The farce of Yu Niangniang finally ended with the painter himself choosing to calm down, so Chuli had a good weekend, and when he went to the weekly meeting on Monday, he felt refreshed.
Ah Xiang has almost become her little fan girl: "To be honest, I thought that Empress Yu would be brave enough to lose money and not admit it, and she is not short of this money."
"She's not short of this amount of money," Chu Li narrowed her eyes with a smile, "but she claims that Yuanyue Society cheated on her. If she really took advantage of it, how much money would she have to pay? This circle is really small. There are only a handful of painters who have been asked by publishing editors to cancel the subscription fee and pay compensation. If she does this, it will definitely spread quickly... You underestimated the power of communication and summary in the Internet circle, maybe everyone is still spreading today. "Yueshekeng refunded double deposit", tomorrow it will become "Yuanniangniang refunded double deposit to Yuanyueshe", if one word is missing, how much information is missing here is up to you. "
Ah Xiang nodded in understanding.
At this time, the two came outside the meeting room, and Yu Yao had already taken the first step to sit inside. Seeing them, he waved his hand to let them go and sit. Chu Li stepped in first, and sat down beside Yu Yao.
Yu Yao held the summary of today's meeting to speak in her hand, which must have included a description of the process of cocoon last week, she handed it to Chu Li and said at the same time: "I saw you kept the chat records the other day, and thought You saved that thing for the official Weibo and the positive side."
Chu Li said "Oh", and flipped through the file folder casually: "Curse and scold to lose more, our Yuanyue Society is a big society with a long history and a leader in the industry, so it's worth fighting with an unknown empress for this crap Is your artist tearing it up and down on Weibo to make people see it as a joke?"
Yu Yao smiled: "Yes."
Chu Li: "Furthermore, people who can be fans of Yu Niangniang are big-hearted. If you don't show the editor the draft, and don't cooperate with the editor to revise the draft, it won't make them lose their fans."
Chu Li paused for a moment: "Let her swallow the words that she vomited out, it would be best if she was so disgusting."
Yu Yao laughed louder, and Lao Miao rolled his eyes beside him.
After a while, Teacher Xia arrived, and the Monday regular meeting officially started.
At the regular meeting, Teacher Xia emphasized the way Chuli handled the Yu Niangniang incident this time—Ms. Xia believed that Chuli had safeguarded the rights and interests of Yuanyue Club and its prestige as an industry leader, and at the same time won the right to the "Luohe Divine Book". "The most possible publicity effect... After all, if it wasn't for the fact that Yu Niangniang went too far back then, Yuanyue Society would still have taken a fancy to her own fan resources and publicity effects.
After complimenting Chu Li, the discussion on Empress Yu's matter came to an end. After all, there are more important things to announce next. For this kind of young people's war of violence, Mr. Xia's mature and steady The old-timers are not very interested...
In the following regular meeting, Teacher Xia announced two other things—
The first thing is that the four-year domestic authoritative literary award "Huazhi Award" is about to start a new selection stage. This award is dedicated to the establishment of Chinese novels and small categories. Works with more than 200,000 words can participate in the selection.
This is a major event every four years in the domestic fiction literature industry. As the leader of traditional literature publishing institutions, Yuanyue Society has never been absent. One "Red Eagle", the publishing agency that was selected at the time was Yuanyue Society... After winning this award four years ago, it not only made Zhou Guxuan's reputation even better, but also had a tradition that completely stabilized Yuanyue Society The significance of the leading position in the literary publishing industry.
... The above, this is what Mr. Chuli Tingxia learned from looking back on the past.
But this time, Teacher Xia still asks and hopes that the monthly magazine branches can cheer up, look at the number of publications in the past four years, strive to send more works, and successfully leave this award in Yuanyue Society... Hearing this, Chu Chu Li is a bit distracted at the moment: after all, this western-style traditional literary award does not seem to have much to do with "Moonlight".
It wasn't until Teacher Xia turned her face away while she was talking, and looked at Chu Li and the others, she said something surprising: "Moonlight magazine is also trying to send one or two articles."
First ceremony: "... ... ... ..."
Chuli: "?"
Everyone in the editorial department of "Moonlight" magazine immediately put on a black question mark face - this kind of traditional literary award seems to have nothing to do with the online novels, modern fantasy novels and other categories that "Moonlight" mainly focuses on.
Teacher Xia: "The times are advancing. Even the old feudalists in the selection team should accept the wind of modernity. We must catch up with this wave of trends and reject the stereotypes of old traditions."
... ... ... ... Mr. Xia, when you said this, there was already a smell of old age, you know that
You probably don't know.
Everyone in the editorial department of "Moonlight" magazine nodded in agreement despite the thunder and thunder, and began to chat in their hearts: Is there any work in hand that may be handy and a little more realistic
Chu Li was also roaring in his heart: Ah Gui! ! ! ! ! Can't think of it! ! ! ! There is such a day for your gay article to be selected for the "Flower Branch Award" hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! Surprise not surprise! Accident or not? !
While everyone was stunned by the thunder, Teacher Xia seized the time to announce the second thing—
The annual reader-writer interactive cultural festival of Yuanyue Society is here. In order to let the editorial departments of major magazines increase their interaction with readers, this year, Yuanyue Society will hold an event called "Story Solitaire".
Therefore, each monthly magazine must select two issues, a total of four to six authors, to write the beginning of a story and publish it in the October and November issues, and then let readers contribute to continue writing the follow-up, and select the best follow-up. Announced and published in the monthly magazine and the second-year January monthly magazine…
As soon as this news was announced, everyone in the editorial department of "Moonlight" magazine naturally focused their attention on Lao Miao and Chu Li—because now in the editorial department, as editors in charge, they are the only editors who actually have authors with them.
Lao Miao brought Niannian, Suoheng and Hippo.
Chu Li took Zhouchuan, Jiang Yucheng, and Guiwa with him.
Yu Yao himself transferred "Moonlight" directly from "Star Trails" before, and most of the authors he brought with him followed traditional literary routines, and they all stayed in "Star Trails" as "heritages"... Later, "Moonlight" followed Lao Miao served Zhou Chuan together, and now Zhou Chuan has also found Chu Li, the person he tortured, so Yu Yao has nothing to do with this activity this time.
The war is only between Chu Li and Lao Miao.
And Chu Li was obviously aware of this, so when Teacher Xia proposed to "split it into two issues" and "publish the beginning of each issue with two to three authors", she immediately raised her head and looked at Lao Miao, and then The two coincidentally saw lightning in each other's eyes.
…
Back in the editorial department, Chu Li opened Q to start a daily game with her authors, cuties.
First of all, ghost—
[The sailors invited by the monkey: Comrade Guiwa, according to the information from this morning’s weekly meeting, our agency will publish your article that combines "the social atmosphere of modern Internet media and whether the personal privacy of public figures should be protected" with profound educational significance Submit for review.]
[Ghost behind you: I wrote it? which one?]
[The sailors invited by the monkey: "Hearing".]
[The ghost behind you: ... ... What competition are you participating in?]
[The sailors invited by the monkey: Huazhi Award.]
[The ghost behind you: Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!" ! !]
[Ghost behind you: Don't make trouble.]
[The sailor invited by the monkey: Really.]
[Ghost behind you: Who are you scaring?]
[Shui Jun invited by the monkey: I also had the same reaction when I heard Mr. Xia say this—teacher, who are you scaring? ... Then I found out that he was serious. Are you ready? Huazhi Prize will wave to you again. From now on, you are not a ghost, but Mr. Ghost.]
[The ghost behind you:...]
Taking advantage of the good atmosphere (not at all), Chu Li assigned Ah Gui another task of planning the front issue of the next October issue. Of course, the reader-writer linkage event to be published must include Ah Gui: According to her information, Ah Gui has various It has already been written, but there is only a pit at the beginning, and I urge Ah Gui to sort out these pits and package them up and send them over. Chu Li chooses them himself, and the matter is over.
The euphemistic name is waste utilization.
I drew a big cake called "Gayman Wenna Huazhi Award", which even Ma Liang dared not draw casually, and forced Ah Gui to face the pit that he dug in those years and now he dare not face it now Finally, Chu Li ruthlessly sent Ah Gui away, took a deep breath, and began to conquer the other two unshakable mountains——
Day River and river and city.
When Teacher Xia first announced the news, everyone in the editorial department naturally focused their attention on Chu Li and Lao Miao. People took it for granted that this event took a lot of face from Chu Li—
Just like on today's literature websites, readers who buy genuine copies and write reviews are true love, but in the fast pace of study, work and life, you can take a little time to sit down and write a thousand and eight hundred words for your favorite author seriously. Literary reviews or short jokes, such readers are not true fans, but to the author, they are living bodhisattvas.
You should kneel down and kowtow to give thanks.
Therefore, this "interaction between authors and readers to continue writing stories" is not a test of other things, but a solid competition to see whose temple is bigger and has more Bodhisattvas - compared to Suo Heng and Nian Nian , Dayuchuan and Jiang Yucheng naturally belong to the type of family temples, but the hosting of such temples is also very difficult...
Teacher Xia's task is very urgent, and the October issue will be on the frontispiece project, which means that they must get these manuscripts from the authors before September.
Chu Li immediately found Jiang Yucheng and asked him to write the beginning of this paragraph. At around 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Yucheng replied super quickly—
[Jiang Yucheng: Okay, no problem, just start with two or three thousand words.]
[Jiang Yucheng: Who told me to be your author now, of course I have to listen to the editor: (]
[Jiang Yucheng: Is there any manuscript fee!]
Chu Li suddenly felt a little embarrassed, where did I get the money for the front page project, or I would just post two or three hundred and forget it... Putting both hands on the keyboard, Chu Li thought about it, but he didn't know how to answer it. Yucheng's Q popped out a new line of information——
[Jiang Yucheng: Lie to you, even if you don't have money.]
[Jiang Yucheng: The little monkey monkey wrote me countless long comments and analyzes in those years. There should be seven to eighty thousand words in total. How can I ask you for money now with two to three thousand words...]
[Jiang Yucheng: I want to understand, I am sitting here now to pay off your debts:)]
First ceremony: "..."
A simple [:(] and [:)] has already stunned the little girl sitting in front of the computer so that the girl's heart jumped twice - she thought she had no such things...
No one can stand up to the one he likes greatly helping his work, and at the same time say something like "I paid you back the debt" with a smile... It's killing me, I can't wait to light a firecracker on my butt and then It's a good day to fly!
[Saijun invited by the monkey: Teacher, don’t say that, as if I wrote comments for you in the past just for today!]
[Jiang Yucheng: It doesn't matter, thanks to you, since "The Lost Amusement Park" was decided to be serialized in "Moonlight", my Weibo has not been this lively for a long time. Every day, many people come to ask when the official serialization will start Woolen cloth!]
[Saijun invited by Monkey: Hurry up, September issue—I am also very nervous, the work of the teacher’s comeback has been handed over to me.]
[Jiang Yucheng: Huh.]
[Jiang Yucheng: Come back, will there be such a day?]
Chu Li put his hands on the keyboard, typed the word "yes" seriously, and saw Jiang Yucheng put away his teasing mode, and replied solemnly, "That's up to you", Chu Li Li raised his hand and touched his chest, feeling a sense of solemnity as if he wanted to stand up and bow to the computer.
—At this time, Chu Li had already forgotten the fact that Jiang Yucheng had almost cheated on her once. As the saying goes, the scars were healed and the pain was forgotten. Jiang Yucheng promised so readily, it was definitely not a good thing.
At this time, Chu Li, who hadn't thought so much before, felt that he had conquered Jiang Yucheng again, and finally went to Zhou Chuan with a nervous heart——
At this time, Hiukawa had been staying in City C for almost a week, and Chu Li didn't know how long it would take for him to come back. He was indeed quite old and said before that City G, where Yuanyue Club is located, is just a place where Hiukawa stayed. just one of the...
Now that Er Gouzi has Chu Li taking care of him and being happy like a fairy every day, he is more free to think about when he will come back and when he will come back. Chu Li is almost worried that if this continues, he will have the idea of simply traveling around the world...
For Hiukawa, typing is not enough to communicate with him.
According to Chu Li's experience, men are usually more subtle and easy to speak when they are on the phone than when Q is typing, at least they don't open their mouths and throw people's faces like "I don't want" "I won't do it" "I don't listen" "I Do not"-
So Chuli chose to call Hiukawa.
The phone rang twice and was picked up. It was very quiet on the other side of the phone. The man said "Hello" in a low voice, which seemed to be different from the usual voice, as if his throat and chest had just been moistened with water. The special moist feeling... Well, this is a very strange metaphor.
Chu Li didn't know why he had this association.
"Hi, Hirakawa-sensei."
Chu Li called the man's name in a low voice, grabbed the phone tightly, looked up at his colleagues who were still working, grabbed the phone and walked out to the empty corridor—Chu Li remembered every time she and Hiukawa called each other They will all come to this corner. The last time I begged him not to tell about the signing of "Luohe Shenshu" to Yuanyue Society for the time being. The last time I asked him to release her from the blacklist, otherwise she would have the "Day" in her arms. Chuan forced me" the note jumped from here...
Thinking of this, Chu Li laughed out loud.
"...You idiot, just make a phone call and don't talk, and then let me hear you giggle?" On the other side of the phone, the man's voice was very rude, accompanied by a sound similar to the collision of ceramics, "What's the matter? I'll hang up if it's okay. gone."
"No, I have something to do, something to do!" Chu Li called out quickly, "Mr. Xia talked about the Huazhi Award at the regular meeting this morning. You know the Huazhi Award..."
…
a long distance away.
City C.
Sitting in the retro-decorated tea room, there is a mist of fragrant tea in front of you. In the small teacup in the man's hand, the tea soup is gently shaking. Hold the Huangshan Maojian at a sky-high price.
He held the mobile phone in one hand, and raised his brown pupils from time to time to glance at the middle-aged man sitting opposite the tea table. The latter was wearing simple home clothes, flipping through a seemingly old book in his hand...
No matter how old he is, the literati's temperament is overwhelming.
The man suddenly became interested.
"Oh, the flower branch award? Of course I know, my dad won it, and the trophy is still in my study room to be dusted every day." He opened his thin lips lightly, and the corners of his lips twitched, "What, you want to give away "Luohe" Divine Book" to participate in the selection?"
Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, the middle-aged man sitting opposite him heard the words, put down the book in his hand, and raised his head.
The mischievous smile on the corners of Hiukawa's lips widened: "Sure, Hua Zhi Award, the one with high quality, how much does it cost to buy it?"
While the other side of the phone was stunned into silence for a while, the thread-bound book that should be very expensive also flew towards him on the opposite side of Hiukawa! Mr. Zhou Guxuan, who was sitting quietly drinking tea and reading a book, suddenly put down his teacup, pointed his son's face in the air with warning fingers, then stood up, slammed the door and left!
There was a loud bang.
After a short silence in the tea room, the smile on Hiukawa's lips disappeared.
He picked up his phone and said "Hello" lazily: "I was joking just now, don't send the "Luohe Divine Book", there is something wrong with it, how could it be selected? I don't want to humiliate myself. "
