Chapter 137: Press Conference
137 press conference
Ma Youwei finally persuaded the magazine.
The first is that you don't have any other choice!
Second, after this period of operation and drilling, Ma Youwei's influence in the magazine has become more and more great.
So although many employees and several editors felt that it was too risky to publish "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in this issue, and if one was not good, the reputation of the magazine's hard work would collapse, but everyone didn't say anything anymore, just concentrated on doing things.
Early the next morning, Ma Youwei went out to do some errands, and then returned to the magazine.
He had just appeared at the door, and a large group of reporters surrounded him at once.
"Mr. Ma, has the crisis of your magazine been resolved?"
"Editor-in-Chief Ma, it is rumored that the special authors of your "October" have gone to "Southern Literature", is it true?"
"Mr. Ma, is it impossible for your listing plan to be realized?"
One by one, the reporters bombarded indiscriminately and threw out questions.
Ma Youwei is also the spokesperson of the magazine, at this time in the past, he mostly chose to be silent, or weak-minded to talk about other things, but today, when he heard the reporter's question, he stopped, smiled, and waved to the reporter in the distance: "A few reporter friends in the distance, I am going to be interviewed by everyone, do you want to be together?" ”
Those reporters actually didn't want to interview Ma Youwei, through the contact in the past few days, they felt that this guy was too cunning and could hardly ask anything substantial, but at this moment, Ma Youwei shouted like this, so they had to quickly trot over.
"Okay, I'll explain it in a unified way, and if I finish explaining that everyone still has unclear questions, I'll ask again, okay?" Ma Youwei asked with a smile.
The reporters were stunned: This Ma Youwei, did he take the wrong medicine today? Something is wrong!
The reporters nodded hurriedly and replied yes.
Ma Youwei smiled: "I know that during this period of time, the outside world has had some misunderstandings about our magazine, and these misunderstandings are all kinds of things, some say that the organizational structure of our magazine is unreasonable, some say that our employment mechanism is cronyism, and some people say that our work efficiency is low or something, of course, the most serious one is that the group of special authors that our magazine has worked hard to build up has been disintegrated by "Southern Literature" or something, and a typical example is He Haiping's breach of contract to join "Southern Literature". Actually, these are all misconceptions. ”
When a reporter heard this, he was excited: "Teacher Ma, do you mean that Mr. He Haiping's breach of contract is fake?" ”
Other reporters also asked.
Ma Youwei hurriedly interrupted: "Fellow journalists, don't get excited, listen to me first, okay?" ”
The reporters looked at each other, and then there was silence again.
"Some of the things you are talking about exist, such as how Haiping's works no longer appear in the magazines of our magazine, but some are misunderstandings, the reason why how Haiping's works do not appear in our magazines is not because of the southern literature from it, but actually because our October magazine deliberately did it?"
What the?
As soon as the reporters heard it, they fryed the pan.
"Mr. Ma, are you sure what you said is true?"
"Teacher Ma, Teacher He Haiping breached the contract first, isn't this already a sure thing? I heard that your indictment has already been written, isn't it true? ”
Ma Youwei stretched out his hand and pressed it in the void, and waited until everyone was quiet, then replied with a smile: "Everyone knows that in order to cooperate with the listing, our magazine has carried out drastic reforms in many places, organizational structure, operation and management, assessment and evaluation, etc., etc., all aspects, everyone should know about these, right?" However, in fact, there is another aspect of reform that everyone has not noticed, and that is the repositioning of our October magazine concept! ”
"Repositioning? What do you mean? "The reporters were confused.
Ma Youwei smiled and continued to explain: "Everyone knows that we are a popular magazine in October, what is popular, we used to understand simply, the so-called popular is what ordinary people love to read, this definition is not very clear, so today, some people interpret popular as vulgar, but obviously, this is wrong."
So from now on, we have repositioned our magazine, October Magazine is a pursuing, tasteful, valuable and cultural popular literature magazine, in other words, we are completely different from the so-called popular is vulgar concept of some magazines, therefore, some of the manuscripts we invited before, some of the writers we signed before, are no longer in line with the new concept of our magazine, so we do not hesitate to remove him, even if it will be a lawsuit because of this, we will not hesitate! ”
The reporters were stunned when they heard this.
What's going on?
Didn't the previous rumors say that He Haiping breached the contract first? How did it become that he was rejected by October Magazine?
A reporter immediately asked: "Teacher Ma, do you mean that Teacher He Haiping is too vulgar?" ”
"No, no, no." Ma Youwei hurriedly shook his head, and then, he said with a smile: "However, I am very sure to tell you that our magazine will launch a pursuit, tasteful, valuable and cultural popular this month - "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", he is the author of "Bright Sword" Mr. Xiaoshan's painstaking work, whether it is readable or literary or what, it is no exaggeration, it can be called a classic, if you don't believe it, you will wait and see, our October magazine will publish such works as "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in the future! ”
After saying this, Ma Youwei immediately left the scene quickly with the help of the staff, leaving only a stunned reporter, and when everyone came to their senses, Ma Youwei had disappeared.
"What did Editor-in-Chief Ma just say? Are they going to publish Mr. Koyama's work this month? "Some people thought they had heard it wrong.
"It seems to be yes, what is it called "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"." Someone answered.
Hearing this answer, more reporters were surprised.
"Isn't it? Three kingdoms? Is it the Romance of the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty? History? History to be published in October? ”
"They're crazy, aren't they? History will also be watched? ”
"What the hell is going on, why did October Magazine replace Mr. He Haiping's work with Xiaoshan's "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"?" Some people wondered.
Someone quickly explained: "Didn't you listen to what Ma Youwei said just now, He Haiping's is too vulgar and no longer in line with the concept of October." ”
The reporters chatted and discussed, and then went back to write articles and published corresponding articles one after another.
Capital Daily wrote: With the east wind of listing, October Magazine has carried out drastic reforms, especially the concept of running a magazine, and they clearly put forward the concept of popular not vulgar for the first time, so some of the manuscripts that the magazine had previously made were all dismissed, including the works of Mr. He Haiping, who had been rumored before.
According to the news that the reporter first learned, October Magazine will launch a pursuit, taste, value and culture of the popular - "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" this month, his author is the author of the famous military work "Bright Sword" Xiaoshan, how is this work, is it really as the October magazine claims to have the pursuit of culture, value and literature, let's wait and see?
