Chapter 4: Newcomers are hard to mix
As a writer, perhaps the greatest happiness is to write freely, and then the content written, even if it is a piece of, can still be sought after by countless readers, favored by big publishers, and paid huge fees.
However, such writers, all of them are the kind of famous writers, great writers, their own fame, can make readers choose to buy without reading the content of the book, even if they don't read his books, put them on the shelves and pretend to be forced, it is a kind of effect, friends see you actually read the book of this great writer, and immediately feel that you have good taste, admiration arises spontaneously......
There is no doubt that this kind of status and realm is what most writers are pursuing, but the reality is cruel, and many writers need to consider many things before writing a new book, especially when pursuing commercial writing that requires more readers to earn higher manuscript fees, the most important of which is the screening of readers.
Different worlds, different eras, readers' preferred work style, work content, must be different, if you write a virtual online game novel in this era, it will definitely make readers confused, even the Internet was not born, actually write online game novels?
In fact, if you want to write an online game novel, you must first become the kind of big writer who writes a piece of that is very popular, and then write a science fiction novel that predicts the birth of the Internet and sets the Internet in detail, and then "fictionalizes" the setting of online games under this setting, in that case, readers will definitely be amazed that a big writer is worthy of being a big writer, the brain hole is too big, and there will be such a fun thing as online games in the future. It's too far away!
Then readers hurriedly asked scientists, inventors and the like to study and invent the Internet, and after the real invention was made, countless readers must have to bow down to this great writer. This is not only a great writer, but also a great prophet!
It's a pity that Wang Defu is not such a big writer who can be popular for writing a piece of, he is not even an amateur writer now, and the works he writes cannot be directly seen by readers, he must first choose to choose a platform to publish his works.
Wang Defu is probably in a state of self-confidence now, and he has almost regarded his future self as the kind of author's father who can feed to readers wantonly, and the readers' sons will definitely say that it is really fragrant while eating, so he directly singled out the best-selling novel magazine of this era - "Novel Monthly".
"Novel Monthly" is the earliest and most popular literary anthology of readers from all walks of life at home and abroad, and is sponsored and published by the Commercial Press. Edited by Yun Tieqiao and Wang Chunnong, the style belongs to the Mandarin Duck and Butterfly School.
The so-called Mandarin Duck and Butterfly School is a novel of talented and beautiful women, which refers to novels that treat literature and art as leisure goods and write about all kinds of sorrow, eroticism, tragedy, and bitterness of talented and beautiful women, which belongs to the category of romance novels.
Maybe a hundred years later, "Novel Monthly" will become a more literary journal and magazine, but in this era, it is a pastime for the citizen class, and it is clearly an "online novel" in this era!
Because most of the online novels are also for the reader's pastime, the online novel that can make the reader feel interesting and refreshing is a good online novel.
The Commercial Press, to which "Novel Monthly" belongs, is also the largest private publishing institution in the Chinese Empire, if it is compared to a group engaged in online literature in another world, then it is undoubtedly China Literature Group, and the platform of "Novel Monthly" is.
Just like the rookie writers of later generations, who always feel that they can become gods in the previous book, Wang Defu also feels that he can be a god in the "Novel Monthly", solve his own economic problems, and then let himself go, treat readers as sons, even if he writes a piece of, he can also make readers worship......
However, when he further collected information about this novel magazine, he found a cruel fact, that is, this magazine will not accept submissions from pure new writers at all, and even the writers serialized on it are not unknowns, but the big writers of the literary genre of Mandarin Duck Butterfly, almost all of them have their own fans and traffic, which is also one of the reasons why the sales of "Novel Monthly" can occupy the first place for a long time.
In this comparison, you will find out how good the Internet era is, "Although it is known as the grave of new Internet writers, at least you can still post on the website, and you can really have the opportunity to "become a god with a book", even if the probability is extremely small.
But the leading boss of a fiction magazine like "Novel Monthly" will never accept manuscripts from unknown people, even if he misses the super red book because of this, it doesn't matter, this is the self-confidence of being a leading boss.
Of course, under the Commercial Press, in addition to the best-selling novel magazines such as "Novel Monthly", there are other second- and third-tier novel magazines of various styles, as well as many awards specially set up for new writers, the most famous of which is the "Zhang Yuanji New Writers Award", if you can win this award, you will have the opportunity to publish a short story in the "Novel Monthly" to test the waters.
However, it is ironic that the "new writers" who won the "Zhang Yuanji New Writers Award" have to add quotation marks, and almost no pure new writers can win this award, probably just like the "new king" every year, all of them are new vests opened by old authors.
Zhang Yuanji is the super boss of the publishing group of the Commercial Press, successively served as the director, manager, supervisor, chairman and other positions of the compilation office, and now has gradually faded out of the Commercial Press, serving as the director of the Modu Museum of Culture and History, he can be called the great publisher, educator and entrepreneur of the empire, and has made outstanding contributions to the development of Chinese cultural publishing and the collation and publication of outstanding national cultural heritage.
During his tenure at the Commercial Press, the Commercial Press developed from a book printing workshop to the most influential private publishing enterprise, and the "Zhang Yuanji New Writers Award" was established for his contributions to the Commercial Press.
After half a day of research, Wang Defu found that a pure newcomer author went to the best-selling magazine under the big publishing house, which is simply asking for hardship, unless you have a relationship behind it and can ensure that your manuscript is noticed by the editors, otherwise even if you submit more manuscripts, you will only sink into the sea.
After all, this is not an era in which everyone has the opportunity to write as a writer.
