“…That’s roughly the situation.”
If you want to know about the character of an old writer in the industry, you can't go wrong looking for Jiang Xuekun.
How can we criticize Mr. Wen Ying? In Jiang Xuekun's opinion, he is not a person of bad character, but Jiang Xuekun's evaluation of him is "stubborn". Yes, he is the kind of person who becomes more stubborn as he gets older!
The younger generations cannot really roll up their sleeves and fight with these elderly seniors. When faced with criticism from the older seniors, there seems to be no other way but to accept it.
The essay competition is beneficial to "Xinghuo" magazine, to Chengdu Literature and Art Publishing House, and even to enhancing the presence of the entire Chengdu Publishing Group.
It is also beneficial to Wen Ying. Since the promotional video was broadcast, the sales of "Teenage Idol" have climbed again. When the news of Wen Ying being a judge was released, the stocks of "Teenage Idol" in some bookstores were sold out.
Previously, no one knew who the judges were, so they could only study the works published in the first issue of "Spark" and try to get closer to the judges' aesthetic standards. These smart people were right, as it was the magazine editors who gave the preliminary classification and scoring to the manuscripts!
Now that the news of Wen Ying being a judge has been announced, there has been a lot of doubt online. However, while being criticized, it has not affected the popularity of "Teenage Idol". Some people who are neither participating in the competition nor are Wen Ying's readers have gone to buy Wen Ying's book purely out of curiosity.
Since fame brings such great benefits to Wen Ying, Wen Ying has to bear negative pressure.
This is the truth, but Jiang Xuekun still felt embarrassed because everyone shared the benefits, and Wen Ying, a little girl, was put on the stage and attracted all the public opinion. This was unfair.
"You mean, Rongcheng Publishing Group will provide assistance? Considering their qualifications and status, the rebuttals of ordinary critics may not be effective?"
"Yes, unless someone very influential in the industry comes forward, in fact, if you hadn't called me today, I would have written it myself."
Xie Qian has always been good at grasping the key points. Jiang Xuekun said that he could personally support Wen Ying, but Xie Qian refused.
"Uncle Jiang, if you come forward, this matter will change."
Now many netizens are questioning why Wen Ying can be a judge. Jiang Xuekun, the general manager of Rongcheng Publishing Group, is a very important person, but this also makes those netizens think that they have found the truth and that Wen Ying can be a judge because she has a background in Rongcheng Publishing Group!
The title of "relative household" will be firmly attached to Wen Ying's head.
No matter how well Wen Ying's books sell in the future or how great her achievements are, a "connected person" can wipe out all her efforts.
Of course, Rongcheng Publishing Group is Wen Ying's backer, but this backer is not due to any close relationship, but because Wen Ying's books sell well, and she has the ability to plan large-scale events such as essay competitions. Ordinary best-selling authors cannot compare with Wen Ying - the greater the ability of a person, the more attention he will receive. Many people cannot understand this truth, and when something happens, they complain that they have been treated unfairly; some people understand it, but they also join in the fun, just to get some benefits.
Of course, these people are just ignorant, and there are even more vicious ones. They can see that Wen Ying is being strongly supported by the Rongcheng Publishing Group and is the pioneer of the Rongcheng Publishing Group in entering the youth literature market and the best-selling book market. Those people do not directly challenge the Rongcheng Publishing Group, but guide public opinion to focus on Wen Ying, criticize Wen Ying, and try to destroy Wen Ying!
Xie Qian could figure it out.
It was precisely because he understood that Xie Qian was particularly angry.
"Uncle Jiang, you shouldn't be the one to come forward. I've thought of a more suitable candidate. In terms of qualifications and literary status, he's even more qualified than that 'old senior' who's known for his stubborn temper."
Jiang Xuekun understood instantly: "Are you talking about Mr. Fu?"
"Yes, it's Mr. Fu. Mr. Fu agreed to be a judge for the competition, which means he doesn't mind writing competitions. Compared to others, Mr. Fu is at least not biased."
In fact, if Mr. Fu’s identity as a judge is directly announced, most of the outside world’s doubts about the Spark Cup Essay Competition will disappear.
The fact that Mr. Fu is willing to be a judge shows that he recognizes this competition.
Attacking the competition, isn't that just attacking Mr. Fu's choice? Mr. Fu has many students in the industry, and even the most idiot with the Iron Head Kung Fu wouldn't go against him.
But this only reversed the public's doubts about the competition. Judging from the current trend, Wen Ying will face even greater doubts and opposition.
Now, those people said they would not participate in the competition if Wen Ying was a judge.
By then, it might turn into an attack on Wen Ying, saying that she is not worthy of being on equal footing with Mr. Fu, and asking Wen Ying to resign from the position of judge.
These are still relatively mild opponents. Radical opponents will impose all kinds of public opinion violence on Wen Ying. It would be great if Mr. Fu could show his recognition of Wen Ying while serving as a judge. With Mr. Fu's recognition, Wen Ying's crisis will be easily resolved!
Xie Qian is really bold!
"Mr. Fu was able to be a judge because of your mother. If you stand up for Wen Ying again... it's a bit difficult, but I can try."
Jiang Xuekun did not think too highly of himself. After all, he was a big shot in the media industry. If he really wanted to risk his reputation and ask for help, Mr. Fu would probably agree.
As for face——
How can face be as important as substance?
Even if there was no relationship between Xie Qian and his mother, Wen Ying was an author that the publishing group valued very much. As a vested interest, Jiang Xuekun could not pretend to be ignorant and let Wen Ying bear the violence of public opinion alone.
"Uncle Jiang, I want to visit Mr. Fu in person."
"Um?!"
Although someone at Jiang Xuekun's level wouldn't be shocked by "premature love", is Xie Qian a little too obsessed with love?
Unexpectedly, the cold and lonely Xie Qian would have a day when he was obsessed with love. Jiang Xuekun suppressed his smile and pretended to be serious: "How do you want to convince Mr. Fu to come forward?"
