Entertainment Reborn Rhapsody

Chapter 8 Signing
The weekend is here, Shanhe's family has cleaned up the house since early morning.

"Mom, I cleaned the squid and put it on the stove." Shanhe shouted as he looked at his mother and teacher who were busy preparing the ingredients.

"I know, it's none of your business." Xie Meiyu kept working, "Your dad and the others are waiting at the street corner to welcome guests, you should go and have a look too."

As soon as Shanhe walked out of the house, he saw Qiu Jiang and the others walking towards him with an elegant middle-aged lady.

"Editor Qu, this is my son Qiu Shanhe, the author of "From City to Field". He is 13 and a half years old and still in the second grade of junior high school." Qiu Jiang pulled his son over to introduce Qu Ling, "Xiaohe, this lady is Germination Editor Qu Ling of the magazine."

Qu Ling looked at the boy with baby fat in front of him, he was almost as tall as himself, with a handsome face, eager eyes, and a little hesitation.

He is a refreshing big boy.

"Hello Shanhe, my name is Qu Ling, the editor of Shanghai Germination Magazine." Qu Ling stretched out his right hand.

"Hello, sister Qu, I'm Qiu Shanhe, my pen name is Shanhe." Shanhe stepped forward and introduced himself without any stage fright.

"Editor Qu, come in, come in, it's too sunny outside, please come all the way here." Qiu Jiang hurriedly summoned Qu Ling into the yard.

"Editor Qu, this is Xiaohe's mother and grandma. They started preparing lunch early in the morning."

Xie Meiyu and Mrs. Xie also entered the living room after hearing the sound, and after a few pleasantries, they got to the point.

"What is your original intention for creating this book, Shanhe?"

"I fell ill once during the summer vacation, and my parents had to work, so I had no time to take care of my sister and me, so I sent my sister and me back to our hometown to be with my grandparents..." Shanhe narrated his summer experiences.

"Are all the illustrations in the book your work?"

"That's right, I drew it for my younger sister at first, but later my younger sister pestered me to follow up, so I drew more and more." Qiu Jiang handed Qu Ling the diary he had prepared earlier, "This is the earliest version, it is A summer log."

Qu Ling carefully flipped through the diary, "Did the later revisions be carried out under the guidance of my father?"

Shanhe looked up at his father, "Eh~ no, my dad has always encouraged me. It was Uncle Wu who reviewed manuscripts for me and gave me advice. Uncle Wu is a very good writer. My master also told me many folk stories. and customs, and also shared a lot of personal experience. My grandma helped me sort out the sketches, and my grandma taught me to paint since I was a child.”

Shanhe told Qu Ling about the selfless help of the elders to him.

"Mr. Qiu, the magazine values ​​Shanhe's creative talent very much. Before coming, the editor-in-chief had already prepared to recommend this book to the Department of Education." Qu Ling put down the manuscript in his hand and said solemnly to Shanhe and his son.

"We at Sprout Magazine want to sign Shanhe and make Shanhe a contracted writer of the magazine. The salary will be the same as that of top young writers. The magazine will do its best to promote Shanhe's works."

Qu Ling's words stunned the people on the opposite side, and Qiu Jiang's blood surged up, his face flushed.

It was Yu Zhengchong who broke the silence, "Editor Qu, I am very grateful to Shanhe from the magazine for his attention. We still want to understand the rights and responsibilities in the contract."

"No problem, this is the contract prepared by the magazine, please take a look." Qu Ling took out the contract from the bag and handed it to Yu Zhengchong.

The three of Yu Zhengchong began to look through the contract text in turn, while Qu Ling and Shanhe chatted again.

"Shanhe, you have to take care of your studies while creating, do you feel a lot of pressure?"

"Fortunately, my grades are above average, and the pressure is not too great. I promised my mother that I will be admitted to university."

"Smart boy, does the school know that you write novels in your spare time?"

"I don't know. Apart from my family, only my grandparents and Uncle Wu know about it."

"Why don't you want to tell other classmates or teachers? Are you afraid they will laugh at you? Or is there some other reason?"

"My father and my master both told me not to spread the word, saying it would have a bad impact. I don't want to, well, I can't tell. Maybe I'm a little different from them."

"... "

The three of Qiu Jiang have already discussed it, "Editor Qu, the conditions offered by the magazine are very good, we are very satisfied, but the limit is only one year, we are a bit confused."

"Ms. Qiu, the idea of ​​contracting a writer is a new concept after the marketization of literature. Now the national magazines have a one-year deadline. Since Shanhe is still young, we didn't assign him any tasks in the contract. Of course, if Shanhe There are new works during the period, our magazine has extra rewards, I can add this to the contract."

"Look, what's the problem?"

Qiu Jiang and Yu Zhengchong, Wu Zhiwei looked at each other, "There is nothing else for now."

"Okay, I'll leave you a copy of the contract. You can find a lawyer to review it. If there is no problem, we will call and contact you for the specific signing time." Qu Ling left one of the contracts.

"Okay, thank you for the song editor. Then I would like to ask you to teach Xiaohe more."

Unable to shirk the Qiu family's attentiveness, Qu Ling hurried back to the Magic City after having lunch at the Qiu family.

Shanhe ended the midterm exam peacefully.Declining the invitation of several classmates to play, I pushed the new car my mother rewarded me out of the campus.

"Xiao He, ride faster, someone is chasing me over there!" The back seat of the bicycle suddenly sank, and the voice of Li Xiaohui, who was at the same table, rang in his ears.

Without hesitation, Shanhe immediately accelerated and rode towards the police station.

"I didn't keep up," Li Xiaohui panted and said to Shanhe, "Thank you, Brother Haqiu, I'll treat you to pancakes tomorrow."

Shanhe slowly parked the car on the side of the road, "Xiaohui, what happened, why are people still chasing you?"

"The class next door, Jinliang, brought his brother to block me at the school gate. Did he hit me last time by slipping the handrail of the stairs? He didn't even apologize, so I just scolded him a few words?"

"On this matter, Jin Liang must be sick!" Shanhe was a little speechless, "Do you want to sue the teacher?"

"It's no use asking the teacher. I think Jin Liang just wants to use me as a stick. His brother is a gangster in the movie theater. The teacher can ask his brother!" Li Xiaohui said angrily.

"I heard that several boarders in the high school were beaten and robbed of money."

"Ah, how about I go home and talk to my dad, but I haven't heard of it."

"You go home after class all day, and you go to pick up your sister in the evening, and you don't come for evening self-study. We have already expelled you from the team, haha"

Li Xiaohui got out of the car and said to Shanhe with a smile: "Don't tell your dad, it will be more troublesome then. I'm not afraid of Jin Liang at school. His brother can still block me at the school gate every day. Even if he wants to block me, he can't." "

"Okay, then be careful. How do you feel about the midterm exam?"

"It's okay, but it's definitely not as good as you. Did you take some magic medicine this semester? You won't come out to play anymore." Li Xiaohui asked meanly.

"During the summer vacation, my parents uttered harsh words, which rewarded me with a new car, and now I can hardly leave the house."

"Then I'm leaving, and I'll bring you big meatloaf tomorrow morning." Li Xiaohui said goodbye to Shan He.

Shanhe sighed and pushed the cart slowly towards the experimental primary school.

The world of teenagers is not always full of sunshine.

After the younger sister, Shan He carried her into the back seat and pushed her towards home.

"Dad, dad is here to pick up Xixi." Little Chuxi's sharp eyes immediately saw his father coming towards him.

"Dad, why are you here? I agreed to pick up Xixi today."

"Just came out of the Education Bureau, let's drop by, let's go, your dad will treat you to ice cream today."

Seeing Shanhe's two brothers and sisters sitting on a bench holding a box of ice cream and licking fiercely, Qiu Jiang smiled and said to Shanhe: "I discussed it with your mother, and I will take you to Shanghai to sign a contract with the magazine in two days' weekend. .”

"Understood, I don't understand these things, you decide." Shanhe helped his sister wipe the cream on the tip of her nose.

Qiu Jiang looked at his son proudly, "According to the terms of the contract, your manuscript fee for this book is nearly 4000 yuan, and there is still a sum of money for the release of the booklet. I will ask your mother to save it for you. If you need it, ask your mother for it." .”

"Got it, I want to buy a TV for my grandparents when the money arrives."

"Okay, I'll go and talk to your mother." Qiu Jiang patted his son's head with satisfaction.
