Perhaps it was because Liu Miao still didn't follow his advice and played with Zhang Yao, so Liu Yan and Liu Miao began to fall into a cold war.Although the two would still run together in the morning, one went counterclockwise and the other went clockwise, which made Li Xin not sure which camp to join; although they still walked together in class, Li Xin was definitely caught in the middle as a messenger.

Although Liu Miao himself felt that this was a bit naive, but the cheap brother who couldn't bear it was really "too narrow-minded", so he had to pretend that the two were in a cold war.However, because the two are in a cold war, Liu Yan's nagging is less in Liu Miao's ears. In addition, Liu's father is making the final effort to acquire Baoqing Department Store, so Liu Miao still has more time for himself. .So after more than two weeks, Liu Miao finally completed a 30-word "Love Letter".Although Liu Miao's version of "Love Letter" deleted a lot of chatter in Japanese novels, it also added a lot of plots to suit the tastes of Chinese readers.

After finishing the novel, Liu Miao began to look for magazines to contribute to.According to the regulations of this time and space, it is absolutely not allowed to submit more than one manuscript, but if the notification is not accepted within two weeks of submission, the author can submit elsewhere.Moreover, this time and space stipulates that the magazine has only six months of exclusive publishing rights. After six months, the author can still resubmit the old manuscript to other magazines.Especially after six months, the magazine must sign a contract with the author and pay the author's remuneration if they want to assemble and publish or make a collection.Moreover, there are very strict regulations on reprinting. Without the consent of the original author, the magazine cannot reprint articles from other magazines at will.

With so many regulations in favor of authors, the writing industry in this era is extremely developed.However, most popular magazines belong to Kunlun International Publishing Group in Yanjing or Yangzijiang Media Co., Ltd. in Dongfang City, and a few magazines with a relatively strong basic commercial atmosphere belong to Huadu Culture Communication Company in Nanhua City.From the classification of novels, "Love Letter" belongs to love novels, and the top domestic romance novel magazines are "Rose" from Kunlun, "Red Bean" from Yangzijiang, and "Rose" from Huadu.

These three love magazines have their own characteristics. "Rose" takes the route of new love novels, targeting white-collar women; "Rose" is relatively avant-garde, and it is mainly aimed at young women who are literary in middle schools and universities. "Red Bean" is considered to be the number one circulation of love story magazines in China, but Liu Miao's "Love Letter" is definitely not suitable for it; Since the release of the Four Great Empresses of New Romance in China, the manuscripts of newcomers are rarely used. It is either the novels of the Four Great Empresses or the contributions of long-established domestic writers.On the contrary, "Rose" has always been very tolerant to the manuscripts of newcomers, and they have also bought copyrights from Japan, translated and published some Japanese romance novels, and the response is said to be pretty good.

After comparison, Liu Miao decided to contribute "Rose". First, he drew up the word count and plot outline of the novel, then prepared the first [-] words of content, and finally attached his contact information and pen name.Originally, Liu Miao really wanted to spoof and give herself a pen name Annie Baby, but it was a pity that she felt that she was panicking, so she changed it to the name of a martial arts character she liked very much——Ximen Chuixue.Of course, if Liu Miao's favorite in the Lu Xiaofeng series is Ye Gucheng, it's a pity that Ye Gucheng's ending is so embarrassing, so Liu Miao still changed to Ximen Chuuxue, his second favorite.Now because there is no courier company, and even the EMS service has not yet covered the whole country, so Liu Miao can only choose the form of registered mail to complete his first submission.

After the "Love Letter" was delivered, Liu Miao's life became simpler. Every day was to consolidate the homework she had left behind in the first and second grades of junior high school, then to have special training in three foreign languages, and finally to occasionally care about Liu's father's acquisition business.Soon the days of the cram school will come to an end, Guangming Middle School decided to end the cram school a week before the start of school.On the one hand, it is to give the children a rest time, and on the other hand, it also allows everyone to have time for surprise training in foreign languages ​​so that they can participate in the foreign language proficiency test for junior high school students in the second week after school starts.

However, when Teacher Hao announced the good news, he suddenly added another sentence, "The school decided to conduct a test in the last two days of the cram school, and the test paper we used this time was the test paper of Hongling Middle School in Jiangbei Province. Everyone knows Hongling Middle School is one of the top three demonstration middle schools in the country, this is their selection for admissions examinations over the years, I hope everyone will treat it with certification!"

Although the news was sudden, but fortunately there are still nearly two weeks before the preliminary exam, and there is still a lot to be done if everyone works hard. Suddenly, the somewhat slack study atmosphere suddenly became tense.Even Zhang Yao, who has been busy building a good relationship with his classmates recently, reads the book obediently. After all, Hongling Middle School's test paper is half a grade higher than that of the four famous schools in the province. It is known as a model student in Tanzhou. Zhang Yao didn't dare to push him too hard.

Originally, Liu Miao thought that Zhang Yao's running for monitor was just talk, but he didn't expect him to put it into practice.First of all, being handsome and having a good family background gave Zhang Yao a lot of points with the girls, and even Longyuan, the female school bully who served as the study committee member, was interested in him; secondly, Zhang Yao brought a lot of toys and Snacks also won the favor of many boys. After all, Zhang Yao is good at basketball, football and table tennis, and he is much more active than Liu Yan.Liu Miao couldn't help but look at Liu Yan who was "cold war" with her, thinking that this time he was coming so aggressively, maybe they would really take down Liu Yan in one fell swoop.

Of course, Liu Yan is not incapable of fighting.His grades still impressed the whole class, so as long as Liu Yan was still No. 1 in the school in the test, it would be almost impossible for Zhang Yao to overthrow Liu Yan.It's a pity that Zhang Yao is also a top student, and he really doesn't know who will win the first place in the school this time.It's a pity that Liu Yan really doesn't know how to "improve the relationship with the masses", otherwise Zhang Yao might not even have the chance to run for class president.In this regard, Liu Miao could only sigh and read the book on his own.

For the time being, I will not mention the continuous undercurrents in Class [-] of Guangming Middle School, but I will talk about the reaction of Zhuo Ran, the editor of "Rose" magazine, after receiving "Love Letter".As the country's first-line romance magazine, "Rose" naturally has countless submissions every day, so each editor has several assistant editors to help filter and classify the manuscripts.Some submissions with insufficient word count, subject matter inconsistent with "Rose", or whose writing style is completely unbearable will be sent to the shredder by the assistant editor.However, the assistant editors will give each submission a grade according to their own impressions. Grade C naturally meets the needs of the magazine, but it may only be suitable for "Rose" to publish when there is a shortage of manuscript sources; Grade B is naturally beyond the magazine's requirements. Standards, it can be considered for publication in the near future; while Category A manuscripts are strongly recommended by assistant editors, the suggestion is to sign the contract as soon as possible and publish as soon as possible.

In front of Zhuo Ran's eyes was the manuscript of "Love Letter", and on the upper right of the paper were the signatures of "Jia" and assistant editor Anya.Zhuo Ran knew that Anya was considered a senior assistant editor in "Rose", and the editor-in-chief planned to promote her to be a junior editor at the end of the year, so Zhuo Ran still had confidence in Anya's taste.What's more, Anya has been in "Rose" for two years, and the last time she gave a "A" evaluation was because of Hua Ping's contribution.And that time, Hua Ping became the most popular newcomer that year with her debut novel "The Girl Who Can't Cry", and "Rose" once forced "Rose" to poach Hua Ping at a high price.

Zhuo Ran began to read "Love Letter" carefully, and the length of [-] words gave Zhuo Ran a preliminary impression of this novel.The writing style of this author named Ximen Chuuxue is somewhat similar to that of Hua Ping, they both follow the Japanese style of small and fresh, but Hua Ping's writing style is more delicate, but Ximen Chuuxue's plot is more sophisticated, especially a few coincidences make the whole novel The layout has improved a lot.More importantly, Hua Ping's writing is too emotional, so the reader's emotions can only float on the surface of the writing.Such novels may be harmful to young girls, but they have little effect on experienced royal sisters and housewives.But Ximen Chuuxue's words seemed plain, but under the calm lake surface was a bottomless sadness.

Even Zhuo Ran, who has read countless articles, will be led by this novel emotionally, one can imagine the author's control.Zhuo Ran stood up, took the manuscript and knocked on the door of the editor-in-chief's office.Zhuo Ran is very clear that if he misses it, he will not only miss a future popular newcomer, but also very likely miss the debut of a super god.

The editor-in-chief of "Rose" is a middle-aged man named Jin Ruilin. It is hard for ordinary people to imagine that the editor-in-chief of a love magazine that mainly caters to campus women is actually a middle-aged man.But it happened that this middle-aged man managed "Rose", which was almost bankrupt five years ago, into the third-ranked love story magazine in the country.Moreover, it was he who boldly introduced Japanese romance novels into the domestic market, so that "Rose" and "Red Bean" had to stay away, and then united to do their best to kill him.In particular, the annual collection of "Rose" and the subsequent spring special issues, autumn special issues and summer selections have turned "Rose" magazine into a profit. Sweet pastry of love.

Jin Ruilin read the manuscript for 10 minutes, and then said, "Sign him as soon as possible, and the remuneration can be comparable to that of first-line authors. You can even promise him that we will not only publish his novels, but also publish his novels and distribute them nationwide. .”

"Then are we the one who signed him, or his book?" Zhuo Ran asked.The so-called signer is actually an exclusive contract, which means that the author is not allowed to provide manuscripts for other similar magazines within the contract period; book signing is a regular contract.

"The main thing is to sign the book, and strive for someone who can sign it." Jin Ruilin closed his eyes and thought for a while, "No, sign it! Tell him that if he is willing to sign an exclusive contract with us, we can pay the top-level manuscript fee for this novel, and at the same time, he will We give priority to publishing novels by him. And the main novels of this autumn special issue can use his new novels, as long as his new novels meet our standards."

"I understand what the editor-in-chief means." Zhuo Ran also thought that such a future master should be firmly in his hands, otherwise it would be a joke in the industry if something like Hua Ping happened again.Back in his seat, Zhuo Ran picked up the contact information in the envelope and called Liu Miao.It's just that Liu Miao hadn't returned home at this time, and the person who answered the phone happened to be Liu's mother who was resting at home.After learning that her son's novel had been published, Mother Liu couldn't help but reveal some of Liu Miao's personal information to Zhuo Ran.To Zhuo Ran's surprise, this mature novel was actually written by a third-year junior high school student!
