Chapter 30 Deletion of the work

Wang Defu is very relieved to keep the money he earns to his shrewd and capable sister anyway, he himself is actually not high in material requirements, may be accustomed to the memory of a more modern material life, he lost interest in this era, he is just very glad, at least he did not go to the more backward ancient times, it is estimated that even his own personal hygiene, convenience problems are very troublesome.

However, as a writer, it is absolutely impossible to do without money, writers need to collect styles and materials everywhere to get the materials they want, and this costs money, and even in order to portray the image of a real rich person, they have to experience the feeling of spending a lot of money.

And if you want to make friends with rich people, you can't spend a penny, just like Ling Jingsu invited an expensive Dongying cooking dinner before, he will definitely invite him back if he has the opportunity, this is the socialization between adults.

Therefore, Wang Defu feels that no matter what time he is, he must ensure that he has a work with guaranteed income and a steady stream of manuscript fees every month, which can make him pursue what he really wants without any worries.

In fact, in addition to writing and academics, Wang Defu's ability in other aspects is really not very good, so it is difficult for him to run an industry or something.

On this day off, Wang Defu did not choose to stay at home, but continued to take his sister to appreciate the customs of this era, in fact, he felt that this era is still more ancient, even if it is a new technology researched, it naturally has a classical charm.

Maybe this is related to the reason why this world has not been invaded by foreign enemies since ancient times, but since there has been friction and exchange with another western Brittanian Empire, their respective cultures have begun to influence each other.

On the contrary, in the Brittan Empire, because of the Illuminati Cult, the mind is more imprisoned, and if you continue to rest on your laurels, you may be bombarded by the Chinese Empire, and now the two empires have a good relationship on the surface, but their little brothers are doing all kinds of things under the instruction of the suzerain.

Wang Defu learned more about this era, collected more materials, and then when he returned home, he received a call from Ling Jingsu again, asking him if he wanted to submit "Rain Alley".

Wang Defu refused, saying that this poem was just a flower he borrowed to offer to the Buddha, and it was good to show her alone, and there was no need to publish it publicly.

At that moment, Ling Jingsu was holding an oil-paper umbrella and walking in the rainy alley, which just reminded him of this poem.

In the future, Wang Defu will write a huge story for his world, all the poets from ancient times to the present, according to the dynasty, write their life and past, and attach their masterpieces, Dai Wangshu and his "Rain Alley", will be written into the book by him, so that the people of this world can naturally remember the poets who created these famous articles.

And Wang Defu doesn't need to take their poems to himself, he himself is not good at poetry, because in his time, there is no soil for ancient poetry, and modern poetry is made smelly by some contemporary so-called modern poets, and is complained that "as long as you can press enter, anyone can write modern poetry".

As a result, Wang Defu refused this way, and also said that the behavior of "Rain Alley" only sending Ling Jingsu alone made Ling Jingsu's face in front of the phone flushed, and his heart was soft, and he only felt that Wang Defu, a man with both appearance and talent, was really good at flirting!

Ling Jingsu, a young literary woman who likes modern poetry, of course understands the value of the poem "Rain Alley", and thinks that this poem is qualified to be featured in any contemporary poetry magazine, and makes Wang Defu an instant hit in the entire poetry world.

But what about him, he refused to publish this poem, and said that this poem was only for her to see, if it wasn't for the vague feeling that Wang Defu was not the kind of frivolous man with an oily tone, she would even think that the other party was using this poem to confess!

Otherwise, why did the other party give up the opportunity to gain fame and fortune after the publication of the poem because of her?

However, when Ling Jingsu calmed down, she couldn't help but think about it again, but she did have a deep impression of this man in her heart now, and she also began to be curious about his life trajectory.

Wang Defu also had a very fulfilling rest day, he usually went out and walked around during the day, and continued to write "Love and Sex" at night.

Originally, he wanted to use this book to earn more manuscript fees, but because Ling Jing Su arrogantly raised his manuscript fee to 3 silver dollars per thousand words, he felt that more water was meaningless, and he decided to use 500,000 or 600,000 words before, for a traditional writer like him, 500,000 or 600,000 words is definitely a big novel.

But now, he decided to write about 200,000 words and finish it decisively, and brushed off all the female characters that were added purely for sexual descriptions, and deleted these kitsch parts as much as possible, focusing on the two female characters Zhang Wanyi and Lu Poppy, after all, they correspond to the "love" and "sex" of the book's title.

To put it bluntly, Wang Defu's change made this work of "Love and Sex", whose English name can be translated as "The Unbearable Lightness of Life", suddenly go to a new level in terms of connotation and depth! Let it have more capital to become a masterpiece!

But obviously, this also comes at a price, because when a work has more depth and connotation, and the less content it pleases readers, its popularity will definitely decline, dissuading readers like Wang Defu's roommate Liu Qingshan, who only read H descriptions and don't think deeply at all.

Who can be blamed for this? Of course, I can only blame Ling Jingsu, the boss and editor-in-chief who raised Wang Defu's manuscript fee!

When Wang Defu, a writer who is terminally ill and has no financial pressure for the time being, what he writes can be friendly to ordinary readers, and the most annoying thing is that he can't write bestsellers, he is just writing!

However, Wang Defu is not the kind of person who will pit his publishing friends to death, he told Ling Jingsu some of the methods and models used by best-selling magazines in later generations, such as reader survey feedback, etc., without reservation, and "Red Rose" has also won the favor of more excellent creators because of the skyrocketing sales, the quality of the manuscript has improved a lot, and many advertisers have also come in color.

In other words, even if Wang Defu began to wantonly cut the kitsch part of "Love and Sex", causing many ordinary readers to abandon the pit, the sales of "Red Rose" should not avalanche, isn't this enough?
