Great Writer

Chapter 19: Rain alley

　　 When Wang Mo'er got the twenty silver dollars she had deposited with her young master, her whole person was still a little weird, and she felt like she was living in a dream.

"Now, we finally have the first income." Wang Defu's face showed a gratified smile, "Red Rose is a semi-monthly publication. I submit 20,000 to 30,000 manuscripts at a time, and submit manuscripts twice a month. I can get forty to sixty silver dollars in draft fees (equivalent to 4000 to 6000 yuan for later generations), which is more than enough to maintain our daily lives for the time being."

　　Wang Defu only feels that his confidence has become more sufficient. Even in the worst case of a complete break with his home, he can remain calm, because his economy is independent and he no longer needs to be controlled by others.

　　 Of course, as a last resort, Wang Defu doesn't want to be too stubborn with his family. He is not an ungodly person, he just wants to gain greater autonomy.

Wang Mo'er looked up at her young master with extremely admiring eyes. She thought that the young master made money through writing is a matter of little hope. At the beginning, she was rejected by the "Gusu Evening News", which made her feel sorry for the young master, and only thought he did it. I didn't work hard, but I didn't expect it, and then it turned around.

This incident made Wang Mo'er further understand that the phrase "knowledge is power" that the young master always said is not a lie. If she is allowed to earn these twenty silver dollars, to sew and wash clothes for others, it is estimated that she will not be able to earn it for a month. so much.

　　 It is because she does this kind of work that has no technical content at all, and there are too many people who can do it, and literary works like "Love and Sex" cannot be written by any writer.

Although Du Shuhuan first paid the manuscript fee for "Red Rose" magazine, there was obviously still a contract to be signed between Wang Defu and "Red Rose", so a few days later, Wang Defu met with "Red Rose" editor-in-chief Ling Jingsu. He still carries Wang Mo'er, who is almost inseparable from him.

　　 He did not admit that he was the creator of "Love and Sex" anyway, but pushed Wang Moer out as "Ms. Yiren".

　　 Ling Jingsu met with Wang Defu in a teahouse in Suzhou city. It was raining on this day. You need to go through an alley to go to the teahouse. The architecture here is rich in ancient style.

Coincidentally, Ling Jingsu, who was holding an oil-paper umbrella and wearing a modern Hanfu, met Wang Defu by chance before walking into the alley, but they did not know each other at that time, but they just looked at each other and they left each other behind. Was deeply impressed.

　　 It can be said that there is no reason, and it can also be said that the appearance of the two is too good. When they are completely unfamiliar and have no communication, to leave a deep impression, what does it depend on appearance?

Wang Defu stopped and let Ling Jingsu, who was holding the oil-paper umbrella, walk into the rain alley first. He only felt that this beautiful woman had the same perfect temperament, but was too cold and arrogant, just like cloves, with sorrows. someone's girl.

　　 The encounter before the meeting made the people after the meeting quickly become acquainted with each other. Even if the little excitement between each other's hearts is not clearly manifested, the indescribable fit makes each other happy.

The contract was signed very smoothly. "Red Rose" magazine only needs the serial copyright of the work "Affection and Sex". If a separate copy is to be published later, Wang Defu can contact the publishing house herself, and of course she can continue to cooperate with Ling Jingsu. Agency publishing.

　　 Ling Jingsu, the official lady, is not just an editor, she has a lot of background and connections.

Wang Defu got the sample issue of the next issue of "Red Rose" on the spot, and found that his work has become the main work of "Red Rose", occupying the best page of the entire magazine. It can be seen that Ling Jingsu is indeed right. This work has given high hopes.

　　 Of course, from another perspective, you can also know that the authors of the "Red Rose" magazine have no cards, and there are too few who can really get them. This has made Wang Defu, a purely new writer, come to the top.

Ling Jingsu also did not conceal the shortage of author resources under her magazine, and said generously to Wang Defu: "Since Mr. Wang is studying at a prestigious school like Soochow University, there must be talents with good writing in the school. If possible, let them Everyone tried to contribute to "Red Rose", whether it was a novel, prose, or poem, as long as the quality was outstanding, I would not refuse anyone who came here."

Of course, Wang Defu is willing to help with such a small effort. In fact, he really hopes that the sales of "Red Rose" will be higher and higher, so that as the author of the contract with "Red Rose", his status will be higher and higher. .

Of course, the "Ms. Yiren" who signed the contract with "Red Rose" on the surface, but Wang Mo'er, this is probably like a later generation of Internet writers signing with the website, taking his sister’s ID card and signing the contract with the website. In fact, It is my brother who wrote the article.

　　 Ling Jingsu, like Du Shuhuan, can tell at a glance who the real author of "Love and Sex" is, but she is willing to cooperate with Wang Defu.

Ling Jingsu does not talk about the embarrassing H content in this work, but talks about how well a modern poem like "Farewell to Cambridge" is written. As a female literary youth, she is fascinated by the present. The more popular modern poetry genres, this does not mean that ancient poems are out of date, but in this era, it is difficult for poets to write how classic ancient poems are.

This is not a question of poets, but a question of the times. Every age has styles that are popular in every age, just like Tang poetry, Song poetry, and Yuan tune. But in the history of this world, they are not called Tang poetry, Song verse, and Yuan tune. Qu, because there are no such dynasties at all, there are great poets who have lived through the ages, comparable to Li Bai and Su Shi in his world.

Seeing that Ling Jingsu likes modern poetry so much, Wang Defu's vision of how many years ahead of the world, and some insights about modern poetry that he said at random, made Ling Jingsu's eyes shine brightly, and he only felt that Wang Defu deserved to be able to. UU reading www.uukanshu.com is too deep for the writer who portrays the role of a great poet like "Xu Shizhe" in modern poetry!

　　Wang Defu seemed to remember something when he was talking, but he took out a pen, wrote a modern poem called "Rain Alley" on the paper, and gave it to Ling Jingsu.

　　 Ling Jingsu looked at the content of the poem with expectation after Wang Defu left.
