The media has always dug up the truth, exposed shady scenes, and stalked celebrities...... Its representative, the journalist, is known as the uncrowned king, and since the emergence of this group, the population has a partial right to know.

The fastest updated novels, even in Western media, are generally considered to be the fourth largest political group outside the executive, legislative, and judicial powers, which is unofficial and has great influence.
But there is a premise that the media industry must be independent, even free from censorship, and Huaxia has embraced this world setting.
But when the media is confronted with real power, it is easier to be fooled than public opinion.
The ancestor of the other world said that the eyes of the masses are bright.
Public opinion may be misled for a while, but eventually it will become clear that the media is sometimes willing to be manipulated by power.
This right, in modern China, mainly represents the power that money has.
The overlord of the literary and artistic circles, the film and television industry, and marine culture is a certain embodiment of this power.
After more than half a century of development, its influence has penetrated into every corner of the Chinese land, and perhaps only another group that dominates the media industry can compete with it.
Therefore, when Manager Han made an appointment with Zhongli in a teahouse, he didn't notice that kind of high profile.
"Hehe, Xiao Zhong, you are proud of the spring breeze now."
Zhongli smiled bitterly: "Manager Han, don't laugh at me, the boss is a person who doesn't care about anything, and I also do it hard." ”
"This magazine isn't yours?"
Manager Han feigned surprise.
"I don't have that much money, Manager Han asked knowingly, I've been in the company for so long, and I still don't know my family background?"
Zhong Li smiled even more bitterly, "Speaking of the editor-in-chief, he is better than ordinary white-collar workers, and Director Li should have a deep understanding of this." ”
Li Zhihong, the director of "Chinese Youth" next to him, smiled awkwardly.
It's just that he really has some problems with his face, and his smile is like a pair of hands pulling underneath, which makes people very uncomfortable.
There is a big difference between the two peers, Zhongli has some literary temperament, and he likes others to call him editor-in-chief.
And Li Zhihong is not interested in the title of editor-in-chief, and the position announced on the day of entry is director, which sounds very lofty.
They are all experienced practitioners in the industry, and the so-called art of conversation does not work.
Zhongli remained silent, calculating in his heart.
At the beginning, he resigned because he was helpless, with his qualifications, he could find another magazine of the same size to work, although the marine culture is strong, he can't cover the sky with one hand.
If you start from scratch with Shen Zhe, it's because of the eye edge, it's too much of a stretch.
Because he has been working in the magazine industry for a long time, he knows the power of a good writer, and he is super talented in Shen Zhe.
Youth inspirational poems and ancient texts, as well as later martial arts, there are several fields that he is good at.
On top of that, the speed seems to be ridiculously fast.
Having such an author is a treasure for any cultural company, and what happened later was made because of the focus on martial arts.
When he got the full draft of "White Hair", Zhongli knew that his choice was right.
Sure enough, it attracted the old club.
"I won't ask about the specific situation, Xiao Zhong, we want to buy the right to adapt martial arts film and television."
Manager Han got to the point.
Zhongli spread out his hand and said with a smile: "I can't be the master of this, the copyright is not in the company, but in the hands of the author, oh, our boss." ”
Manager Han bowed slightly: "Of course I understand, he is still in school, and you are currently running Xiao Zhong." ”
"I can tell you, but I don't know how you're going to buy it?"
Zhongli asked calmly.
"Well, you can talk about it specifically, and I can call the shots if it doesn't exceed 5 million."
"Okay, I'll tell you."
Manager Han paused: "In addition, the acquisition intention of Oriental Culture will also be relayed." ”
Zhong Li smiled: "A few months after the company was established, you are going to do it?" ”
"Double the estimate!"
Zhongli was stunned for a moment, it sounds really good, and at present, he has invested millions one after another, which has increased several times in three months.
It's just that the valuation is not easy, even he has the development prospects of this magazine, a "White Hair" can double the value of the word martial arts, what about another one?
The manuscript of "Seven Swords" is lying in his encrypted mailbox.
But I don't know if Xiao Zhe is moved.
…… When Shen Zhe received Zhongli's call, he was in class.
came out of the classroom from the back seat and picked up the phone: "Brother Zhong, is there something?" ”
"It's a bit of a thing,"
Zhongli smiled, "Xiao Zhe, the people from the marine culture have been found, guess what?" ”
"Maritime culture?"
Shen Zhe was stunned for a moment, and then said, "It's an adaptation, right?" ”
"I guessed ......"
"Not too surprised."
Shen Zhe said with a smile.
The book "White Hair" is the most adapted martial arts of the Liang School, and in this respect, this work is Liang Shi's masterpiece.
Shen Zhe asked, "How much do they pay?" ”
"Less than 5 million."
"Quite sincere, Brother Zhong, are you still willing to cooperate with them?"
"What do I don't want to do, the work is yours, besides, I'm a businessman, have you ever seen a businessman who doesn't want money because he hurts his feelings?"
"Ha, that's right, it's already a good feeling to get them to come back to you......"
I heard Zhong Li say: "By the way, it's the right to adapt martial arts." ”
Shen Zhe frowned: "What do you mean?" Not just an adaptation of "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch"? ”
"Yes, they are martial arts, including this one, and the term of the agreement and the duration of the authorization can be negotiated at that time."
"Damn!"
Shen Zhe cursed.
"Not for sale!"
What are you kidding, I want to buy the adaptation rights of all martial arts works, marine culture has a big appetite, and the pen is really small.
Shen Zhe was suddenly stunned, he thought badly, and unconsciously counted the future martial arts works, but others didn't know.
But not for sale is for sure.
"Also, they're going to buy Oriental Culture."
Zhongli said again.
Shen Zhe: "......"
After a while, he said: "Alas, no wonder people are the overlords of the industry, and we just started grabbing some good things." ”
"Double the valuation, tempting?"
Zhongli asked with a smile.
"Brother Zhong, do you think our company is worth double?"
"You're the big boss, you've doubled your investment in a few months, and there's no more profitable business, but it's definitely going to come with your contract."
Shen Zhe simply said: "Don't sell it!" ”
Zhongli Yan said, "Then we are going to meet their blows!" ”
"Let's close the door?"
"That's not it, all publishing units are under the management of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, and Maritime Culture does not have the right to shut down the magazine. But they have an invisible right that can also blow us. What they want to monopolize is the source of creativity, and your martial arts are obviously free. ”
"What about the consequences?"
"At present, about 60% of our magazine distribution channels rely on book agents, and once it is ......"
Shen Zhe said: "I understand, we have readers, but the magazine can't be delivered to them?" ”
This means that there is only one large enough agent in China that is not affected, and that is Bowen Bookstore, because it is under the umbrella of Xingchen Media. Unless we can get a lot of support from this bookstore and accelerate the construction of our own distribution channels, it will greatly affect our magazine subscriptions. ”
"These big companies have long enough, and there is also a force behind the bookstore......"
Shen Zhe always thought that the Bowen bookstores in major cities belonged to an independent cultural company, but he didn't expect that there was another media giant behind it.
"The enemy of our enemies is our friends, will the bookstore support us?"
"Xiao Zhe, what you say has the flavor of business war."
Zhongli repeated, and then said: "It may be supported, but we have to have something to impress them, such as a super bestseller, the influence of martial arts is not enough, and it still needs to be developed." ”
Shen Zhe was surprised: "Brother Zhong, did you hack into my computer?" ”
"Nonsense, how can I have that level!"
Zhongli laughed and scolded.
"Okay, I'll leave the matter to the bookstore, and it just so happens that the book is almost finished."
"You've got a new work?"
Zhong Li said happily, and suddenly his voice changed, "Or martial arts?" It takes at least a million levels to have the possibility of impressing them. ”
"It's not martial arts, it's history, don't worry."
If "The Emperor Hongwu" is published in China, it will not sell millions, and Shen Zhe dares to screw his head off.
"We have to do it ourselves!"
Zhong Lidao.
"Of course."
