Jiang Yang didn't want to move for the time being.

Another place reminds me of Jiang Yang, that is, the pure literary magazine "Qiu Shi" that Jiang Yang contributed to "Ordination".

Different from the semi-monthly magazine of science fiction magazines, the literary magazine "Autumn Fruit" is a bi-monthly magazine, that is, it is published every two months, and as a domestic pure literary palace-level publication, its draft selection is very strict, and the editors are even literary bigwigs, even if not, the authors excavated by the old editors are either strong contenders for international literary awards, or bigwigs who have been on textbooks.

Wen Xue is one of the editors.

Of course.

Wen Xue is still far from reaching the achievements of the old editors above.

As a middle-aged editor in the editorial department, the authors he excavated are still in the new generation and the Mesozoic era, and they are just making achievements, or they are already famous, but they are still famous. Wen Xue's dream is to dig out a literary bigwig.

He has also been working hard for it.

But.

He's been a bit struggling in the last few days.

His old mother because of family inheritance, macular degeneration of the fundus, vision deterioration, now the eyesight is up to three meters, Wen Xue in order to see his mother, and check the information, and ask for leave to take his mother to see a doctor, physically and mentally exhausted.

Now the condition is stable.

Wen Xue breathed a sigh of relief.

He sat on the subway and swiped his phone to see what the writers were up to.

Then, he swiped a news item about blind people.

Wen Xue: ......

This damn big data.

Wen Xue was just about to brush away, when he suddenly saw Jiang Yang's name.

"Huh?"

Wen Xue is strange.

How did Jiang Yang get involved with the blind.

Wen learned to know Jiangyang.

Although Jiang Yang is only turning clouds and rain in the circle of genre literature for the time being, the circle is so big, it is difficult for Wen Xue not to know the Tao, not to mention, who has not had an unbearable green years.

Ten years ago.

That is, when Wen Xue was still in graduate school, fifteen-year-old Li Yu had just made his debut. At that time, Wen Xue was chasing a girl, and he heard that this girl liked Li Yu, so he spent a lot of money to buy two concert tickets and took the girl to Li Yu's concert together.

And then—

Wen Xue still remembers the picture of the concert, Li Yu stood on the stage, the light of the mobile phone turned into starlight and waited gently, all eyes focused on her, she seemed to have light on her, standing on the stage is suffocating, making people crazy and excited, making people listen to the song and falling, making people want to stay on that day and feel like they want to die.

That picture has not faded in Wen Xue's memory.

Since then, Wen Xue has become a fan of Li Yu, and even on the barrage of the concert video on the Internet, when others swiped "I don't know which stupid boy will be cheaper in the future", he replied: "I'm not smart when I'm young." ”

Afterward.

Probably because of the big demon king, he became buddies with the girl who watched the concert together.

When talking about the Great Demon King, they are still rivals in love.

Only not a couple.

And then later.

He graduates, he works, he gets married.

When Li Yu retired, he felt that his youth was over.

And—

When he heard the news of Li Yu again, it was that she was married, and her husband was Jiang Yang, who wrote books.

At this time, Wen Xuezao had lost his enthusiasm for ten years, and just sighed lightly, it turned out that ten years ago, the stupid boy they were crazy envious of in the barrage and comment area looked like this.

Right now.

Wen Xue looked at the photo, Jiang Yang was running with a visually impaired person.

His mother is now also visually impaired.

Wen Xue was once very worried, because his mother was not a person who could stay at home, she couldn't see clearly, she couldn't see, and she wanted to go out for a walk and bask in the sun, but it was impossible for a child to stay by her mother's side all the time.

But I'm not around, and I'm afraid that she will stumble-

Seeing Jiang Yang pulling the visually impaired people running, shining, Wen Xue's heart warmed.

Maybe.

This is the best footnote to youth, as if Li Hua and Han Meimei are together.

Wen Xue smiled and went to see something else.

When he got off the subway and entered the magazine, he just pushed the editorial department away, and when he heard Lao Huang calling: "-Lao Chen, your new manuscript is too perfunctory, you should be you Jiang Yang, come to me to cheat the manuscript fee." ”

Wen Xue couldn't help but smile.

Although his memories of Jiang Yang are those, in their editorial department, Jiang Yang is most praised for cheating manuscript fees.

That's right.

It's "Rejuvenation".

As the editorial department of a leading domestic literary journal, they also pay attention to international literary magazines. Therefore, when Jiang Yang's "Rejuvenation" was published in foreign mainstream English literary magazines, their editorial department was surprised and delighted.

What was surprising was that Jiang Yang unknowingly appeared in a well-known foreign English literary magazine.

The good thing is that Jiang Yang is not only a genre of literature, but also amazing as soon as he makes a shot in pure literature.

And then—

Just when they were looking forward to Jiang Yang's article, they saw foreign writers' comments on Jiang Yang's "cheating manuscript fees".

At first, the people in their editorial department were not convinced.

Although Jiang Yang has never been involved in serious literature, judging from his talent in genre literature, such as children's and science fiction, no matter how bad it is, it is at most a mediocre work, and it is impossible to evaluate it with cheating manuscript fees.

However.

After they saw Jiang Yang's article "Rejuvenation", the colleagues in the editorial department were dumbfounded.

This is a blatant fraud of manuscript fees.

This is simply after being commissioned, Jiang Yang didn't think about it, and sent a long outline to a foreign literary magazine with a little polish. The editorial department of a foreign literary magazine is also cheating on sales, and it is really used.

Wen Xue thought of the difficulty of many domestic writers' articles being published in foreign magazines, and admired Jiang Yang's cowhide of cheating manuscript fees!

Actually-

Jiang Yang just doesn't know.

If he knew that foreign countries and Wen learned their evaluation of cheating manuscript fees, he would be surprised: "Damn, you can see it." ”

On the short story of "Rejuvenation"-

Many people have seen the movie of the same name, know the achievements of the film, or know that its author is Fitzgerald, the author of "The Great Gatsby", and think that "Rejuvenation" is amazing.

But—

Fitzgerald wrote this short story and it was published in a popular entertainment magazine at the time.

He originally intended to make money for the manuscript.

At that time, readers liked to read short stories, and Fitzgerald was very famous, so the magazine paid a lot of money for short stories like Gerald, and Gerald and his wife happened to spend a lot of money at that time, so these short stories were created.

But Gerald himself doesn't like these kinds of short stories.

In the letter, he said that the more I earn from this pile of trash (trash) that I write, the more lazy I am to write.

In order to save the dignity of the article, later generations said that these short stories were the product of Gerald's abandonment of the long story, so it is not wrong to say that "Rejuvenation" is a long outline.

Of course.

Even if the Great Demon King writes saliva songs, what he writes is the ceiling of many composers.

The same goes for Gerald.

Even if he cheats the manuscript fee, in the few places where the short story of "Rejuvenation" is written, his literary brilliance can't help but let the words escape from the running account of daily life, and suddenly burst out with a hint of fairyland-like brilliance or absurd tones.

So—

Lao Huang took the phone and continued: "-You are so easy to cheat the manuscript fee, you also have to have Jiang Yang's ability." ”

After hanging up the phone, Lao Huang greeted Wen Xue and asked him about his family with concern. Then, I heard the editor-in-chief call them for a meeting to discuss the issue of the magazine.
