11: Don't wait for me

Lao Cui touched his pocket and took out a cigarette. Reviewing the draft and smoking has become his character for many years, and tobacco tea has become the standard in this industry.

The reason why Zhiyin Magazine has become popular all the way is nothing more than that it captures the curiosity and voyeurism of the masses.

How to select such manuscripts from many manuscripts is also a technical task. If Qin He submits manuscripts to readers' magazines and submits them to Zhiyin Magazine, then the manuscript will be rejected because the style changes do not match.

Qin He knew very well about the style that Zhiyin Magazine wanted, so he carefully wrote more than a dozen articles that definitely made the editors' eyes shine.

In fact, Qin He is even more skillful when writing articles in Zhiyin style, because as long as he recalls Zhihu stories that like thousands or tens of thousands of yuan, and then replaces the characters in it, it seems real or false, and true or false. If he doesn't investigate, he will definitely not be able to see it.

Moreover, those bloody stories from Zhihu that have liked more than 10,000 are not comparable to those of Zhiyin style.

Although Zhiyin's style is obvious and there are a lot of manuscripts submitted in each issue, it is indeed not easy to select suitable manuscripts from it, because people in this era still do not have enough imagination.

Many readers who read the stories of medieval people want to submit their bloody stories. Although these stories are also stories such as grudges, love, murder, etc., and even real stories.

However, most of the people who contributed the article simply described the matter and submitted it. The editor took a look at the result.

The title is, I know a murder case, the content is: A murder case occurred in my community in a certain month. I heard that it was a love case, the couple fought, and the husband was wrong and his wife died.

It’s just a few hundred words to finish the matter. How could such manuscripts be seen by editors?

An experienced submission work should be: A highly educated doctor was arrested for having an affair, and was furious and killed his 18-year-old wife!

As for the content, we naturally have to describe the various psychological reactions of our husband and wife clearly, which is obvious, shocking, angry and sad.

This will attract the melon-eating crowd.

Lao Cui smoked a cigarette expressionlessly and looked at the letters.

I was in a bad mood today, and the content of the manuscript was even more shit. Many manuscripts like elementary school students made Lao Cui’s toothache.

The cigarettes in Lao Cui's cigarette box gradually decreased. I don't know how long it took, Lao Cui suddenly sat upright and finally a submission appeared in front of him that made him a little interested.

The first article attracted him.

The protagonist is a criminal investigation policeman who has personally experienced a case. The characters include bosses, female stars, female wealthy people, bloody cases, cheating and revenge, all the grudges, love and revenge, which are actually included in this article.

Even at the end of the article, there was a follow-up, leaving suspense, because in this case, the murderer finally committed suicide in prison, leaving a name behind.

This name is a character that appeared since the beginning of the article. This character appeared as a good person from the beginning, and from the beginning to the end, it has nothing to do with the case.

At the end, the murderer left his name as if it was a fog that made people unable to stop, because many self-righteous and smart people read this article carefully and found that although this good person has nothing to do with the case, many key figures in the case have unclear relationships with this good person, and there is even a clue that was drawn out because of the appearance of this person.

The suspense atmosphere at the end adds a touch of revelation to this ordinary grudge and revenge, while the description of the criminal investigation police adds a touch of truth.

Lao Cui read this article twice and always felt itchy, and he had the illusion of finding out what the truth is.

Like Xiao Han, Lao Cui was eventually attracted by another story because there were three single stories in this submission letter.

Perhaps because of the high cost of Zhiyin, Qin He wrote Zhiyin's submissions and the article length was a little longer, but the details inside were more touching and real, which was definitely one level higher than the story of Zhiyin's editor's writing.

In fact, the reason why Qin He left a suspense was because the story on Zhihu was too long, so he had no choice but to take the essence, plus the stars, bosses, and characters that Zhiyin needed, and he made a story by himself. Of course, they were all pseudonyms. Do they know if there is a name in reality.

As for the name left by the murderer who committed suicide in prison in the end, what does it mean?

Anyway, Qin He felt that the good man was uncomfortable, so he deliberately left his name. Who cares about that much!

The answers that can like more than 10,000 likes on Zhihu must have attractive content, let alone the kind of curious question and answer.

Lao Cui did not continue to read other submissions throughout the morning. He carefully read these three articles several times, and each story made him love it and he was deeply lingering.

The first combination of Zhihu style and Zhiyin style made this magazine editor in the 1990s seem to have opened the door to a new world. It turns out that articles can be written like this!

As for the submission of the Story Club, Qin He gave the style, it is basically an article that conforms to the style of the Story Club magazine in this era. As for whether it will be favored by the editor like the readers' Zhiyin Magazine, it is unknown.

However, Qin He has submitted ten articles to each of their magazines. He believes that there will always be a keen editor to pick up his pearl.

In order to get the royalties as soon as possible, Qin He also left his address, name, ID number, and contact information for all remittances in each letter. He also wrote a short story to express that he really needed the royalties as soon as possible.

In order to get the royalties as soon as possible, Qin He made a fictional story, which is that he has been gifted since childhood, and has become a self-taught person. He loves to listen to stories. He has been through all over the years and is a prodigal son. But this time when he returned to his hometown, he found that his father was seriously ill and he had not saved money for years. He urgently needed some money to treat his parents. So he wrote the experiences he heard over the years into a story and contributed it. Time is life!

If Qin He had written these stories in later generations, it would be easy to find out. However, in this era, it would be very troublesome to investigate, and it would not take the time for the magazine to investigate. It is normal for a good article to pay for manuscripts. It is just that the family needs money and it is urgent.

The reason why Qin He has to pay so urgently is that the tuition and living expenses of several children is the problem of tuition and living expenses. Another thing is that he is very anxious. According to the nature of this era, the articles published this month may be the submissions selected in the previous few months. It is already thankful that the author gets the royalties in three or five months, and it is not surprising that half a year is a year.

Moreover, I had only been in less than three years, and I broke my legs at the beginning. I still had four children at home. I had no money and had no legs and couldn't get out at all. In this case, I can only hope that the magazine manuscript fee will arrive soon.

With the royalties, I will first solve the worries of several children, and then think about writing a work that will allow Lin Yiqing to fulfill the last wishes of a great writer. Time waits for no one.

As for what work to write, after these days of analysis and research, Qin He already has plans in mind.

Time is tight, time is not waiting for me!
Chapter completed!
