Chapter 32: Serialized Novel Decision
Shen Cong, a veteran in the workplace, never expected that Wu Haitao not only asked Chu Yanran to preside over the meeting, but also asked for an unprecedented high price for the manuscript. You must know that the traditional newspaper industry also has the form of a manuscript, but the quotation is generally only a few hundred or thousand, even if it is a famous work, it is only a few thousand yuan.
But Wu Haitao made the decision, 2,000 yuan per article, and it was grandly displayed in the form of a headline layout.
At first, Shen Cong thought it was a famous artist, which made the editor-in-chief think about it. But in the end, I found out that it was actually for a novel serialized on the Internet, what is it called the first intimate contact, the author is only a fledgling college student, and he has not yet graduated!
Wu Haitao has been at the helm of Qingjiang Metropolis Daily for more than ten years, starting from an unknown editor, and only then has he has today's status. Shen Cong had never doubted Wu Haitao, but this time, he was full of doubts deep in his heart.
Wu Haitao has to go back the more he lives, the older he gets, the more confused he becomes. How many people can read something written by college students, and how much can an article be worth thousands of dollars?
"Editor-in-chief, I would like to say that we have tried this form of serialized fiction before, but it did not work well. I think it's better to forget it, a guy who doesn't have any reputation, let's promote him and give her the manuscript fee, and suffer a loss. ”
"Editor-in-chief, Shen Cong is right. This form of serialization is generally suitable for magazines, after all, we are local tabloids, and the audience is only those people, and no one reads this kind of novel. It's still in a striking position on the headlines, and I think it's better to sell it as an advertising space. ”
"Editor-in-chief, I am also against this plan. As a college student, an online writer, and a writer who writes online novels, he also calls himself a writer. Then aren't the famous artists of our Qingjiang Writers Association all great writers. ”
Everyone is arguing fiercely, and basically there are opposing opinions.
Wu Haitao's eyes narrowed slightly, and then asked Chu Yanran to introduce the basic information of Wu Xie, a writer.
"Wu Xie is a student at the School of Broadcasting of Qingjiang University of Communication and Communication, but his literary literacy is excellent. Just a few days after the novel was released online, it broke many records for the Chinese network. The total amount of rewards on the second day reached more than 10,000 yuan, and as the book spreads deeply, it will inevitably trigger a new round of communication effect. If our newspaper can win the serialization rights, it will definitely be able to drive sales......"
"Yanran, it's not that I don't believe it. But you talked about it for a long time, and you didn't say the title of the book he wrote, how do we know how the other party wrote! Shen Cong still has reservations.
"Uh, blame me, so excited. I forgot to mention it, and he wrote a novel! ”
Hearing this, Shen Cong secretly slandered himself. Just one copy? I thought he was some kind of prolific writer. It turned out to be a newbie, and the newbie offer is so high? It won't be a relational account!
First intimate encounter!
"Oh my God!" Li Yan screamed in frustration.
"Why, Sister Yan, you know this novel!"
"Satoshi, if it's really this novel serialized, then I personally agree with the editor-in-chief's idea with both hands. No, hands and feet agree. You may not know how popular this novel is right now......"
What the!
The author of the first intimate contact is the author of Chu Yanran's report, the author of the editor-in-chief's request for serialization, and the author of Sister Yan's mouth that makes countless boys and girls crazy......
Shen Cong's eyes were shocked, and even his body trembled slightly.
The first intimate contact, fire, very fire.
But compared to the book itself, the author seems obscure. Maybe they say the pen name of Sanlu Eighteen, and he still understands it, but when he says Wu Xie, the ghost knows who it is.
Now, Shen Cong suddenly realized that Chu Yanran's junior brother turned out to be the author of the first intimate contact, and he was still a college student!
Immediately, Shen Cong grabbed the sample issue of Qingjiang Metropolis Daily that day and browsed Wu Xie's personal information in detail.
Wu Xie, male, student at the School of Broadcasting, Qingjiang University of Communication and Communication, only ......
What, only 20 years old! No, less than 20 years old, to be exact!
Shen Cong was completely stunned, in his impression, even if it was a college student, he should be a junior or senior student, but who expected the other party to be so young.
……
Ten minutes later!
Wu Xie received a call from Chu Yanran, saying that Qingjiang Metropolis Daily was going to open a section of serialized novels, and it would be displayed as a headline, and their editor-in-chief heard that he was the author of the first intimate contact, and hoped that he would become the first person to eat crabs. Subsequently, she focused on explaining some manuscript fees and other related matters, hoping that Wu Xie would think about it for a few days and give them an answer!
Wu Xie didn't even think about it, and directly agreed to the other party.
The first intimate contact was that the contract copyright was relatively free, and the newspaper only wanted a serial right, not any copyright, he called the black-hearted grandmother, and the other party said that it was okay at the time. After all, Qingjiang Metropolis Daily is also a kind of media, which is of great benefit to the improvement of Wu Xie's reputation and fame.
Sister Yan and other editors and reporters of Qingjiang Metropolis Daily, and even Wu Haitao, the editor-in-chief who has seen the world, looked anxious, staring at Chu Yanran who hung up the phone without blinking.
How's that, what's going on!
Everyone's anxiety was written on their faces, but seeing Chu Yanran's relaxed expression and smiling face, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
It's done!
Qingjiang Metropolis Daily's new column - serialized novels have become!
The first writer of serialized novels is the current hot writer, the author of the first intimate contact.
Wu Haitao exhaled lightly, and his hanging heart finally relaxed. It is foreseeable that the circulation of Qingjiang Metropolis Daily will inevitably increase to a certain extent in the next few days, and as long as it is stable for a few days, it is not certain that the leadership will change the decision to revoke Qingjiang Metropolis Daily.
A few days ago, the senior management of Qingjiang Metropolis Daily inadvertently revealed that the traditional newspaper industry in Qingjiang will be reshuffled in the future, and Qingjiang Metropolis Daily is impressively on the shuffle list.
Wu Haitao did not sue any newspaper people about this. That's why he's standing out today.
Shen Cong frowned slightly, without the slightest joy on his face.
As for it, let's not talk about whether the novel can be serialized or not, just hiring a college student to serialize the article will reincarnate the jokes of other newspapers.
What if it succeeds?
So what, the newspaper is not going to be disbanded yet. His wife quietly told him yesterday that Qingjiang Metropolis Daily had been on the leader's list of newspaper companies to be dismissed, and it was estimated that in two weeks, the news would be announced in a month at the latest.
Qingjiang Metropolis Daily, a big family, is about to fall, so he doesn't bother to care about the editor-in-chief's nonsense before he dies. The top priority now before him is to find a new job, lest he rejoin the workforce after the newspaper is disbanded.
Chu Yanran stuck out her tongue cutely, full of emotions, both shocked and happy.
She never thought that an ordinary interview would become an improvement in her career, not only appreciated by the editor-in-chief, but also privately told him that if there was no accident, a month later, she would be turned positive.
Regularization? And it's still a positive one.
Happiness came too suddenly, and it was unexpected. And this qiē is all because of a book, a person.
