1376:You and the poor boy should suffer poverty together!
What does it mean to get back to the state of writing "Teen Idol"?
To put it bluntly and unpleasantly, it means writing only about "Teenage Idol" themes and repeating the first success until readers are tired of this theme and writing style!
Editor-in-chief Bao and Zou Weijun have completely different styles of doing things, and they also have two different values.
Zou Weijun hopes that the author has literary pursuits. Editor Bao believes that the author does not need literary pursuits and puts "making money" above "literary pursuits." As long as the book can sell well, there is nothing wrong with copying the same theme again and again.
What Zou Weijun wants is a writer, and Editor-in-Chief Bao wants "literary migrant workers"!
It cannot be said that Editor-in-Chief Bao is wrong. In the position of Editor-in-Chief Bao, it is not wrong for him to want to earn more profits for the publishing house.
The two have different values, which makes Wen Ying very awkward.
If she just wanted to make more money, she would have been reborn. She would have to work hard to write novels.
She had no capital before, but now that she has capital, she can use all the money she earns from writing novels to buy a house, or exchange it for Moutai stocks or something like that. It will be enough to sleep peacefully for the rest of her life, okay?
Seeing that Wen Ying remained silent, Bao Lixin thought that his long speech had shocked Wen Ying, so he was barely satisfied and gave Wen Ying a step down:
"What do you think of what I said?"
Wen Ying nodded vigorously, "I think you are right, but I don't plan to change it. If I can only write about repetitive themes, then I might as well not write at all."
Wen Ying originally had a lot to say to Bao Lixin, and Wen Ying had corresponding explanations for the "deficiencies" mentioned by Bao Lixin: "Xunyong" has a slightly cumbersome beginning and an ending that is not clear enough.
When this novel came out, we could see that such a beginning and ending were completely embedded in the whole big story.
Wen Ying once said these words to Zou Weijun. She could discuss it with Zou Weijun for hours without getting tired. With Bao Lixin... forget it, don't waste time.
"You know just--what?"
Bao Lixin was surprised.
Wen Ying said again: "I said I don't want to change."
puff--
Song Foxiang, whose neck was red, laughed out loud, and Little Salamander's frown relaxed.
When Bao Lixin spoke just now, Wen Ying nodded repeatedly. Xiao Sala was afraid that Wen Ying would be deceived by Editor Bao. Wen Ying's statement made Xiao Sala himself laugh: Xiao Yu is an independent girl, and no one can change it easily.
Xiaoyu’s idea!
Bao Lixin couldn't help but speak harshly: "Why don't you change it? You have signed a contract with the publishing house. The contract stipulates that you must cooperate with the publishing house's requirements to modify the content of "Xunyong" until it meets the publishing requirements."
Oh~
Are you going to argue about the publishing contract?
When it comes to contracts and things like that, Wen Ying felt sleepy instantly.
"Editor-in-Chief Bao, you may not be careful enough when reading the contract. I remember that the contract also stipulates that when the author himself disagrees with the publishing house over the content of "Xunyong", the author can unilaterally terminate the contract, and the liquidated damages will be the advance payment by the publishing house.
3 times. Because I had a good cooperation with the literary and art publishing house before, I did not ask for an advance payment for "Xunyong", so there is no liquidated damages."
Wen Ying kindly reminded Bao Lixin that if she terminated the contract now, she would not have to pay a dime in liquidated damages.
Does Bao Lixin think there is something wrong with "Xun Yong"?
Wen Ying is now letting the public know that her new book "Xun Yong" will be looking for a publisher again. There are too many publishers who want to sign a contract with Wen Ying!
Bao Lixin was speechless.
He is not a fool.
If he wants to conquer Wen Ying and achieve more work, it's okay. But if he forces Wen Ying to terminate her contract with the literary publishing house, then he would be derelict in his duties!
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward. Xiao Sala took the initiative to give Bao Lixin a step down and said that he wanted to talk about a short story with Wen Ying.
"Editor-in-Chief, let's go out first."
Bao Lixin waved his hand solemnly: "Go ahead, my suggestions are all out of good intentions. It's up to Wen Ying to decide whether you are willing to revise "Xun Yong" or not."
"Well, I will think about it carefully."
Wen Ying also saved some face for Bao Lixin.
Bao Lixin asked the three of them to close the office door.
Song Foxiang laughed until his face hurt.
"This Editor-in-Chief Bao is so self-righteous. Who does he think he is? He just came to attack us to establish his authority!"
It turns out that the great poet of the Song Dynasty did not understand the world, but was too lazy to deal with it.
He used the word "we" to put himself in the camp of Wen Ying and Xiao Salamander.
Xiaoyu was worried: "Editor-in-chief Bao had this idea, and it would be difficult for Xiaoyu to end it if he didn't change the article. I heard that after taking office, editor-in-chief Bao contacted several authors who had won previous essay competitions... In short, editor-in-chief Bao is very
Enterprising character.”
Bao Lixin contacted the award-winning author and wanted to find a replacement for Wen Ying!
It is not necessary to replace Wen Ying, but to create a second or third "fish against the current". It is not a good thing for a publishing house to be supported by only one best-selling author.
Wen Ying was noncommittal.
Yuan Fenghui drank tea for a long time and tasted all the refreshments prepared by the publishing house without hesitation. Finally, she waited until Wen Ying came out.
Yuan Fenghui wiped her hands and stood up, "What's going on? Did the negotiation break down? It's not surprising that the new official will definitely burn you out if he takes office."
Wen Ying was suspicious: "Teacher Yuan, your tone sounds a bit gloating to me?"
Yuan Fenghui suppressed the smile on her lips:
"Why should I be gloating? We are so familiar, and I am worried for you! Editor-in-chief Zou is here, and you are a star writer in a literary publishing house, and no one will touch you; Editor-in-chief Zou is gone, and you are a star writer too
Big fat guy, everyone wants to bite you. Of course, you are so smart that you can definitely handle these little twists and turns, but now you are not only a star writer, but also a senior in high school. Dealing with these little things takes up too much of your energy."
"……so what?"
Wen Ying had actually guessed what Yuan Fenghui was going to say.
Yuan Fenghui really did not disappoint Wen Ying. She solemnly took out her business card from her handbag: "So I can be your agent! As long as you sign your agency contract with me, such trivial matters will not matter in the future.
You don’t need to come forward. How to contact the publishing house, how to negotiate the publishing conditions, how to operate and promote your book, all are left to me. You only need to concentrate on your creation! This model already exists in the mainland and is more mature abroad.
, do you want to try it?”
Yuan Fenghui is very determined to achieve the title of "Four Prodigies".
When Zou Weijun was there before, Wen Ying didn't want to sign the contract, so Zou Weijun took care of all the trivial matters of the publishing house.
Now that there is a new editor-in-chief, Wen Ying still has to deal with these trivial matters. She has to compete with the new editor-in-chief to distract her energy!
It doesn't matter, as long as you sign a management contract with Yuan Fenghui, Yuan Fenghui will take care of all these things from now on~
Wen Ying watched Yuan Fenghui hand over the business card and couldn't laugh or cry: "Teacher Yuan, it's not necessary. I won't appear on the camera. I can't reach the heights you want in terms of fame and popularity. My earning power is not as good as Mengjiao's. Moreover,
I’m a very stubborn person, and it’s no use trying to persuade me to earn money that I don’t want to earn.”
Editor-in-Chief Bao asked Wen Ying to revise the article, and Wen Ying refused without any psychological pressure. Anyway, she and Bao Lixin had no friendship, and if he didn't like her book, he would just change the publishing house.
If one day, Yuan Fenghui asks Wen Ying to change the article, or simply limits Wen Ying's writing themes, Wen Ying and Yuan Fenghui will feel uncomfortable when they fall out!
Yuan Fenghui said seriously: "If you have this kind of worry, we can write it into the agency contract in advance. No one will force you to do something you don't like. You just need to give me some permissions and let me help you.
With your creative career, I will make you the most popular and richest writer in China!"
