Chapter 163: Tan Peng's Poetry Collection
Another reporter immediately stood up and asked, "Editor-in-chief, do you want to contact other authors?" I heard that writer Zhang Teng has created a new martial arts work! After the failure of "Flying Sword" last time, he must have learned a lesson and was able to break through his limitations. ”
When Li Xiong heard this, he said again and again: "Editor-in-chief, why don't you wait for Mr. Jiang's work first? Maybe it's a good work?"
Xu Fei, a fat reporter who has always been at odds with Li Xiong, said sarcastically: "Wait? Why wait for Jiang Ming's works? Don't you know what the audience of the literary section of our newspaper is? I know that Jiang Ming's writing should be good, but if the audience is different, it is useless!"
It's like a child likes to read a fairy tale, and if you show a book that only adults can understand to a child, will the child like it? Of course not!
That's what the audience says.
Everyone fell silent.
Xu Fei saw that everyone was quiet, and said to himself: "So you don't need to read Mr. Jiang's works, but genre doesn't work in our newspaper." And I have read the beginning of Zhang Teng's new book "Legend", and it is very well written. I think 250 thousand words can be given. ”
Li Xiong muttered: "But many readers have written to me, hoping that the homepage of the next issue of the literary edition A will also be Jiang Ming's article......"
Give Zhang Teng 250 thousand words? He thinks Zhang Teng is a 205!
Obviously I have already tore them up in the daily newspaper, and I dare to submit it back? It's just death!
The editor-in-chief sighed deeply and said, "Let's wait for Mr. Jiang's work first, and if it doesn't work, we'll contact other martial arts writers." ”
Xu Fei's face was cold, the editor-in-chief meant that he wouldn't want Zhang Teng, right?
He didn't believe it, a detective, the editor-in-chief really dared to accept it?
Because "Guoshu" became popular in "Jianghai Daily", many members of the Jianghai Writers Association wanted to contribute to it. So there is actually no shortage of articles in their daily newspapers.
Soon, Jiang Ming sent 5,000 words to Li Xiong's mailbox......
Li Xiong looked at the Westerner writing on it and exclaimed, "I didn't expect Mr. Jiang to be able to write this purely Western style." ”
If he hadn't known that this person was a Chinese, he would have thought that this was a translated Western work!
Li Xiong muttered: "I didn't expect that writing a detective case can be so thrilling? Who killed Shaya, and can Mitheus find evidence?"
In his previous life, Jiang Ming didn't want to stop studying because he was dropped out of school, he had taken adult self-exams and read a lot of books. He is very obsessed with "Sherlock Holmes", and he chased all the anime "Detective Conan" without losing one episode, but even when he died, he didn't see the finale of Conan......
It's easy for him to write a detective book.
Li Xiong took a deep breath and said to the editor-in-chief: "Editor-in-chief, the plot of this "Detective Mitheus Collection" is very compact, there are no superfluous words, and it is fascinating. I think the disadvantage is that this protagonist is a Britishman, and the writing style is more Westernized, which may not be easy for readers to bring in, and the rest is quite perfect. ”
Li Xiongdu thought that Jiang Ming would deliberately write ugly, and then abort their cooperation, who knew that the quality of this detective collection was very high!
Now the editorial department is in trouble.
Suddenly, Li Xiong shouted, "Wait, there seems to be a second document in the mailbox?"
Li Xiong clicked on it and exclaimed, "What's the matter? It's actually a style that is biased towards classical Chinese?"
Who writes essays in this era, and who still uses so many Chinese words?
"Journey to the West"?
"The First Round: The Spiritual Root Cultivation Origins Outflow, and the Spiritual Cultivation Dao Birth"
Li Xiong printed out the beginnings of both books and showed them to everyone in the editorial department. Everyone is relatively cultured, so this "Journey to the West" can be understood.
The editor-in-chief looked at "Journey to the West" and sighed in admiration: "I think the geniuses in this world must be indispensable to Mr. Jiang! Both the detective collection and this "Journey to the West" have flaws, the former lacks a sense of substitution, and the latter ...... Readers with a low level of education may not be able to understand ......"
When Xu Fei heard this, he hurriedly said, "Editor-in-chief, what do you mean? These two are not martial arts." ”
The editor-in-chief glanced at it and said, "Who said that our literary version is positioned as martial arts? Li Xiong!"
Li Xiong immediately stood up and looked at the editor-in-chief with burning eyes.
"Discuss the price of the two books with Mr. Jiang. This "Detective Mitheus Collection" is updated once every two days, and this "Journey to the West" is updated once every three days. ”
Xu Fei was half angry, and said again and again: "Editor-in-chief, you have to think twice! There are problems with these two books." Don't you really think about Zhang Teng's new book "Legend"?"
Li Xiong couldn't help but say: "Reporter Xu Fei, why do you always mention Zhang Teng as a writer? You can't accept Zhang Teng's benefits, right?"
Xu Fei froze, as if he had been poked in the heart, and he glared at Li Xiong viciously: "Nonsense!"
The editor-in-chief took a deep breath: "It's decided." ”
Xu Fei sighed and left the editorial office to call Zhang Teng.
Zhang Teng smiled and asked, "Reporter Xu Fei, how is it? Did your newspaper agree?"
Zhang Teng is very satisfied with his new book, and there is absolutely no problem with that.
Xu Fei said: "Because of Jiang Ming's two books, the editor-in-chief didn't answer to your ......"
Zhang Teng's smile stiffened on his face for a moment, and he looked ahead in disbelief.
Again...... Is it because of Jiang Ming again?
That high school student?
Xu Fei comforted: "I've read it, those two books are going to hit the street, one audience has a problem, and the other ordinary reader can't understand it at all." ”
Zhang Teng gritted his teeth, his eyes gloomy: "Good ......" He wants to see what new tricks Jiang Ming has written!
……
Jiang Ming was sitting in the classroom reading a book, He Guofei and they were discussing the finale of "Guoshu", Zhang Kang and Cao Hong were trying to persuade the classmates to sign up for the sports meeting, and there was a commotion in the classroom.
Suddenly, there was a burst of exclamations from the girls outside.
"Oh my God, it's Senior Tan Peng in the third year of high school! He is the number one talent in our Jianghai No. 1 Middle School. ”
"Why are you here in our sophomore year of high school? Who is he looking for?"
"What is the thing that Senior Tan Peng is holding in his hand? It seems to be a book?"
A group of girls blushed as they watched Tan Peng walk towards Jiang Ming's classroom, followed by several former members of the Poetry Society.
Tan Peng knocked on the door, and the girls in the second and third classes of high school screamed in surprise: "So handsome! Senior Tan Peng is handsome and talented!"
Cao Hong immediately stepped forward and said flatteringly: "Senior Tan Peng, are you here to find me?"
Tan Peng smiled: "I'm here to find you, Xie Wei and ...... Jiang Ming's. ”
Jiang Ming was stunned and raised his head in some surprise.
Tan Peng signaled to the people behind him.
A boy from the previous poetry club immediately came over with a book and gave Cao Hong and Xie Wei one each.
Cao Hong saw "by Tan Peng" written in the corner, and the whole person was stunned.
Senior Tan Peng has published a book?
Tan Peng took a clean book, walked towards Jiang Ming with a kind smile, and said, "Jiang Ming, let's get to know each other anyway." Senior Tan Peng: I published a collection of poems some time ago, this is a sample book sent to me by the publishing house, and I want to give one to each member of the poetry club. ”
Tan Peng stuffed the book into Jiang Ming's arms as he spoke.
The onlookers were stunned.
"When I went, I actually published a book, or a collection of poems? Sure enough, he deserves to be the first genius in our Jianghai No. 1 Middle School!"
"When will it be officially listed? I must buy Tan Peng's poems!"
Cao Hong was also surprised, and he said complimentingly: "Senior Tan Peng really deserves to be Senior Tan Peng, and he can publish a collection of poems on a busy day like the third year of high school." It's not like some people who think that publishing one or two articles in the school magazine is awesome and hanging. Cao Hong also glanced at Jiang Ming deliberately.
Jiang Ming looked at Cao Hong meaningfully and didn't answer him.
Tan Peng said modestly: "It's just my first time publicizing. ”
Tan Peng's heart was already happy, he would definitely not be able to beat Jiang Ming in terms of force, but no matter how much he published a book, wouldn't he be able to beat Jiang Ming in literature!
Jiang Ming stretched out his hand to take Tan Peng's poetry collection, he flipped through it, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
What the hell is this writing? Can this be called poetry?
Jiang Ming said with a smile: "That's really congratulations to Senior Tan Peng, for coming up with such a masterpiece!"
Tan Peng felt a little proud when he heard this.
Jiang Ming asked again: "I don't know how many percent points Senior Tan Peng took for this book, is it ten percent?"
Tan Peng's face froze.
Wait, how did Jiang Ming know such a professional vocabulary?
Jiang Ming is talking about royalties.
He Meixin, who came along, said dissatisfiedly: "Jiang Ming, why do you ask about this kind of thing, how much do you care about Tan Peng?"
Jiang Ming just smiled and said, "Well, no matter how much you take, as long as it's not published at your own expense." ”
Tan Peng's face became even more ugly.
It was because his poetry collection was not wanted by a publishing house that he ended up publishing it at his own expense......
It will be available in a few days......
He Meixin sneered: "How can it be published at your own expense? Tan Peng's book will definitely be able to make a lot of money." ”
Jiang Ming shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Oh." ”
He Meixin only felt that a fist hit the cotton, and it was useless.
Tan Peng said with some embarrassment: "My poetry book is on the market this week, I want to ask you, do you want to go to the book city with me? ”
Cao Hong immediately raised his hand: "Of course I want to go, I want to witness the appearance of the book of the number one talent in our Jianghai No. 1 Middle School!"
Xie Wei also nodded: "Senior, then I'll go too." ”
Jiang Ming saw that everyone was looking at him, and he was surprised: "Do you think I'm idle? Of course I won't go!"
Tan Peng's face turned white with anger from Jiang Ming, he snorted coldly from his nose, turned around and left.
Jiang Ming, you kid will wait for me. When my book is on the market, I will be firmly on the throne of the number one talent in Jianghai No. 1 Middle School! It is useless for you to write a few sour poems.
Jiang Ming thought about it, and suddenly sent a message to Li Xiongfei's buckle.
[Jiang Ming: Reporter Li Xiong, didn't you say last time that I would hold a signing meeting for the publication of "Guoshu"? ]
When Li Xiong saw this news, he was overjoyed and immediately told the publishing house. The publishing house began to prepare.
