It's too rolly, it's too rolly, and now these newspapers and magazines really don't even want the rules for the sake of sales.

Let's just say that a few years ago, when Meng Weiya was an editor of People's Literature, no matter how big a writer was, the remuneration was as much as the regulations, and the remuneration for the number of prints was not even considered.

It's good now, the rules are all broken.

Magazines may still have the right to speak in front of ordinary writers, but those top writers have become the bread and butter that are being scrambled.

You can't dislike others for offering high prices, because there are far more magazines that can offer this price than he imagined.

Meng Weizai said quietly: "Perhaps, it is time to loosen the remuneration of writers." ”

Don't look at the fact that the Contemporary Literary Magazine has not been established for a long time, but it is backed by people's literature and has abundant funds, as long as it is within the prescribed range, there is no problem with contemporary literary magazines.

It's just that the loosening of remuneration involves a lot, and it is not something that can be decided by contemporary literature, and it is up to the president and higher-level leaders to respond to the higher-ups.

After Jiang Yulou sent Meng Weiya away, he lamented: "Teacher Yuan, your sudden attack has caused me a lot of losses!" ”

Teacher Yuan was puzzled: "How can it be less, isn't it much more than the remuneration of ordinary writers?" ”

"The remuneration for printing is related to the printing volume of the publishing house, "Contemporary" is a newly established literary magazine, although the sales data of the first and second issues are growing greatly, but the base is too low, from the first issue of sales of 10,000 copies, to the second issue of sales of 20,000 copies, even if it doubles, I can't make any money." Jiang Yulou explained.

Compared with Harvest magazine, Contemporary's lack of background is an important factor restricting its development at this stage.

Teacher Yuan frowned slightly, obviously he didn't know the key point.

Jiang Yulou said: "The first issue of "Harvest" can sell 70,000 or 80,000 copies, and this issue can even sell 100,000 copies by publishing my "Yellow Earth". If you think about it, I also made a lot less money because of the same print run. ”

"This time it's the teacher's mistake." Teacher Yuan smiled bitterly, and then said: "But letting you vote for "Contemporary" is not harming you, but there is a good thing." ”

Jiang Yulou raised his eyebrows, "What?" ”

"This year, People's Literature will hold the second National Excellent Short Story Selection, and your "Yellow Earth" will definitely win the award." Teacher Yuan smiled mysteriously.

"National Selection of Outstanding Short Stories?" Jiang Yulou knows that this award has been held for one session, and it is a very influential fiction award in China.

"Why didn't anyone notify me?"

It stands to reason that the selection of such awards needs to be submitted by the publisher, but there is not the slightest news from the harvest magazine.

Moreover, seriously speaking, "Yellow Earth" should be considered a novella.

Teacher Yuan glanced at him meaningfully, "Special affairs, how can I say that "Contemporary" is also under the banner of people's literature, and they will not let others suffer." ”

Jiang Yulou looked at Teacher Yuan in surprise, what else can you do like this?

"Don't think about it, your work must be good enough to block the mouths of Youyou, otherwise, even if you are the editor of a contemporary magazine, it will be useless." Teacher Yuan said.

Jiang Yulou suddenly realized: "So that's the case. ”

"Now I'm balanced." Teacher Yuan quipped.

Jiang Yulou's chick nodded like a peck of rice.

"Teacher Yuan, when will this award come down?"

If he didn't know, it would be fine, but now that he knows, he can't wait to get the award.

Teacher Yuan said: "There should not be many days left before the awards are announced in October. ”

"It's almost there." Jiang Yulou's eyes were full of anticipation for the award day.

When he returned to his dormitory in the evening, he was even more motivated to write.

This is the first award in his life, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is full of expectations.

Jiang Yulou was at the desk, and it didn't take long for the door to open the door, and it was Xu Xiangdong who came back.

After Xu Xiangdong glanced at it, he encouraged him as usual: "Yulou is still writing a script, come on, I'm optimistic about you." ”

"Hey, how do you know I've won the National Award for Outstanding Short Story." Jiang Yulou asked with a happy face.

"What do I know...... Xu Xiangdong suddenly reacted, his eyes widened: "Yulou, what award did you win?" ”

Jiang Yulou repeated with a smile: "National Outstanding Short Story Award." ”

"What kind of award is this?" Xu Xiangdong asked curiously.

After Jiang Yulou patiently explained, Xu Xiangdong understood, and his envious expression was still overflowing.

Tsk, at the same age, the gap between people is too big!

When the remaining two people in the dormitory returned, they also knew the good news.

Wei Guoping was half bitter, half complimentary: "In the future, we won't also call Teacher Jiang of Yulou, right?" ”

"Hey, we're all brothers living in a dormitory, don't come to those empty ones." Jiang Yulou waved his hand and said modestly.

However, as soon as he changed his voice, he continued: "Of course, if you insist on calling me Teacher Jiang, I can't object, right?" ”

Wei Guoping and the three of them looked stunned, and when Jiang Yulou was proud, Yu Min said quietly: "When Yulou encounters this kind of happy event, don't you invite a few brothers to rub it?" ”

"Yes, yes, you have to have a treat!"

"Lao Mo, Xinqiao or Donglaishun, any one is fine, we don't pick."

Wei Guoping and Xu Xiangdong reacted quickly, and then shouted.

"Hey, I won the award, shouldn't my brother ask me to rub it?" Jiang Yulou was dumbfounded.

The three of them shook their heads in unison, and finally found a reason for Jiang Yulou to invite guests to dinner, how could they give up.

Jiang Yulou slapped his mouth and sighed: "Yes, please please." You choose the place, and I'll pay for it. ”

He warned, "By the way, this hasn't been announced yet, so don't spread it." ”

A few people gave him a look we understood.

They are all adults, and they naturally know when to keep their mouths shut.

Especially this kind of news that hasn't been announced yet, they don't think there's an inside story or something. After all, what Jiang Yulou's background is, they all know that it can only be Jiang Yulou's work that conquers the judges.

In this way, they have no jealousy towards Jiang Yulou, only blessings.

The next night, Jiang Yulou said that he invited a few people in the dormitory to Donglaishun to eat hot pot. Originally, the teachers were invited, but they all refused.

Wei Guoping and the others arrived in Donglaishun, but they didn't see Jiang Yulou.

Xu Xiangdong joked: "Tsk, the gold lord hasn't arrived, you say that Yulou won't play us, right?" ”

Yu Min didn't know if he didn't understand, and said seriously: "The people of Yulou are so good, how can they deceive people?" ”

"Cut, can't you hear me kidding?" Xu Xiangdong pursed his lips.

Although the relationship has improved a lot, he still occasionally looks at Yu Min, a turtle, unpleasantly.

Wei Guoping was about to persuade a few words, but suddenly saw the figure at the door, and the whole person was stunned.
