Author: Drunk and smiling lady

The editor of "Youth Festival" magazine who submitted manuscripts to Xu Qingru, Feixin used his real name, Su Manwen.

She is not an ordinary editor, but the chief editor in charge of the "Youth Romance" section of the magazine.

There is no doubt that the editor-in-chief personally reviews the submissions from "Promise", which shows that "Youth Festival" magazine takes Xu Qingru more seriously than "Time Fragments".

Although Xiao Yuan, the editor-in-chief of "Time Fragments", already values ​​Xu Qingru very much, it is a pity that a small editor like her with insufficient qualifications does not have much say in the magazine.

Liu Liping, the editor-in-chief of the modern section of the magazine, places more emphasis on "Us in Summer" by senior author "Mannie".

As for the new author "Xiu Nuo", she believes that the other party should not change rashly. If he wants to write a long series, it is safer to write ancient romance.

The editors of "Time Fragments" felt that Xu Qingru's antique and super high-level writing style, environment, and atmospheric ancient scenes were displayed in his two ancient novels "Peach Blossom Promise" and "Ban Husha".

, it would be a waste if she didn’t write ancient words!

It was under such circumstances that "Five Centimeters Per Second", written by Xu Qingru with "expert-level" writing skills, failed to pass the serialization meeting of "Time Fragments".

Xu Qingru didn't pay much attention to this result, and then transferred it to the magazine "Youth Festival".

When Su Manwen saw that it was a submission from "Promise", she immediately became interested. As "Time Fragments" was a competitor of "Youth Festival" magazine, she was very concerned about it.

Su Manwen happened to have read the two ancient novels by "Xu Nuo", a new author recently discovered by the magazine, and of course he liked them too.

Who doesn’t like to read this kind of ancient novel with superb writing style, full of details, and sweet and satisfying ending?

But Su Manwen didn't expect that the other party would actually contribute to "Youth Festival"...

With strong interest, she read the opening chapter of "Five Centimeters per Second".

The overall feeling is very good. I didn't expect that "Promise" writes modern romance novels, which is not bad at all.

The opening chapter depicts an emotional scene in which the male and female protagonists are childhood sweethearts, liking each other and supporting each other. It is written in a particularly warm and healing way, with a strong visual sense, making the readers involuntarily look forward to them being together forever.

This kind of fresh, natural, and unpretentious youth novel suited Su Manwen's taste, so as the editor-in-chief, she immediately decided to submit the manuscript for this short novel.

Obviously, the historical achievements before the "promise" also played a key role.

Editor-in-chief Su Manwen also considered poaching such "genius newcomers", which would also weaken "Time Fragments".

In this way, Xu Qingru also received a Fetion letter from the editor-in-chief Su Manwen. The two had a great conversation and even mentioned the issue of illustrations for "Five Centimeters Per Second".

In fact, the novel "5 Centimeters Per Second" is definitely not as appealing as the animated version.

Anyone who knows Makoto Shinkai’s animations can say that every frame can be taken as a wallpaper.

Xu Qingru believes that "painting" skills will also be very helpful for her to become a great artist, not to mention that she will also collaborate with her brother on various games. So what could be more fulfilling than having the characters she drew appear in the game?

Feeling thing?

The reason why "Arknights" and "Genshin Impact" are so successful is that the XP of various characters that poke players is crucial. The person responsible for the overall art is of course a key figure.

After all, there is no AI painting in this era, and various illustrators and game original painters are still very popular.

Xu Qingru also learned to draw when she was a child, but unfortunately her level did not reach the "entry level" assessed by the system.

What else is there to say? For the door of literature and art, give me more points and let me see your limits!

Xu Qingru has earned too much literary and artistic value recently, not to mention that the tragic character "Li Ke" is still producing a steady stream of literary and artistic value. The controversial full-scoring essay "The Death of Red Rabbit" also made her ruthless.

Make a profit.

She upgraded her "painting" skill to "expert level" in one breath, and instantly had super art skills!

It feels so good to hack this system. Her painting skills are not just about painting two-dimensional characters, but are all-encompassing. She can paint oil paintings, ink paintings, etc.!

Even when there is a blackboard newspaper in the classroom, she can now do it herself. As a literary and art committee member, she does not have to communicate with the students in the classroom who are good at drawing and waste their study time.

In addition to raising the "Painting" skill to "Expert Level", she saw that there was still a lot of literary and artistic value, so she simply raised the "Singing" skill to "Expert Level"!

In this way, she has three expert-level skills, namely writing, painting, and singing, which are very helpful for her to become a great writer and artist.

The literary and artistic points are now basically consumed. After all, the more points you add to a higher level, the greater the literary and artistic values ​​consumed.

When it comes to increasing the expert level to the master level, the massive amount of literary and artistic points is really daunting to Xu Qingru, and it is not something she can afford at this stage.

However, as she produces more and more works in the future, and each one continues to produce more and more literary and artistic value, sooner or later she will be able to add points from "expert level" to "master level"!

But then again, expert-level skills are actually no small matter!

For example, "expert-level" singing skills mean that Xu Qingru, who has this skill, has better singing skills than ordinary professional singers. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is already a "powerful singer in the music industry".

If you participate in a talent show like "The Voice of China", it is basically predetermined, let alone winning the championship directly, but Xu Qingru is definitely the "hard power champion"!

This is the “expert level” value of systematic review!

"I would like to add suitable illustrations to this novel "Five Centimeters per Second" to increase its appeal, is that okay?" Xu Qingru sent this message to Su Manwen.

"Of course you can. Do you know any illustrators yourself?"

Su Manwen, the editor-in-chief who wants to poach "Xu Nuo", basically will satisfy the other party's request as long as it is reasonable.

Xu Qingru wanted to say that she would draw it herself, but then she thought about it. The pen name "Xu Nuo" was only slightly famous in the field of youth novels. If she proposed to draw it by herself, Su Manwen would probably veto it.

"Yeah, of course I know her. The quality of her illustrations is absolutely guaranteed. I can pay for the illustrations."

No matter how high the illustration fee is, Xu Qingru can afford it because the illustrator is herself.

"Teacher Xu Nuo, this is not necessary. Our "Youth Festival" magazine still attaches great importance to illustrating novels. If the other party's illustrations are good enough, our magazine will also pay the corresponding fees." Su Man said grandly.

After all, "Youth Festival" magazine is a well-known magazine in the industry. The royalties for both novels and illustrations are quite high, and the reputation is very good. Only in this way can more talented authors be attracted to submit articles to the magazine.

When Xu Qingru saw this kind of information from the other party, of course, he immediately had a better impression of the magazine "Youth Festival". The manuscript fee offered by the other party for "5 Centimeters Per Second" reached 300 words per thousand, which was twice as much as for "Fragments of Time".

The price is up!

Editor-in-chief Su Manwen is obviously determined to win "Teacher Promise". She believes that although he has just entered the industry, his talent is enough to match such a thousand-word price.

As for the price of illustrations, it reaches 600 per piece. If it is a well-known illustrator in the industry, the price soars to 1,000, which is not too high.

Xu Qingru is naturally quite satisfied with the price. She not only wants to earn artistic value, but also save as much money as possible in her coffers. At critical moments, money can play a huge role.

In this way, the novel and illustrations for "Five Centimeters Per Second" were settled.

Xu Qingru now has a lot of free time. She can draw the illustration at any time and send it to Su Manwen. She doesn't believe that "expert-level" painting skills will fail the draft.

After finishing dealing with the serialized novel, Xu Qingru checked the popularity of the song "Under the Sea" that she released under the name "Qingge".

She found that the popularity of this song had slowly died down as time went by after the comic "Youth Love Song" was completed.

After all, the original version of "Under the Sea" is too depressing. Although many listeners think it is particularly pleasant to listen to, they really can't bear the feeling that the more they listen to it, the more heartbroken it becomes!

Xu Qingru did reap a lot of literary and artistic value through this version of "Under the Sea" and the tragic character "Li Ke", but it did not become popular because of the style of the work.

In this case, she happened to have upgraded her "singing" skills to "expert level". As the "most aesthetic goddess" and "the most beautiful literary goddess", she has recently received a lot of traffic due to the hype of marketing accounts.

.

Then it's time for her to produce a cover version of Phoenix Legend's "Under the Sea" to warm up those listeners who were depressed by "Qingge".

Xu Qingru just did what she said. Anyway, her home was complete with musical instruments and a special music studio. Her father was her music fan, so it was great. All conditions were created for her. Even the money for producing songs was covered by her parents.

Already.

They don't care whether Xu Qingru's songs make money or not. As long as her works can bring them spiritual happiness, they will support her.

In this way, Phoenix Legend's cover version of "Under the Sea" was successfully produced by Xu Qingru, and then handed over to her tool brother, who could edit the video more perfectly and add some appropriate filters, allowing her to

If the person looks better in the video, the entire video will of course be more attractive.

Xu Qingru in the video, this time changed into the classic JK uniform at home, with a short skirt and over-the-knee socks, revealing her absolute realm. For some dead nerds, this is simply a killer!

Anyway, Xu Qingru's brother Xu Mingwei was shocked by his sister's extremely rare two-dimensional female high school student dress...

In fact, Xu Qingru herself enjoys it, because her current aesthetic, after being injected with male memories, has become very capable of hitting men's XP. She is very good at controlling all kinds of pantyhose and over-the-knee socks. She knows how to die.

Stay home!

This video with the benefits of a beautiful girl and a singing voice is certainly much more attractive than the original version of "Under the Sea" by "Qingge". After all, the original version only has a simple song. If it weren't for Chen Mengguo, the original author of the comic, it would be so powerful

Publicity, maybe it won’t even get the initial popularity.

"Qing Ge" is an "amateur" and "independent musician" who has not signed a contract with any record company and has not yet shown his face. It is very difficult for him to become popular.

Xu Qingru thinks that "Qing Ge" is very suitable for having a leather man to start a live broadcast and serve as a virtual anchor. It just so happens that she can now draw her own leather man, and she will continue to rely on her brother for technical aspects...
