Chapter 21 Invited Manuscripts
And the name Lin Feng is not unfamiliar, the first time I saw this name was in Binyang RI Newspaper, Binyang RI Newspaper editor-in-chief Zhao Tangyu wrote a comment about the strongest high school student in history, Lin Feng as a high school student, the level of Chinese completely exceeds the level of college students, right completely beyond the level of college students, I am not wrong, even if the article he made is published on my campus magazine, it is more than enough. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
I did a detailed investigation, but I found that Lin Feng, who is known as a genius writer, and the person who wrote these articles are the same person, no doubt.
Maybe most people have a question, a sixteen-year-old high school student, even if he is good at writing articles, does not mean that he can write novels, articles are at most five or six thousand words, less than 10,000 words, but novels are 100,000 words at every turn, whether the name of this genius writer is hype, at first I also had such doubts, will think like this.
However, after I finished reading "The Legend of Wukong", this doubt disappeared, Lin Feng used another angle to write Journey to the West, worried that the novel would not be able to read because of the naΓ―ve writing, don't worry, the text of the whole novel is similar to prose, writing a novel with prose penmanship, it will definitely look very messy, but Lin Feng has managed to integrate the characteristics of prose into the novel.
What are the characteristics of prose, this teacher should have seen and taught, the form is scattered but the meaning is not scattered, the whole novel is almost unfolded by the dialogue mode, which is a major test for the author in terms of text control, but Lin Feng has done it, and he is ashamed of himself.
Just from the writing point of view, the name of the genius novel is well-deserved, of course, this novel is not a novel with no content alone, and I have a particularly deep impression of the words that Sun Wukong said in the whole book-
God doesn't save anyone, only you can save you.
If you die, you can't change anything, but as long as you live, you can change everything.
It is true that relying on the mountains and mountains and relying on everyone to fall, only relying on oneself is the best.
It is true that only living people can change the world, and the Monkey King in the novel is a hero, a great hero, but few people can understand the loneliness of heroes.
"For me, any place is home. But some people put their home in a certain part of the world, so they can't find it, and they die on the road. β
"You're wrong. I'm not forgetting everything, I'm nothing. β
"You think you have a lot of paths to choose from, but there are so many invisible walls around you that you only have one way to go. β
Sometimes it's really like this, it's not that you forget everything, but you really have nothing, and that monkey is a hero, but he's also a lone monkey!
There was no other way out for the monkey, only one way out of the monkey.
This article by Zhuo Luo has at least increased the sales of "The Legend of Wukong" in the early stage.
On the first day, under the fiery publicity, Lin Feng, a rookie writer, sold 12,000 copies of "The Legend of Wukong".
The level of purchase varies from country to country, and if you sell about 50,000 copies a year in China on Earth, it is a bestseller, if you sell 200,000 copies, you can call it a super bestseller, and if you can buy 500,000 to 1 million copies, it is a super red book.
In this world, the purchasing power of people for books and the fight against piracy are very strong, and only 500,000 can become bestsellers.
But even so, selling 12,000 copies in the first RI is a remarkable feat. Of course, the city of Binyang has contributed the most, because although Deyun Publishing House is one of the top publishing houses in Binyang, its influence in Binyang is not so great, so with the sales of 12,000 copies in the first RI, Binyang contributed at least seven or eight thousand copies, and only sold three or four thousand copies by relying on the influence of the campus magazine.
However, Lin Feng is also completely famous, and now as long as Binyang cares a little about literature, he knows that Binzhong has produced a genius writer, at the age of sixteen, he not only wrote some evocative articles, but also published a novel, which is selling well, at least around Binyang, that is to say, Lin Feng is now a well-known writer.
It was for this reason that Lin Feng was treated like this as soon as he went to school the next day......
"Welcome, our beloved genius writer Lin Feng, back to the class, everyone applauds. Needless to say, the leader is naturally a fat man, this guy stood on the podium, and as soon as he saw Lin Feng enter the classroom, he encouraged the whole class.
A round of applause.
"Genius writer, you still have a few words for us. The fat man pulled Lin Feng down on the podium.
Lin Feng was speechless for a while, "What, there's nothing to say, in fact, the general process is that I inadvertently wrote a novel, and then inadvertently got the opportunity to publish it, so that's it." β
There was a boo below, obviously dissatisfied with his briefness, who inadvertently wrote a novel, and then inadvertently became a writer, to put it so lightly, you thought it was so easy to write a novel.
Of course, self-funded books don't count.
"Okay, okay, let's go back to our places and start classes in a while. "The disciplinary committee spoke, and it happened to be at this time that the head teacher came.
"Back to my place, I'm ready for class, and after class, Lin Feng will come to the teacher's office. "The first class is a math class, and the math class is a representative reading.
The math teacher came to class, and before class, he also teased Lin Feng, in fact, because of the search engine in his brain, Lin Feng didn't have to listen to the lecture at all, he only needed to search for the answer in his brain during the exam, which was really a complete cheat.
After class
"Lin Feng, sign the book for me quickly, in case you really become a world-famous writer after the fourth child, my books with signatures are very valuable. The fat man took out five or six copies of "The Legend of Wukong".
"You bought all six of these books?"
"Of course, this is Lin Feng's first book, but I believe this is not the last one, but of course the first book is very memorable, of course I want to buy a few copies for collection. β
The price of "The Legend of Wukong" is twenty-seven yuan, and the fat man bought six copies at a time, that is, more than 100 is almost a week's pocket money for the tiger, Ma Jun doesn't like to read, that is to say, he buys books not for the book to be good-looking, but for friendship sponsorship.
After signing six copies of "The Legend of Wukong", he went to the office.
"What's the matter with the teacher looking for me?" "The teacher read "The Legend of Wukong" and wrote it very well, next Monday, the flag-raising ceremony is the opening ceremony, and the principal wants you to speak on behalf of the whole school. β
"What to speak?" Experimental high school in Binyang is also one of the top high schools, and there are many excellent alumni, but those alumni account for most of the reasons why excellent universities, who still remembers this high school, but Lin Feng is different, when he was still in high school, he published a book, wrote an article and was also on the Binyang RI newspaper, is it not enough to prove Lin Feng's excellence, is it not enough to prove the correctness of the school's education policy?
"The theme revolves around books, advocating students to read more books, more. β
Lin Feng nodded to indicate that he understood, and then the head teacher Jax said some noteworthy matters.
β¦β¦
"Hello, who?"
"Hello, are you Mr. Lin Feng?" a polite greeting came from the other end of the phone.
"It's me, but I don't have insurance. β
"Uh......" The other end of the phone was obviously suffocated, and then said: "I don't sell insurance, I am Li Junsheng, the editor of the "Poetry" magazine. β
"Poetry" is the most authoritative literary journal in China in terms of poetry? Why are you looking for me? Are you looking for me to invite manuscripts? If so, you should have been attracted by "Lang Tao Sha Beidaihe", right?
Although he already had a guess in his heart, Lin Feng still asked, "Hello, is there anything to find me?"
"That's right, Mr. Lin Feng. Your last "Lang Tao Sha Beidaihe" is a very good poem, but it has not been published in any magazine so far. Therefore, this magazine wants to publish it in the next issue of "Poetry" with a manuscript fee of 3,000 yuan, what do you think?"
Lin Feng thought about it, although the poem was widely circulated on the Internet, it had indeed never been published in official literature. "Poetry" is the most authoritative in the country, and publishing "Langtaosha Beidaihe" is very beneficial to the spread of his fame.
As for the 3,000 yuan manuscript fee, it is secondary, after all, the manuscript fee for the poem is not much.
In the previous life, the manuscript fee for a poem on the earth was only a few dozen yuan, although "Lang Taosha Beidaihe" is very classic, but the "Poetry" literature and magazine can give 3,000 yuan, which is already very sincere, after all, it is not to buy copyright, but to pay for the publication of articles.
After thinking about it, Lin Feng agreed: "Well, okay." But how do you prove your identity?"
"Huh...... Mr. Lin Feng don't have to worry. You can visit our website and submit your manuscript there. There is an electronic agreement inside, and it will also allow you to fill in your ID number, bank card number and other information to facilitate your payment of manuscript fees. In addition, if you have any good works, you can also write them together, and we will evaluate the manuscript fee according to the quality of the work. β
"Well, good. I happen to have a newly written poem, so I'll throw it in when I get home. β
"Uh......" There was an obvious pause on the other end of the phone, but he quickly reacted and said, "Okay, Mr. Lin Feng." Then I won't bother for now, and I look forward to your submission. β
"Well, goodbye. β
Lin Feng hung up the phone, smiled, and paused from the other end of the phone, he knew that the sentence "If you have any good works, you can also draft them together at that time" was just a polite remark.
But he doesn't care, after all, good poetry is difficult to come out, this is everyone's consensus!
If you were to change yourself, I probably wouldn't believe that a high school student could have any good works in a short period of time after writing such a classic word as "Lang Tao Sha Beidaihe".
I'm not so stingy, and I'm going to be angry about this kind of thing, it's too ugly.
β¦β¦
"Editor-in-chief, this Lin Feng really deserves to be called a madman! I asked politely, and he really said that he had a work. After hanging up the phone, Li Junsheng, the editor of the "Poetry" periodical, looked at Zhang Chen, the editor-in-chief next to him, a little speechless, and said.
"Huh...... That's your fault, you still subconsciously think of him as a high school student. But in fact, he is far beyond the level of high school students. If the object of your invitation just now was a well-known poet in China, and he said that there was a work, you probably would not think like you just now. Zhang Chen said with a smile.
Hearing this, Li Junsheng was thoughtful, and immediately nodded and said, "Indeed, we can't treat him as a high school student. Although he has only written a poem and an article so far, it can be seen from this that he is already an excellent poet when he is mad Lin Feng. β
Zhang Chen nodded with satisfaction and said, "You have to remember that the reason why our "Poetry" literature and magazine can have today's status is because we focus on poetry! We don't look at the age of the author, nor do we look at whether the author's behavior is weird, we only look at whether the poetry is excellent!"
