The public's impression of "author" has been subtly shaped over the years.
An author with poor character will not produce good works!
As for the author, or what the character of the literati should be like, works such as "On the Love of Lotus" and "Praise of the Humble Dwelling" have been deeply rooted in people's hearts and have already given the answer.
A greasy middle-aged man like Song Foxiang, because he still has some literary integrity, his other shortcomings can be ignored, and it does not hinder Editor-in-Chief Song from being invincible in the love field.
"Fish Going Against the Current" can use any excuse to delay submission, but it chose to use it to threaten the magazine to increase the manuscript fee. How can readers accept this?
——What kind of author is he if he is obsessed with money?
We are not in the era of flourishing self-media yet. Traditional media dominates the direction of public opinion, and print media has a very high credibility in the minds of readers. Not to mention youth literature magazines like "Aige", even some gossip magazines have many followers. Paparazzi make up all kinds of fake news to increase sales. Every year, a Hong Kong superstar is "rumored to have died", forcing the superstar to hold a press conference to clarify and prove to fans that he is still alive.
Only a superstar can hold a press conference to clarify things. How can a small author like "Fish Against the Current" clarify things?
Han Qin's move not only disgusted Wen Ying and Zou Weijun, but she also wanted to ruin the pen name "Fish Against the Current", and even cast a shadow on the unpublished "Teenage Idol".
"Aige" will no longer cooperate with "Niu Chang De Yu". If other similar magazines receive submissions from this pseudonym, they will probably have to consider whether they will follow in the footsteps of "Aige".
Changing the pen name is one solution.
But what about Teen Idol?
The first 180,000 words of this book have already been serialized in magazines and are content that has been made public. Even if it is released under a different title, readers will still recognize it!
Zou Weijun doesn’t think that this is the idea of the editorial department of "Aige". A magazine with a good circulation should not be so narrow-minded, right?
But if Han Qin is trying to sow discord, it is normal for the magazine to be dissatisfied with Wen Ying.
Zou Weijun had been following the developments of "Aige", so he discovered this matter first. At this time, Wen Ying was still in seclusion writing and was not concerned about what was happening in the outside world.
Although Zou Weijun stipulated that the manuscript should be submitted on the 15th, Wen Ying thought that if she finished writing it earlier, she could revise it several times. Although the general plot of the story would not change, the details would become more and more perfect with each revision.
Zou Weijun knew that Wen Ying was in seclusion writing articles. After discovering the termination statement of "Aige", she did not look for Wen Ying immediately, but tried to contact the magazine again - just like her previous calls, either no one answered, or the call was hung up after she introduced herself!
Zou Weijun made a prompt decision and went to see the department leader.
The boss looked at the termination statement in the magazine, his eyebrows knitted together: "Xiao Zou, is there some misunderstanding?"
We are all in the same industry, so it is normal for colleagues to poach authors. The author will sign a contract with whoever offers better conditions. This is also the rule in the industry.
If you can't offer a high price, at least you can play the emotional card with the author.
If neither of them turned out well, how can you blame the author for signing someone else?
The author is also a human being, and as a human being he has normal emotions and desires.
The leaders were very satisfied that Zou Weijun was able to snatch "Teenage Idol" from "Aige" - since Xiao Zou is motivated, he should release it to the outside world. If he is not given a channel to vent, Xiao Zou will go to war with his own people.
In normal competition, there are definitely winners and losers. Zou Weijun won this time, and the magazine lost... But the publishing department leaders were unhappy that the magazine was so frivolous.
"Teenage Idol" has been signed, and the publishing department is counting on it to be a big hit. The leaders don't dare to think about it selling 1 million copies, but if it can sell more than 100,000 copies, it can be considered an achievement of the department this year!
This statement from "Aige" is not only intended to discredit the author "Ni Liu De Yu", but also to ruin the project "Teenage Idol"!
When Zou Weijun explained the whole story, the leader's brows furrowed even tighter, so tight that they could pinch a fly to death.
"We can't let them have the final say!"
Zou Weijun felt relieved. She was most afraid that her leader would be afraid of trouble and would directly give up the publication of "Teenage Idol". After all, everything was just preliminary planning now. Although the contract had been signed, Wen Ying had not been paid yet. The publishing department would not suffer much loss if they gave up.
"You're right! We can't let them have the final say on this matter. 'Teenage Idol' is our next key project. If they make a statement like this, readers will probably reject this book before it even hits the market!"
It’s not like Aige is the only magazine that can issue a statement.
Behind "Aige" is the Shandong Provincial Publishing Group, which, like the Chengdu Publishing Group, is a local media giant.
Zou Weijun meant that the publishing department had to provide Wen Ying with a platform to speak out and not let the other party have the final say on whatever they wanted.
"Besides, I want to sue Egger for libel on behalf of the author!"
The leader nodded seriously, "We should sue them, we should sue them, and make them pay!"
——What did I say just now? I have to give Xiao Zou a channel to vent. Letting Xiao Zou fight outsiders is better than Xiao Zou starting a war within the organization.
Xiao Zou, you are the one who reports a colleague for sexual harassment over a disagreement. Aige wants to discredit the authors signed by Xiao Zou. Isn't it just to force Xiao Zou to roll up his sleeves and fight?
Zou Weijun got a satisfactory answer and walked out of the leader's office with the magazine.
Ever since she reported Song Foxiang and Editor Wan last time, her work in the publishing department seems to be getting smoother and smoother.
I've never found a leader so easy to talk to before.
Zou Weijun's high heels clicked, and the Mediterranean editor came forward with his tail between his legs and licking his face: "Xiao Zou, are you in trouble? We are colleagues, I can help!"
Looking at Editor Wan's shiny bald spot, Zou Weijun looked alert.
Editor Wan swore and said he had no ill intentions: "I just wanted to make up for my last mistake. Honestly, I don't dare to have any bad intentions."
Editor Wan has already learned about Zou Weijun's background from Song Foxiang.
Editor-in-Chief Song ignores General Manager Xie, but Editor Wan doesn't have the confidence that Editor-in-Chief Song has.
Editor Wan has always wanted to do something to make up for his previous reckless behavior. "Aige" is like a pillow given to the sleepy Editor Wan.
"Xiao Zou, I'm older than you and have more industry experience. Of course, I'm not trying to act like a senior in front of you. I just want to say what a great opportunity this is. How did 'Hush, Little Secret,' the show you planned and published, become so popular? Wouldn't it be great if 'Teen Idol' could follow suit and use the same process? If you ask me, you should be thankful that 'Aige' went crazy. We wanted to put on a show but couldn't find each other, but 'Aige' set the stage!"
Not only did he set up the stage, he also played the clown himself. "Aige" made great sacrifices and was very willing to contribute to Xiao Zou's career.
