Chapter 7 Because She's the Pride of Heaven, Zhen Qianqian
The contract is in duplicate. According to the agreement on the contract, as long as the cosine is provided in time, "Love" requires at least 12,000-18,000 works to be serialized in each issue, except for the last issue, and it must be the main recommendation.
Correspondingly, during the serialization period, Cosine is not allowed to publish works on any other media without the permission of the magazine, and it is not allowed to publish them physically before completion.
The royalties are paid in one payment per issue, that is, weekly salary.
Each issue has 15,000 words, which is 18,000 weeks before tax. This is undoubtedly a high income, and there is still more than 11,000 after tax payment.
At present, the magazine is relatively tight, but the author's manuscript fee is the top priority. Li's father paid the manuscript remuneration in advance, public is public and private is private.
The tax laws of Dahan are very strict. As long as Cosine dares to get only 1 yuan in royalties, she will be investigated for tax evasion.
After the contract was signed, Cosine was still not put back home. The manuscript was typos, and the words and sentences were a bit stiff in individual paragraphs, and there was still a lot of room for modification.
After all, Cosine was just an online writer after all. No matter how good he is to imitate, he could not perfectly imitate Gu Long and Yasunari Kawabata's writing style, and there would be some online writer flavor between the lines.
It’s not that the online article is bad, it’s just that it’s not suitable.
Li's father specially arranged Banana as the executive editor of Cosine to discuss in detail with Cosine. How to modify the places that are not suitable for "Qingyuan".
Banana has been in the industry for nearly ten years and is an older literary young woman. Readers who understand "Qingyuan" prefer to read what they like, and have given many pertinent suggestions, but there is no mandatory requirement that Cosine must be modified.
On the contrary, I am very polite. The left one is “Teacher Cosine, can you change it here?” The right one is “Teacher Cosine, I think it is more appropriate to modify it to ×× here.”
After signing the contract, Cosine has become a quasi-novelist. No matter how young he is, he is still a Qingliu and has a high social status in the Han Dynasty.
In addition, many literati have their own representative style of writing. If there are too many changes, they will lose that taste and become the most popular.
Cosine also reciprocates her love, "Sister Banana" and "Sister Banana calls me Xiaoxian". After careful consideration, most of the suggestions made by Banana were also modified.
After the refinement of "Ashes of Time", the literary atmosphere is stronger, the Wong Kar-wai style is more obvious, and the text feels stronger.
Banana editors really have two brushes.
One day passed just like that.
At the evening when the sun sets, everyone packs up their things and is preparing to get off work, Li's father suddenly receives a call.
After talking to the other party for a long time, Yan Yuese hung up the phone. Li's father suddenly sighed with a very regretful expression. It was a pity to say a few words, a pity.
Big Apple packed up the documents and asked, "What's wrong with the editor-in-chief? What's the pity?"
"Teacher Jie Yu just called and said he wanted to contribute to "Qingyuan".
"Did Teacher Jieyu have a new work?"
"That's not."
Li’s father shook his head and explained: “Teacher Jieyu is a junior who is presenting a contribution to us, hoping to get a famous contract and main promotional page that is comparable to the level.”
"Teacher Jieyu is a famous artist who has provided us with manuscripts. If it is her own work, she will definitely get the famous artist contract and main promotional page.
But we are just a junior of Teacher Jieyu. We have never seen any works. We ask for a famous contract and main promotional layout when we open our mouths. I don’t think it’s OK.”
The Big Apple doesn't think it's a pity to reject the other party.
The reason why famous artists are famous artists is that they have proved their strength many times. The new works of famous artists only have a title and a single word without a text, and they can get a contract at the level of famous artists in advance.
Cosine was endorsed by Li’s father, and everyone has seen the works. It is true that the level of famous artists is so that he got the lowest-level famous artist contract.
Jie Yu himself is not a particularly outstanding famous artist. He wants to get a junior contract with a famous artist in just one sentence, but it is not enough.
"What if it is Zhen Qianqian, the junior of Teacher Jieyu?" Li's father was still regretful.
All four editors stopped the work at hand and looked at Li's father incredibly.
"Which Zhen Qianqian is it?" Big Apple asked.
"It's the Zhen Qianqian you know."
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the editors were exactly the same as Li's father, and they were also sighing, which was a pity.
“That’s a pity.
Zhen Qianqian must have no problem getting a contract of a famous artist, and even the thousand-word manuscript fee starts with 2 or even 3. If it is her work, it will definitely bring "Qingyuan" back to life.
Unfortunately, we have signed a contract with Teacher Xiaoxian, and his works are also excellent. It is impossible for us to sign two works by famous artists at the same time."
After compromising, Sister Banana decided to call Mr. Cosine Xiaoxian. She is still optimistic about Cosine's works, after all, she has participated in the revisions.
"So I refuse to know Teacher Yu."
Li's father picked up the thermos cup and unscrewed the bottle cap and took a sip of wolfberry health tea, and said, "Xiao Xian's works are indeed excellent, but that's Zhen Qianqian...
Forget it, I have refused."
Cosine was confused. After all, it was not a front-line worker like Li’s father and sister Banana, who only knew some masters and more famous masters.
I have never heard of the name Zhen Qianqian. Besides, Li’s father has already read his own works, and it is said that it is an unquestionable master-level work, and it is even better after modification.
Even so, I still think that I am not as good as Zhen Qianqian. What is the origin of the other side?
"Have this Zhen Qianqian published any particularly excellent works?" Yu Xian was puzzled.
"She has not published any public works, and she is still a senior student at Yanzhou University."
Father Li shook his head.
Yu Xian was even more confused. She was a pure amateur like me. Li’s father had never seen Zhen Qianqian’s works, so why was she so confident in her?
Li's father understood the expression of cosine and explained: "She is Zhen Pingwa's daughter."
I was shocked, and Yuxian was completely shocked. If you had said that she was Zhen Pingwa's daughter, wouldn't I understand long ago?
Cosine doesn't know much about the literary world in this parallel world, but he has heard of the name Zhen Pingwa many times, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is well-known.
Zhen Pingwa published her debut work "Imperial" at the age of 18. The following year, she won the Yanzhou Outstanding Youth Award and debuted as a famous artist.
He published the novel "Yanzhou" at the age of 20, published the novel "White Night" at the age of 22, published the novel "Abandoned City" at the age of 23, published the novel "Tumen" at the age of 24, and won the French Femina Literature Award for "Abandoned City"...
Not only is it high yield like a sow, but every work has also maintained a very high level, and is at the level of a famous artist.
Until he was 32 years old, he published his personal novel "The Song of the Great Qin", and the passages in this novel were excerpted into the textbooks of Dahan Junior High School.
That year, Zhen Pingwa won the Jade Dragon Award, one of the highest awards in the literature of the Han Dynasty for this work, and was officially crowned a master novelist.
Zhen Pingwa, 47, serves as the dean of the School of Literature of Yanzhou University and the chairman of the Yanzhou Writers Association. She is the well-deserved leader, leader and person in charge of the Yanzhou literary world.
Sister Banana clicked on Qiange's search page and typed the word "Zhen Qianqian", and thousands of related news immediately popped up.
Sister Banana pushed the laptop in front of Cosine and clicked a few at will, and the news content was surprisingly consistent.
All of them are famous artists from all walks of life who praise Zhen Qianqian, saying that her literary literacy is the best of the younger generation, and her writing style is innovative and transcends the entire era.
If you don’t make a sound, you will be far behind. Once you publish your works, you will definitely be far behind and leave all young writers far behind.
The first news is even more exaggerated. Master Zhen Pingwa said in a speech that she is old and cannot reach the literary realm of her daughter. Her daughter's current literary literacy has surpassed herself.
Cosine couldn't help but be amazed. This was too exaggerated. She clicked on more than a dozen links in a row, and the whole article was full of praise. The more she read it, the more she became numb.
Half of famous artists from Yanzhou are endorsing Zhen Qianqian.
According to them, Zhen Qianqian surpassed Beigong Qingguang's literary genius. She debuted as a famous scholar. She became a master at the age of 30 and was crowned the leader of the Chinese literary world at the age of 40.
"I can't compare, I can't compare." Cosine felt ashamed of her.
My memory is indeed a little bit stronger, and I have recorded the details of more than 100 earthly literary works, but my writing style still needs to be tempered.
The opposite is the real pride of heaven!
"You understand now, why I keep saying it's a pity." Li's father comforted Cosine, it's not that you are not outstanding enough, but that the opposite side is so evil.
"I understand completely." Cosine nodded repeatedly.
Soldiers must have backbone, and literati must also have character.
Literary people are kind-hearted, such as Li's father, and they will never endorse Cosine until they confirm that Cosine is really powerful. This is Li's father's insistence as a literary practitioner.
Zhen Pingwa, half a famous artist in Yanzhou, are endorsing Zhen Qianqian. It is impossible that they will just swear around without forcing them.
Not to mention anything else, Zhen Pingwa's book was excerpted from the textbooks of the Han Dynasty. Don't swear it around, and you must not be safe in your later years.
According to logical reasoning, Zhen Qianqian must have had a few tricks.
"It would be great if that teacher Jieyu had called. A few years ago, Master Zhen Pingwa and various famous artists were endorsing Zhen Qianqian. She did not publish her debut work until this year.
It must be a stunning work that has been sharpening a sword for ten years. Maybe it can bring "Qingyuan" to a new level, and I am happy to be idle."
Cosine talked for a while, called earlier, and wrote a book about hammers himself. Isn’t it better to be able to take the big guys to fly?
"A literati must have a strong character, and as a father, you must abide by the spirit of contract. Moreover, your works are also excellent." Li's father comforted Cosine, which was also comforting himself.
"By the way, dad."
Yu Xian suddenly thought of something and asked: "If you reject Jia Qianqian, you won't have any conflicts with her, her father is the leader of the literary world in Yanzhou after all."
"It shouldn't."
Without thinking, Li's father replied: "As the saying goes, there are many great masters.
It was just that the contribution was not reached once, and Jia Qianqian could publish his works in other magazines.
