, everyone read the manuscript first before deciding! An Xiyan, send us Luoyang's submission."

He was also a little curious about the level of Luoyang's science fiction work this time, and it was worth An Xiyan, who was always cautious, to recommend it as the main feature of the next issue. You know, the original main feature of the next issue was the work of Bai Yi, the screenwriter of "Future Storm".

An Xiyan sent the manuscript to the editor-in-chief and the computers of each editor.

The editor-in-chief is Xiang Rong, who is the person who has the final say in "Science Fiction World".

In fact, Xiang Rong no longer needs to personally review manuscripts in his position, but Xiang Rong still likes to review manuscripts himself. He loves the feeling of witnessing the birth of an excellent work, which is also a feeling that power cannot give him.

"Rural Teacher? It's interesting."

Opening the manuscript sent by An Xiyan, Xiang Rong showed an interested look.

If a general new writer uses the four words "Rural Teacher" as the name of a science fiction novel, Xiang Rong will definitely sneer, but if a powerful science fiction writer uses this name, Xiang Rong will be very interested.

He said to himself: "Can it be as good as "The Heartbroken" and "One Day Prisoner"? "

The answer to the question was soon revealed. As Xiang Rong read, a picture of "Rural Teacher" slowly unfolded.

The simple language, rigorous structure, stunning contrast, and unexpected ending all made Xiang Rong feel pleasantly surprised. When he finished reading the entire "Rural Teacher", he directly decided: "Okay, the last science fiction serial for the next issue has been selected, which is "Rural Teacher"!"

As Xiang Rong finished reading the manuscript, other editors of "Science Fiction World" also finished reading "Rural Teacher".

One of the male editors said solemnly: "I agree, this "Rural Teacher" is indeed good, the writing and layout are quite standard, and it has a great style!"

A female editor with glasses also nodded: "Combining rural teachers with science fiction is indeed a finishing touch. The writing of this work is quite like an upgraded version of "The Sad One". Luoyang is worthy of being a national writer."

Almost all editors approved the plan to publish "Rural Teacher" in the next issue.

But at this moment, Xiang Rong suddenly felt a little troubled: "Speaking of which, this "Rural Teacher" is actually qualified to be the main issue, but we have already decided that Bai Yi's work will be the main issue. What should we do?"

"Editor-in-chief, only the best works are qualified to be the main issue!"

The speaker was An Xiyan, who tried her best to fight for the layout of "Rural Teacher": "Although Bai Yi's "Flower God" is good, it is still lacking compared with "Rural Teacher". Luoyang is more topical as a national writer."

An Xiyan really likes this work called "Rural Teacher".

Xiang Rong fell into thinking, a little hesitant: "I told Bai Yi before that his work will be the main issue this time. After all, I didn't expect that there would be a work like "Rural Teacher" to appear. Giving "Rural Teacher" the main issue would offend Bai Yi..."

"I have a suggestion." An old editor suddenly spoke.

Xiang Rong and An Xiyan looked at the old editor at the same time, wanting to know what the other party's suggestion was.

The old editor laughed and said, "We can have two main titles in the next issue, one is "Rural Teacher" and the other is "Flower God", creating the feeling of Luoyang and Bai Yi competing against each other. In this way, we will not cancel the main title of "Flower God" and will not bury the quality of "Rural Teacher". "

0 The editors looked at each other in bewilderment - there is no precedent for double main titles.

But if Luoyang or Bai Yi both have a temperament of not admitting defeat, then things will be a bit difficult. After all, these two people are not simple. One is a talented national writer in the literary world, and the other is a representative figure of the fourth generation of science fiction writers who is in the limelight with "Future Storm".

"Let's call first to test the waters! I'll call Bai Yi, and An Xiyan, you call Luoyang." Xiang Rong said.

An Xiyan nodded. This is the only way. Although "Science Fiction World" is a famous science fiction magazine in Longguo in the hearts of ordinary science fiction fans, it does not mean that they can do whatever they want. They still have to serve writers like Luoyang and Bai Yi carefully.

——————————————————

While Luoyang was busy typing, his cell phone suddenly rang.

He picked it up and saw that it was an unfamiliar number. Luoyang didn't think much and answered the call directly.

"Hello, are you Mr. Luo?" An Xiyan said respectfully. The other party was Luoyang, who was known as a national writer. His achievements in the Longguo literary world should not be underestimated, so An Xiyan was still a little reserved when she called Luoyang.

"It's me, who are you?"

"I am the editor of "Science Fiction World". We saw your submission, Mr. Luo. "Country Teacher" is a very exciting work, so we plan to make it one of the double flagship works in the next issue. The other main work is "Flower God" by Teacher Bai Yi..."

Luoyang smiled. It was completely expected that "Rural Teacher" would be selected into the next issue of "Science Fiction World".

Luoyang also quickly understood what the other party meant. He was asking for his opinion on the two main works. After all, having two main works on the cover of a magazine meant that the two main works would be compared by the public.

Because some writers don't like to be compared with their peers, "Science Fiction World" also seeks the opinions of those involved.

"You guys just look at the arrangement." Luoyang said. He didn't mind such competition. The magazine's main title would increase the weight of the work, so he didn't intend to give it up. As for what the writer named Bai Yi thought, he didn't care. Luoyang is within the scope of consideration.

"Ok, I see."

"Well, if there's nothing else, I'll hang up first."

After hanging up the phone, Luoyang opened the web page and searched for the word "Bai Yi".

After this search, Luoyang was surprised to find that the other party was actually the screenwriter of the recently popular movie "Future Storm". It was really a fate. After all, he also watched this movie called "Future Storm" in the cinema. .
