"Because I said it." Chen Qingluo said.

If there is an arrogant hierarchy, Wang Zixu can barely keep up with General Pan Feng. But Chen Qingluo takes it for granted, her thin lips are slightly hooked and her eyes flash, full of the overlord temperament of "The only heroes in the world are Wang Zixu and Luo Ye", they are the crown princes.

An extremely arrogant person.

Cao Cao psychologically sentenced Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Liu Biao, and Liu Zhang to death when they were still alive; Chen Qingluo, sitting on the small egg-beating card table at Nantah University, could actually remotely control the "Get" song, which was the most influential in the country.

Magazine, its spirit can be compared with Cao Cao for a while.

Why? Because I said so.

It seems that there is no need to say more about who "I" is. Anyway, "I" have already said so. Because it is "I" who said it, you don't have to doubt it, just believe it.

Wang Zixu remembered that she was like this many years ago - she introduced herself to the class and said in front of the whole class: I am the best high school student in Xihe. It is not because of my high scores, but because according to the

From my visual inspection, no one can write better than me.

After saying that, she walked down from the podium and walked towards Wang Zixu without even looking at him. There are many things worth remembering in life, but this scene was the only one that Wang Zixu could not forget.

At this moment, Chen Qingluo's figure was projected into his eyes, arousing memories lurking deep in his memory. The distant figure and the figure in front of him stirred up together. Wang Zixu's emotions also boiled with enthusiasm.

Back then, Wang Zixu was still a young rookie who had shot all the Nobel Prize-winning works. That was his most arrogant period. Even then, he did not dare to submit an article to "Acquisition". But today, he suddenly believed that he could submit. Nothing.

Other reasons, just because she said it.

Everyone was shocked.

The reason why people were shocked was not because Chen Qingluo's tiger body shook and exuded a domineering aura, but because Shi Shuqiu, who was sitting at the table, did not dare to say that he could get "Get" published. They saw that Chen Qingluo's physical appearance was good and her temperament was not good.

People began to speculate about her identity, whether she was a conglomerate from the East China Sea or a little princess from the Beijing Circle.

Xiao Mengyin was more rational. She dared to speak and opened her mouth to ask: "Who are you?"

"It doesn't matter who I am. What's important is that if there is only one place in the literary world that is not the inbreeding mess that Shi Shuqiu mentioned, that place should be the editorial department of "Get". I don't judge "Get" because of who I am.

I will publish his manuscript. I am convinced that no matter who I am, whether "Get" will accept his manuscript or not will not be affected by me. That's why I said "Get" will definitely accept his manuscript. Do you understand?

"Xiao Mengyin, you just said that talented writers rarely have their manuscripts rejected. This is wrong. There are many talented writers who have their manuscripts rejected, and those writers who have never had their manuscripts rejected,

If you count up, you will either have a father who is a professor or a mother who is a literary editor. Everyone has their likes and dislikes in literature, and editors are no exception. It is easy to encounter an editor who is not suitable for your brainwaves when you submit more articles.

Having a manuscript rejected is the same for no matter how great a writer is.

"Submitting a manuscript is a process of trial and error. How can you find out what you are good at without being rejected once or twice? Unless you are extremely talented and have a thorough study of the editors' preferences of major journals and magazines, like me.

I won’t get my manuscript rejected, but how many of me are there in the world?

"Being rejected is not scary at all. What is scary is encountering those distorted and deformed systems of inbreeding. Yes, I am talking about you, Shi Shuqiu. Because "The Ancient City" was rejected, "Yangtze River" will also be rejected. This

It may not be surprising to you, but have you ever thought about it, not all authors have a father who is a writer, and domestic magazines are all such a deformed species like conjoined twins. How can ordinary authors protect themselves?

Works? How many more detours do you need to make to get proper respect for yourself?

"Literary magazines ushered in their glory 20 years ago, with a circulation of more than one million copies. What now? Aren't all magazines relying on subscriptions from government agencies and universities to survive? A circulation of 30,000 or 40,000 can be considered

Being able to make a living, some time ago I had an internet celebrity sell the goods and the circulation of one issue exceeded 100,000, and the entire magazine was celebrating.

"Yes, you people say it is because of the impact of new media on the Internet, but we are also facing impact. Why are paper publishing in neighboring Japan and South Korea doing so well? Literature has become something for a small group of people to entertain themselves, and then

It's surprising that the market hasn't shrunk since they engage in inbreeding.

"I'll leave it at that. It's not a shame that his manuscript was rejected. I have to thank them for rejecting it because its quality is enough to be published in "Get". I should thank you for polishing it. Not only does it have to be published in "Get"

"Winning" and also winning the first prize, whoever rejects the manuscript will be embarrassed, that's what I said."

After Chen Qingluo finished speaking, the scene suddenly became silent. After a while, Zhao Peilin wiped his sweat and whispered: "Damn it, it was so fun to scold!"

Shi Shuqiu was disgraced. For the first time in his life, he experienced what it means to be bloody. The woman in front of him scolded her in literature and magazines, but he felt that every word was like a knife, and the handle was stabbed into his heart.

It seems that I should be responsible for the current situation in the literary world.

Xiao Mengyin said with great difficulty: "It's hard for me to understand what you said. I am also an ordinary writer from an ordinary family. I didn't understand what you said. Oh, by the way, you may not know, I am the last one

The first prize winner of this year’s Fei Shi Literary Award, I say you can’t win the first prize.”

A joking smile appeared on Chen Qingluo's face: "I'm not the first prize winner. I am Chen Qingluo, the winner of the 7th Emerging Literature Award, the National Outstanding Short Story Award, the Lu Xun Literature Award, and the Outstanding Youth Award. I said I can win it."

.”

After saying that, she tossed her hair: "Who can't tell me the name of the dish?"

"Chen Qingluo?"

Amidst slightly shocked questions, the second buddy next to him suddenly fell from his chair to the ground.

His upper body was lying on the table, his clothes were turned up to expose his belly, like an old turtle with a frightened expression.

"Chen Qingluo?" Xiao Mengyin stood up, her tone gradually getting excited, "Are you Chen Qingluo?"

The sound of "ouch" alarmed many people in the restaurant. Chen Qingluo threw down her cards, grabbed Wang Zixu, and whispered: "Let's go quickly."

So the two of them left in a hurry, with no time to look at the mess they left behind.

Wang Zixu asked in a low voice: "Is it appropriate to just leave like this?"

"After pretending to be cool and not leaving, are you waiting to be exposed?"

Wang Zixu looked at her doubtfully: "What you said is true. You have indeed won so many awards."

Chen Qingluo bit her lip: "I'm talking about you! Do you think you can really be on "Get"?"

"Can't you?" Wang Zixu was immediately disappointed.

"Of course not. If possible, why don't I let you directly vote for "Get"?"

The prince looked like a dehydrated cucumber, his whole body wilted. Just now he thought Chen Qingluo was serious, and he was still cheering for a long time.

Chen Qingluo cleared her throat: "You can't do it now, but if you start from now on and revise the novel from beginning to end within a month, maybe you can."

"Is that so?"

The prince's expression suddenly became serious.

It sounds impossible to complete the changes within a month. But from a certain point of view, it is exactly what he wants. There is a self-destructive part in Wang Zixu's character, and perhaps Chen Qingluo's request caters to this part.

But he had long wanted to improve that piece of work. Rather, it would be a pity even if he didn't improve it, even if he passed the draft. If he changed it well, he would be satisfied even if he didn't pass the draft. This is such a simple and naive idea.

.

Wang Zixu suddenly asked: "By the way, did you know that I would be rejected by "Yangtze River" before? Is the unspoken rule Shi Shuqiu mentioned true?"

He recalled that when Chen Qingluo encouraged him to vote for "Yangtze River" earlier, she and Ning Chunyan were sneaking around. They only urged him to vote quickly, but when asked why, they kept it secret. He also recalled the "custom" mentioned by Shi Shuqiu,

Wang Zixu speculated that the two veterans probably knew the rules of this industry very well and had already anticipated the current situation.

Chen Qingluo's face fell: "I wasn't sure before. If I knew I couldn't vote, why would I let you vote?

"There are such unspoken rules in the industry, but the more unspoken rule now is that you will never reveal whose submissions you have rejected, especially those from famous people."

After a pause, she added: "Do you know about Lu Yao and "The Ordinary World"?"

"I know, the manuscript was rejected." Wang Zi nodded weakly.

"Do you know who rejected the manuscript?"

Wang Zixu shook his head. He only knew that the road to becoming a god in "The Ordinary World" was very difficult, but he didn't know exactly how many times the manuscript had been rejected and by whom.

Chen Qingluo said: "Many people think that "The Ordinary World" is Lu Yao's first famous work. In fact, it is not. Lu Yao had written "Life" before that and was already a famous figure in the literary world. He was a writer in their local area at the time.

Vice Chairman, and Jia Pingwa each hold up half of the sky. He is not a poor little writer in the public image, he is a hot and big writer."

This was indeed something Wang Zixu didn't know. He opened his eyes wide: "Then he will also be rejected?"

"Yes," Chen Qingluo nodded seriously, "At that time, "Modern" magazine sent a young intern editor to them to compile articles. Authors of Lu Yao's level should not be accessible to him.

"Manuscripts from well-known authors will never be handed over to magazines easily. They will call the magazine directly to inquire whether they are interested. They will hand over the manuscript only after confirming their interest.

"The intern editor is a son of a miner. Lu Yao may have taken a fancy to the intern editor's background and thought that he would definitely appreciate his work, so he gave the manuscript to him. As a result, the intern editor didn't even finish reading it.

The manuscript was rejected.

"It stands to reason that an author of Lu Yao's level and an intern are not worthy of rejecting the manuscript, but even if he rejected it, Lu Yao also accepted it, and so did the magazine. This incident was a huge blow to Lu Yao, and later he started to reject it.

At the literary review meeting, the critics had a lot of harsh words about this book. As a result, Lu Yao's popularity plummeted.

"Later, none of his three "Ordinary Worlds" were published in full. It was CCTV that discovered this book and after it was broadcast, it became a hit and later won the Mao Dun Literature Award.

"The sales volume of "The Ordinary World" is at the same level as "Alive". It is conceivable that if it were not accidentally discovered and accidentally broadcast by a radio station, this book would most likely never see the light of day.

""The Ordinary World" has returned to its rightful place, but Lu Yao himself has not. He was always poor and strapped during his lifetime, and had to spend money on medical treatment. After winning the Mao Dun Literature Award, it was difficult to even pay for the award.

When you come out, you should ask someone to borrow it."

Chen Qingluo looked at Wang Zixu: "The matter of his rejection made a lot of noise, and people will talk about it to this day. Before Lu Yao won the award, people praised the intern editor for his sharp eyes and courage to challenge authority; after Lu Yao won the award,

, everyone laughs at the magazine for being ignorant."

Wang Zixu was silent for a long time.

Chen Qingluo seemed to want to offend him, but she didn't say the key words. Wang Zixu had no time to think about it at this time.

"So, if the manuscript is rejected publicly, it means that the magazine and the writer are on opposite sides. The success of one party means the failure of the other party, and vice versa," Wang Zixu said. "So they don't reject the manuscript publicly?"

"Yeah. That's one reason." Chen Qingluo nodded and suddenly smiled, "You are quite smart."
