Chapter 53: Punishment

"Liu Qing, the author of Xun Meng Ji, when signing the book Xun Meng Ji, granted the book including but not limited to simplified, traditional, film and television adaptation, audio adaptation, animation adaptation, etc., to the Oriental Publishing House. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”

However, Liu Qing, the author of Xun Meng Ji, learned that the work was about to be adapted by film and television, and thought that it was profitable, and then asked the Oriental Publishing House for the copyright fee for the film and television adaptation. It has nothing to do with the author Liu Qing anymore. ”

Liu Qing was further furious and had a dispute with the leaders of the unit over this matter, and the publishing house decided to stop Liu Qing's editorial work in the unit and ordered him to review and wake up, but Liu Qing not only did not reflect on his mistakes, but also further verbally attacked Oriental Publishing House and editor-in-chief Liu Xubing on Weibo. He also privately threatened and attacked the editor-in-chief, Liu Xubing. ”

"In view of Liu Qing's rude and bad attitude, Oriental Publishing House hereby warns its employee Liu Qing to realize his mistake as soon as possible and correct it as soon as possible, otherwise it is not excluded that Oriental Publishing House will take legal measures to investigate Liu Qing's bad behavior!"

As soon as this Weibo was issued, there were comments in the comment area below.

"It turns out that this is because of this, but since Liu Qing himself signed the contract and granted the copyright to the publishing house, how the publishing house operates after that has nothing to do with him, and he still has the face to ask for copyright fees?"

"It's a pity, Xun Mengji is a very wonderful book, I originally thought that the author was also very talented, but now it seems that the author's talent is there, but the character is gone."

"As soon as the copyright of the film and television adaptation is sold, the author can't wait to jump out and ask for money, which is really speechless, what did you do before! signed a contract and didn't admit it, which is extremely bad, and it is recommended that the literary world boycott such scum! ”

The person who posted this message turned out to be the author under Zhao Zhiqian, Changtian!

"This is really a stone, everyone shouts and beats!"

It's not just that someone left a message under the official Weibo of Oriental Publishing House, but even Liu Qing's Weibo comment area was also scolded, just like that Changtian, he came to Liu Qing's Weibo comment area to leave a message.

It is estimated that Liu Xubing must be looking for someone in secret, and he specially took advantage of the current chaotic opportunity to pour dirty water on Liu Qing.

Because Liu Qing saw that there was already news about him on some small websites.

"After an author quickly became popular, he couldn't wait to break the contract."

"Do you still want the most basic contract spirit?"

"An author does not read the publishing house to dig it up and make it popular, but is greedy!"

A glance at the number of fans on Weibo, there were more than 30,000 fans before, but in just this moment, it has become more than 20,000!

And the number of followers is still decreasing.

"The system releases the task of pretending to be forced, the player Liu Qing pretends to be forced once within 50 hours, so that no less than 200 people will be impressed by you, and you will be rewarded with 3000 merit points for completing the task, and you will be punished by the system if you fail the task......"

"I'll go, is there a mistake?"

Hearing this voice, Liu Qing was dumbfounded, this is really a house leak that happened to rain overnight, and everything was rushed together.

Liu Qing remembered that when Liu Yun called herself in the afternoon, she asked her to stop attacking Liu Xubing on Weibo, and now it seems that she was really prescient.

Liu Xubing's counterattack came quickly, and the timing was very accurate, first vaguely saying on the Internet that Liu Qing had a dispute with the unit because of the issue of remuneration, and then, it was a fine that looked like a stubble, but it had no bullshit effect - he also knew that Liu Qing would definitely not go to work in the unit, and the so-called fine could only be a joke.

After successfully arousing Liu Qing's anger, Liu Xubing's ultimate purpose was finally revealed.

That's a contract.

Liu Qing found that he really underestimated Liu Xubing, and he was able to become the editor-in-chief of Oriental Publishing House, which was naturally not a good stubble.

In this world where credibility and property rights are very important, once others identify no reputation, it means that there is no wall everywhere and there is no way out!

The phone rang, and it was Jiang Wenwen calling.

"What the hell is going on?"

After picking it up, Jiang Wenwen asked straight to the point: "Have you offended the leaders of your publishing house?" ”

"Well, I beat him up in front of my colleagues at the publishing house." Liu Qing said lightly: "It's not a simple offense, but an offense to death." However, you are very well informed, and you can know such small things. ”

"A little thing?"

Jiang Wenwen sneered, "That's what you think, right?" The leader of your unit has already stirred up this matter through his relationship channels, and everyone is eager to make it known. ”

"Is there a chance I'll make headlines tomorrow?"

"The beauty you think of, just your little, at most occupies a corner of the newspaper."

"At this time, if you don't comfort me, forget it, and hit me?"

"Comfort? Don't be funny. You are now facing a crisis, and if you can survive it, your popularity and popularity have increased, if you can't survive, at least you can't stay in Kyoto City, and you can honestly go back to your S City and go to the construction site to move bricks, and you can barely live. ”

Liu Qing smiled bitterly, this Jiang Wenwen is really poisonous enough.

"Okay, I still have something to do here...... Jiang Wenwen said, Liu Qing heard someone on the other side of the phone calling her name, she answered, and hurriedly said: "Liu Qing, no matter what happens in the end, I believe you, you are definitely not that kind of person, okay, bye!" ”

Although Jiang Wenwen has a poisonous tongue, she took time to call herself in her busy schedule, which made Liu Qing's heart warm.

Next, Liu Meixia also called him, asked about this matter, comforted him a few words, and even on the phone, Yaya said in a similar manner, uncle, don't be sad, Yaya knows that you are a good person.

made Liu Qing laugh.

Seeing the news about himself on Weibo, there seems to be a trend of getting worse and worse in the past two days, Liu Qing frowned.

Since Liu Xubing posted those contents on the official Weibo of Oriental Publishing House, Liu Qing did not immediately counterattack as before, but there has been no reaction in the past two days.

His silence was interpreted by the outside world as a tacit acquiescence.

But in reality, language is the most pale and ridiculous explanation in the world. Liu Qing has no need, and he is too lazy to explain anything in words, instead of explaining in words, it is better to prove with actions what the truth is.

But two days have passed, and the task released by the big equipment forcing system is only 5 hours away from the end of the task.

But Liu Qing still didn't think of any good way.

However, he was not discouraged, nor did he give up, but insisted on thinking of a way.

Wang Xiaobo called, "Liu Qing, I have to tell you something, Tianshen Entertainment Company, which bought the copyright of Xunmeng Ji's film and television adaptation, will hold a signing ceremony with our publishing house this afternoon. Do you want to take this opportunity to go to the signing ceremony and make it clear to those reporters? ”

As Liu Qing's colleague who has a good relationship with the publishing house, Wang Xiaobo knows in his heart what is going on. In the past two days, he has also been giving Liu Qing ideas and trying to find a way, but in Liu Qing's opinion, the effect is not very good.

Liu Qing said: "Forget it, this matter, the more it is described, the darker it becomes, unless you can think of a way to find evidence that Liu Xubing did something in the contract, otherwise, it will have no effect." ”

"Then just watching Liu Xubing frame you and not say it, and still use your things to sign a contract to make money?" Wang Xiaobo was very angry.

Liu Qing was speechless, he definitely didn't want to, but he had no choice now, so he could only say a few perfunctory words and hang up the phone.

Lighting a cigarette, Liu Qing took a deep breath, and a sense of powerlessness arose in his heart.

The system reminds the player that there are three hours left before the end of the mission...... If you fail the mission, you will be punished! ”

Hearing the prompt of the big pressure system, Liu Qing suddenly moved in his heart.

"Huh? Punish? ”

Liu Qing was in his pocket, fumbled for a while, and found something.

Exchange potions!

This is a seemingly useless thing obtained when I drew the Peach Blossom Elixir.

"Swap?"

Liu Qing's eyes lit up.

……

"Hurry up, hurry up, move the flower basket over there, and put it over there."

"After signing the contract for a while, where is the red wine that is ready to be used for celebration? By the way, two more cups. ”

Liu Xubing, wearing a neat suit, walked around the venue, and there was still half an hour before the signing ceremony officially began.

He had a smug smile on his face.

Today's signing ceremony is very grand, Tianjin Entertainment is a very well-known film and television entertainment company, and has produced many film and television works with high ratings.

Xun Meng Ji can be favored by Tianshen Entertainment and wants to adapt it into a TV series, which undoubtedly proves that Xun Meng Ji is a very good work.

Even Liu Xubing had to admit this. But at the same time, he was even more proud of his original vision, and he could see at a glance that Xun Mengji had great potential and market, and more importantly, he deceived the copyright with just a little means.

Thinking of Liu Qing's hard work and making a wedding dress for himself, Liu Xubing was proud for a while, if Liu Qing knew a little bit and had a more humble attitude in the publishing house, he might also consider giving him a few thousand yuan in adaptation incentives.

But that guy dared to hit himself!

Not only that, but he also made up jokes on the Internet to ridicule himself, making a lot of noise!

But if you want to fight with yourself, just rely on Liu Qing and he is still a little tender, and he will fight back casually, so his reputation will fall to the bottom, and his reputation will be ruined, and he still wants to gain a foothold in Kyoto City in the future? Let's go to his spring and autumn dreams, or go back to his hometown honestly.

Liu Xubing thought of the pride, he couldn't help humming a little song softly, looking at the busy employees at the scene, he restrained his smile, put his hands behind his back, and pointed out a few words from time to time.

The signing ceremony was held in the open space in front of Tenjin Entertainment Company, and many news media were invited to participate, with the purpose of building momentum before the start of the film.

There was a red carpet around, and one after another, reporters had already entered the venue, and all kinds of shooting instruments with long guns and short guns were in place and ready to shoot.

……

"Xiaobo, I've arrived, where are you?"

Liu Qing wore sunglasses and came to the outside of the venue of the signing ceremony. In addition to the media reporters invited, many people from Tianshen Entertainment Company and Oriental Publishing House also came to the scene today, and at a cursory glance, there were about four or five hundred people.

"Here you go."

After a while, Wang Xiaobo hurriedly walked out and handed Liu Qing a work permit, with which he could enter.

"Thank you, Xiaobo." Liu Qing hung his work card on his chest and followed Wang Xiaobo inside.

"Have you figured it out?" Wang Xiaobo lowered his voice and asked.

"We'll see later." Liu Qing said vaguely.

Wang Xiaobo sighed, in his opinion, the matter has come to this, even if Liu Qing comes here, it will not help - because no one will believe his words at all.

After walking around inside, Liu Qing had an idea.

“…… I'm very happy to be able to sign a contract with Tianjin Entertainment today for the adaptation of Xun Meng Ji......"

Liu Xubing stood on the high platform, full of spirit, and said with a full face.

Liu Qing glanced at Liu Xubing's position, simulated the scene in his heart, and then walked a few meters away, beside the hostess who was holding a tray, red wine, and a goblet.

"Huh? How can there be a mosquito? ”

Liu Qing stretched out his hand, pretended to be above one of the goblets, grabbed a handful, then let go of his hand, paused for a few seconds, and said to himself: "I didn't catch it." ”

Miss Manners gave him a blank look, and secretly wondered in her heart.

In fact, Liu Qing took the opportunity to pour the exchange potion into the goblet - the contents of the big pressure system were invisible to outsiders.

Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed!

“…… I announce that Tianjin Entertainment Company has officially reached an agreement with Oriental Publishing House on the filming of the TV series adaptation of Xun Meng Ji! ”

All the people at the scene applauded warmly.

Liu Qing stared at Miss Manners and saw her walking to the stage with a tray, then put it there, opened the red wine, and poured it into two goblets respectively.

Liu Xubing and the vice president of Tianshen Entertainment Company, the representatives at today's signing ceremony, the two raised their wine glasses, clinked glasses with smiles on their faces, and drank them all.

Putting down the wine glass, the two shook hands with each other, "happy cooperation......"

"Wait a minute!"

Liu Qing took an arrow step, and rushed to the stage in full view of everyone.

"Huh?" Liu Xubing was stunned for a moment, and immediately, his face sank, and he pointed at Liu Qing and said, "What do you want to do?" Hurry down, or I'll have the security guard arrest you!" ”

"Liu Xubing, editor-in-chief Liu."

Liu Qing looked at him with a smile on his face and said loudly: "Why wasn't I, the author, the copyright owner, invited to attend such an important signing ceremony today?" ”

As soon as this sentence came out, everyone below immediately guessed Liu Qing's identity.

It turns out that this guy is Liu Qing, the author of Xunmengji, who made a fuss on Weibo a few days ago.

Right now, his posture is coming to tear it up in public!

Immediately, those news media reporters who had originally come to report perfunctory things instantly seemed to be beaten with chicken blood, and they came to their senses.

A signing ceremony is actually not a big news, but if you add "the original author is dissatisfied and plans to make a big fuss about the signing ceremony", this is definitely proper news!

"Liu Qing, are you the copyright owner? Don't be shameless, okay? ”

Liu Xubing snorted and sneered: "At the beginning, you signed the contract, in black and white, and agreed that all the copyrights of Xun Meng Ji are owned by the publishing house, and now, seeing that Xun Meng Ji has been adapted, you are jealous of the copyright fee for film and television adaptation!" It's really a shame to be a man like you! ”

"The system prompts you, there is one minute left before the end time of the mission, the system penalty, it is coming, and the countdown starts now......"

Liu Qing laughed, pointed at Liu Xubing, and said: "Liu Xubing, you pretend to be quite similar, it was originally just a publishing contract, but it was quietly changed by you to a full copyright contract, do you dare to say that you didn't do anything about the contract at the beginning?" ”

"Joke!" Liu Xubing sneered: "It's obviously a fictitious thing!" If you go on endlessly, believe it or not, I'll call the police and let people arrest you? ”

"Liu Xubing, people are doing it, the sky is watching! Haven't you heard of it? ”

Liu Qing said meaningfully: "I'll just ask you, do you dare to admit in front of everyone that you didn't do anything about the contract?" You tell lies with a clear conscience, and you will be struck by lightning, you know? ”

"Haha!" Liu Xubing smiled disdainfully: "From beginning to end, I haven't done anything in the contract, you are a gentleman with a careful heart, I have a clear conscience, why don't I ......dare to admit it?"

As soon as he was halfway through his words, suddenly, the blue sky and the cloudless sky suddenly lit up.

A bolt of lightning, as if it had eyes, was neither biased nor slanted, and it fell on Liu Xubing accurately!

Bang.

Liu Xubing's hair stood on end, he fell to the ground with his head in the sky, foaming at the mouth and his body convulsed.

For a moment, the audience was silent, and the falling needles could be heard, and everyone was stunned by this scene......

PS: Two chapters combined into one, one big chapter!
