Chapter 0025: Little Trouble
Revise?
Zhou Lin was a little unhappy.
Look at people's "Wuxia Weekly", the attitude is affectionate, full of sincerity, the remuneration is good, and the money is especially happy.
Zhou Lin also knew something about the magazine in his past and present lives, and they have always dragged their manuscript fees, and it is considered fast to settle it three months after publication, and it is not surprising to give money after half a year.
"Wuxia Weekly" did not give money directly, and this sincerity alone is gratifying.
With the comparison of "Martial Arts Weekly", "Science Fiction Literature" is a bit out of words.
Who is the author of "The Country Teacher"? That's Liu Cixin, the science fiction literary hero who won the Hugo Award for "The Three-Body Problem" in his previous life!
"The Three-Body Problem" is good-looking, and "Country Teacher" is definitely not bad. When he watched "Country Teacher" for the first time in his previous life, Zhou Lin also shed tears of emotion.
When he searched on the Internet before, he simply read some novels published in the recent issues of "Science Fiction Literature", and in terms of imagination, essay writing, and shooting horses, they couldn't catch up with half the level of "Country Teacher".
Zhou Lin can only say that "Country Teacher" is absolutely worthy of "Science Fiction Literature", and as for whether "Science Fiction Literature" can be worthy of "Country Teacher", he can't say.
However, "Science Fiction Literature" actually asked him to revise it, and Zhou Lin was very unhappy.
First of all, he was reluctant to revise it, and secondly, he did not have time to revise it.
Last but not least, he plagiarized and plagiarized, and he was still self-aware of his own skills, and he thought that he had no ability to modify the master's handwriting.
In this case, the answer is very clear.
"Not accepted. Zhou Lin replied bluntly.
Wang Baokang on the other end of the phone was stunned, he didn't expect to get such an answer.
The sophistication, imagination, and emotion of "The Village Teacher" does not look like a newcomer's work, but the pseudonym "Flying in the Clouds" is very unfamiliar, leading Wang Baokang to speculate that it may be the transformation of an author in another field.
Since he is an old author, it should be natural to make a little revision according to the requirements of the magazine. Therefore, even if he felt a little inappropriate after receiving the instructions of the editor-in-chief, Wang Baokang still made this call immediately after getting Zhou Lin's contact information.
In fact, Wang Baokang was deeply impressed by "The Country Teacher", if he was the editor-in-chief, this novel would not need to be modified for a word or even a punctuation mark, and it could be directly used as the main novel of next month's magazine.
But the current editor-in-chief of "Science Fiction Literature" used to work in the Meteorological Bureau, and he didn't know whether he understood science fiction or not, at least he didn't know much about literature. After reading the first chapter of "The Village Teacher", I decided that this was to discredit the current good situation of social prosperity and stability.
The editor-in-chief wanted to revise it, but Wang Baokang had no choice but to make this call.
It's just that he didn't expect Zhou Lin's attitude to be so resolute, and he didn't even think about it.
Wang Baokang never expected this situation, and held back for a few seconds before saying, "Why don't you accept it?"
"I don't have time to revise it. Zhou Lin was a little distressed about the phone bill, and said neatly, "Since your magazine thinks that "Rural Teacher" is not suitable, then forget it." ”
"Dudu Dudu......" Before Wang Baokang could say anything, there was already a busy sound on the phone.
……
Zhou Lincai doesn't care what the "Science Fiction Literature" magazine thinks, he has money in hand, so he doesn't care if "The Country Teacher" can be published.
Back at school, his mind was not focused on studying, but on planning his next moves.
The most important thing now is to promote the forum and continue to expand the influence of "Zhu Xian" and "Blasphemy".
Relying on him alone to post on major forums has little effect, should you hire some people to publicize it in a big way?
Zhou Lin was thinking about it when his phone vibrate.
He sneaked out of the classroom through the back door, and when he saw that the calling number was Zhou Ming's house.
When the phone was connected, Zhou Ming's voice immediately came from the receiver: "Cousin, cousin, something is wrong!"
"Someone is scolding "Blasphemy" again?" This was Zhou Lin's first reaction.
"It's not "Blasphemy", it's "Zhu Xian" that has an accident. Zhou Ming said.
When Zhou Ming finished speaking breathlessly, Zhou Lin knew what was happening.
He simply stopped attending the rest of the class, sneaked out of the school and went to a nearby Internet café to log on to the Phantom Sword World website.
In order to attract people to the forum, Zhou Lin published "Zhu Xian" on the two major literary websites of Phantom Sword World and Falcon Literature.
Falcon Literature reacted very quickly and directly banned him.
The Phantom Sword World is very generous, and he took the initiative to sign a contract with him.
Zhou Lin didn't pay attention to the signing invitation of the Phantom Sword World, and the update of "Zhu Xian" has been continuing.
Recently, there have been more and more readers on the side of the Phantom Sword World, as a work that has not signed a contract and does not have any recommendations, the number of clicks and recommended votes per day has exceeded some of the works recommended on the homepage, which is beyond Zhou Lin's expectations.
Last week, "Zhu Xian" won more than 30,000 clicks and more than 2,000 recommendation votes, and the discussion area was also hot, compared to the lively scene on the forum.
This week, "Zhu Xian" made persistent efforts, and only Thursday got 40,000 hits and 2,500 recommendation votes, and at the same time ranked tenth in the two major rankings of clicks and recommendations on the homepage, although it is the end, it can be called a miracle!
Since the commercialization of the Phantom Sword World, there has never been a single work that has been on the homepage click and recommendation list without recommendation, and "Zhu Xian" has done it!
This result immediately attracted abuse from competitors, and many posts with the words "ticket swiping" and "cheating" popped up in the comment area.
These people unanimously believe that "Zhu Xian" used some disgraceful means to brush up on the number of jù, otherwise it would not be possible to make it to the rankings. There is also a group of people who are clamoring to report it and ask the website to block "Zhu Xian".
The Phantom Sword World, which rarely responds to this kind of report, was actually very resolute this time, and at noon, the clicks and recommendation votes of "Zhu Xian" were suddenly locked, and they both fell off the list soon.
Zhou Ming usually mainly takes care of the forum, and occasionally manages the comment area on this side of the Phantom Sword World. He just landed and found out about this situation, and immediately sued Zhou Lin.
Zhou Lin looked at the locked numbers on the page of "Zhu Xian" and sighed softly.
He knew that this day would come sooner or later, but he didn't expect it to come so early.
Where there are interests, there are rivers and lakes, and there are disputes. "Zhu Xian" touched the interests of others, so it will naturally be suppressed, and there is no escape.
Fortunately, all of them were expected.
Whether it is the revision of "Science Fiction Literature" or the suppression of the Phantom Sword World, it is just a small trouble.
Zhou Lin has long known that even if he can plagiarize the great works of his previous life, success will not be simple. In the future, in the process of creating an empire, such troubles are bound to be many.
If you are not afraid of trouble, it is good to be able to solve it. Zhou Lin already had a way.
