Great Writer
Chapter 15: Love of talent
The editor-in-chief of "Gusu Evening News" responsible for celebrity gossip and novel serialization is named Zhou Qiyun. He is a middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance and a bald head.
Zhou Qiyun was also very curious about the men and women who came here to look for him. He thought they wanted to come to the newspaper to advertise or something, but after hearing that they were coming to contribute articles, he suddenly lost interest and just kept the surface. polite.
It turns out that even a general newspaper with a small circulation like the Gusu Evening News will not easily accept contributions from newcomers, and those novels that have been serialized in newspapers are not at all because of how well the novels are written, but because of how well they are written. The author has a good relationship with the editor. If the editor offers the author a normal price of 1 silver dollar per thousand words, half of the author’s contribution fee will be used as a benefit fee for the editor.
Zhou Qiyun is in charge of this section. Of course, he tends to continue to cooperate with those authors who have worked for a long time, because the selling point of "Gusu Evening News" is not in this section, and he has no intention to carry forward this section. After all, he is not the owner of this newspaper. He was just an editor. He was already satisfied with the fixed salary of dozens of silver dollars a month and the worship of those third-rate novelists.
Zhou Qiyun looked at Wang Defu's aristocratic college student's dress, and felt that the other party must be that kind of book-business-like character, maybe he was a arrogant person. How could such a character be willing to pay him a favor?
However, Zhou Qiyun is a character who has been in the society for a long time. He still smiles, and he exchanged a gentle greeting with Wang Defu for a while, and he also took the manuscript. After listening to Wang Defu saying that this work is the work of his sister "Ms. Yiren", Zhou Qiyun said, "I admire and admire, so that the girl will not let me shave the eyebrows", but he is even more disdainful in his heart.
How rare are women who can make their mark in the literary world these years, either in the imperial capital or in the magic capital.
These two places even formed two major factions of writer groups, the Imperial School and the Magic Capital School. Although Suzhou is a relatively developed area with a relatively open atmosphere, it is far better than God Capital and Magic Capital.
In fact, the city and the countryside in the entire country are seriously separated. The city seems to be a modern capitalist country, while the countryside is still a feudal country ruled by squires, clans, and landlords.
"Then put the manuscript here first. Just leave me a contact address. If our newspaper accepts it, we will send the sample publication and the manuscript fee." Zhou Qiyun said with a smile.
had to admit that from his performance, it seemed that he really attached great importance to Wang Defu's works. This even made Wang Mo'er, who thought she would not let her young master be deceived, secretly happy for the young master and thought it was done.
However, Wang Mo'er has never been in contact with cultural people, and does not understand that they are different from those farmers, coachmen, etc.
Wang Defu would not be perfunctory by Zhou Qiyun’s social rhetoric. Although this manuscript was discarded, he still has a draft there. It does not take much time to copy a copy. But which writer likes to see his hard work? What is written, is it ignored?
It is also unpleasant to copy it again. I just blame this world without a computer, or just copy and paste it.
"Editor Zhou, let's take a look now. If you can't meet your newspaper's requirements, just tell me the result." Wang Defu insisted.
Wang Defu's insistence made Zhou Qiyun's smile solidify, and the exchange between the two was also noticed by other editors in the office, and some idle and curious editors even came to watch.
In fact, it is rare for newcomer writers to come to the editorial department to submit articles in person these years. Most newspapers and magazines will publish their own manuscript addresses and accept manuscripts by mail.
"Old Zhou, or you can just take a look." A young editor named Du Shuhuan couldn't help saying.
Du Shuhuan is the editor-in-chief of the time review and social news section of "Gusu Evening News". He is quite talented. It is said that he has a relatively deep background. The editorial department speaks quite a bit.
Zhou Qiyun snorted and finally turned to the manuscript, but his mentality was bursting. He just read it hastily. With ten lines at a glance, he didn't taste the beauty of Wang Defu's writing at all, nor was he attracted by the descriptions of H. Instead, he came to a conclusion, believing that This is a "crude work".
"This work does not meet the requirements of our newspaper, and our newspaper is also a regular big newspaper, not a tabloid, your work is out of line." Zhou Qiyun said very seriously.
Rao is Wang Defu who thinks that he has a good temper, and is also very upset. His work, in terms of the scale of description of H, is not as good as the half-white antiquity H serialized in the "Gusu Evening News". As a result, the editor-in-chief actually said that his work was over-the-line. uukanshu.com is really outrageous!
When Zhou Qiyun said this, Du Shuhuan couldn’t help but took the manuscript and looked at it carefully. As a result, he saw it all at once, and was also stunned by the "Farewell to Cambridge" that was thrown out in the opening paragraph—"Light me Gone,? Just as I came gently; I gently waved my hand goodbye to the clouds of the western sky.... Quietly I left, just as I came quietly; I waved my sleeves without taking away a cloud.?"
What a great modern poem! It's so catchy to read!
In the contemporary poetry world, there are not many poets who can write such modern poems, right?
Du Shuhuan almost shouted "good poems, good poems". With such a poem, we can see the author's profound literary background. As a result, Zhou Qiyun directly rejected the manuscript. No wonder the literary world in Suzhou is almost a stagnant pool and a bit talented. All of the authors have gone to the magic city not far from Suzhou to get mixed up. They are indeed the literary editors here, and their quality is worrying!
However, Du Shuhuan was unable to accept Wang Defu's manuscript on behalf of Zhou Qiyun. In fact, he still felt in his heart that a platform like "Gusu Evening News" was not worthy of the other party's work!
"Gusu Evening News"’s manuscript fee is not high. The new author estimates that they can only get a thousand words and half a silver dollar. Although it is equivalent to 50 yuan for a thousand characters in later generations, you must know that the average private magazine of the magic city has a minimum of 1,000. The word starts at 1 silver dollar, and the official magazines and literary journals of the imperial capital start at 3 silver dollars for a thousand words.
Du Shuhuan's heart moved, looking at the handsome face of Wang Defu, a young college student, he couldn't help but recalled his vigorous college career, but he certainly didn't have the talent of the other party. He was moved by his love of talent and decided to help this young man. A handful is also a good fate.
Now this young man is so talented, he will definitely be able to stir the situation in the Chinese literary world in the future!
