After returning from Donghai Radio to promote the new album, Li Qing was surprised to learn about Tang Dynasty Publishing House's intentions.
But it’s true that he hasn’t written a new book recently**.
Speaking of which, the original "Looking for Qin" was probably just a stopgap measure. In terms of literature, it was not Li Qing's original intention.
Therefore, when Wu Shaobo and Zou Weilun came to discuss the new book for the second time, Li Qing refused without even thinking.
"He is holding a grudge!"
Wu Shaobo, who walked out of Hanhai Media Company, said angrily: "Do you think we rejected his manuscript at the beginning, so now that you are so awesome, you don't bother to talk to us?"
"Even if this is the case, it is human nature." Zou Weilun said.
Wu Shaobo stopped and turned to look at Zou Weilun: "Xiao Zou, what do you mean?"
Zou Weilun said innocently: "After all, we were wrong first..."
"Why is it wrong? "Looking for Qin" is a superstitious product. I rejected the manuscript after understanding the spirit of the ministry. Why is it that we are wrong? At that time, who the hell dared to publish such a superstitious novel?" Wu
Shao Bo said loudly, attracting passersby's attention.
Zou Weilun said quickly: "Hey, let's discuss the matter... Come on, don't mention this. Anyway, we have no hope of Li Qing's new book. Brother Bo, you should think about how to get back to life!"
Wu Shaobo seemed to have been greatly wronged and said indifferently: "Answer the truth. If Fourth Master doesn't believe it, let him come in person!"
Si Ye is the chief editor of Tang Dynasty Publishing House, and his full name is Fang Sihai.
Zou Weilun pondered for a while and said: "Brother Bo, I think Li Qing really has some doubts about our Tang Dynasty Publishing House. Look at the decisiveness with which he rejected us just now. It was because he had no intention at all."
The new book is entrusted to us to be published. As the saying goes, the person who untied the bell must tie the bell. Brother Bo, let’s go back and explain the truth clearly. The Fourth Master will not fail to understand. At that time, let the Fourth Master talk to the leaders of the Ministry of Culture.
Let’s discuss it together and ask the leaders of the ministry to talk to Li Qing. No matter how awesome he is, he, Li Qing, has to give face to the leaders no matter what he does in this industry, right?”
Wu Shaobo's eyes lit up when he heard this, "This is a good idea. With Fourth Master's relationship in the ministry, this matter can definitely be accomplished!"
Early the next morning, Wu Shaobo and others came to Hanhai Media again.
But this time, in addition to Zou Weilun and two assistants, there was also Fang Sihai, the editor-in-chief of Tang Dynasty Publishing House, and a middle-aged man wearing a dark blue tunic suit who looked very calm.
This man's name is Du Qiongze, and his identity is the deputy director of the Beijing Cultural Bureau.
Generally speaking, the Cultural Affairs Bureau is in charge of literature and art, while the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television is in charge of the entertainment industry.
When it comes to the immediate boss, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television is the one Hanhai needs to curry favor with.
But the bad thing is that Hanhai's full name is Hanhai Culture Media Co., Ltd., and the suffix is the word "culture". If you dig deeper, these two words are actually a constraint.
Li Qing's original plan was that if there were good IPs for literary works in the future, he could personally develop and operate the relevant copyrights, so he had made preparations for this in advance.
This led to the fact that Du Qiongze, deputy director of the Cultural Affairs Bureau, came to Hanhai for inspection.
For Director Du's sake, Zhou Shu and others had no choice but to smile at each other and entertain him with tea and water in the conference room.
As for the purpose of Wu Shaobo and others' coming, Zhou Shu naturally knew it well.
But she didn't intend to open her mouth. No matter how successful a company was, if it wanted to confront a deputy department-level cadre, especially in a place like the capital with complicated relationships, it would not gain much advantage anyway.
However, when facing Du Qiongze, Zhou Shu was neither humble nor overbearing. The Zhou family in the capital behind her was not a paper tiger and could be manipulated by others.
Du Qiongze was about forty-two or three years old. He had a mature temperament and was impeccable in his speech. He was holding tea and said with a smile: "The name Li Qing is really well-known in the imperial city. I like it myself too."
My daughter, who listens to Li Qing’s songs, is also a fan of Li Qing and has long wanted to meet Mr. Li. I wonder if Mr. Zhou can help contact him?"
"Li Qing has just released a film. He has a busy schedule recently and is exhausted these days. He doesn't come to the company much. But since Director Du is here, he will come no matter how tired he is."
Zhou Shu smiled and said: "I just had a phone call with Li Qing, and I'll be here shortly."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the conference room opened, and Li Qing, Wei Hai, and Pei Sitao walked in together.
Both sides immediately burst into laughter.
When everyone sat down, Fang Sihai, the editor-in-chief of Tang Dynasty Publishing House, spoke: "Xiao Li, I know you are emotional, but..."
Hearing this, Li Qing interrupted Fang Sihai's continued chatter and said in surprise: "Mr. Fang, what do you mean by this? I didn't understand something."
"Haha." Fang Sihai looked at Li Qing pretending to be confused and smiled. He stood up and knocked on the conference table: "Because of policy reasons at the time, when I received the manuscript of your "Looking for Qin",
We refused. But now, times have changed. After the reform and opening up, the country is changing drastically every day, and it is correcting its past mistakes. Now, we very much welcome works like "Looking for Qin".
As for you, don’t have any small emotions. Strictly speaking, in the final analysis, our publishing house is at fault in this regard. I am here to help you on behalf of Tang Dynasty Publishing House. But you are still young, so you cannot be so willful.
Go on, do you know what the country is currently advocating most while improving our material foundation?"
Li Qing shook his head.
"It's spiritual food!"
Fang Sihai said with a smile: "Without a material foundation, human beings can easily cause wars; without spiritual food, it can easily increase the crime rate! A good literary work is definitely a spiritual feast. If a person eats it,
We will be full of energy, and only when our energy and energy are up, will our people have the energy to carry out reforms!"
Li Qing looked at Fang Sihai who was seriously talking nonsense and asked doubtfully: "I... handed you the manuscript to Tang Dynasty Publishing House?"
As soon as these words came out, the smile on Fang Sihai's face suddenly froze.
The entire conference room fell silent instantly.
Wu Shaobo couldn't help it anymore and said: "Of course I handed it over. I personally rejected the book "Looking for Qin" that you published before."
Fang Sihai and Du Qiongze turned their heads and looked at Wu Shaobo as if they were idiots.
If you let people pretend to be cool, maybe this matter will be over.
Not only do you not allow the other party to show off, you also embarrass the other party, and you also take the initiative to attract hatred...
I said, if you live to this age, have you lived like a dog?
A brain is a good thing, but it’s a pity you don’t have one!
Li Qing smiled and said lightly: "Oh, that's it."
After saying this, Li Qing seemed to have no desire to speak anymore. No matter how Fang Sihai and others tried to find new topics, Li Qing just kept mumbling and had no intention of opening a conversation.
This made the atmosphere at the scene quite awkward.
Wu Shaobo also realized it later and brought it to its senses. He also wanted to give himself a slap in the face.
I'm fine, why should I talk so much!
But now, it seems it's too late to say anything.
The title of Deputy Director of the Cultural Affairs Bureau seems not to be able to suppress Li Qing at all.
They don't regard you as their boss at all.
What puzzled Fang Sihai and others was that Du Qiongze didn't seem to be annoyed at all when faced with this situation.
Du Qiongze was able to rise from the grassroots to the deputy department level, and he was also the deputy department level in the capital. His city government was extremely meticulous.
He never fights an uncertain battle.
Before coming, he learned about the background of Hanhai Culture Media.
He didn't know that Zhou Shu was the eldest daughter of the Zhou family in Beijing, but he knew that in addition to Hanhai Culture Media, Li Qing also had the identity of the president of Huaqing Technology.
Huaqing Technology seems to be just an ordinary Internet company, but it is not only the founder of Weibo, the social networking site with the highest traffic on the Internet, but in recent months, it has also launched the most popular instant messaging on the Internet.
Software oicq.
oicq, short for qq, this Internet application is more terrifying than Weibo.
Now, with the promotion of relevant parties, qq can be said to have penetrated into every broadband user's computer in less than a year.
In real life, when friends get together, the most fashionable sentence is, what is your QQ number? I will add you as a friend.
Just this sentence attracted countless people to flock to him.
Huaqing Technology was not conspicuous at first, but when all Internet practitioners saw the huge benefits of instant messaging and wanted to follow suit, they were all ruthlessly attacked by relevant parties. After going online, up to three
There are countless instant messaging software that have gone bankrupt.
This has triggered the industry's attention to Huaqing Technology.
The name Li Qing was also spread among Internet practitioners for a time, and became more and more mysterious.
However, many people subconsciously believe that this Li Qing is not that Li Qing.
It is impossible for one person to have such endless energy.
But people who are familiar with the insider background of Huaqing Technology have obtained the information of the CEO of Huaqing Technology early on.
Luo Zhengxu, general manager of Yuanzheng Media, is one, Wang Yong, chairman of Hong Kong Culture Publishing House, is one, and now, Du Qiongze is also one.
Therefore, when facing Li Qing, whether it was Luo Xuzheng, Wang Yong, or now Du Qiongze, they were naturally wary of this person with a government background.
Until the door of the conference room was pushed open and Du Qiongze and others left Hanhai, the plan to publish Li Qing's new book was not finally agreed upon.
"Du Ju, Du Ju!"
In the corridor, Wu Shaobo caught up with Du Qiongze and said with an apologetic smile: "It's my fault today. I was too careless. Don't mind."
Du Qiongze hummed, turned around and continued to say to Fang Sihai: "Fourth, it's not that I won't help you with this matter, it's just that I really can't help you. As you can see, they don't even intend to give me any face..."
Fang Sihai forced a smile and said: "Hey, what a big deal! Let's go, let's go, I'll be the host of the Royal Hotel. I won't come back until I get drunk today."
Wu Shaobo looked at his editor-in-chief, then at Director Du, and said with some confusion: "We haven't finished this matter yet... Director Du, you are the director of our Cultural Bureau, and you are in charge of these small companies.
!I think, as long as you say harsh words, Li Qing will have to listen no matter what..."
At this time, even the editor-in-chief Zou Weilun couldn't stand it anymore. He grabbed Wu Shaobo and whispered: "Brother Bo, stop talking."
"Stop saying anything, I'm seeking truth from facts."
Wu Shaobo said a little irritably: "This Li Qing, isn't he just famous in the entertainment industry because of himself? I heard that his advertising fee for an endorsement is several million, so he doesn't care about the money from the publishing house?
As a literary creator, how can he be so vulgar? His whole body smells like copper, which is really disgusting."
"Have you said enough?" Fang Sihai turned around and asked with a cold face.
Wu Shaobo said to himself: "Of course it's not enough. In fact, I think the level of "Looking for Qin" is just that. It's just that his creativity is good and the concept of traveling through time and space is included in the work, which is why it is so popular abroad.
Foreigners, are you going to be new soon? Once people get over that novelty, Li Qing’s value in the literary world will come to an end. Time is the best witness. After a few decades, who will remember Qinglian?
Sword Immortal? But everyone knows that Zhou Lindong gave up medicine to pursue literature. Why is this? The product of the three vulgarities has never been able to get on the stage. "
Looking at Wu Shaobo who spoke plausibly, Fang Sihai took a deep breath, turned to Du Qiongze and smiled: "Make Director Du laugh."
Du Qiongze didn't pay much attention. He came back to his senses and smiled slightly: "The ignorant are fearless, don't blame him."
"As long as you don't mind, when we get to the Royal Hotel later, you can give me some noodles and we'll order the menu to death. Don't be polite to me..." Wu Shaobo said cheerfully.
"Definitely, definitely." Du Qiongze laughed, glanced at the stunned Wu Shaobo, shook his head, and took the lead to leave.
Fang Sihai turned around, looked at Wu Shaobo, and said calmly: "Shao Bo, just leave this matter alone. I will find another way later. Also, don't talk nonsense, be careful of trouble coming out of your mouth."
Seeing Fang Sihai and Du Qiongze leaving, Wu Shaobo was dumbfounded.
"Did I do something wrong?" He pointed at himself and muttered.
Zou Weilun sighed beside him and couldn't help but have a headache.
Although he was a small editor with little publicity, he was keenly aware of the imbalance in the momentum between the two parties at the scene.
Although I couldn't believe it, Li Qing was the most energetic at the scene. On the contrary, Chief Editor Fang and Director Du were becoming less and less confident in their words.
Don't look at Li Qing saying "you, you", but that's just a habitual expression...
And Wu Shaobo suffers the consequences here. He has no eyesight. Do you really think that people are being polite to you because they are afraid of you?
Zou Weilun could no longer hold back the overwhelming power in his heart. With such an editor in chief, no wonder he could never get ahead.
Thinking of his college classmate Cai Afen who is now the editor-in-chief of Hong Kong Cultural Publishing House, Zou Weilun thought of changing jobs for the first time. (To be continued.)
