Chapter 559: Hitting a Wall

PS: Give me the monthly passes and recommendations that you can't vote for......

Television news is always one step ahead of print media.

That night, Modu TV broadcast relevant news.

"According to this station, Qian Guoyun, a writer in this city, sent a fax to this station at noon today, this is a letter of accusation, but the object of the accusation is the "Harvest" magazine."

"What's going on?"

According to Qian Guoyun's complaint, Harvest had previously sent him a notice of manuscript and planned to publish one of his novels in the spring and summer volume of the 98 novel special issue of Harvest Magazine; However, what he didn't expect was that more than half a month later, that is, at 9 o'clock this morning, Qian Guoyun received a call from Editor Cheng, who said on the phone that Harvest planned to withdraw his manuscript in order to publish an important feature. ”

Qian Guoyun said that this is the so-called important long story that has removed his manuscript, but it is a new work of nearly 500,000 words just written by the famous young writer Xiao Fei.

This made Qian Guoyun very angry.

Qian Guoyun believes that his manuscript has been revised for a year and a half before it has been recognized and given a chance to be published, so how can Xiao Fei's new novel be published as soon as he is finished, and in order to send his manuscript, he has to withdraw the manuscript of other writers? It's so unfair! ”

On the screen, there is a scene of Qian Guoyun being interviewed.

Qian Guoyun angrily talked at the camera: "The harvest is absolutely perverse!" It's hurting the hearts of the vast majority of writers! If this harvest doesn't give me an explanation, I'll fight it to the end! And will call on writers across the country to boycott the harvest, and no one will contribute to the harvest. Let Xiao Fei and other darlings of Harvest Magazine contribute to Harvest! Let's see if a few so-called great writers who are valued by the harvest can afford to survive the harvest! ”

The screen turns. A female reporter appeared and asked, "Teacher Qian, what do you think?" Will domestic writers answer your call? ”

Qian Guoyun sneered and said: "I have received the support of many writer friends, these writers are from this city, as well as from other provinces and cities, and everyone agrees that Harvest has gone too far this time, and those writers who have been treated unfairly by Harvest should unite and let Harvest Magazine see the strength of all of us." ”

The female reporter added: "However, as far as I know, there are quite a few writers in China who support Harvest to do so. Like Meng Lao, he said that "Harvest" has not been easy to live in these years, and it is precisely because Harvest has been insisting on its own philosophy of running a magazine for so many years, and it is precisely because Harvest has been insisting on its own philosophy: only the best literary works are published! It can be recognized by so many readers and writer friends in China. After receiving this temporary retraction, Meng Lao believes that although it is inappropriate, it is also excusable if it is beneficial to the development of the magazine. In addition to Meng Lao, there are also a large number of outstanding writers who expressed their support and harvest during the interview. What does Mr. Qian think about this? ”

Qian Guoyun sneered again and again: "They are all vested interests, of course they said so, they occupy the harvest page all year round." Many of their works are really not well written, but they can still be sent out on the harvest, which can only make ordinary writers more angry. ”

The female reporter seized the loophole in Qian Guoyun's words: "Say so. Does Mr. Qian think that the harvest only focuses on the famous and despises the newcomers? Can I understand it or not. In fact, your work is better than most famous artists, but you have not been able to get your work published in such a big journal as Harvest. That's why you're unknown? ”

Qian Guoyun felt that there was something wrong with the reporter's words, but he was talking angrily at this time, and he nodded frequently without thinking too much about it: "Yes!" Indeed it is! Take the long story that I originally planned to publish in this harvest, I think that my manuscript is better than more than 90% of the long stories in China! Just give me a chance and I'll be able to stand out! There is no doubt about it! ”

The female reporter smiled, she probably felt that Qian Guoyun's words were a little unashamed.

If you are really talented and well-written, it is actually very easy to get ahead in China, after all, if you write well, there will be readers who like it, write it well, and you will have the opportunity to sell it after it is published.

There is no way to cheat this.

Qian Guoyun has been writing for so many years, and he is not popular or black until now, and he has not even won a few small awards, which fully shows that the strength of his works is not very good.

A normal person can think of this after a little thought.

Besides, the Chinese people are humble and cautious, and Qian Guoyun is so boastful of himself in front of the camera, he has fallen behind.

The female reporter asked again: "Mr. Qian, you are now in a stalemate with the harvest, so what should you do with the manuscript that has been taken down?" ”

"I believe that as long as it's gold, it will shine! As long as you write well, you can definitely get published! If I don't get this manuscript, I will give it to other magazines to publish, I believe that there will always be Bole in this world who can appreciate my book! Qian Guoyun said.

……

Qian Guoyun sat by the TV and finished reading the news report.

He smiled wryly.

The news is out, and now, don't even think about it with the harvest.

"Guoyun, I think, you did a little reckless this time, you are so noisy, I guess you will not have a chance to be on "Harvest" in the future."

Qian Guoyun's wife said at this time.

"I don't like to hear what you say, I don't have a chance to be on "Harvest", but I am also famous, the writer who dares to expose the ugly face of "Harvest", I am the only one in China! Besides, there are so many periodicals and magazines in China, and if there is no harvest, can't I submit my manuscript to other magazines? For example, "Contemporary", "People's Literature", and "Beijing Literature" are all magazines with the same name as "Harvest", and if my novel can be published in the first three, the effect will be the same. Qian Guoyun said.

"Well, I'll wait for your good news." The wife pouted.

The next day, the news about the incident also came out in the newspapers.

Qian Guoyun's family ordered the "Xinmin Evening News", and he also went down to buy several other major newspapers in Shanghai.

He wanted to see how the newspapers were reporting.

At this glance, Qian Guoyun's nose was almost crooked.

The headline on the "Xinmin Evening News" is: Xiao Fei's new work is world-class, there is no doubt about it!

The title is in quotation marks, indicating that it is quoted from someone's words.

In addition to this main headline, this report also has a subheading, and the subheadline is even more stably: "The writer published a complaint to Harvest because he was retracted, and Harvest Magazine responded: The retraction was because it was poorly written!" ”

After Qian Guoyun finished reading it, a mouthful of old blood almost didn't spurt out.

He was busy reading the content. He wanted to see who had said such a bad thing.

Subsequently, he saw Editor Cheng's original words, and Editor Cheng's original words were still very euphemistic, but said that after Qian Guoyun's long manuscript was sent, the editor and the editor-in-chief were not optimistic, and felt that the quality of the writing was not good enough, and it could not meet the standard of receiving and publishing manuscripts. But in order not to embarrass the writer, the editor-in-chief made a lot of suggestions for the writer to revise the draft.

According to the editor-in-chief's suggestion, if the writer changes it, it is almost equivalent to rewriting it once.

But Qian Writer was very tenacious and really changed it.

But after changing it once, it's still not good. The editor-in-chief patiently proposed revisions again. Qian Writer continued to revise according to the opinions.

After changing it back and forth, the manuscript was changed to a considerable extent, and it was barely able to see it in terms of harvest.

The editor-in-chief was moved by the tenacity and hard work of Writer Qian and decided to give him a chance......

That's probably how the phrase "too poorly written" on the submark came from.

When Qian Guoyun saw this, his heart was full of humiliation! He never thought that the harvest promised to post his own long story for the sake of his efforts, and he took pity on him......

It turns out that my painstaking long story is just a chicken rib in the eyes of those people!

Qian Guoyun is going crazy.

Literati have a proud bone, and he has always thought that he wrote very well, but he was unlucky, so he couldn't become popular.

Now, Editor Cheng is very direct about saying that he writes too poorly......

How could he endure this?

Qian Guoyun held back his anger and read the news in other newspapers.

He found that these newspapers rarely supported him, but praised the spirit of self-financing and insisting on publishing only classic works after so many years, and at the same time, they also showed a strong interest in Xiao Fei's new work "Life and Death Fatigue", and Cheng also gave a detailed description of the novel's content, language style, humanistic spirit, and story synopsis.

These contents alone account for the vast majority of the report, and the content of mentioning his money and national fortune is only a small bit.

How so?

Where is the righteous heart of these media?

Is it okay to be the one who is taking care of me, and is it okay to be the victim to be the victim? How can you help in the abuse?

Shouldn't you media unanimously denounce Harvest magazine's overlord clause and the suppression of ordinary writers?

Qian Guoyun is so sad and kind-hearted.

For the first time in his life, he began to wonder: Is he really bad at writing?

No!

This is not the case!

Qian Guoyun thought a little manically, it must be these media who have reaped the benefits, so they are embarrassed to join forces to persecute me!

It must be so!

Qian Guoyun was so encouraged that he decided to take the initiative and submit his manuscripts to other large literary journals.

But he never dreamed that another series of heavy blows awaited him.

With his manuscript, he confidently went to find Modu Literature first. The literature and harvest of the magic capital are on one building in the same compound, which can be regarded as the two iconic literary journals of the great magic capital.

The weight of Modu literature may be a little worse than the harvest, but in the minds of domestic writers, Modu literature is also a very good literary journal.

If this novel of his own can be sent out quickly in the literature of the magic capital, this can be regarded as a slap in the face. (To be continued.) )
