Chapter 48 Jealous Bogut
After Kevin got out of the car, he called Wall, and then Wall came out and took Kevin into the Red Lantern Tavern.
Regarding whether this tavern was opened by a Chinese, Kevin also asked Wall, and Wall told him that it was not opened by a Chinese, but a Japanese.
This cultural salon of “Times Weekly” was held in the lobby on the third floor of the Red Lantern Tea House. When Kevin walked to the door, he really felt a literary atmosphere. The hall was filled with ancient poems, and Kevin probably glanced at them, and some of them were by Shakespeare.
And all the decorations in it are also arranged in the field of literature and art. It really deserves to be a cultural salon. When you are here, a breath of culture has come to your face.
“Time” invited about 30 writers to participate in this year’s Cultural Salon. These 30 writers are from various places in the UK, but Wall told Kevin that only Kevin came from Edinburgh. This gave Kevin a small sense of pride.
These thirty writers have already arrived here. After all, Kevin is the last one to arrive. Kevin followed Wall and found that ten of the thirty writers were women. And none of them are pretty.
But at this time, in addition to the beauty, he also found a familiar figure. Yes, it was the man who just paid him the taxi fare. The man who just laughed at him for not being qualified to participate in the noble cultural salon. So Kevin walked over and greeted each other.
“Hi, friend, we meet again.” Kevin patted the other person on the shoulder, and said.
The man turned around, his entire face filled with surprise.
“You… why are you here too. Oh, I remember Wall said that he has a nephew who will come over today, in order to learn how to write an article. Could it be that you are Wall’s nephew?” Man Tao.
“No, friend, I am not Wall’s nephew. I am also a writer, and I am also here to participate in this cultural salon.” Kevin said seriously.
“What? You say it again.” The man couldn’t believe his ears. You must know that a few minutes ago, he laughed at Kevin and said that this was a noble event attended by cultural people. If he appeared, it would arouse ridicule from others. But now Kevin has indeed appeared here.
“My friend, I am also a writer, and I think I am also here to participate in this cultural salon. I am glad to meet you again. Oh, thank you for paying the taxi fare for me just now.” Kevin said affirmatively.
“How is it possible? I have been participating in the culture salon of Time Magazine for five years. In these five years, I have never seen you, and I have never heard Wall and others say it.” The man said.
This man is Bogut, one of the columnists of Time Magazine. Before Time Magazine signed Kevin to write a column, there was only one column called “Talking about Life”. All articles in this column were written by Bogu. of.
Bogut has also accumulated a lot of fans in “Time”, so many people buy “Time” to read his articles. It is precisely because of this that Bogut has become a frequent visitor of Time Magazine’s cultural salon.
The fact is as Bogut said, he is familiar with many editors and editors of Time. Over the years, every time I participate in this cultural salon, I have booked a list in advance and announced to each other. Bogut also saw the names of the people who participated today, although not all of them are familiar with them, but they still know them by and large.
How could this young guy appear here? Is he a writer? But what excellent work can you write at such a young age? What effect can it have on Time Magazine?
Wall was just busy talking to a writer and didn’t notice that Kevin was talking to Bogut. Now that I got back to my senses, I was also very surprised.
“Kevin, do you know Bogut? That’s great. You two happened to be contributors to the two columns of Time Magazine, and now you also know each other. Then I will lose the effort to introduce them.” Wall said.
“No, Mr. Wall, Mr. Bogut and I were just riding in the same taxi before we set off. We didn’t know each other.” Kevin explained.
“What, dear Mr. Wall, did you just say that the other party was a column contributor to Time Magazine? Didn’t Time Magazine always have only one column? Isn’t this column always written by me? When will it become two? A column?” Bogut wondered.
“Oh, this was decided by the company today. Now the sales of Time Magazine are good, so we decided to add one more column to meet the needs of major readers. This column is written by Kevin.” Wall Explained.
“What? He wrote it? Mr. Wall, are you sure you and your company are not confused? Open a column for this young boy?” Bogut felt incomprehensible.
What I say is also a well-known writer, and it was because of writing a lot of articles for “Times” that he became a columnist. Now Kevin opened a column for him at a young age, which naturally made Bogut puzzled.
“Yes, Bogut, I think this is a good choice. Kevin is a very talented writer, and his “Jane Eyre” is also selling very well in the market, and there are also a number of them. Loyal readers.” Wall said affirmatively.
“But for such a young writer, it is a bit sloppy to set up a column for him to write a manuscript. You must know that young writers have a lot of instability.” Bogut said.
“No, respected Mr. Bogut, Kevin’s talent is very stable. Then you will find that his brain seems to be full of inspiration and never exhausts.”
“Well, I hope that “Time” won’t lose a lot of sales because of this.”
Even Wall has said so, and Bogut can’t say anything At most, he just feels upset. But he has reason to believe that the readers of Time Magazine always come for his own articles, and he does not need to be jealous for a newcomer. Besides, when the column for Kevin did not attract readers, Time Magazine will definitely regret it. They will also get rid of this column.
“Okay, I’m going to talk to a few friends about things, you guys get to know each other first. Maybe there will be more opportunities to contact in the future.”
Wall finished. Then walked towards the other side.
After Wall walked away, Bogut said: “Guy, facts will prove that I am the gold medal writer of Time Magazine.”
“Sorry, Mr. Bogut, I have no intention of fighting for these or those things with you. The reason why I promised to write a manuscript for Time Magazine was entirely on the face of Wall. After all, when others doubted me, he used to Called to encourage me.” Kevin explained.
“It doesn’t matter, then you will know that there are no readers to write to you.”
The letters from readers mentioned by Bogut refer to the fact that after purchasing Time Magazine, readers feel that a certain writer’s literature touched him, or the writing is more exciting, and then these readers will write to Time Magazine, and In the letter, he praised the writer’s writing style and talent.
Bogut has written articles in Time Magazine for so many years, and has received many letters from such readers over the years. This is part of what he has always been proud of.
Therefore, he has reason to believe that even if Time Magazine opens a column for Kevin, he will always receive the most letters from readers.
