Chapter 132: Reprinted by The Reader
In the "Nanjian Youth Daily" and "Nanjian Daily" columns, these two things are of great significance to Yang Zijian, since then, Yang Zijian has two important and stable "discourse platforms" in Nanjian City, and there are two "dojos" to promote his literary concepts!
From then on, readers in Nanjian City no longer need to look for Yang Zijian's works in newspapers everywhere, and they can read Yang Zijian's article "Telling the Historical Monuments and Cultural Figures of Nanjian City and Nantang Town" for a fixed five cents a day, and gradually form a stable readership, or fan base.
In this pile of letters, Yang Zijian also received five manuscript fee bills, one of which was the remittance slip of the "Fujian Provincial Daily" article "Huchuan Watching the Sunrise", the prose of more than 3,000 words had 95 yuan, the manuscript fee was good, plus the manuscript fee list sent by the daily, overseas Chinese newspaper, youth newspaper, etc., he earned a total of 168 yuan today.
Yang Zijian took out an account book from the drawer, and carefully calculated it with a ballpoint pen, so far, from the beginning of September to today, October 9, he has published 34 chapters of works, received a total of 833 yuan in manuscript fees and school awards, gave 300 yuan to the family, and then 80 yuan for living expenses and transportation expenses, spent more than 40 yuan to buy various gifts for his three younger siblings, and now has more than 400 yuan in his pocket.
In fact, about Yang Zijian's manuscript fee income, Lin Kechun was taken aback.
Mr. Lin has been teaching all his life, and his monthly salary is only more than 400 yuan, and the salary of the newly assigned teachers in the junior high school is less than 300 yuan. Yang Zijian relied on writing, and he actually surpassed them by more than double. However, thinking about the manuscript fees of Lu Xun, Guo Moruo, Jia Pingwa, Wang Shuo, Yang Zijian is a drop in the bucket.
Before the third Chinese class, Mr. Lin also told him a great news: because many readers in Nanjian City recommended "Nantang Wind and Rain Bridge" to GS Lanzhou's "Reader's Digest", after the review of the editorial department of "Reader's Digest" and the consent of Xiao Gu, the editor-in-charge of "Nanjian Daily", it was decided to reprint and publish this work. When Xiaogu called Lin Kechun to inform him, he would also send a manuscript fee.
"GS's Reader's Digest?" Yang Zijian was stunned and thought about it, and immediately understood that this is the famous "Reader", which ranks first in national journals and first in Asian periodicals, and later changed to "Reader" because of the copyright dispute with the American "Reader's Digest", which is 50 yuan for 1,000 words, and "Nantang Wind and Rain Bridge" has more than 2,000 words, which means that there are more than 100 yuan in manuscript fees!
On top of that, this magazine is very famous, has a large readership, and is suitable for all ages, and it is the chicken soup for the soul of Chinese literature! He Yang Zijian put up this magazine, basically registered in front of readers across the country, laying the foundation for national fame, he remembers, no writer's works in Nanjian City have been reprinted by "Reader".
"Thank you to the readers of Nanjian City, and thank you to the "Reader" of LZ City! Thank you CCAV, thank you No. 1 Middle School, thank you Xiaogu, thank you Teacher Lin......" Yang Zijian was so excited that he danced and talked nonsense.
"Mess! What's there to be happy about? When Mr. Lin saw that Yang Zijian's eyes were open, he immediately scolded him with hatred, and then corrected his three views.
Yang Zijian is very grateful, he now understands how important it is for students to get support from schools and teachers for writing, especially the Chinese teacher Lin Kechun, in addition to being a guardian, he almost became an agent, and it was free, Yang Zijian bought gifts for him several times, but he returned them and scolded him, and he could only send some hometown specialties, such as oranges, bamboo shoots or something.
After the fourth period, Mr. Cui came over to inform Yang Zijian: "At two o'clock in the afternoon, the Municipal Writers Association held an important 'Golden Autumn Symposium', which is very important, all newspaper editors in the city will participate, and invite representative old, middle, young and young writers to participate, you and Ma Qiuyuan are invited, you must come!" ”
Yang Zijian couldn't help but say with a bitter face: "I have three classes in the afternoon, the microcomputer class and the class meeting class are okay, but there is another one is Teacher Yang's English class, although Teacher Yang is kind, but in fact it is very difficult to speak, and his old man's class is not good to ask for leave!" ”
Of course, Teacher Cui didn't allow Yang Zijian to flinch, patted him on the shoulder and said, "I'll go and do work for him." ”
After a while, Mr. Cui came back, his face was pale, and he said helplessly: "Your English grades are not very good, Mr. Yang does not agree to your leave, after my hard explanation, he finally agreed, but he will come to tutor you in person in the evening self-study." ”
Then he said regretfully: "It's just not, we can't attend the welcome dinner held by the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, because he is on duty at night, and I have to take the top for him." ”
Yang Zijian had no choice but to apologize and thank him.
In fact, this time Yang Zijian really wanted to participate in the "Golden Autumn Symposium" of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, before, because he had to attend classes, he had not participated several times, and this time he could meet the editors of major city newspapers.
In this era, there were many newspapers and periodicals in Nanjian City, but after four or five years, in addition to the daily newspaper, evening newspaper, TV newspaper, overseas Chinese newspaper, and youth newspaper, other building materials newspapers, environmental newspapers, workers' newspapers, tax newspapers and other newspapers and newspapers will be withdrawn and disappear without a trace.
After Cui You left, Wang Yun came over and asked, "Where are you going to eat at noon?" ”
She was still thinking about when Yang Zijian would invite guests, she didn't like the food in the cafeteria very much, it was unhygienic and unpalatable, but since she was a boarder, she had to get along with her roommates, so she had to obediently adapt to the life of a boarder.
"I don't have time, I have to go to the symposium of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles with Mr. Cui You in the afternoon." Yang Zijian shrugged and said, "So I'm not at school in the afternoon." This symposium will allow you to make many acquaintances with editors, and you will be able to recommend the Oak Literature Society's newsletter in the future. ”
Wang Yun is very envious, but she is still far from joining the Municipal Writers Association.
Subsequently, Qian Li, Zhang Yimin and other girls asked Wang Yun to go to the cafeteria to eat together. After Wang Yun became a boarder, she unexpectedly did not join Yang Zijian's small eating group, but thinking about it, she has always been conservative, and under the clear pattern of male right and female left in the cafeteria, she did not dare to risk the world's disapproval and run to eat among the boys.
When Yang Zijian was eating, he talked to Xie Xiaoqin, Lin Yi, Meng Yun, Chen Jiaoju and others about participating in the symposium.
Lin Yi said excitedly: "I can meet the editors of all the newspapers in the city, this opportunity is too rare." "After this guy was selected by Yang Zijian, he already has social knowledge and network awareness.
Yang Zijian said with a smile: "I will make friends first, and then if I have the opportunity, invite them to come to No. 1 Middle School to give speeches to all the members of our Oak Literature Society, and help us publish a newsletter by the way." ”
Everyone glanced at Yang Zijian and felt that this was too sophisticated.
