Chapter 110: Into the Money Eye
"Legend" has its own co-authors, most of whom are regular authors, and very few new authors can succeed in submitting their contributions.
But in the last issue, there was an appointment with the author who didn't write it out for some reason, and opened the skylight.
The editors had no choice but to find a filler from the submission that was okay and the number of words was appropriate.
That's how "The Legend of the Gods" came out.
At that time, the situation was urgent, and a few people probably felt that there was no problem and sent it to typesetting, without careful consideration at all.
The little editor with glasses pushed his glasses and said seriously: ""The Legend of the Gods" is very well written. ”
"I looked at it twice more closely."
"This author is sophisticated in writing and has a unique style of writing, which is different from the current fashion, and will especially arouse the reader's sense of expectation."
"It's the first time I've seen this kind of writing."
"I guess the author's living conditions should have been good before, maybe he is in trouble now, so write some articles to make some money."
"Besides, the response from readers is good, and our magazine sales have not moved much in the past two years, and now there are a lot more."
"My suggestion is that as long as the author can guarantee the quality and speed of his writing, we can raise the price for him."
"New popular stories are always fresher and more interesting than the old ones that have been written badly."
"The Legend of the Gods" is a long story with Erlang God Yang Jian as the protagonist.
Their magazine had also collected a lot of Yang Jian's stories before.
Either with him as a supporting character, or with him as the protagonist of a short story.
A few thousand words, one or two thousand words, and that's it.
Everyone has become accustomed to the fact that the stories of these mythical characters are all a hammer in the east and a hammer in the west, and the preface does not match the afterword.
Sometimes there are two versions of the same story for the same character, and it will also cause the old man author in the two places to quarrel.
It is the first time that all of Yang Jian's folklore has been reintegrated like this, coupled with innovation, to create a complete long story with a beginning and an end.
Eye Editor has only been in the industry for two years, and his ability to accept new things is very strong, and he is very optimistic about this new story.
The editor-in-chief suddenly became interested: "Really fake? You're so optimistic about this novel?"
The little editor pushed down his glasses again and said seriously: "Editor-in-chief, you know, it's about literary creation, and I never lie." ”
Other editors also said, "Really, this story is really good. ”
"I didn't look carefully when I was drafting, but I looked back when I wasn't busy, and the writing was really good."
"The mix of legend and innovation is very good, and the author is very provocative to the reader's emotions, anyway, I'm looking forward to how the story will be written later."
"Not only are you looking forward to it, but I'm also looking forward to it, you see that many of the letters we have received from readers recently are specifically asking about this story, which shows that this story is quite deeply rooted in the hearts of the people."
An old editor in his fifties also pushed down his reading glasses, and the old god said: "This author is amazing, and he is very good at seizing the opportunity." ”
"Have you forgotten the situation when "Fengshen List" first aired?"
"Fengshen Bang" broke people's inherent perception of TV dramas.
Each of the characters in it is boldly exposed, and some of the plots are even more ambiguous.
Especially the role of Su Daji, who is beautiful and cunning and vicious, even if "Fengshen Bang" has been played several times, it is still talked about by people.
The role of Erlang God is also a rare Fenglang Shenjun.
This author would choose Erlang God as the protagonist, and the old editor is really not surprising at all.
The male protagonist, of course, has to find a good-looking character.
The editor-in-chief thought thoughtfully: "It seems that I have to read this "Legend of the Gods" again when I go back." ”
"Xiao Feng, this teacher named Jiang Hai will be followed up by you in the future, you remember to contact others more, since his story is well written, you must insist on writing it, and you can't open the skylight again."
"Oh yes, you remember to tell Mr. Jiang that from the second issue, his manuscript fee is 30 words per 1,000."
Editor Xiao Feng couldn't help but ask: "Isn't 30 words a little less?" ”
Actually, it's quite a lot.
Submissions by new authors are generally 15 to 30 words per 1,000 words.
The editor-in-chief is willing to give 30 words per 1,000 words, which is already the top remuneration among new authors.
The editor-in-chief shook his head: "Xiao Feng, you, you're still too young." ”
"No matter how well "The Legend of the Gods" is written, we are new to him."
"Who knows if he will be able to guarantee such quality in the future?"
"It's not that we're reluctant to pay for it."
"If Mr. Jiang can finish the story with quality and quantity, I will give him 1,200 words and 1,300 words."
"Okay, you go and contact Mr. Jiang to see when Mr. Jiang's new draft will arrive."
The most fearful thing about being an editor is to see that a story is well written, but the author doesn't write half of it, which can make people so angry that they vomit blood.
Jiang Jiani didn't know that her manuscript fee had doubled.
Now that she's living in a new house, she's so happy that she's forgotten to code.
I've been thinking about adding this and adding that.
On the day of waiting for the greenhouse, the Lu family and the Jiang family were surprised to find that Jiang Jiani and Lu Xiangyang had just lived in the new house for seven or eight days, and it had changed.
Jiang Haibing was speechless: "This good wall is all holes in the hole you have hit." ”
Jiang Jiani not only painted a few simple decorative paintings and hung them on the wall, but also knitted a tapestry with woolen yarn.
There is a wall that is specially set aside for a photo wall, and now there are only a few large and small wedding photos pasted on it, as well as a single photo taken by the two people a long time ago.
More photos will have to wait for Lu Xiangyang to get better completely.
Other cans and bottles wrapped in hemp rope or something, with dry branches casually folded outside, are also interesting.
Just a casual decoration, the house that was too simple and only felt too cold and unpopular suddenly became warm.
Jiang Jiani ignored his sour words, and asked Xizizi: "You just say it's good-looking." ”
Lu's mother was very satisfied: "Good-looking, very good-looking." ”
"I think it's better than the paintings sold on the street outside."
Yang Yuemei muttered in a low voice, what is the use of these, they can't be used as food or drink.
pondered and urged Jiang Jiani to give birth to a child quickly.
In the future, when the child goes to school, isn't it better to hang the child's award certificate on the wall than to hang these messy things?
Jiang Haibing dragged Jiang Jiani aside and whispered, "When my house is finished in the future, you can get me a few pictures according to you." ”
Afraid that Jiang Jiani would be lazy and refused, he hurriedly said, "I'll give money." ”
Jiang Jiani suddenly smiled like a flower: "Hey, what about our brothers and sisters, what kind of money." A pair of fifty, no counteroffer. ”
Jiang Haibing's heart was dripping blood: "You robbed money?" Ten pieces at most, if it's more, I'll go outside and find someone to draw a few for me. ”
Jiang Jiani sneered: "Can you match your house with the one you found outside?" A pair of thirty, if you grind again, I don't care, you just go outside to find someone. ”
Jiang Haibing grinded his teeth with hatred: "Thirty is thirty, dead girl, death requires money, you can be killed." ”
He turned his head to Lu Xiangyang's side and asked, "I said brother-in-law, don't you give my sister money?" She's got all in the eyes of money. ”
