Chapter 107: Another Prize

Wang Lijian has a natural affinity, and the two have no adaptation period of "netizen meeting" at all, and they soon chatted together like on the phone.

Unlike Xu Jinjiang's eight-sided exquisiteness, Wang Li's affinity for fitness is a kind of down-and-out literati power, he doesn't need to say much, you will naturally want to get close to him.

"Oh, by the way, there's one thing I almost forgot. Wang Lijian suddenly patted his forehead and said.

Zhuang Yan asked in surprise, "What's the matter?"

"It's a good thing, you've won another award. Wang Lijian said, "But it's not an award, two days ago, the organizer of the Sprout Young Writers Award sent a message that your "Metamorphosis" won the Sprout Outstanding Short Story Award. ”

"Sprout Outstanding Short Story Award?" Zhuang Yan was stunned for a moment, he quickly searched from the memory fragments of his predecessor, but he did not find such an award.

Wang Lijian seemed to have known that Zhuang Yanhui would be this reaction, and explained with a smile, "An award was only set up last year, and it was a literary competition set up by a budding literary magazine, and it was an audition mechanism. ”

"This book has only been published for so many days, and it has won the award, and the efficiency of this award is really fast, what are they trying to do?" Zhuang Yan said.

"What's the picture?" Wang Lijian said with a smile, "The name of the pioneer writer on your body, they are a new award, and there is no backstage, it is normal to want to rub off on your fame." If you mention their awards in a book, they're going to make a lot of money. ”

Zhuang Yan nodded, this kind of award didn't mean anything to him, but he asked again, "Is there a bonus?"

Wang Lijian was stunned for a moment, then laughed again, as if he was about to get used to Zhuang Yan like this, he said: "There is a bonus, and there are a lot of them, your short story award is a big prize, and the prize money is 50,000 yuan." ”

50,000, this number has exceeded Zhuang Yan's expectations, it seems that this award is not as useless as he thought, at least the bonus is still very sincere.

"However, you have to go to receive the award in person, the award has not been announced specifically, and they can be replaced at any time. Wang Lijian said again.

Zhuang Yan felt that he had been knocked on the stick, the budding trick was slippery, if he didn't accept the prize, there would be no prize, where was the 50,000 yuan bonus, it was obviously the appearance fee for the winners, if he went, there would be no more.

This kind of approach made people feel embarrassed, Zhuang Yan shook his head regretfully, "Forget it, I still won't go." ”

Wang Lijian had been watching Zhuang Yan's reaction just now, and when he heard him say no, he said happily, "Yes, don't bend your waist for five buckets of rice, I think you don't want to go, after all, if you go to this award, you must go to the China Young Writers Award, otherwise what will people think of you?"

Zhuang Yan also nodded, five buckets of rice really couldn't break his waist, if it was five stone rice, it would be about the same. And Wang Lijian is right, if he goes to this budding literary award, then he must also go to the China Young Writers Award, otherwise everyone can see that he is going for the 50,000 yuan.

Don't want 50,000 yuan, in fact, Zhuang Yan doesn't really care about the 50,000 yuan, what he has now is money, and the royalty publishing house of "Alive" alone has already settled with him more than 8 million, and the remaining half has not yet been settled. In other words, now that he is also a multimillionaire, how can he look at the 50,000 yuan.

So we still have to go back to the previous topic, the economic foundation restricts the creation of many people, most of the people who are high-spirited and bright, basically people who are well-fed and warm, if they are really poor, it is difficult to say whether they can still be so clean.

"Don't tell me about this kind of award in the future, it's sad to hear it. Zhuang Yan said.

Wang Lijian smiled and shook his head, "This is your own business, it's just that those organizers can't get your phone, and we can't easily give them your phone, since there is news of the award, we should also notify you." Besides, you think I want to be caught in the middle, not to mention the trouble, and the relationship is not easy to clarify, making our literary and artistic world like your Zhuang Yan's studio. ”

When he talked about the studio, Zhuang Yan remembered the matter of the writer's agent that he had considered before. He wants to find a writer's agent, but he doesn't know how to find it, many writers let their families serve as writers' economists, but he doesn't have a family, just Yang Zhao is an iron buddy, the other party is not a professional in this area, not to mention, he also has his own career, it is impossible to come over to be his agent.

Thinking of this, he asked Wang Lijian: "Brother Zijian, do you know where to find a writer's agent?"

"Writer agent?" Wang Lijian nodded, "You really need someone to help you take care of these things, but the profession of writer agent is not too mature, and there are not many professional writer agents now, so it is difficult to find one." ”

"I know it's hard, otherwise I wouldn't have to ask you. Zhuang Yan said with a smile.

Wang Lijian pondered for a while and said, "That's it, I'll help you ask when I go back, but I can't guarantee that I can help you find it." In fact, you don't have to be a professional writer agent, find someone in the publishing industry, you should be able to do these things. ”

Zhuang Yan nodded, this is indeed a method, after all, the function of the writer's agent is similar to that of other star agents, which is nothing more than to help the writer negotiate and operate various derivatives of published works and IP resources.

Zhuang Yan wants to find a writer agent, but there are no other requirements, and the most important point is that he can save himself some energy in some business negotiations. Just like the last time I talked to Yu Hai about publishing, if he has a writer's agent, then he can leave it to the agent, he just needs to wait for the results.

However, not everyone can do it, this person must be familiar with the publishing market, and he must also be very familiar with the potential of the work, otherwise he will fall behind whether it is negotiating publishing or operating IP.

Zhuang Yan's eyes rolled, and he suddenly said, "I don't see that there are many talents on your literary and art websites, so it's better to dial one or two for me." ”

The corners of Wang Lijian's eyes jumped, and he said with a smile, "It's good that you want to dig the foot of the wall from me." ”

Zhuang Yan said with a shy face, "It's not that you have a great career in the literary and art circles and are full of talents." ”

Wang Lijian shook his head, "It's impossible to ask me to send someone to you, but if you take a fancy to someone, and the other party agrees to go with you, I won't stop it, of course I can't stop it, it depends on your ability." ”

Zhuang Yan blinked and asked with a smile, "Can anyone?"

Wang Lijian nodded, "Of course, as long as people are willing, the people in the company can dig whatever you want." ”

Zhuang Yan smiled slyly, "Okay, I want your assistant Wang Yuanshan." ”
