Chapter 17 Xiangjiang Entertainment Dream 1
The bright moon bends to shine on Kyushu, in ancient times, the bright moon is the brightest light source at night, illuminating the road ahead for passers-by who walk at night, passers-by B can see when they look up, it is extremely bright, and the stars are difficult to compete with it. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info but nowadays, all kinds of lamps and lanterns on the ground are much brighter than the moon, and coupled with air pollution, it is rare to see such a bright moon again. But how many modern people are in the mood to admire the moon? Just like the three members of the Han family, Han's father and Han's mother's pastime at night is to watch TV, and they hardly pay attention to whether there is a moon tonight. And Han Nuo, not to mention, is in the computer with all his heart.
Han Nuo has glasses on her nose - she is slightly short-sighted, she usually does not wear glasses, she wears them when she works and on the computer, she can block some radiation - the lenses reflect the ghostly light emitted from the screen, Han Nuo concentrates and completely immerses herself in the world of words.
…… Write novels. Since Jin Dada wrote martial arts novels and founded Ming Pao, from the 60s to the early 90s, many famous novelists were born on Hong Kong Island, all of whom became rich and famous upper-class people by virtue of words. What a way out.
Many online articles have written that the protagonist will go back to the past or travel to ordinary time and space to plagiarize the classic works of the earth in the 21st century to make money and make a name, Yue Junxi used to despise this kind of behavior when he read the text, but now that life is compelled, she has to be despised by readers along with her.
Yue Junchu chose for a long time in her memory, and finally chose the novel "The World of Great Controversy", in fact, she prefers Yueguan's "Back to the Ming Dynasty as a Prince", but this is Moonlight's masterpiece and famous work, or leave it to the author himself. "The World of Great Controversy" can only be regarded as medium in Moonlight's novels, one more is not more, and one less is not less. But just by crossing this stalk, with the theme of the Spring and Autumn Struggle, in this modern era, it will definitely explode other novels.
"Chapter 1, Ten Good Men"
Yue Junchu still stretched out her magic hand to "Return to the Ming Dynasty as a Prince", she felt that the beginning of "Return" was very interesting and could arouse the interest of readers.
Without a computer, Yue Jun can only write by hand, thanks to the original owner for having a good handwriting ability, otherwise Yi She has a handwritten handwriting in modern society because of the operation of the keyboard, and the first impression to the editor is that she definitely does not think that such a poor character can write good novel content.
It took a month for Yue Jun to forget to sleep and eat, and finally finished writing "The World of Great Controversy", she packed the contents of the first and second volumes in a brown paper bag, and personally took the car to the headquarters of "Ming Pao". She is very interested in "The World of Great Controversy", but if she only sends the manuscript to "Ming Pao" by sending a letter, she is afraid that the editor will not pay attention to it and delay time. The money in her hand is getting less and less, and there is not much time for her to delay.
……
It's normal to be rejected, she's just a student who has just graduated from high school, young and immature, who would believe that she can write a good novel? No matter how Yue Jun recommended "The World of Great Controversy", he was ruthlessly rejected. Yue Jun didn't give up, followed behind a female editor, and tried hard to recommend his novels.
“…… The so-called great struggle is to fight for comprehensiveness, to fight thoroughly, to fight for a long time, and to fight for cruelty and ruthlessness. The combination of disputes in the spring and autumn for about 300 years is like spring water melting the river ice, breaking the suffocation and closure of the classical federal kingdom era, the emergence of iron tools, the activity of commerce, the shaking of the well field system, the weakening of the authority of the Son of Heaven, the emergence of new landlords and scholars, and the life state of the whole society is greatly enlivened. And so, the old system collapsed, the old culture was destroyed, the lowly civilian slaves like crockpots thundered and restless, the high mountains collapsed, and the deep valleys rose into towering mountains! Entering the Warring States, this strife finally evolved into a great strife, and a thorough competition for strong survival began. If you are weak, you will perish, and if you are backward, you will be beaten......"
"You don't have to say, your novel, if we don't publish it, we won't publish it. I still have to work, don't bother me. Hurry up, or I'll call security. The female editor said impatiently.
"......" Yue Jun stopped in disappointment and sighed. Forget it, "Ming Pao" doesn't believe her, let's go to other newspapers and periodicals, there are so many newspapers on Hong Kong Island, he doesn't believe that none of them can "discern things".
"Wait a minute, that little girl just now, you wait a minute." A middle-aged man in his forties opened his mouth to stop Yue Junxi, "You just said such a big pass, it's quite interesting, which article are you talking about?" ”
"It's the background of my novel." Yue Jun answered the man honestly, she had a hunch that this man was likely to become her nobleman.
"Can you show me your novel?" The middle-aged man asked.
Yue Jun couldn't control the surprise and immediately handed the kraft paper bag forward.
The man took the paper bag and said to Yue Jun: "I'll go back to the office and see, you can come with me." ”
The man led Yue Junci into the editor's office area, and Yue Junci saw that all the editors, including her previous request for a female editor, respectfully addressed the middle-aged man: "Editor-in-chief." ”
"You are the editor-in-chief of Ming Pao?" Yue Junchu was taken aback, did he catch a big fish?
"Yes, my surname is Dong, my name is Qiao, little girl, what about you?" Dong Qiao asked.
"Ah, my name is Yue Junchu." Yue Junchu didn't know Dong Qiao, but he also knew that the editors-in-chief of "Ming Pao" were all very accomplished and famous people in the field of literature. Indeed, just like the editor-in-chief Dong in front of him, graduated from the Department of Foreign Languages of Cheng Kung University on Bay Island, studied at the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London for many years, and successively served as the editor of the "World Today" book series, the producer of the British National Broadcasting Corporation and the current affairs commentary, the editor-in-chief of "Ming Pao Monthly", the editor-in-chief of "Reader's Digest", and the Chinese and Chinese language consultant of the Open University of Hong Kong City. In the future, he will also serve as a director of Next Digital and the president of Apple Daily in Hong Kong City. Editor-in-Chief Dong's writing is profound, elegant, and healthy, combining the depth and timelessness of English prose with the fun and agility of Ming and Qing dynasty sketches, which has opened up a new path for contemporary Chinese writing and has won the love of readers. He has published books such as "Another Mood", "The Affair of This Generation", "Race with the Chinese Dream", and "The Twilight of Dialectics".
"Sit down." Dong Qiao took Yue Junchu to his office and asked the secretary to make two cups of coffee, "You can read the magazines and books in the office casually." ”
Yue Jun nodded and took a magazine in his hand to flip through it. After Dong Qiao arranged for Yue Jun to drink, he took out the manuscript of "The World of Great Controversy" from the brown paper bag and looked at it carefully.
The first page is the title of the novel, and only the words "The World of Great Controversy" are written; The second page is written with a synopsis: "The reborn son, Zhong Ni is in high spirits, Yan Zi is dying, Sun Wu has not completed his military book, and the doctors are fighting for the strong Jin will die...... As the son of man, he bravely crowned the world, once he took revenge, the world moved - the big husband, this is enough. When the body is shining, looking at the canopy, where are the people in the autumn water, the mulberry forest in the corner of the city, the quiet girl is hesitating, the dove is closed, and there are more gentlemen - good men, what more can the husband ask for? In the world of great contention, the world is winning the championship, and the celebration is not dead, what about the world? ”
The atmospheric introduction saw Dong Qiao nodded again and again, he was interested in his article when he heard Yue Junchu interpret "The World of Great Controversy" loudly, and after reading this introduction, his expectations increased even more, and he turned the page to browse the text, and was attracted to it after only reading the first chapter. The office was silent, except for the sound of turning pages. Half an hour later, Yue Jun finished reading a magazine, looked up at Dong Qiao, and saw that he was completely immersed in the book, did not speak, and took another magazine and flipped through it. Half an hour later, Yue Junchu took another magazine...... After reading four or five magazines, he finally saw that Dong Qiao had finished reading all the manuscripts, and Yue Jun was about to speak, but found that Dong Qiao had read it from the beginning again.
Yue Junxi: "......"
But this time Dong Qiao watched it quickly, and it was all over in half an hour. Putting down the manuscript, Dong Qiao looked at Yue Junxi, with undisguised appreciation in his eyes. I didn't expect the delicate and tender little girl in front of me to write such a passionate novel.
"Miss Yue, we accepted your novel in Ming Pao, and we will arrange for it to be published in the near future. What do you think of the remuneration of 60 yuan per thousand words? ”
Yue Junxi didn't know the salary of literati in this era, but Jin Juju was very picky, and the manuscript fee was very small. Dong Qiao is his employee, and he must implement his philosophy. She decided to give herself a go.
"Mr. Dong, can you add some more? You can also see that "The World of Great Controversy" is a wonderful book, and if it is published, it will definitely attract a large number of readers. ”
"Miss Yue, you are just a rookie author. We can't pay you too much, otherwise the old authors will be unhappy. ”
Yue Jun pondered: "In that case, try your luck with me going to the Oriental Daily again." ”
As he spoke, he stood up, took the manuscript, and made it look like he was leaving.
Although Dong Qiao didn't want to be threatened by Yue Junjiu, he saw the value of "The World of Great Controversy" and had to give in: "Wait a minute. ”
Yue Junchu looked at Dong Qiao calmly, and Dong Qiao couldn't help but glance at him twice.
"Eighty yuan per thousand words, no more." Dong Qiao said.
"Okay." Yue Jun knows how to stop in moderation.
"The World of Great Controversy" has a total of more than 1.45 million words, 80 yuan per 1,000 words, and the whole book can get more than 116,000 yuan in manuscript fees, which is a lot of income. You must know that if you work in a restaurant, you can only get a few hundred yuan a month. Yue Junchu immediately signed a contract with Dong Qiao to leave the manuscript of "The World of Great Controversy", and Dong Qiao generously paid Yue Junchu a check of 60,000 yuan.
Holding the check, Yue Jun breathed a sigh of relief. The tuition fee for going to college is there, and the living expenses are also there, even if she no longer writes novels, 100,000 yuan is enough for her to spend for several years. The first step was to find a new house to move out, the old house in the village was old and dilapidated, and it was too far away from the city to go to school and run errands.
