Chapter 5 It is our duty to revive the glory of the magazine(1/2)
"Impossible, why is it gone!"
Li Xiuren snapped the manuscript and was a little excited, saying, "These 60,000 words only talked about Murong Yan's emotional experience.
There are also Ouyang Feng, Huang Yaoshi, and blind swordsmen. Their emotional experiences can be written as a complete branch line.
Depending on the existing role, you can write at least 120,000 words."
"Dad, I mean, I only wrote 60,000 words for the time being. The whole story line has already had a complete draft in my mind."
Cosine interrupted Li's father with a smile. As a former professional gunman, how could he not know how to write a book as long as possible?
"That's good, that's good."
Li's father nodded with relief, not knowing whether he was happy about Cosine's understanding of behavior or was happy about seeing the stories of the other characters.
Cosine asked: "Dad, can my work be published in "Qingyuan"?"
"Your manuscript has typos, and the words and sentences are a bit immature. The story background is a superficial history, which is not very consistent with "Qingyuan"."
Li's father wanted to promote and suppress it first, and praised it, "But there is no problem with your writing style, and he also grasped the emotions that readers of "Qingyuan" value the most.
After spending some time to revise, you can completely publish it as the main work of "Qingyuan".
Cosine smiled and knew that this time it was adapted into.
In his previous life, Wong Kar-wai's film "East Evil and Western Poisons" was cast by Leslie Cheung, Leslie Cheung, Jacky Cheung, Tony Leung, Brigitte Lam, Maggie Cheung, Carina Lau, and Caini Yeung.
The characters in the plot are all the top characters in Jin Yong's novels, but in the end, they made a complete Gulong-style art film with a box office of only 9 million.
He brought the investor popularity to the point where he was admitted to the hospital and told him to buy out Wong Kar-wai's hands and feet.
If it weren't for the friend Liu Zhenwei who came forward and used the original team to work in a month to produce a big comedy "The East is the West", Wong Kar-wai would definitely be ruined.
By the standards of commercial films, "East Evil and West Poison" is a very bad movie, with long-winded narratives, chaotic timelines, and too many dialogues. As an adapted film, the character is created until Jin Yong doesn't recognize it...
It deserves to be a failure, because this is a typical literary and artistic film with the style of Gu Long and Wong Kar-wai, or a literary and artistic film with almost zero commercial elements.
But it was such a floppy movie that was adapted into a novel and could hit the high point of the readership of "Qingyuan".
There is no literary youth who can reject Wong Kar-wai.
In order to restore the color sense in the movie and the style of Wong Kar-wai as much as possible, Cosine kept the framework of fragmented narrative in this novel, referring to "The Biography of Wukong" for specific reference.
In terms of writing style, we refer more to the styles of Koreyama, Kawabata Yasunari and Dazai Osamu, and write more dialogues and more scenery, and pay more attention to artistic conception.
The most important thing is that almost all the lines from the movie "East Evil and West Poison" were retained, making this novel as "Wang Kar-wai" as possible.
Compared with novels, the finished product compiled by Cosine is closer to the script, and can be sold again if you change it casually.
Such a work will be killed by the Internet. It is too much nonsense, it is mysterious, pretentious, and has no pleasure.
It fits very well in magazines like "Qingyuan". The so-called literary movies and literary novels mean that the people you don't like can't stand watching, and the people you love until they die.
"Little Xian.
Are you really planning to take the Qingliu path in the future?”
Father Li asked with concern.
Cosine nodded and admitted, "I have this plan."
I think I still have some talent at least in the profession of [Novelist].”
The great Han Dynasty paid more attention to literary and artistic creation, novelists, lyricists, composers, screenwriters and other professions. They are called Qingliu and have a relatively high social status and income. They are the creators of content.
Corresponding to this is an actor and a singer, who is called a turbid stream. His social status and income cannot be compared with a simplified stream. He is a content processor.
The biggest difference between the two is that Qingliu has the right to speak with the content, and is relatively less likely to be involved in some matters. Even if he is involved, he rarely acts as a weak person.
"This work is excellent enough for your debut, but you should not be proud and complacent because of this, and continue to learn to enrich yourself."
Li's father stood up, patted Cosine's back, and his face was covered with the kind smile of the old father.
"I see."
"Just understand."
Li's father raised his arm and looked at the watch time, and said in surprise: "It's broken, I've watched it for more than two hours without realizing it.
Let's go to the magazine to sign the contract."
The eldest sister Li Wanzi sat in the living room, playing with her cell phone bored. Seeing that the father and son came out at the same time, she quickly put away the cell phone and walked up to ask.
"Uncle, how about Xiaoxian's work?"
Li's father kept a secret and said vaguely: "It's okay. Whether it can be published in the end depends on what others say."
The eldest sister's heart skipped a beat. It was bad. My younger brother's work should not be excellent, at least not 100% sufficiently published in "Qingyuan".
After internship in a magazine for a long time, Li Wanzi has seen this situation several times.
"Qingyuan" magazine is a good place for young writers to gain reputation, and young authors often contribute to "Qingyuan".
These works are not bad, but they are not absolutely excellent. At least they cannot make a significant difference with other submissions. It is reasonable to choose any work.
There are always some people with connections who can find editors who work in magazines, hoping that they can take care of their juniors' works.
If the editor wants to take care of it, he will circulate the work to prove that the work is indeed good and is well published in "Qingyuan".
This is not a shady situation, because there is indeed no obvious gap in several submission articles, and you can choose anyone. It depends more on the editor's personal preferences. It is normal to sell personal favors.
It's just a bit disgraceful.
Li's father drove his beloved old BMW, and Cosine and his elder sister were sitting obediently in the back row.
Cosine sat on the far left, deliberately leaving a little distance between her elder sister.
Li Wanzi moved her butt and pressed it over, holding Cosine's hand on her thighs wrapped in an OL skirt.
Afraid that Cosine couldn't think so, Kai explained: "Xiao Xian, I know you are a very proud person, don't think too much.
If your uncle is willing to circulate your works in a magazine, it proves that your level must have met the requirements of "Qingyuan".
It’s just that there is still some gap between those authors who have become famous for a long time, but in your age group, you are already an unquestionable leader.
"Qingyuan" is a magazine with a sales volume of 130,000 at its peak. Young writers who can publish articles on it are very capable.
You must be one of those young talents.”
Cosine wanted to pull her hands out, but after exerting a little force, she found that the eldest sister was holding her tightly.
Just as I was about to explain, I smelled the fragrance emitted from my elder sister. The orange blossom smell was mixed with musk, and it also had a powdery feeling of prickly heat powder and a little bit of aldehyde.
This is the taste when the Chanel No. 5 is adjusted to the back notes. Mother Fu has used Chanel No. 5 several times.
My elder sister used to prefer to use Chanel's Green Encounter or Miss COCO. The first two are more suitable for young women aged 20 or 25 years old, and the fifth is suitable for mature women aged 30 years old.
However, the use of perfume is not static. Some young women who are just starting to enter the workplace and want to make themselves look more mature will also use No. 5.
The middle and back adjustment of No. 5 is gentle, which is also consistent with the eldest sister.
"Sister, do you like to use number 5?"
Cosine held the eldest sister's soft hand in her backhand and asked.
Li Wanzi didn't understand why Yuxian had to change the topic. She thought she had already thought about it and replied: "It's okay.
I often use No. 5 recently. Don’t you like me using this one?”
"like.
But I prefer the Green Encounter or Miss COCO that my elder sister used before.”
"Xiao Xian likes it, then I will only use these two perfumes in the future."
In this parallel world, the Han Kingdom is not inferior to Amelika on the other side of the ocean in terms of economic strength or military strength.
The exchange rate between the Han Yuan and the US dollar has remained 1 to 1 year-on-year. My sister’s salary during her internship is about 3k per month. Buying a few bottles of perfume worth 100 or 200 yuan can only be considered daily consumption.
Perfume is just a daily necessity, not a luxury.
More than ten minutes later, Li's father parked the old BMW in the underground parking lot and led his son and niece to his own magazine.
Yu Xian has been to Qingyuan Magazine several times before, and is not unfamiliar with the staff in the magazine.
Qingyuan Magazine is just a county-level magazine with just over ten employees and only six editors. Li’s father is the editor-in-chief, and the following are four editors in charge, as well as the intern editor as the eldest sister.
Back at the magazine, Li's father took the lead in summoning all the editors to the office and said, "Next, I have a big event to announce."
The four editors thought it was not good. Is it necessary to lay off employees?
Everyone knows the recent situation of the magazine. If you don’t make ends meet, you can only increase revenue and reduce expenditure if you want to turn the situation around.
Open source is a work that was agreed upon, but recently famous artists from Yanzhou have no inspiration, so it is really hard to say that writing is like this.
Reducing money means laying off employees. Qingyuan Magazine is full of old employees. Li’s father is nostalgic and has never had this idea.
"Stop talking about the editor-in-chief, we understand."
Editor Big Apple sighed and said dejectedly: "Editor-in-chief, you have been doing your best to persevere until now.
I have been in this magazine for the longest time and have a relationship with the magazine. If I have to lay off employees.
I am willing to quit my job voluntarily and don’t have one-yuan layoff subsidy, as long as "Qingyuan" can continue."
To be continued...
