A healing writer? No, it's a depressing writer!

Chapter 170: Gold will always shine, recognition from the orthodox literary world! You have to support it even if you can't! (4k)

If you interfere in other people's lives, you have to bear the consequences of their actions.

This sentence should be absolutely correct?
What does "Dragon Clan" represent to "Youth Preface"?
"Dragon Clan" represents sales!
"Dragon Clan" represents the popularity of magazines and periodicals!

Before the "Dragon Clan" series of stories was officially included, "Youth Preface" was just a second-rate or even third-rate reading material in the domestic youth literature magazine. As a small and medium-sized periodical with sales of around 200,000 copies per issue for a long time, "Youth Preface" itself was hovering on the edge of subsistence.

Do you think that the sales volume of about 200,000 copies per issue can make "Youth Preface" full?
If you eat, you will definitely not be full.

The magazine has so many employees to support and so many authors to pay for their royalties. From water, electricity, rent to employee salaries, each of these items requires money. After deducting these necessary expenses, "Youth Preface" may be able to maintain a basic balance between income and expenditure?

Until Jiang Hai appeared, or to be more precise, Jiang Hai appeared with the "Dragon Clan" series of stories, with an absolute attitude——

Break this balance!
Just looking at the sales of the last issue of "Youth Preface" magazine, the sales of a single issue exceeded 800,000 copies!
Eight hundred thousand copies, what kind of concept is this?
This is a terrifying sales volume that even Yilin and Youth Digest, two of the four major literary magazines and periodicals in China, cannot achieve!
Behind "Yilin" is Changchun Publishing House.

Behind Youth Digest is China Youth Publishing House.

"Youth Preface" is just a third-rate local magazine. Even they themselves did not expect that one day they would be able to compete with a national team like the Youth Publishing House?
The appearance of "Dragon Clan" has greatly increased the sales of "Youth Preface". It can be said that "Dragon Clan" not only makes "Youth Preface" full, but also makes it very good. At a meeting last week, Editor-in-Chief Mo announced in front of all the editors and staff that as long as the sales increase of 500,000 copies per issue can be maintained -

Double salary final bonus for senior leaders!

Three-salary year-end bonus for low-level employees!
"I've already said this, but you're going to switch to another magazine with Dragon Clan?"

"No, this is absolutely not allowed!"

Objectively speaking, it is not that Jiang Hai needs "Youth Preface", but that "Youth Preface" wants to rely on Jiang Hai's "Dragon Clan" in the entire magazine publishing field -

Gain status!

Make a name for yourself!

For any top author in the field of literature, they are the objects of competition for manuscripts from major magazines. Editor-in-Chief Mo has no doubt that as long as Jiang Hai releases the news that "Dragon Clan" does not want to be serialized in "Youth Preface" today, editors, magazines and journals will flood in tomorrow.

I will take the initiative to come forward and ask Jiang Hai for an article!
Serializing "Dragon Clan" represents sales, and sales represent money. Although we all work on magazines and periodicals, we are also considered half-literati.
But intellectuals all need to eat, who would go against money?

"I want to join the Provincial Writers Association, and I'm counting on you to help me get promoted from editor-in-chief to president. You can't run away at such a critical moment."

Just when Editor Mo was hesitant, Jiang Hai sent him another message:
[Editor-in-Chief Mo, it's a pleasure to meet you. I am very grateful to "Youth Preface" for giving me a platform to publish my own story. I am deeply grateful for this. But my personal writing style is also like this. I can't accept changes, and I can't change the sequel of "Dragon Clan" into a happy ending that everyone can accept. ]

[For me, if Dragon Race didn’t end in tragedy, then all this would be meaningless]

Jiang Hai sat in front of the computer, apologizing to Editor-in-Chief Mo while thinking about which magazine he would find more convenient to submit for serialization of "Dragon Tribe" later.

"I haven't even started cutting yet, and you're already complaining like this. If I continue writing, won't you annoy me to death?"

In fact, in Jiang Hai's view, whether it is [Xia Mi's death] or [Nono's proposal], these are just the beginning of the tragedy rather than the climax.

"The bad boy Lu Mingfei will transform into a lonely and arrogant king, sitting on the lonely throne that belongs to him alone."

This theme will run through the entire text and become an eternal theme.

If you want to become a king, you must first cut off all emotions and desires, and cut off all the ties in this world!

Whether it is family, friendship, or love.

All of these will be eliminated one by one as Lu Mingfei grows up.
Whether it is the subsequent [the first generation of Lionheart members died, and the principal Ange suffered a serious blow], or [Chu Zihang was forgotten by the world and only existed in the memory of his mother Su Xiaoyan who was in a mental hospital], or the more tragic [the death of Tokyo girl Eri], these scenes are compared to the current plot——

Only more knives!

It will only be more sad!

I haven't even started to cut people, but your magazine has been splashed with paint and you keep saying you can't take it anymore. I'm going to keep cutting people.
Wouldn’t Editor-in-Chief Ni Mo be beaten?

Wouldn’t your magazine be set on fire?
For the personal safety of Editor-in-Chief Mo, and also for the long-term stable development of Youth Preface magazine.

Feeling bad, Jiang Hai proposed his own solution again:
[Editor-in-Chief Mo, I am very sorry for bothering you during this period. I can compensate the magazine for the economic losses caused by the willful readers. I will switch to other magazines and periodicals in the future of "Dragon Clan". I am deeply sorry for the negative impact caused to the magazine by the willful readers this time.]

Unexpectedly, before Jiang Hai could even continue speaking.

The next second, I received a reply from Editor-in-Chief Mo:

"Jiang Hai, please keep writing!"

There is a price to pay for anything you do, just like what I mentioned at the beginning -

"If you interfere in other people's lives, you have to bear the consequences of their actions!"

There is no doubt that the impact that "Dragon Clan" has brought to "Youth Preface" is huge, both in terms of economy and fame.

Absolutely huge!

From the perspective of economic revenue, the book "Dragon Clan" directly increased the sales of each issue of "Preface to Youth" from 200,000 copies at the beginning to 800,000 copies today.

This nearly three-fold increase can be said to be extremely exaggerated!
From the perspective of fame, the serialization of "The Dragon Tribe" directly raised "Youth Preface", a magazine and periodical that could originally be considered as a third-rate magazine, to the same level as "Yilin" and "Youth Digest"?
Although the plot of "Dragon Clan" is quite sharp, and even makes readers feel very uncomfortable after reading this part of the plot, it is precisely because of this depressing emotion that a considerable number of readers will do some very irrational things when they are extremely angry.
but!

Obviously, these extreme behaviors are not worth mentioning compared with the profits that "Dragon Clan" brings to "Youth Preface"?
"You can't expect the horse to run and not eat grass at the same time."

Having made up his mind, Chief Editor Mo immediately gave Jiang Hai a reply
"Jiang Hai, please give full play to your talents!"

"The Dragon Race" itself is a book with certain tragic elements. While it brings you huge profits, what's wrong with letting you bear the brunt and take the blame?
Can't you let Jiang Hai write the knife while standing on the moral high ground and restricting others' performance with various reasons?
To know--

Risk is often proportional to the return!

"Just do it, and leave the rest to our magazine!"

Jiang Hai was somewhat surprised by Chief Editor Mo's sudden change of attitude:

"Can you withstand it?"

Just as Jiang Hai wanted to persuade him, he didn't want the angry readers to rush into the magazine and do something irrational again.

His identity was not made public, but the readers were angry.
Can you find the offline address of "Youth Preface" magazine?

Unexpectedly, the next moment, Editor-in-Chief Mo’s reply was very firm:
"You have to hold on even if you can't hold it back!"

Exam week in college is always busy as the end of term approaches.

Not only are we busy studying, but we also have to prepare for various review sessions for the upcoming final exams in various subjects.

Although Fatty and Chu Tianjiao seem to be quite out of tune, don't forget.
They both passed the national college entrance examination and were admitted to Chengxi Academy.

Although Chengxi Academy of Drama is not a 985/211, but in terms of the admission score, Chengxi Academy of Drama has the highest admission score among those under 985/211.

Not to mention, the admission scores of some 211 universities located in relatively remote areas, such as XZ University and Shihezi University, are not even as high as those of Chengxi University?

Maybe in Chengxi, Fatty and Chu Tianjiao look quite insignificant, but if we talk about their college entrance examination scores, if we put them in an ordinary high school in a prefecture-level city,
Should they be considered academic masters?

So, when it comes to learning ability alone, they have absolutely no problems.

"Three exams in one week? That's too hard."

Dormitory 428 was rarely immersed in a learning atmosphere.

Even Yang Wei, who usually only knew how to eat, sleep and masturbate, was now unusually reading a book.

It's a bit strange. Generally speaking, a semester in a university should be four months long, but because Chengxi Opera implements the "long and short semesters", Chengxi Opera's semester is five months, one month longer than ordinary schools. And because of the late vacation, Chengxi Opera's summer vacation is one month shorter than other schools.
Although it is a pleasant holiday time after the end of the semester, the stressful final exams make it difficult for everyone to relax.

But among them, there are only two exceptions——

One is Jianghai.

After sending the follow-up plot of "Dragon Tribe II: Eyes of the Mourner" to "Youth Preface" magazine, Jiang Hai subconsciously opened League of Legends to relax.

As soon as he opened the game interface, he saw a host wearing a pink short-sleeved shirt and headphones, roaring at the screen as if his defenses had been broken:

"Miracle Walker, still clearing the jungle!!!"

In fact, it is not that Jiang Hai did not study hard, but perhaps, he
Is there no need to make any effort?

There are generally two ways to avoid failing the final exam in college:

One is student effort.

The other is the teacher’s hard work.

With all his usual scores maximized, if Jiang Hai just wanted to pass, even if he threw the blank paper on the ground and stepped on it during the exam, just based on the ABCD multiple-choice questions marked by the black footprints, should he be able to pass successfully?
Of course, this description may be a bit exaggerated, but with the advance notification from President Fang Zhenguo:

"The Academic Affairs Office? I'm Fang Zhenguo, a member of the school committee."

"Ask your director to call me back."

As long as he doesn't miss the exam or hand in a blank paper, Jiang Hai feels that the possibility of him failing the exam should be small?
Of course, Jiang Hai was not the only one who was so relaxed as the final exam was approaching. There was another person who also felt the same sense of relaxation as Jiang Hai. That person was a skinny monkey who looked like movie star Zhang Yishan and was nicknamed "Monkey" by the whole class.

Zhang Wenle!
"Why can you run around here and there every day, sleeping everywhere? Don't you need to read books???"

Faced with Yang Wei's rather doubtful questioning, Zhang Wenle's eyes dimmed instantly, and he uttered four words in a tragic and majestic voice:

“I failed a grade.”

If we were to vote for the culprit who caused Zhang Wenle to repeat a grade, that person would have to be——

River and sea!

Old dog Jiang!

I don’t know if you have the kind of classmates around you. When you are playing, he plays with you, and when you start to study, he has no intention of restraining himself at all. Not only does he continue to play, he even wants to pull you to play with him.

When the college entrance examination is approaching, and you have wasted the entire semester, you ask him anxiously:
"The college entrance exam is coming up soon. Can we get into college if we play like this every day?"

Then he will look at you with a very sincere look:
"I was admitted"

At this moment, Zhang Wenle felt the same as a fucked-up dog.

Obviously everyone skipped class together, why were you the only one who was fully present?

We are all bad boys, so why the hell did you get named one of the top three students in school?

What the hell is this based on???

If I hadn’t skipped classes with Jiang Hai to go to the Internet cafe to play games, but instead stayed in the classroom and attended classes peacefully.

If I hadn't been so bad with Jiang Hai, but had gotten up on time and gone to class on time.

if at first
Unfortunately, just as there is no medicine for regret in this world, there is no if in this world.

At this moment, looking at Jiang Hai who was playing League of Legends, grinning with his big teeth bared.

It's like being heartbroken.

Zhang Wenle, who was extremely angry, gritted his teeth and uttered a few words:

"I really want to stab you to death"

Reviewing during exam week is also a bit stressful.

But no matter how nervous I am, I still cannot miss the courses at this critical time.

In the afternoon, Jiang Hai put a book "History of Chinese Literary Criticism" into his bag, and then the three people in the dormitory started walking towards the teaching building.

But don't know why.

Along the way, the originally bustling and lively campus suddenly became a little deserted for unknown reasons?
"What's going on today?" The fat man looked around the deserted atmosphere around the teaching building, feeling a little strange. "Shouldn't the get out of class be over at this time?"

"Why are there so few people on this road?"

"Yeah." Chu Tianjiao was also a little confused. He took a step and subconsciously hurried forward. "It's just the final week, not a holiday. How can this be..."

The three of them walked towards the Boxue Building where the classroom was located, but Chu Tianjiao hadn't finished speaking yet.

When he raised his head, he saw a few lines of large characters engraved on the large LED screen in the center of the Boxue Building, which was originally used to broadcast news:

【Good news! 】

[Congratulations to our student Jiang Hai for being shortlisted for the 25th China Drama Award Cao Yu Script Award.]

To be honest, since Jiang Hai embarked on the path of literary creation, this is the first time he has been recognized by the domestic orthodox literary circles?
Although the previous film "No Longer Human" also won awards in Japan, that was a foreign country after all.

This is the first time he has won an honorary medal from home?
Unexpectedly, the folk drama "The Injustice of Dou E" which Jiang Hai had prepared for a long time did not win any decent awards, but was only nominated for the [China Drama Award·Cao Yu Script Award·Best Folk Drama].

On the contrary, it was Jiang Hai's impromptu work, "The Butterfly Lovers", which expresses the theme of tragic love, that won the [China Drama Award·Cao Yu Script Award·Traditional Folk Drama·Best New Screenwriter] award in one fell swoop?

I watched as the organizers praised "The Butterfly Lovers" as the "Romeo and Juliet" of the East.

See the press conference through the LED display screen.

The host personally announced to the national audience:

"Winner of the 25th Cao Yu Drama Literature Award for Best New Screenwriter——"

"Chenghai Drama Academy, Jiang Hai!"

In an instant, when hearing the news, the teachers and students standing downstairs of the teaching building watching the live broadcast——

It immediately became boiling!

This is the first time in ten years that a student from Chenghai Theatre Academy has been shortlisted for the Cao Yu Drama Literature Award!
This is also the first time in fifteen years that a student from Chenghai Theatre Academy has not only been shortlisted for Cao Yu Drama Literature, but has also won the Cao Yu Drama Literature Award for Best New Screenwriter!
For Chenghai Drama Academy, which was founded on drama, this is...

Significant!

"Come so fast?"

When Jiang Hai stood downstairs of the teaching building, looking at the [Good News] in front of him, he fell into deep thought.

The Dean of the Academic Affairs Office, who was originally very serious, came forward as if he had discovered gold, accompanied by a group of media reporters:
"Congratulations, classmate Jiang Hai!"
