At noon that day, in order to express his sincere gratitude, Editor Cheng warmly invited Xiao Fei and Liu Ze to come to Hongbin Building for dinner.

Hongbin Lou is a time-honored restaurant in Beijing, with delicious dishes, good reputation and fair prices. In 1998, the restaurant was moved to Exhibition Hall Road due to the renovation of the Xidan business district.

At the dinner table, Editor Cheng thanked Liu Zelai repeatedly.

What he thought in his heart was that if it weren't for Liu Zelai's generosity and vigorous convenience, the signing of "Harvest" today would not have been so successful.

"Mr. Cheng, you don't have to be polite, "Harvest" is my favorite literary journal, and I am deeply honored to be able to do something for "Harvest". Liu Zelai said sincerely.

Liu Zelai's words are true, he graduated from the Chinese Department of Hexi University, and also experienced the stage of literary youth, at that time, his favorite pure literary magazine was "Harvest", every issue of harvest he must see, he felt that every work on the harvest is very readable, not to mention classics, but the quality is certain.

In the years since graduation, Liu Zelai has also been a loyal subscriber of "Harvest".

He found that even though the commercial boom had infiltrated the literary circle, Harvest still maintained its valuable character and the original manuscripts it published still maintained a very high standard.

With such a good magazine, Liu Zelai hopes to continue to run it vigorously.

Even without Xiao Fei's instructions, he still wanted to give "Harvest" a certain amount of care.

He helped "Harvest" this time, and he was willing to help.

Xiao Fei said with a smile: "Teacher Cheng, in the future, I have good novels at hand, which can be recommended to Hanmo Company." In fact, "Harvest" can establish a good cooperative relationship with a book planning company like Hanmo. ”

With the influence of "Harvest" in China. Almost all writers dream that their work will be visible on it and that they will reap the results they have published. If you can establish a good relationship with Harvest, then Hanmo may be able to share these high-quality manuscript sources with Harvest.

The editors of "Harvest" are all top literary editors in China, with a very high level of vision, and the good manuscripts they recognize are also very recognized by the general market.

Xiao Fei instructed Liu Ze to show favor to "Harvest" this time, in addition to the fact that he couldn't sit idly by and watch "Harvest" encounter Waterloo because of his deep feelings for Harvest, it was because of the above considerations for Hanmo Company to befriend the editorial department of "Harvest".

Xiao Fei believes that this time he will pull "Harvest" with his hand. It will be of great benefit to the future development of Hanmo Company.

"Okay, that's no problem. In fact, many of the long stories published in our magazines do not find a single publisher at once, and some even drag on for several years before the single book can be published, because writers seek to publish a single book in order to maximize the benefit of their work. I also want to find a more secure publisher. Editor Cheng agreed.

His words were true.

Take Yu Hua's Xu Sanguan Selling Blood, for example, which was published in Harvest magazine in the sixth issue of 1995, but it was not until 1998 that a single edition of the novel was published.

At this time. This literary classic has been published for almost 3 years.

Editor Cheng knew that Hanmo was a private book company, and that Hanmo was doing a lot now. Launched quite a few market bestsellers.

He has seen a lot of news about Hanmo, the news said. The novel "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" by the owner of Mengbi Zhai launched by Hanmo has sold more than 10 million copies, and the new work "Notes on Tomb Robbery" by the owner of Mengbi Zhai has also reached 2 million copies in the first printing.

Cheng editor also knows. Many writers in the circle have cooperated with Hanmo, and writers have received more royalty income from Hanmo than ordinary publishing houses.

Writing is a hard job.

Some writers work hard for several years to write a good novel and publish it in a magazine, and only by taking the harvest as an example can they get a manuscript fee of 10,000 yuan.

This income level is really too low.

If the strength of the publishing house entrusted by the single book is not good, then it is likely that the writer will not get a penny of royalties!

So, if you can bring more money to the writers who work well with Harvest, why not?

Editor Cheng was full of joy.

The three of them talked happily with each other, and they were full of wine and food, and then they broke up happily.

The next morning, Xiao Fei did not go to school, he asked Liu Ze to talk about things.

At about 7 o'clock in the morning, after Xiao Fei had breakfast, he bought a few newspapers at a newsstand on the street.

He opened the car door, got into the car and began to read the newspaper.

Unsurprisingly, there was news about himself in the newspaper.

Because of the intensive events in the past two days, the Beijing Evening News directly blended several things together and made a full half page.

Zhang Qiang became popular because of the "feces and urine literature incident", and he was detained by the police station for 7 days, and then Peking University also announced the punishment of Zhang Qiang: Probation!

The evening newspaper analyzed Zhang Qiang's mental journey of distortion and mutation, and sighed that a young writer with great potential was likely to completely destroy himself because of his inflated jealousy and selfish desires.

However, this incident may also be a good thing for Zhang Qiang, after all, this "feces and urine literature" incident did not cause too bad consequences, Zhang Qiang was only punished a little, and if he reformed in the future, the future is still promising.

The goodwill released by Hanmo Company to "Harvest" magazine has also been reported in depth by the media.

On the one hand, the media is sighing that pure literature is in the twilight of the sunset, and it needs popular literature to pull it.

On the other hand, the media also gave high praise to the morality of Hanmo. The report believes that literature is weak, and there should no longer be a gateway within the literary circle, but should work together to tide over the difficulties.

"Harvest" has launched a long-form supplement under "Brothers", which is a very rare act.

What's even more rare is that they also held a signing party in the capital for Xiao Fei.

It can also be seen from this that "Harvest" attaches great importance to the novel "Brothers". Media reporters interviewed critics and some readers in the circle.

The critics' reputation for "Brothers" is still not good.

They think that "Brothers" continues the vulgarity and shallowness of the first half, and the story is very lively, but they can't see any far-reaching social significance in this work.

Some critics have even argued that the book is more of a commercial popular novel than a work of serious literature, and that it is too kitsch.

But the response from readers is clearly not the same as that of critics.

Readers believe that "Brothers" is the most serious work of literature to read.

Reading "Brothers" makes you laugh, makes you cry, moves you, makes you depressed, makes you sad, in short, it mobilizes all the emotions of the reader.

The book "Brothers" is a successful irony of the absurdity of reality, and a deep interpretation of the vicissitudes of China in the past 40 years!

"Brothers" is written lively.

But the blood in its bones is desolate and heavy!

Love "Brothers", no reason!

In the midst of this controversy, the long-form supplement issue of "Harvest" launched specifically for "Brothers" sold very well in the national market. On the 14th, more than 100,000 copies were sold in one day, and with more than 100,000 stable subscribers, sales soared to nearly 300,000 copies in an instant.

Generally speaking, a large literary magazine like Harvest can maintain a good operating situation with 50,000 subscriptions per issue.

With sales volumes like the recent issues of "Harvest" in the special issue of novels and supplements, the magazine "Harvest" is no longer a little rich, but can live a very nourishing life.

Of course, the media will also report on the demonic novel "Notes on Tomb Robbery".

According to the data released by Hanmo Company, "Notes on Tomb Robbery" sold more than 80 million copies nationwide on the day it was first released on the 14th, and the situation has reached the extreme.

Based on such a situation, "Notes on Tomb Robbery" is estimated to be a bestseller of tens of millions.

However, it is a pity that although many readers have called and many media have tried to dig out the true face of the author's dream pen house owner, it is a pity that the owner of the dream pen house has not been able to call out for a long time and still maintains the most mysterious posture.

How can one hide so deeply?

A lot of people find it a little incredible.

They firmly believe that the top management of Hanmo must know this secret, or some people within Hanmo will also know it.

However, many people tried their best to get any valuable information from Hanmo.

This is because, even in Hanmo Company, only Liu Zelai and Liu Bei know the secret that Xiao Fei is the owner of Mengbi Zhai!

Both men are tight-lipped people.

And Xiao Fei has never appeared as the owner of Mengbizhai, and it is not easy for the media and everyone to catch some clues.

Unable to find information about the owner of Mengbizhai, the media began to speculate: maybe the owner of Mengbizhai is likely to be a famous writer, who wrote these tomb robbery adventure novels just to make money, and he himself probably did not value these works.

Xiao Fei looked at such a report, and felt a little proud in his heart.

A vest he created has now become famous all over the country, creating miracles in the publishing industry one after another, which gives him a great sense of achievement.

Xiao Fei flipped through the newspaper, and suddenly, he saw such a news: Xiao Fei has become the author of "Harvest", and the editorial department of "Harvest" has offered him a much higher remuneration than other well-known domestic writers, which is extremely unfair to other writers who have always supported "Harvest"!

The news was published in Jinghua Xinbao.

The newspaper reported that the reporter learned from relevant sources that when Xiao Fei published "Brother" in "Harvest", the editorial department offered him a heavy remuneration of 100 yuan for 1,000 words plus 5% royalties.

Based on the sales of 500,000 copies of the 1997 long supplement issue of "Harvest" under the publication of "Brothers", at 10 yuan per volume, Xiao Fei can get up to 280,000 manuscript fees from the harvest!

And other famous artists in China publish a long article on the harvest, and they still get a remuneration of 80 yuan for 1,000 words......
