Winter is already coming, will spring be far away?

This poem, even if it was placed in a previous life, is familiar to everyone.

It's just that many people don't know who said this sentence.

The charm of this poem can already be seen in Chinese translation, let alone the original English poem.

When Huang Yifan sent out this "Ode to the West Wind", Anne had no sleep all night.

Looking at this poem, Anne has read it dozens of times. However, every time I read it, I have a different feeling. Especially the last line, winter has come, will spring be far away? This poem seems to be like the warmest sunshine, instantly soothing Anne's heart that has been frozen.

It turns out that I have been so lonely these years. Looking at the endless night, Anne thought back to the past.

The previous self was so good and so admirable. At that time, I once enjoyed this kind of admiration, but when I gradually distanced myself from others, Anne suddenly found that there were fewer and fewer people in this world who could talk to her, and even, almost none.

Although many people are obsessed with Anne's beauty, Anne knows that they just like her appearance.

Huang Yifan.

What kind of person are you?

Is it a romantic poet like "Ding Wen"?

Or an angel sent down by God?

Suddenly, Anne became more and more interested in her student.

……

"Huang, you say, will anyone watch our movie then?"

It only took three days of editing, and Huang Yifan took the filmed "Once" to the American Film Association for film classification.

The so-called grading. That is to review which type of people the movie is suitable for.

The United States does not have an audit department like Huaguo Radio and Television. The review was conducted by the Motion Picture Association of America.

The Motion Picture Association of America classifies all films as G-rated. PG Grade, PG-13 Grade, R Grade, NC-17 Grade...... Wait.

The G class is the general public level, which is suitable for everyone to watch.

The PG level is also a normal level, but it is not suitable for children under the age of 13, and if you do, you must be accompanied by a parent.

The R level is called the restricted level. Under the age of 17 must have a parent or guardian to watch.

Nc-17 class, under 17 years old cannot be viewed.

Of course, in addition to these ratings, there are also some films that cannot be rated, and such films that have not been rated cannot be released in cinemas.

The movie "Once" is a musical romance, or an inspirational film, there is no sex, no nudity, no violence, and swear words in the film...... Wait. No surprises. It should be possible to divide it into a G grade.

Not surprisingly, if the grading of "Once" ends. Then, he can take it to the cinema line to play.

However, for this kind of amateur director, even the movies that have not been made by the company may not be accepted by the theater company.

Therefore, Huang Yifan, who is familiar with this, said, "If our movie can be released in theater companies, I think there will definitely be people watching it." However, the first thing we have to consider is whether there are any cinema companies willing to accept our films. ”

Now that technology is advanced, movies are not as good as before, and almost anyone can make movies, let alone these Americans. There are many movie enthusiasts who write and direct a movie at every turn, and some even make movies on DVD. is like Huang Yifan's "Once", speaking of which, it is also an extremely unprofessional movie.

Because of this, most of the movies made by some amateur players are generally reluctant to be released by cinema companies.

"Oh, Huang, you're right, I have a friend's father's classmate's relative who works in the cinema company, and we can go find him when the time comes. ”

"Relative ...... of classmate of friend father"

Huang Yifan shouted God and made a sad expression: "Okay, we can pull this relationship." ”

"Well, Huang, I know it's a bit unreliable, but you have to try, you say. It's my first time in a movie where I've played a leading role, and I think I'm doing a great job. Didn't you notice how charming I was playing the guitar in those scenes, and many school girls were dating me these days. However, I ignored them and fought for my dreams. ”

"Well, come on. ”

Huang Yifan was also used to Jack's boastful character, nodded and said.

After a brief communication with Jack, Huang Yifan returned to his room.

It's been a week since I sent Harry Potter a few days ago, and I'm almost ready to receive a text message reply.

With a hint of excitement, Huang Yifan logged into the mailbox.

Sure enough, 7 publishing houses have already replied to Huang Yifan in the mailbox.

It's just that when Huang Yifan opened one of the emails, Huang Yifan was surprised to find that the other party refused.

"I'm sorry that your work was not approved for publication, so please keep up your efforts. ”

A publishing house called "McGrash" wrote in an email reply to Huang Yifan.

Damn, no.

Seeing the rejected email, Huang Yifan couldn't believe it.

Nima, Harry Bot sold more than 400 million copies in his previous life, and was called the first magic book, but this publishing house actually rejected this work?

Do you have a vision?

despised the publishing house in his heart, Huang Yifan could only blame them for having no vision, and they didn't know how to make money if they were rich.

Hey, if they agree to publish, think about the hundreds of millions of copies sold around the world, that publishing house won't make a profit.

Forget it, they don't have vision, there are always other publishing houses that have vision, and then, Huang Yifan clicked on the second email.

Dramatically, the second email was also a rejection.

How so?

Huang Yifan was a little crazy, and then clicked on all 7 emails in a row.

As a result, all seven emails were written refusing to be published.

Even, two publishers even gave "Harry Port" a sadistic review: "Although children's literature does not require strong pen power, with your pen power, it is better to go back and write a diary for a few more years before trying to write a novel." ”

Another publisher commented: "This is the most bloody fantasy novel I've ever seen, and just like the name of this novel, how bad it is." ”

Pit.

Are these publishers taking the wrong medicine?

Some couldn't believe it, but in the end, Huang Yifan still accepted the facts. It seems that Rowling, the author of "Harry Potter" in the previous life, is said to have had twists and turns when publishing Harry Potter, and at the beginning, it was rejected by 11 publishers in a row. Although it was finally published, it was also a few years later.

It seems that the US publishing market needs to be studied as well.

Although it is very good to know that "Harry Potter" can definitely sell wildly in the future, the problem is that it is useless to know it, and others do not know. Moreover, sometimes literature is very strange, you say he is good, he is good, you say he is bad, sorry, he is really bad, which is why Van Gogh's paintings were not discovered until after his death.

A smart writer doesn't always bother with the lack of vision of others, and writing requires not only talent, but also judgment of the market.

For example, before writing a novel, let's take a look at the U.S. publishing market.

After thinking about it, Huang Yifan began to look up information on the American publishing market on the Internet.

A few hours later, Huang Yifan had a certain understanding of the American publishing market.

It turns out that American publishing attaches more importance to the fame of an author, and if an author who is not famous wants to publish, he will generally find a well-known author to recommend him, for example, let the well-known author write a preface to his work. Therefore, it is common for unknown authors to submit their manuscripts to publishers, and nine times out of ten they will be rejected. Unless, your work is very classic.

Harry Potter is not a classic, of course a classic, however, the classics are relative. Although Harry Potter is a work of magic, it is actually a piece of children's literature, or juvenile literature. From an adult point of view, Harry Potter is actually not that good.

In addition, American children's literature is generally only popular for short stories, and 40,000 words is already a long children's work. Beyond this number of words, the average child does not have the interest in reading, nor does he have the patience to read. Obviously, Harry Potter isn't just long-form, he's super long-form. If the whole collection were combined, it would be millions of words.

Are there any children willing to read millions of words of children's literature?

You may say yes, but the publisher won't believe it.

Obviously, if you want to open up the publishing market, then the first step is to make yourself famous.

And how to get famous?

The short story is the fastest direction for a writer to achieve fame.

So writes the American Writer's Guide to Becoming God.

Short stories?

In that case, I'll copy one first...... No, I'll write a short story first.

The feeling of ascending the realm is very good, even if Huang Yifan felt a little embarrassed to copy before, but now, he has become without a trace of feeling. Are you copying? No, when you come into this world, that's what you wrote. In the future, I think the world will soon produce one of the most critical and legendary writers in history.

After thinking about it, Huang Yifan wrote a few words on the document - "The Minister of the Imperial Mission".

The representative work of the famous writer "Gogol" in the previous life.
