Chapter 675: The Future of Literature, Unfazed by Favor or Disgrace



Young people like Wen Ying can remain calm in the face of praise or criticism.

It's funny that an elderly man's emotions were like a roller coaster and he even ended up in the hospital.

Netizens originally thought that Mr. Fu was "indistinguishable" from some others, but now they find them ridiculous and cannot even compare to Wen Ying, an underage writer!

It is Wen Ying's stability beyond her age that gives the contestants great confidence.

In any competition, no one wants to encounter extremely emotional judges. It goes without saying that when the judges are in a good mood, it's natural, but if they are in a bad mood, can they still judge everyone's entries fairly?

Emotional stability is a basic quality for a judge. Wen Ying's composure in the face of praise or criticism really changed the minds of some contestants who were originally skeptical.

With Mr. Fu's recognition and Wen Ying's own performance, under the dual influence of external and internal factors, the anti-fish wave was completely calmed down.

Everyone around Wen Ying was very happy. Wen Dongrong liked everything about her, and Chen Ru also secretly called Wu Chunqin to express her gratitude.

"Actually, I didn't help much. It's mainly because your girl is so hardworking. I've asked around before, and Mr. Fu is a very principled senior. If he doesn't like Wen Ying's work, then no matter how much money the publishing house or film and television company spends, they won't be able to impress him. So, there's actually no need for me to do anything. Once Mr. Fu speaks up, Wen Ying's dilemma will naturally be solved!"

It's not that Wu Chunqin didn't help, it's just that Mr. Fu's friends and relatives were too powerful, so the two critics Wu Chunqin found seemed insignificant. It was Mr. Fu who came to Wen Ying's rescue, and what Wu Chunqin did was at most icing on the cake. This made it impossible for Wu Chunqin to accept Chen Ru's gratitude calmly.

Wu Chunqin was being modest, and Chen Ru certainly wouldn't agree with her old classmate.

Of course Mr. Fu is a very good person, but Wu Chunqin has no obligation to help Wen Ying. If you are not grateful to Wu Chunqin now, then you are really arrogant!

"Chunqin, don't be so modest. I will always remember all your help. When your family comes to Rongcheng, I must treat you well!"

Chen Ru now has the confidence to entertain old friends.

Although they are not as rich as Wu Chunqin, the family of three all have their own "careers" and it is not shameful to receive friends of any status.

Wu Chunqin agreed immediately and said that if she couldn't come during this winter vacation, she would come during next May Day and she would definitely bring her husband and children to Chengdu. Only then was Chen Ru satisfied.

Before hanging up the phone, Chen Ru repeatedly emphasized that she hoped Wu Chunqin could keep the matter confidential.

Wu Chunqin laughed: "You care about Wen Ying, but you don't let Wen Ying know. How can the relationship between mother and daughter be close?"

Chen Ru said stubbornly, "Why do we need to be so close? If we get too close, she'll become lawless!"

——It seems that Ms. Wen has lost all her prestige, and the family still depends on her to support it.

Wu Chunqin couldn't persuade Chen Ru, so she could only agree with a smile.

Every family has its own way of getting along. Chen Ru wants to be a strict mother, and Wu Chunqin cannot force her own ideas on Chen Ru.

A person can influence another person imperceptibly, but cannot ask others to do everything according to their own ideas. Chen Ru is Wu Chunqin's old classmate, not Wu Chunqin's puppet!

"Public opinion has completely shifted. Only a few netizens are still stubbornly refusing to admit their mistakes. Don't pay any attention to them. They are either nitpickers or someone's hired troll army."

Yuan Fenghui was summarizing.

There are still some dissenting voices on the Internet, but they are harmless.

There will always be people who argue, and it is impossible for everyone to be convinced. As long as the big wave is suppressed, a little bit of opposition will not be a big deal.

Those little bit of opposition is just the right thing to do to make the competition more visible, so that the essay writing competition can always be active in the public eye and maintain the popularity of the competition!

So no matter whether it was a nitpicker or someone's hired internet trolls, Yuan Fenghui was not angry and wanted to give the other party a red envelope to express his gratitude.

This time, Wen Ying was under a lot of pressure. If it were another girl, she would have felt very wronged. However, Wen Ying was still able to study and live as usual, and even did a good job as a judge.

The manuscript has been reviewed for the most part. This is the result of the work of Wen Ying and Zhang Guangzhen.

Yuan Fenghui repeatedly emphasized Wen Ying's hard work, which made Wen Ying feel a little embarrassed:

"I also took advantage of it. Aunt Zou said that the sales of 'Teenage Idol' are up again."

As of the first sales quarter on October 31, 2005, "Teen Idol" sold copies in three months.

After the excitement of the essay contest, "Teenage Idol" was reprinted for the third time. The real-time sales data has not yet been fully counted, but according to Zou Weijun's inference, the essay contest can at least increase the sales of "Teenage Idol" by 200,000 on the basis of the original sales.

What does an extra 200,000 sales mean? That’s nearly 900,000 in pre-tax royalty income!

That's a lot of money.

In Chengdu, you can choose any kind of housing except villas.

In first-tier cities like Beijing and Shanghai, you can buy a house if you are not particularly picky about the location and size of the house.

When everyone thought of this, their sympathy for Wen Ying immediately turned into envy.

Even though he was scolded a lot, he actually had the money in his pocket. This is what is called "there is gain after loss". Let Song Foxiang and Editor Wan choose. They both want to enjoy this "gain and loss" on behalf of Wen Ying!

Xie Qian's throat had long since recovered. Xie Qian's whereabouts that weekend were an unspoken "secret" between him and Wen Ying. Mr. Fu's article set the tone for both Wen Ying and the essay competition. The media has always been adept at adapting to changing circumstances. Now, when Wen Ying is mentioned, she is the "future of the literary world," and when the essay competition is mentioned, it is also a major event in the literary world. The change in public opinion has disappointed some people who secretly want to see a joke.

For example, Han Qin, who switched careers to become a freelance writer.

The old writer was so angry that he fell ill. Mr. Fu supported Wen Ying and the match. Han Qin wanted to continue to criticize them, but the articles criticizing the match or Wen Ying suddenly could not be approved by the newspaper editor.

The general trend of public opinion has changed, how can we still criticize?

Han Qin was so angry that she wanted to vomit blood.

What does that mean? Is she going to turn around and write an article praising someone's achievements?

impossible!

At most, I won’t earn any royalties from this article!

She wouldn't starve to death because of not having royalties for the time being, but Han Qin couldn't swallow the anger in her heart.

How much money did Zou Weijun spend to invite Mr. Fu to come out of retirement?

Rongcheng Publishing Group was too willing to spend money, and was particularly good at holding back its bad intentions, waiting until the very last moment to announce the news that Mr. Fu was a judge - ah ah ah, how could they be so bad!

Han Qin was very depressed.

Fortunately, she is younger than the old writer, otherwise she would have to follow the old writer and be hospitalized.

Wen Hongyan and Shu Lu, mother and daughter, who were in the countryside, received information more slowly. They did not see Mr. Fu's article first. Even if they did, they did not know what Mr. Fu's words meant. They only knew that after only a few days, the newspapers no longer criticized the essay competition and Wen Ying.

The newspaper said Wen Ying was the future of the literary world... Shu Lu was so angry that she burst into tears: Wen Ying has had everything since she was a child. Is God really so partial to her? Why did those critics who criticized Wen Ying suddenly disappear?!
