Frankly speaking, Zheng Long was not mentally prepared. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Writing only one essay and being invited to the authors' conference is unique in the decades-long history of "Budding".

In the early days, many young writers who became famous in "Budding" were also drawn into the authors' conference after publishing several high-quality manuscripts.

Entering the authors' conference marks entering this circle, and you can start to maintain and manage your own network, so as to officially become a member of the literary world.

After all, people are social animals, and many times it is not so much the quality of the work that matters as the difference between you and you.

This should not be said to be a universal law in China.

And the literary world is precisely the place where people pay the most attention to connections. In many cases, it is not the work that speaks, but the connections. This is why many writers are at the peak of their debut, because once they have built up their network, it is almost impossible to get rejected, so most people will gradually stop polishing their work and indulge in network management.

All in all, it's a great opportunity!

Therefore, Zheng Long almost did not hesitate to agree:

"Okay, I'll prepare, I'll go!"

"Okay, okay, Sister Hu and I also want to see what kind of person you are."

As soon as Shi put down the phone, Hu Future came over.

"How's that, is he coming? How are people? ”

"Sister Hu, I said you were too anxious! He agreed to come. ”

"Great! I think our magazine can create a new star again! ”

Shi Yi smiled noncommittally.

Indeed, although "Bud" magazine founded the New Concept Grand Prix and has worked hard to launch many literary stars, there are no particularly eye-catching characters except for Han Shao so far. Since Han Shao published "Triple Gate", he has embarked on the route of dropping out of school, playing with cars, and mixing in the entertainment industry, and rarely publishes works in "Budding" magazine. It can be said that the magazine urgently needs a figure to save sales.

This is also the reason why Shi Yi and Hu Future are so eager to see Zheng Long. Therefore, judging from his only articles, the expressiveness and depth of the content are outstanding, and they are also very worthy of cultivation at this stage.

Shi Yi fell into thinking about Zheng Long.

At this time, a loud baritone came from the editorial office:

"The meeting is over, and the matter of this author conference is now gathered in the conference room, and we will discuss it in detail."

The person who spoke was Wang Gang, the deputy editor-in-chief of the magazine "Sprout", who also wrote many popular novels in his early years, but now he mainly focuses on administrative work.

He and the editor-in-chief of the magazine, Liu Guangguang, do not deal with each other, and they are also fighting openly and secretly in the magazine.

It can be said that Liu Guangguang became the editor-in-chief of the magazine because of his huge influence in the Writers' Association. But Wang Gang is a person with more ideas, and he also came up with the idea of the New Concept Essay Contest, and he also overcame public opinion at the beginning to make the New Concept Essay Contest a well-known brand.

It's a pity that in Chinese society, such a capable person often has to give way to some people with more backgrounds.

However, even though Wang Gang is mainly doing administrative work now, he is also very concerned about the cultivation of potential newcomers.

So, when all the editors gathered, Wang Gang immediately expressed his thoughts on the upcoming author conference:

"We want to define this authors' conference as a feast of young people's literature. The student writers we invite must be very talented and very potential. Let these young writers and friends gather together to learn and live together, and even if they don't take the road of literature in the future, they can meet some very good friends. And these friends will be their very valuable wealth in the future, and I think our magazine should also have such an obligation to cultivate a new force for the Chinese literary circle! ”

Wang Gang's meaning is that the young authors invited this time are basically the main authors of the magazine "Budding", and in the future, these resources can also be used for themselves, and gradually arrange these authors to work in the magazine, and in the future, their own power can gradually surpass Liu Guangguang, and when the time comes for the company to vote openly to elect the president, their chances of victory will be greater.

And Liu Guangguang can sit in the position of president, naturally he is not an idle person, Wang Gang's little Jiujiu in his heart was seen through by him at once. Although Liu Guangguang was a demobilized cadre, he liked to dance and write when he was in the army, and with the recommendation of the leader, he joined the magazine that was still very popular at that time when he changed jobs.

Of course, the efficiency of the magazine is not good now, and everyone has little interest in joining this department, but in those days, the magazine was still a very good unit, famous, idle and rich.

Liu Guangguang took a sip of water and slowly began the leader's speech in a familiar official tone:

"What Vice President Wang said just now is very constructive, and I very much agree with it. The positioning of our magazine is to discover new potential authors, care for these authors, and provide them with a good platform for them to show their talent in writing. However, in terms of specific operations, I have a little immature opinion. As for me, I'm a demobilized military cadre, and I'm just a layman when it comes to writing. Therefore, in terms of what kind of article is a good article and what kind of author has potential, I may not have the opinion of Vice President Wang or you. However, my thought is, should we invite an author who has not published in our magazine to the author conference? ”

As soon as he heard Liu Guangguang's words, Hu Future became nervous. Obviously, these words are aimed at his own author, Zheng Long.

"It's like a young author who has been very popular in our magazine recently, what's his name..."

"It's called Zheng Long..."

The little secretary next to him reminded in a whisper.

"Oh, yes, it's called Zheng Long. This Zheng Long, I read the article he wrote, and it does have some meaning, but it is obvious that the artistic conception is not high, and the style is gloomy. I wonder if such authors, who have never been featured in our magazine, should be invited to the authors' conference? Let's share your opinions! ”

After speaking, Liu Guangguang looked at Hu Future and Wang Gang with interest. After all, it was the two of them who wanted Zheng Long to participate in the authors' conference. Originally, this was nothing, but Liu Guangguang wanted to invite his nephew Liu Cheng to participate in this authors' conference.

Because at this conference, many well-known university admissions directors will visit, and it is very likely that these young authors will be directly given a single enrollment quota from a university.

For Liu Cheng, whose academic performance is not very good, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He has also published several articles in "Budding" magazine, although the level is very average, but as long as Liu Guangguang checks it, he will definitely let his nephew get this opportunity.

However, Wang Gangke was unwilling.

Regardless of whether Liu Cheng is a descendant of Liu Guangguang thoroughly, even from the perspective of the level of works, Liu Cheng's level is not much better than the composition level of ordinary middle school students, at best it is just a work of rhetoric, if such an author is allowed to enter the author conference, it will also be a great harm to the quality of the entire magazine.
