Chapter 677: Help Me Sign It
In 1977, the National Publishing Administration issued a notice on trial implementation of the remuneration and subsidy measures for press and publications, restoring and abolishing the 10-year remuneration system. 2 to 7 yuan per 1,000 characters, and 1 to 5 yuan per 1,000 words for translations.
This year, the party group of the State Publishing Bureau formulated a new remuneration standard, which appropriately increased the basic remuneration and returned to the previous level. Printing remuneration, printing remuneration, 20,000 copies per printed volume, 5 of the basic manuscript remuneration for every 10,000 copies.
Among them, the poems are calculated according to ten lines and one thousand words, so there is no need to worry about writing poems. If it is true that every word is deducted, every poet in the country will be counted as one, and all of them will starve to death.
It should be noted that this is only the basic manuscript fee. Large-scale journals like Harvest Magazine have a large number of prints and are located in a big city like Shanghai. The funds are more generous, and the standards for payment of manuscript remuneration are higher than the average level; Especially excellent works, or works of well-known writers, can be given 30 thousand characters or more.
Shen Long's article on Yellow Land has a total of more than 12,000 words, the amount on the remittance slip is more than 300 points, and the Harvest magazine is given at the standard of 25 yuan per thousand words, which is as good as Shen Long's moving bricks. Half a year's income is higher than the one-year salary of young people who have just started working.
Even compared to Sun Shaoan who opened a brick kiln, Sun Shaoan and Xiulian only earn six or seven hundred yuan a month, and he can write more than one or two novels a month.

It can be said that it is the best stage of life for writers in recent years. Relatively high manuscript fees and low prices have made literature the dream of a large number of aspiring young people. Wang Anyi, Zhang Kangkang, Wang Xiaobo, Shi Tiesheng, Bi Feiyu, Gu Hua, Chen Zhongshi, Jia Pingwa and others all entered the literary world in this era.
In the next few years, the manuscript fee will increase, adjusted to 6 yuan and 20 yuan per 1,000 words for a manuscript, and 4 yuan and 14 yuan per 1,000 words for a translation manuscript.
In the 1990s, the good days of writers were over, and prices continued to rise. Although the basic remuneration has increased compared with the original, the remuneration for articles with the same number of words can buy fewer and fewer things. Until the 21st century For the first time, there are very few writers who can work full-time at this stage.
Almost all of those writers were members of the Writers Association or the Academy of Literary Arts, with a stable salary, and the manuscript fee was another income, otherwise they would not be able to support themselves with the manuscript fee alone.
But these are not problems for Shen Long at all, he has already left the stage of worrying about money, he can completely let himself, the Sun family, and Tian Xiaoxia live a prosperous life.
The next day, Shen Long talked to the contractor, left a little earlier, and arrived at the business hall before the post office got off work, and handed the remittance slip to the little girl behind the counter. Seeing him dressed as a laborer, the little girl Slightly disgusted, he said casually without raising his head, "Just wait."
At this time, there is no talk of smiling service, no matter where you go to do business, don't try to have a good face, unless you have a different identity and people can recognize it at a glance.
"Withdraw money, right? I don't know if you'll come here earlier, you'll come here soon after get off work." The little girl muttered, and glanced casually at the unit and the amount on the remittance slip, three hundred and thirteen five yuan , Harvest Magazine, manuscript fee?
Um? Royalties? The little girl was stunned for a moment. Now that the policy has been relaxed, more people are doing business outside. It's not like she hasn't seen a large remittance slip before.
But it was the first time I saw the manuscript fee. The little girl turned around and greeted her colleagues, "Brother Liu, isn't that magazine you usually read is Harvest? Someone has come to collect the manuscript fee from Harvest magazine."
"Wei Hong, you must have read it wrong. It has been a long time since no one in Huangyuan has been able to publish an article on Harvest. I'm afraid it's not Huangyuan's literature and art?" A polite young man wearing glasses said casually behind him, hey, that's not right. , even if Wei Hong just went to work, it is impossible to treat two characters as four characters, right? Could it be that everyone has a new work?
He quickly stood up and looked around. Nowadays, literary youth is a very popular title. There are a few young and middle-aged people in that unit who love reading and thinking about writing. His eyes flashed past Shen Long. He really couldn't help it Connect this job seeker with a writer who can write articles that appear in Harvest.
"Here, look, it's the harvest." Wei Hong handed him the remittance slip, and the eye-catching words on it almost blinded his eyes. This is a harvest. If I can publish an article on it, Hongmei won't ... At this time, being a writer is also a status that can be admired by women.
"Really, that teacher came to collect the manuscript fee? I will help you!" Liu Jianguo hurriedly pushed the little girl aside and searched again, but looking at the people outside, no one looked like a writer.
"I don't dare to be a teacher. I'm here to collect the manuscript fee." Shen Long took out the letter of introduction issued by Shuangshui Village. The ID card will not start to be piloted in some big cities until four years later, and now it all depends on the letter of introduction or original household registration. own identity.
Liu Jianguo was stunned for a moment before accepting the letter of introduction. After carefully comparing the name on it with the name on the remittance slip, he was sure that the job hunter in front of him was really the owner of the remittance slip.
"Sun... Mr. Sun, are you here to experience life?" Liu Jianguo turned his mind several times before he found such a reason. No wonder he can publish an article on Harvest to see his attitude to experience life!
"Forget it, can you please help me to hurry up? It's almost time to get off work, right?" Shen Long urged.
"It's okay, it's okay, even if I'm off work, I have to take care of it for you!" Liu Jianguo smiled, turned his head and began to scold the people behind, telling them that they don't need to line up, and they are already off work today.
"Mr. Sun, wait a moment, I'll get you a glass of water, and I'll finish it for you right away." Although he looks younger than himself, but people can publish articles on Harvest, so they have to call the teacher.
Liu Jianguo washed his cup with hot water several times, took out the tea from the drawer that he had entertained the leader, and steeped it for Shen Long. One yuan for the tractor and fifty cents for a textile factory.
"Thank you!" Shen Long took the banknote and thanked him, and Liu Jianguo took out another notebook and handed it to him, "Mr. Sun, sign it for me!"
