Next chapter

Su Wen silently stopped the ghost story column. ⊙。 ⊙

To say that it is silent, that is relative to the reader. When they woke up and got the new issue of "Kyoto Life News", the image turned to the literary version, and they suddenly found that the familiar words were missing. waited until they didn't find Su Wen for two or three days in a row, and they finally knew that the Su Wen ghost story that had been serialized for nearly a month was gone!

"What's going on, why is it gone?"

"What about good ghost stories, and what about good forever?"

"If you don't have it, you can get used to it, this is Su Caizi's style. People also say that there are no good fairy tales! ”

Having said that, many readers are still a little unaccustomed to it and feel quite lost; Of course, there are also those who celebrate with the crown, cheering and shouting, this scary ghost story is finally over!

Many writers also breathed a sigh of relief, especially those literary artists who had violently criticized Su Wen, and felt that this was a great victory. They thought that Su Wen, a young man, had finally woken up under their diligent criticism, turned back to the shore, and stopped tinkering with the unproductive ghost story.

Even if he is a writer who is good friends with Su Wen or values him, he is relaxed and thinks this is a good thing.

The only person who feels bad is Wang Shao, the editor-in-chief of "Kyoto Life". Seeing that the sales of the life newspaper were rising, of course he knew that it was the effect of Su Wen's article, and he was about to make persistent efforts to climb the sales peak, but Su Wen told them not to play.

Su Wen was quite kind, and told the life newspaper two days in advance, informing them of his plans and letting them prepare early.

I remember that when the editor-in-chief Wang heard Su Wen say that he wanted to end the ghost story, he was a little disappointed and a little lost, but he quickly adjusted that Su Wen had a criminal record after all, and his fairy tales were so popular at that time, especially the launch of "Little Silk in Wonderland", the momentum was so strong that even the fairy tale god Yang Jie had to retreat when he came.

It was in this way that Su Wen decisively stopped the fairy tale column. Began to tinker with ghost stories that made more people criticize.

Fairy tales are still treated like this, so ghost stories will stop when they are stopped, and Wang Shao has nothing unacceptable.

However, when he asked Suvin what article he planned to continue his column. Su Wen did not give a positive response, only said that he had been writing for a long time recently, and he was physically and mentally tired, both physically and mentally, and planned to rest for a while.

At this time, the editor-in-chief Wang panicked. Thinking together, I immediately asked: "Someone dug the corner of the wall and dug you over at a high price?" ”

"No, I really want to take a break and think carefully about the next way to create." Su Wen replied.

Wang Shao didn't believe it and asked about the time he needed to rest.

Su Wen said: "This can't be determined, Editor-in-Chief Wang, you also know that you need inspiration to create this thing." ”

Wang Shao was even more suspicious, others he didn't know, the "inspiration" needed for Su Wen's creation. In his opinion, it is as simple as a normal person drinking water, drinking water is to drink it with his head up, and Su Wen writes when he writes with a pen, and he doesn't need any inspiration at all!

It's really amazing in terms of the quantity and quality of Su Wen's creations!

Wang Shao has personally witnessed those continuous fairy tales and ghost stories. A few thousand words a day, for Su Wen, it seems that there is no obstacle at all.

This kind of creative madman, saying that he wants to take a break for a while to find inspiration, can editor-in-chief Wang not think about it?

It's just someone else, but Su Wen is not the famous literary young man who just came to Kyoto. After a month or two of serialization in the Kyoto Life Newspaper, it was not a column that was better than a column, so that more than two million readers in Kyoto continued to get used to Suwen's writing, his fame and fame. It's not the Wuxia Amon of the past.

Especially after the baptism of fairy tales and ghost stories, the sales of life newspapers have been rising day by day, breaking records again and again, which has allowed people in the industry to see Su Wen's energy.

One person prospers the country, this statement is a little exaggerated, but it is said that one person prospers the newspaper. That's absolutely fine.

Today, the name Su Wen also represents the sales of three and a half million copies. Whether it is a big newspaper or a tabloid, if there is one person who can help them increase the sales of three or five hundred thousand copies, the whole person is their God, and it can be worshiped by the ancestors.

These days, those newspaper people are constantly circling around Su Wen, moving up and down, this is the reason.

Of course, Wang Shao is not worried about what small newspapers Su Wen will go to, no matter how much money he gives, a tabloid is a tabloid, whether it is influence or appeal, it is not worth mentioning, Su Wen goes, it is self-destruction of the Great Wall.

However, their "Kyoto Life Daily" is not the largest newspaper, and there are more than a dozen newspapers in Kyoto that sell better than them and have a deeper influence than them.

If these newspapers and periodicals vigorously poach people, few writers can resist this temptation, because it represents a higher influence, such as newspapers and magazines such as "Huaxia Weekly", which sell tens of millions of dollars per issue, and everyone has to look up to it!

After thinking about it, Wang Shao could only ask the boss and make the decision to continue to raise the price for Su Wen.

At first, Su Wen was worth a thousand words and a thousand yuan, and later it was three yuan a word......

Now, how much is appropriate?

Six dollars per word!

That's the value of a great writer.

Su Wen shook his head and didn't say anything.

The boss of Life News gritted his teeth and continued to raise the price, eight yuan per word!

This is the value of top writers, as famous as Wang Wang, the pen has been cultivated for decades, if it is a newspaper serialization, it is estimated that it is also this price, the market is at most ten yuan per word, and no matter how high it is, it is a special case.

Life Daily felt that they treated Su Wen as a person of the level of Wang Forget and Shui Tianyi, which was considered a big blood, and if Su Wen didn't agree, they would scold their mother.

"Editor-in-chief Wang, it's really not a matter of price, I really want to rest for a few days." Su Wen still said like this, in order to make Wang Shao feel at ease, he thought for a while and made a promise, "Editor-in-chief Wang, is this okay, as long as I want to publish an article in the newspaper, I will give priority to your life newspaper, okay?" Don't worry, I'm not ungrateful, and I keep in mind the help that life has given me. ”

"Pre-emption?" Wang Shao smiled bitterly, seeing that Su Wen really didn't look like a fake, he agreed, and finally asked him to notify him as soon as he had an article.

finally sent Wang Shao away, and Su Wen breathed a sigh of relief.

If you want to rest, it's really not a pretext, what article to post next, even Ma Junwu asked him several times that he didn't let go of his inspiration The rhetoric is indeed an excuse, he wants an article, but he can't get it? Where to think more.

But because there are too many choices, he is a little entangled. The serialization of ghost stories told him that if he chose incorrectly, or if the path was too different from the reading tastes of this era, his creative journey would not be smooth sailing.

This made him more vigilant and more cautious about what to write later. There are many things to choose from, such as fantasy, magic, science fiction, novels, philosophical thoughts, local beauty, new poems, ancient poems, love poems, tragies, comedies, tragicomedies, tragicomedies, all in the brain, some of the latter two categories do not want to write, and the others have to be pondered.

So, be quiet for a few days, observe more, think deeply, and it's never too late to make a move.

Su Wen didn't expect that he wanted to think about some things quietly in his spare time, but the reality did not let him get his wish, and the development of a thing quickly pushed him to the forefront and suddenly became a headliner! (To be continued.) )
