The first Tianjiao Xinghuo Cup Essay Contest selected many outstanding talents for Xinghuo magazine and publishing house.
In addition to the prize money set by the competition, after the competition, Tianjiao bought the copyrights of the works of more than ten authors, enriching Tianjiao's copyright library. As long as the time is right, Tianjiao will adapt these works!
At the same time, the works of the winning contestants in the novel group were published one after another by Chengdu Literature and Art Publishing House, which benefited the authors and the publishing house also achieved results.
No one would have thought that this bastard Bao Lixin, who had been the editor-in-chief of Rongcheng Literature and Art Publishing House for a short time, had achieved such "outstanding results" - not only did he force out the best-selling author Wen Ying, but he also resigned from Rongcheng Literature and Art Publishing House and poached several authors that the publishing house discovered through a writing competition!
It was only then that everyone realized that Editor-in-Chief Bao was always on business trips not just to avoid Yuan Fenghui.
Wen Ying does not accept Bao Lixin's theory of "profit first, literature second", but some other authors can accept it.
They are all young writers. Why can Wen Ying gain both fame and fortune, while they can only take advantage of the reader market that slips through Wen Ying's fingers?
Under Bao Lixin's instigation, several authors followed Bao Lixin and left, taking away the new books that were originally intended to be handed over to Rongcheng Literature and Art Publishing House. Once this incident came out, Rongcheng Literature and Art Publishing House had no choice but to swallow the bitter pill!
I heard that the leader who recruited Bao Lixin now wants to bang his head on the table every day.
Wen Ying, a top writer, terminated her contract, and several mid-level writers also left. The loss was too heavy. We finally made achievements in the youth literature market in the past two years, but most of the achievements collapsed in an instant. What should we do in the future?
Even Xie Qian, who usually didn't like to meddle in other people's affairs, couldn't help but frown after hearing Wen Ying's words.
Whether it is Rongcheng Literature and Art Publishing House or "Xinghuo" magazine, they are all the result of the hard work of Xie Qian's mother Zou Weijun.
Although Zou Weijun resigned on his own initiative, he was more forced by reality. What Zou Weijun really loves is the publishing industry, not the intrigue in a big company like "Kumho".
Xie Qian hoped that Wen Ying could switch to a better and more suitable publishing house, but he also didn't want Rongcheng Literature and Art Publishing House to decline... Slowly, Xie Qian's frown relaxed:
"Suddenly experiencing this kind of change will cause Rongcheng Literature and Art Publishing House to experience some turmoil, but it's unlikely to be completely devastated. With your departure, Bao Lixin also took several authors with him, which will give other authors the opportunity to rise. As long as Spark remains unaffected, authors will soon emerge!"
Ni Sisi is not bad in ability, but she lost because of her lack of experience.
Bao Lixin caused such a scene, which was a bad thing for others, but not necessarily for Ni Sisi.
Xie Qian felt that Xiao Niu's opportunity had come, and so had the opportunities for other authors who contributed to "Xinghuo".
If it really doesn’t work, let’s start the second essay competition as soon as possible!
Wen Ying felt a little relieved: "I hope the little salamander can hold on."
There is no way if you don't hold on.
Wen Ying could still write short stories for "Spark", but she lost the opportunity to cooperate with Rongcheng Literature and Art Publishing House in the short term - the Shanghai side was afraid that Wen Ying would go back on her word, so they not only signed the contract early, but also transferred a prepayment of 5 million to Wen Ying's bank account.
It's not easy to get these 5 million. If Wen Ying breaks the contract, she will have to pay three times the penalty to Magic City Literature and Art Publishing House, a full 15 million!
If it weren't for the desire to make a fortune in the A-share bull market in 2007, Wen Ying really didn't want to accept the 5 million advance payment from Modu Literature and Art Publishing House.
At school, Wen Ying was worried about Xiao Niu.
In the magazine's office, Xiao Niu was calling the magazine's contracted authors one by one.
Just as Xie Qian said, as long as "Xinghuo" magazine is fine, there will be no major problems on the publishing side.
Wen Ying and several mid-level authors jumped ship, and other authors needed to be appeased. Fortunately, Xiao Niu and Zou Weijun had similar ideas and had put in a lot of effort in their daily work, so there was no need to cram at the last minute.
Familiar authors have basically given Xiao Niu accurate answers.
Xiao Niu's active urging for submissions also gave the authors confidence.
It seems that Spark magazine was not greatly affected?
That’s great!
"Xinghuo" magazine has a large circulation and pays generous royalties, so authors who write short stories don't want to move away easily.
Only by contributing to the same magazine steadily can you have the opportunity to move from writing short stories to writing long stories.
For example, Liang He, the female author who jumped over from the previous "Aige", almost went astray and gave false testimony to Han Qin. After Liang He repented in court, Xiao Niu put aside their past grudges and asked Liang He to write an article.
After the publication of "Xinghuo", Liang He would submit articles to "Xinghuo" for every issue. She would only submit articles to other magazines if "Xinghuo" clearly stated that it would not accept them.
At the beginning, Liang He had her manuscripts accepted every other issue, but gradually her manuscripts were published in every issue, and the royalties she received from "Xinghuo" became higher and higher.
Liang He's popularity is far less than Wen Ying's, but because her works appear in every issue of "Xing Huo", readers of "Xing Huo" are familiar with the pen name "Liang He". Liang He, who has been writing for so many years without much success, has now made a great breakthrough in her writing skills. Xiao Niu has already asked Liang He to serialize a long manuscript -
In the QQ author group, friends were all congratulating Liang He for making it.
In reality, Liang He had just finished a call with Xiao Niu.
Can you make it through?
Liang He felt excited.
First serialize, then publish, this is the path that Xiao Niu set for Liang He.
Xiao Niu encouraged Liang He to write his own story. A good author may not be recognized for his talent for a while but he will not be unappreciated for his talent all his life. Imitating popular authors can make quick money, but writing what you are good at and what you really want to write can go further!
In the QQ group, the author friends congratulated Liang He on being valued and expected to become the "second Wen Ying". Liang He couldn't help but think of Bao Lixin, the editor-in-chief of the publishing house who had just resigned.
