I am really a language teacher

Chapter 118: Popular Writer

Although "Peach Blossom River" magazine is only a school-level magazine, it is also one of the school magazines of the No. [-] Middle School, so the school generously arranged a half-floor office for them in the old administrative building.The old administrative building is the administrative office building of the Old No. [-] Middle School. It was originally planned to be demolished during construction, but the local cultural relics department informed the No. [-] Middle School Board of Directors that this office building was built a hundred years ago, and it can be regarded as a cultural relic protection unit. , not allowed to dismantle.

When the school board heard this, of course they were so happy that they would not tear it down.Why did the board of trustees happily decide to keep such a four-story building in such a valuable place?Schools and other institutions are most afraid of having no historical qualifications.Now the old administrative building of our No. [-] Middle School has a history of more than a hundred years, so what about the history of our No. [-] Middle School?

So under the research of a group of imperial literati, the school history of Taojiang No. 56 Middle School was extended from the current 425 years to [-] years in an instant.According to the school history of the No. [-] Middle School, the earliest predecessor of Taojiang No. [-] Middle School was called Taojiang Yishu, which was later renamed Taojiang Academy; and finally split into Taojiang Academy Dongzhai and Xizhai.Dongzhai was rebuilt into Taojiang City National Primary School on the original site, then developed into National No. [-] Junior High School, and then became National No. [-] Senior High School; finally merged with Taojiang Art Middle School and Taojiang Girls' High School to form Taojiang No. [-] Senior High School.

And what surprised Sun Ping was that Xizhai, which was assigned back then, developed into the current Qingfeng No. [-] Middle School.So according to the school history of Taojiang No. [-] Middle School, the current Qingfeng No. [-] Middle School is the branch school of Taojiang No. [-] Middle School.

As a result, there was opposition from Qingfeng No. [-] Middle School. They raised two points. The first was that the Xizhai of Taojiang Academy took away the head of Taojiang Academy and almost all the teachers of the school. Xizhai is the orthodox Taojiang Academy; the second is that the main body of Qingfeng No. [-] Middle School is the National Qingfeng County No. [-] Junior High School and the private Qingfeng Public School, and Taojiang Academy Xizhai is just a supplement.

But no matter how Taojiang No. [-] Middle School and Qingfeng No. [-] Middle School quarreled, the old administrative office building now named "Wenhua Building" was basically allocated to students for use.The office addresses of the Student Union, Student News Agency, "Taohuajiang" Magazine, "White Roof Poetry Magazine", Taojiang No. [-] Middle School TV Station and Taojiang No. [-] Middle School Campus Radio Station are all located here.

"I heard no, this time the school has arranged for Mr. Sun Ping to be in charge of our magazine." In the editorial department of "Taohuajiang" magazine, a girl was full of anticipation, "Do you think Mr. Sun will give training lectures? ? He is a popular writer."

"You also said that he is a popular writer, so don't dream about it." Another boy shook his head and said, "The instructor is only in name, and the current rule of "Peach Blossom River" is that it can be published after the executive editor confirms it." , never bothering the editor-in-chief and deputy editor-in-chief.

And with Mr. Sun's current reputation, he should be at the level of Jiangnan University or Shonan University to give lectures. Even Jiangnan Normal University can only rely on the alumni of Jiangnan Normal University to make an exception.So, even the Jiangnan Humanities University next door to us is not qualified; let alone our high school?

Although Teacher Sun is our teacher, he is not obliged to give lectures for Taojiang No. [-] Middle School.If you meet him regularly, it would be nice to get him to sign. "

"Oh, yes." The longing girl just now had to agree with the boy's statement, "I was still bored by Teacher Sun's "Yushima Yu" last month, and this time I watched his "Izu After "The Dancing Girl", I suddenly decided to feel better, but there was still a trace of sadness. Do you think Izu in Dongying Country is really so beautiful? I really want to be warm and cold in a certain late spring At that time, it must be wonderful to experience nature in the hot spring deep in the dense forest."

"Compared to the quiet Izu jungle, I am more looking forward to meeting a gentle and beautiful dancer there, and then start an unforgettable love." The boy looks forward to it with longing, "I will hand over my first time to her, I hope she remembers that too."

"It's disgusting!" The girls obviously didn't agree with the boy's expectations, "Ms. Sun, who can write such a beautiful love story, seems to be single? Do you think this is an experience of Mr. Sun during her graduation trip? Wow, It's so romantic just thinking about it!"

"Why do you feel disgusted when the main character is me? Why do you look forward to it if it's Teacher Sun?" The boy was unconvinced.

"Yan is justice! Think about your height and appearance, and then think about Mr. Sun's appearance and height, and you will understand!"

Leaving aside the silly arguments of these children, there was also an argument at the "Mother Tongue" magazine at this time.

"Editor-in-Chief, according to our survey in the six major cities of Yanjing, Dongfang, Mingzhu, Huacheng, Beidao, and Star City in the past two days, the sales of this issue of "Mother Tongue" have increased by 20%. Especially in Yanjing and Beidao City, local agents have already started to give us feedback, hoping that this issue of our magazine can be printed more." The marketing department staff of "Mother Tongue" reported to the editor-in-chief Yu Baoyanhui.

Cathay has a huge land area, but it can still be divided into several metropolitan areas according to the economic aggregate and per capita income level.In particular, the six metropolitan areas of Yanjing, Dongfang, Mingzhu, Huacheng, Beidao, and Xingcheng have concentrated 80% of the economic aggregate and 60% of the population of Aurora, so the sales of magazines in these six metropolitan areas are generally the magazine's sales volume. Finally sold out.

Even for a nationally popular magazine like "Mother Tongue", sales in the six major metropolitan areas generally account for two-thirds of the total sales.Especially the two metropolitan areas of Yanjing and Beidao, where the two universities of the south and the north are concentrated, and it can also be called the cultural center of the north and the south.Since it is a cultural center, it is naturally the place where writers and critics are most concentrated.Therefore, for literary and literary magazines, the sales volume in these two regions is also an indicator.

Today, the sales volume of "Mother Tongue" in the six major metropolitan areas has increased by [-]%, especially in the two major cultural centers.Faced with such sales volume, it is no wonder that the marketing staff will find Yu Baoyan to report, because it is too important.

"Is there any feedback from the first batch of reader surveys?" Yu Baoyan asked.

"Mother Tongue" magazine has direct sales departments in six major cities, and is also responsible for local market research.Generally, there will be the first batch of official survey feedback within three days of magazine sales, and the final survey report of this issue will be available two weeks after sales.However, if the headquarters needs it, there is also a preliminary analysis.

"According to the preliminary analysis of the market research department, the sales of this issue of the magazine seem to be related to Mr. Sun Ping's novels." The marketing staff replied, "According to the reader's questionnaire, the top three most popular novels in this issue of the magazine are currently sold by Sun Ping. Teacher Ping took it all in. The order of popularity is: No.1 "The Plague"; No.2 "Disgusting"; No.3 "The Outsider".

Yanjing has the highest love for "The Plague", and 1% of the readers in the current survey voted it No.[-]; while "The Outsider" is the most popular in Beidao, and almost [-]% of the readers chose "The Outsider" My favorite novel in this issue. "

"It's not surprising, it's just empathy." Huang Jun interrupted, "Yanjing City was closed for nearly half a year due to the outbreak of influenza five years ago. At that time, there were a lot of deaths, and the psychological pressure caused was even more terrifying. No wonder. They fell in love with the novel "The Plague", which seemed to be completely adapted from the story of the year.

As for the North Island, they are the only out-island metropolitan areas among the six metropolitan areas that do not border the mainland.Although they are developing well, there is always a feeling of being adrift.In particular, the recent establishment of the new three major metropolitan areas radiating from Dongfang City to Jinling City, Lin'an City, and Sucheng City made Bei Dao feel pressure and fear.So they are also prone to the feeling of 'outsiders', so they prefer the novel "The Outsider". "

"This is the third time we have published Mr. Sun Ping's novel, right?" Yu Baoyan said, "I didn't expect him to become an author who has affected our sales?" When Yu Baoyan said this, he felt a little Incredible.

"It only took him three months to go from a young author who just debuted to a popular author. And at the end of the year, the newcomer awards of several literary awards cannot be avoided anyway, and his strength is enough Competing for the award of the novel department. As long as Mr. Sun wins a few awards in China, he will become a popular author and become a powerful author. If there are a few more international awards, he is probably the fastest we know to be promoted to "National" Writer's author, right?

And at his age, it is only a matter of time before he competes for our 'Qu Yuan Literary Award' or the Western 'Shakespeare Prize for Literature', right?I always feel that he may be the first author who can win a double award.After all, the literary circles on both sides always have this kind of quarrel. If you win the Qu Yuan Award, you will have no chance to win the Shakespeare Award.However, for an author like Mr. Sun who is proficient in the two major genres of the East and the West, the critics on both sides are not easy to boycott. "

"Editor Yu, are you overestimating Mr. Sun?" Although Huang Jun is also optimistic about Sun Ping, the Qu Yuan Literature Award and the Shakespeare Literature Award are not so easy to win.

These two literary awards are awarded once every ten years, and only one person is awarded each time, and they must be living authors.It is conceivable how difficult it is to win these two awards.Once one of them is won, it is almost a master-level existence in the literary world of the country.Even though the Qu Yuan Literary Award was jointly awarded by the Aurora Literature and Art Research Association and the Aurora National Academy of Literature, this award has not been associated with Aurora writers for at least 50 years, which made it difficult for the Aurora Writers Association to talk about it. regarded as a great disgrace.As for the Shakespeare Prize, people basically don't like to see oriental authors.In the history of the Shakespeare Prize for Literature, only one author from Tianzhu and two authors from Dongying have won awards.As for winning two grand prizes, that is nothing short of a dream.

"In addition to these two top literary awards, Citi Country's Founding Father Literary Award, Mi Qi Country's Rose Literary Award, Gaul's Seine River Literary Achievement Award, Dongying Country's Cherry Blossom Literary Award, and our country's People's Literature Award These six first-level awards are not something Mr. Sun can aspire to. These first-level awards are basically awarded once every two years, and they are still the kind of masters who would rather be short than indiscriminate. Compared with these six major awards Looking at it, the National Literary and Art Awards, the Golden Pen Award, the Golden Book Award and the Qingyun Award are simply childish."

"Don't belittle these four small awards too much. You must know that the National Literary and Art Awards also have a history of lacking." Yu Baoyan said with a smile, "But think about it, except for the Qingyun Award, which is a literary award that specially encourages newcomers. Not counting, the other three awards, even the Golden Pen Award and the Golden Book Award with the strongest commercial atmosphere, what is the average age of their award-winning authors? Comparing with the current Mr. Sun, you feel that his future is really not good. Good estimate."
