Chapter 283: The article was published in Harvest
Su Manwen also told Wu Di a good news, that is, her "A Bite of the Tongue" has passed the review of the editor of "Harvest" magazine, such an interesting and high-quality book review collection, written in this very creative way, even the editors of traditional magazines with high vision, are very appreciative.
Of course, if there is no Su Manwen's contribution from it, perhaps such articles will not be able to appear in the field of vision of these traditional editors, which can see the importance of connections.
After all, at this time, she was famous in the poetry world because of a poem "Generation", and at this time I heard that her novel "A Famous Book on the Tip of the Tongue" was going to be published in "Harvest", which naturally made people very concerned, and this can undoubtedly confirm Wu Di's talent in literature!
It has long been said that although the sales of "Harvest" magazine are not high, it has a pivotal position in the traditional literary world, which is the literary position of many traditional writers, but this time, it was attacked by Wu Di, a high school student!
I don't know which insider revealed that Wu Di had used the pen name "Huanxi Sha" to submit articles to many traditional literary magazines, but he was always turned away, and some editors even said that they often couldn't read the submissions of such nameless little people......
And now, Wu Di's prose, novels, and poems have aroused so much praise on the Internet, and even "Harvest" has published the other party's novels, which obviously proves that Wu Di's own strength has reached the height of traditional writers!
By the time the first issue of "A Bite of the Tongue" was officially serialized in Harvest magazine on sale, the sales of "Harvest", which had only sold more than 100,000 copies, exceeded 500,000 copies at once, making almost all traditional purely literary magazines red-eyed......
Pure literary magazines have not been selling well. They all rely on word-of-mouth to eat, like traditional literary magazines with good word-of-mouth and good sales, such as "Chinese Novels", "Essay Encounter", "Countercurrent", etc., their editors in charge who have good strength and vision themselves can always discover articles that are both connotative and readable, so that they can always discover articles that are both connotative and readable. Sales went up.
But in this world, how can there be so many articles that are both connotative and readable? If it is a business magazine, it will definitely choose the kind that caters to readers, while a pure literary magazine obviously chooses more substance, even if it is difficult to understand.
Traditional magazines, the most important thing is word-of-mouth.
"Harvest" really has a big harvest, that is Wu Di.
Many traditional magazines have begun to wait and see. If Wu Di could maintain the standard when serializing "Famous Books on the Tip of the Tongue", they would naturally put down their shelves and ask Wu Di for a manuscript.
In fact, many traditional literary magazines have secretly regretted that they did not adopt Huanxisha's manuscript in the first place, otherwise, it would not be "Harvest" that would have been able to seize the opportunity.
The one in Harvest magazine. The editor, who was good friends with Su Manwen, was praised by the editor-in-chief. Although "Harvest" has always insisted on not placing any advertisements, it is of course happy to see the increase in sales, especially at the same time as the increase in sales, it has also gained word of mouth.
Wu Di because of her own youth, as well as her works. has become a real focal point, so many newspapers and magazines have sent reporters to interview some authors who have established themselves in the traditional literary world to see what they think of this genius junior.
The youth literary circle is just a small circle after all. The top writers in China are all traditional writers, and the traditional literary world is the real elite literati circle.
A senior editor in the traditional literary circle once said that it is very simple for a truly good traditional writer to write a commercial work for people's entertainment, as long as he masters the routine skills and relies on his writing skills, he can succeed in writing casually, but those commercial writers who have been unscrupulous for money will have a lot of difficulty in getting them to write articles with ideas and connotations.
The traditional literature of China in this parallel world has a very high social status, and naturally many classics have been produced.
At the same time that Wu Di was in the spotlight, Tianjingsha's "Five Centimeters per Second" won two heavyweight newcomer literature awards in one fell swoop, namely the Zhuang Chongwen Literature Award and the Feng Mu Literature Award won by Yao Qiong that year.
According to Su Manwen, editor-in-chief of "Youth Festival" magazine, the mysterious Tianjingsha will appear in Qingzhu City that day to receive these two very important newcomer literary awards!
In other words, the mystery of Tianjingsha is finally about to be revealed!
Who could she be? Countless reporters began to look for clues everywhere, if they could find out the true identity of this Tianjingsha before the awards, they would definitely increase the sales of their newspapers!
Zhang Yixiao, a reporter from a literary newspaper, was given the task of interviewing various celebrities in the traditional literary world to see what they thought of Wu Di and Tianjingsha, the two dazzling new stars in the literary world.
Zhang Yixiao came to the door of a traditional writer named Qin Zhisi, he is actually a talented writer, twenty-eight years old this year, he was born in the political lord Qin family, he entered the traditional literary world smoothly at the age of twenty, published "Naluo", "Night Talk" and other famous articles that shook the literary world, when everyone thought that he would have a glorious future and become a real great writer, he chose to commit suicide blatantly...... Unsuccessful.
At the age of twenty-one, he entered the Department of Literature of Zhongdu University with excellent grades, went to a bar to meet a bar girl, and committed suicide by jumping into the sea together, but the other party died, and he attempted suicide again. He was prosecuted for aiding suicide, and then his confidante in high school, a prostitute in a nightclub, came to comfort him, and the two lived together and made a private agreement for life, which made the Qin family a laughing stock in high society, but the children of the noble political tycoons wanted to marry the prostitute? He was expelled from the Qin family as a matter of course, and his originally privileged life was gone, and he even had to rely on this confidante to fund his tuition.
The entire literary world was bemoaning the depravity of this literary genius, and even the University of Zhongdu ordered him to suspend his studies for self-examination, and then he became obsessed with ancient poetry. Later, he was finally able to return to Zhongdu University, and with some friends in the literature department, he produced some magazines, and in order to make a living, he was also forced to write some business articles, lost his original aura, and was despised by the traditional literary circles.
At the age of twenty-six, he was destitute, put down his shelf and went to apply for a job at a magazine, but he was rejected and ridiculed as a matter of course, and he tried to hang himself again when he couldn't bear it...... Unsuccessful.
After six full years, at the age of twenty-seven, under great pressure, he exhausted his efforts to write a "Retrograde", which shook the literary world again, and was nominated for the Dunmao Literature Award, one of the three major literary awards in China, but "Retrograde" was finally defeated due to public relations factors, and was hit hard, but it boosted the sales of the novels he had written before and slightly improved his life.
Zhang Yixiao knocked on the slightly dilapidated door, and originally thought that it would be Qin Zhisi's prostitute confidante to open the door, but only to find that it was Qin Zhisi himself who opened the door, and he was still holding a box of medicine in his hand......
Zhang Yixiao looked at it, isn't this a sleeping pill, thinking that this genius writer is a "suicide controller", he hurriedly went in and snatched the sleeping pill to prevent the other party from committing suicide again, but when he thought that the other party had attempted suicide twice, he inexplicably had a weird idea of "let him commit suicide, he won't succeed easily anyway".
