Chapter 35: The Sky Filled with Dead Fish

The articles "Far Town" and "North" in the year of Qi Jin will be published in "Soloist". Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"North" was something that Gu Bei had long taken a fancy to, and he didn't expect Qi Jinnian to write "Far Town" so quickly.

In Gu Bei's impression, "Far Town" was only published on "Island" in 2003, and now Qi Jin Nian has brought out this article, indicating that she wrote it when she debuted, but the current Qi Jin Nian's pen power is obviously not as strong as that of later generations, Gu Bei, the old editor, and Qi Jin Nian talked about this article for a long time, and repeatedly revised and polished it before they were satisfied.

After that, Gu Bei found a group of writers under Tianya and the banyan tree one after another, and the general Gu Bei looked down on him, and singled out the top young writers who would shine in the next few years, such as Rao Xueman, who became popular all over the country with "Left Ear" The "Word Witch";

At this time, they were not yet famous, and their worth was not high, so Corporal Gu Bei Lixian made an appointment at the price of 150 words per thousand.

Rao Xueman gave a short story "The Night of Salem".

Li Silly gave two essays, "The Sky Full of Dead Fish" and "Two Teenagers".

After Gu Bei read it, he had only one thought in his heart: Lord is going to get rich!

Of course, in order to get the manuscripts of these future top writers, Gu Bei paid a lot of price, he spent 10,000 yuan on the manuscript fee alone, all out of his own pocket, no way, it is too difficult to get funds from the student union, but when the next student union meeting, he still has to talk about the manuscript fee.

The manuscript for the first issue of "The Soloist" is basically complete, and the next work is the layout design.

Gu Bei knows that whether a magazine can sell well, in addition to finding a good story, it also needs to use smooth language, wonderful photos and appropriate typography to create a pleasing combination, and the unique temperament of this combination is the source of the magazine's vitality and influence.

The editors of the academic department are all newcomers, typesetting and illustration are half-baked level, Gu Bei taught by hand, personally designed typesetting, formulated covers, inserts, table of contents, page numbers, titles, illustrations, immersed in the magazine media industry for more than ten years, Gu Bei's aesthetic ability to the magazine is not comparable to the current people, in 2016 people to flip through those magazines in the early 20th century, you will find that it is full of stale and dull feeling.

Gu Bei imitated the magazine style of "Soloist" in his previous life, striving to be exquisite and simple, and showing his youthful personality from a unique perspective.

As for the content of the magazine, it is completely different from the "Solo Singer" in the previous life, for example, Qi Jiannian wrote serious literature that belongs to youth literature; Rao Xueman is biased towards the pain of youth, and Li Silly's prose is a kind of pure nature after stripping away the vulgar; and Gu Bei's "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" is a popular tomb robbery story of youth and blood, all in all, the new version of "Solo Singer" in Gu Bei's hand includes various types of youth novels, whether it is a mule or a horse, and it can only be known by pulling it out and slipping around.

Monday Student Council Ministers' Meeting.

This retrospective Beixue is smart, and the last one to arrive.

When Gu Bei walked into the conference room with Jin Shengze's laptop, Liao Jie, the Minister of Finance, was staring at him with a cold face, Gu Bei thought that this little kid had a big temper, and he had been holding a grudge since he was cheated once, and every time he had a meeting, he had a stinky face and wanted to bite him.

Gu Ye didn't bother to take care of him, and sat down on the chair gracefully.

The meeting began, and the ministers reported on their work.

When it was Gu Bei's turn, Zhang Hanyi, the president of the student union, said, "Minister Gu, do you have anything to say?"

Gu Bei sat up straight, he came prepared today, and he made a lot of opinions and was ready to fire, but now the chairman asked him to speak by name, then it would be disrespectful.

Gu Bei coughed and said: "What I want to talk about today is some of the situation of "Solo Singer", one is that the first issue of "Solo Singer" will be released at the end of November, and I hope that the Propaganda Department can cooperate with the Academic Department to carry out a round of publicity and momentum; ”

Zhang Han also frowned and said: "Hasn't the predecessor of "Solo Singer" always been a free solicitation for manuscripts?"

Gu Beidao: "Yes, but I think this way of soliciting manuscripts for free is unreasonable, because the quality of these free manuscripts is very poor, and we need to pay for manuscripts if we want to receive high-quality manuscripts. ”

"Minister Gu, it's very difficult for me to do this all of a sudden, the manuscript fee of the Academic Department is not in the budget of the Finance Department, and I can't get this money. Liao Jie, Minister of Finance, did not hesitate to object.

He is worried that he can't make a trip to Gu Bei, this retrospective Bei begs to his door, see if the master doesn't kill you!

"The finance department doesn't have any money, right?" Gu Bei nodded: "It's okay, I'll ask Secretary Yuan Ye for it tomorrow." ”

Liao Jie almost choked to death by this sentence.

Is this kid a hooligan? Ahhh

"Since its inception, "Solo Singer" has been free of charge, and its positioning is to give literature lovers a platform to display their talents. Liao Jie stared at Gu Beidao: "Minister Gu, you are from the Chinese department, you should understand this simple truth better than me!"

Gu Beidao: "What Minister Liao Jie said is very reasonable, but have you ever thought that it is we who limit the "Soloist" to a campus magazine, which has caused the stagnation of the "Soloist" and the quality has never been improved, and now I am the editor-in-chief of the "Soloist", I have the responsibility and obligation to make it bigger and better, and my idea is to commercialize the "Soloist" and not be limited to the internal supply of Xize. That's the crux of the matter, what is commercialization without quality?"

Liao Jie sneered and asked, "Commercialization?" How many magazines can you sell a month?"

Gu Bei stretched out his palm: "Five thousand copies of the first issue." ”

As soon as the words fell, everyone looked at Gu Bei inexplicably.

This kid is too big to be ashamed, right?

The predecessor of "Solo Singer", "Nishizawa Pioneer", itself is a free internal supply magazine, to be honest, there are only two uses for this thing, to pad the table and wipe the buttocks, now Gu Beiyan is not ashamed to engage in commercialization, and what is even more ridiculous is that he set a goal of 5,000 copies when he opened his mouth, what is this special not a joke?

If you can sell 500 copies, it's the ancestral tomb that smokes!

Liao Jie laughed angrily, perhaps because the contradiction with Gu Bei was too deep, he couldn't help but mock: "What a big breath, Minister Gu, if your magazine sells 5,000 copies, I can kneel down and call you dad." ”

Gu Bei leaned back in his chair and said, "I don't want a son like you. ”

Liao Jie "snapped" and stood on the table, glaring at Gu Bei angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, since you are so capable, let's make a bet!"

Gu Bei-for-tat: "What kind of gambling method?"

Liao Jie said: "If "Solo Singer" sells 5,000 copies, I will run around the LUO of the Longling Campus in Xize, if it does not reach this number, you will run LUO!"

Gu Bei smiled: "You said how adult-like you are, don't you feel naΓ―ve to do this kind of thing?"

Liao Jie, a junior old bird, was ridiculed for being naΓ―ve by the freshmen, and almost fainted: "Don't talk nonsense, you just dare to say it!"

Gu Bei nodded: "Cheng, since you want to bet on me, but let's change the gambling method, there is an orphanage on Furong Street, all of them are abandoned babies who were born and abandoned, which is quite pitiful, or we will each take 10,000 yuan as a bet, and whoever loses will take out the money and donate it to the orphanage." ”

"Ten thousand?"

Liao Jie said: "How many pieces of steel hammer do you have in your pocket?"

Gu Beidao: "This doesn't have to worry about Minister Liao, we can let Chairman Zhang be a notary, 10,000 yuan, and give her the money for safekeeping today, do you dare to take it?"

Liao Jie said with a cold face: "Ye Feng accompanyed, but Luo Ben's bet remains the same." ”

Gu Bei nodded: "OK, let's go back and give the money to Chairman Zhang." ”

"Have you two made enough trouble?" At this time, Zhang Hanyi, who was watching coldly, finally spoke: "This is the student union, you are the minister, this is not a place for you to fight for will!"

Liao Jie said: "Chairman, my bet with Gu Bei is a private matter. ”

"Yes, it's a private matter. "It is rare for Gu Bei and Liao Jie to stand on the same front.

"I don't care about your private affairs, but I don't want to hear this topic now, and I ask you two not to bring personal grievances to the student union!" Zhang Hanyi was obviously also angry with Gu Bei and Liao Jie: "Do you have any other questions?

Gu Bei raised his hand: "I still have opinions." ”

When the ministers heard this, they had a headache, and this guy was really a troublemaker, and everyone was uncomfortable.

"Your opinion is reserved for now. ”

Zhang Han also said expressionlessly: "Now the meeting is dismissed, Gu Bei stays!"

When the ministers heard this, they immediately flashed, Liao Jie didn't forget to say to Gu Bei when he left, don't forget our bet, obviously he has already won the game, in fact, everyone thinks that Gu Bei is sick, a free campus magazine without promotion and sales channels, the opening is to sell 5,000 copies, isn't this a brain disease?

"Gu Bei, I feel that you are very proud. ”

Gu Bei turned his head and saw Zhang Hanyi staring at him with a cold face, and couldn't help but smile: "The chairman is serious, and he is terrified. ”

"Panic?" Zhang Han also snorted: "It's funny, I don't think you paid attention to anyone, you came to the student union specifically to dismantle the stage!"

Gu Bei corrected: "This is called not breaking and not standing. ”

Zhang Han also said: "You are a strong word!"

Gu Beidao: "If it is reasonable, I will take it." ”

Zhang Hanyi said with a cold face: "It seems that I am not your opponent." ”

Gu Bei smiled: "It's not too late to understand this now." ”

Zhang Han also said: "You said what you said to me just now, right?"

Gu Bei nodded: "It doesn't matter if they agree or not, after all, the chairman's nod counts." Let's not talk about the manuscript fee for the first issue, I know Chairman Zhang, you are also very difficult, but the first issue of "Solo Singer" has to print 5,000 copies, Chairman Zhang, do you want to help me say hello to the leaders of the school's Youth League Committee and provide a little financial help?"

Zhang Han also said: "Five thousand copies? I said Gu Bei, where did you get so much confidence?"

Gu Bei spread his hands: "Actually, I want to print 10,000 copies." ”

Zhang Hanyi was really speechless, and after a long time he nodded and said: "Gu Bei, let me tell you what is in my heart, you want to make a drastic revision of "Solo Singer", this is very good, it is good to have ideas, it is better than messing around, but you should know that rules are rules, and if you want to destroy this rule, then first you should make a little achievement to prove that you have the ability to establish a better rule!"

Gu Bei was waiting for this sentence.

Little girl, no matter how good you are, you can't escape the palm of Gu Ye's palm!

Gu Bei put the laptop computer on the conference table, and after turning it on, he called up the electronic version of the first issue of "The Solo Singer", and then pushed the computer in front of Zhang Hanyi, who looked inexplicable, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, please give me a lot of advice." ”

Zhang Han's teeth itched with hatred.

This kid opens his mouth and closes his mouth, but there is a hint of respect!

No matter how you say it, she is also a senior student, the senior sister of the third class of Gao Gubei, the general leader of the student union, looking at the tens of thousands of students in Xize, who sees her is not flattering in every way, only this Gu Bei, as if an adult treats a child, he doesn't take her in his eyes at all.

"Smack"!

Zhang Han also closed the computer: "I'm not in the mood to watch it now, it's almost two o'clock, I'm hungry, you can send me the electronic version of "Solo Singer" in my mailbox, and I'll watch it at night." ”

Gu Bei nodded: "Cheng." ”

Zhang Han also got up to leave, and when she walked to the door, she couldn't help but turn around and ask, "You won't really bet with Liao Jie, right?"

Gu Bei smiled: "Chairman Zhang is waiting to appreciate Liao Jie LUO Ben, although this kid has a big temper and a lower IQ, his appearance and figure are still good." ”

Zhang Han also snorted: "I'm afraid that it will be you who will run for LUO then!"

Gu Beidao: "Then Chairman Zhang remembered to go to the show, my figure is better than Liao Jie." ”

Zhang Han also grabbed the notebook and smashed it.
