009: Arrogance
500 remuneration for 1,000 words!
The day after Ling Donglai and the Oriental Daily, the Oriental Daily published the news with a front-page headline. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Ma Chengkun is a young man, and while the young man has little experience, he is also full of momentum.
As soon as he signed a contract with Ling Donglai, Ma Chengkun personally ordered the "Oriental Daily" to announce the news, especially the news that the "Oriental Daily" had spent 500 words to sign the serial rights of "Xun Qin" in the form of the front page headline of the "Oriental Daily", and this news also spread all over Xiangjiang with the release of the latest Oriental Daily!
As soon as this news came out, "Oriental Daily" and Ling Donglai immediately became the center of the storm of public opinion.
Although Ni Frame once received a remuneration of 500 words from Huang Yulang, he is a well-known novelist in Xiangjiang. Everyone saw that Ni Frame had received such a high remuneration, although they were not angry, but Ni Frame had been in Xiangjiang for 20 years, and his status and qualifications were already there, and he could suppress people.
Even so, there are countless industry peers who have wildly criticized Huang Yulang and Ni Frame for breaking the rules.
How can Ling Donglai be a novelist, but a novel author who has just released a book, and his remuneration is the same as that of Ni Frame?
Why?
In response to "Oriental Daily" and Ling Donglai, other media are almost crazy.
However, this kind of "scolding" will not ruin Ling Donglai's reputation, but will make him worth a lot.
For example, Ni Frame, who was also scolded by many media a few months ago for being open-minded to money, but in the end, the stingy Jin Yong was forced to increase the manuscript fee for Ni Frame......
"Oriental Daily" also has many benefits, not only becoming the focus of public opinion, but also continuing to speculate on newspaper sales. Moreover, the high manuscript fee given by "Oriental Daily" to Ling Donglai will also attract a large number of red-eyed authors to actively submit and jump ship.
Six days after "The Legend of Qin" was serialized in the Oriental Daily, as the climax of the novel's plot approached, the newspaper's sales soared again, reaching 160,000 copies.
"Oriental Daily" once again won the throne of "Hong Kong newspaper sales champion" with a martial arts novel, and the entire Hong Kong press was shocked.
You must know that the resurgence of the Wesley series half a year ago only increased the sales of "Ming Pao" by more than 20,000 copies, but "Xun Qin Ji" directly increased the sales of "Oriental Daily" from less than 100,000 copies to 160,000 copies!
Before that, the sales of "Oriental Daily" had declined for more than a year, and it was about to decline.
"I didn't expect that." Seeing that the sales of "Oriental Daily" are rising day by day, and now it is even pressed on the head of "Ming Pao", Jin Yong's heart, which originally had only a little bit of loss and regret, has risen even more.
If he had known that "Xun Qin" would be such a big hit, he would definitely open a new novel column for Ling Donglai in the supplement, and then personally supervise the newspaper editor to delete and change the meat drama in "Xun Qin".
"The afterlife is terrifying!"
Just as Kim Yong was sighing, there was a knock on the door.
Editor-in-chief Pan Yuesheng walked in with an ugly face, still holding a red invitation card in his hand.
"Yue Sheng, is there something wrong?" Jin Yong took off his glasses and wiped them, "Yue Sheng, angry, what's the matter?" ”
"Mr. Cha, this Ma Chengkun is too much, he is simply a Zhongshan wolf, and his ambition is rampant." Pan Yuesheng put the big red invitation on Jin Yong's table and scolded angrily: "His "Oriental Daily" has sold 160,000 copies, what kind of celebration banquet is going to be held, and the invitation card is sent to us!" ”
Pan Yuesheng does have reason to be angry, it is not a big deal for "Oriental Daily" to hold a celebration banquet in order to sell more than 160,000 copies, to put it bluntly, this is someone's own business.
But sending the invitation to Ming Pao is really a bit excessive, and this kind of behavior is to raise the slap and slap the face of "Ming Pao".
Pan Yuesheng is the editor-in-chief of Ming Pao, if he can not get angry in this case, then Pan Yuesheng does not need to engage in newspapers, and he goes directly to the temple to shave his head, and he is definitely a generation of monks.
"Young man." Jin Yong was not good at words, and he looked at the red invitation and felt very dazzling, and he was silent for a while before saying: "Young people are always like this. ”
"Mr. Cha, we can't watch that surnamed Ma go so rampant." Pan Yuesheng said excitedly: "I have to teach him some lessons!" ”
"Yue Sheng, don't get too excited." Jin Yong shook his head and said, "Young man, it's inevitable to be arrogant. ”
Although Jin Yong is persuading Pan Yuesheng not to get excited, in fact, Jin Yong himself has inevitably been angry, and his evaluation of Ma Chengkun's behavior is 'flying and domineering', which reflects this.
"Mr. Cha!"
"Okay Yue Sheng, I know you're angry." Jin Yong said: "The battle of will is not the right way to run a newspaper, just say these words here with me, don't spread them when you go out." Besides, even though "Oriental Daily" relied on the big sales of the book "Looking for Qin" to take advantage of a momentary opportunity, it is difficult to say what the future holds. ”
PS. I went to the field these days because of work, and because it was very urgent, I didn't have time to say a word to you, and Kitty apologized to everyone here.
