63. The manuscript appointment is over
"Well, senior, the opinion of the literary newspaper is that the manuscript is requested once a week, and there is no specific regulation on the length of the article. After all, writers write prose to express their true emotions, so basically they will not specifically control the remuneration.
, it’s a thousand words and a thousand dollars. After all, senior, you are also a person with historical achievements, and your priority level in our literary journal is also very high. Many seniors have particularly appreciated some of your essays."
Sun Yongchang's tone of voice was full of praise. His senior had such achievements, which also made him and Rong Youyan who belong to the same school.
"Well, the conditions are very good."
Gu Cheng touched his chin and replied that he really didn't care much about the remuneration. The main thing is that the weekly magazine has its own place. This is the most important thing.
It is very happy for a writer to have a stable publicity channel. Generally, people choose provincial newspapers or local newspapers. Only Gu Cheng skipped these steps and reached the position of national newspapers.
.
How many writers feel extremely excited to be able to publish an article. This is an honor for the best writers in China. However, Gu Cheng started with four articles in a month. In comparison, he felt a sense of superiority instantly.
One thousand words and one thousand yuan. Although this remuneration is already very high, it is still incomparable with the profits brought by normal publishing. The normal number of words for an essay is only three or four thousand words. In total, it is three or four thousand words.
The remuneration for publishing five articles a month does not exceed 20,000 yuan. For ordinary writers, it is indeed very good. According to current consumption standards, it is absolutely upper-class.
But compared to Gu Cheng, who has a net worth of tens of millions, it can only be said to be a small amount of money.
Literary newspapers naturally paid royalties for reprinting essays written by Gu Cheng's copybooks before, but because the amount was too small, they were not conspicuous in Gu Cheng's royalties, and they didn't pay much attention to them.
And for many writers, the remuneration given by literary newspapers is a way to evaluate their status in the industry. A salary of one thousand words and one thousand dollars is already considered the top level.
"Are there any requirements for the type?"
Gu Cheng continued to speak. Although he had all kinds of genres in his mind, it was better to ask, so that when he submitted his manuscript, he would not be rejected because it did not meet the category.
"There are no requirements for this. Anything that mainly conforms to current reading habits is acceptable."
Sun Yongchang flipped through the notebook in front of him and wrote down the notes he made at the meeting. He clearly marked the editor-in-chief's requirements and treatment for Gu Cheng at the meeting.
"Okay, I happen to have a few essays in my archive. How about I send them to you first? Are they suitable for the positioning of our newspaper?"
Gu Cheng really has some manuscripts saved. As a qualified literature lover, he always feels touched by the scene. Every time he encounters this kind of situation, some past life articles that fit the situation will appear in his mind.
In order to avoid forgetting the memory in the future, Gu Cheng would record it on the computer every time, waiting for the time when it would be useful.
Now is undoubtedly the time to send it directly via email and let the other party review it to see if it meets their aesthetics and appreciation.
"Really? If so, that's great, senior brother, you should know my email address, right? We will review it as soon as possible and give you a reply,"
To be honest, Sun Yongchang is under a lot of pressure. He is a graduate who has just worked for a few years and does not have strong connections in the publishing house. If he wants to develop his career in the future, he will definitely need
Some assistance comes from your own performance.
And now the case of Gu Cheng is a great entry point. Opinions on Gu Cheng in newspapers are also divided into two extremes. Some people think that Gu Cheng should be publicized in a big way to add some fierce reaction to the stagnant literary world and establish a young man.
Writer's role model.
However, there are also some people who maintain a backward concept. They believe that Gu Cheng has just debuted for less than a year and his qualifications are too shallow. He needs more time to settle down and give these opportunities to older writers who have been around for longer.
Sun Yongchang naturally sneered at these claims. He always believed that literature is just like that. If you have a level, you have a level. You cannot close the distance by relying on qualifications.
Therefore, the editor-in-chief made an invitation to write articles and gave him a long-term position in a weekly magazine. He also made a lot of determination. If Gu Cheng can provide some excellent articles at this time, it will be very helpful for the editor-in-chief to counterattack those who have different opinions.
opponent's.
The liaison person in the middle, Sun Yongchang, naturally rose in status and became a figure that the newspaper increasingly needed to rely on.
Of course Gu Cheng didn't know the entanglement in these matters. He just felt that the other party valued him and needed some feedback, so he proposed this.
The two of them hung up the phone. Gu Cheng took out the computer archive, which contained some of his manuscripts. After careful consideration, he selected a few articles.
They are "Dream and Reality" by Guo Moruo in his previous life, and Mr. Xu Dishan's trilogy of writings "Mountain Sound", "Cicada" and "Sea". These four articles can basically support the first month of manuscripts, so I selected them.
Afterwards, four emails were sent directly to Sun Yongchang's mailbox.
The next step is the other party's business. Gu Cheng is still very confident in these articles. After all, both Xu Dishan and Guo Moruo were top-notch writers in their previous lives, especially Xu Dishan. There are many collections of essays in his works, especially
It is the most outstanding collection of essays on "Lingyu in the Sky Mountain". The vocabulary is full of simplicity, elegance, philosophy and religion, and has very unique artistic attainments.
Moreover, this kind of writing style and descriptive features are not found in this parallel world, and I believe it will give a big shock to the literary world of this world.
With a satisfied look on his face, Gu Cheng walked out of the room with the cup in hand and walked towards his daughter.
Life is getting better and better, not only is his career going smoothly, but his daughter is also the source of all his motivation.
Looking at his daughter's succulent calves that she was kicking in her sleep, Gu Cheng left the stroller with satisfaction, put the water glass on the table, packed his things, and prepared to go downstairs to do some exercise.
In the first rebirth, he pays special attention to personal health issues. God gives you a chance to be reborn, but it will not be so easy the second time. No one knows whether this luck will come to him again. He died suddenly in his previous life.
