With Wang Defu's current reputation in the literary world of the magic capital, since he opened his mouth to recommend the long story called "Dragon Head", how could he completely ignore his opinion, if he really did this, wouldn't it be clear that he would not give Wang Defu face?

The member of the "Magic City Popular Awards" award committee, named Hang Shuitao, is also a senior editor of the famous magazine "Monthly" under the Commercial Press, and he has a great eye, and he has discovered many commercial masterpieces for "Monthly".

It's just that these masterpieces come from authors who have already established themselves, not newcomers.

Perhaps in Hang Shuitao's concept, new authors are always unreliable, and only creators who have proven themselves in other magazines are eligible to publish their works in the "Monthly Bulletin".

It was only a few months ago when Wang Defu's affair spread that Hang Shuitao paid attention to this rising star in the literary world who was still studying at Soochow University in Suzhou.

The first work he saw was, of course, the modern poetry that was as widely circulated as Wang Defu's romance, even if he was not very interested in modern poetry, but he had to admit that there was indeed something in those poems, and the overwhelming interpretation of poetry undoubtedly proved this.

However, he wants to know more about Wang Defu's talent in this genre than modern poetry, after all, he is the editor of the famous magazine "Monthly", of course, he must pay attention to whether the author writes well, if it is not good, then it naturally means that the author's "professionalism" is not right, and no matter how talented he is, it has nothing to do with him.

Then Hang Shuitao saw several of Wang Defu's essays, and read them patiently, he was already shocked by Wang Defu's talent in his prose, although the genre of prose is quite different, after all, the former is basically written about real people and real things, which is more suitable for lyricism, while most of the latter are fictional, and the most important thing is to tell an interesting story that will attract all readers, focusing on conception.

However, in any case, Wang Defu's prose is also vernacular, and the control of words shown in his prose makes Hang Shuitao, a senior editor, feel that even if Wang Defu writes, with his writing, he will definitely be able to make a name for himself.

What made Hang Shuitao the most happy was that the moment he finished reading Wang Defu's "Necklace", he only felt that he had found another piece of jade that had bloomed with brilliance before it was polished!

The strength of Wang Defu in creation shown in "Necklace" has completely exceeded Hang Shuitao's expectations, and he even feels that with the strength shown by Wang Defu, he will directly ask him for a manuscript in the name of "Monthly", then Wang Defu will not let him down!

It can only be said that there are indeed geniuses in this world, and in the field of literature, Wang Defu is a well-deserved genius!

Although "Necklace" is only a short story, Hang Shuitao has no doubt that Wang Defu will definitely surprise people in creating a long story, no way, Wang Defu has proven himself in various article genres before.

Even the literary criticism written by Wang Defu can make many literary circles shine, and then they can't help but praise that some of his views are indeed in a different way, which other critics have never thought of.

It can only be said that Wang Defu, who comes from another future world line, the knowledge and materials he has in his head are too foul, and some of the writing skills and the like he casually proposed may be ahead of this era I don't know how many years.

It is precisely because of Wang Defu's step-by-step and great reputation accumulated in the literary world that Hang Shuitao, the senior editor of "Monthly News", finally took the initiative to contact Wang Defu, and asked Wang Defu very sincerely, bound to win his debut novel.

Hang Shuitao firmly believes that Wang Defu's long-form debut novel will definitely make the influence of "Monthly" to a higher level, and make the very commercial "Monthly" have a stronger literary atmosphere.

For this reason, Hang Shuitao hinted to Wang Defu that as long as Wang Defu's long story is serialized in the "Monthly News", the "Zhang Yuanji New Writer Award", which is the heaviest under the Commercial Press, will basically be determined by Wang Defu.

Perhaps in the eyes of many writers, this "Zhang Yuanji New Writers Award" is the most stylish, the most rigorous selection of the new writer award, and once it is obtained, in addition to getting a lot of bonuses, will also have the opportunity to publish a short story in the "Monthly" to test the waters, if the short story is very popular, then you can naturally become the "Monthly" signed serial writer, 1,000 words starting from 3 silver dollars, this manuscript fee is enough to make many ordinary authors coveted.

However, in the eyes of senior editor Hang Shuitao, this "Zhang Yuanji New Writers Award" is clearly a tool used by their "Monthly" magazine to attract some talented writers.

However, for Wang Defu, a "new writer" who has never been published in many magazines under the Commercial Press, as long as his articles appear in any magazine under the Commercial Press, he will win the "Zhang Yuanji New Writer Award" without any suspense!

With Wang Defu's current fame in the literary world and the literary talent he has shown, is there any iron-clad "rookie writer" who dares to jump out and question the authority of Wang Defu to win this rookie award?

Therefore, Hang Shuitao hinted at Wang Defu in this way, to give Wang Defu such a privilege, he firmly believes that Wang Defu's talent is worth his gamble.

When Wang Defu received the request for the famous magazine "Monthly", he was not as casual as he did with other magazines, after all, the influence of "Monthly" is there, although in this era, it pays more attention to commerciality, and in terms of literature, it is still lacking.

He expressed his gratitude to Hang Shuitao for his request, but also said that he has no plans to create any long-form serials, but it is indeed a very decent thing to be invited by "Monthly News" to become a contracted serializer "one step to the sky".

After all, many new writers may dream of a lifetime to become a contracted serial author of "Monthly News", and this difficulty is probably like becoming a platinum writer of the starting point Chinese network in later generations.

However, Wang Defu was not moved by this, because the contract of signing a serial writer for "Monthly News" was too strict.
