At the end of the conversation between the two, Lin Chaoyang asked: "Sister Xiaolin, in terms of remuneration standards, "Harvest"..."
At this time, people are ashamed to talk about profit. Lin Chaoyang's question surprised Li Xiaolin, but she still said: "This is all based on national standards. There is no fixed standard. It all depends on the quality of the manuscript."
Having said this, she looked at Lin Chaoyang. Since she asked, it meant that she valued him.
"As long as your manuscript is accepted, it can be executed according to the standard of seven yuan per thousand words."
Li Xiaolin dared to say this, partly because she had managed to get Lin Chaoyang's manuscript, and partly because of the confidence given by "Qiu Ju's Lawsuit".
Although "Qiu Ju's Lawsuit" is only a short story, its skill cannot be underestimated. Qiu Ju's entry and exit in the public sector is not so easy to write, and it will turn into a running account if you are not careful.
However, Lin Chaoyang's treatment is like climbing high and looking into the distance, taking each scene step by step while achieving a gradual progression of emotions.
Moreover, Li Xiaolin just listened to Lin Chaoyang's story from the beginning. The story itself is very brilliant, and every character is so vivid and unique.
With such interesting stories and characters, coupled with Lin Chaoyang's mature creative techniques, Li Xiaolin is full of confidence in his work that has not yet been written.
Listening to Li Xiaolin's words, Lin Chaoyang smiled broadly, "I will finish the manuscript as soon as possible and will mail it to you as soon as possible."
After receiving Lin Chaoyang's promise, Li Xiaolin left Yanda with joy.
The arrival of Li Xiaolin made Lin Chaoyang very busy. He had not yet finished the novel he had promised to Du Feng, but he also agreed to the manuscript for "Harvest".
He had to divide his time. When he got home in the evening, he would write the novel he had promised to Du Feng, and during the day he would write the manuscript of "The Harvest" he had promised at work.
He said he didn't want to curl up, but his body was more honest than anyone else.
Hypocritical workers!
Time has come to May Day in a blink of an eye. May Day without Golden Week is soulless, but you still have to live it, and a day off is also a day off!
On this day, Lin Chaoyang took Tao Yushu to watch the Royal Ballet's performance in China. The performance was the classic play "Swan Lake". Liang Zuo helped get the tickets and spent three yuan.
It only costs 10 cents to watch a movie, and a performance costs 1.5 yuan per person, which is considered a high level of consumption in this era.
The couple dared to spend like this mainly because they had just received the manuscript fee bill from "Yanjing Literature and Art" before May Day.
And not one portion, but two portions.
In addition to Lin Chaoyang's novella, there is also Tao Yu's review article on "The Herdsman".
The full text of the novella is 58,000 words, and the manuscript fee of 7 yuan for 1,000 words is 406 yuan. Tao Yushu's review article also received 18 yuan.
The couple's total royalties are 424 yuan, which is almost equal to Lin Chaoyang's salary for a year.
If they save money, the two of them may not be able to save so much in two years.
With so much extra income all of a sudden, Tao Yushu almost jumped up with joy.
Lin Chaoyang suggested going to Lao Mo for dinner, but Tao Yushu hesitated for a long time and was reluctant.
Instead, he offered Liang Zuo two ballet performance tickets, and she readily agreed.
Compared with material enjoyment, spiritual enjoyment makes Tao Yushu more happy.
Lin Chaoyang originally wanted Tao Yushu to buy something for home, but she had different opinions.
"You can't just buy them things as soon as you get the royalties. It will form a habit in the future and you won't be able to stop buying them."
Lin Chaoyang was speechless for a moment. He felt that his wife was really a genius in management and a good candidate for becoming a capitalist.
After watching the performance, Tao Yushu complained again: "It's not as good as the National Ballet of China's "The Red Detachment of Women.""
Lin Chaoyang has never seen "The Red Detachment of Women" by the National Ballet of China, but he found that his wife actually has her own unique aesthetic in art appreciation, and it is difficult to corrode it.
And she seems to be naturally not interested in capitalist things, which is also reflected in her learning English.
With Tao Yushu's intelligence and enthusiasm for learning, she ranks first in almost every subject in the class, and second, but English is the only subject that she has difficulty learning. She memorizes and forgets words, which often hinders her.
It wastes the most time.
"Then I'll invite you to watch "The Red Detachment of Women" next time."
Tao Yushu laughed and said, "We should watch "Swan Lake" while the British should watch "The Red Detachment of Women."
Lin Chaoyang couldn't help but laugh at her narrow-minded thoughts.
"That's a good suggestion!"
Around May 4th this year, the Yanda campus was particularly lively. The 60th anniversary meeting of the May 4th Movement was held in the Capital Gymnasium. Not only were important leaders present, but there were also performances by the Central Orchestra and the Central Song and Dance Ensemble. Yanda students
We were all very excited, and the school was buzzing about it for a week.
On the last day of early May, it was the day when "Yanjing Literature and Art" was published.
Tao Yushu didn't go to eat after her lunch class. Instead, she ran outside to the bookstore to buy magazines.
"Comrade, has this issue of "Yenjing Literature and Art" arrived?"
"I just arrived this morning. Would you like a copy?"
"Two copies."
"Yanjing Literature and Art" was priced at 25 cents. Tao Yushu paid 50 cents and happily left the bookstore after getting two magazines. She flipped through the freshly released magazines as she walked.
The first thing she saw was the novella by Lin Chaoyang. The novel was close to 60,000 words and took up more than half of this issue of "Yanjing Literature and Art". Her eyes were scribbling across the page, and her heart was filled with joy.
Then she turned to her own article "The Noble Soul - An Analysis of the Image of Xu Lingjun, the Protagonist of "The Wrangler"". This was the second review she had published. The first one was about "Scars", and it was also published in
"Literary News".
But looking at the typeface in the magazine, she felt much happier than when she published her first review a few months ago.
For the first time, the couple's words were published in type in the same magazine. Tao Yushu couldn't help but feel a sense of happiness in his heart.
When I rode my bicycle back to the Normal University campus, the cafeteria was already overcrowded.
The dining habits in the cafeteria of Yan'an Normal University are different from that of Yan'an University. They are similar to the way of eating in a big pot. Students in each class are divided into several tables, and the food at each table is arranged in advance. Everyone can stand around the table and chat while eating.
Wu Yingfang saw Tao Yushu and asked, "Where have you been? Why did you come back? The food is almost gone."
"Go out and buy a magazine."
"Let's buy some after we finish our meal."
By the time Tao Yushu came back from lunch, her classmates had almost left, but Wu Yingfang was still waiting for her.
"Eat quickly! If I hadn't asked them to leave some for you, you wouldn't even be able to eat the dregs."
"Thank you."
While Tao Yushu was eating, Wu Yingfang flipped through her canvas bag politely and asked, "Show me what magazine you bought?"
The two of them had the best relationship in the class, and they didn't talk to each other at all, and Tao Yushu didn't mind either.
"Yenjing Literature and Art?"
Wu Yingfang discovered the magazine. She was bored while waiting for Tao Yushu to eat, so she opened it casually.
"Ah! Xu Lingjun has released a new work!" She shouted excitedly.
Listening to her shouts, the corners of Tao Yushu's mouth raised slightly, and there was a bit of pride hidden in his eyes.
"Ouch! No wonder I'm in such a hurry to buy magazines."
Wu Yingfang pointed to the name on the catalog, "Has your comment been published again?"
Tao Yushu chewed something in his mouth and nodded.
"This girl is really amazing!" Wu Yingfang sighed.
Although Yan Normal University is not as well-known as Shuimu and Yan University, the strength of the Chinese Department is also top-notch in the country.
Tao Yushu and his classmates are the first batch of college students after Bing Bing Bing. Many of them were working before enrolling, and several of them are engaged in writing-related work.
But when it comes to publishing works in journals, not everyone can do it.
After enrolling for more than a year, about one-third of their class had published articles in newspapers and periodicals, and even fewer of them had their works published in heavyweight newspapers and periodicals.
Tao Yushu previously published a comment in "Literary News", which caused a discussion in the class.
That's the "Literary News". As a student, how much of an honor is it to be able to comment on it?
Now, Tao Yushu actually posted a comment in "Yanjing Literature and Art" again. Wu Yingfang looked at the title in the catalog and felt not only admiration, but also admiration.
"Yushu, you are going to become a critic!"
"Stop talking nonsense, it's just a comment."
After finishing their meal, there were still classes in the afternoon. Tao Yushu and Wu Yingfang went to the dormitory to rest together.
"Why did you buy two magazines?" Wu Yingfang asked, and then without waiting for Tao Yushu's reply, she said to herself: "Oh, I understand. One is for reading, and the other is for collecting."
She had already figured it out, and Tao Yushu didn't bother to correct it.
"The writing is good. When my novel is published in the future, you can also write an article for me." Wu Yingfang made a request to Tao Yushu after reading her article.
"Okay. As long as you can publish your novel in any of the magazines "Yanjing Literature and Art", "October", "Contemporary" and "Harvest", I will write a review specifically for you."
"Huh, you're just trying to make things difficult for others."
Tao Yushu laughed and said, "You don't want to post a piece of tofu in a local tabloid for me to comment on, do you?"
"Damn girl, you have such a vicious mouth! I will tear your mouth to pieces!"
After the joke, Wu Yingfang no longer paid attention to Tao Yushu's comments, but instead focused on Xu Lingjun's new novel.
Chapter completed!
