Chapter 60 Teacher Gu, can’t we have both manuscripts? (Please follow up)
Feng’s mother, Gu Xueqing, didn’t stay in the office for long and returned to Liu Xinwu’s office again.
Looking at Lao Wang and Lao Liu who were both fascinated at the desk, she did not bother them, but walked back and forth in the corridor, waiting!
"Old Liu, how are you?!"
After finally waiting for Liu Xinwu to finish reading inside, Feng's mother couldn't wait to go in and asked.
Lao Wang, who was still watching at the same time, was also awakened and looked up at Liu Xinwu opposite.
"Old Wang, what did you think of your article?"
Liu Xinwu did not review Xue Qing's words, but asked Wang Shimin.
"very good!"
Wang Shimin's words were concise and to the point, and he couldn't put it down before he finished reading. However, he still handed it over to Lao Liu for his eyes.
By the way, I also took over the short story in Lao Liu's hand and saw how it was written.
At the level of this novella, and Gu Xueqing was so anxious, she was obviously more optimistic about the short story in Lao Liu's hands.
So it can only be better.
But what Lao Wang didn't expect was that when he handed over the novella in his hand, the short story that Lao Liu had finished reading was actually turned over and held under his hand, and he wouldn't give it to him anymore!
What do you mean! ?
This time Wang Shimin's stretched out hand became stiff!
What does Lao Liu mean by this? ! Do you mean not to show it to him? And he even covered it up so that the cat wouldn’t even look at him?
"Old Liu, can you talk about this manuscript first?!" How could Feng's mother Gu Xueqing wait for Liu Xinwu to read another novella? She quickly pressed the novella with one hand and said, "There are two manuscripts. But I only promise to give you one! If you think this short story is not good, Lao Liu, I will withdraw it!”
"However, I personally prefer the previous short story. If you dare to be in it, you will definitely be a bigger star than Li Qingquan!"
Damn it!
Teacher Gu, if you say this, Wang Shimin, who is listening on the sidelines, will become even more resentful. What kind of fairy manuscript is this, and Lao Liu just holds it down and refuses to show it to him? !
Cao Aiqin and the other editors came here after hearing the news again. They were also full of horror after hearing the news. It was bigger than the big star of Yanjing Literature this time. Doesn't it mean that the writing is better than "The Wrangler"?
Where did the author of "Wrangler", Lao Xu, come from? ? Why is this article more awesome than the last?
No wonder Gu Xueqing came here this morning, walking with wind in her eyes. Don’t be too sassy, proud and flamboyant!
"Teacher Gu, is this manuscript really a new work by Lao Xu, the author of "Wrangler"? I think the writing style is a bit different!"
Liu Xinwu tried his best to restrain himself and warned himself to stay calm. Originally, he wanted to read the novella first and talk later!
But Teacher Gu was urging him again, and Liu Xinwu had no choice but to speak!
First of all, this manuscript is very, very powerful. Just as Teacher Gu said, it is definitely bigger than the Star of David released by Li Qingquan.
Secondly, this manuscript is really, really bold, even bolder than the "Class Teacher" he wrote at the beginning of the year. Liu Xinwu should slow down.
Also, is this manuscript really a new work by the author of "Wrangler"?
The writing style was completely irrelevant, and Liu Xinwu was very suspicious. Did Teacher Gu really bring out the manuscript that her lover Lao Feng had hidden in the bottom of the box? !
Otherwise, with the writing skills and experience of the new author of "Wrangler", can he write such a super bold and profound manuscript?
"Old Liu, don't worry about whether it's "Wrangler" or not. I've already said that I don't know whether it's "Wrangler" or not. I'm just asking you if you want to use this manuscript?"
"Don't really do what other authors say. Even if the manuscript is given to us, whether we dare to use it or not is another matter."
Feng's mother, Gu Xueqing, pressed the question again, and in the end she even said something provocative to Liu Xinwu.
"Old Liu, why don't you give it to me to read? How is this manuscript written? Teacher Gu is exaggerating, right? Even Li Qingquan dares to let newcomers appear on the front page. Where did we fall short in October? One manuscript Don’t even dare to use it?”
Lao Wang was even more itchy next to him. What kind of Riddler would their leadership team fight? If you are not sure, you can show him for reference!
"Old Wang, don't worry!" Liu Xinwu waved his hand. Even though Lao Wang was talking about this, he still waved his hand to tell him not to worry, without showing it to him.
"I……"
Can Wang Shimin not be anxious?
It can be seen that Liu Xinwu's face was solemn, and Wang Shimin seemed to have realized something. Could it be that he really couldn't read this manuscript?
"Teacher Gu, I have to research this manuscript and find someone to help me palm my eyes first!"
Uncertain, Liu Xinwu did not dare to make a decision on the spot.
"But this novella is quite interesting. Why don't you give us October as well?"
Liu Xinwu was still beating the drum in his heart about that short story, and he didn't dare to make a decision. He glanced at the beginning of the novella in his hand. It was also good, the subject matter was not too sensitive, and he could definitely publish it in the next issue.
"Then let's keep this novella? I'll reject the short story! The author said that he promised one article from Yanjing Literature, but he can only give one out of the two!"
Of course Feng's mother wanted to keep both novels, but she was not really greedy or overbearing. Her son-in-law had already agreed to the novella of Yanjing Literature, so she didn't want to make it difficult for her son-in-law.
As for keeping the novella and withdrawing the short story, it was entirely Feng's mother who was provoking him. She saw that Liu Xinwu was reluctant to withdraw the short story, and even Lao Wang wouldn't give it a look, so it was strange that he would give it up.
"A promise is a promise, we can definitely go and talk to the author! Think about back then, when we wanted to get old money from them for a manuscript, when did we not have a bloody fight?" Liu Xinwu smiled bitterly and continued. He said, "Well, Teacher Gu, go talk to the author. Our October price will be as high as seven yuan per thousand words. I don't believe Li Qingquan has the courage!"
"Seven yuan for a thousand words?!" Gu Xueqing rolled her eyes and laughed at Liu Xinwu, "Li Qingquan was given seven yuan for a thousand words for the "Wrangler" article. We have no advantage in terms of manuscript fee price!" "And other authors have said that we are ten The magazine is not that big and can’t accommodate two articles in a single month, so Yanjing Literature agreed to it, and it was on his front page for three consecutive issues a year ago!”
"ah?!"
Liu Xinwu thought he was so courageous that he directly offered the new author the top price of seven yuan per thousand words, and he kept making fun of Li Qingquan for being stingy.
But who would have known that Li Qingquan paid the Wrangler author seven yuan per thousand words for his first article.
Not only does it cost seven yuan per thousand words, but it also made headlines for three consecutive issues a year ago. How can it rob people?
At the same time, this also makes it even more precious that Teacher Gu was able to obtain these two manuscripts. It was not easy!
"Besides, Lao Liu, don't you think about the length of this novella?"
"Other authors have said that this is only half of the work. His novella is expected to be over 200,000 words long!"
"Let me ask you, Lao Liu, how much does it cost to publish an issue of "October"?"
Gu Xueqing helped Liu Xinwu make a choice sharply again!
"Two hundred thousand words?! Is this...is this a novella!? Isn't it a bit..."
Liu Xinwu's mouth was twitching extremely. They really couldn't afford this novella in October.
More than two hundred thousand words! The total number of articles in their October issue of the magazine may not even be 200,000 words!
Their funding for each October issue is limited to 200,000 words!
If you really want to publish this novella, you might as well just give this author an exclusive special issue!
Can’t use it, can’t use it!
"More than two hundred thousand words?!" Wang Shimin next to him also smacked his lips after hearing this, but also suggested, "Actually, length is not a big issue. We can completely make a serialization and publish it slowly in five or six issues. Right?"
"Old Wang, do you think the author can agree? They gave us two issues and they were unwilling to give us time. You still want to serialize it slowly in five or six issues?"
Lao Wang was choked and speechless.
"Teacher Gu, do you prefer this short story? Reject this novella?!" Liu Xinwu agreed with Lao Wang and said that he could publish it slowly. They can also publish three consecutive front-page headlines in October.
But the author can't wait, which makes it very difficult for them to make a choice.
"Old Liu, if you publish two articles together in this issue, I don't think the author will object!"
hiss!
Liu Xinwu gasped again, Teacher Gu, why don't you just say, just give this author an exclusive special issue this issue!
He also said that this manuscript did not belong to your old Feng, and that Liu Xinwu and Liu could write it backwards.
"Teacher Gu, please leave the manuscript here for now. I will study it and think about it later!"
Liu Xinwu couldn't put it down and wanted both of them.
If I have to choose one, he is also the same as Teacher Gu, and it must be the previous short story!
However, this short story is too sensitive. Liu Xinwu had to find the department leaders to carefully check it.
"Okay, Lao Liu, please hurry up, the author is also waiting for our reply!"
As expected, I don’t dare to go up. I really don’t know what Lao Liu is worried about. Show up with the same courage as you did when you posted “Homeroom Teacher”! Show off the courage you promised before to catch up with Li Qingquan!
Now the manuscript is here, and the opportunity is here, Lao Liu, can you do it? !
"That Teacher Gu, these two articles are really not Lao Feng's?!"
Seeing that Gu Xueqing had walked to the door, Liu Xinwu still asked without giving up and said: "Teacher Gu, tell me, if it is really Lao Feng's, we will publish Lao Feng's two articles in the next issue in October and give him a Exclusive interviews with famous people, how about it?”
"Old Feng is getting old. No matter how hard he tries, he can't make a big star! Give Lao Xu an exclusive interview, he will definitely be a big star!"
Her old man Feng is old, but her son-in-law is still young!
Feng’s mother put such a self-deprecating remark at the door, then returned to her editorial office, leaving Lao Liu to think about the research on his own!
“Could this be Mr. Xu’s new script from “Wrangler”?
Liu Xinwu was also very moved in her heart. Her old Feng was indeed old. How many readers would pay for an exclusive interview with him?
This time, Li Qingquan printed an additional 100,000 copies!
Therefore, if these two articles are really written by Lao Xu, the author of "Wrangler", then they might as well do a solo interview with him in October, which will definitely become a hit.
By then, that old boy Li Qingquan may be so angry that he vomits blood!
"Old Wang, I have to go to the ministry for a walk. You and Teacher Gu take care of the house!"
Thinking of the hot spot, Liu Xinwu couldn't sit still at all. He quickly sorted out the manuscripts on the table, put them all into his briefcase, got up and left!
"Old Liu, you...this manuscript is really that awesome?! You still have to alert the higher-ups!?"
Wang Shimin's face was full of horror when he saw it, and he thought to himself, what kind of satellite did Teacher Gu bring to them in October? ! It's not a big bomb, is it?
"I'll tell you later! Anyway, what Teacher Gu said is right. If these two articles are really written by "Wrangler" Lao Xu, we will give him an exclusive interview with a famous person, and also put a famous satellite to highlight Blind that old boy Li Qingquan’s dog eyes!”
In fact, regardless of whether it came from the hands of Wrangler Lao Xu, we must first decide whether this short story can be published and let the higher-ups check it first.
Immediately, Liu Xinwu left in a hurry without even saying hello to the editorial department!
