Zhang Zhifang, who is named "Aiming High", immediately sent out a line of text that he had been thinking about all afternoon with enthusiasm.

"Hello Zhuyunfei, I am Zhang Zhifang, editor of "Wuxia Weekly", your "Mandarin Duck Knife" is really wonderful, on behalf of the weekly magazine, I sincerely implore you to hand over "Mandarin Duck Knife" to this weekly magazine for publication, and the manuscript fee will be distributed at the best standard, I don't know what you think?"

After sending it out, Zhang Zhifang became apprehensive.

He waited for a reply all afternoon, but he never waited, wondering if it had been intercepted by other magazines, and the whole person became restless.

waited until he got off work, Zhang Zhifang simply stayed in the office and guarded the computer, and stayed up all night until he could reply to the letter.

Seeing that twelve o'clock is coming, he really made him wait!

In addition to the ecstasy, he was still a little uneasy.

Although "Mandarin Duck Knife" is only a short story, the author's level is vividly reflected, even if the manuscript fee of 1,000 yuan per thousand words is already a high standard in the industry, but it is not certain whether people will choose "Weekly".

"Martial Arts Weekly" is only a second-rate magazine in the martial arts novel industry, the temple is small and can not accommodate the big Bodhisattva, there have been several excellent authors who debuted from "Weekly", but after becoming famous, they resolutely threw themselves into the arms of the two giants of "Martial Arts Circle" and "Martial Arts Old Things".

Excellent authors in the industry are inherently scarce resources, and unless the "Weekly" is willing to pay a higher level of manuscript fees, they are simply unwilling to hand over their works to the "Weekly" for publication.

However, when it comes to financial resources, personal connections, and channels, where is the "Weekly" the opponent of the two giants, and nine out of ten times it has been defeated in the competition for authors, so it has no choice but to "cultivate new talents" and publish more new works by new people.

In the past two years, the circulation of the "Weekly" has gradually shrunk, from the peak of 70,000 copies to the current 55,000 copies.

Zhang Zhifang joined the Weekly magazine after graduating from university and has been working here for 15 years, and it is hard to imagine where he would have gone if the magazine had collapsed.

So he is desperately looking forward to the "Weekly" can reverse the current business predicament, and the mysterious "Flying Clouds" opposite QQ is like the last straw that the drowning person can grasp, which has become his hope.

One second, ten seconds, thirty seconds, one minute......

Two minutes, five minutes......

For five minutes, "Flying by the Clouds" did not reply, Zhang Zhifang's heart was like being fished out of the hot water and directly immersed in the ice cave for 39 days, cold and transparent.

"It's over...... He must have been swept away by the tension and exhaustion of the ......" day, Zhang Zhifang only felt that it was dark in front of him and almost fainted.

At this moment, QQ "Dididi" rang, and the news came!

Zhang Zhifang perked up, stared at it, and saw a line of words received in the message box.

"How much does it cost?"

Just ask the price, and the most afraid is that the other party will refuse directly without even asking the price.

Zhang Zhifang hurriedly tapped on the keyboard and said, "1,000 yuan for 1,000 words." ”

"The price was nothing wrong but I had an extra request. ”

You say. ”

"Can you call the manuscript fee first, I am in a hurry to use the money. ”

"Please give me a card number, and I will call you in full tomorrow morning!"

When Zhang Zhifang typed these lines, blood gushed up in his head, and he only felt that the tension and exhaustion he had endured that day was all worth it.

Zhou Lin, who is thousands of miles away, is also very happy, he just went to the toilet to empty his stomach, and when he came back, he found that the manuscript fee given by "Martial Arts Weekly" was unexpectedly large, and he could earn more than 30,000 yuan by carefully calculating a "Mandarin Duck Knife", and it would arrive tomorrow, this money can do a lot of things!

What's more, he didn't give this "Mandarin Duck Knife" casually.

If he wants to make more money and gain more influence, is it good for him to give "Mandarin Duck Knife" to "Martial Arts Circle"? Is it good to give "Old Things in Martial Arts"? Which one is better than "Martial Arts Weekly", even if the manuscript fee does not reach more than 1,000 words per thousand, at least he can be familiar with martial arts novel fans.

But Zhou Lin has never been just to make money.

This is true of "Zhu Xian", "Blasphemy", and the same is true of "Mandarin Duck Knife" and "Country Teacher".

They are bait, and those who wish to take the bait, and when they catch a sufficient amount of fish, Zhou Lin will slowly reel in the line.

His goal has never changed, one company, one group, one industry, one empire.

At this moment, he was only taking the first step, but his eyes saw dozens of steps and hundreds of steps into the future.

sent Zhang Zhifang a bank card number, and Zhou Lin replied to the letter from "Science Fiction Literature", agreeing to contact him tomorrow.

After doing these things, he was about to go to bed, and an avatar on QQ flashed wildly.

"Little Overlord?" Zhou Lin clicked the mouse, and several messages popped up.

"Cousin, something is wrong, you should go to the forum quickly!"

"Cousin, you're not there, hurry up, the forum is going to explode!"

"Cousin, I can't hold it if you don't come again!"

"Cousin......"

The little overlord is none other than Zhou Ming, this guy is as his name suggests, and now he is a "little overlord" with more than 6,000 people under one person at the Singularity Literature Forum.

Foul language, little black house!

Those who make anti-social remarks, little black house!

Flood and don't listen to warnings, little black house!

Criticize "Zhu Xian", a little black house!

It's not pleasing to the eye, little black house!

This guy completely thinks of himself as a GM in an online game, and he is ruthless, and he really deters some disobedient members and cleans up the Singularity Literature Forum.

This little overlord actually ran to QQ for help, and Zhou Lin was also a little strange, not knowing what happened to the forum.

He immediately logged on to the forum and immediately found that the "Fantasy Fantasy" section had gathered more than 1,000 members.

clicked in and only glanced at it, Zhou Lin couldn't cry or laugh.

It turned out that it was all caused by "Blasphemy", and I saw that the entire section was full of posts with various titles, all of which expressed the same kind of love without exception.

"Desecration can never be a work that flies after the clouds!"

"Why don't you have more time to open a new pit and update Zhu Xian?"

"Blasphemy of this kind of novel is a shame for the forum, why hasn't the administrator deleted the post?"

"Guy like Rogge can't be the protagonist!"

"Administrator, if you delete the post again, I'll smash the glass of your house!"

……

Zhou Lin guessed that "Blasphemy" would cause great controversy, but he didn't expect it to be so controversial.

The members of the forum are all attracted by "Zhu Xian", what they like is the spirit of struggle and pure love in Zhu Xian, in their minds Zhu Yunfei has always been a "pure love author", but suddenly a copy of "Blasphemy" appeared, which broke their illusions at once.

It's like the goddess I love in my heart suddenly appeared in the hidden text folder of the hard drive one day, and it was difficult for anyone to accept it!

One shift on weekends.
