Chapter 187 The one-day plan lies in the morning, showdown! (page 1)
Both newspapers have submitted manuscripts.
But it is this royalties that makes Wu Youde a little regretful...
Of the two newspapers, the highest one, Ta Kung Pao, only charges ten yuan per thousand words. This price may seem relatively high to others.
No, in the eyes of others, it is very high, even a little unbelievable, even outrageous!
Even if you write a thousand words a day, you can still earn ten yuan, which is three hundred yuan a month. Ask around on the street to see who can make three hundred yuan a month now?
Let alone 300 yuan, even if you can make 100 yuan a month, that's very rare!
If anyone can make a hundred yuan a month, then if he talks about it, it will make the whole family look good. He will dare to speak louder when he goes out. He is so arrogant!
But Wu Youde felt that it was a little less... average.
There is still a big gap between this price and what he expected!
What I am writing now is a work by Jin Yong, a classic that is popular throughout Southeast Asia!
Are you going to give me a royalties of ten yuan per thousand words? ?
Are you insulting me, or looking down on Jin Dada?
Wu Youde knows that in this day and age, the remuneration system for domestic writers is still very good!
Between 1949 and 1957, the royalties system developed relatively well.
Remuneration is a legal remuneration in nature. At this stage, the domestic remuneration system roughly draws on the Soviet method of paying royalties based on the number of copies printed.
For writers, this remuneration system can earn considerable amounts of money, and phenomena such as "struggle for 30,000 yuan" and "households with 10,000 yuan" also appeared during this period.
Moreover, except for a very small number of freelance writers such as Ba Jin and Fu Lei, most writers are included in the system and receive a monthly salary.
Remuneration is just additional living income.
In other words, one person can earn two pieces of money, so the writers of this period can be said to have a very prosperous life, and their income is all legal income, which is very legitimate!
也正是得益于稿酬制度的良好发展，在这一时期里作家的稿费标准都很高，著作稿每千字为4元、6元、8元、10元、12元、15元、17元。
In other words, a writer can easily earn thousands or even thousands of dollars by writing a novel. There was a slogan at that time called "One Book Doctrine."
Lao She, Zhang Henshui, Ai Qing, Wu Zuguang and others all used their royalties to buy their own courtyard houses in Beijing in the early 50s.
However, in these good days, the situation took a turn for the worse in 1958. Starting from 1958, the remuneration system was cut in half.
In other words, those who could get ten yuan in royalties before will only get five yuan by then.
But this is better than what happened later.
From now on, there will be no royalties, it will be completely free...
……
After thinking about it,
Wu Youde suddenly felt that he was doing pretty well!
Thanks to the glory of the times, if this was not 1952, but 1962...
hehe~~
Wu Youde chose Shanhai's "Ta Kung Pao" without much thought. The one with the highest price will get it!
If you can earn two yuan more for every thousand words, why not?
After dinner in the evening, he began to sort out the manuscript. In the past few days, he dictated several chapters. Qin Huairu had already transcribed them at home during the day.
Wu Youde estimated that it must be about 50,000 words.
Quite a lot, based on ten yuan for a thousand words, these fifty thousand words are equivalent to five hundred yuan.
In addition to the 20,000 words submitted previously, the total is 700 yuan.
Yes, when the royalties arrive in a few days, I can pull the wires and turn on the lights openly.
Thinking of this,
He began to write a letter, and sent a letter to Ta Kung Pao to express his agreement with the other party's conditions, and also brought the manuscript with him.
Another letter was written to Progressive Daily, expressing regret and looking forward to our next cooperation. Please send back my contribution.
He was so busy that he even forgot to practice "Dongxuanzi".
……
The next day,
As soon as Wu Youde woke up, he immediately opened the system.
Yesterday, the steel rolling mill showed another movie and also held a relatively amateurish and loose singing competition.
You need to hurry up and see the effect!
【Broken system】
[Bad value: 10324]
In the column of bad value, it is directly five digits.
Breaking 10,000 in one day! !
Wu Youde's eyes widened when he saw it, and his heart was beating wildly! !
Isn’t this so cool? ? ?
In an instant, he became restless~
……
Qin Huairu slept very late last night and worked hard until late at night. At this time, she was sleeping soundly.
Drowsily, she felt like she was being turned over...
After a while, she felt something was wrong. When she opened her eyes, she saw that Wu Youde had gotten up and was running there.
He ran very fast, that speed was like sprinting!
"Ah! Brother Wu... Isn't it too early for you?"
"A day's plan lies in morning, and life lies in movement."
"I...I can't do it anymore, I'm too tired and my whole body is weak.
Brother Wu, I, I... I really can't do it anymore, please find Sister Mei and let her run with you... okay? ? "
Qin Huairu looked really tired. She spoke intermittently, and her voice was shaking at the end...
Wu Youde sped up and sprinted for a while before finally stopping out of breath.
Fortunately, there was still someone at home, so he woke up Xue Chunmei...
Running is fun only when two people are together. You can talk while running, and you can also compete between two people to see who can't hold on first.
If you were alone, it would be too boring and dry.
However, because Wu Youde practiced "Dongxuanzi" and now even developed his internal strength, he was able to run very well and for a long time.
There was no suspense. Xue Chunmei was the first to be unable to hold on and shouted, "I can't do it, I can't do it..."
Wu Youde had no choice but to stop without feeling satisfied, finished running, wiped the sweat from his head, then got dressed and got up.
……
It is precisely because of this incident,
When both women got up in the morning and heard Wu Youde say during dinner that he bought a yard in Juyun Hutong, Qianmen, and took in a family out of kindness, neither woman showed much rebelliousness.
Xue Chunmei asked: "Who are those family members? Where do they come from?"
Wu Youde told the truth: "They are both orphans and widowers. She is about the same age as you. She has an old woman and two five-year-old daughters.
Oh, right,
Her aunt had just been abandoned and was homeless, so she was living there for the time being. There is no one else. "
I heard it was my aunt,
Xue Chunmei and Qin Huairu looked at each other and felt a little relieved. It seemed that there was only one person left.
They didn't expect that this aunt was not very old.
"Cough~~"
Wu Youde cleared his throat and said: "The reason why I mentioned this matter is that I want to explain it to you, and I don't want to hide it from you.
