Zheng Long carefully looked at some of the words on the website and found that they were all brainless, so he had a preliminary judgment in his heart. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Immediately afterward, he looked at many similar websites and found that these websites have a common feature, that is, they are not big websites, and the source of the news is uncertain, so it can almost be concluded that this should be regarded as a water army operation.

"I didn't expect there to be such a thing as a water army so early!"

It stands to reason that in Zheng Long's memory, the water army should have come into being with the gradual development of the Internet. In 2001, the development of the Internet was still very insufficient, several major portals still used very old pages, many people were still used to chatting with strangers in chat rooms, and the water army should have two or three years before the climate gradually formed...

But here, the appearance of the water army should be in advance. However, this is actually very easy to understand, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. And Zheng Long also knows that there are not a few people he has offended.

He quietly closed the page, trying to figure out how to solve the thorny puzzle.

The night is as cool as water.

The summer heat is fading, and with it comes the smell of early autumn. The most obvious manifestation is that the little girl who loves beauty the most has also begun to wear long sleeves, because the night breeze blows, it is really cold...

Augustren was still sitting in the office of "Budding", carefully watching the new submissions.

He shook his head from time to time, and the bitterness in his heart could not be expressed.

"Hey, today's submissions are really Wang Xiaoer's New Year, and a year is not as good as a year..."

As soon as Shi Yi, who was sitting next to him, heard his words, he couldn't help but quip:

"August man, you've said this three times today..."

"Really? That proves that the current submissions are really not as good as before..."

"Well, isn't it. There is so much entertainment nowadays, and there are not many children who are willing to read, and what they can write is simply rare..."

What made them work overtime was actually because of the 50th anniversary of the "Sprout" magazine. It has been 50 years since the founding of "Budding" magazine in the blink of an eye, and the ups and downs that have gone through in the past 50 years are really embarrassing.

But now, even though the magazine has held a "New Concept Essay Contest" in a pioneering manner, it still can't resist the general trend of the overall decline of traditional paper media.

The so-called Chunjiang plumbing duck prophet, the editors in the magazine are often the first to feel the decline of the paper media. If a newspaper told the news in 1985, it was probably known the next day; By 1995, newspapers, magazines, periodicals were still powerful; And in 2001, although the afterglow of the paper media was still there, it was already as if it had seen the shadow of decline.

In this year, the sales of pure literary magazines such as "October" and "Flower City" began to decline sharply. Many writers who rely on pure literature for a living have begun to appear in colleges and universities and major media outlets to earn some extra money to support their families.

However, even though they know that the decline of print media is inevitable, they still have to make the final struggle on their own, and this is what the editors of these magazines really think. After all, these editors were also literary enthusiasts from the beginning, and a large part of the reason for engaging in this low-money profession is that they do have an incomparable love for this industry.

The August Man was lost in thought, and suddenly, a tall figure appeared in front of him...

The whole thing blocked his view...

"I said, has the magazine thought about it, is it going to push me or him?"

The speaker's tone was menacing, and there was a hint of unquestionable feeling.

That's right, it's Zhang Xue!

His face was already tilted to the right, perhaps because there were too many worries lately, which made his face sad. If he was still a little good-looking before, now this honor is really hateful.

He may also know that his face is terrible, and he is a little self-aware, and wears a mask.

"Teacher Zhang Xue!"

The August man quickly stood up.

"Where, I think there must be a misunderstanding between you and Zheng Long..."

August said with a smile on his face. After all, as an editor of a magazine, I don't want the popular authors in the magazine to make such a big fuss. The literary world is so big, you can't see anyone who looks up and looks down, leave a line in everything, and it's good to meet in the future!

"Whew! Did he Zheng Long give me face? How did he bury me at the Author Conference? With this kind of newcomer, do you really plan to praise it? In the future, you are not afraid that his wings will harden and dismantle your platform? ”

August didn't know how to respond to Zhang Xue's words, so he had to laugh dryly...

"Ahem..."

The scene was very embarrassing, the two confronted each other for a full fifteen seconds, and Zhang Xue rushed out again:

"I don't care! In short, you "Budding" magazine decide for yourself, with him without me, with me without him! There is only one Lord who can stay in this land! You magazines don't want to be a good guy, I'm going to tear my face with him! ”

If Zhang Xue was still a little face-saving to the magazine before, and did not publicly expose the contradictions between the two in the media, now he can be regarded as a broken jar.

Perhaps because of the unsatisfactory success of his new book, Zhang Xue realized that if he didn't get rid of this newcomer at this time, he was afraid that he would really never have any chance in the future.

Maybe it's really like Zheng Long himself said, he is the rising star, and Zhang Xue is just a background man, who will eventually be abandoned in the afterglow of the sunset...

Thinking of this, Zhang Xue trembled. He knows how miserably the authors who have been abandoned by their readers have died!

There is no best-selling novelist who did not climb up by stepping on the blood and tears of others!

None of them aren't!

After saying this, Zhang Xue threw her head out of the door without looking back...

Leaving August and Shi Yi with a stunned expression...

"August people... What should I do? Our star of this issue of "Budding", should we hurry up and replace people? ”

"Let me think..."

The so-called "budding" star is that "budding" magazine will launch a rising star every quarter, and it is the author that the magazine will promote next. Although the sales of the magazine have been declining, in 2001, this star of "Budding" still had considerable influence, and it can be described as a temple in the hearts of all literary and artistic young men and women.

This column of the star of "Sprout" is located on the title page of the magazine, and according to the concept of online novels, it should be regarded as a closed push. Just as the closure of online novels can maximize the number of clicks of the author, the author who has appeared on the star of "Budding" can often reach the peak of popularity within half a year in the future.

Han Shao, as well as Guo Mingming, Zhang Yueran and others in later generations, have all been on this column.

Originally, the star of this issue of "Budding", August People and other magazine editors had already been assigned to Zheng Long. After all, his achievements in publishing the traditional Chinese version in the bend have been passed back, and the magazine also wants to take advantage of this east wind to promote a wave of popularity, which also makes his popularity reach its peak.

Moreover, the next issue of the magazine has already been typeset and is waiting to be sent to the printing house for printing.

However, the rumors that leaked out of nowhere made Zhang Xue run over to question today...

Now, it's really unflattering.

If Zheng Long is replaced, it will inevitably be replaced by Zhang Xue, so Zheng Long is likely to have a lot of complaints about the magazine because of this replacement turmoil in the future.

And if Zhang Xue's request is ignored and not replaced, then the magazine will be equivalent to permanently losing Zhang Xue's manuscript.

A rising star, a popular suspense writer who has matured.

It's hard to choose!
