Chapter 8 Another Way to Publish

"How?"

As soon as Shi Yi finished reading, Hu Future hurried over to ask her. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Do you think it's good?"

"Good! It's really good! But..."

Hu Fufu put down the coffee cup and hurriedly asked:

"But what?"

"However, this manuscript doesn't look like it was written by a middle school student!"

"Oh, that's what I thought!"

Hu Future took a sip of coffee and said:

"The sophistication of the writing, the melancholy emotions and profound philosophical thinking shown between the lines, are the current middle school students so powerful?"

Shi Yi smiled.

"Quick, help me contact this author! Is it too late to schedule this manuscript for the next issue? ”

"I'll do my best!"

Since sending out "If There Is No Sun Tomorrow", Zheng Long has also been worried day and night, not knowing when the result will come, or rather, he doesn't know if there will be a result.

After all, this work is Guo Mingming's early work, which is somewhat pretentious and immature in writing and thinking, and may not be able to stand out among thousands of manuscripts; In addition, prose essays are originally a matter of opinion between the benevolent and the wise, and if this manuscript does not meet the editor's taste, it will be deflated.

However, none of these things can be forced, and they can only do their best to obey the destiny of heaven.

In the next few days, Zheng Long had basically adapted to life after being reborn.

Different from time travel, rebirth is just a re-enactment of the life stages that you have already experienced, and it is naturally easy to master it. Especially when those familiar scenes from the past come to mind, it is a wonderful feeling.

After Zheng Long ran out of the school hospital that day, he didn't go back to cancel the leave, which made the head teacher Lin Lili very unhappy and gave Zheng Long a good lecture. And Zhang Meng, who originally looked at himself unpleasantly, even more blew his nose and glared at himself, and he couldn't get used to seeing it horizontally and vertically.

Perhaps in the eyes of a good student like Zhang Meng, a guy like Zheng Long, who doesn't study well and idles all day long, is not as good as garbage at all.

Just like in that world in 2016, in the eyes of Zhang Meng in that world, Zheng Long, who can't afford to buy a house, is not as good as garbage at all.

Their criterion for evaluating people is that other people's families can study well, why can't you? Everyone else can afford to buy a house, why can't you? You can't, so you're rubbish.

Unable to refute.

In fact, why doesn't society simply judge a person in this way?

If you don't be like everyone else, you will be treated as an outlier, and you will be punished unfairly.

Zheng Long was used to this.

The days passed peacefully, and Zheng Long was finally able to calm down and start revisiting some of the knowledge he had learned before. He actually found that mathematics, physics and chemistry, which he used to hate so much, had become less hateful. And the liberal arts and Chinese English, which I used to be very good at, are even more proficient.

Probably because I have experienced the baptism of society, I think reading is a very happy thing.

At the same time, Zheng Long did not stop creating literary works.

Guo Mingming has many works, and Zheng Long feels that he should attack in many places in order to gain the initiative.

After all, even if one editor doesn't appreciate it, it's impossible for all editors not to appreciate themselves. After all, Guo Mingming's works have been tested by the market, although his character is different.

So, what other magazines are worth investing in besides "Sprout"?

It is now 2001, and although pure literature has not completely lost its position, the decline is already obvious -- many provincial-level publications can only barely survive by relying on compulsory subscriptions from government agencies, and those publications that were once prominent in the 80s, such as "Poetry Magazine" and "Star", have also dropped from hundreds of thousands of subscriptions at the peak to tens of thousands, or even thousands. Some magazines have been abolished outright, while others have been downsized.

This is the status quo of purely literary magazines.

Worse is that even in such a mess, the publishers of pure literary magazines still do not realize the seriousness of the problem, but blindly blame the decline of readers' tastes, and the bad choices of the market have led to the decline of pure literature, without taking into account the fact that the quality of their own works is also declining year after year; And if you want to publish an article in a purely literary journal, you have to enter that unfathomable circle, because many journals go back and forth with only a few faces throughout the year, and most of the manuscripts are digested internally.

Moreover, even if you succeed in publishing something in a purely literary journal, it is of little use. The reason for this, which has already been stated above, is that the readership of purely literary publications has shrunk dramatically.

Therefore, the road of pure literature is thankless and must not be taken.

Several youth literary writers who debuted at the same time as Guo Mingming were also very popular in the past, but later they all lived in poverty, the reason was that they chose the wrong route and took the pure literary route of Rauschzi. As everyone knows, this road is getting narrower and narrower, and by the time they react and want to turn back to the market-oriented route, the market has long been occupied by others.

The market is always the most cruel. Some people say that celebrities have been popular for two years; But what about writers and writers? The public's eyeballs are always cherished resources, and the public's eyeballs are changeable. Once you fade out of people's sight and want to come back in the future, you have to put in countless times more effort than you did at the beginning.

So, is it OK not to take the pure literary route and take the low-end publication route?

No, it doesn't.

According to Guo Mingming's future trend, he has walked the low-end route, and will be dug out by the media and anti fans in the future, and then become a point of attack. As everyone knows, from the beginning of the debut, all the steps should be accurately calculated, and there can be no error.

"Xinlei Story" and "South Wind", which are similar to the positioning of "Bud Meng" magazine, were not launched until 2002, is there really no other path, only to be hanged by "Bud Meng"?

Zheng Long calmed down and carefully looked at Guo Mingming's trajectory of fame, only to find that he had forgotten an important media!

Under the Banyan Tree!

Although it has declined in 2016 and few people think of it, in 2001, Banyan Tree as a website still had considerable influence. Moreover, Guo Mingming published a lot of articles under the banyan tree at the beginning, gathered a lot of popularity, and then soared to the sky!

Do what you think!

Although Zheng Long is still in the classroom, his heart has already flown to the website under the banyan tree!

But which article should I choose?

The article that won the first prize in the third session of the new concept has been sent out for several days, and there is still no movement. Fortunately, Guo Mingming won the championship of the New Concept Essay Contest twice in a row that year, and the fourth was also the champion. Because of this, it caused an unprecedented sensation at the time.

- Young writer.

――The only winner of the first prize of the New Concept Essay Contest for two consecutive years!

-- A golden phoenix has emerged from the small cities of the four provinces of Sichuan.

Zheng Long still vaguely remembers the pretentious words and phrases used by the media to describe Guo Mingming.

And those works of his later period, obviously, are not necessarily suitable for this era.

The reason is that Guo Mingming's later works rely more on the integration and management of his personal connections, rather than simply polishing his works. Therefore, in terms of the quality of the works, it is even lower than the earlier works.

The answer is coming! Yes, Zheng Long also thought that the most suitable place to put on the Internet in 2001 should be "Phantom City"!

This novel really made Guo Mingming famous, although the subsequent plagiarism incident made him have a mixed reputation, and even had to bear the infamy of a copyist for life, but it is undeniable that through this book, he has completely established the status of a first-line student in the Chinese literary world!

Back then, Zheng Long and his classmates almost all had a copy of "Phantom City", and everyone read it without sleep or food, and borrowed it to read it if they had no money to buy it, and the popularity was almost 100%. And the repeated reprinting of this book also made Guo Mingming, who had almost nothing at that time, earn a lot of money.

That's right, it's "Phantom City".

At this time, Zheng Long just wanted to write out "Phantom City" as soon as possible and publish it under the banyan tree!

Be famous as soon as possible, this is what Grandma Zhang said! Zheng Long thought so.

So, finally got out of class, Zheng Long patted Lin Chen, who was already drowsy in front of him.

"Ahh

Lin Chen was woken up from a dream and looked a little unhappy.

"You pig! It's time for school to get out of class! ”

"Oooh! Oooh! Class is over, hehe. ”

"Let's go, let's go to the Internet cafΓ©!"
