While the boys and girls were competing with the fish, the lights were still on in the first grade office in the quiet No. 4 Middle School.
Zhuang Da was talking to a man with a smile on his face.
The other party was Editor Zhang of "Youth Writings". He came to Jiangcheng specifically to find Jiang Shi.
But before that, he still had to say hello to the instructor, so there was such a scene.
"Teacher Zhuang, I didn't expect you to have such a deep understanding of student education."
"Haha, I have always advocated that students' strengths should be brought into play. The same is true for writing. There must be your own thoughts in the text..."
The beginning was naturally a commercial boast.
Editor Zhang also got straight to the point and explained his purpose.
"Recently, our "Youth Writings" is planning a collection of works, and I hope to receive submissions from classmate Jiang."
Zhuang Da was stunned, with a surprised expression.
He knew that "Youth Writings" was a journal in China that focused on young authors.
Many famous writers have also emerged from their hands.
The most representative example is He Feng. This talented young man became famous overnight for his poem, which was widely praised.
The first to dig out this rough gem was "Youth Writing".
It is rare to see someone come to the door and ask for manuscripts by name.
After all, it is a well-known journal in the industry. It is strange that they suddenly pay so much attention to a high school student author. He can't help but think more.
But it is a good thing after all. If the student is famous, he can also benefit from it.
Originally, Zhuang Da had given up further progress in his teaching career at an old age, but the appearance of Jiang Shi made him see the light again.
Editor Zhang only listened to the assignment from above, and he also had some doubts in his heart.
But as a worker, as long as he completes his work tasks, he doesn't need to think too much about other things.
After thinking for a while, although Zhuang Da wanted to accept it directly for Jiang Shi, he still held back.
"I need to ask the students what they think."
"Excuse me, Mr. Zhuang."
...
After Editor Zhang left, several young men and women in different clothes walked in from the door.
"Mr. Zhuang, long time no see!"
"Hello, Mr. Zhuang!"
"This is the health tea we bought for you. Drink more to strengthen your body."
Zhuang Da smiled and said, "Why did you come to see me? At my age, why should I keep fit?"
"You can't say that. If you don't have the strength, how can you manage our juniors?" A boy laughed and retorted.
"You were the most mischievous in school back then." Zhuang Da laughed and scolded.
These people are Zhuang Da's former students. They are all studying at Jinling University. They took the opportunity of the weekend to return to their alma mater to visit their teachers.
"Who is that person who just left? It doesn't look like a teacher, does it?"
"It's the editor of Juvenile Writing. Look, one of your junior sisters won the first prize in the city-level essay competition, and came here to ask for an article."
Among the few people, there are also many who choose liberal arts, knowing the value of essay competitions.
"That is indeed a very powerful junior sister. When there is a chance, let us meet her?"
"This is the first time that someone in No. 4 Middle School has won the first prize. It's not easy."
Everyone chatted and occasionally talked about their college life. The atmosphere was happy.
"The school anniversary will be held in a while. Can we come back to see it then?"
One of the students asked Lao Zhuang.
"Of course, you are excellent graduates after all." Zhuang Da nodded, and now seeing these students walking out of his hands, he is still very proud.
"Oh, what a pity, I have classes that day and can't leave."
"It's okay, I'll help you look."
"..."
...
Beijing, "Story" editorial department
"Have you calculated the sales of this long special issue?"
"It's all here, Editor-in-Chief Xiang."
Xiang Yuan took a deep breath and opened the folder in his hand.
As his eyes slowly moved downward, a smile appeared on his face.
After a while, the editors outside heard a burst of hearty laughter from the editor-in-chief's office.
"Hahaha, good!"
The sales of the long special issue of "Story" exceeded 1 million nationwide in the first week. As the first issue, this is already a huge success.
If this momentum can be maintained, the monthly sales may exceed 4 million!
Since entering the Internet age, the sales of magazines have been declining year by year. The highest sales record of "Story" was set before the millennium.
After that, it has been declining all the way. Now they have regained their foothold with the long special issue.
"How is the social feedback?"How about it?"
"The first "Lamb" is very popular, and there are many discussions on the Internet. Many readers have written to say that they want to see the new issue as soon as possible."
"There is also news from Mr. Zhong that Director He Gaoyang intends to remake "Lamb" into a movie." Shi Qinglan continued.
"Are you talking about Mr. He who filmed "Millennium Calendar" and won the Huaying Annual Award?" Xiang Yuan raised his head in surprise, with a shocked look.
Shi Qinglan nodded. This was also the news revealed to her by Mr. Zhong.
Xiang Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Don't publicize this matter for now. After all, it has not been decided yet. As for Jiang Lai, if it is difficult to sign the contract, I will not force it, but I must show my greatest sincerity!"
"Sign the contract for exclusive distribution rights in the future. "Xiang Yuan added.
There are many types of copyright contracts for journals, among which the exclusive right of distribution is the most relaxed one for authors.
It is equivalent to the journal only having the right to distribute the article, while the exclusive right prohibits the author from publishing in other publications.
The copyright and adaptation rights of the work are retained by the author.
This is often a preferential treatment given by the journal to some great writers. After all, they don't need a magazine like yours, and there are many people who want the works in their hands.
As for Jiang Lai, Xiang Yuan is more interested in the potential of this newcomer. Such a person is worthy of the investment of "Story".
After leaving the editor-in-chief's office, Shi Qinglan returned to her workstation.
"Congratulations, Editor Shi, you are now a great contributor to our editorial department."
"Hey, I told the editor-in-chief that I would treat everyone to dinner to celebrate the first week of sales!"
Editor-in-chief Deng patted Shi Qinglan on the shoulder and smiled and said, "We are lucky. We bet on the right person. "
Shi Qinglan looked at a cardboard box at her feet, which was filled with readers' letters to the editorial department, and many of them were asking about "Lamb" and Jiang Lai.
Thinking of the girl with a smile like a flower, she hesitated again.
Mr. Zhong's words appeared in her ears.
"People should write what kind of texts they are at their age."
When you really step into this industry, you will face huge competition, and there are also various competitions for fame and fortune.
If Jiang Shi knew what Sister Qinglan was thinking, he would definitely pat his chest and say, "That's it, let me walk my own way with my strength! "
But now, Jiang Shi is still worried about how to beat the team of Shao Fu and Xue Yuanyin on the opposite side.
The other side is like a cheat, and they can catch fish in a short time.
On the other hand, there is a beautiful woman on his side, but these fish just don't swim to this side.
Where is the promised protection period for novices?
If only Coal Ball was there, Jiang Shi could command the little guy to eat all their fish!
In the end, Shao Fu and his team won with 14 fish, while Jiang Shi and Bai Jingran came in last with five.
Xue Yuanyin held the fishing rod and pretended to be an expert.
"Alas, this is the strength of a fisherman!"
Looking at these small fish caught, Jiang Shi decided to show off his skills again and make a fried dried fish.
