47. Peak loop turn
Of course, Wu Di also learned that the article submitted by a certain eldest lady did not even pass the news of the preliminary round, not only did he not have any sympathy, but also had a good show, he was actually very happy to complain about Wu Di, which was a very pleasant feeling.
In the leisure time of the afternoon, the two sat leisurely on the bench under the shade of the tree, Wu Di smiled and said in a joking tone: "It seems that your article lacks Bole in this world, I think you didn't have a little setback on the literary road in that parallel world, but I didn't expect that after coming here, I participated in a small essay competition, and I couldn't even pass the preliminary round." On the contrary, it is a game that I wrote casually, but it was easy to pass the preliminary round. ”
Wu Di gave him a roll of the eyes, and had to admit that Wu Di's ridicule and complaining about her was really inadequate, but Wu Di had always indulged him, she was such a tolerant and generous girl, and she didn't have too much to win.
There was no matter of the preliminary round, Wu Di was only slightly stunned for a moment, and then she didn't pay attention to it, maybe it was really because her article happened to not have the appetite of the reviewers, after all, no matter how well the article was written, it could not satisfy everyone.
However, this still inevitably made her disappointed in this essay competition, and she will not be bored with herself in the future.
Wu Di looked at the girl's demure and elegant appearance, today she did not tie a ponytail, but casually draped her waist-length long black hair, wearing a butterfly hairpin ≥∞, still picturesque, like a fairy.
Inexplicably, his heart softened, and he couldn't help but wrap the girl's little hands with his own hands, restraining his joking tone, and instead said domineeringly: "Let's get a publishing house ourselves, I know your real writing level, and you don't need anyone to agree!" ”
Wu Di let him wrap her hand. enjoyed his protection with peace of mind, but really didn't take the matter to heart, although her nickname of "Wu Dacai Girl" in the class was pushed out to ridicule her, and secretly many people looked at her jokes and gloated.
Especially a boy named Ma Linshan, after learning that Wu Di's submission did not pass the preliminary round, he jumped up and down. Calling himself the "Emperor of Prophecy", he talked about his "foresight" when he met people, and asked other members of the dormitory to prove his vision.
But sometimes the development of things is so dramatic, the mountains and rivers are full of doubts, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village.
It didn't take long for Wu Di to receive a courier, and then Wu Di accompanied her to get it, and after opening it, she found that it was a sample issue and manuscript fee list of "Sprout", as well as an editor's letter......
For this article by Wu Di. This issue of the magazine also has a separate section for it, called "Historical Brushstrokes".
Wu Dimo held the sample magazine, quietly turned to the page, but had nothing to say, completely stunned, looking at the title called "Bright Pain" and the author's name "Wu Di", he suddenly realized that he was actually slapped in the face by the eldest lady Yun lightly. It's a novel and depressing taste.
It seems that it is completely unwise to mock the eldest lady in the matter of writing.
Wu Di opened the editor's letter. Sure enough, there was also a notice of her preliminary round, and in the editor's letter, the other party explained why this notice was late.
It turns out that before the reviewers look at the manuscripts of the preliminary competition, there is a screening process before, and this process is based on the number of words - those manuscripts with too many words and too few words are excluded, after all, the preliminary competition clearly stipulates that the number of words submitted is about 5,000 words.
If Wu Di's article is no more than 10,000 words. Maybe it won't be ruled out, but it actually reached more than 30,000 words, which is too uncompliant, so it didn't even have a chance to be reviewed by the reviewers, and was directly sent to the scrap pile. Fortunately, it was at the top, otherwise there would not be this situation.
Editor-in-chief Liu Changtian found this pearl by chance, the reason is that he was attracted by Wu Di's beautiful handwriting at a glance, and then he read it with the mentality of trying it out, and the result was of course immersed in it, and then read it three times in a row, and the shooting was amazing!
What's even more dramatic is that the editor-in-chief Liu Changtian didn't know that this article was used to participate in the preliminary competition, but instead decided that it was used to submit to the main publication, which may also be because of too many words, and was not adopted by the editor-in-charge - most of the articles in "Sprout" will not exceed 20,000 words.
Of course, it can also be other reasons, after all, sometimes even if the article is good, the person you submit to is a nobody, and it will not be favored by the editors at all. The traditional literary world has a very strong habit of ranking seniority.
But now, this pearl in the sea has been favored by Liu Changtian, of course there is no problem, Liu Changtian is not a small person, he is the executive secretary, deputy secretary of the party group, vice chairman, secretary general of the Secretariat of the Modu Branch of the Chinese Writers Association, vice president of the Modu Literature Development Foundation, editor-in-chief of "Sprout" magazine, professional writer, and first-level literary creation. Vice Chairman of the Magic City Federation of Literary and Art Circles, member of the National Committee of the Chinese Writers Association. President of the Magic City Writing Society. Adjunct professor at East China Normal University. He can be regarded as a famous man in the literary world, and he is also the mentor of the famous best-selling author Han Er.
Liu Changtian passed this article to all the editors, and couldn't help but beat them to make them more focused, don't miss the really good articles, and he even unceremoniously pointed out that the level of this article can be submitted to our "Sprout" by traditional literary magazines, which shows that powerful writers like the other party are still very optimistic about our magazine.
After reading the article, of course, the editors applauded, even if it was not good, it was good, after all, the boss spoke, but before reading it, there were still people who slandered whether the author of this article had left the relationship with the boss, and I had never heard of a powerful writer whose name was "Wu Di", otherwise how could any editor dare to throw her article directly into the waste manuscript pile...... But after reading it, there was no question, and they all expressed their admiration for the boss's vision.
What's even more interesting after that the editor who was in charge of screening the articles took the initiative to stand up, first self-examined, and then embarrassedly disclosed that this article was an article submitted by a high school student for the preliminary competition of new concept essays......
After Liu Changtian was silent for a long time, he said "The future is terrifying", of course, some editors vaguely raised the possibility of ghostwriting, Liu Changtian only said "See the real chapter in the rematch", anyway, with such a strong personal style in this article, no one can imitate it, it is a mule or a horse always have to take it out.
In the end, there is the express delivery that Wu Di has now received. (To be continued......)
