PS: Ask for recommendations, try to get 30,000 recommendations, please help me.

That's a bit of a rhetoric.

Ms. Kobayashi was also a little crying and laughing, and she was about to explain further euphemistically when her mobile phone rang.

"Sorry, I'll answer the phone."

She took her phone into a bedroom and answered it.

"Sister Li, I'm Xiao Xiao." Editor-in-Chief Xiao said, "I have something I want to report to you here. ”

"Oh, Xiao Xiao, you say." Ms. Kobayashi said kindly.

"That's the case, didn't I tell you one thing a few days ago, I want to increase the manuscript fee for the novel "Brothers" published by the young writer Xiao Fei in our magazine?"

"Well, this should be fine, the report you called to change the manuscript fee system of "Harvest" can also be implemented, my father has already read it, and he said it can be approved." Ms. Kobayashi said.

That's the good news.

Previously, Ms. Kobayashi's attitude was not so clear.

Editor-in-Chief Xiao was suddenly overjoyed.

But she thought of Xiao Fei donating all the manuscript fees of her "Brothers" to the editorial department, and she felt a little sorry.

Editor-in-Chief Xiao feels that "Harvest" owes Xiao Fei something.

Such a sensible and talented boy, the editorial department should give him more compensation.

Now, he has to make such a big sacrifice to maintain the glory of "Harvest", and she really can't bear it.

She was hesitating, Xiao Fei was determined to donate the manuscript fee, should she tell Ms. Xiaolin. She heard Xiao Cheng say that Xiao Fei seemed to be determined to donate his manuscript fee this time. also said that he wanted to set an example for the literary world or something.

"Xiao Xiao, is there anything else?" Editor-in-Chief Xiao lost his mind for a short time. Ms. Kobayashi was a little strange, so she asked.

Editor-in-Chief Xiao gritted his teeth. She felt that Xiao Fei's donation of the manuscript fee for his work "Brothers" might not be a bad thing for him.

At the very least, this helped Xiao Fei establish his good reputation in the literary circle.

"Sister Li, that's the case, Xiao Fei just informed us that he decided to donate all the manuscript fees of the novel "Brothers" to the editorial department of "Harvest......"

Editor-in-Chief Xiao explained to Ms. Xiaolin in detail what happened.

"This kid has a heart." Ms. Kobayashi listened and said. "Then do as he says, notify the media of this matter, clarify the whole incident, and don't let public opinion hold on to this point anymore."

Ms. Kobayashi didn't drag the mud and water, and made a decision directly.

"Okay."

"I will go to the editorial office this afternoon, and let's discuss the implementation of the new manuscript fee system." Ms. Kobayashi said.

"Well, then I'll wait for Sister Li." Editor-in-chief Xiao said.

Ms. Kobayashi hung up the phone and came out of the room.

The three old men were still talking to Ba Lao excitedly.

"Dad, I just received a call from Xiao Xiao from the editorial department. She told me that Xiao Fei decided to donate all the manuscript fees for the publication of "Brothers" in "Harvest" to the magazine, and he didn't want a penny. Ms. Kobayashi said to her father.

"Oh? Did he really say that? Ba Lao raised his eyebrows and asked in a deep voice.

"Yes. Father. Ms. Kobayashi nodded.

The other three visitors were also surprised.

"How much is the total cost of the manuscript fee for "Brothers"?" An old writer asked.

"According to the remuneration agreed with him by the editorial department before, he should get a total of more than 300,000 yuan for this novel." Ms. Kobayashi said.

The three visitors gasped at the same time. That's a lot of money.

"How could Xiao Fei's manuscript fee be so high?" Another old writer asked.

"Brothers" is more than 500,000 words. 100 yuan for 1,000 words, that's more than 50,000 yuan. Under "Brothers" is a separate supplement, which has sold more than 300,000 copies just after it was launched. According to our calculations, it is likely that the final sales of this supplement will reach about 600,000 copies, and at a 5% royalty, it is certain that the total fee for adding a manuscript will exceed 300,000 yuan. Ms. Kobayashi said.

"The novel "Brothers" is indeed very well written, and it should be sold so well." An old writer said, "A huge sum of more than 300,000 yuan, if you say you donate, you will donate, what a big spirit, just look at this, Xiao Fei's child is very amazing." Shame, shame! It seems that I misunderstood him, and he is not the kind of person who is greedy for money and profit. ”

"Tsk! That's more than 300,000! Another old writer muttered a little distractedly.

"Is there so much money for the harvest?" The third old man was a little skeptical.

There are few rich writers, and the vast majority of the old writers who came over before the liberation are frustrated and have a bad life, and it is even rarer to get more than 300,000 yuan for a book.

Therefore, these old people were taken aback by this number.

Ms. Kobayashi explained to the three old people with a proud face: "Xiao Fei is also a young writer who was trained by "Harvest", this child has a good personality, is sincere and calm, and is also generous and decent, it is not strange that he donated so much manuscript fee to us; Since the launch of the brand of "Harvest" magazine last year, each issue of the novel has been sold very hot, and each issue has sold more than 500,000 copies, and driven by the long issue, the retail volume and the number of subscribers are also increasing rapidly, and the profit of each issue of our magazine is now more than one million yuan, and each issue of the long issue can bring about three million profits to the magazine, and the manuscript fee of 300,000 yuan is naturally affordable. ”

When I first heard the news that "Harvest" was going to change the manuscript fee system and increase the manuscript fee significantly, when I didn't know the current situation of "Harvest", I felt that "Harvest" was a bit reckless. Now that I know that "Harvest" can make so much money, it is also appropriate to increase the manuscript fee and let the writers earn a little more. An old writer said with a smile.

"Haha! Old money, the things we write about the old immortals are outdated. I want to be on "Harvest" and want to earn a high manuscript fee for "Harvest". Let's wait for the next life! Another old writer said sourly.

"That's not necessarily, I'm not convinced. Let me tell you, Lao Zhang, I have been holding back a lot of energy, it took me more than ten years to write a long story, and I am almost finished, but I think that this work is of high quality enough to be published in "Harvest"! Old Qian said with a hearty laugh.

"Xiao Qian, you can show Xiao Lin your long story." Ba Lao also smiled and said beside him.

In front of Ba Lao. Old money is still small money.

"Uncle Qian, of course your masterpiece should be submitted to "Harvest" as soon as possible, when it is finished, tell me, I will personally come to pick up the manuscript." Ms. Kobayashi directly submitted the request.

The three old writers stayed here for a short period of time, and they came with a wave of anger, and now, because they heard the news that Xiao Fei was willing to give up a large amount of huge remuneration, their hearts opened. They all felt comfortable and left.

Wait for the old writers to leave.

Ms. Kobayashi said to Ba Lao, "Dad, take a break." ”

"It's okay, not tired. I'll look at the book. Ba Lao said, "You help me bring the supplement of "Harvest" that has just come out, and I want to read "Brother". ”

Ms. Kobayashi brought the magazine over. Began to read to Ba Lao.

As he listened, he closed his eyes and rested his mind. After a long time, he said, "When will you bring Xiao Fei over?" I would love to meet this kid and talk to him. ”

"Okay, Dad, next time Xiao Fei comes to Shanghai, I'll ask someone to call him." Ms. Kobayashi said.

"The novel "Brothers" is well written! I think those critics are too critical, and it's rare for a 20-year-old to write a novel to this extent. Ba Lao said.

"Dad, I think so too."

……

On the morning of December 16, Hexi Provincial Writers' Association.

As soon as I got to work, several guests came to the office of Zhang Yi, chairman of the Writers' Association.

The Writers' Association is a retreat organization, and the chairman does not have much practice, so it is very common to receive visits from writers during work.

"It is not easy for Xiao Fei to be called the author of "Harvest"!" Zhang Yi shook his head and said with a smile.

They were talking about the news that broke yesterday.

"Xiao Fei has indeed published too many works in "Harvest" for more than a year, and "Harvest" is really too fond of him; However, his new work "Brothers" is indeed a rare masterpiece, which can make Harvest a masterpiece with a long supplement issue specifically for him, and it can sell so well, it is normal for "Harvest" to pay more manuscript fees. Fu Mingde, editor-in-chief of Hexi Literature and Art Society, said, "Xiao Fei is a phenomenal writer, he can take on the banner of a publishing house, if any publishing house can cooperate with him regularly, the performance of a year is basically not worried." ”

Zhang Mingyuan, the former dean of Hexi Academy of Literature, frowned and said: "This news will make a large number of domestic writers feel uncomfortable, and it is estimated that it will also have a considerable negative impact on Xiao Fei." ”

While a few people were talking, a secretary knocked on the door and came in, putting a few newspapers on the coffee table.

"See if there's anything new in the newspaper." Zhang Yi picked up the Central Plains Evening News.

He saw at a glance that there was an eye-catching news guide headline on the front page of the evening newspaper: The manuscript fee of "Brother" exceeded 300,000 yuan, which was donated by Xiao Fei.

Fu Mingde picked up the Hexi Daily, and he also saw the same news.

"Oh my God! Xiao Fei is crazy, right? 300,000 yuan manuscript fee, he donated it to "Harvest" without blinking an eye. ”

Fu Mingde exclaimed.

"This kid is really personal, in order to prove his innocence, he reacted so violently...... Xiao Fei's family saw this news, I don't know how they would feel! Zhang Mingyuan shook his head and said.

Everyone in the room was amazed.

300,000 yuan manuscript fee, many traditional writers can't earn this amount in their lifetime, how much can they do in this gradually materialistic society!

I even donated it like that......

This news shocked not only the literary circles of the country, but also the ordinary people.

Xiao Fei donated the manuscript fee, which made those who originally said strange things quickly shut up, and in turn, the entire literary world began to praise Xiao Fei. Of course, in addition, everyone also labeled Xiao Fei as a "fool" behind his back. (To be continued......)
