Chapter 27, the manuscript fee has skyrocketed

I agreed to the letter serialized by "Heroes" in Taolin Magazine, and sent it to Taolin Magazine, waiting for their reply.

Not many days passed. A letter from Taolin Magazine sent over, saying that "Heroes" had been published in Taolin Magazine, and the readers' response was enthusiastic, and the manuscript fee had risen to 1 yuan per thousand words.

After Jiang Jun saw it, he was also expected, reasonable, and not too excited. After all, "Heroes" is at least one of the novels that has attracted the most attention, the greatest influence, and the most enthusiastic response from readers since Jingu Huangliangwen. In the last century, there were so many martial arts novels serialized in magazines on the mainland, but only a few of them were able to leave a name? If "Heroes" is published in such a county-level magazine, it is tantamount to abusing vegetables.

But who knew that only two days later, Taolin Magazine sent another letter, saying that his manuscript fee had risen to 2 yuan per thousand words.

This speed was so fast that Jiang Jun didn't expect it. Some of them feel strange, even if the response is enthusiastic, it doesn't have to rise so fast.

As time went on, the Chinese New Year was approaching, and the people in the village were getting busier and busier.

In the morning, Jiang's father said: "Xiaojun, I will go out with your mother to do some errands today, so don't go anywhere and watch your sister at home." ”

"Okay. ”

Jiang Jun didn't go to Principal Chen's house in the morning because he had to take care of Xiaowei.

At noon, Xiaowei shouted that she was hungry, and Jiang Jun's stomach felt empty. But he didn't bother to cook, so he just made two pieces of white noodles, rolled out a shape casually, and baked two cakes.

One was given to Xiaowei, and the other was just about to be eaten, but she heard a knock on the door outside.

When I opened the door, a figure in a windbreaker was standing outside, with a sly smile on his face, and a pair of beautiful eyes were looking at him, it was Chen Qing.

Jiang Jun was also taken aback when he saw Chen Qing coming back, and said with a smile: "When did you come back?"

Chen Qing said, "Are your uncles and aunts there?"

Jiang Jun smiled: "You came just in time, you are not here." ”

Chen Qing said: "Cut, it's just right to say it, it's not serious." As he spoke, he stomped the snow on his feet outside.

Jiang Jun said: "No need to stomp, come in directly, this house is not clean originally." Sometimes you can enjoy the indoor snow from the house. ”

Chen Qing couldn't help but laugh out loud when he heard what he said, and walked in and said, "It's not that I dislike it, it's time for you to change this house." ”

Jiang Jun said: "I think so too, but one is that we can't start construction in winter, and more importantly, the money is not enough." ”

Chen Qing said with a smile: "This time it's closer to making enough money, the magazine has already raised the manuscript fee to 3 yuan per thousand words." ”

"Huh?" Jiang Jun was surprised this time.

A few days ago, Taolin Magazine issued a letter saying that the manuscript fee for "Heroes" had risen to 1 yuan per thousand words.

After a while, Taolin Magazine sent a letter saying that the manuscript fee of "Heroes" had risen to 2 yuan per thousand words.

Now Lantian Magazine has asked Chen Qing to spread the word again, and the manuscript fee of "Kunlun" has risen to 3 yuan per thousand words.

In a short period of time, the two magazines have taken turns to increase their manuscript fees, why is this?

Chen Qing sat on the side, not restrained, picked up a piece of cake, tore a piece and ate it, and said with a smile while eating: "What, I can't believe it?"

Jiang Jun said: "I just don't know why it rose so fast. ”

Chen Qing said: "Your good writing is naturally the main reason. But the reason why it has risen so fast is because another powerful martial arts novel has appeared. ”

"Another powerful martial arts novel......" Jiang Jun seemed to understand something.

Chen Qing said: "Recently, Taolin Magazine serialized a long martial arts novel called "Heroes", and the level of this martial arts novel is not low. In an instant, the sales of Taolin magazine were raised. ”

"Originally, Lantian Magazine was going to enter the market in Taolin County, but now it has become a situation where the two sides are at war. They are sold in each other's counties, and now people in Taolin County and Lantian County are reading two magazines together. ”

"The sales of these two magazines have risen sharply, and they are going to enter the market in Xijing, and they have made an appointment to 'kill' in the market in Xijing to see how much sales they can have in Xijing. Because of this, in order to retain you as a talent, Lantian Magazine has raised your manuscript fee in advance to prevent the opposite side from digging into the wall. ”

As a result, many magazines are recruiting writers of martial arts novels to contribute, which has even become a phenomenon, and some scholars have commented that martial arts novels will become an important driving force for the development of magazines. ”

Hearing this, Jiang Jun completely understood.

At the beginning, I submitted two articles by myself, just hoping to make more money. Unexpectedly, this put the two magazines in a competitive situation, and they benefited from it.

Now neither side knows that they are the writers of the two novels. Even Chen Qing didn't know that he had written "Heroes", and the only person who knew about it was Principal Chen.

Chen Qing said with a smile: "To tell you the truth, many people in our school quarreled over whether "Kunlun" or "Heroes" was better. ”

As soon as Jiang Jun heard this, his curiosity instantly rose and he said, "What's the noise?"

Chen Qing cleared his throat and said, "I'll learn from you." ”

"The writing of "Kunlun" is beautiful, and the writing of "Heroes" is so poor that I can't stand it!"

""Heroes" is unique, "Kunlun" imitates Jin Lao, and the creativity is a little worse!"

"Look at the author of "Heroes", what is the pen name of "Wild Dog", plus "Eagle" and "Bear", this is simply an animal world!"

"As far as the author of your "Kunlun" is good, you don't even have a pen name, so you got your real name. What about wild dogs, Confucius said that he was like a lost dog, and the name of wild dog is in line with the allusion!"

"How do you know that Jiang Jun is not a pen name, maybe his surname is Jiang and he looks very handsome, so he is called Jiang Jun......"

Speaking of this, Chen Qing couldn't hold back any longer, laughed, and after laughing, he clapped his hands and said, "It's fun, right?"

Jiang Jun said: "Have you also watched "Heroes", what do you think?"

Chen Qing took out a copy of "Taolin Magazine" from his bag and handed it to Jiang Jun, saying, "Take a look." Although I still support you, but the writing is really good, I suggest that you learn from others, so that the level can be further improved. ”

Jiang Jun took a look at "Taolin Magazine", and the most conspicuous place was the three big characters "Heroes", as well as the portraits of the protagonists of Heroes. It seems that Taolin Magazine really attaches importance to this novel.

Pretending to be there to read this novel, he sighed: "This novel is really good, the author is really a genius." ”

Chen Qing smiled: "I didn't expect you to be quite broad-minded and praise your opponent so much." You don't have to be too modest, you write very well. ”
