Chapter 120: Let's talk about literature
"This person is the author on our platform?" Wang Qi asked with a frown.
"Editor-in-chief Wang, you should read Shao Lao's column comments, which clearly says that in the alternate history, inscribe poems for the characters in the story, you can achieve this level, there is no ancient, no one will come after, and you will be a genius in the world. Wei Shu said proudly, "Especially the first "Song of Long Hatred", in just 840 words, it seems that it has exhausted the moving love of the emperor's family, and a poem spans thousands of years." Not to mention the other nine, this one alone deserves the title of a classical poet. β
Wei Shu's praise for Meng Ke inside and outside of his words was obvious to the point of being plain.
Even a small editor like Yu Jirui, who is not very drilled, can feel the love, and a touch of admiration, the vice president of the company admires the little author who signed a contract with the platform, and the meaning of this is self-evident.
At this time, Yu Jirui was not angry, and looked at Wang Qi with wide eyes, all in her eyes: "Editor-in-chief, you say something, why did you become dumb at this time." β
It's not just Wang Qi who is dumb.
In the entire male frequency editorial department, no one dared to answer Wei Shu's words again.
The president of the group is naturally unaware of what happened to the low-level little author, and the closure of the book only happened at 12 o'clock last night, which is only known to the editorial department, and a new book that is not a climate cannot alarm the top boss.
But a 'contemporary classicist poet' is different.
In fact, yesterday evening, Wei Shu received several calls from insiders, all of whom were congratulatory words, but they didn't say where the joy came from, all of them were selling Guanzi.
Until Wei Shu got this top journal and magazine.
He himself is engaged in literature, and he loves poetry and poetry very much in private, and this "Chinese Poetry" is even more carefully read. Before coming, he also made a special phone call with Shao Yunxiang and Shao Lao, and asked sideways, who is the author of this "Song of Long Hatred", and the answer he got was that it was far away in front of him.
Combine those comments.
The answer is self-explanatory.
Therefore, Wei Shu did not investigate Meng Ke carefully at all, because this kind of investigation directly came to the editorial department, which was the most convenient, and the editor-in-chief and the editor-in-charge should know this kind of potential stock better than anyone else.
Observing Wang Qi's expression, Wei Shu sighed: "Editor-in-chief Wang, you don't want to sell Guanzi now, you still hide it, although excellent authors are the core competitiveness of the platform and the group." But I can talk about it to the front, I'm not the kind of person who crosses the river and demolishes the bridge, no matter who the author is, how great his achievements are in the future, whether the work becomes a god or not, the name will fall on your male frequency editorial department, and the group will not dig the wall without authorization, don't worry. β
"Mr. Wei, I ......" Wang Qi wanted to speak and stopped.
"Forget it, I know that you, the editor-in-chief, are forgetful, who is the editor in charge who can turn back the years?" Wei Shu turned his head to look at the senior editors and the six or seven team leaders at the front.
There is a high probability that this kind of resource is in their hands.
And then.
Yu Jirui, who was sitting at the end, quietly raised her hand.
For the first time, Wei Shu hadn't seen it yet, so he asked again: "Didn't the editor in charge of the years come today?"
It's embarrassing.
Sit back in the back and the big guy can't see it?
Yu Jirui had no choice but to open her chair and stand up with a big sting: "Mr. Wei, I am the editor in charge of the years that can be turned back, and my name is Yu Jirui." β
With swollen dark circles under her eyes and untreated shawl hair, Yu Jirui's current state is very bad, but her invincible makeup still makes Wei Shu's eyes shine, this is a very material beauty editor.
Also young.
Energetic and courageous.
It is a potential stock that can dig up good authors.
Nodding silently, Wei Shu raised his hand and pressed it down: "You don't have to stand up, just sit down, just sit down." β
Wei Shu said amiably.
Then Yu Jirui didn't really sit down: "Mr. Wei, I'm still standing, I'm afraid that after I sit down, you won't see me." β
"Ho ho ......" Wei Shu laughed twice, "You little editor, you're quite humorous, emmmm...... This is very good, everyone should learn more from Yu Jirui in the future, and when mixed with literature, you can't be too rigid, you have to keep pace with the times. β
"I'm optimistic about you. β
Wei Shu paused for a moment and cut straight to the point: "Hand the magazine to editor Yu Jirui." β
The magazine quickly reached Yu Jirui's hand.
"Look at the psalms first, and then tell me about the author, I'm curious about it. Wei Shu himself also found a chair and patted Wang Qi on the shoulder, "Editor-in-chief Wang also sits, let's hold a special meeting, the theme is the literary creation contained in the network." β
Wei Shu, who usually doesn't dare to put his work at the level of literature or at a high level, has been using the word literature many times since he entered the door this time.
This is the forced style.
Who dares not to be convinced? Our works have all been published in top journals, and half of the journals are poems by one author, isn't this still literature?
Contemporary classicist poets, this style is always enough weight.
Five minutes later.
Wei Shu named Yu Jirui again: "Let's talk about it." β
After sorting out her thoughts, Yu Jirui spoke: "Mr. Wei, I am indeed familiar with these poems. The author's years can be turned back, his real name is Meng Ke, and he signed the first book "The Invincible Grandmaster of the Reborn City" with the platform two years ago, which ended in 2 million words, and the results were average, but the whole creative process has never been interrupted, and the attitude is very positive. These poems are from the second book "Celebrating More Than Years", the new book was uploaded in the middle of last month, and it was put on the shelves that week, and the average subscription at the end of the month has exceeded 8000, as of yesterday evening, a total of 2.26 million words have been updated, creating a profit of 4.35 million for the platform, according to the sharing rules of A-signed authors, the platform can be divided into at least 2 million. β
Wei Shu was stunned when he listened: "Editor Yu, you're not wrong, right? It was uploaded last month, and it has been updated with 2.26 million words this month?"
Yu Jirui nodded: "Mr. Wei, you heard it right, the first chapter of this book was made by me staring at the author's code in a remote live broadcast, no, it's not a code, it's creation, I witnessed the whole process." β
As if thinking of something, Yu Jirui added another sentence: "Also, these poems did appear in Qingyu Nian, but except for the one "Ascending", the other poems are all fragments, but to contribute to "Chinese Poetry", you need to create the whole poem, because there is a copyright issue involved, and I have already reported to the company at that time." β
Wei Shu nodded: "The author's creation is the author's own, and the group only needs to know that the author is a contracted author belonging to the group." The manuscript fee for these poems and the follow-up fee will not be divided by the group, but will be given to the author in full. β
Wei Shu thought very clearly.
Poetry in this era, does not produce too much financial value, fame is more important than profit, he values Meng Ke as a person, not really those poems.
It's like some employers recruiting PhDs in liberal arts, they don't really want these PhDs to do anything, most likely for the sake of faΓ§ade, or ...... Pretend!
