42. Magazine
It is said that after Hu Yifan rejected An Hu, he rushed to his rental house.
When I got home, I ordered a takeout to eat, and then I got to work. At present, there are three major tasks at hand, the first is Ye Feier's album, the second is the plan to set up a company, and the other is to enter the traditional magazine.
After archiving two chapters of "Flower Thousand Bone", Hu Yifan went to the "Most Magazine" agency, which edited "It's That Cool". This time to enter the magazine, Hu Yifan was ready, and even thought of a pen name.
If you invest in a magazine, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" seems to be more suitable than "Flower Thousand Bone". As for the pen name, let's call it Hu Ge, the provincial one is exchanged for it.
What he was holding in his hand was the manuscript of the first chapter of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" that he printed out in the photocopying agency, nearly 30,000 words, and it took dozens of dollars to print, which was really troublesome, and it seemed that he would have to have a printer in the future.
The Most Impurity Society, Nanhai Branch, Editor-in-Chief Liang Hongbao's Office.
Hu Yifan sat on the sofa next to him and drank tea, and Editor-in-Chief Liang was reviewing this chapter of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" "Wind and Snow Shock".
After about twenty minutes, Editor-in-Chief Liang put down the manuscript and frowned slightly.
"Hu Ge, are you a martial artist?"
Hu Yifan nodded yes.
Editor-in-chief Liang asked again: "Double protagonists?" Are Yang Tiexin and Guo Xiaotian both protagonists? ”
Hu Yifan shook his head, "Neither."
Editor-in-Chief Liang smiled: "Hu Ge, I know that you write a book www.biquge.info Biquge, and your grades are good, but what, the magazine is not as good as the online article, and the protagonist of such a large chapter does not even appear?" ”
Hu Yifan smiled in his heart, in the future, you will probably be even more surprised when you watch "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" and "Smiling Proud Jianghu".
"It's the direction of film and television again?" Editor-in-chief Liang asked with a smile.
"Yes." Hu Yifan nodded.
Editor-in-chief Liang said: "With your fame, it must be no problem to sign a contract, but the problem is that you are a novel, the current novel section of our magazine is full, and youth romance novels are even more famous ......."
Hu Yifan understood, there was no time for him to publish "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" in the fiction section of the magazine? Well, let's switch to another one.
The reason why I chose the most magazine is because the circulation of "It's That Cool" has an average of more than 6 million copies per month! The status ranks first in China! But there is no Reader magazine in this world.
What Hu Yifan lacks most now is fame.
But with such a large magazine company, there is no shortage of writers or famous writers. Therefore, it is normal to eat closed-door soup, and the writing style of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is indeed different from the modern new martial arts. The new school of martial arts pays attention to happiness and enmity, which is a bit close to the fantasy and cool text of the www.biquge.info of the Pen Fun Pavilion.
Let's switch to another one.
Hu Yifan found another magazine, called "Xiaoyaoxing" magazine, which is a new magazine, and the owner is said to be a very young woman.
This magazine has a magazine, "Getaway", which has an average monthly circulation of about 400,000-500,000. Although it is not comparable to the giant of the most magazine, it has made such a result in just three years, which is also very good, and it is also a local magazine.
The car stopped in front of the "Getaway" magazine.
It's not far from the university town, but the magazine has an 11-story building, and I don't know if it's rented or owned.
Hu Yifan went directly to the ninth floor and knocked on the general manager's office.
The door opened, and it was opened by a young girl.
"Auntie, someone is looking for you." This little girl, about six or seven years old, stared at Hu Yifan with curious big eyes. The office bathroom responded, "Got it." ”
Soon, a woman who looked a lot like a college student walked out. He immediately recognized Hu Yifan, even though Hu Yifan was wearing sunglasses.
"Hu Ge?" The woman screamed in slight surprise, not looking like a boss at all.
"You're the boss of the Getaway?" Hu Yifan looked this woman up and down, shorter than Huo Jintong, sweet-looking, and looked like she had just graduated.
"Sort of." The woman replied with a smile, then beckoned Hu Yifan to sit down and made him a cup of tea. Hu Yifan also handed over the manuscript straight to the point, saying that he wanted to submit it.
The woman is naturally very strange, why don't she vote for the most magazine, Hu Yifan didn't hide it, saying that people don't like it. The woman covered her mouth and smiled, and then began to read the text intently.
The woman read it in one breath very professionally.
"I don't know what kind of price Mr. Hu Ge wants?" The woman asked.
"I'm ...... Would you like to be featured in the MEas? Hu Ge was a little surprised, I thought that people wouldn't look down on it this time.
"It's a good job, why don't you publish it. Besides, our magazine has always lacked famous writers in the fiction category, especially martial arts and Xianxia novels. Although the opening chapter is average, it is well written. The woman analyzed.
Hu Yifan said in his heart, hey, I met someone who understands!
"The price is, whatever you want, but the copyright of simplified film and television must be in my hands." Hu Yifan said directly.
"That's natural, if your arrival can bring sales to my magazine, it's better than a qiē." The woman said.
"That's not guaranteed." Hu Yifan said modestly.
"So, let's tell me how many words this book will be completed?" The woman asked.
"About 1.2 million words." Hu Yifan said.
"Long?" The woman frowned slightly, the price of the long-form, short-form, and medium-length film is not the same.
"That's it, 1000 words and 1000 yuan, what do you think, the copyright of the other qiē will be returned to you, but before the book is finished, it can't be published on the www.biquge.info of Biquge, other impurities, etc." The woman laughed.
Hu Yifan nodded with satisfaction, according to the section of the magazine, an issue is updated with 10,000 words, which is 10,000 yuan, which is already the price of the manuscript fee of a famous artist.
"Okay, happy cooperation! This is the manuscript of the first issue. You have to send an electronic copy of the contract back, and I'll get it and send it to you. Hu Yifan said.
"Okay."
The woman took the manuscript and immediately dialed the secretary's number. After a while, a woman in her thirties walked in, looked at Hu Ge in surprise, and then handed Hu Yifan an envelope containing 30,000 yuan and a business card.
After receiving the money and leaving phone calls to each other, Hu Yifan left the Getaway magazine. This woman is really happy to do things, and she paid the manuscript fee before she signed the contract?
Looking at Hu Yifan's departing back, the secretary was surprised: "Boss, isn't this Hu Ge, he came to our magazine to contribute?" ”
"Yes. Xinrui, send this manuscript to the proofreading office, and ...... By the way, the layout of the next issue of the magazine hasn't been sorted out yet, right? In any case, Hu Ge's manuscript of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" should be arranged in a 10,000-word section. The woman said.
"Boss, do you attach so much importance to it?" The secretary looked a little puzzled.
"Most magazines are arrogant, and this time they may have made a big mistake." The woman smiled, and although the smile at this time still looked very sweet, there was a little more wisdom in the sweetness.
"Why, did the most magazine reject Hu Ge?" The secretary asked in surprise.
"Yes. But it's normal, there are a lot of famous artists in their novel section, and their sales are good and their reputation is good, they really don't dare to take Hu Yifan at risk. But we are different, we are young magazines, we dare to fight! The woman confidently squeezed her pink fist, looking full of confidence.
In her heart, she told herself that her uncle went to Singapore to start a business, and left this industry for herself, and she must do it well! And this Hu Ge is a good card to make this industry stronger and bigger!
