Chapter 59 City-wide Unified Examination

After Guo He finished reading these two ancient romance novels written by "Promise", what satisfied him the most was their endings.

Although the male and female protagonists experienced a lot of twists and turns and ups and downs before they finally became married, which once made him quite worried, the happy ending made him completely comfortable.

He felt that the author, whose pen name was "Promise", was too conscientious and a breath of fresh air among the authors of romance magazine novels.

There are many magazine fiction authors, when they write short stories, they like the whole tragic ending, and the people who love each other end up having no choice but to miss it, and the whole person will be depressed after reading it.

The promised works only brought him warmth, healing and touching, which made him feel the beauty of love.

In addition, the writing of "Promise" also made him admire from the bottom of his heart, and some sentences are really gorgeous and beautiful to the extreme!

His favorite sentence is exactly - if it is the first day of new snow, the full moon is in the sky, there is a bright shadow below, and bright silver is circulating above, and you walk towards me with a smile, between the moonlight and the snow, you are the third color.

Of course, there are also the details of that era that she sketched, so that he read it, and he only felt that the other party wrote novels with special care and great effort, and checked a lot of information.

Otherwise, how could she write about ancient times so realistically, so that she couldn't have gone to ancient times to investigate them herself, right?

All in all, the newcomer author "promised" to pass these two novels, which has already made Guo He initially popular, and he even enthusiastically filled out the reader feedback questionnaire to vote for her works.

In the past, Guo He didn't bother to fill out this kind of questionnaire when he read novels or comics, and he read it after reading it, but it was just a pastime.

There are obviously a lot of readers like Guo He who have been "promised" by newcomer authors.

Therefore, whether it is "Peach Blossom Nuo" or "Half a Pot of Yarn", their readers' responses are quite good.

In the future, you can also use the vest of the musician "Qingge" to write two ancient songs, and the names will be "Peach Blossom Nuo" and "Half Pot Yarn", which are just linked with it, and maybe they can be more popular.

Xu Qingru's expert-level "writing" skills, combined with the ancient materials accumulated from the "material world", made a pretty good start in the field of magazine novels.

"Promise" has also left a very good image for many readers - she is a real warm and healing author, and the ending of her works is always a lover.

It can only be said that Xu Qingru's "nesting" is very successful, and no readers can see through her real purpose at all.

And "Time Fragments" magazine also began to ask Xu Qing to write a long serial novel, after all, she had already proved herself through those two short stories.

In the plan, Xu Qingru's first feature serialization is "Five Centimeters per Second", but she only wrote the beginning, after all, she spent a lot of time on "sleeping", and "sleeping" means being addicted to learning.

"Five Centimeters per Second" is said to be a long story, but in fact it is less than 60,000 words, and it is estimated that it will be published in a magazine and will be completed in only three issues.

She gave Xiao Yuan the opening of the novel, and then also told the other party her plans for this work.

As a result, what Xu Qingru didn't expect was that through her expert-level "writing" skills, and then the localized adaptation of "Five Centimeters per Second", she actually did not pass the serialization meeting of "Time Fragments"!

"Five Centimeters per Second" lost to another work, "We in Summer".

Xiao Yuan, the editor of the magazine, also told Xu Qingru the reason for his defeat.

First of all, "We in the Summer" is a long new serialization of the older romance author "Mannie", her last work was very popular, and the new work of the same genre is obviously not far behind.

Secondly, Xu Qingru's planned "Five Centimeters per Second" has too few words, and Mannie's "We in the Summer" is at least 200,000 words.

In addition, Liu Liping, the editor-in-chief of "Fragments of Time", who is in charge of the modern romance section, strongly supported "Mannie", she said at the meeting: "The strength of the new author is indeed very strong, but the field she is best at is still ancient romance novels, even if she wants to write a long serial, she should also write ancient sayings, rather than rashly transform to write modern romance." ”

Her remarks impressed other editors who attended the meeting.

Each author does have her own area of expertise, and the previous promise of "ancient romance" was so amazing that the editors naturally wanted her to continue working in this field.

After Xu Qingru learned all this, she didn't take it too seriously, since "Time Fragment" couldn't look at "Five Centimeters per Second", then she would vote for other magazines.

Anyway, she is not the exclusive contract author, so she naturally votes for whichever one she wants, so she backhanded "Five Centimeters per Second" to "Youth Sacrifice".

Now her pen name "Promise" has also made a name for herself in the magazine fiction circle, and the manuscript will be submitted to the same type of magazine, and the review editor will definitely pay more attention to it.

As for "Fragments of Time", she suggested that she open a long ancient romance novel, Xu Qingru directly said that she had no inspiration for the time being.

Xiao Yuan mistakenly thought that Xu Promise was angry because of the defeat of "Five Centimeters per Second", she couldn't help but comfort her, she felt that Teacher Promise was talented anyway, and this time the magazine chose to be more optimistic about "Mannie", which was a bit arbitrary.

Xu Qingru still suffers from too little qualifications and too little fame, and business magazines always trust those senior authors with more outstanding historical achievements.

In fact, she didn't pay attention to it at all, things like articles are still very subjective and idealistic, some themes, people who like them will like it very much, and people who don't like it can't read it.

Xu Qingru has not focused too much on the field of magazines for the time being, after all, her primary goal now is to get good grades in the school's midterm exams.

This mid-term exam is still a city-wide unified examination, and the papers are all corrected by the school interchangeably, and the scores are particularly excellent, after all, when the teachers correct the test papers of students from other schools, the stricter the better.

Although Xu Qingru proved herself in the last monthly exam, many people still feel that she is definitely extraordinary, and in the midterm exam of this city-wide unified examination, she, a lazy "sleeping beauty", will definitely be revealed!

The time finally came on the day of the mid-term exams, and the first subject was the classic Chinese subject.

Thanks to the good results of the last monthly exam, Xu Qingru's examination room was directly arranged in the first (2) class of high school next door according to the ranking of 88 in the last grade, so she didn't have to take stationery and went to wait outside other classes in advance.

And if she can be on the top 50 "gold list" in the grade in the future, the examination room will be arranged in the first (1) class of high school.
