Chapter 84: The PR Crisis of the Plagiarism Incident
In Lin Xingquan's impression, August and September 2006 were not much of a major event. But it turned out that the reason why she didn't remember this time was only because she was busy studying hard during that time in her previous life.
And now that I'm busy at home, I find that things don't seem right.
On August 10th, a bombshell news sternly hit people's attention - the famous writer Hu Qian sued the popular writer You Xi of Rong Shuyin for plagiarism. The two works involved in the case are Hu Qian's "Yuan" and You Xi's "Withered".
As soon as this incident appeared on the headlines of various news and web pages, Lin Xingquan immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
She remembered the incident, but she didn't remember the exact time of the incident. I didn't expect this to happen at this time!
And this matter and the time period were seated together, and Lin Xingquan connected the whole thing together.
Hu Qian first demanded that You Xi publicly apologize, compensate for the loss, and then stop selling "Withered". As for You Xi, who had publicly claimed in the media that his favorite writer was Hu Qian, he immediately changed his words, changed his face like a flip book, and kept saying that he didn't know Hu Qian, let alone read her books, saying that he was not afraid of being framed.
In the end, the court made a public judgment, You Xi was sentenced to pay 250,000 yuan in compensation to Hu Qian, and stopped selling "Withered", since then this incident has become an indelible stain on him, and what is even more outrageous is that I don't know if it is really his fans or the water army he hired, and he actually abused Hu Qian on the Internet to excuse You Xi. And You Xi also refused to apologize publicly.
As a result, You Xi's character really fell out of control, and even several pillar-level writers of Banyan Shuyin were ashamed to be with him, and they left one after another to find another master, which directly led to the collapse of Banyan Shuyin.
This public relations handling is really too bad, not only did it not handle it well externally, but the internal reconciliation was also too bad.
And when this turmoil happened. You Xi is still a popular writer of Banyan Shuyin, which means that the public relations handling of this turmoil was arranged by Banyan Shuyin. That is, the public relations team of the Junyue faction in the past......
In the previous life, the head of public relations of the Junyue faction in the past was 100% Yin Lu! No wonder it did this!
Self-centeredness without a bottom line, unthinking protection of shortcomings, and aftermath without any skills.
This is Yin Lu's biggest shortcoming, and in the end it has become a huge flaw in her public relations ability.
Lin Xingquan inevitably speculated again. Is it because this matter was messed up, Yin Lu couldn't stay in the public relations department, and then went to work as a secretary. And Zhao Chen, as Yin Lu's top boss, had to carry a black pot and resign directly?
Too likely.
And now, the head of public relations of Banyan Shuyin is also a newcomer...... Don't be careful!
Lin Xingquan immediately asked Chen Xin about Junyue's decision-making, but Chen Xin was confused: "Secretary Lin, this is a subsidiary matter, just let Zhao Chen supervise the person in charge over there." I think Zhao Chen can still believe it. ”
Can it be believed!? Lin Xingquan felt a headache.
Sure enough, Zhao Chen is likely to resign because of this incident!
Although Banyan Shade is a literary website that is more traditional than the physical route, the current profit is not as good as that of other online literature. But more or less it is well-known in the circle. And Banyan Shuyin is full of talents, many people, even You Xi, a person with black spots, later left Banyan Shuyin, he is still thriving, leading his team alone, and soon overtook the slowly declining Banyan Shuyin, and finally singled out the world of youth literature, which is really not to be underestimated......
Wait, so to speak, Lin Xingquan finally knew why Zhao Chen and Yin Lu at that time would rather smear their bodies than protect You Xi. It's a strange thing to live in.
Even Lin Xingquan suddenly hesitated. Is it so light that you have to give up You Xi.
However, she finally made up her mind.
Cut!
Because even if she protects You Xi, she knows the results of her previous life.
You Xi was very grateful to his old club and continued to stay in Banyan Shade, but the other writers left Banyan Shade because they couldn't see it. You Xi is in charge of the overall situation, and seems to be actively cultivating new talents for Banyan Shade to revive its glory. In the end, he took these new stars that he and Banyan Shade had cultivated together to leave Banyan Shade and set up their own doors.
This is for the sake of a white-eyed wolf, and other reliable people are abandoned!
can't take care of it, even if you have to confront the first team of domestic youth literature led by You Xi in the future, you can't repeat the mistakes of your previous life.
Moreover, if those writers in the same batch as You Xi did not go. Later, if anyone left with the team, it is not known whether the banyan shade will fall or not.
Lin Xingquan decisively went to find Zhao Chen.
"What do you do about the banyan shade?"
Although Lin Xingquan is still sitting next to him now, after such a long time, her status has been very different, so Zhao Chen still replied seriously: "I handed it over to Yi Jiashi, the head of public relations over there in Banyan Shuyin, after discussing with his colleagues in the public relations department, he decided to talk to Hu Qian privately first, whether he could solve the problem with money, and the maximum compensation of 450,000 yuan was a large amount!" Because Youxi is also relatively rare for Banyan Shade, and then the sales of "Withered" are also very large, we don't want to lose anything......"
Then Zhao Chen saw Lin Xingquan's obviously angry sneer.
"It's okay to think about it, I remember that "Withered" has sold more than 600,000 yuan, and it is still selling well, and "Yuan" is not a quarter of "Withered" at all, right? You think you can calm Hu Qian's anger by spending a little money, right? ”
“……”
Zhao Chen didn't dare to speak for an instant, but muttered in his heart, do you think these writers are really noble, and they don't see money? Of course, he also thought that for these writers, fame is also quite important. It is because it is not as famous as You Xi that Hu Qian's "Yuan" will be unknown. If after such a fuss, the fame comes up, are you afraid that you won't be able to make money? Is it rare for you to pay that little compensation?
If you really want Hu Qian to really look at the face of money and not make trouble, the 450,000 yuan is definitely not enough, far from enough.
"What is Youxi's attitude? Can he pull down his body and apologize to Hu Qian. Lin Xingquan asked again.
In her original impression, You Xi was actually not bad. When she was in junior high school, she was fascinated by his books and thought that this was an innocent teenager. And this year, You Xi was only nineteen years old, and in Lin Xingquan's opinion, he was still an immature child.
Later, he was selfish, maybe he was used to it by the company, by the people around him, and by his group of fans.
If he has the idea of repentance, then he can still be saved, Lin Xingquan doesn't want to do things too much. (To be continued.) )
