Wang Yifan didn't expect his master's evaluation of "Country Teacher" to be so high, he thought that being able to publish it on "Science Fiction World" was the limit, but he could actually go further and participate in the competition for the Galaxy Award.

Chen Chuhe sighed: "It's a pity, this novel is too short, only 20,000 words, if there are more, it will be no problem to publish it directly." ”

Then he became energetic again, "I'll show it to Lao Yang and them, tsk, this is a novel unearthed by our group." ”

The magazine's manuscripts were cross-reviewed, and articles that had to be approved by two editors could only be published in the magazine, so the "Village Teacher" quickly spread among the editors, causing discussion among these old bookworms.

"Could this be Lao Liu's vest, the style of writing is more similar. ”

"Probably not, Lao Liu, isn't he writing "The Memory of Time"? I guess I used to write about other types of writers, but now I want to transform, and the realism is too strong. ”

"There are so many science fiction writers nowadays, and very few people can write this kind of framework, which is simply a combination of extreme reality and extreme romance. ”

"It's a great article, and if you send it out, you're sure to get people involved in the discussion, and maybe a special guru will write a book review. Tsk, it is actually possible to combine rural teachers with science fiction, this skill is by no means ordinary people. ”

"Which of you has the author's information? Xiao Wang, have you signed a contract?"

Wang Yifan unexpectedly became the focus of the editorial department, he swallowed his saliva and said: "I haven't signed a contract yet, but the other party has submitted articles to us, doesn't it mean that he approves of our publication of manuscripts?"

"You have to give the manuscript fee to others, I think this can give a level of 400 words per thousand. ”

The price of 400 words is a very good price for a newcomer, and ordinary newcomers can only get 200 words per 1,000, but Chen Chuhe wants to have a good relationship with Lin Han, maybe this is another future sci-fi god, and now he can take the lead.

So he opened his mouth and said: "Lao Yang, you are not authentic, "Country Teacher" is obviously a seed contestant competing for the Galaxy Award, it is not too much to give a thousand words and a thousand? We give a newcomer with a thousand words and five hundred the highest price, do you want a person like him to run to other magazines? 20,000 words, 500 words is only 10,000 yuan, as for being so stingy? It is not for you to pay. ”

"Yes, what if he becomes popular by then, and ends up defecting to other magazines, if you can get such a good manuscript for 10,000 yuan, then our magazine will make money. ”

"That's not wrong at all, the author who can write such a high-quality text definitely doesn't care about any small money, let's show our sincerity. ”

The editor-in-chief, who silently finished reading the novel, immediately made a decision and said: "Since you all said so, let's give it at the price of 500 words per 1,000 words, and proofread the novel immediately, and then hand it over to the art department to reformat, and let it be published next month!"

After having the editor-in-chief's words, Wang Yifan immediately replied: "Okay, I'll call the author right away!"

Returning to his desk in excitement, the lucky intern immediately dialed Lin Han, and the mobile phone number was attached to the submission document.

……

Lin Han, who was reading a book seriously, suddenly felt the mobile phone vibrating in his pocket, and when he took it out, it turned out to be an unfamiliar number. It's just that this is not the place to answer the phone, and he quickly ran towards the men's bathroom.

"Hello, who are you looking for?"

Wang Yifan thought that no one answered, he was going to press the replay, and now after hearing the voice, he immediately said excitedly: "May I ask if it is Mr. Lin Han? I am a staff member of "Science Fiction World", and the editorial department has unanimously determined that your novel "Country Teacher" will be published in "Science Fiction World" next month, and will also be shortlisted for the Galaxy Award essay competition. ”

After Lin Han heard the news, his first reaction was not surprise, but vigilance. It shouldn't be that the manuscript was sent to some fraudulent organization, and after reviewing the manuscript so quickly, most of them have to make themselves pay any fees, and they can't be fooled when they are about to be poor.

"Sounds great, but you seem to be reviewing your manuscript a little faster than you expected. ”

"Actually, as you know, email submissions are generally of poor quality, and they are easy to filter out. The price given by our editorial department is 500 yuan for 1,000 words, which is the highest price for newcomers. If you still have good works to submit in the future, you can contact me directly, and the price will be raised to the point of 1,000 yuan for 1,000 words. ”

Silently calculated in his heart, the novel he wrote all night earned 10,000 yuan, Lin Han said that this is not bad, just need money, although 10,000 yuan can not completely make the financial deficit disappear, but it can also deal with the urgent need.

Wang Yifan noticed that the other party did not have much joy, which strengthened his judgment, believing that Lin Han was a person with attainments in other literary fields, not a pure newcomer.

"Mr. Lin, please send me your bank card number, bank account, and ID card information, and I will contact the finance department to pay you. By the way, the manuscript fee tax is directly withheld by our magazine, so I will help you calculate that the manuscript fee of 10,000 yuan is 8,880 yuan after tax. ”

The evil manuscript fee tax, a single manuscript fee of 800 yuan will be deducted, which is much lower than the threshold of personal income tax.

"You're in charge of withholding, aren't you?"

"Yes, there is one more thing to remind Mr. Lin. From the date of your formal submission, the copyright of your work is equivalent to agreeing that we will act as an agent, whether it is published or filmed, adapted games, we will try our best to promote, and at the same time, we will charge 20% of the copyright fee as an agency fee. Of course, if you don't sign a contract, we don't have the right to sell the copyright. ”

"Will there be a formal contract?" Lin Han knew about this rather tricky rule before submitting the article, but people had to bow their heads under the eaves, and it happened that he didn't have any resources to promote the copyright now, if he could sell the copyright, 20% would actually be acceptable.

It's just that for future works, the agency fee can't be so high, and Lin Han is not a fool.

Lin Han couldn't help but start complaining in his heart, his 1,120 yuan was about to be handed over to the state, what a sad thing.

However, this manuscript fee tax is actually protecting the rights and interests of high-income earners, when a writer's income reaches millions of yuan, paying this tax is more cost-effective than paying personal income tax, and there is no need to deduct so much.

Some media once calculated this problem, when the income reaches 200,000 yuan in the current year, the tax burden of author's remuneration income tax is 11.2%, while the tax burden of personal income tax is 13.72%, so the popular best-selling author is more beneficial.

Therefore, although many people are calling for the 800 yuan threshold to be raised every year, no one says that the tax payment ratio needs to be revised, which is the reason.

What can you do with 8,000 dollars?

In Yanjing, he can pay more than two months of rent, and Lin Han's rent is paid for three months at a time, so he will directly give the landlord 9,000 yuan next month, and it is still a little bit short, so he has to continue to make money.

After confirming that Wang Yifan was indeed a staff member of "Science Fiction World", Lin Han handed over his personal information to the other party, and then quietly waited for the payment.

Lin Han also wrote manuscripts for magazines when he was on Earth, but they were all returned without exception, and his dream of being a writer ended without a problem. But in this life, with the backing of science fiction literature of the whole earth, it may not be too difficult for him to realize his dream.
