Chapter 13, Application for Increasing Length and Manuscript Fee
Writing on a desk is much more comfortable than writing on the steps, and Jiang Jun wrote more than 30,000 words from the morning to the end of school.
Principal Chen had just come back from Chinese class, and when he saw Jiang Jun's manuscript stacked on the side, he exclaimed, "I've written so much!"
Jiang Jun smiled: "These words have always been in my head, so I almost wrote them." ”
Principal Chen took the manuscripts and said with a smile, "Then I'll take a look at them first." ”
After reading these 30,000 words, Principal Chen sighed, gave it back to him, and said, "I originally thought that Liang Wenjing, a scholar, could do something big, but he was still killed by the villain. But your novel is still very exciting, it seems that Liang Xiao is the real protagonist of "Kunlun", and I am looking forward to his follow-up story. ”
He also said: "You can store this manuscript here, and you don't have to be restrained in the future, just come here to write a novel." If there's no one in the office, go find me at home. ”
After school, Jiang Jun and Jiang Xiaowei went back together.
This time, just like before, I passed by the store and bought some delicious food for Jiang Xiaowei, and after eating, we went home together.
He originally had dozens of dollars left, and he originally wanted to wait for the manuscript fee to come, but then he suddenly realized that he had advanced 200,000 words of manuscript fee, and if he wanted to get the manuscript fee again, he had to wait for the new manuscript to be published.
Fortunately, he is already addicted, and it doesn't matter if he has a hard life. But I didn't suffer Xiaoying, and often bought her delicious food.
More than 30,000 manuscripts are stored in the office.
Every day after that, Jiang Jun went to Principal Chen's office to write, and he didn't have to pay for pen and paper, all of which were provided by Principal Chen in return for reading novels.
A week later, Jiang Jun completed the first volume of "Kunlun", and he was amazed by Principal Chen, and praised this martial arts novel again and again. said: "Xiao Jiang, this time it will definitely pass, and the response should be better." ”
So Jiang Jun took these manuscripts to Song Erbo and sent them to Chen Qing in a package.
Jiang Jun also added a note to it: "Look at it, there is no plot that is not written according to the previous statement." Can you help me get more publications and manuscript fees? And don't forget about the radio. ”
A few days later, the package was sent to Chen Qing, who secretly took a quick look at it when there was no one in the dormitory, and saw that the pattern of this volume was more grandiose and more moving, so he couldn't help but shout.
Seeing that the plot behind it was really written like that, Liang Wenjing was killed by Xiao Qian, and Liang Xiao embarked on an adventure with a heart of revenge for his father. I thought that the radio had won this time, and I could teach Zhang Yan, the eldest sister of the neighboring class, a lesson.
When he saw the note, he snorted lightly and said to himself: "This little conscienceless person only asks for the manuscript fee and the radio for what he writes me, and he doesn't know how to ask me how it is." ”
In fact, Jiang Jun's response can be regarded as reasonable, Chen Qing's letter is to ask for the manuscript and the plot, and his reply is naturally to talk about the manuscript and the plot. It's not that he hasn't thought about falling in love, but he doesn't have such a need for this now, and his biggest need now is to completely reverse the poor life of his family by making money, so he is "not active, refusal, and irresponsible" for girls.
Who knew that Chen Qing had planted the seeds of affection for him since he was teased by him last time, and now it was because of the shoes he sent and his articles that made her look in the limelight, and this kind of seed gradually took root. In fact, in her letter to Jiang Jun, she wanted to write a lot of questions, but because she was shy, she was embarrassed to write them. I'm still looking forward to Jiang Jun to tease her first.
But this small detail will not affect Chen Qing's enthusiasm. Chen Qing has now regarded this work as a career of his own, and he really wanted to help Jiang Jun get this manuscript done well, so he took the time to bring this work to Lantian Magazine as soon as possible.
When she arrived at Lantian Magazine, Editor-in-Chief Sun saw her and hurriedly took the initiative to greet her and said, "Xiao Chen!"
Chen Qing said obediently: "Aunt Sun is good. ”
Editor-in-Chief Sun's mouth couldn't help but rise, and said: "Your last 'Yuan Zhi Ma Recommends Zhuge 'was quite effective." Now our "Lantian Magazine" has increased its sales by 30% because of the serialization of the Kunlun prequel! This is still under the premise that this novel has not given full play to the residual influence, and it is still growing. If there is a better text of "Kunlun", then the follow-up will be limitless!"
Chen Qing thought to himself: Hmph, this kid has become Zhuge Liang. I have to be Mr. Shuijing. smiled: "In that case, I don't know if I can increase the length of the article for him and increase the manuscript fee." ”
"Yo, it seems that this time the talented girl is here to be a lobbyist. Editor-in-Chief Sun looked at her playfully, but his expression was still very happy, and there was no displeasure.
"The real 'lobbyist' is not me, it's this. Chen Qing handed over the manuscript of the first volume of "Kunlun" and said with a smile: "After you finish reading this volume, whether you will increase the length or the manuscript fee depends on the quality of this volume." ”
Editor-in-Chief Sun looked at the manuscripts, looked very serious, carefully picked them up, and said: "This volume also needs about 200,000 words, I have to take a good look at it, take a serious look." I'll get back to you tomorrow. ”
Chen Qing thought to herself: She proposed to read more than 200,000 words carefully, which shows that she attaches more importance to this manuscript, which is a good thing. So I smiled and agreed.
The weather was cold at the right time, even if Chen Qing liked those shoes again, but when the crystal snowflakes drifted to her instep, she still felt extremely cold, so she changed to cotton shoes, which were still given by Jiang Jun, and they were warm from her feet to her heart.
When Chen Qing returned to school, Zhang Yan, the eldest sister in the neighboring class, stood in front of him and said: "Chen Qing, this "Kunlun Prequel" is almost over, Liang Wenjing is not dead yet, I think you should admit defeat now." If you drag it out for a while, the snow on the ground will be a few inches thick, so don't blame me for not warning you. ”
Chen Qing thought to himself: If I really lose, the snow on the ground is a few inches thick, and I have to walk barefoot, then this is really a fiasco.
But the manuscript has been given, how can there be any reason to lose. smiled: "It's all said that it's "Kunlun Prequel", you wait for the text of "Kunlun" to come out. By the way, I kindly remind you, you should also prepare the radio, it is best to rehearse that line well, and then you can say it so that you can be emotional!"
Zhang Yan snorted and said, "Then let's take a look and see, after the text of "Kunlun" comes out, what do you have to say." ”
"Then we'll see. Chen Qing didn't say much to her, and walked away.
