Chapter 183: The Threat of the Editor-in-Chief

"Mr. Su, I'm sorry to disturb you again." Su Wen welcomed the guest into the house, and after serving the tea, the guest said apologetically.

"Editor-in-Chief Yuan is polite." The surprise and surprise in Su Wen's heart had not disappeared, and his eyes were roaming back and forth on the guests.

He didn't expect that Yuan Zizhu, the editor-in-chief of Fangyuan Company, would come to the door again.

This time, Yuanzi Zhu came alone.

Su Wen wants to get the other party's intention with his ass - it must be for the cooperation of the work, to be exact, for the upcoming "Thunderstorm"!

Su Wen was surprised that the editor-in-chief of Yuanda could still come with a smile after making such a big unpleasant scene last time, as if nothing had happened.

Su Wen thought that many people came to discuss the copyright of "Thunderstorm" with him, such as Li Xiuying of Qingxin Company, or Tang Ya of Matrix Company. Who would have thought that neither of them came, the former only asked Concubine Bai Luo to call to find out the news, and as for Tang Ya, there was no trace of him.

Even, Su Wen thought about being someone from other cultural companies who had never dealt with him, but he just didn't think about Yuanzizhu anymore. Therefore, Su Wen was very surprised by the arrival of Yuanzi Note.

What is this, regardless of the previous suspicions, three times to look at the thatched house?

Su Wen finally understood why Yuan Zizhu was able to sit firmly in the position of editor-in-chief in a giant cultural enterprise like Fang Yuan, he did have his advantages, at least, he could put down his body and deal with people, and he could pull down his face to make peace in the case of a falling out.

Sighing slightly, Su Wen said: "Editor-in-chief Yuan, you ...... today"

"Mr. Sue!" Yuan Zizhu directly interrupted Su Wen's words, and said very shamefully, "Let's not go around in circles, let's get straight to the point." Presumably Mr. Su has already guessed my intention, not bad. I am here for Mr. Su's theatrical work. Mr. Su named it "Thunderstorm"? I'm here for this work! ”

Su Wen smiled indifferently and asked, "Editor-in-chief Yuan, Deputy Editor-in-Chief Liang has already left your company?" ”

Yuan Zizhu's face suddenly sank, and he said, "Does Mr. Su have to dwell on this issue?" ”

"It's not a man's style."

Yuanzi said: "The baht must be compared, and the eyes must be repaid." This is not a gentleman's style. ”

"When did I say I was a gentleman?" Su Wen pointed to himself, "Even if I am not a real villain, I am definitely not a gentleman." Besides, isn't there a saying that if you have revenge, you don't take revenge? I swore an oath that I could not break my vow! ”

Yuanzi choked for a moment, took a breath, calmed down, and said, "Mr. Su, don't you ask about the conditions of our cooperation?" ”

Su Wen shrugged.

Yuan Zizhu said: "No matter what conditions the matrix company gives you, we can agree." Even, if you want to be a little higher, you can discuss it. ”

Su Wen's heart moved when he heard this, remembering that Fang Chengshi wanted the publishing copyright of "Thunderstorm", he groaned for a while, and said, "I can mention any conditions?" ”

Yuan Zizhu hesitated for a moment and said: "If I can agree, I can make the decision and agree." ”

Su Wen smiled: "What if I say that I will hand over all the other copyrights of "Thunderstorm" to you, and I want to retain the copyright of physical publishing?" ”

"It can't be!" Yuanzi Note categorically denied it. "Mr. Su, you are too insincere. No cultural company will agree to your conditions, unless you are a great writer of Wang Tianming's level, you don't want to separate the copyright of a work and authorize it. Because you are a theatrical work, mainly a stage performance and physical publication, it must be packaged to a cultural company. Otherwise, who would want to take the risk of running a stage show for you? ”

Su Wen shrugged: "Do you agree to say this?" ”

Yuanzi was so angry: "It's impossible for me to open this opening for you, otherwise our company won't have to live in peace, and every day I will be annoyed to entangled with this kind of copyright with writers." ”

Su Wen spread his hands: "Look, you said that the conditions can be put forward by me." I mentioned you and you didn't agree, so what else is there to talk about! ”

Yuan Zizhu asked rhetorically: "Mr. Su, are you really not sincere at all?" I asked you to put forward the conditions, which means that the ratio of proportional sharing can be discussed, not that copyright can be discussed. If it's a novel, a stage performance, or a game, we can keep it for you, but if it's a play, you can't keep it. ”

Yuanzi noted that Su Wen was not sincere, and it was really not a random accusation, in this world, cultural companies are completely different from publishing houses, publishing houses publish a book, as long as the physical copyright is still in the hands of the writer.

Cultural companies are more of an operation channel, and many of them are one-stop services, because they have to invest a lot of money and manpower to operate the works in the early stage, which is quite risky, so they have to hold more copyrights in their hands, so as not to lose all their money.

Only big writers with high status and fame are qualified to negotiate with cultural companies to retain some copyrights, and other writers who want to retain copyrights can do so, you can only talk about it if you let the publishing house publish it first and prove that your book has a market. However, in this way, the publisher does not have enough funds and means to expand the market for works, which in turn will cause losses to writers.

It's a dilemma.

Su Wenti didn't have much hope for such a condition, he just remembered Fang Chengshi's explanation and mentioned it in passing.

Yuan Zizhu didn't agree, he could only entangle back to the first question: "Editor-in-chief Yuan, I still say that, I don't mind cooperating with anyone, as long as the conditions are favorable to me, I can agree." However, my grievances with Liang Feng made me feel unhappy, I have no ambitions, I just want to live a little more freely. I have a grudge against your deputy editor-in-chief, and I still cooperate with you, how can I be at ease! ”

Yuan Zizhu glanced at Su Wen deeply: "So, are you at odds with Liang Feng?" ”

"Although it is not enough to say that we don't share the sky, at least we will not exist under the roof of the same company with him!" Su Wen said it categorically.

Yuanzi was expressionless and said: "Mr. Su, I won't tell you, in fact, I also have a lot of opinions about Liang Feng, and sometimes I don't like him. However, there is nothing I can do about it. To tell you the truth, Liang Feng is a relative of the big boss of our company, and no one can fire him without the consent of the big boss. Although I am the editor-in-chief, Fangyuan Company is a family business, and I only have some dry shares in it, and I have no actual shares at all. I have a say in business, personnel appointments and dismissals, and I can't say anything about them. So ......"

"So you just came to me by chance?" Su Wen was a little annoyed, "Editor-in-Chief Yuan, you said that I was not sincere, I think you are the most insincere." Didn't agree to my conditions. Don't let me take revenge, why should I cooperate with your company? ”

Yuan Zizhu shook his head and said: "Mr. Su, don't talk too much, don't underestimate our company, and don't underestimate Liang Feng's energy." Do you know, the last time I left you, Liang Feng asked people to inquire about your movements in the cultural market. If nothing else, your poetry collection "If Life Is Only as First Seen" will be released at the end of this month, right? ”

Su Wen was shocked when he heard this, and said, "So what? ”

Yuanzi Zhu smiled but did not smile: "The publisher of your poetry collection is just a pitifully small publishing house. There is not much strength at all, and there is not much ability to resist blows. To tell you the truth, Liang Feng said at that time that he wanted to teach you a lesson. How to teach? Sniping you in the market! Inquire when your poetry collection will be published, what route you will take, how to manage it, and then design countermeasures, fight with you, and publish poetry collections by poets who are more famous than you. Sniping you head-on in Dongguang Province. In addition, various channels are launched. Smear your poetry collection, make it impossible for you to sell, and hit your prestige and fame. ”

Su Wen was shocked and angry when he heard this, weren't these ways all what he had planned before, and later he saw that Fang Yuan Company had no movement. He won't bother anymore.

Could it be that the other party is secretly carrying out this plan, just waiting for two days to snipe his "If Life Is Only as First Seen"?

Thinking of this, Su Wen felt that he couldn't sit at ease, and wanted to inform Fang Chengshi to take corresponding countermeasures.

Catching a glimpse of Yuan Zizhu's indifferent face, Su Wen's heart moved. Gradually calmed down, and asked, "What does Editor-in-Chief Yuan mean by saying these things here, threatening me?" Or do you want to blackmail me? ”

"It's not a threat." Motoko smiled and said, "Because of these suggestions, our company didn't do it." ”

"Didn't do it?"

"Yes, it wasn't done, because I didn't agree." Motoko pointed to herself.

"Why?" Su Wen was stunned.

Motoko replied, "Because the gains outweigh the losses." There are two reasons, the first is that in order to snipe a writer, more manpower and material resources have to be used to operate, and now the genre of poetry is not easy to do, even if the writer is famous, he may not be able to sell much. Once the sales are not good, will we lose the manpower and material resources we use? Our Fangyuan company is a commercial company, for the purpose of profit, not to fight with others. To do this line of work, you must offend people, and you must have grievances with people, if everyone has to think about dealing with it, our company would have closed down long ago! ”

Su Wen looked up at Yuan Zizhu, and there was only one voice in his heart: This is the person who understands! I don't know how much better than Liang Feng, Yuan Zizhu knows that he is Fang Yuan's literary editor-in-chief, whether a work is good or not, whether it is a loss or a loss, is related to his performance. He is not a fool, of course he refuses to let Liang Feng toss like this, after all, this is an act that harms others and himself.

Yuan Zizhu continued: "The second reason is that I don't want to completely tear my face with you. ”

"Me?"

"Yes, it's you Su Wen!"

"Why?" Su Wen asked again.

Yuan Zizhu looked at Su Wen deeply and said slowly: "Because I am optimistic about your literary future!" I have lived most of my life, and I have seen many literary geniuses who became famous at a young age, but there is no shortage of geniuses in this world. You Su Wen is also a genius, but you are a different genius. ”

"Isn't it different?" Su Wen snorted.

"I've seen all of your works, and it's rare for an eighteen-year-old person to write so many profound and classic articles. In the past, most of the young geniuses were still writing youth campus literature, but you, as soon as "A Doll's House" came out, it was convincing. If you compare the experience of those great writers when they were young, to be honest, your Su Wen's achievements are even more dazzling than Wang Tianming of the same age! With your talent, as long as you don't go the wrong way, create with peace of mind, and continue to develop, you will be the next Wang Tianming! ”

More dazzling than Wang Tianming!

Wang Tianming is now a great writer, and he can almost be said to be the business card of Chinese literature!

Yuanzizhu compared Su Wen to the next Wang Tianming, which shows how much he values Su Wen.

Taking a deep breath, Su Wen said helplessly: "Editor-in-Chief Yuan, no matter how much you praise me, you don't meet my conditions, I don't think we still have anything to talk about." ”

"Really?" Yuan Zizhu smiled indifferently, "Praise you, that's because I really like you and don't want to completely tear my face with you, after all, Wang Tianming-level writers, no cultural company wants to offend." As for our cooperation, there are some things that I have to make clear with Mr. Su. ”

"What's the matter?" Su Wen saw that Yuanzi Note was cautious and a little puzzled.

"Mr. Su, Tang Ya of the Matrix Company shouldn't have contacted you yet, right?" Yuan Zizhu didn't answer and asked, "Don't you think it's strange?" Your work was adapted by Zhang Fangge, and now it is making a big noise, and your fame is also the highest time. At this time, you release the news that the new drama has been written, and it stands to reason that the matrix company that has already worked with you has no reason not to contact you in the first place. Even I'm here, Tang Ya hasn't come yet, do you think it's normal? ”

Su Wen was terrified when he heard this: "What do you mean ......?"

Yuanzi Zhu Youyou said: "Although we Fangyuan and Matrix are competitors, but in our company, it is not all a struggle, there must be a place for cooperation, otherwise it will be cheaper for others." There is an unwritten rule between our two companies, which is to divide the market between the north and the south. Although they can enter each other's territory, there are some rules that still have to be followed, for example, you can't grab famous writers within each other's range unless the other party agrees! ”

Su Wen's face was red and white.

Yuanzi said leisurely: "Our Fangyuan headquarters is in Yuezhou, and you Su Wen is a native of Yuezhou!" ”

"That's because you're at odds with me!" Su Wen couldn't help but shout, "Are you going to threaten the other Matrix Company with your fingers?" ”

Yuanzi said leisurely: "But we didn't agree!" It's true that they've eaten the realm, but they've broken the rules. If there are no rules in this world, won't it be chaotic? For example, if we Fang Yuan also went to the north to grab land with them, it would be a mess. So, our company has already communicated with the people in their matrix head office. They also recognized their mistakes and said they would stop and correct them. ”

Yuanzi's note is light, and the so-called communication must involve the negotiation and exchange of interests.

Yuanzi Note also said: "If we reach a consensus with the two major companies of Fangyuan and Matrix and advance and retreat together, there are really not many people who dare to fight against us in this place of three acres of land in Huaxia." So...... Mr. Su, don't say too much about some things, and think carefully about who you want to work with. ”

Threat! The threat of the red fruit!

Su Wen's face suddenly sank. (To be continued......)
