Chapter 1377 Report, Qingxue, Guidance
78, end of February.

At the gate of Nanjing University.

Su Mingzhe was queuing up to sign up when he suddenly heard a commotion in the distance.

When he looked in the direction of everyone's gaze, he saw a young Fengxin woman wearing a snow-white slim-fitting long coat, with a graceful figure and a pretty face, passing by everyone and walking towards the school gate.

Both boys and girls were attracted by the woman's graceful figure.

Su Mingzhe was naturally no exception. He waited until the young woman disappeared at the end of the road before he came to his senses.

End of report.

Su Mingzhe came to his eight-person dormitory and looked around. Apart from four bunk beds and a wardrobe, there was nothing else inside.

He found his bed, the lower bunk near the balcony. Looking at the dust on it, Su Mingzhe waved his hand and cleaned up all the dust in the room!
After putting his belongings in place, Su Mingzhe took out a manuscript from the package and walked out of the school!

Last year, when he first traveled through time, his original body left himself about 800 yuan in cash.

In the past few months, Su Mingzhe has been spending money lavishly.

Especially when school was about to start, he bought six sets of clothes for spring, autumn, summer and winter for himself and Ma Suqin, as well as various other luggage items.

Before coming to Jinling, Su Mingzhe left another hundred yuan for Ma Suqin as a safe deposit. Now he only has one hundred yuan left in his hand.

The main reason why he took a plane to save two days and get to Jinling was to earn some pocket money before school started.

Before this, he had already found out that the largest newspaper in Jinling City was the Jinling Daily.

The office of Jinling Daily is not far from Nanjing University, only five or six miles away.

He wants to go now to promote the novel he wrote.

After half an hour.

Su Mingzhe walked to the newspaper office and after asking a few people, he came to the office of the editor-in-chief of the literature section.

dong dong dong-

Knocked on the door.

"Enter!"

Editor-in-chief Chen Jianjun, who was chatting with his niece, thought it was his subordinate reporting on work, so he just asked someone to come in.

Su Mingzhe pushed the door open and walked in. He didn't look at the beautiful woman sitting on the sofa. He introduced himself to the editor-in-chief and handed over his manuscript.

"...Editor-in-Chief Chen, this is the manuscript of my novel. I have revised it several times and would like to submit it to your newspaper!"

"Oh?"

Hearing that Su Mingzhe was a freshman at Nanjing University, Chen Jianjun looked at Su Mingzhe in surprise, then looked at his niece, and then lowered his head to read the manuscript.

The manuscript is really good.

It is a novel and its name is "The North Wind".

The content is very positive, telling the story of educated youth who went to the countryside and worked hard without fear of hardship in the Great Northern Wilderness.

The manuscript Su Mingzhe handed over had a total of 20,000 words, along with an outline for the first half.

Chen Jianjun took a quick look and couldn't help but applaud:

"Xiao Su, your manuscript is good. Our newspaper has accepted it. Um, the remuneration is 30 per thousand words. How about that?"

“Thank you, Editor-in-Chief Chen!”

Su Mingzhe is a newcomer now, and he can get 30 yuan per thousand words as a remuneration. It must be that the editor-in-chief in front of him has the idea of ​​"cherishing talent".

You know, when Su Mingzhe submitted his manuscript for the first time in the "Zhengyangmen" dimension, the other party offered him six yuan per thousand words.

Although it is now 78, times have changed and the royalties for writers have increased a lot.

However, the normal price for a newcomer should not exceed 15 yuan per thousand words.

After agreeing on the price, Chen Jianjun called in one of his assistants and took Su Mingzhe to sign the contract.

After all, it was their first collaboration, so Su Mingzhe gave his outline and 20,000-word manuscript to his assistant to make a copy. Then he signed the contract and went to the finance office to collect his 300 yuan fee.

After saying goodbye to the assistant and agreeing to send a new manuscript a week later, Su Mingzhe prepared to leave.

As soon as I got down the stairs, I was stopped by a beautiful woman at the door: "Hello!"

"Hello!"

Su Mingzhe recognized the beauty in front of him; he had met her twice before.

The first time we met was at Nanjing University. This beautiful lady was wearing a white coat and her graceful and elegant figure attracted a lot of attention.

The second time they met was in the office of Chief Editor Chen Jianjun. This beautiful lady seemed to call Chief Editor Chen "Uncle".

"Hello, I'm Wen Qingxue, and Editor-in-Chief Chen Jianjun is my uncle!"

Wen Qingxue introduced herself generously, and then explained the purpose of calling Su Mingzhe:
"I came to see my uncle today, actually, to submit an article. Originally, my uncle read my manuscript and was helping me revise it, but after you came, he directly told me to come to you to learn, and also said that you are more than qualified to be my teacher!"

Wen Qingxue looked elegant and graceful, but as soon as she opened her mouth, a fierce aura burst out of her body:

"Oh, I forgot to mention that I'm also a freshman at Nankai University, majoring in literature!"

Wen Qingxue finished speaking in one breath, pouting her moist red lips, with a stubborn look in her eyes. She was obviously very dissatisfied with her uncle for asking her to seek advice from this "peer"!
After waiting for Wen Qingxue to finish speaking, Su Mingzhe smiled and said:
"Since we are all classmates, let's learn from each other in the future. I'm from the history department!"

NTU currently has three colleges: Arts, Science, and Agriculture. The Department of Literature and the Department of History are both majors in the Faculty of Arts.

"That's such a coincidence!"

Wen Qingxue is a very smart woman. She had already taken note of what Su Mingzhe had introduced himself to in the office just now.

Seeing that the two sides were acquainted, Wen Qingxue said bluntly:
"Student Su, are you free now? I have some questions about writing and would like to ask you for advice?"

"Of course I'm free!"

Su Mingzhe did not consider the monk's face but the Buddha's. Even for the sake of Editor-in-Chief Chen, he would not refuse the invitation of a beautiful woman.

At that moment, the two of them came to a nearby park, and Wen Qingxue took out her manuscript without hesitation and asked Su Mingzhe for help.

Su Mingzhe also took out his own manuscript and asked Wen Qingxue to give it some advice.

Wen Qingxue took Su Mingzhe's manuscript and was quickly attracted by the content, and then began to read it with relish.

Su Mingzhe couldn't help but frowned as soon as he took a look at Wen Qingxue's manuscript.

The article written by Wen Qingxue is actually about educated youth going to the countryside.

Unlike Su Mingzhe's article which is full of positive energy, Wen Qingxue's article is full of discrimination and contempt for rural life.

Enduring the discomfort in his heart, Su Mingzhe slowly read through the manuscript of more than 5,000 words. He looked up at Wen Qingxue who was sitting next to him and was still concentrating on reading her manuscript, so he lowered his head and read her manuscript again.

Nearly an hour later, Wen Qingxue finally finished reading Su Mingzhe's manuscript. After taking a long breath, she was about to ask Su Mingzhe how the protagonists and their group would deal with the severe weather in the Great Northern Wilderness.

Su Mingzhe spoke first this time:

"Mr. Wen, your manuscript... has gorgeous words, which shows that you have good literary skills. In addition, the story structure is also perfect, which shows that you have a certain level of writing skills..."

Before criticizing, he first gave some praise. Su Mingzhe thought he had laid the groundwork, so he slowly spoke:
"However, writing a novel is not like writing a report, writing news, or writing notes... Its most important purpose is to write content that resonates with readers..."

Su Mingzhe tried to explain his views to Wen Qingxue in a less provocative way.

When Wen Qingxue heard Su Mingzhe's criticism, a layer of blush immediately appeared on her fair skin.

After reading Su Mingzhe's manuscript, Wen Qingxue knew that there was a big gap between her and Su Mingzhe, so she did not feel disgusted by the man's criticism. She even nodded seriously to show that she accepted the criticism:

"Student Su, then tell me, how should I change it?"

Seeing that this beautiful woman was willing to listen to his advice, Su Mingzhe immediately developed a liking for her, and his advice began to gain depth:
"It's not difficult to revise it, but before you do, you need to think about one thing: who is the 'audience' of your novel?"

"After all, we write novels for people to read."

"Now, you need to think about how many readers and viewers your novel will have after it is written."

"If you want to write for ordinary people, then you have to know what ordinary people like to read..."

"Knowing what readers like to read, I can try to analyze and modify it from the readers' perspective..."

"Of course, when we write, we don't necessarily have to follow the readers' minds, but at least we can't violate the public's values..."

"In addition, there are some tips for writing..."
