Chapter 423 Say 1 Day Is 1 Day

""literature"?"

After hearing this name, I don’t know why Li Chungang always has a sense of familiarity. I always feel that when and where I have a connection or relationship with this magazine. of.

"That's right. Speaking of which, Mr. Li Chungang's works were once on the cover of a certain issue of our "Literature"!"

"Yes, yes, I will almost forget if you don't tell me!"

When the other party mentioned this, Li Chungang finally remembered it completely. At that time, he was writing his first novel "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", because of the song "Three Thousands of Guests Drunk with Flowers, One Sword, Frost and Cold" when he released the single chapter. Four States" appeared on the cover of that issue of "Literature" magazine.

Speaking of that issue of "Literature" magazine, the People's Publishing House sent him a sample, but later...

I borrowed it from each other and circulated it to the students in the class for a long time. When I think about it again, I don’t know who got it, and it may even disappear. I think it's over.

Looking back now, it's a bit of a pity.

"I don't know what kind of cooperation method Editor-in-Chief Xu wants?"

"A thousand words and five thousand!"

The other party didn't write any ink, and made a quotation very straightforwardly: "One thousand words is five thousand yuan. We have calculated that the full text of "The Necklace" is about 5,700 words. We can give you a price based on 6,000 words." We can co-publish your works in the "Literature" magazine at this price, including your works during the preliminaries and finals of the Seven Star Literature Cup, of course, the premise is that your works must pass the review of our editorial department."

Li Chungang frowned: "Too little."

If this price is placed on a traditional literary writer, it may not be low at all, and it may even exceed the industry standard. Not too much.

"Then what do you mean?"

Just kicked the ball over there.

Li Chungang is most afraid of this kind of problem, otherwise he would not have thought of finding a literary agent because he didn't want to bother with such things, and he would not have invested in the studio in the future, let alone develop into a cultural media company step by step. Today is today, but he can continue to play Tai Chi with the other party: "Your "Literature" is a leader in the industry in this regard, and you should be better than a layman like me. I can send you another novel, you Let’s see how the content is before quoting. If I think it’s suitable, we’ll cooperate. If it’s not suitable…”

What if he didn't say something totally inappropriate,

But the meaning he wanted to express couldn't be more obvious.

Want to collaborate? no problem!

The premise is that your price must be suitable. You cannot say that your "Literature" is the most well-known and authoritative literary magazine in China, and you can say that the store is bullying customers. This is impossible and does not exist. Li Chungang is also a well-known platinum author in the online literary world.

In a word, after all: you have to add money!

"Okay, my email is..."

Xu Yanzhi on the other end of the phone felt that what Li Chungang said was also very reasonable. Although the content of the short story "Necklace" is indeed very good, it can even be said to be a rare excellent short story in recent years, but only one sentence does not explain much. , Maybe it’s just a flash in the pan, not to mention that “The Necklace” has already appeared on the Seven Star Literature Cup, and a large number of readers who love short stories have also read it, so the value of the publication will be greatly reduced, but all of this If it is not a flash in the pan, but the best manifestation of Li Chungang's cultural foundation, then it is worth their publishing house to pay a higher price to win him over.

"New short stories will be sent to you tomorrow."

"Ah? Didn't you already write it? Do you mean to plan to write it in one day?"

"Isn't it okay to write in a day?"

"No...you can, but...isn't one day too short?" The other party was a little dumbfounded.

This young man doesn't talk about martial arts. How can someone study a short story in only one day, let alone that there is not so much time in a day, and you have to deduct food, sleep, and other miscellaneous things to meet physiological needs.

Li Chungang said: "Let's talk then, goodbye."

Li Chungang did say that he hung up the phone as soon as he hung up, and he was not procrastinating at all. On the contrary, Xu Yanzhi, who wanted to ask some details about short stories, became confused in the wind alone, and at the same time, his mind was full of how the other party completed a story in one day. The Doubts of an excellent short story.

From the perspective of normal people's thinking-

There are only two possibilities: either the other party is just writing nonsense to cover himself; or the other party has already prepared several short stories for the Seven Star Literature Cup, and the reason why he proposed a day is nothing more than deliberately hanging himself , but it's wrong to think about it again... because no matter how you think about it, there is no need for the other party to do this.

It can only be said that these old guys can't understand the thoughts of young people now!

According to Xu Yanzhi's own understanding, Li Chungang's day is probably really a day. If you subtract today and add tomorrow, you will be able to read the so-called short stories at the earliest day after tomorrow. This is the only way that can be explained clearly and is more understandable.

the second day.

When Xu Yanzhi, the editor-in-chief, sat down at his desk again, he found that he had received a manuscript in his mailbox, which was a short story by Li Chungang called "Maggie's Gift".

what's the situation! ?

He was full of question marks.

Isn't it the time of the day? Isn't the day in my cognition the same "day" as the day Li Chungang said? In my understanding, the other party will not be able to send the short story until the day after tomorrow at the earliest, and I have even been mentally prepared that this time may be longer, but the other party’s understanding of the day is probably that the time spans from the 12th to the 13th, so Simple!

When he opened this short story called "Maggie's Gift", Xu Yanzhi was not in a hurry to browse the content. The first step was to look at the word count, and found that it was only 3,000 words. The second is relieved, and this can explain why it can be completed in such a short time.

As the editor-in-chief who has been on the front line of reading and reviewing manuscripts for a long time, the speed of reading a novel is still very fast, let alone more than 3,000 words, so Xu Yanzhi finished it quickly.

Not only did he read it by himself, but he also invited Lao Xiong and Tie Zi, who were also in charge of reviewing manuscripts for the "Literature" magazine, to sit together with three heads in front of a computer screen at the same time...
