Chapter 434 Fraud of manuscript fees
In Ma Yuan in England, he finally unsealed Jiang Yang's new book.
Jiang Yang's new science fiction book.
This book has not been published abroad, but there is news of its publication. After "84 Charing Cross Road", "The Little Prince" and the Poirot series, Jiang Yang's books are very popular, and he has accumulated a lot of friends. Fan, the book is not worried about selling, so the publication is very fast.
But compared to the Chinese version, it must be much slower.
Just right.
The last time Ma Yuan went to No. 84 Charing Cross Road, they found that it was a coffee shop, and then there was a "Little Prince" reading session in the coffee shop. The owner of the coffee shop tasted the sweetness and specially organized it.
The group of them were inspired and formed a reading interest group after they came back—the few people they went to liked reading, and now they just got together. Ma Yuan's status in it is not bad, because he can share Jiang Yang's new book as soon as possible.
But it’s not just about sharing Jiang Yang’s book.
The day before yesterday, Ma Yuan shared an article about Mid-Autumn Festival.
Just used it during the day.
He quarreled with the Korean student who stole the Mid-Autumn Festival, and he won a big victory. The small eyes of the angry Korean student turned into big eyes.
Now Ma Yuan's only worry is that the next time the two of them have to fight over whether Jiang Yang's ancestor is a Chinese.
Jiang Yang's new book is science fiction. He knew it a long time ago, and he was even the first group of people to know it.
But I really saw it today.
It's late at night now.
Ma Yuan intends to read this book,
Alone as a stranger in a foreign land, he misses his relatives a lot during the festive season. Strictly speaking, the moon is still in the sky during the Mid-Autumn Festival. He chatted with his girlfriend in China for a while and got excited, but now he can’t sleep , Now I just read a book from my hometown to relieve my nostalgia.
Ma Yuan just turned to the first page, when suddenly the chat software rang, and someone was @ him.
Ma Yuan opens the chat software.
A member of the Reading Interest Group.
Her name is Daisy.
She is not the female student who wants to get a tattoo of the little prince, but a local college student in England.
One of her friends brought her in because she was obsessed with Poirot and Jiang Yang.
The kind that is obsessed.
Daisy said that the Poirot series is very suitable for her British girl's taste, and it fits very well, that is, the kind that can accurately provoke her at the point between F and H. As long as she picks up the Poirot series of books, she is immersed in it. That world felt very cool.
Daisy was also puzzled, why a book written by someone thousands of miles away could tease her so much.
"It seems that he understands women's hearts and our tastes—"
Daisy refers to her, her grandmother, her mother, these British women, "I like reasoning, my mother doesn't like reasoning very much, but my mother's obsession with Poirot is no less than mine. one page."
Daisy was incoherent when she said this to him, not because she was excited, but because she couldn't find the right words to express her liking.
Ma Yuan thought it was normal.
After living here for a period of time, he found that Jiang Yang's Poirot has many female readers here, and it is definitely impossible to surpass Sherlock Holmes, but among the remaining mystery novels, Poirot must prevail.
Ma Yuan feels that it is related to the detailed description of many details of life here in the novel, which makes people feel more substituting.
What's more, in the book, Jiang Yang writes about the women here very well. Take the doctor's sister Caroline in "Roger's Mystery" as an example. Many people like her, even Poirot in the book. I care about her very much.
Daisy has a close relationship with Ma Yuan in the study club,
Mainly because she is a fan circle girl, I hope Ma Yuan can help her collect all the news about Jiang Yang on the Chinese network.
She is also very fraternal. After learning that Jiang Yang is married, she also fell in love with the Great Demon King. Especially after learning that "Letitbe" is a new song written by Li Yu for Jiang Yang, she can't wait to lock them up.
but-
She likes "Chapter Seven of the Night" now, and thinks the big devil is cool.
Daisy posted a screenshot on the chat software. It was a literary magazine, and Jiang Yang's name was mentioned on the cover of the magazine.
"Huh?"
He planned to buy a magazine tomorrow, and then asked casually: "How is it, is it a novel?"
The other party replied: "Short stories, great!"
Ma Yuan frowned slightly.
As a fanatic of Jiang Yang, Daisy's evaluation of Jiang Yang's book is the same as the coffee in a coffee shop. There are only three evaluations: great, great, and even bought. There are no bad reviews. This is already Daisy's evaluation of Jiang Yang. The lowest rating in the ocean.
Ma Yuan: "Very bad?"
Daisy didn’t think it was bad, so she had an idea: “A person is born as an old man, then lives his whole life backwards, and finally becomes a story of a baby dying.”
Ma Yuan thinks this subject matter is quite good, with Jiang Yang’s usual imagination, it can be seen that it was written by Jiang Yang, “Then what?”
Then there is no more.
Daisy: "Besides this idea, it's just a running account."
The only thing that makes people feel emotional is the final death. Benjamin, the protagonist of the book, turns into a baby and dies without knowing it.
Daisy also sent Ma Yuan a link.
Ma Yuan clicked in and jumped to social media. Martin, a certified author, tweeted about this magazine: "The short story "Rejuvenation" was purely written by Jiang to cheat the manuscript fee!"
Many people below agree.
I also disagree. I think the idea of this novel is good, but I didn’t bother to write it.
Ma Yuan thinks this is a black fan, isn't this still a scam of manuscript fees.
He continued to look down, and finally found a fairly pertinent evaluation, saying that the novel is short and concise, and the content of the journal makes the novel lack of interest, but the creativity and the absurd and true writing of the story make people think a lot space.
In summary, this novel is barely qualified to appear in this magazine, and it is not considered a cheating fee. The only problem may be that the article occupies an important position in the magazine, and the Martin author's article is placed in an inconspicuous position, so he is not upset.
But these days, literary magazines are having a hard time, so it is understandable to use this method to stimulate sales.
Who made many female readers' eyes light up when they saw Jiang Yang's name.
Actually, there was a lot of disagreement in the magazine about this matter, so it was decided in the end.
***
The boat finally arrived at the pier.
Jiang Yang is almost there, not that almost no one is gone, nor is it that he is almost used to it, but that he is almost used to vomiting.
While on the boat, Jiang Yang felt that the boat was shaking left and right.
When I got to the land, I felt the land was shaking from side to side.
Li Qingning supported Jiang Yang, while Li's father and Li's mother were walking behind, muttering about Jiang Yang's handwriting. It was not well written before, but he could still see what was written. Li's mother saw that the script was good. He didn't say a word.
But the writing on the boat was even worse. She wanted to read the newly written paragraph, so she had to ask Li Qingning to supplement the translation.
Mother Li wondered: "How can your daughter understand?"
Father Li can only say: "I have a good understanding, but it's worse than the two of us."
"That's true."
People on the pier kept saying hello to them, "Qingning is back", "Uncle Li, this is your son-in-law, he looks so handsome", "Old Li, let's drink tonight", the main business of this small town is still fishing, but there are also Work hard for the tourism industry. For example, as soon as you leave the pier, there will be signs indicating where Liyu Grandma Bridge is, the market mentioned, where your favorite fish is, etc.
The market is right next to it.
All are fresh seafood from fishermen. They are cheap. After buying, you can directly take them to the nearby restaurant for processing.
Li Qingning has really reached his own place.
Along the way, someone delivered seafood, someone asked her to eat,
Shortly after leaving the pier, someone honked the horn, and Li's father's cousin drove to pick them up.
There is one more update.
Make up what you owe yesterday.
I made a slip of the tongue yesterday, I don’t know why, my head felt like it stopped yesterday, so I didn’t write it.
(>person<;) sorry
