Chapter 278: Have You Ever Heard Science Fiction Poetry?
Entrusted Li Wenyuan to help him inquire which magazine is more suitable for publishing poetry, Lin Han has already begun to search his stomach and recall what are the excellent poems. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
In his previous life, he could only be regarded as an ordinary person, and there were not many modern poems that he could come into contact with, most of them were well-known, but there are also some modern poems in this world, such as Xu Zhimo and Tagore, and even "To the Oak Tree".
So when he thinks about what poems to bring out, he always searches on the Internet, so as not to crash and don't embarrass himself at that time.
"You Are the April Day in the World" is a love poem for Chen Jiaxuan, and the release of this poem depends on Chen Jiaxuan's wishes, but the later poem "If I Have Never Seen the Sun" can be regarded as a poem, but it should be a little new.
It didn't take long for Li Wenyuan to reply to Lin Han on QQ, "They think they can post it on "Reader", and then find "Poetry Magazine". The Reader has a large circulation and has the advantage of the masses. The "Poetry Magazine" is authoritative and professional in the field of poetry. ”
"Okay, I'll contact them later, do you have the contact information of the editor of "Poetry Magazine", can I send it directly to their submission mailbox for review?"
has acquaintances who are easy to do, Lin Han silently praised himself.
However, Li Wenyuan made a sweaty expression, "I'm not writing poetry, where can I find their contact information." However, you can ask your agent to ask, it should be quite easy to find. After all, the influence of "Poetry Magazine" is getting weaker and weaker, and I will definitely not refuse to have a well-known writer like you join. ”
"Okay, I'll contact the "Reader" first, and then I'll put the "Poetry Magazine" in the back, don't worry."
"You can show me the poems you wrote first, let me appreciate how your poems are written, and let me give you some opinions and suggestions from the reader." Li Wenyuan said curiously, he had seen Lin Han's two works, but he had not seen the rest.
However, Lin Hanyi verbally refused, "When it is published, I will tell you, and you will know when you go to buy a copy, and now you have to keep it mysterious." ”
"Cross the river and tear down the bridge, I'll help you ask everywhere, you have to do this."
"Joke, I'll give you advice after I'm done." Lin Han sent a smiling expression, switched to the email address, and began to reply to the email of "Reader" magazine, and also apologized to "Yilin".
Leaving his work QQ number, Lin Han waited for the other party to add friends, the "Reader" magazine is far away in the northwest region, not on the Yanjing side, only long-distance communication.
……
It didn't take long for an editor named "Matcha Melon Seeds" to add Lin Han's friend and said, "Hello Mr. Lin, I am the editor in charge of poetry in the editorial department of Reader. I'm glad you accepted our invitation [grin]"
Looking at the information, this should be a female editor, Lin Han thought it was quite interesting, he replied: "I didn't expect you to actually see my hidden talent, there are not many people with discerning eyes like you." ”
"We are planning to open a column here, Mr. Lin will post a relatively short and concise poem in each issue, and we will calculate the price according to each line, do you think it's okay?"
Lin Han thought it was just a poem, but he didn't expect the other party to attach so much importance to himself and open a column on the "Reader" magazine, which sold nearly 10 million copies, which is something that many popular poets can't do!
However, he didn't agree to it at the first time, but pondered, one in one issue, 12 poems are needed that year, can he find so many excellent poems in his memory bank?
The column is certainly an honor, but it is also a responsibility, and he can't mess up the column, otherwise he will ruin his reputation.
Everything is risky, and now that an unprecedented opportunity is in front of Lin Han, it must be false to say that he is not tempted, he thought about it carefully, and it should be no problem for him to make up a modern poetry collection.
"Is there a word limit for my column? You know, it's not possible for every poem to be exactly a few lines of words, modern poetry is more flexible. ”
"We will adjust it according to the actual situation. As for the price of original poetry, we will give it relatively high, 1,000 yuan a line, which is higher than other magazines. ”
For ordinary people, a poem of theirs is 50 yuan a line, for a slightly famous poet it is 3,000 yuan a poem, and it is 1,000 yuan a line to Lin Han, and it is not difficult to spend a few thousand yuan under a poem.
Especially for those longer poems, it is possible that the manuscript fee for writing a poem can exceed 10,000 yuan, even if it is 10,000 yuan a poem, it is nothing, and earning 10,000 yuan a month seems to be not even a fraction of Lin Han's monthly income.
Lin Han's value is not to make money, but to spread these poems, as for the money, he has already figured out how to do it, so he donated it to primary schools in the Midwest to buy various extracurricular books and stationery to enrich their extracurricular life.
After making up his mind, Lin Han replied: "You guys prepare the contract now, I'll forward it to the legal staff, and sign the electronic contract after it's confirmed, how about it?" ”
Guazi mm also knew that Lin Han would not be as easy to dismiss as a newcomer, she was already mentally prepared, "This is a prepared contract, you receive the documents." ”
"By the way, are there any restrictions on the subject matter and content of the poems in this column?"
"We welcome poetry works of various styles and genres, especially excellent poems that reflect the mainstream of the social era, lead a healthy artistic fashion, and cultivate people's moral sentiments. We welcome innovative works that are truly artistic pursuits, as well as short and exquisite works that are close to the reader. ”
Lin Han suddenly came to his senses, and he typed quickly and said: "In addition to ordinary modern poems, I have also prepared innovative poetry types, have you heard of science fiction poetry?" ”
"Haven't you heard of it, are there any examples of this type of poetry?" Guazi sat at his desk, and his vest suddenly gave out a bad feeling.
"I haven't heard of it, I think it's a perfect fit for me, you see I'm a science fiction writer and a poet, and combining those two is a unique advantage. There are many people who write love poems, and there are many people who write science fiction, but I am the only one who can combine them into one! ”
This is Lin Han's idea that came up by chance, if you want to stand out from so many poets, you must have your own characteristics, what are your own characteristics?
When you mention the name Lin Han, you will think of science fiction, who has written science fiction poetry?
As far as he knew, it seemed that no one had written about it at all, and even foreign poets were not very interested in the subject.
Matcha melon seeds patted her forehead, she knew that things would not be so simple, how could the good modern poetry develop in an unknown direction! (To be continued.) )
