Chapter 1817 The days of the Confucian scholars in Sungkyunkwan
In January this year, "j-young Literature" began to carry Gu Hye Sun's novel "tango". By March, the novel was serialized. And under the arrangement of Kim Jong-sung, the physical book of this novel was published on March 1, with very good sales.
The serialization of the novel "tango" not only made Gu Hye-sun gain many fans and some fame, but also made "j-young Literature" more popular. Editor-in-chief Yao Yihan tasted the sweetness and decided to make the "long-term serialization" section normalized in the future.
The previous issue of "j-young Literature and Art" just ended its serialization novel "tango". The new issue of "j-young Literature and Art" released today has begun to serialize a new novel. It is this new novel serialized, which made Jin Jingcheng suddenly get a surprise at this time and his eyes suddenly lit up.
The novel is called "The Days of Confucian Scholars in Chengjiguan". The author is Zheng Enque. He is a not-famous female writer. According to the introduction, Zheng Enque only published a novel "Her Blind Date Report" in 2004, and the sales volume was not good.
However, Jin Jingcheng knew that Zheng Enque would gain a reputation in the future!
In his previous life, Zheng Enque published "The Days of Confucian Scholars in Sungkyung Hall" in 2007. This novel quickly became popular and ranked first in the list of bestsellers in many Korean bookstores. It was selected by readers as the most interesting novel. The sequel "The Days of the Ministers of Kuizhangge" published in 2009 also quickly jumped to the list of bestsellers. The total sales of the two novels reached one million copies and were translated into multilingual versions, setting off a whirlwind in other countries.
In 2010, the novels "The Days of Confucian Scholars in Sungkyung" and "The Days of the Ministers in Kyu-chan Pavilion" were adapted into the TV series "The Sungkyung Kong Scandal", which received enthusiastic responses among young audiences and achieved great success at major awards ceremonies in South Korea. The drama set a record for KBS TV's overseas exports in 2010.
In 2012, Jung Eun-que published the novel "The Moon Embracing the Sun", which is an exaggerated historical romance novel. It takes the Joseon era as the background and describes the tragic love between the King of Joseon and his witch. After publication, it quickly topped the list and became the No. 1 Korean literary bestseller in 2012.
In the same year, "The Moon Embracing the Sun" was adapted into a TV series, starring Han Jiaren and Kim Soo-hyun. The ratings were so popular. It became a Korean national TV series, won many awards, became Han Jiaren's most important masterpiece, and made Kim Soo-hyun popular and became the youngest Korean TV series in ten years.
In his previous life, Kim Jingcheng naturally watched the TV series "The Moon Embracing the Sun" starring Han Jiaren. Out of his love for this TV series, he also specially bought a Chinese version of the novel "The Moon Embracing the Sun". After reading the novel, he couldn't help but admire Zheng Eun-que.
Jin Jingcheng felt that Zheng Enque, a female writer, could not only write the best-selling good stories, but also had solid literary skills. "The Moon Embracing the Sun" even appeared in "The Moon of Ancient Chinese Poets", which is a novel that combines literature and business well.
Now the novel "The Days of Confucian Scholars in Sungkyunkwan" has been serialized in "j-young Literature", which naturally surprised Kim Jingcheng.
Kim Jingcheng didn't have the time and energy to inquire about the selection of the magazine "j-young Literature". Kim Jingcheng thought that "The Days of Confucian Scholars in Sungkyung" should have been selected and published by Yao Yihan from many submissions, which made Kim Jingcheng admire Yao Yihan.
Jin Jingcheng praised Yao Yihan's vision of selecting manuscripts. This girl used to be very literary and artistic, but now she still has some literary and artistic vision, so she selected the novel "The Days of Confucian Scholars in Sung Kyoto" to serialize.
Jin Jingcheng thought about it for a moment and then called Yao Yihan's cell phone.
"Oh, President Oppa, you actually called me?" Yao Yihan was a little surprised and a little surprised. She almost always took the initiative to find Jin Jingcheng, and Jin Jingcheng rarely took the initiative to find her.
Kim Jingcheng praised him sincerely: "I just read the latest issue of "j-young Literature and Art" magazine. The latest serialized novel "The Days of Confucian Scholars in Sungkyung-kung-kung-kung-kung-kung-kung-kung-kung-kung-kung-kung-kung-kung-kung-kung-kung-kung-kung-kung-kung-kung-kung-kung-kung-kung-kung-kung-kung-kung-kung-kung-kung-kung-kung-kung-kung-kung-kung-kung-kung-kung-kung-kung-kung-kung-kung-kung-kung-kung-kung-kung-kung-kung-kung-kung-kung-kung-kung-kung-kung-kung-kung-kung-kung-kung-kung-kung-k
"Oh Mo, President Oppa, are you praising me?" Yao Yihan was a little surprised and surprised. Jin Jingcheng rarely praised her on weekdays.
Jin Jingcheng immediately said in an orderly tone: "I am very optimistic about the female writer Zheng Eun-que. You can find a way to sign her into j-young fashion and culture company."
"Ah?" Yao Yihan didn't react for a moment.
Jin Jingcheng repeated: "I asked you to find a way to sign writer Zheng Enque to j-young fashion and culture company, right away, do you understand?"
Yao Yihan said "Oh", this matter was just a small matter for her, and the big thing was to take the opportunity to get close to Jin Jing.
However, Yao Yihan was about to say more to Jin Jingcheng, and a busy voice sounded from her phone, which made her complain depressedly: "What's the matter? It's rare to call me once, and just say a few words and then hang up." After complaining, she immediately called one of her assistants and asked her to contact Zheng Enque to discuss the signing of the contract. She dared not ignore Jin Jingcheng's order.
After hanging up the phone, Kim Jong-sung recalled Kong Zhiyong, a female writer who had just signed into j-young fashion and culture company. Kong Zhiyong is a traditional literary writer and Zheng Enque is a commercial novel writer. The sign-in between the two means that j-young fashion and culture company has accelerated the pace of occupying the Korean literary circle.
Jin Jingcheng took a sip of the tea that Qiu So-yeon had made for him before and continued to look at the "j-young Literature" on the table.
In addition to serializing the novel "The Days of Confucian Scholars in Sungkyung", this issue of "j-young Literature" also published a poem by Kim Jong-sung, which is "The Most Beautiful Lies of Ancient Times". However, compared with "The Days of Confucian Scholars in Sungkyung", Kim Jong-sung felt that his poem was no longer worth mentioning.
In addition, this issue of "j-young Literature" Feng San (the inner page on the back cover of the magazine) also published a call for manuscript "j-young Literature".
"j-young Literature" is a large-scale pure literature magazine funded by Jin Jingcheng and edited by Kong Zhiyong, which is designated as a monthly magazine. It will be published and distributed on the 1st of every month. In another month, the first issue will be published on May 1st.
The call for manuscript reads: "j-young Literature" publishes various forms of pure literary works, including novels, novellas, short stories, prose essays, film scripts, reportage, poetry, etc., adheres to a pure literary standpoint, has a simple and elegant style, faces reality, and innovates.
The call for manuscript also stated that the high standard of manuscript fees was much higher than that of some other Korean pure literature magazines. Korean pure literature newspapers and magazines have difficulty in survival, sales are very small, and the manuscript fees given to writers are very low. This situation in China is even more serious. The manuscript fees for publishing literary works in Chinese pure literature newspapers and magazines are terrible, especially prose poetry. A 2,000-word prose is usually only about one hundred yuan, a high of only two or three hundred yuan, a poem is usually only about ten yuan, and a high of only twenty or thirty yuan. Moreover, many newspapers and magazines do not publish their own fees or maliciously embezzle manuscript fees.
