Chapter 020: The First to Eat Crabs

The first way Su Hang chose to make money after his rebirth was literature.

Literature, decades later, is already a foreign and somewhat clichéd word for most people.

Serious people who are engaged in literature!

In this era, it is not outdated.

Reasons for choosing.

As far as the situation of Suzhou and Hangzhou itself is concerned, the main reason is that the threshold is low, and there is enough paper and pen.

In addition, Suzhou and Hangzhou also have a foundation.

Every teenager who loves to read idle books since he was a child probably will not lack the dream of being a writer.

The same goes for Suzhou and Hangzhou.

When I was in school, I fantasized about it, but I thought it was too high to attain.

When he dropped out of school and entered the society, there was a period after the millennium, and there was a big explosion of youth literature, looking at the young people who also dropped out of school early and could earn millions of dollars with a book, which attracted some experts to help analyze how young people should spend such a huge amount of money at first glance, and Suzhou and Hangzhou were inevitably envious.

So I started writing.

At that time, I was only twenty years old, energetic, and mentality, with the accumulation of my youth, I wrote intermittently, although I didn't make any fame, but I also published a few articles one after another, and earned a lot of pocket money.

And then there's now.

Back in 1995, Suzhou and Hangzhou also found that they had two more advantages.

The experience of two lifetimes.

and, the knowledge that comes with sharpening your memory.

This is a characteristic of many excellent writers, because only if you can come up with enough things in your head, can you still write good articles after greatly cutting down and combining.

Suzhou and Hangzhou also have personal experience.

Usually, only two or three of the carefully prepared ten materials can be used in the article.

The truth is extended, if there is only two or three points of accumulation, under the compression again, it will definitely write something bad.

Su Hang roughly judged that his current self, compared with the state when he used to write things occasionally, is not only ten points of accumulation, but twelve points are not enough.

External aspects.

This is also a very suitable era for engaging in literature.

Because of the restrictions of the times, books, newspapers and magazines are still a very important form of entertainment. And because of the opening of the times, around the turn of the millennium, it can be described as a marketization explosion of books, newspapers and magazines, although many of the old-fashioned ones were eliminated in the wave, but also emerged a large number of high-quality products with sales of hundreds of thousands and millions.

Of course, the deepest impression of Suzhou and Hangzhou is youth literature.

In the past, the concept of youth literature was clearly proposed after 2000, starting with the New Concept Essay Contest of Sprout magazine a few years ago.

This lively event, which has lasted for many years, not only brought back to life a magazine with a monthly sales of only more than 10,000 and was almost unsustainable, with the highest sales once exceeding the 500,000 mark, but also created a large number of young writers who gained both fame and fortune, and even many years later, the writer evolved into a director and continued to gain fame and fortune.

At the present time in 1995, youth literature is still in its infancy.

It's not that there isn't.

There is no shortage of youth in any era, and of course there will be no shortage of youth literature.

It's just that there is no clear concept.

Su Hang felt that he could try to be the first person to eat crabs.

Think about it.

The first person in youth literature.

Compared with those who used to be, if this dividend can be obtained, it is enough to eat for a lifetime.

It just so happened that although the final exam of the first year of high school was higher, it also added a label and a halo to him as Su Hang initially considered.

Seeing a lot, Su Hang roughly understands the past routine.

Youth literature is not only as simple as writing well, but also needs to be marketed, such as a rebellious girl who wears a belly pocket and signs it, such as creating a writer character of 100 million yuan, such as buying the copyright in more than 30 countries at the book fair, such as getting a sky-high prepayment without writing a word, all kinds of tossing, all kinds of hype.

It's all business.

But it's also really profitable.

A lot of money.

In the room on a summer night when the floor fan was blowing hot wind, under the table lamp, Su Hang pondered for a while and wrote down two key words in the notebook:

"Sixteen years old".

"Xueba".

The former comes from Zhang Ailing's sentence, and it is necessary to become famous as soon as possible.

Su Hang is 16 years old this year, and if he can become famous, he will naturally attract a lot of attention compared to adults after the age of 18.

As for the latter, Xueba, or the kind that can get full marks in the three main subjects, is no longer just teenagers, but can resonate at any age.

The combination of the two, one plus one, is bound to be greater than two.

These are the two labels that Suzhou and Hangzhou can take out for self-marketing at the right time.

Then there's the execution.

The goal is set, Suzhou and Hangzhou are not blindly optimistic, if they succeed, it is the upper limit, if they are not successful, they will make persistent efforts.

The lower limit of Suzhou and Hangzhou's pursuit, as long as you can make some money, is good.

Su Hang doesn't know what the level of manuscript fees is at this stage, but for a family whose father is temporarily unemployed and whose mother only receives a basic salary of 120 yuan per month, even if an article only earns a few dozen yuan, it is a great economic relief for this family.

So I added two more words to the notebook:

"Make money".

After writing these two words, I reminded myself that I should not rush.

Down-to-earth, step by step.

Straightening out his thoughts, Su Hang took out a magazine from a row of books in front of the desk, and flipped the small 32-page homework book that had been used for most of the time in front of him to the front.

The name of the magazine is "Qingxu".

It is not difficult to understand by looking at the name, this is a literary magazine mainly aimed at young readers, and it is a magazine in the Central Plains Province, and the address of the magazine is in the provincial capital of Shangdu.

A few days ago, Suzhou and Hangzhou rode all over Heyuan City.

Newsstands, libraries, Xinhua bookstores, etc., and many roadside bookstalls.

The main thing is to record.

Record the address of the various newspapers and magazines.

The results are good.

On the more than 30 pages of small homework books bought by stationery stores for six dollars, most of them were filled in three days.

As for the "Qingxu" magazine in front of him, when he was making records at a newspaper kiosk, in order to avoid the boss from driving people, he endured the pain and took out his pocket once, 3 yuan, in exchange for the boss's silent patience, Su Hang wrote down all the suitable books, newspapers and magazines in the small pavilion.

After browsing through the various addresses in the book, Su Hang turned to "Qingxu", which had already read both sides.

Chapter Chinese......

Su Hang can only say that no wonder he had no impression of this magazine, and it is likely to go out of business in the wave of marketization.

However, since you have spent 3 bucks on yourself, let's start with it.

This money has to be earned back.

After briefly flipping through the magazine in his hand again, Su Hang put it back in front of him along with the workbook full of submission addresses.

No delays.

Don't wait.

Get started now.

Taking out another brand-new workbook that he had bought at the same time, Su Hang began to put the first novel on paper that he had been sketching in the last few days.

Write down your thoughts first, and then some key inspirations.

Make another outline.

Finally, I started to put pen to paper.

Occasionally looking up at the time, it was just over ten o'clock in the evening, and it was not too late.

Get to the point.

Writing and writing, Suzhou and Hangzhou gradually immersed themselves in it.

All the previous ideas about making money have been discarded for a while, but I enjoy the feeling of writing a story.

Su Hang thinks it's good.

Once you live again, you don't plan to be like you once was, chasing for half your life, and it's all in vain.

This time, what should be chased, of course, is still chased. However, it is not just a chase for the sake of chasing.

It's like writing a novel right now.

Making money is important, but if you can enjoy it and make it a pleasure in life, it is actually more important.

If a person doesn't like something from the bottom of his heart, or even resists and dislikes it, how can he do it well?

Let's talk about the content of the first novel.

Since he has quietly positioned the route of youth literature for himself, of course it must be related to youth.

What are the characteristics of youth literature?

Gallop like a teenager.

Be young and have no regrets.

If Plato says Marquez, Fitzgerald says, Wong Kar-wai says Yishu says.

Be public.

Be confused.

To listen to Nirvana.

Let there be brothers who sleep on the top bunk.

Look up at the sky at 45 degrees and burst into tears.

Be 'rotten' and 'stink'.

Forehead......

The last one is removed.

In short, the teenager doesn't know the taste of sorrow and falls in love with the floor.

Su Hang's original idea was to use Gan Xin as material.

Just a few words of the red-clothed goblin, Su Hang found that someone's experience is simply a typical representative of the 'cruel youth' genre.

However, these days, the idea is conceived, and it gradually becomes its own story.

For Gan Xin......

Because of the pity in my heart, unconsciously, I didn't want to write.

Once, let it be buried in the past.

This time, everything is new.

In this case, the story, of course, must also be new.

Because it was constantly brewing a few days in advance, and the text was officially written, Su Hang's thoughts were very smooth, a small book, three or four hundred words per page, a fast book, and when it was completed, nearly twenty pages had been written unconsciously.

When I looked up again, I found that it was past two o'clock in the morning.

Not sleepy.

So I checked it roughly, roughly counted, planned a short story of about 5,000 words, and actually wrote more than 6,000 words.

Overall satisfied.

The plot of the idea, the highlights of the design, the things you want to express, and some self-conscious good sentences are all displayed.

Finally, the name of the novel.

When I started sketching, I thought that I must be a little more literate.

However, after I finished writing, I realized that the name was not so important.

After a little consideration, Su Hang turned to the home page and filled in the name of his first short novel after being reborn: "Lin Qing and Xu Bai".

'Clear' is the innocence of innocence, and 'white' is the innocence of innocence.

This is a 'little easter egg' that only Su Hang himself knows.

Once, a certain goblin in red liked one of Pu Shu's songs very much.

"The Year of Innocence".

In the film and television city in the south, during the not many days of getting along, Su Hang heard her humming softly in the sofa more than once.

originally wanted to use Gan Xin as material, but then I didn't want to, so I only left such a small foreshadowing.

It's a commemoration.

Under the white light of more than two o'clock in the morning.

When Su Hang wrote these words, there seemed to be a whispering and hoarse female voice that seemed to be far away and seemed to be very close again:

“……”

"People drift in the wind,"

"Heaven is on its own,"

"An innocent face forgotten in the dust."

"How reluctant this life is,"

"This body jumps across the ocean,"

"The light drawing time is long, and the low singing is unknown."

“……”
