Chen Ru hesitated, and Wen Dongrong grabbed her hand. Chen Ru tried several times to break free but failed. Wen Dongrong took her to the study and sat her in front of the computer desk with his hands pressed on her shoulders.
Turn on the computer, log in to QQ, open the email, this series of actions is smooth and flowing, it can be seen that Wen Dongrong has been doing a lot of operations these days.
"Look."
"What are you looking at...huh?"
Chen Ru was a little surprised. "Did your manuscript pass?"
Wen Dongrong stood up straight, quite proudly: "Not bad, one article in the evening paper and one in Zhiyin. I can get the manuscript fee next month."
Chen Ru knew that Wen Dongrong was writing a manuscript. She thought it would take him a while to get any results, but she didn't expect that he would get results so soon.
Even someone as cold and hard as Chen Ru was in a good mood at this moment.
"So you were happy about this, why didn't you tell me about it during dinner?"
"I was going to say..."
Wen Dongrong felt wronged.
As a result, the older and younger people in the family thought he had won the lottery, and the younger one was arguing with him about salty fish. What should he say?
"It's not too late to tell me now."
After all, they are each other's partner, so Chen Ru has some understanding of Wen Dongrong's thoughts. The man named Wen really wants to prove his ability in front of Wen Ying.
Wen Dongrong thought about it but shook his head: "Forget it, why not wait a little longer."
What are you waiting for?
Wait for the royalties to actually be in your pocket.
Wait until he submits a few more manuscripts.
Let’s not talk about other magazines, just talk about Zhiyin. If you can get three articles submitted in a year, the manuscript fee will be instantly raised to 1,200 yuan per thousand words. For authors who submit more than three articles, the manuscript fee will be even higher.
There is an internal selection for each issue of "documentary" articles. As long as you are nominated, you will receive a reward of 10,000 yuan. If you are nominated and then participate in the annual selection, the maximum prize will be 30,000 yuan!
The editor also said that authors who can publish two "documentary" articles a year will be arranged to participate in overseas travel writing sessions organized by the magazine.
2 articles, you can go to Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand or Japan, South Korea and other countries.
If you have 3 articles, you can go to countries such as France, Switzerland and Austria.
The expenses of such overseas travel writers' conferences are fully covered by the magazine, and authors only need to bring their own luggage!
"Is the pay for contributing to magazines so good now?"
Chen Ru's talent lies in accounting and economics. She has no literary talent and usually does not pay attention to relevant information.
If the Financial Times had not published the "Writers Rich List" to expose Wen Ying's income, Chen Ru would not have known how much money Wen Ying earned, let alone understand the royalties standards of the numerous newspapers and periodicals on the market.
With Wen Ying as an example, Chen Ru realized that best-selling authors make a lot of money.
But Wen Ying's book sold more than 2 million copies, so it's reasonable for her to make money.
Now, after hearing what Dongrong meant, if he wrote a manuscript of several thousand words and submitted it to "Zhiyin", he would not only be paid a thousand yuan per thousand words, but also be nominated, have a chance to win the annual award, and travel abroad... Adding everything up, wouldn't these several thousand words bring in tens of thousands of yuan in income?
If he writes a few articles like this a year, it seems like Wen Dongrong's salary plus his side income will catch up with hers?!
Wen Dongrong broke out in a cold sweat after hearing Chen Ru's calculations. He felt like he had accidentally boasted a little too much, so he quickly hugged her back:
"Don't think it's easy just because I can get my manuscripts approved. The payment standards offered by Zhiyin are industry-leading, and the treatment of outstanding contributors is also industry-leading. There are only a handful of authors who can get a few 'documentary' submissions approved in a year!"
"Non-fiction" articles are difficult to write. They must capture social hot spots, issues of public concern, and recent major news—these are the cornerstones of writing "non-fiction." The author first captures representative news, then refines it based on the facts, ensuring that the published story is neither completely untrue nor whimsical enough to engage the reader. Only Wen Dongrong, with his many years of experience, can grasp the key to this type of documentary; most people would struggle to pull it off!
After passing one article, Wen Dongrong was confident that he could pass the second one.
Getting a nomination for the selection is not a problem, but Wen Dongrong doesn't dare to boast about winning the final grand prize.
I have to say that the previous experience of having his manuscript rejected taught Lao Wen a lesson, and he will be more restrained when bragging.
Moreover, if he didn't exaggerate the difficulty of getting the reward in front of Chen Ru, how could he show his ability?
After listening to Wen Dongrong's explanation, Chen Ru couldn't help but nod. "It sounds difficult. Then you should keep writing. When you can go abroad for a writers' meeting, tell Wen Ying. Let's see if we can take advantage of your fame and use your writing bonus to travel abroad!"
ah?
Wen Dongrong wanted to use the bonus from his writing to buy a car for Chen Ru, but now from what Chen Ru said, she wants to travel abroad even more.
That's okay too.
Because the prize money is small, Chen Ru and Wen Ying can only choose Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand.
The bonus is so large that it is no problem for the mother and daughter to go to Europe.
Thinking about it this way, getting the manuscript approved is just the beginning, and he still has a heavy task on his shoulders!
Wen Dongrong no longer wanted to be an angry pufferfish. He looked at his watch and decided to work overtime tonight to fix the few details the editor had mentioned.
Wen Dongrong wanted to get down to business, and Chen Ru was quite supportive of him. She turned around to leave the study room for Wen Dongrong alone, but then stopped at the door and asked curiously, "It's so hard to get a documentary article published for Zhiyin. What did you write for this one?"
"'The Top Scholar from a Poor Family: The Huaqing Dream Supported by the Scavenger Grandpa'." I often go back to my hometown with Shang Wei. When I heard about this story, I thought I should write about it."
It turns out that Wen Dongrong wrote about the stories around him.
A boy from a township middle school, who was supported by his grandfather who was a scavenger, won the local top spot in the imperial examination last summer and was admitted to Huaqing University.
This story was deeply processed by Wen Dongrong and it is extremely powerful. It has several elements that readers of "Zhiyin" like. No wonder it was approved in one go!
