Chapter 18: The Response of "Legend of Martial Arts".
(It's also good to ask for recommendation tickets, collect, and reward a dime!)
Originally, a group of editors left work at nine o'clock, leaving only the people in the operation department to work overtime all night.
Unexpectedly, at ten o'clock, they all received a notice from the editor-in-chief and all went back to the company for an emergency meeting. Some people just got home, and they rushed back to the company before their buttocks were hot, and some were sweet with their boyfriends and girlfriends, and they had to rush back as soon as they wore their pants.
However, no one complained at this time, because as people in the circle, they already knew what was going on on the way here, and everyone's mood was a little heavy.
The magazine has just improved a little, and last month it squeezed into the top 100 domestic magazine sales, and their editors naturally benefited a lot. didn't expect the good times to last long, and suddenly they were caught off guard.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I think you should also know what happened? I won't say much more here! What do you think of the rumors on the Internet, 'Our publisher's author Jin Guliang plagiarized the article of the author of "Huangjiang Lake"?
"President, since Jin Guliang is the person involved in the incident, let's first ask him about the situation and determine whether he has plagiarized, so that we can make a correct public relations strategy in the face of public opinion on the Internet. ”
One of the editors is dedicated to maintaining the official forum. Wei Bo. PR propaganda of the young man spoke.
After the editor finished speaking, the rest of the people looked in the direction where Editor-in-Chief Wang was sitting, because it was Jin Guliang who was the author under Editor-in-Chief Wang.
At this time, Editor-in-Chief Wang's face was dull and very ugly. Not long ago, he was still proud, because Jin Guliang was the author under him, Jin Guliang became popular, and his status in the magazine naturally rose.
Unexpectedly, a sudden "cold snap" hit, which made his heart cold, Jin Guliang is now involved in plagiarism, and it is very fierce on the Internet, not only Jin Guliang will be unlucky, but it is possible that the magazine will also be unlucky. In this way, I am not much better.
"After I received the news, I immediately called Jin Guliang to confirm the situation, but the other party did not know. Later, he called and said that he had read the article and asked if our magazine had leaked his manuscript. Editor-in-Chief Wang's fat face shook and said in a deep voice.
"Wasn't the short story of "Painting the Rivers and Lakes" published in July? And this time "Sea of Clouds" was suspected of plagiarizing the ninth to twelfth chapters, and it was just put on the shelves today, and the time between the two articles was uploaded was a full half a month, even if the manuscript of "Sea of Clouds" was leaked, it should have been plagiarized and published after that, not before!" said an editor puzzled.
"Jin Guliang sent me the content of "Sea of Clouds" eight times at one time last time, from the fifth to the twelfth. Editor-in-chief Wang responded weakly, his face a little pale.
In fact, Editor-in-Chief Wang subconsciously thought that Jin Guliang did not plagiarize, because the manuscripts of "Dragon and Tiger" and "Sea of Clouds" were reviewed by him, and the author's talent amazed him. He also read the suspected plagiarized article of "Painting Jianghu" just now, which is full of doubts, and there are many places where the writing is not very reasonable, as if it has been pieced together.
But if Jin Guliang did not plagiarize, it means that the manuscript sent to him by Jin Guliang was leaked, and he was used by someone with a heart to direct such a storm.
This consequence is even more severe for him!
When everyone heard this, they were stunned for a moment, and then they suddenly realized, and looked at Editor-in-Chief Wang and several other people in the seat with strange faces, and stopped talking.
Even Li Yunzhi and Lin Wensheng glanced at Editor-in-Chief Wang in surprise, because they didn't know about it. But it's normal, they are usually very busy, how can they notice such a small thing.
Having said that, these people who have attracted everyone's attention are all editors under Editor-in-Chief Wang, and they all have the opportunity to contact Jin Guliang's manuscripts, and the meaning is naturally self-evident.
The editors also understood the meaning, and their faces became very ugly, but no one dared to explain anything. There is a saying that the more you draw, the darker it gets!
At this time, Lin Wensheng, who had not spoken, tapped his fingers on the table, drawing everyone's attention to himself.
"I read the article on "Painting Rivers and Lakes", with my years of experience in writing martial arts, there are many unreasonable arrangements in the article, and its readability is more than a step worse than that of "Sea of Clouds", and it is very likely that the ninth to twelfth chapters of "Sea of Clouds" were leaked last month. Lin Wensheng's fingers lightly clasped the desktop, and his eyes swept the editors present with a seemingly flat look. Among them, the editor-in-chief Wang and his editors were all watching the drums in their hearts.
In fact, when Lin Wensheng first heard the news, he didn't suspect Jin Guliang's plagiarism, and first realized that someone was making a trick behind "Legend of Martial Arts", because this turmoil came too suddenly, so that before they had time to make a public relations response, this topic was already very hot, and "Legend of Martial Arts" has just been successfully hyped by Jin Guliang's hype, and there is a trend of rise. Shopping malls are like battlefields, this kind of thing is not uncommon, and all kinds of conspiracies and tricks emerge one after another.
It can only be said that it came too coincidentally and too suddenly!
However, he also wondered that the short story of "Painting Rivers and Lakes" was indeed very similar to the content of "Sea of Clouds", which made him puzzled, and even wondered for the first time whether Jin Guliang was a chess piece set up by others. But after thinking about it again, it is obviously not true.
It wasn't until he heard what Editor-in-Chief Wang said just now that he suddenly woke up to the fact that the ninth to twelfth manuscripts provided by Jin Guliang had already been leaked, and there were moles from other magazines in their magazine.
As for which magazine's mole, the most suspicious at present is naturally "Huangjianghu".
Lin Wensheng quickly sorted out the thoughts in his mind and continued: "This plagiarism incident should be someone who is making trouble against our magazine. There must be people in our magazine who are arranged by other magazines, and now I don't want to talk about this, you should know it yourself. ”
Lin Wensheng said in a deep voice, his eyes were flat but gave people a lot of pressure, including all the editors present who felt the pressure.
"Okay, Editor-in-Chief Lin has now made the problem clear, then I'll release the task next. Li Yunzhi took over at this time and said with a straight face.
"PR department, go to the official forum immediately. An announcement was made on the website, saying that it denied plagiarism by our author Jin Guliang, and the latest serial content of this issue of "Sea of Clouds" was leaked by insiders last month, and the matter is now being strictly investigated. Wait for the results to be announced!"
"The rest of the department assisted the public relations department and hired a group of trolls to post on major forums and post bars, stating the views I just mentioned, and directing the initiators of this matter to "Painting Rivers and Lakes""
"Understood?" Li Yunzhi released one task after another, and finally said with a straight face.
"Got it!" the editors replied in unison.
"Okay, adjourn the meeting!" Li Yunzhi said, and the group of people who received the task got up and left, and began to prepare for the all-night battle.
