Chapter 44: Salted Fish Turns Over
I've only been back for a day, why are you leaving?"
Mrs. Lin stood in the yard holding her chubby orange cat and complained in a low voice, the house had been deserted for a long time, and she thought it would be lively for two days.
Zhang Chu stretched out his hand and hugged his grandmother, he said with a smile: "Grandma, I'm going to the school to give a speech, and I want to get admission to the school." When that's done, I'll come back here for a while. ”
In his opinion, a small place like Longsha Town is suitable for writing, the environment is quiet, no one else comes to disturb it, there is the Internet, computers, and grandma's food.
"If you come back, you can help me herd the sheep, I bought two sheep before, and when I raise them until the Chinese New Year, you can kill and eat the mutton. Mrs. Lin couldn't close her mouth with a smile, her grandson came back to live for a few days, which was much better than being alone!
Zhang Chu has a black line, the country has been returning farmland to forest and grassland, the environment around Longsha Town is much better, and with more and more attention to food safety issues, many people choose to raise these things themselves.
After all, no one cares about the countryside anymore, the clucking hens in the yard, and the two unmasked sheep, Zhang Chu feels that his hometown life will definitely be quite colorful!
Zhang Bowen asked curiously on the side, "Don't worry about your own sheep, Mom, where did you put these two sheep?"
"Where else could it be. In the past two days, I asked your uncle to help me put them for a few days, and their family also raised several sheep. ”
Zhang Chu stood at the door of the car and reluctantly waved goodbye to Mrs. Lin, although he would come back in a few days.
……
"Aren't you going to the school to give a speech this afternoon? Your teacher Tao specially instructed me to let you speak not so directly with reality, but to be a little tactful. ”
Chu Lan has also seen the true face of his son, and such sharp words come out of his mouth, which is really not very accustomed to it, even if it is the truth.
This is the function of poisonous chicken soup, although it transmits negative energy, it is a break free from the needs of reality, kicking and passing on what the original chicken soup for the soul fiction and shielding, and providing the real situation of the world or self.
In Zhang Chu's view, this should be regarded as a kind of black humor, and poisonous chicken soup is to imitate chicken soup for the soul in a playful way, mean, cold, and mercilessly exposing and even exaggerating the cruel truth of life.
No matter how delicious things are, they can't stand eating every day, and the overwhelming chicken soup for the soul makes people tired, not to mention that most of the chicken soup for the soul is very hypocritical, pretentious, empty and hypocritical.
On the other hand, the poisonous chicken soup faces the reality and the bleak life, does not give people inspiration, does not give people comfort, and does not give people earnest teachings, like a whip to whip people violently, so that people can sober up and know the most real side of the world and themselves.
"Mom, good medicine is good for disease, good advice is good for deeds, we need to listen to the truth and tell the truth. Zhang Chu said to himself, "I don't produce chicken soup, I'm just a porter of chicken soup." ”
"Whatever you want. When the time comes, get criticized, don't be depressed and sad at home. Chu Lan just said it in passing, completing the task given to her by Tao Zhixin.
On this day in his hometown, Zhang Chu had already conceived a rough framework in his head, and the students who drank chicken soup every day probably had an aversion to this type of chicken soup, and they had to have something fresh!
Zhang Chu actually has a lot of prestige, but there are a lot of places that need to be used, of course, the more the merrier.
However, now there is no need for the sword to go off the beaten path to gain attention, and with so much aura on his body, he can get the prestige he wants.
The car was speeding on the highway, speeding towards Jiangcheng.
At this time, the "Sherlock" has already gained a lot of popularity on the Internet, and the number of votes has jumped several levels, and now it has come to 19, gradually approaching the leading group!
Zhang Chu felt like a farmer, looking forward to a bumper harvest, maybe a miracle would really come.
Although the air conditioner was turned on in the car, it was still a little dull, Zhang Chu's eyes closed slightly, and he became drowsy.
I don't know when the vibration of the mobile phone woke him up, and this is the editor of the Time Reasoning Magazine.
"May I ask if it's classmate Zhang Chu?" Liu Qiao's voice came out of the earpiece, she had just been a few phone calls and no one answered, but now she was finally connected.
Zhang Chu replied in a daze: "It's me, Sister Liu has something to do with me?"
Liu Qiao breathed a sigh of relief, and she hurriedly said: "That's the case, after your "Detective Sherlock" was published in our magazine, it was unanimously loved by readers. Our editor-in-chief also appreciates this article, which should be just a chapter of the novel, right?"
"That's right, this is just the first chapter, and there's a lot more to come. ”
"I officially ask you for a manuscript on behalf of our magazine, and if the follow-up content is written, it can be published in our magazine. Liu Qiao said her purpose, she wanted such a popular article to hide in the years of reasoning for a few issues.
However, Zhang Chu is not a young man who is easy to get hot-headed, he asked very calmly: "How to calculate the remuneration?"
"I can only give you 800 words at most, if the quality of the follow-up work is as good as this chapter, I can help you fight with the editor-in-chief, and the specific price will not be known until then. ”
However, Zhang Chu is not satisfied with the price of 800 thousand words, it was already 500 thousand words before, and now he is not an obscure little transparent, he is the top student in the college entrance examination with his own search halo.
He believes that the Reasoning Magazine is willing to continue to ask him for manuscripts, and there must be a huge gain.
"The price is too low, you don't seem to be sincere. "Zhang Chu is also a two-life person, he has seen a lot of this kind of trick in his previous life, selling cars and houses are like this, go to the leader or supervisor to fight, and then pretend to fight for reason, and come up with slightly better or slightly preferential conditions.
Liu Qiao wanted the follow-up content of "Sherlock" to be true, but she also had to take into account the cost of the entire magazine and the structure of the manuscript fee, so she played the emotional card at this time.
"Zhang Chu, you must have also paid attention to our magazine, and now the sales of the magazine are actually very average, and there are not many advertisements on it. The entire magazine was very difficult to operate, and it was unable to make ends meet for a long time. Now there is not much money, and there is a serious lack of liquidity. We reasoned that magazines are not popular in the market, and this is the kind of treatment that can be given. ”
"But you must have sold well this issue, right?" Zhang Chu asked rhetorically, "I noticed the number of downloads and comments on several channels, and in less than two days, the number of comments in the July issue was twice as high as that in the June issue." Maybe you had a hard time in the past, but it's definitely not now! What's more, didn't you make some benefit from partnering with Warner Bros. in the Sherlock Holmes essay contest?"
As Zhang Chu said, the years of reasoning magazine staged a good show of salted fish turning over this week, even if you can't get specific sales figures, but the heat of discussion on the Internet can't deceive people.
He has enough confidence in his "Sherlock" to rush to the top 20 of the Sherlock Holmes essay contest in a short period of time, which proves that it has indeed received strong support from netizens, reasoning enthusiasts, and Sherlock Holmes fans!
