The three magazines that have been drafted are "Fireworks", "Latecomers" and "Wishing Letters". As for www.biquge.info "Thoughts" and "Proverbs", they are still waiting for a reply.

The reason why they were chosen is that these three magazines will publish two editions of AB every month, which means that the demand for manuscripts is high and the hope of manuscripts is high. These things were all studied by Yu Bai in his previous life, so there was no difference.

If there is a difference, it is an unexpected speed.

Regarding this issue, Yu Bai asked Zhao Xueman in detail about the content of the email reply, roughly saying that the manuscript was approved, and then there was the contact information of their editor, that is, the deduction, as for the manuscript fee, it was only mentioned, and it was likely to be discussed during the chat.

Yu Bai is a veteran and a novice.

In the past, most of the experience of manuscript fees was to bargain with novel websites, and it was the first time to discuss with a magazine editor like this, but the routine should be similar, nothing more than saying that your writing is good, you have potential, etc., and then give a price or something like that.

Yu Bai doesn't have a computer at home, which is one of the reasons why he didn't choose email submission in the first place, in fact, he wanted to have more contact with Zhao Xueman with the help of the stories he wrote by himself.

The fact is indeed developing in this direction, and Zhao Xueman is not only very cooperative to check every time, but also gets an electronic draft and sends it over.

Even Yu Bai sighed, in the end, it was someone who had been in love in his previous life, and the cooperation was such a tacit understanding.

May 11th, morning.

After coming out of home, Yu Bai did not rush to school, but came to the zero point Internet café near the school half an hour in advance.

The Internet café is a black Internet café operating without a license, and there is a mobile phone business hall outside, and the basic business is to charge the phone bill and sell the mobile phone card.

Inside, the light is not very good, even if the two energy-saving lights are turned on in broad daylight, it is still a little dim. There are a total of more than a dozen computers in the whole room, and there are not many people who are online at this point in time, and there are only four or five people, and they are all obsessed with playing the legend of private servers.

I gave the boss two dollars to drive for an hour, and then I found a machine with no one around and sat down.

Taking a deep breath, blowing off the cigarette ash on the keyboard and next to the mouse, and reaching out to still put the two instant noodle bags on the ground, Yu Bai's expression has not been very good, after all, he has not been to an Internet café in this environment for too long.

But when he saw that the boot screen showed the Windowsxp interface, Yu Bai couldn't help laughing at himself.

"It's good to have a computer and access to the Internet these days, and you can't ask for too much."

That's true,Yu Bai remembers very clearly,The first time I went to the Internet café, I couldn't even find the boot button.,From the very beginning of playing CS、Red Alert to playing legend、Warcraft,It seems that the memory of the game is related to the environment in front of you。

couldn't help but look at the Internet café around him again, Yu Bai lost the impatience he had at the beginning, as if he was reunited with an old friend he hadn't seen for many years.

Turn on the computer, even if you are already a computer veteran driver, you still groped for a long time to find the IE browser. Because no one will use this at all when they come to the Internet, and there are few things on the desktop.

Enter the Gmail mailbox and enter the account password that you want back from Zhao Xueman, Yu Bai still misses it a little.

Because his first email address was also Google Mail, but later for some reason, he couldn't use it, so he changed it to a buckle.

Entering the inbox, Yu Bai saw the three replies lying there at a glance.

Maybe Zhao Xueman doesn't often play with the computer, so the submission is not in the correct email format, and the content is entered directly in the mailbox, except for the name of the manuscript and Yu Bai's pen name, there is nothing.

Although he already knew that he had been replied to by the interrogation, not refused, Yu Bai was still a little excited. This excitement is not the excitement of yelling, but the joy of something that has been hidden in my heart for many years, and it is suddenly found like this.

Click on the reply of "Latecomer" casually, and the above reply is like this.

"Hello Yu Bai, your manuscript "Protas Street" has been reviewed and has reached the acceptance standards of the B edition of this magazine, the newcomer strong file section, please contact the editor Qiu Shuiyue as soon as possible to facilitate the discussion of remuneration, contact information ......"

At this moment, Yu Bai's mood is really the same as that of Xiucai, who has been closed for ten years and has been closed for ten years, and has finally been recognized, and the feeling in his heart is simply indescribable.

The reply to the "Wish" is similar, and the manuscript they requisitioned is "Half a year on the left, half a light year on the right".

In fact, these two manuscripts can only be regarded as a small test for Yu Bai, because the manuscript he submitted to "Fireworks" is Yu Bai's ambitious work!

Why is it called an ambitious work? Because Yu Bai wants to take a path that others have walked and succeeded.

The name of the manuscript is called, "Scarlet Years" may not be able to see anything by listening to this name, but if you say two more names, you will be familiar with a lot.

"The Edge of Love and Pain", "Left Hand Reflection, Right Hand Youth".

That's right, it was these two books that made Xiaosi Guo Jingming leap up, in other words, it was these two collections of essays that established his status in youth literature.

Maybe you haven't heard of a certain star as a middle school student back then, but you must have heard of the three words Guo Jingming, if you don't have an impression, then mentioning the bits and pieces of words in it may also make you react.

"I am a child who looks up at the sky when he feels lonely, at the big sun, at the big moon, at the sore neck, at the tears in his eyes. It's true, good boys don't lie. And the things that I paint, the things that look like the illusion of being open in the water, are real. ”

There are a lot of similar words like this in the two books, and maybe you can put them aside because they are full of these sentimental words that make it easy for middle school boys and girls to get infatuated.

The popular point is hypocrisy, and the threshold is between moaning without disease and feeling it.

Who didn't come from back then, and who didn't grow up from that fantasy-loving and self-centered age.

Just like Yu Bai was crazy about Xiaosi at that time, because any adolescent middle school student will fall into him, and every word of these words can hook the softest atrium in your heart.

Once upon a time, the sentimental words and sentences that prevailed on the Internet, and the personality signatures of the post-90s generation in the limelight, were almost all these words. It is not difficult to see the influence of Guo Jingming at that time.

And Yu Bai, although he did not have the achievements of Xiao Si in his previous life, he may only be one of the thousands of people who were affected at the beginning.

Of course, that was before, and now...... There is no Guo Jingming, only Yu Bai.

can start from the bottom of my heart, naked plagiarism Yu Bai is still unacceptable, because whether it is "The Edge of Love and Pain" or "Left Hand Reflection, Right Hand Years" is engraved with Xiaosi's imprint too deeply, or it is completely his story.

It's not like a call for papers, you can just change it and use it. The two collections of essays are more like a continuous freehand of life in the intermittent, but even so, it does not prevent Yu Bai from writing his own things in the atmosphere of his words.

Yes, Yu Bai's plan is very simple, since this style of writing in the previous life, or this style of writing, can prevail, then there must be a reason for him. Since there is one less Guo Jingming in this world, why not let him have one more Yu Bai.

Turning the realization to the email reply of "Fireworks" again, Yu Bai didn't know how the other party would reply, because Yu Bai was ready to be passed before the submission.

After all, the results of the new concept essay have not yet come out, after all, he is still a penniless person, even if other magazines reject the manuscript, it is normal.

"Hello Yu Bai, your manuscript "Scarlet Years" has been reviewed, please add the editor as soon as possible to get in touch, contact information ......"

"Gone?"

Yu Bai was a little confused, he thought about it a lot, but he didn't expect the other party to reply like this, he didn't even mention the least pass, he just said that he wanted to contact them.

With apprehension, Yu Bai added a buckle called Rice Rice.

I thought it would take a long time, but I didn't expect it to be prompted to pass in just a moment.

The experience of his previous life made him understand that there is no need to try to contact the editor and please the relationship at any time to gain any benefits for himself, because whether it is the online literature circle or the magazine industry, it is all about strength, only if you are strong, then there will naturally be.

"Hello, I'm Yu Bai, the author of "Scarlet Years"."

After sending a sentence, Yu Bai was a little anxious to wait for a reply, because he wanted to know what the other party thought.

And Fan Fan obviously doesn't have the habit of ink, and when he saw Yu Bai reporting to his home, he also said his intentions straight to the point.

"Hello, I'm the deputy editor-in-chief of Hanbby magazine, and I reviewed your manuscript, and now I ask you a few questions. First, although your manuscript is very narrative and has a strong ability to control words, it is not a love story, have you read the invitation letter of our magazine before submission? Second, although the manuscript is only 5,000 words, according to the structure of your article, it seems that there is a follow-up, don't you know that we currently only accept long serials from famous authors? Third, you are not the vest of some best-selling author, and if so, please ignore my previous question. ”

“……”

Yu Bai made an ellipsis, but he didn't send it out.

Because he was thinking about it, it was obvious that there were still side effects of his actions. As the other party said, it is not the youth campus love that the magazine likes, or the scope of the subject matter of the magazine's solicitation, and the factor of length.

The most direct thing is to ask yourself if it is the vest of a best-selling author, if it is a previous life, Yu Bai Xing may really be able to say the two vests that he gave up with a shy face, but now......

Shaking his head, Yu Bai's hands began to type replies on the keyboard.

"First of all, I'm not a best-selling author, I'm me, a newcomer. There may be some fame soon, but it doesn't matter now. Secondly, this manuscript, as you said, is not a love story, but at most a prose diary. And as you can see, this is not a stand-alone essay, but a collection of essays that I wrote about my life and stories in my three years of high school. ”

Yu Bai's thoughts were flying, because these things had been established when he was writing the manuscript, so he didn't stop saying it now.

However, the consequence of this result is that the other party does not buy it.

It's also too whimsical for a rookie writer to serialize a long collection of essays in a well-selling magazine.

"That's ...... I'm sorry that at the moment our magazine doesn't accept long-form serials from newcomers, and we haven't tried this type of prose. ”

At this point in the conversation, Yu Bai knew very well that this might be the first time in his life that he had been rejected.

With a long exhalation, Yu Bai's hand unconsciously touched his pocket, but he didn't touch the cigarette, sighed secretly, and prepared to close the dialog box, because it was useless to say more about this situation, and the other party didn't say anything more ruthless to save face.

But just before closing the dialog box, the boxy box vibrated one after another.

Yu Bai's eyes lit up suddenly, looking at the message that the other party had replied again, and muttered a little nervously: Is there a turnaround?

"Yu Bai, I'm glad you can submit to our magazine. Although I was not accepted this time, I liked this manuscript very much, not only me, but also everyone in our editorial department. Maybe if it is published, there may be a market, and some people may like it, but since you are not famous, we dare not take risks, and finally I wish you all the best. ”

I don't know if it's joy, or whether it's time to sigh, it's a euphemistic refusal?

If it is said that the opportunity is for those who are prepared, then Yu Bai still wants to try to work hard, after all, he doesn't want the first rejection to happen like this.

"Can we make an agreement? I mean, if I've achieved something in the recent past, can you serialize my collection of essays? ”

Yu Bai is not a hairy boy who doesn't understand anything, the other party expressed his love for his manuscript, but because he didn't want to take risks, after all, the newcomer's long serialization, if one is not good, they will lose a lot.

"What do you mean?" The other party asked.

"I have participated in the National New Concept Essay Competition, no surprise, I will enter the finals, as for the number of places I dare not guarantee, but what I can guarantee is that I will definitely win the top three. If I can serialize such an achievement, then I will be very grateful, and if not, I still want to express my gratitude. ”
