Entertainment, I really only know a little

Chapter 7: 2000 yuan per thousand words

"peanut".

This is the second work in "The Complete Collection of Chinese Prose".

The author is "Xu Dishan".

Like "The Foot of the Creeper", it is also a very classic prose.

[There is half an acre of open space in our back garden. My mother said, "It would be a pity to leave it uncultivated. You love peanuts so much, so just open it up and plant peanuts." Our siblings were very happy. We bought seeds and planted them. Ground, sowing, watering, fertilizing, and within a few months, there was a harvest.

My mother said, "Tonight we are celebrating a harvest festival. Would you like your father to come and taste our peanuts?" My mother made several kinds of food from the peanuts and ordered us to celebrate this festival in the thatched pavilion in the back garden. "]

It is also a famous article in Chinese language textbooks in previous lives.

In his previous life, Chen Yi was very familiar with this work.

but.

Even if it is very familiar, if Chen Yi were asked to write it in his own words, he would not be able to write it.

Even if it is written, it doesn't have this flavor.

thought here.

Suddenly, Chen Yi felt a little itchy.

Then he picked up the pen and wrote a prose by himself.

Yes.

I have been reading prose these days, which makes Chen Yi's hands itchy.

He has written many articles before and submitted many manuscripts.

At this time, he felt that he seemed to have made a lot of progress in writing, so he wanted to give it a try.

After half an hour.

Write a prose of about 1000 words.

Chen Yi took a look and felt good.

Much better than what was written before.

Think so.

Chen Yi discovered that this system did not seem so useless.

Of course.

Although the writing style has improved a lot, it is still far behind Xu Dishan's "Peanuts".

……

"Hello, I am Wang Jingbin, the editor of Literary Network."

At this time.

A netizen added Chen Yi’s Wechat.

Chen Yi clicked through and replied: "Hi, Teacher Wang, Teacher Xiao Xie told me."

Most editors of literary magazines are called teachers.

"Haha, Teacher Xiao Xie said that your article was well written."

"Teacher Xiao Xie praised me, so I just wrote it casually."

"Are there any big hits recently?"

"I didn't dare to call it a masterpiece, but I wrote an article."

talking.

Chen Yi sent the prose he just wrote.

Seeing the article sent by Chen Yi, Wang Jingbin seemed very interested.

To know.

Teacher Xiao Xie and Wang Jingbin are classmates.

Wang Jingbin knew the situation of Teacher Xiao Xie best.

To be praised by Mr. Xiao Xie, who they nicknamed the Bauhinia Pen at that time, this classmate's writing power is absolutely extraordinary.

But Wang Jingbin's scan made him a little surprised: "This article..."

frowned.

It’s not that this article is poorly written.

If it were submitted by an ordinary author, an article of this level would still be acceptable.

Moreover, the other party is still a sophomore in the Chinese Department.

It's already very good to have such a level.

But who is Wang Jingbin?

He has seen many articles of this level.

not to mention.

This was recommended by Teacher Xiao Xie, and he had been looking forward to it before.

result.

The higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment.

"The writing is very good. Our Literary Journal can accept this essay for 150 yuan per thousand words."

Although a little disappointed.

But after thinking about it, Wang Jingbin didn't pursue it too closely.

Teacher Xiao Xie is a teacher after all, so she understands taking care of her own students.

"Thank you, Teacher Wang."

Chen Yi nodded.

really.

I read a lot these days, which has enhanced my writing skills.

The article written in this way has reached the point of 150 words per thousand.

It's obviously much stronger than before.

But although Chen Yi was a little excited inside.

But now he is short of money.

Then he said: "Sorry, Teacher Wang, this article was written by my deskmate Li Xin, and this article was written by me."

Say it.Chen Yi sent the copied "Peanuts" to Wang Jingbin again.

"This is?"

Wang Jingbin was stunned for a moment and couldn't react, but he still looked at the "Peanuts" that Chen Yi sent him.

After a few minutes……

Wang Jingbin's eyes widened: "He is indeed a genius."

Compared to the first article.

This piece of "Peanuts" is so brilliant.

"It's so well written. No wonder Teacher Xiao Xie strongly recommended it to me. Classmate Chen Yi, we will give you 2000 yuan for this article."

"2000 yuan?"

"Yes, 2000 yuan for a thousand words."

Wang Jingbin said: "Actually, I think the price of this article is not only this, but it can be higher. However, with my current authority, I can only give a price of 2000 yuan per thousand words."

"Thank you, Teacher Wang. 2000 yuan for a thousand words is already pretty good."

"Then you agree to send this article to our literary journal?"

"agree."

Chen Yi nodded.

It’s 2000 yuan for a thousand words. Can you still disagree?
This kind of money-making speed is comparable to robbery.

No.

This is faster than grabbing.

He only copied for ten minutes just now.

I made 2000 yuan in about ten minutes

Think about it before, I only made more than 1000 yuan after a month of hard work.

Tsk tsk...Chen Yi felt that the speed at which the richest man made money was just like this.

But it's over.

Chen Yi added: "By the way, Teacher Wang, can this article written by my classmate just now also be accepted?"

"Of course, of course."

Wang Jingbin replied excitedly.

Not to mention that the prose written by classmate Chen Yi just now was not bad.

There is this "Peanuts".

Even if the prose was a piece of shit, he would still accept it.

"That's great. My classmates must be so happy."

Although 150 words per thousand is not much.

But it’s worth making an extra buck.

Say.

This is my own hard work.

Although compared with copying, this is nothing.

But no matter how few mosquitoes there are, they are still meat.

To be a man is to be content.

You can't make 2000 yuan in just ten minutes and then lose sight of 150 yuan all of a sudden.

It won’t work this way, it won’t work otherwise.

Introspection in my heart.

But the introspection is over.

Chen Yi became a little worried again.

I don't know what their standard of 2000 yuan per thousand words is.

Don't get 2000 thousand words today and 150 thousand words tomorrow, or 500 thousand words or something.

After thinking for a while, Chen Yi asked: "Teacher Wang, I have a question for you."

"Classmate Chen Yi, don't call me that by Teacher Wang. Bauhinia University is also my alma mater, so just call me senior brother."

"Senior brother, we are so destined."

"Yes, yes, your teacher Xiao Xie is still my classmate."

"Oh, that's what it is."

After getting familiar with it, Chen Yi continued to ask: "Brother, what I want to ask is, how do you set the price for the article? Do you have any specific standards?"

"This..."

Wang Jingbin said: "Actually, there is no strict standard for literature. When you ask, I can't tell you."

"Then today you gave me 2000 for a thousand words, will you give me a price of several hundred for a thousand words later?"

"It's possible."

Wang Jingbin nodded, and then smiled: "Junior brother, I know what you are thinking. Don't worry, with your writing skills, even if the article you write later does not have the price of 2000 words per thousand words, it will not be much different. What's more, I Having said that, the price of your article is definitely more than 2000 words per thousand words. If I were the editor-in-chief or editor-in-chief, I could give you more. As long as you maintain the standards of the prose "Peanuts", I can guarantee you, The price I’ll give you will definitely be no less than 2000 words per thousand words.”

"Senior brother said that, then I'm relieved. The last question, senior brother, besides submitting this article to you, can I also use this article to participate in the school's prose contest?"

"If it's a school essay contest, that's no problem. However, we can't give it to other magazines, newspapers or print media before that. Of course, if other newspapers want to print it after we publish it, that's no problem."

"Okay, I understand."

After finishing the conversation with Wang Jingbin, Chen Yi felt that he had gained a lot today.

Not only did my writing skills improve, but I also made a lot of money today.

2000 yuan for a thousand words.

Think about it, every time I write an article in the future... No, every time I copy an article, it will be 2000 yuan... Then I won’t be able to distribute it.

just.

Just as he was thinking about it, Chen Yi thought of the previous article "The Feet of the Creeper".

Although this prose is slightly weaker than "Peanuts" on a literary level, it was also a classic in its previous life.

But why did Mr. Xie give me the price of 500 words per thousand?
Eyes turned left and right.

Chen Yi scratched his scalp and murmured: "Isn't it Teacher Xiao Xie's middleman who made the difference?"
