An apartment in California.

"Hugh, the treatment you received from the California News is really amazing, and it has even raised you to the standard of 3 yuan per word. ”

"George, don't talk about me, the California Evening News gives you a lot, it should not be less than 3 yuan per word. ”

"Haha, Hugh, George, don't blow each other, I'm the worst, the California Journal only gave me a $2.5 word for the manuscript. ”

There were three people who spoke.

One is named Hugh, one is Dawes, and one is George drinking coffee.

These three people are several well-known authors who left the "Awakening Newspaper" and joined the three major newspapers in California.

"Alas, fortunately it came out of the "Awakening Newspaper", and compared with these newspapers, I found that the "Awakening Newspaper" is too picky. ”

"Yes, we've given Awakening so much credit that if it weren't for our long-standing commitment to critical writing, I'm afraid Awakening would have been ranked outside the top 20 newspapers in California, where would it have been in the top five after just five years. ”

"Alas, at that time, I had the intention of asking 'Obiley' to raise the manuscript fee, but this guy didn't even pay a penny. He also said that our manuscript fee is already very high, and if it rises, other authors will follow suit. Yes, our manuscript fees are indeed much higher than those of ordinary authors, but we don't look at what we write. ”

"Speaking of which, I was so stupid at the beginning, I always thought that it was better to be in the "Awakening Newspaper", but I didn't think about it, but now I know that the manuscript fee I got in the "Awakening Newspaper" before this time was simply sent to Hanako. ”

"Hahaha, toast to the wise decision we made. ”

The three of them talked and laughed happily, and they were so unhappy.

"By the way, George, have you been watching the Awakening lately?"

"Of course. In any case, I have been writing the manuscript of the "Awakening Daily" for three years, and I have been finalizing the "Awakening Daily", and I have developed a habit of reading the "Awakening Newspaper". No, this is the latest issue of the newspaper I ordered. It's a pity ......"

"I know what you're talking about, don't be sorry. Without us, "Awakening" would definitely be finished. ”

"Hehe, let's take a look at the recent news about the Awakening Newspaper. Various forums in California have already scolded the Awakening newspaper for what kind of articles they have published recently. Some netizens said that the launch of the news business by "Awakening" is simply looking for death, look, even George, Hugh, and Dawes are angry and left......"

"That's a good point. Yes, yes, yes...... We were by the Awakening Newspaper. ”

George replied with a laugh.

Although the three of them all know that they are angry with the "Awakening News", in fact, the most critical reason why they left is only because of money.

If the top three newspapers in California don't give them huge fees, and the three authors are willing to go, that's weird.

"George. Look at how this issue of "Awakening" is, although that Obili picks the door. But the ability is still there. Don't come up with any tricks these days for this guy to bring the "Awakening Newspaper" back to life. ”

"That's right, George, we have to show our value when we leave. If we leave the "Awakening Daily" not only fine, but even better, I am afraid that the three major newspapers also have opinions on poaching. ”

"Haha. Hughes, Dawes, you two rest. Don't you know how the "Awakening" came to be, and it is the critical realism that has become a landscape among California newspapers. We're gone, and the Awakening is absolutely going to die. You have also seen everyone's comments on the Internet in the previous issues. Let's take a look at this issue. By the way, the Awakening is in its first few issues since we left. ”

"If I remember correctly, it should have been 30 issues, exactly one month. ”

"In a month, I bet that after this issue, the Awakening will collapse. ”

A month is not a lot of time, but for those in the newspaper industry, a month is enough time for users to have the idea of changing newspapers. And once such an idea is generated, then the "Awakening Newspaper" will be finished. After all, "Awakening" is a new newspaper, and readers can't have too much nostalgia for "Awakening".

"Are you sure, George?"

"Of course. ”

Cocking Erlang's legs, George flipped through the newspaper that had been delivered today.

"If you don't believe me, look at today's paper. ”

George opened the "Awakening Newspaper" as always, but before, it was to read the newspaper, but now he reads the newspaper just to watch the play.

"If you see it, I'll say that the "Awakening Newspaper" is going to be finished. You see, they actually took an author who didn't have any fame as the main article of the "Awakening Newspaper". Laugh at me, laugh at me. ”

Pointing to the name of an author named "huang", George rolled with laughter.

"No, Obili is crazy, he actually uses the rookie author's article as the main theme, doesn't he want to live?"

"I guess Obili can't help it, you may not know. Although the three major newspapers only poached the three of us, some other writers who had previously cooperated with the "Awakening Daily" saw that the general trend was gone, and they also secretly cooperated with the three major newspapers and no longer wrote for the "Awakening Daily". ”

"I see, well, it seems that George is right, the Awakening newspaper may really be collapsing. ”

Several people nodded.

"Let's take a look at what this article is about. ”

Although it is an article written by a newcomer, since it is the main feature, George still looks down in detail.

"Chancellor. ”

That's the name of the article.

It looks like he's really a newcomer, and he can't even come up with a "critical" name.

George said as he looked at it carefully.

"I just got the very unfortunate news that a minister from the White House in Washington was visiting with a secret order from the White House. The county magistrate said with difficulty, "I invite you to come just to inform you and get ready." ”

This is the first sentence of the "Minister".

"Hey, it looks pretty good. ”

George finished reading the first paragraph.

He is the author himself, and he has a small recognition of this article.

The language is humorous, and it looks like there's a lot to be made about.

"It's really ok. ”

Huel also nodded, "Judging from the first paragraph, it should be said that the minister of the Qincha paid a private visit, but some magistrates such as the county magistrate used various tricks to deal with the minister. ”

"Not bad, kind of interesting. ”

Dawes also nodded affirmatively, "I think the following plot will lead to a bitter criticism of the ugly bureaucracy in the United States." In this way, the topic may be there. ”

There was some solemnity in the hearts of several people, and they felt that if they continued to write like this, "Awakening Daily" might really lead to another topic. In this way, as long as the "Awakening Daily" will come up with some topics from time to time every day in the future, then the "Awakening Daily" will be able to come back to life. Of course, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that if "Awakening" comes back to life, then wouldn't the three of them have no value at all?

"Read on, although newcomers have good ideas, newcomers often don't have the pen to write down this kind of serious critical literature. ”

George reminded.

The three of them continued to watch.

Seeing a third, several people breathed a sigh of relief.

"I say, newcomers just make mistakes, this guy didn't follow our thinking, and actually made a bastard boy to play a fake minister, is this funny?"

"I was a little worried, I was laughing to death, I guess, this guy was writing jokes. ”

"That's right, I'm smiling from ear to ear now. It's not just the article that's funny, it's even more ridiculous for this newcomer author. ”

The tense moment just now made several people secretly relieved because of the change of direction of the work, with a worried attitude, and also with a mocking newcomer's two-forced writing technique, the three of them kept looking down.

"Hahaha, that stupid county magistrate, I actually thought that this bastard boy was the minister of the Qincha. ”

"Thunder killed me, this kid is also a bastard, when they found out that the county magistrate thought he was the minister of the Qincha, they actually began to blackmail these magistrates continuously. The most ridiculous thing is that the IQ of these people actually believed all the words of this kid, and they were blackmailed by the bastard boy one by one. ”

"No, no, let me laugh a little longer. I think what's even funnier is that in the end, the bastard boy not only played those county magistrates again, but also didn't seem to find it enjoyable. He wrote another letter to the county magistrate, and gave each of these magistrates a stupid and ugly nickname. And just when they suddenly realized that they were stunned, the real minister came at this time...... You say, you say, this irony is not ironic. ”

The three of them laughed and touched their stomachs.

"It's been a long time since I've read such a funny article. ”

"Yes, after reading such an article, I realized that those magistrates were so stupid. ”

"No, they're not stupid, they're smart. It's a pity that they ran into a fake chincha. If it's really Qincha, they also bluff like this...... That was truly a tragedy for the U.S. government. ”

"This is the greatest irony of the US government. ”

"yes, the irony is so profound and so educational. ”

After a few people laughed, they began to analyze the article again.

Only, when they analyze to the end. Suddenly, the three of you look at me, and I look at you...... I seem to realize something.

Subsequently, the three of them snatched the "Minister of the Imperial Mission" serialized in the "Awakening Daily".

At this time, they finally figured out what this "Imperial Minister" was about.

What a newbie.

It turns out that this is the real literary work of critical realism.

Compared with this "The Minister", they found that the three of them were novices who had just written. (To be continued.) )
