"Editor-in-chief, did you call me? Did you find something wrong with the article?" Fu Xing's heart hung when he entered the editor-in-chief's room, Jin Heshi had been in it for so long just now, he must have been talking about Chen Yu'an's article, he seemed to be opposed to publishing this article just now, the editor-in-chief should not be moved by him, right?

"No, I just forgot to tell you, I plan to mention Chen Yu'an's manuscript fee, what do you think of mentioning 15 thousand words? Zhao Tianchang said, if it weren't for Chen Yu'an's lack of fame now, and it was a little difficult to explain, he would have wanted to raise Chen Yu'an's manuscript fee standard to the same level as Han Han.

"Eighty thousand words is a bit low, but ......" Fu Xing paused, he originally wanted to strive for Chen Yu'an to be higher, but when he thought that there were so many authors, it seemed a little bad to improve rashly, so he changed his words halfway through, "One thousand words and one hundred and five words are almost enough for now, I will send him an email back and tell him the good news." ”

"After all, this is his second article, if there are new works in the future, and the market feedback is good, it will be too late to raise the price then, and you have to make it clear to him. Authors need "Sprout", and "Sprout" is also in urgent need of high-quality authors, and Zhao Tianchang is also afraid that Chen Yu'an will not be satisfied with the manuscript fee and switch to other magazines.

"yes, I see. Fu Xing turned around to leave, but when he walked to the door, he stopped and asked, "By the way, editor-in-chief, do you want to invite him to participate in the New Concept Essay Contest? ”

In terms of strength, Chen Yu'an is definitely standard, but he did not indicate that it was a new concept essay contest entry when he submitted, so he was not allowed to submit.

"Of course you have to invite!" Zhao Tianchang said decisively, this article "Is the post-80s really the 'Beat Generation'?" will cause a sensation after it is published, and Chen Yuan will also become the same topic as Han Han, who dropped out of school.

For this reason alone, Zhao Tianchang also hopes that Chen Yu'an can come to the magic capital to participate in the competition, "You go and tell Chen Yu'an that the next time you submit, you can indicate the words of the entries in the New Concept Essay Contest on the email, no...... You tell him directly that he has passed the preliminary round, just wait for the notice of the rematch, and it is best to ask for his phone number, so as not to happen the same thing as Han Han that year. ”

Han Han missed the official semi-final because he didn't receive the invitation to the semi-finals, but fortunately, his home is in the magic capital, which is more convenient, and he can prepare for an exam alone;

Zhao Tianchang was also afraid that Chen Yu'an would be busy with his studies and would not have time to submit new manuscripts to "Sprout" magazine, so he directly gave him a place to participate in the semi-finals.

Because of the venue and the train tickets for non-local contestants, the number of places is relatively limited, and there are only about 200 semi-final places in each of the first two worlds, of which there are about 100 in the high school group, Chen Yuan has now finalized one, and the other more than 10,000 contestants can only compete for the remaining 99 places.

"It's for the best. Fu Xing also had the same worry, and when he heard this, he was much more relaxed, and hurriedly went out to write an email, while Zhao Tianchang picked up Chen Yu'an's article again and read it.

Just now he and Jin Heshi said that the times need to be debated, in fact, "Sprout" needs to argue even more, because of the magazine revision and the first two new concept essay contests, "Sprout" magazine has gradually come out of the predicament and has made some improvement, but there is still a considerable gap from the peak of the 80s.

Therefore, we must seize every opportunity, and Chen Yu'an's article gave them a good opportunity, when the "Chinese Youth" magazine became a smash hit because of Pan Xiao's article "The Road of Life, How to Go Narrower and Narrower", and letters discussing this topic flew to the "China Youth" magazine from all over the country like snowflakes.

Not only did it drive a heated discussion for half a year, but also the influence and sales of "China Youth" magazine were also rising, and when he saw this article, his first reaction was whether he could reproduce the myth of "China Youth" and make "Sprout" magazine a communication platform for a generation.

If this can be achieved, "Sprout" magazine will also become the first choice for teenagers to read, just like "Chinese Youth", and its influence and sales are self-evident.

Judging from Zhao Tianchang's many years of experience in the media industry, this situation is very likely to happen, and the only thing to worry about now is to protect Chen Yu'an's identity and not let this turmoil interfere with his life; therefore, first of all, we must ensure that his true identity cannot be revealed, and secondly, we must first greet him, let him be careful in the local area, and not easily accept interviews with reporters.

After thinking about these, Zhao Tianchang found other manuscripts in this issue and began to think about how to arrange the layout order of this issue, as well as the cover, or I can write a special article and recommend this article at the beginning of the journal "Is the post-80s really the 'Beat Generation'?" by the way, I can also help Chen Yu'an share some of the pressure.

As soon as he thought of this, Zhao Tianchang picked up the pen and paper, began to frown and think about it seriously, and wrote the first line for a long time, "When people are older, they will always feel twisted when they see all kinds of fresh behaviors and behaviors of young people...... And influenced by many articles in the past, I used to have a bad impression of the post-80s generation, but since I became the editor-in-chief of "Sprout" magazine, I have seen so many excellent articles written by young writers, and my perception of them has changed greatly......"

"Recently, I received another article from the post-80s generation shouting for their name, and after reading it, I pondered for a long time and began to reflect on my prejudices in the past years......"

"This article effectively rebuffs those inexplicable slanders against the post-80s, and highlights the spirit and spirit of the post-80s......."

Zhao Tianchang is thinking hard about his article, Chen Yu'an is ushering in a rare time to relax, Friday is here in a blink of an eye, last week because there was no holiday for the preliminary exam, this weekend they can finally rest.

"Yu An, let's play football together tomorrow morning?" As soon as school ended, Yu Jiangfeng rushed to his seat.
