Chapter 054: The Uselessness of Reading
Hehuai Road has been built, and half of the road is closed, and vehicles can only drive in half of the lane. Often when large trucks come, they have to occupy the sidewalk and slow down.
And the dust has been filled along the way, and the windows cannot be opened.
In the bumpy carriage, Zhang Tan, who was rarely on vacation, was so uncomfortable that he couldn't sleep at all. He could only hold this book and not read it. He didn't read it if it was bumpy, and he just looked at it if it was bumpy. This book is not a textbook, but a trial issue of "Legend of the Ancient and Ancient Martial Arts Edition" and the first issue.
As the name suggests, the trial issue number is an experimental publication. It is placed as a gift on the market to see if readers can accept it. Therefore, the length is not very large. Apart from some short articles such as the title and the call for manuscript instructions, the rest are three martial arts novels.
One is the novella "The Plum Shadow Burys the Incense" by mainland rookie Yang Que, the other is the novella "Three Swords Chasing the Soul" by Hong Kong famous writer Zhang Feifan, and the other is the first "Chasing" of "The Four Famous Catching the Kanto" created by Zhang Tan. After calibration, the full text of more than 65,000 words was published. It was originally planned to be 30,000 words, but later because of the enthusiastic response from readers, the first full text was published directly.
This is not the first time Zhang Tan has seen his novels, which have been published in a magazine.
But there was no less excitement.
Because, in addition to publishing novels, the author Zhang Tan is also introduced at the end of the article.
"Tan Zhang, whose real name is Zhang Tan, is from Changfeng County, Hefei Mayor of Anwei Province. He was born on April 24, 1986 and is currently studying in his first year of high school. He loves reading and writing in his spare time. He reads famous martial arts works in his youth. "The Four Famous Catching Guandong" is his first creative and conceived work, and he is currently conceiving the second part "Desperate".
The author introduces the following, and the editor-in-chief commented: "Tan Zhang is a potential star of martial arts in mainland China. Although he is young, his writing skills are extraordinary, not much like famous Hong Kong and Taiwan masters. His works are simple and elegant, with rigorous and tortuous details. They are easy to understand and fascinating. They are actually an unborn martial arts genius!"
This is a very high praise, but Zhang Tan accepted it without hesitation. Yes, I am just a genius who is not born.
Anyone who has more than ten years of future memories in his mind can be called a talent.
While publishing the full text, the editorial department also transferred the subsequent 30,000 words of manuscript fee to Zhang Tan's account, which was more than 6,000 yuan.
Zhang Tan submitted his manuscript three times in total.
The first time was the editorial department of the story version, with 12,000 words. Finally, I got the 100-word manuscript fee for the story version and the 200-word manuscript fee for the martial arts version, which is 300-word manuscript fee for the 100-word manuscript fee for the 100-word manuscript fee for the 100-word manuscript fee for the 100-word manuscript fee for the 100-word manuscript fee for the 100-word manuscript fee for the 100-word manuscript fee for the 100-word manuscript fee for the 100-word manuscript fee for the 100-word manuscript fee for the 100-word manuscript fee for the 100-word manuscript fee for the 100-word manuscript fee for the 100-word manuscript fee for the 100-word manuscript fee for the 100-word manuscript fee for the 100-word manuscript fee for the 100-word manuscript fee for the 100-word manuscript fee for the 100-word manuscript fee for the 100-word manuscript fee for the 100-word manuscript fee for the 100-word manuscript fee for the 100-word manuscript fee for the 100-word manuscript fee for the 100-word manuscript fee for the 100-word manuscript fee for the 100-word manuscript fee for the 100-word manuscript fee for the 100-word manuscript fee for the 100-word manuscript fee for the 100-word manuscript fee for the 100-word manuscript fee for the 100-word manuscript fee for the 100-word manuscript fee for the 100-word manuscript fee for the 100
The second time was the pressurization from the editorial department of the martial arts edition, which was 23,000 words. Since the story version is no longer published, there is only a 1,000 words and 200 manuscript fee, and the total amount is 4,305 yuan after tax deduction.
The third time was also a manuscript, with a total of 30,000 words. The total number of words in the first "Chasing" was exactly the same as two hundred words, and 4,785 yuan after tax deduction.
In other words, Zhang Tan's first "Chasing" written by "The Four Famous Catching Guandong" earned a total of 11,355 yuan in manuscript fees, and the creation time was added up to exactly one month.
"I'm also a white-collar worker with a monthly income of 10,000 yuan!"
The monthly income of 10,000 yuan in 2001 was definitely awesome.
Ordinary people, such as Zhang Tan's father, Zhang Quanshun, works in a grain station and earns only 700 or 800 yuan a month, which means that Zhang Quanshun, before he was laid off, earned more than Zhang Tan's salary a year and a bonus. At this time, the waiter who served dishes in Hefei City was at most 400 or 500 yuan a month, and Zhang Tan held a waiter for two years a month.
High-income class, absolutely high-income class.
However, this class, that is, a few people can reach it, and ordinary people do not even think of publishing novels in "The Legend of the Contemporary and Ancient". As long as they stand at the top level, their income will be indispensable. Those famous Hong Kong and Taiwan experts may have not written a novel, but the publisher threw out the manuscript fees of more than tens of thousands of dollars before they could write a novel.
Of course, it is generally difficult for writers to be productive, and it is normal to work hard for a book to be two for a year.
That is, Zhang Tan, who can think like a stream of thoughts and help his writing.
"The second part is smooth and has a lot more content than the original one. It has to be written at least 100,000 words. I have written 60,000 words at present. I sent it to the editorial department at noon and happened to be published in the first issue. There are more than 40,000 words left behind. I will strive to get it done next month. After it is done, I will have to increase the manuscript fee requirements."
If you write well, you have to get a lot of money. This is the bottom line.
...
Zhang Tan went home on vacation, and "Legend of the Ancient and Modern·Marriage Edition" was also given to readers with the launch of "Legend of the Ancient and Modern·Story Edition".
As an old reader, Zhang Shanming, an ideological and political teacher at Shuangdun Middle School, naturally bought a magazine as soon as possible and soon discovered Zhang Tan's novel on the trial issue number.
Zhang Shanming's interest in martial arts can only be said to be general. He prefers rural unofficial history, such as the top ten marshals and ten generals. However, Zhang Tan is a student of Shuangdun Middle School, so Zhang Shanming naturally needs to take a good look at the follow-up of "The Four Famous Conquering Guandong" and he read it very quickly.
After reading it, nodded unconsciously.
"As a famous scholar, I can indeed be regarded by magazines. His writing style and storytelling ability are worse than the beginning of the previous part, and he is more sophisticated in using words and sentences. He is amazing. I can't believe it. This is written by a first-year high school student."
Zhang Shanming sighed infinitely. He didn't like watching martial arts very much, but he was still attracted by this martial arts. The story is really fascinating.
Immediately, he turned his attention to the end of the article.
On the author's introduction column, Zhang Tan's name is written on the black and white words, and it is marked as a first-year high school student.
"Maybe, I, Shuangdun Middle School, will also have a martial arts master." Zhang Shanming touched his chin, "Let's go back and talk to Xiao Yu. Such a student cannot be erased by exam-oriented education, and should give him more free space for creation. Moreover, Zhang Tan dares to be stubborn with Xiao Luo, who has a loud voice, and has obviously a big temper. Don't drop out of school while making a fuss and become another Han Jingming."
Han Jingming is talented, but he dropped out of high school and published the useless theory that studying is undoubtedly a slap in the face of the entire education system, making people love and hate.
Zhang Shanming admired Han Jingming and was also very disgusted with his theory of uselessness in reading. Jade cannot be made into a weapon without being carved, and people cannot know without learning. Studying is useful at all times. However, a unique Han Jingming published the theory of uselessness in reading, and he really dropped out of school and became famous.
This directly affected many people and made many people mistakenly think that studying is useless.
As a teacher, Zhang Shanming couldn't accept it. Therefore, he was a little worried about Zhang Tan. If Zhang Tan could not accept the constraints of the school and became famous in writing novels, he would also have a useless theory of studying and dropping out of school directly. How many people would he lead to this?
"Yes, say it carefully."
After closing the trial issue number, Zhang Shanming decided to go to the principal.
Chapter completed!
