Chapter 412: Switching to "Chinese Novels"

What Wu Di didn't expect was that she was obviously very satisfied with this "Money and Love", but she was rejected by "Youth Sacrifice".

The reason, of course, is that this novel with a spicy satire on reality is not suitable for "The Sacrifice of Youth", and it has nothing to do with youth fiction at all.

In fact, when Su Manwen finished reading this "Money and Love", her heart was naturally very shocked, just because this novel satirized the evils of today's Chinese society too deeply, she really didn't expect Wu Di to have such attainments in short and novellas!

Among them, the most profound thing for Su Manwen is undoubtedly the "miser" Ye Zhaochen, this guy who is obviously very rich, but he is so obsessed with money, and even abandons family affection for money.

Of course, that Ye Wudao is not a good thing, for the sake of fame and fortune, he directly abandoned Ye Xiaowan, who swore by the mountains and seas in the past, at the end of the novel, Ye Wudao is simply a copy of Ye Zhaochen, I always feel that these two men are father and son, and the kind and compassionate Ye Xiaowan is alternative.

If in this "Money and Love", many characters choose "money", then Ye Xiaowan chooses "love", that strong contrast, all of a sudden makes their respective characters plump, and it also expresses the praise of true love and the attack on the concept of the supremacy of money.

Su Manwen said to Wu Di with a wry smile: "Xiaodi, when I read this article, if it weren't for the fact that the background of this novel was entirely our era, I would have thought it was a masterpiece written by those famous critical realist writers in history." Suffice it to say that your article is so great that publishing it in The Rite of Youth is a complete insult to it. Xiaodi, in this year, you have made too much progress in writing, and you just wrote "The Official History of the Three Kingdoms" earlier. Now there's another classic novella...... That's amazing! ”

After obtaining Wu Di's consent, Su Manwen decided to transfer Wu Di's article to "Chinese Novels", a magazine most suitable for critical realist novels.

Different from "Harvest", the magazine "Chinese Novel" is a traditional fiction magazine with a commercial nature, so it has high requirements for articles, and the short and novellas on it must achieve the coexistence of commercial value and artistic value, and there is no doubt that Wu Di's "Money and Love". It's such a work.

After Su Manwen transferred this article to "Chinese Novels" for Wu Di, she naturally asked Wu Di for a manuscript again, and this time she also made a clear request, asking Wu Di to write pure youth campus novels, and not to write articles like sharp knives at every turn......

Wu Di did not shirk. For her, writing an original youth campus novel. The previous adaptation of Eugenie. The critical realist novel of Grandet is much easier. She is very good at writing now!

At this time, in the editorial department of "Chinese Novels", Xu Pei, as a senior editor in charge, was reviewing the manuscript.

With the status of "Chinese Novels" in pure literary magazines, there are actually some bad habits, that is, ordinary amateur writing enthusiasts submit articles to it. Often, the editor won't even look at it.

The biggest competitor of "Huaxia Novel" is "Harvest", and Xu Pei heard a colleague complain at this time: "The recent sales growth rate of "Harvest" is too fast. The market for pure literary magazines is so large, and with its growth rate, the status of our "Chinese Novel", the best-selling pure literary magazine, seems to be in jeopardy......"

"There's no way, who let the "Harvest" magazine harvest a trump card before - the genius beautiful girl writer Wu Di, this Wu Di's talent, I think in today's China, no one can compare, and neither can Huaquan Mirror!" One editor asserted.

"You're exaggerating, aren't you? Hua Quanjing is the youngest winner of the Dun Spear Literature Award, and Wu Di has never won other more important literary awards except for the Newcomer Literature Award. ”

"That's sooner or later! Have you read the critical realist novels she published in Harvest? Even Mr. Yuan Longchuan said that Wu Di's realistic novels are a must-read for him! Not to mention the "Official History of the Three Kingdoms" that she recently made, in which she wrote those ancient poems, I am afraid that even Yun Mushan, a representative of classical literature, can't write them! ”

"This Wu Di is really powerful, it's just a Wenqu star...... It's a pity that she is too young, the traditional Chinese literary world has always paid attention to qualifications, and she is so sharp now, she will definitely be suppressed. In the past, Qin Zhisi was obviously fully qualified to win the Dunmao Literature Award, but in the end he only received one nomination, and it was because of this. ”

……

Xu Pei listened to her colleagues' comments on Wu Di, and of course admired Wu Di's literary talent very much, if it weren't for her more introverted personality, she would definitely participate in the discussion.

At this moment, the staff in charge of receiving the manuscript came to the office excitedly and said to the editors: "Wu Di's manuscript, recommended by Su Manwen, editor-in-chief of "Youth Sacrifice", ......"

All the editors in charge got up one after another, and someone immediately said: "Su Manwen recommended it?" That must be a good article, "The Rite of Youth" is a bit like a pure literary magazine...... Show me! ”

"I'll review, I'll review, I was still discussing Wu Di just now, but I didn't expect her manuscript to be there!"

"I bet that as long as the word Wu Di appears in the magazine, the sales of our magazine will definitely increase!"

The editors were arguing, and they even adopted the method of guessing to decide who would review Wu Di's manuscript first, and Xu Pei naturally participated...... She didn't expect that she would be the one who won in the end.

With an inexplicable excitement, Xu Pei temporarily put aside other works and began to read Wu Di's "Money and Love" carefully, she is actually a lover of Wu Di's romance novels, and this time she can see Wu Di's pure literary works, she is naturally very much looking forward to it.

Xu Pei read it very carefully, mainly because there are more dry goods in the whole article, especially the content involving collusion between officials and businessmen, and some operating methods are simply eye-opening to Xu Pei, and as a critical realist work, the first thing to give the reader the feeling that it must be true, and there is no doubt that Wu Di has really done this with her experience far beyond her peers.

And Wu Di's foothold, whether in her previous life or in this life, also ensures that she has a lot of material, unlike some writers who fantasize about "the emperor uses a golden flat burden".

After reading this article, Xu Pei fell into deep thought and couldn't extricate himself for a long time...... (To be continued......)
