Zhang Chu really hasn't read "Poetry Magazine", who would have nothing to do to read this kind of literary magazine, if you want to see something like "Bosom Friend", "Story Club", "Youth Digest", "Yilin", "Sports Weekly" and the like.

This magazine is well-known in the literary world, but it is too high and low among ordinary people, and it does not have much entertainment value.

It is difficult to sell it in ordinary bookstores and newsstands, but it is a medium-yang poetry journal under the supervision of the Chinese Writers Association, where contemporary poets have become famous and popular.

For those who love poetry, this is the Bible in their hearts!

"I know the Poetry Magazine, but is that poem really suitable for posting?"

Zhang Chu himself has become a little unconfident, if it is Haizi's original version of "Facing the Sea, Spring Blossoms", there will be no problem in "Poetry Magazine".

The problem is that this version of "Journey to the West Diary" is an adapted and spoofed fun version, which is really difficult to get into the elegant hall.

Ma Qiwei said with a smile: "Of course it's suitable." I'm not worried about that, what are you worried about! I'll write a review for you myself. ”

Even if Zhang Chu doesn't know the name Ma Qiwei, his identity as the editor-in-chief of "Poetry Magazine" is still very bluffing, and it should be considered a very high treatment for the editor-in-chief to write an evaluation of this poem.

"In that case, then I might as well be respectful. ”

Zhang Chu didn't want to be infamous when he first appeared in the literary world, for a writer, reputation is still quite important.

"And how will the manuscript fee be paid to you?"

Although the standard of manuscript fees for poetry magazines is very low, a poem like Zhang Chu can only have a few hundred yuan, and the money that should be given must be a lot.

"Donate it for me, not to the Red Cross. Zhang Chu does not guarantee that there will be no Guo Meimei in the Red Cross Society in this life.

Zhang Chu really wanted to hand over Haizi's original poems at this time, but after thinking about it, this is a good way to promote "Journey to the West Diary".

After all, he is not Haizi, there is no sign of suicide by lying on the rails, and future generations will not bring this background into it when interpreting it.

It's a difficult thing for decent poetry to come to life, but it's better to be surprising, at least there will be more people who pay attention to it!

After Zhang Chu hung up the phone, he still couldn't believe that the fanfiction "Sherlock" and the mystery novel "Psychological Crime" that he had written before were both in the category of popular literature.

Now with the adapted poem in "Journey to the West Diary", he has entered the sight of the bigwigs of "Poetry Magazine", and is about to enter serious literature.

Of course, no one else knows that this poem in which the monkey is the protagonist is adapted, in their opinion, this is all Zhang Chu's improvisational work, which belongs to the new poem.

Compared with the quatrains of ancient poetry, this poem is not particular about the format and rhyme.

Zhang Chu can already foresee that when the new issue of "Poetry Magazine" is released, when that group of old-fashioned people suddenly drills such a poem in a group of poems, will the dentures in their mouths fall out?

……

Even when it was time to eat lunch, Zhang Chu was still a little calm, he quickly finished the rice in his bowl, and said to Zhang Bowen and Chu Lan: "The poem I wrote on Weibo is going to be published in "Poetry Magazine", what do you think?"

"It's good. ”

Chu Lan replied very perfunctorily, she didn't hear what her son was talking about at all, and she was still regretting and complaining about the wrong mahjong in the morning.

Zhang Bowen also echoed and said: "Not bad, good, amazing." ”

This kind of joy of wanting to share made Zhang Chu very uncomfortable, and his good friends couldn't realize the power of publishing a spoof poem on the "Poetry Magazine".

When he got back to his room, he turned on his computer and looked at his data.

At this time, the readers of "Psychological Crime" have rebelled several times, asking about the progress of publication every day, and they can't wait to see the finale sooner.

At this time, it happened that the editor Gu Xinxue was online, and Zhang Chu also poked in and asked.

"Editor Gu, when will my copy of "Psychological Crime" be released?"

Gu Xinxue is actually very tired from working every day, but Zhang Chu is a writer with more potential who he has tapped at present, so he will naturally cheer up.

"I have already got the book number from the General Administration of Press and Publication, and the artist has completed the design and typesetting, and now I am waiting for printing, and it is estimated that it will take half a month to really go on the market. ”

In fact, this speed is already quite fast, and many works have to be repeatedly revised and then submitted to the superior for review, sometimes it takes four or five months.

Zhang Chu sighed, he would have gone to Yanjing in half a month, and he had to be scolded for so long, all of which were self-inflicted, and there was no way.

"And how is Sherlock selling now?" he hadn't paid attention to the work in a long time.

Gu Xinxue quickly switched to the report, took a screenshot after searching, and said: "The physical book has sold 180,000 copies so far, and the e-book has sold 260,000 copies, which is still quite good." It is already the best-selling mystery work in 2018. ”

The reputation of this fanwork is indeed not bad, and the ratings of Douban Reading, Amazon and other places are above eight points, and the stamina is very strong.

Just in the reasoning group, there are many people who envy him, this kind of anti-heaven trend is not something that can be achieved casually!

Especially after Zhang Chu is now famous, the popularity on the Internet has been transformed into popularity in reality, and "Detective Sherlock" can be seen in the top 200 of the General Administration of Press and Publication every day.

Even if this ranking is not top-notch, it is also a skill to be able to stabilize at the bottom.

"After the prediction of our marketing department, maybe "Psychological Crime" will not be as good as "Detective Sherlock" in terms of sales, this book is an original reasoning work, and the topic is not strong enough. So you have to be mentally prepared. ”

Zhang Chu knew that this was the truth, and he replied with a grinning expression, "It depends on the readers how much to sell or how little to sell, and there is nothing I can do on my side." ”

If there is no quality, Zhang Chu will not pay attention even if he shouts his throat.

"Sherlock" has sold nearly 500,000 books, but Zhang Chu has not received any follow-up manuscript fees in his hands now, and the speed of settlement is too slow.

If you really need money urgently, it's too late!

Domestic publishing houses rarely use the method of large advance payment of manuscript fees as in foreign countries, and they all use the payment in installments, and then pay the manuscript fee after printing.

Fortunately, Zhang Chu doesn't have any money now, he wants to help his father expand the scale of Hanlinxuan Bookstore, which is also the place where he gnawed on the old in his previous life.

It's not something to be done right away, though, and a little slower is acceptable.
