Chapter 193 Literary Spring and Autumn is released!
"Don't trust people too much. You don't want others to be kind to you before you trust them completely." President Jian looked at the other party's confused face, sighed, and said more clearly.
"Huh?" Gu Lu thought.
“The fact that you were soft-banned in Neon is also due to the editor-in-chief of Time Reasoning.” President Jian’s words were astonishing.
"Editor Gao?" Gu Lu was really surprised this time, "But a few of my short stories were published through the channels of years of reasoning."
If you are going to embarrass him, you shouldn’t send his article overseas!
"It is true that your success abroad is due to the channel of "Times Reasoning", but if you are too successful, it will not be good for Time Time Reasoning." President Jian said, "To be precise, "Floating Wenzhi" The editor-in-chief of Time’s Reasoning did not contribute to the soft ban, but just stood aside and watched.”
Things were a little complicated. Gu Lu put down his chopsticks and was very successful in Neon. How could it not be good for Time’s Reasoning? There is a passion for incense!
"What do you mean by standing by and watching?" Gu Lu suddenly thought of Editor Han saying that Chief Editor Gao had exhausted his resources and could not find other magazines to publish in.
Is it because of this? But it’s your duty not to help, right? This is according to Gu Lu.
"The new issue of "The Reasoning of the Years" has published four fictitious works. Judging from your thoughtful expression, I think you are right. It is an exchange of copyrights between the two magazines. Everyone in the publishing circle basically knows this. " President Jian said.
As mentioned before, Neon Magazine’s long-term contract is for exclusive publication. To introduce neon works, not only the author must be paid, but also a sum of money must be paid to the publisher.
The publication of Gu Lu's works is equivalent to helping "Times Reasoning" save a sum of copyright fees. In this case, it would be problematic to just sit back and watch.
"The Time Mystery Magazine does not exchange copyrights. You or the editorial department of "Story Club" should still receive a copyright fee from Fuwenzhi." President Jian said.
After understanding, Gu Lu recalled the offline meeting of the AC Forum's 10th anniversary. Chief Editor Gao was a very kind and nice middle-aged man. Why would he do something that would harm others but not benefit himself?
"The world of publishing and journals is very complicated." President Jian looked at the confused Gu Lu and considered that he was only a high school student after all, and no matter how mature he was, he did not understand the twists and turns of adults.
“Don’t trust others with all your heart and soul just because they treat you a little bit well. Adults will lie to children.” President Jian said.
Wow, this knife is so sharp. Gu Lu feels that many people are like him, right?
“It’s like a new book. If there is a publishing house with better conditions in every aspect, there is no need to take into account friendship.” President Jian said.
Gu Lu cannot control his behavior rationally. To put it more bluntly, even if he knows that President Jian wants to trick him, he has helped him so much and he will accept it once. It is quite a sign of friendship." Buyout fee”.
It was already half past eight in the evening when we returned to the hotel after dinner.
The next day, Gu Lu went to see the Mao Zedong Memorial Hall, but he couldn’t get up to raise the flag...
It was so painful that Gu Lu simply didn’t sleep the next day and stayed an hour and a half early. Near the flag-raising platform, your dream comes true successfully!
In the afternoon, Gu Lu went to the train station to pick up his classmate Tian Xiao, but was delayed for a while.
“Damn it, Brother Gu Lu, is it really so profitable to write novels?”
Tian Xiao came to the Beijing Hotel where Gu Lu was staying, next to Wangfujing and less than one kilometer away from Tiananmen Square.
“This area must be very expensive for one night.” Tian Xiao’s eyes widened, and his eyes revealed: It turns out you are a rich man.
“I don’t know the details. The publishing house opened it to me.” Gu Lu said.
Tian Xiao said with admiration, "Then let me treat Brother Zhenlun to hot pot. I bought a coupon. A meal for two is only 69, and there are many dishes."
The pen-turning king also knows something. You are kind to the world, stay in a hotel for free, and treat yourself to a meal.
"Group coupon?" Such a strange yet familiar word, Gu Lu was stunned for a moment.
“Yes, you can buy it on Tuanbao.com, Gaopeng.com, and Manzuo.com, and there are many discounts.” Tian Xiao said, “I always shop around!”
A word suddenly appeared in Gu Lu's mind, Thousand Regiments Battle! From 2010 to 2014, thousands of group buying companies engaged in a money-burning war that left their brains bursting.
This is undoubtedly a good thing for customers, because they are burning money to seize the market!
“I didn’t notice that such a big thing is happening on the Internet.” Gu Lu muttered, and at the same time, he thought of an opportunity to make a fortune. It seems that in 2013, Meituan, which received a large amount of financing, held a month-long event to collect donations. Website slogan, if you adopt it, you will get a million bonus. The final winner was “Meituan is beautiful every time”.
"What's the big deal?" Tian Xiao didn't hear clearly, "Brother Zulu, is there something wrong? If anything happens, we can go there tomorrow."
"Just today."
Gu Lucai is busy tomorrow and has to attend the Writers Association meeting.
The trip to the Beijing Writers Association... I can only talk about it roughly, because he is not the protagonist of this conference, and can only be a supporting role witnessing the conversations of the big guys.
It could be said that the room was full of big guys, and Gu Lu was really speechless.
In the field of fairy tales alone, he saw Zheng Yuanjie, Cao Wenxuan, Jin Bo, Fan Fajia...
Do you feel that the name Fan Fajia is unfamiliar, but you must be familiar with his works, "Painting" He wrote children's poems such as "The Sun", "Hopscotch", "Swinging", etc. In addition, he is also a famous critic, not as famous as Yu Xinyao, because Fan Fajia only reviews children's literature.
To put it another way, Cao Wenxuan’s works are not many, but his high status in the literary world is also praised by Fan Fajia.
"Thatched House" is known as the first fairy tale novel of the 20th century.
The current version of "The Little Prince" is really not enough.
In addition, there are Yan Lianke, Yang Jiang, etc. Gu Lu feels that they are names written into textbooks. These are all names he is familiar with.
There is also a great writer in this world: Zhuang Mei, who is a native of the capital. He is good at writing prose and has beautiful words. He is known as the "Second Ice Heart", but Zhuang Mei himself does not recognize this title.
Beijing deserves to be the capital, and the association is too strong.
Compared to the Fog City Writers Association...forget it, there is no comparison.
"Yes, the future is yours." Cao Wenxuan said with a smile, "Old Jane often recommends "The Little Prince" to me, but I haven't had time to watch it seriously yet."
Fan Fajia also nodded, saying that he had also suffered President Jian's head massage was good news.
"When I read "The Little Prince", I thought it was not written by an adult, and I was right." Zheng Yuanjie said.
So the original author is very powerful when he wrote "The Little Prince" at an adult age.
"Have you registered the copyright for the illustrations of "The Little Prince"? You must protect your copyright." Zheng Yuanjie said, "People nowadays are very bad."
"Already registered." Gu Lu responded.
"That's good." Zheng Yuanjie said, "If you have any copyright issues, you can ask me. I am also a good doctor after a long illness."
Gu Lu originally came to talk to Grandma Yang Jiang We talked, but unfortunately grandma was old and showed up during the meeting, so she went back to rest.
King Guru stayed for five days.
The pen-turning king stayed for two days.
The two people's trip in the capital ended. Gu Lu saw a lot during this trip and met some powerful people, such as Cao Wenxuan, one of the chief editors of textbooks for primary and secondary school students.
There are also bad things, hearing about "The Reasoning of Time".
But Tian Xiao failed. He is a master of pen-turning in the Southwest District, but even though there are few pen-turning people in the country, masters from all over the country gathered together, plus two foreign masters specially invited by the conference, Tian Xiaoba I didn't even get ahead...
I couldn't comfort myself, I was bruised by the failure, it was useless to say anything, and Gu Lu didn't know how to write.
Just like that, a week passed and "Literary Spring and Autumn" was released!
