He Fangyuan sat in front of the computer with his waist bent, blinking sour eyes.
Today is the first day of the new year in the editorial department. The work accumulated during the Spring Festival holiday has suddenly been put down. Today’s tasks are extremely heavy.
He wanted to be lazy and postpone the work until later, but the editor kept urging him, saying that he needed to solve the problem quickly, clear things up, and start the New Year's work as soon as possible.
He Fangyuan scoffed, "Sea Breeze" magazine could barely be regarded as a second-tier literary magazine, and its circulation was not even a fraction of that of "Agitation Literature".
The work is not as rushed as the editor-in-chief said.
However, it seemed that he would not be able to get off work on time tonight. He Fangyuan glanced at Xiao Li, who was sitting next to him. This guy was scratching his head. He looked like himself and had not yet fully entered the working state.
"Xiao He, take a look at the website. Offline submissions are not ideal. Let's see how the website is doing. Also, sort out the comments section to make sure there are no problems." The editor came over, gave a few instructions and then left.
"Oh well."
He Fangyuan sighed deeply. It seems that the time to get off work tonight will continue to be extended.
He clicked on the editing backend and looked at the submission area first. It was pretty good. He had received a lot of manuscripts. If the quality was good, there should be no problems with the manuscripts in the next two issues.
After summarizing the manuscripts he received, he ran to the reader interaction area.
In fact, he doesn't think there is anything easy to manage in the comment area. The number of views on the official website of "Sea Breeze" is very low, because the book review area has a separate module that cannot directly comment on the work, so there are even fewer readers. I am afraid that there are more authors who usually visit the website than readers.
More.
The editor-in-chief always says that he must control the interactive forum on the website to prevent malicious comments from affecting the reputation of the magazine.
Just because there was an author who went to the interactive area to throw dirty water because the magazine refused to accept his manuscript, saying that the "Sea Breeze" magazine accepted the manuscript without paying the royalties, infringing on the author's rights, and also said that the magazine was engaged in black-box operations.
Accepting manuscripts does not depend on quality, only on relationships.
The people in the interactive area were all authors, or would-be authors who were willing to submit articles to the magazine. However, after seeing this person's comments, some people gave up on submitting articles, resulting in the magazine receiving fewer articles during that period.
A lot.
However, He Fangyuan felt that this kind of thing only happened once in such a long time, and the editor-in-chief felt that this was purely due to post-traumatic stress disorder.
When I clicked on the interactive area, there were still a few sparse comments. The last comment was from yesterday morning. During the Spring Festival holiday, there were only dozens more comments. Most of them were asking the magazine whether it was easy to submit manuscripts and which ones they would like to receive.
What are the manuscripts of a certain type and their fees?
"These questions have been asked over and over again. Can't these people just scroll down? There are answers to the questions that others have asked. Besides, these questions are written on the homepage of the website. I am really convinced."
After complaining, He Fangyuan was about to exit the interactive area, but he swiped and two new posts popped up.
【Forcibly occupy the high ground.】
[Let me go, the first floor is gone so quickly? 】
He Fangyuan didn't understand much about these two posts. He clicked on them subconsciously, only to find that only a few seconds later, there were comments in the posts.
【Borrowing a building.】
[Borrow the sofa for use.]
"Is there a ghost today?" He Fangyuan scratched his head.
But what he didn't expect was still behind, because after two new posts came out, He Fangyuan tried to continue refreshing, and now more new posts came out.
[What the hell is this "Sea Breeze" magazine? You can't comment on the works? The website is like shit.]
[This interactive module is so deserted? It seems to be a third-rate magazine. 】
[Ahem, in fact, "Sea Breeze" is not that bad. It is still somewhat famous, but I have never visited their official website. 】
[Not a small magazine yet? None of our bookstores here have this magazine. I just went to the bookstore to read it. 】
【Have you finished reading the novel?】
[I haven’t watched it yet, but I saw that there is no comment section, so I came here to see the excitement. 】
[Forget it, I’d better read the novel. The quality recommended by Zhang Zhong is definitely guaranteed.]
[No matter how good a book is, it will never be as good as a book with great significance.]
[Isn’t this nonsense, but Zhang Zhong rarely turns over brands, just to see something strange.]
[I estimate that this Qin Zhao should have signed with Zhang Zhong’s company, as did Zhao Re last time.]
[What the hell is signing a contract with a company? Are writers still the same as the entertainment industry? 】
[Writer’s agent, don’t you know? 】
【have no idea.】
[Don’t know +1]
【Don't know +10086】
【Let me go, there are really many people who don’t know.】
[If you are old enough, come and learn more about it.]
[What is popular science? Just go to a search engine and look it up.]
[Indicates that I have finished reading the novel. It is very interesting, but it is too short.]
[It’s really beautiful, and Zhang Zhongda’s comments fit the theme very well.]
[I still think Zhang Zhongda’s recommendation is more poetic.]
【It is indeed more stylish.】
…
Looking at the posts that kept popping up and the rapidly growing comments, He Fangyuan couldn't react. What on earth is going on?
Looking at these people's comments, he also saw some clues. It seems that this matter has something to do with Zhang Zhong?
He clicked on WeChat again, found Zhang Zhong's personal homepage, and found that the name of their "Sea Breeze" magazine was on the first post.
Zhang Zhong: There is a kind of bird in this world. It is born without legs. It can only fly in the sky all its life. When it is tired, it sleeps in the wind. This kind of bird can only land once in its life, and that is when it dies.
I recommend everyone to read a novel called "Swiss Swallow" by Qin Zhao. The novel was published in "Sea Breeze" magazine.
"Swiss", He Fangyuan still has an impression of this novel because it was an article published in the last issue of their magazine. Because the quality of this novel is very high, he has not forgotten it.
But he didn't expect that this novel would be read by Zhang Zhong, and he would even post a recommendation on Weiyu.
Could it be that Zhang Zhong still pays attention to their "Sea Breeze" magazine? Thinking of this possibility, He Fangyuan was a little excited.
By the way, I need to report this to the editor-in-chief.
He Fangyuan stood up and ran to the editor-in-chief's office.
The editor-in-chief was on the phone. When he saw He Fangyuan, he pressed his hand and told him not to worry.
After about two or three minutes, He Fangyuan became more and more impatient as he waited. The editor-in-chief hung up the phone and glanced at him, "What's the matter? Have the website matters been handled?"
"Editor-in-Chief, our magazine has been rebranded by Zhang Zhong." He Fangyuan said excitedly.
"Huh? Zhang Zhong? What's going on?"
He Fangyuan spoke in general terms, but the editor-in-chief didn't quite understand.
"Zhang Zhong posted an update on his WeChat account, mentioning our magazine."
The editor's heart skipped a beat, "He didn't say anything."
No wonder he was worried, after all, Zhang Zhong also has a "Zero Zero One" under his command, and they are still competitors. Since they are competitors, if they suddenly mention their own company, there is a high probability that nothing good will happen.
"It's a good thing. He said that a novel that our magazine published before was very good. Now many people have come to our official website." He Fangyuan continued, "The article he mentioned was "Swiss". Last time
Editor-in-Chief, you also mentioned that this article was very good and was even placed at the front of the magazine."
The editor felt relieved and smiled, "This is really a good thing."
