Chapter 146: The Sensation Brought by "Chinese Literature".
There are two levels of Chinese literature, one is a provincial weekly, which generally only publishes articles by literati in the province.
One is the monthly magazine of the headquarters, which is published once at the end of each month, and the articles published are basically the high-quality articles published in the provincial weekly magazines in the previous month.
There are 50 provincial-level weekly magazines in the country, at least four times a month, that is to say, the more than 100 articles in the monthly magazine are selected from at least 200 weekly magazines.
The purpose of the monthly magazine is not to publish non-high-quality products, which shows how difficult it is to publish an article in the monthly magazine "Chinese Literature".
It is said that in order to ensure the value of the articles in the monthly magazine, the editors of the general magazine and some expert readers formed an editorial committee, which first selected some excellent articles of provincial weekly magazines, and then voted for more than 100 articles to be published in the current issue.
That is, the above article is not something that can be determined by a person, nor is it determined by the reading taste of an editor.
In a word, non-boutique is not on!
This will create a situation: some literati can publish articles in provincial weekly magazines, but they may not be able to publish in the monthly "Chinese Literature" once a year. Not to mention a year, some people always feel that they are a little worse, and they have never been in a monthly magazine for decades.
In this way, the monthly magazine "Chinese Literature" has almost become a holy place in the hearts of literati, and everyone takes the publication of articles on it as the highest honor.
After a year, a person can already show off for a long time if he can have an article published in "Chinese Literature". Well, if it is said that within one period. The same person published three articles on it, so what is the concept?
Su Wen has such treatment!
To be honest, his article was published in the new issue of the monthly magazine "Chinese Literature". Su Wen was not informed in advance. In the past two days, as soon as his "Poplar Praise" came out, Zhou Buping's side had already died down, and it was said that he was admitted to the hospital.
With no one interfering, Su Wen's life was on track, adapting "Thunderstorm" while tracking the progress of "A Doll's House" - perhaps seeing his company's lead playwright give "A Doll's House" the highest praise. Tang Ya personally went out and went to Su Wen's house again to discuss cooperation with him.
Su Wen's conditions were simple. Just go with the conditions offered by Fresh Culture. In this regard, Tang Ya did not talk nonsense, drew up an agreement against the contract of Fresh Culture Company, and simply signed it.
She's bold. Su Wen didn't say much. Signed, saying that the cooperation was pleasant.
As for how Renjia Company operates this work, because of the lessons from the past, Su Wen will not interfere, but just keep abreast of the progress of this matter by contacting Gao Bing.
Everything was progressing in an orderly manner, and Su Wen received a call from Xiao Kewen, who was laughing and happy on the phone. Asked Su Wen if he had read the new issue of the weekly "Chinese Literature".
Su Wen said no, but he quickly found his hand - here I have to say why the monthly "Chinese Literature" can have a status that countless literati yearn for. That's all because of its sales!
The Chinese Empire has a profound cultural heritage and a solid national life, so it is definitely necessary to pursue spiritual enjoyment. "Chinese Literature" has been published for more than 100 years, and with their pursuit of high-quality products, the people of the entire Chinese Empire know that the articles on it are a temporary choice and can be enjoyed as spiritual food.
How big is the need for 2 billion people?
It is said that the monthly magazine "Chinese Literature" sold more than 100 million copies at its peak! Note that this is only the sales of one issue, and there are as many as twelve issues throughout the year!
Of course, that was many years ago. In the past few decades, with the derivation of various cultural channels, especially the development of film and television, and the rise of the Internet, the sales of "Chinese Literature" have also been impacted.
However, even if the impact is not small, it is now said that its sales per issue are still stable at as many as 50 or 60 million copies.
Fifty or sixty million! Every issue! One month! And that's not even counting the weekly magazines that sell more than a million copies per issue in each province! Weekly magazine four times a month!
This is simply astronomical for Su Wen, and when he heard this data, he was only dumbfounded, and he couldn't say anything.
"A country that has almost eliminated piracy, it is simply a paradise for the cultural industry!" In the end, Su Wen could only sigh like this.
The unrivalled sales volume is a symbol of the supremacy of the monthly magazine "Chinese Literature".
Under Xiao Kewen's reminder, Su Wen saw his article.
There are three of them!
It was his three articles in the semi-finals of the Chinese Middle School Student Literature Competition.
"Looking for Li Bai" is in the poetry column, "The Last Leaf" is in the novel column, and "Chinese Youth Says" is in the prose column.
At the back of the three articles, there are the words "Su Wen".
These two words are so dazzling, so conspicuous, and so dazzling here!
Those who don't know the details may have a thought: "There are three people with the same name?" ”
However, these are three articles from the same person!
Su Wen was also taken aback, after understanding how awesome the monthly magazine "Chinese Literature" was, he was also full of shock that he could publish three articles on it at the same time.
It's almost impossible!
In addition, Su Wen also has a suspicion, doesn't it mean that the monthly magazine "Chinese Literature" generally only selects articles published in each provincial weekly, and his articles in the finals have not been published in any province.
"This is the result of Chairman Shui's recommendation, of course, he is just a recommendation, and he can't forcibly pass the opinions expressed, and it still has to be voted on by the editorial committee. In other words, your article deeply touched those judges, and most of them agreed to publish it! Here's how Kevin explained.
Su Wen was shocked by Shui Tianyi's energy.
Xiao Kewen said: "He is the president of the Chinese Imperial Writers Association, the honorary president of the Huaxia Academy of Literature, and the honorary president of "Chinese Literature", so of course his energy is not small! ”
Su Wen saw Shui Tianyi's energy, and wondered in his heart: "Could it be that this Shui Tianyi is showing me his energy and wants me to be tempted." Studying at their Huaxia Academy of Letters? Or is it to advertise the Chinese middle school students' literature contest, and deliberately launch me, the first place, to attract attention? ”
Su Wen's belly is black again! Otherwise, it is impossible to explain the fact that three articles were published in the monthly journal "Chinese Literature" at the same time, because it is so amazing.
Xiao Kewen didn't want to think so much. He was very happy: "Su Wen, this is your honor, and it is also the honor of our province." You don't know that there are only more than 100 articles in each issue of "Chinese Literature" monthly, and on average, only two or three articles can be selected in each province! What is this concept? In one month, four issues of the weekly. There are tens of thousands of articles in 50 provinces across the country, and only more than 100 of them can be selected. A 1 in 100 probability! ”
Xiao Kewen's meaning is obvious. This is an opportunity for one in a hundred, and it is also an honor, and the literati of every province want to go up with their heads, but the unfortunate people have not had the opportunity to be selected for several years or more.
Su Wen was selected for three articles at once. What a glory this is!
It's not just Suwen's glory. It is also the pride of their province, no, Xiao Kewen couldn't stop smiling from beginning to end, and felt that Su Wen gave him a big face.
"In a word, Su Wen, with these three articles in "Chinese Literature", no one will question your literary literacy anymore. Oh yes. You haven't joined our provincial association yet, when did you come over and go through the formalities? I'll be your introducer! Xiao Kewen finally explained.
Su Wen then remembered that the relationship between Fang Chengshi and Fang Chengshi, the former Guangdong City Writers' Association, asked him to join, and he excused himself by saying that he didn't want to beat the children, and he would discuss it after the national finals.
Now that the national finals have ended, and Su Wen has also won the first place, Xiao Kewen has brought up the old story, and he seems to have no room to refuse. What's more, this time it's not the level of Yuezhou City, it's still a higher provincial level!
Hearing Su Wen's promise, Xiao Kewen smiled even more happily, saying that let people prepare various procedures, and Su Wen only needs to fill out an application formal.
After confirming this, Xiao Kewen ended the call.
Next, within half a day, Su Wen received many calls again, all congratulating his article on being published in the monthly magazine "Chinese Literature".
There are a lot of people, first Fang Chengshi called, this girl was full of envy, saying that he had been working for so many years, so he could only mix his name in the provincial weekly magazine, and he had never been selected for a monthly magazine! In the end, he complained about Su Wen a few words, or said that Su Wen should write these classic articles and publish them in their newspapers and publications, instead of drumming up any drama!
As soon as Fang Chengshi hung up the phone, it was Yu Cheng, the head teacher, who called, first congratulated, and then excitedly said that Su Wen once again made him a teacher, and also won glory for the school. He also mentioned that the principal asked him to go back to school to report to the teachers and students, and said that the principal had already mentioned it several times, and this time there was the glory of the monthly magazine "Chinese Literature", maybe the principal would personally come to him to find Su Wen and let him pay attention.
After Yu Cheng, it was Li Xiuying's phone call, saying congratulations very formulaically and asking him to make persistent efforts, and then Concubine Bai Luo took Li Xiuying's phone call and said a few words of blessing to Su Wen.
Following the two of them, it was Gao Bing's call, and there was nothing new, only congratulations, and said that their play "A Doll's House" had been cast, and rehearsals began, striving to be performed in mid-June.
After that, it was his classmate Ma Wenqiang who called, and kept saying that Su Wenqiang was the best friend he had made in his life. Su Wen even received a call from the school flower Lin Yutong, and the beauty said congratulations and envy softly on the other end of the phone, and asked Su Wen where to study at university.
Su Wen dealt with them one by one, and received a call from his parents in the company and school, and the two of them were not only happy but happy on the phone, and even smirked again and again, only saying that they had given birth to a good son, which made them proud and had a long face!
It took half a day of hard work to finally deal with all of them, and Su Wen quickly turned off his mobile phone!
While taking a long breath, he finally appreciated the terrifying influence of the monthly magazine "Chinese Literature" in this country! Almost everyone is crazy about it and rejoices in it!
For those outsiders, Su Wen had three articles published in the new issue of "Chinese Literature" at the same time, which was like throwing a bomb in a calm lake, which immediately caused a big wave and sensation.
Its influence and fermentation soon spread to the entire literary world. Su Wen's name, through this monthly, officially appeared on the stage of the national literary circle! (To be continued......)
