In the past year, Chu Li could be said to have turned a deaf ear to the outside world, focusing only on feeding her child, and her mind was only concerned with -
On X year X month X day, when Yue Li opened his mouth to speak, he called Dad first;
On X day of X month of X year, Yueli stood up from the sofa and moved to the coffee table to eat cake secretly;
On the day of the first month of the X year, he got a bow and arrow during the first month of the lunar calendar, which triggered his father's fantasy of sending him to the military academy to serve the motherland in the future.
It was X year X month X day again. Yueli climbed up from the sofa onto Er Gouzi's back, grabbed its ears and rode it around the house like a horse. I was afraid that he was about to fly to heaven...
All that was circulating in her head was the "I love your dad, I love your mom" from the iPad's "Little Wisdom Tree". She knew all the contemporary nursery rhymes by heart. As for the bloody storms outside, it seemed like she hadn't been exposed to them for a long time. She was almost turning herself into a fairy with a heart of a bodhisattva from nursing her baby.
At this moment, she was shocked to hear Ah Xiang's gossip about the accident of "The Last Whale of the Pacific". She grabbed her phone and asked subconsciously: "Who? Who is in trouble? What happened to Chuan Chuan?"
The next second, the man whose name she called popped his head out of the room and asked inexplicably, "What's wrong with me?"
Here, Zhu Yueli heard his father's voice, and he twisted his waist very flexibly and did a soul drift, and rushed towards his father with "quack" like a little duck - the pendants hanging on the walker made a crackling sound, and the walker hit Zhu Chuan's knees hard. Zhu Chuan didn't even twitch his eyebrows, he bent down, picked up his son from the walker, and patted his fat butt.
Zhao Yuelile excitedly pulled Zhao Chuan's hair - this hobby he inherited from his mother.
Chu Li glanced at the father and son, then reached out and handed the tissue in his hand to Zhe Chuan, asking him to wipe his son's saliva, then turned around and grabbed the phone: "A Xiang? Speak slowly, I'm confused. You just said something about "The Last Whale of the Pacific". What happened? Wasn't it selling well?"
Ah Xiang was not good at speaking. He ran out of the editorial office and called Chu Li as soon as he heard the news. However, he was so anxious that he could not explain himself. Finally, he said irresponsibly, "We are going to hold an emergency meeting. I am hiding in the toilet to tell you the news. Why don't you search the Internet for the details?"
"………………Oh, you can't even write a report properly, where are the keywords?"
Chu Li opened the laptop on the coffee table.
Ah Xiang: "'Tell it to Yuanyue Society.'"
Chu Li was stunned: "What?"
Ah Xiang: “Keywords!”
Chu Li was stunned: "Huh?"
I silently typed these few words into the Weibo search bar, and originally thought that a bunch of inexplicable things would pop up. But after pressing the search button and taking a closer look, I realized that the so-called keyword that Ah Xiang mentioned was a Weibo account with about 3,000 fans. The name of the account was: [Say to Yuanyueshe].
Chu Li: "..."
Chu Li clicked on this Weibo and took a look. She found that this Weibo was created no more than a day ago. It is a post-writing type of Weibo. The poster organizes and publishes screenshots of various anonymous readers' posts. All the posts are basically directed at Yuanyuesha and "The Last Whale of the Pacific"——
Chu Li immediately slammed the table and sighed: "It's so fashionable. There are so many evil people in Yuanyue Society that it has become a regular military organization... Why hasn't anyone sent me an invitation letter to become an honorary general?"
Zhuochuan heard Chuli's laughter and threw his son into the stroller to play by himself. He also came over, squeezed Chuli's side, squinted his eyes and bent over to read the meager content for a while, and roughly understood the whole story -
To put it simply, there is no problem with the original content of the book, and everything is fine with the binding, delivery, etc. The problem lies in the editor's introduction at the front - in the section where the editor introduces the two authors' past works, awards and honors, I don't know which editor had a bad brain and added this sentence: [Mr. Hermann's debut work, "Trails in the Sky Carved by Dragons", is also one of our familiar works. Although this work has not yet been translated into Chinese, it is a must-read for those who want to understand Mr. Herman. It is very well-known in Turkey and was even once rated as the "most valuable religious novel" in Turkey... Therefore, Mr. Herman successfully broke the barrier between religion and popular culture and became the "soul guide" in the hearts of the younger generation of Muslims. 】
Because most readers don’t read the author’s introduction before buying a book, it took more than ten days after the first 300,000 copies of The Last Whale of the Pacific were shipped for readers to discover the existence of this line of words:
Unfortunately, readers who are willing to read the author's biography in detail are definitely true readers who love the author terribly, so this reader naturally knows that Hermann himself is a non-religious person and refuses to mention the principles of the book "Trajectory of the Sky Carved by Dragons".
Therefore, this reader felt very different and confused about the appearance of such statements that were completely contrary to the author's will in such a large-scale regular publication as "The Last Whales of the Pacific"!
The reader immediately took a screenshot of this passage and sent a private message to the official Weibo account of Moonlight magazine, and the editor replied:
【Moonlight official magazine: That's right. We haven't heard of the problem you mentioned. Please don't believe in rumors. Everything is official! "Sky Trails Carved by Dragons" is a very good novel. I believe that veterans will be proud of it! 】
……………………………………This reply completely stirred up a hornet’s nest.
Reader: Where did this stupid editor come from!
Reader: How dare you question my love for my dad!!!
The reader was so angry that he almost jumped up, and immediately went to the Internet to collect a lot of Herman's speeches, interviews and press releases in public occasions.
The parts of the press release that mention Mr. Herman's resistance to mentioning "Sky Tracks Carved by Dragons" are all framed in red in the screenshots, and the translation is provided next to the pictures;
Provide Chinese translations for each interview;
All the videos were edited into a collection. After so many years, there are at least seven or eight shots, if not a dozen.
A freeze-frame of Mr. Herman's contemptuous, bewildered anger as he refers to the work...
Then he quickly posted this information to the official Weibo account of Moonlight magazine, with the following six words attached: I am not the ignorant one.
Since then, I accidentally offended a rare reader who can use Photoshop and embed words, climb over the wall to scrape foreign news, and is proficient in many languages. The editor of the official Weibo of "Moonlight" seemed to have his fingers chopped off and never responded again——
The irony is that any private message on Weibo that has been read will be marked as [read], especially pictures, which will only be shown as [read] after the buffer is opened. Not to mention the official Weibo, because the reader has been replied to before, the reader’s contribution will definitely not be in the [Private Messages from People You Don’t Follow], but in a separate private message column.
Various evidences show that the editor read the reader's submission, but then kept silent and played dead... This is very much in line with Yuanyueshe's basic style.
Chu Li saw this and asked with a mixture of laughter and tears: "Isn't it Liang Chonglang himself who is in charge of the official Weibo of Moonlight magazine now?"
Zhuo Chuan didn't say anything. Judging from the expression on his face, if Liang Chonglang himself was in front of him at this moment, Liang Chonglang would probably have been killed by him.
Chu Li had mentioned Herman's sensitive personal issues countless times before leaving his job. He even threatened the people at Yuanyue Publishing House on the day of his official resignation: "The last clause I added involves the author's reputation rights. Please pay attention to it. If there is a commotion, it will be no joke."
At that time, no one in Yuanyue Society seemed to care about her——
Everyone thought she was providing the final protection for Zhuchuan.
Chu Li: "...These people...tsk tsk tsk, I knew they would cause trouble."
At this time, no one cared about Chu Li's afterthought. After reading some of the submissions, Zhu Chuan finally stood up from the sofa with difficulty. His face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he grabbed the phone and went to the balcony to make a call. It was unknown who he called, but that person was about to suffer the baptism of the storm and could not escape...
Chu Li sighed, wondering which editor was so brave to go to the tiger mountain even though he knew there was a tiger. He slid the mouse down and got the answer...
I don’t know which great person submitted a manuscript to [Shuo Ge Yuan Yue She]. It was a screenshot of WeChat Moments. The content of WeChat Moments was a series of speeches made by an editor named A Xian around February this year.
DAY1: [Now think about life, as long as you don't give up what you want, you will get a "smile" sooner or later. I used to like Herman just as a little fan, what a great person he is... I thought I could only look up to him for the rest of my life, I never thought that one day I would be able to personally participate in the production of Herman's book - and it's not a reprint! ]
DAY2: [Hello, "The Last Whale of the Pacific"! ]
DAY3: [It is so difficult to write a preface for Hermann similar to the author's introduction. I am overwhelmed by such a heavy responsibility! It is more nervous than writing my own book! ... Are there any friends in your circle of friends who are also Hermann fans? Please give me some ideas! ! ]
DAY4: [I revisited the English translation of "Trails in the Sky Written by Dragons" (I really love it, English is so hard to understand "smile" "smile") It's very strange that such a good book doesn't have a Chinese translation... As an editor, I feel very sad because it must be a big deal! At this time, the benefit of being an editor is reflected - I will include some personal goods in "The Last Whale in the Pacific" and recommend it to you! ]
…
There are so many crazy remarks like this that they can almost be arranged into a nine-square grid.
Chu Li's mood when watching these screenshots went from "Oh my god" at first to "Oh my god" to "Wow", and the expressions on his face were very interesting. He was wondering how he could not see such an interesting speech... Then he went to Ah Xian's circle of friends and saw that she was blocked (smile).
At the same time, from the balcony came the roar of Zhao Chuan: "I don't care what you do! Either recall it or destroy it! You are still trying to cover it up, as if you think it's not embarrassing enough - did Chu Li remind you not to mention this book?! Did he?! Herman has cooperated with so many countries, from Singapore to the United States to Germany to Japan, who dares to mention "Sky Tracks Carved by Dragons"? Who dares?! You have completely disgraced the domestic publishing industry!! Completely!!!!!!"
Chu Li: "..."
Zhao Chuan: "Don't think that Yuanyue Publishing House is the only one in China. I have already received the royalties. You know the consequences of making a fuss. Do you think Xindun Publishing House is happy to be your keyboard warrior? As for the contract, open your eyes and read what is written in the contract about the author's reputation. Herman is a non-religious person. I'll fuck your Islamic soul guide. If you don't understand the contract, go back and find a primary school Chinese teacher to translate it for you. Get out of here!!!"
From the balcony came the sound of a cell phone being slammed.
The man kicked open the balcony door and rushed in like a tank, snatched Chu Li's phone, and called Gu Baizhi: "Hello? Gu Baizhi? Are you interested in taking over "The Last Whale of the Pacific"? ... Yes, it's a golden opportunity. Get ready, I'll tell you later."
Chu Li: “………………”
Chu Chuan threw Chu Li's phone back to her.
At this time, Zhou Yueli called "Pa Pa" in the room. The expression on the man's face twitched, then relaxed a little, and turned back to the room to feed the baby.
Chu Li was terrified and held her mobile phone, silently opening a WeChat red envelope group.
[The navy hired by Monkey: Wow hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, who took the screenshot of Ah-xian’s Moments and submitted it hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha so shameless!!! 】
【Suo Heng: ……】
[Flying Elephant: Teacher Chu Chuan must be furious. We are in a meeting and we can hear his roar through the boss's phone. The boss was scolded like a dog, and you are still here, hahahaha, aren't you afraid of getting beaten? ]
[The Monkey’s hired soldier: It’s okay, he dropped his phone and can’t see it. ]
【Yu Yao: ……】
[Sui Guang: I posted "Smile" "Smile". Straight men can also hold grudges. I didn't tell you to just let it go after you made me work so hard on revising the manuscript.]
[The stupidest thing is that Ah Xian himself said the words "smuggling contraband"... Well, I am also ready to resign. Firstly, I can't stand being stupid, and secondly, I am afraid of being accused of "manual goodbye"]
[Yu Yao: I heard that there is a clause in the contract to protect the author's reputation, so what's the situation now? Have you started looking for the next buyer? ]
[The ghost behind you: If Yuanyueshe doesn’t handle this properly, I’m afraid you’ll lose your underwear! ]
【Suo Heng: 2333333333333】
[Shattered Light: 2333333333333333]
[The navy hired by the monkey: 2333333333333]
A group of people are having fun.
Chu Li hummed "Ouch" and "Ouch" and laughed as he left the WeChat chat group. It can't be said that he was not in a hapless mood: anyway, he had received the royalties from Zhuchuan, and there were many buyers waiting to take over, so this was not a big deal at all.
I was watching the excitement with a crowd-eating mentality. I just opened my Moments and refreshed it, and I saw a new update:
[Scallion Flavor Langweixian: I hope the person who stabbed me in the back lives a hundred years, because only if he lives long enough can I stab him back twice as hard. ]
Chu Li: "..."
The smile froze at the corner of his lips.
Chu Li quickly took a screenshot of this circle of friends and switched to the WeChat chat group——
[The water army hired by the monkey: "Screenshot"... Who is Lao Liang attacking? 】
【Yu Yao: You. 】
【Shattered Light: You. 】
[The ghost behind you: ...It's you, for sure.]
【Suo Heng: You.】
【Flying Elephant: It really is you. I heard him curse with my own ears: Some people resign because they can’t bear to see others doing well. 】
[The navy hired by the monkey: …]
It was as if I heard something in my mind being opened with a "click" sound... followed by a calm system notification sound -
[Congratulations to player @梁沖浪 for opening Pandora's Box and summoning the ultimate boss. Five seconds later, the game enters Hell Mode... Five, four, three. Two...]
