CHAPTER XXXI

Liu Qingge hesitated again and again, planning to write a short story and submit it to the magazine while updating the online article.

The domestic paper media industry is becoming more and more sluggish, and today's paper media is even weaker.

The largest print media ML culture in China has almost occupied half a step of the country, and it is the leader of the entire industry, but it is such a behemoth, but it is not worry-free, but it must be improved and explored at all times. The publications under its name, except for those classic magazines, the rest of the new journals will be discontinued after they are published, and the survival rate is difficult to guarantee, of which the cycle will not exceed three years.

Of course, this is already much better than some small publications. Thousands of publications were born at a time when most people didn't know or cared about, but very few actually ran out more than three issues, or it was good enough to do so, but the same thing was that they died out much faster than the time it took for the world to remember them.

What is striking is that the approval of the issue number is particularly difficult and cumbersome, and it requires millions of yuan. This would be something that a nascent development of the print medium could not do.

The current situation is that both short and long-form magazines are borrowing someone else's issue.

All publications bear other names.

In such an environment, if you want to submit a journal article, the range of choices is small enough to read the invitation letter in a space that can be edited one by one.

There are only a few well-known magazines, and the number of submissions to large magazines each month may be as small as more than 1,000, and the number of thousands of articles submitted is not an incredible thing. In this case, most people's manuscripts are thrown into the sea, and they can't be caught if they fall into the depths of the water.

Therefore, many people will choose to apply to some smaller journals, or settle down if they find an editor who reviews quickly and has a response. It is also the wisest choice.

Every magazine will have an internal author group, in this group, there is often a group of newcomers who don't actually know anything, this newcomer is divided into three parts, one part is attracted by the generous manuscript fee to write, the general level is out of the horizontal line, vote a few times and retreat a few times, this kind of person, write less than ten articles will be completely silent. The second part is very self-esteem, thinking that their writing is extraordinary, and writing only because they like to write stories and express emotions, and this kind of person is basically rejected after investing, and the difference between the former kind of person is that this kind of person's writing is indeed better than the previous one. The third is for fame and profit, and will insist on writing every month, without pinning hope, but never thinking of giving up, and regard the manuscript as a long-term struggle. The difference between this and the first two types of people is that they have a relatively correct peace of mind.

In addition to this group of newcomers, there will also be a group of old people, and there are two kinds of old people in this group, one is to submit occasional manuscripts, but it is not absolutely stable. The second is that manuscript approval has become commonplace, but it is the abnormal performance. And this group of people is often not confined to one magazine, but submits articles to multiple magazines every month, and the manuscript fee is very considerable, and full-time is not unavoidable.

The second type of person can stabilize the manuscript, and each issue has two or three articles, and the author whose figure can appear in every magazine must have been honed for a certain period of time, and this group of people is very smart, they have figured out what kind of manuscript the magazine needs, figured out the routine, and knew themselves and the other naturally in a hundred ways.

But it really takes time and a long period of immersion, and it takes a certain amount of talent.

But which industry is easier to succeed in? It's just a level of entry threshold.

The manuscript fee of large journals has risen to 15 to 300 in the latest year, and the latter level of journals is also 12 to 200, even if it is a reliable and stable small journal, it will not be less than 50 per thousand words, no matter how low it is, it is no longer suitable for submission.

The general number of words in the column is in the range of 7,000 to 10,000, and a small number are lower or higher than this range. In other words, if you pass a short story, the income is very considerable, and the highest is several thousand.

Compare the online article, take the author of Lily as an example, the article on the gold list on the homepage of Lily Frequency, the thousand words are about fifteen thousand words, of course, of course, if it is a great god, it is a cut higher, but it is limited, and even the lowest magazine remuneration standard cannot be reached.

Magazine articles, like YQ literature, have attracted a group of authors who have crossed the river to pick the rich fruits, but in fact, their hopes are very descriptive, whether it is the recommendation position or the manuscript required for the publication column is limited, and the fierce competition makes many people see no hope at the dawn of hope.

Most magazines are in the third review, and it is not easy to pass the first review, but there are so many people who are stuck in the final review, and it is so frustrating, like a hurdle that cannot be passed. The review cycle is one month, and the letter of appointment clearly states that if you don't receive a reply in a month, you can vote again, if there is no news, you have to wait for a month to know that you have completely lost hope.

Each circle has its own rules, and the most stringent point of submission in the literary circle is that you can't submit more than one manuscript, otherwise after being discovered, the lighter one will give up the manuscript directly, regardless of whether it is excellent or not, and the stricter one will be hung out and hung in front of the editors in the entire circle, and since then this person has been on the blacklist of all editors in this circle. Unless you start all over again.

So even if you know that you may not have hope this month, you must not make a switch.

How cruel is this? The newcomer author always has to cry about this, which is considered to be the tuition fee.

Liu Qingge has even seen magazines with a review time of three months, and those who dare to vote are almost heroes.

In this kind of market, Liu Qingge dared to take the time to write a 10,000-word manuscript, and he was also a hero when he threw it over.

After submitting the manuscript, Liu Qingge thought about what Ah Zheng said, and began to officially finish a pit, and then began to write a pit.

At this time, the school finally officially opened, and the roommates returned to the dormitory one after another, bringing a lot of things from home. Liu Qingge has eaten instant noodles in school for a few days, and her mouth will fade out of spicy, these things are simply for the benefit of her, and she is satisfied with eating.

"What have you been eating these days?" Zhang Jiayi put two bottles of milk from home on Liu Qingge's table, as well as some fruits and snacks.

It's okay not to ask, but tears are going to fall when you ask. Liu Qingge looked at Zhang Jiayi with teary eyes, "The baby is so bitter, I've been eating instant noodles for the past few days."

"Who told you to come so early?" Zhang Jiayi smiled with a slight disgust.

Zhang Jiayi may not know that her face looks very disdainful and sarcastic with this kind of expression, which makes people's hearts burn.

Liu Qingge opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything.

The day of the deadline for the pre-sale of the personal journal is when the short story is retired. The manuscript was returned, and the sales of personal journals did not exceed ten copies, such a thing is really in response to an old saying, blessings are incomparable, and disasters are not one-way.

Double blow or something, Liu Qingge felt particularly uncomfortable, she lifted it so much that she needed someone to talk to.

found Zhang Jiayi, Zhang Jiayi looked absent-minded, and she only used a 'um' word to respond to Liu Qingge's full of distress. In this regard, Liu Qingge only felt even more depressed in his heart.

She went to the small discussion group and used a bunch of words to describe her distress, waiting for a long time to come to the ball and an indifferent expression of Lin'an.

As a typical Leo, Liu Qingge is a person who can't hide things in her heart, she likes to talk to people close to her, happy, unhappy, funny, angry, etc. But when she was full of love and eager to confide, what she was waiting for was a reaction that was neither salty nor light, which was what made her most heartbroken.

People who don't have anything to do in their hearts, people who like to talk to are actually not happy. It is dangerous to give your joys and sorrows to others.

In the end, Liu Qingge went to find Ah Zheng, and Ah Zheng encouraged her after comforting her.

Liu Qingge often feels that Ah Zheng's emotional intelligence is very high, she understands everything in her heart, knows what to do and what not to do, but she is very kind, she likes to help people, and she also knows who should help and who should not help, she is always appropriate, when Liu Qingge wants to be praised, she will not be stingy with her praise, a spring breeze is good enough to make people feel comfortable. And unless she encounters principles, she will severely persuade Liu Qingge, and most of the time she always teaches Liu Qingge in a very intuitive and gentle way.

That's the most comfortable way to get along.

Friendship and love are hard-won, love needs to be managed, and friendship needs to be maintained by both parties.

And if you let it go and don't care, the friendship it has accumulated will dissipate quickly, and it will never return to its original appearance.

Liu Qingge thought, this period of time is probably the most decadent period of time, she feels that she has failed in everything she does, and there is a thick fog ahead, and the road under her feet is blurred. She didn't dare to take a step lightly, and taking a wrong step would be doomed.

And at this most uncomfortable time, the attitude of the friends around me is even more uncomfortable.

Friends are of good character, kind to you, caring for you, and will choose to help you when you encounter difficulties. But it's not easy to find a friend, and it's even harder to find a confidant who knows cold and hot.

Liu Qingge was in a bad mood, and the whole person looked sad.

Maybe at this time, we should find a reader little angel to relieve it?

There is a lot of information in the group every day, and in order not to be tempted to water in the group every day, she changed the mode of receiving information to receiving messages but not reminding.

Secretly rubbing up the chat history.

It took me a while to finish reading, and after reading it, Liu Qingge's heart was cold.

I felt so depressed that I was about to vomit blood.

She completely blocked the group, blocked the discussion group, and finally simply cut off the network.

She didn't eat at noon and went back to the dormitory to sleep, and climbed into bed to sleep after taking a shower after class in the afternoon. She didn't want to receive any news from the outside world.

As for updates? It's broken, and few people watch it anyway.

Liu Qingge knew that her state was wrong, but she couldn't rely on Ah Zheng this time.

She had to survive on her own.
