Re-select the life system

Chapter 11: Chapter 11: Time is waiting for me

Old Cui fumbled in his pocket and took out a cigarette. Smoking has been his character for many years in reviewing manuscripts, and tobacco and tea have become the standard in this industry.

The reason why Zhiyin magazine has become so popular is that it has captured the curiosity and voyeuristic hearts of the public.

How to select this kind of manuscripts among the many manuscripts is also considered a technical task. If Qin He submits manuscripts for Reader Magazine and for Zhiyin Magazine, then 100% of the manuscripts will be rejected because the style change does not conform.

As for the style Zhiyin Magazine wanted, Qin He knew very well, so he carefully wrote a dozen articles that would definitely impress the editors.

In fact, Qin He is more comfortable writing articles in the bosom friend style, because as long as he recalls Zhihu stories with tens of thousands of likes, and then changes the characters in them, it seems true and false, true and false, if not Going to investigate, it is absolutely impossible to see.

And Zhihu's bloody stories with over [-] likes are not comparable to Zhiyin's style.

Although Zhiyin's style is obvious, and there are a lot of manuscripts submitted in each issue, it is really not easy to choose suitable manuscripts, because people in this era are still not imaginative enough.

Many readers read the bosom friend stories and want to write and contribute their goofy stories. Although these stories are also stories of love, hatred, murder, etc., they are even real stories.

However, most of the contributors just simply describe the matter before submitting the manuscript, and the editor has a look at the result.

The title is, I know a murder case, the content is: In a certain month of a certain year, a murder case occurred in my community. It was said that it was an affair. The husband and wife fought, and the husband killed his wife by mistake.

The matter is finished in a few hundred words. How could this kind of manuscript fall into the eyes of the editors?

Experienced submissions should be, the title is: Highly educated doctor caught cheating, murdered his wife in a fit of rage!
As for the content, it is natural to describe the various psychological reactions of the husband and wife clearly and plainly, shocking, angry, and sad.

Only in this way can people eat melons be attracted.

Old Cui was smoking a cigarette expressionlessly, reading one letter after another.

I was in a bad mood today, and the content of the manuscript was even more shit. Many manuscripts that looked like elementary school students' essays made Lao Cui's teeth hurt.

The cigarettes in Old Cui's cigarette case gradually decreased, and after an unknown amount of time, Old Cui sat up straight suddenly, and finally a post appeared in front of him that made him a little interested.

This thick manuscript, the first article attracted him.

The protagonist is a criminal investigation policeman who has personally experienced a case. The characters in it include bosses, female stars, rich women, bloody cases, and derailed vendettas. All the grievances and hatreds are included in this article.

Even at the end of the article, there is a follow-up and suspense, because in this case, the murderer committed suicide in prison and left a name.

And this name is a character that has appeared since the beginning of the article. This character has appeared as a good guy from the beginning. From beginning to end, he has nothing to do with the case.

And at the end, the murderer left his name, as if it was a cloud of fog that makes people want to stop, because many self-righteous smart people read this article carefully, and they will find that although this good man has nothing to do with the case, but in the case , Many key people have unclear relationships with this good person, and there is even a clue that was drawn out because of the appearance of this person.

The suspenseful atmosphere at the end adds a touch of aftertaste to this ordinary love and hatred, and the description of the criminal investigation police adds a touch of truth.

Lao Cui read this article twice, and always felt itchy in his heart, and had the illusion of finding out what the truth was.

Like Xiao Han, Lao Cui was finally attracted by another story, because there are three single stories in this submission letter.

Perhaps it is because of the high cost of Zhiyin's manuscripts. Qin He wrote Zhiyin's contribution, and the length of the article was a little longer, but the details in it were more exciting and real. Compared with the stories edited by Zhiyin, it was definitely a higher grade.

In fact, the reason why Qin He left a suspense is because the original story on Zhihu was too long. He had no choice but to take the essence, and add the stars, bosses, and characters that his bosom friend needed to make a story by himself. Of course, They are all pseudonyms. I don’t know if this person’s name exists in reality.

As for the name left behind by the murderer who committed suicide in prison, who knows what it means.

Anyway, Qin He felt that the good guy was uncomfortable, so he left his name on purpose, who cares so much!
To get an answer with more than [-] likes on Zhihu, there must be attractive content, not to mention the kind of curious Q&A.

Lao Cui didn't continue to read other submissions throughout the morning. He read these three articles carefully several times.

The first combination of Zhihu and Zhiyin made this magazine editor in the 90s seem to open the door to a new world. It turns out that articles can still be written like this!

As for the contributions to the Story Club, Qin He's style is basically in line with the style of the Story Club magazine of this era. As for whether it will be picked up by the editors at a glance like the Reader Zhiyin Magazine, that's unknown.

However, Qin He has submitted ten articles to each of their magazines. He believes that there will always be a discerning editor who will pick up his pearl.

In order to get the manuscript fee as soon as possible, Qin He also left his address, name, ID number, and contact information for all remittances in each letter, and also wrote a short story to express that he really needed the manuscript fee as soon as possible.

In order to get the manuscript fee as soon as possible, Qin He made up a story, that is, he was gifted and self-taught since he was a child, and he loves to listen to stories. , and I haven’t saved any money in these years, and I urgently need a sum of money to treat my parents’ illness, so I write the experiences I have heard over the years as stories and submit them, time is life!
If these stories compiled by Qin He were in later generations, it would be easy to find out, but in this era, let alone the investigation is very troublesome, and magazines do not spend that much time on the investigation. It is normal for the article to be well-written and paid for the manuscript Yes, they just need money urgently for family reasons.

The reason why Qin He is in such a hurry to ask for the manuscript fee is firstly the tuition and living expenses of several children, and secondly, he is in a hurry. According to the urgency of this era, the articles published this month may be in the previous few months For the selected manuscripts, the author will be thankful for the manuscript fee after three to five months, and it is not surprising that it will be half a year or a year.

Moreover, in less than three years, I broke my leg at the beginning, and I have four children at home. I have no money and no legs, so I can't go out at all. In this case, I can only hope that the magazine manuscript payment will be paid sooner.

With the manuscript fee, first solve the worries of a few children, and then think about writing a work that will allow Lin Yiqing to fulfill the last wish of a great writer. Time waits for no one.

As for what works to write, Qin He already has a plan in mind after these days of analysis and research.

Time is running out, time waits for me!
