Little Farmer Big Star

Which one should I submit my manuscript to?

Li Fan was thinking about this problem when he suddenly remembered his cell phone. He picked it up and saw that it was Zheng Jie calling. ｗWｗ. ｂｉｽUgE. info

Zheng Jie rarely called Li Fan. "Is there something wrong?" Li Fan answered the phone in confusion.

It turned out that the first batch of vegetables in Zheng Jie's small vegetable garden were ripe, and she invited Li Fan and her father and mother over for dinner.

In addition, from what Zheng Jie said, it seemed that the village chief was also invited.

Li Fan chuckled and naturally would not refuse. Zheng Jie and Zhang Xia carefully take care of their small vegetable garden every day. The growth of the vegetables in it seems to be a little better than the vegetables in Li Fan's farm.

This made Zheng Jie extremely happy. No, the first batch of vegetables was ripe, and Li Fan and the others were invited to come over for dinner.

After hanging up the phone, Li Fan looked at the time, 4:30, which was a little early now.

However, he has nothing to do now, so he might as well just go there now.

As for submitting the manuscript, he is not in a hurry for a day or two. Anyway, he doesn't have any good ideas about where to submit it now.

When I came downstairs, I happened to see my mother coming back from outside, and she said: "Mom, the vegetables in Mrs. Zheng's vegetable garden are ready to eat. Let's go over for dinner tonight. I'll go over first, and you and dad will come later." Go over there.”

My mother quickly agreed and said, "Mr. Zheng is really thoughtful."

Li Fan chuckled, walked out of the courtyard, and went straight to Zheng Jie's Yuan Lai Residence.

…

Half an hour later, Li Fan came to Yuanlaiju and saw Zheng Jie and Zhang Xia picking vegetables in the vegetable garden. He shouted from a distance: "Mr. Zheng, how mature are your vegetables? Don't eat enough." "

When Zheng Jie heard Li Fan's voice, she raised her head and looked at him coming over. She laughed and said, "You are envious because the vegetables in my garden grow better than those in your farm."

Li Fan laughed and said, "Mr. Zheng has good eyesight. You are very good at cooking. How about you go work in my farm? How about I give you double the salary?"

Zheng Jie stared and was about to speak when she heard Zhang Xia say: "Fanzi is here, come and sit in the room."

Li Fan hurriedly said: "Thank you Aunt Zhang,

let me help you. "

Zhang Xia said: "No, no, I'll finish picking them soon."

After Zhang Xia picked the vegetables, Li Fan helped carry the vegetable basket and entered the house with Zheng Jie and Zhang Xia. After lifting the food basket to the kitchen and putting it away, Li Fan asked again: "Aunt Zhang, do you need any help?"

Zhang Xia smiled and said: "No, I don't need your help. Just go outside and rest. Don't be polite."

"Hey!" Li Fan returned to the main room and saw Zheng Jie making tea. He chuckled and said, "Mr. Zheng's tea-making action is very professional. Have you done it in a tea shop before?"

Zheng Jie ignored him. After making the tea, she said, "What a waste of such good tea for a kid like you who doesn't understand tea!"

Li Fan chuckled. He really didn't know much about tea, and he didn't have the habit of drinking tea. I'm about to take a closer look at what Zheng Jie calls "good tea" like?

Suddenly there was a "huh" sound, and a magazine placed on the coffee table caught his attention.

It seemed to be a martial arts magazine. Li Fan took it over and saw that it was indeed a martial arts magazine: "Laughing Jianghu".

Li Fan's heart moved, and while flipping through the magazine in his hand, he asked: "Does Mr. Zheng also like to read martial arts?"

Zheng Jie looked at the magazine in Li Fan's hand and suddenly sighed softly and said, "Indeed, it's just that I haven't read it for many years."

"Huh? Why?" Li Fan asked slightly confused.

Zheng Jie suddenly smiled again and said: "It becomes boring after reading too much. It's always like this over and over again. You can guess the ending and even the process by reading the beginning. This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that the description method is pale and has no sense of picture. After reading too much, I feel that it is not as interesting as the fairy tales we wrote."

Well, Li Fan could only say that Zheng Jie's statement was very appropriate. To read current martial arts novels, it is really better to read his fairy tales or comics.

However, the majority of martial arts fans don’t think so.

Li Fan smiled and said: "I very much agree with Mr. Zheng's statement. However, martial arts are actually also fairy tales."

"Oh? Martial arts are also fairy tales?" Zheng Jie was stunned, and then looked at Li Fan with interest and asked, "How do you say that? Why are martial arts also a fairy tale?"

Li Fan smiled mysteriously and said quietly: "Martial arts is originally a fairy tale, but martial arts is a fairy tale for adults."

"This..." Zheng Jie was startled, then her eyes flashed thoughtfully.

Li Fan chuckled and did not disturb Zheng Jie. Instead, he turned the magazine in his hand to a page and started reading this short martial arts story called "The Bloody Dart".

Although the material from the escort agency makes Li Fan feel a little pained, he still has nothing to do and just take a look.

After a while, when Li Fan was getting more and more painful, he finally heard Zheng Jie sigh and said: "A martial arts is a fairy tale for adults. You kid is indeed a person with spiritual roots. It's just a pity, we Fairy tales for adults have been developing for decades, but the stories written are still the same. It took a lot of effort to create a great story, but it was written in a hurry, which makes people sigh."

Li Fan looked at Zheng Jie and said calmly: "After Liang Sheng closed the book, didn't the 'Four Mainland Martial Arts Masters' and the 'Four Hong Kong Martial Arts Masters' appear again? Their works are not good either?"

Zheng Jie glared at Li Fan and said: "Don't pretend to be there, I still don't believe you haven't seen their works. Their works are indeed eye-catching at first, but they are just a flash. The works Although the quality is higher than others, watching two more movies is also meaningless.”

Li Fan chuckled, and suddenly remembered something again, and asked: "Mr. Zheng, since you haven't read martial arts for many years, then this magazine is..."

Li Fan did not finish speaking, but raised the magazine in his hand. The publication date of this magazine was obviously the 15th of this month.

Since Zheng Jie has not read martial arts for many years, what is he doing after buying this magazine?

Zheng Jie looked at the magazine in Li Fan's hand, suddenly sighed again, and said, "I understand what you mean. I didn't buy this magazine, but an old friend of mine sent it to me. Published This magazine is owned by an old friend of mine. It has been a long-established magazine with a history of more than 20 years. The magazine "Laughing Jianghu" has also enjoyed great success, with the sales of its highest issue exceeding 15 million. Volume. By the way, you should know this magazine, right?"

Well, when Zheng Jie suddenly asked, Li Fan could only reply vaguely: "Well, I used to see it often, but I didn't expect it to be driven by your old friend."

Zheng Jie didn't notice Li Fan's slightly strange expression, nodded, and continued: "It's just a pity that in recent years, many martial arts newspapers and magazines have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. These new newspapers and magazines, Magazine, poaching authors at high prices and soliciting submissions.

In addition, my old friend is getting older and his management is becoming more and more incompetent, and all his authors have been poached. Now we have to rely on soliciting manuscripts from all over the place to maintain normal operations of the magazine, with sales of only 20,000 to 30,000 copies per issue.

In fact, my old friend can completely close or transfer the magazine. He no longer needs to rely on the magazine to make money. It's just that he couldn't let go of the feelings he had when he was working hard for the magazine, so he has been putting it off until now. However, he recently had the idea of ​​​​transferring the magazine. "

When Zheng Jie said this, she sighed again, with a look of sadness on her face.
