Honkai Impact: Join anti-entropy at the beginning to dominate the entertainment industry
Chapter 286 The Gate to the New World
Zhang Yucheng's rescue method is simple.
What is the reason why the author ran away?
Not enough money.
Then add money!
Pay more to grab readers! Grab the story!
It doesn’t cost too much. As long as the price is the same as the average price in the market, the system of "Lin Yi" will definitely attract many authors. After all, for the same manuscript fee, everyone is still willing to go to the big platform!
Especially an excellent author like Qian Jian is worth fighting for!
He is still a newcomer. Although the works he has written are very good, his qualifications are still young after all.
The author circle is different from other circles. This circle pays more attention to qualifications. If you don’t work hard for a few years, even if you are extremely talented, there will still be many people who don’t recognize you and think that you are just a junior and do not have the qualifications to be on an equal footing with them. .
In Zhang Yucheng's imagination, Qian Jian chose "Spark" mainly because there was no better choice.
Before he wrote "The Gift of the Magi", he had also published a short story. Although everyone was surprised, they would not think too much about it. Even if someone invited him, the treatment would not be too high. .
If I suddenly appeared at this time, extended an olive branch to him in the name of "Lin Yi", and then promised to pay him more than "Spark", the other party would most likely agree!
After all, the deepest area of cooperation between Qianjian and World Snake is the novel. As for the short story, it is also the first time. The relationship between the two parties should not be very deep.
With this idea in mind, Zhang Yucheng started the video conference.
At the beginning, she asked a question:
"Why is our "Lin Yi" not the first choice submission platform for authors?"
Although this question was very abrupt, everyone thought about it and came up with the answer.
An editor-in-chief was the first to speak: "Maybe the treatment is not enough."
Everyone knows Zhang Yucheng's character. She doesn't like Moji and her talk, so everyone speaks more straightforwardly. The editor-in-chief's answer was also to the point.
After all, the author is also a human being and needs to eat. He cannot always rely on love to generate electricity.
The current share of "Lin Yi" is relatively low on the market. If it only relies on such a pitiful subscription share and full attendance royalties, many authors may not even be able to make ends meet.
Zhang Yucheng nodded, looked at the computer camera and said: "I give you a task now, which is to do your best to recruit people back!"
Everyone looked at each other. After a while, the editor-in-chief spoke again. He showed an awkward smile and said, "But our treatment...is really not attractive."
"I will find a way to communicate with the superiors about the royalties." Zhang Yucheng said decisively, "I guarantee that this year's royalties will be in line with those on the market. Don't worry about this!"
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and nodded to express their understanding.
As long as there is no problem with the manuscript fee, they are still confident that they can recruit excellent authors. After all, a brand as big as "Lin Yi" is still very attractive.
Zhang Yucheng continued: "You have one day to compile a list of authors that can be recruited. The first batch of author lists needs at least forty people!"
When everyone heard this, they were stunned for a moment.
Forty people?
They all doubted whether they heard correctly.
Is such large-scale poaching really okay?
Although every company has poached people, no one has ever poached so many people at once so blatantly.
Will it attract the attention of relevant departments? Will it disrupt the market?
But Zhang Yucheng is still so resolute: "If you don't break it, you won't build it! This time I'm going to play a big game! You just go ahead and do it. If anything happens, I'll be responsible!"
When everyone saw what she said, they were naturally relieved.
Soon, everyone showed excited smiles and couldn't help but lick their lips.
Poaching, this is a very exciting behavior.
As editors of "Lin Yi", everyone has a wide network of contacts and has many goals. As long as the conditions are right, they are confident that they can find excellent authors.
Seeing that everyone had no objections, Zhang Yucheng nodded with satisfaction.
"Very good, it seems that everyone has a goal, but before that, I will first identify one person in this first batch of lists."
Everyone showed curious eyes and speculated in their hearts.
Could it be some short story master?
However, Zhang Yucheng's words stunned everyone.
"Add Thousand Swords to it."
Everyone is naturally familiar with Thousand Swords. After all, as a professional editor, it is impossible not to have heard of "The Master" and "Wolf", but this is poaching. Shouldn't the target be older authors with more experience? ?
Qianjian only has two short stories. He is a pure newcomer. Do you need to dig it out with such a big fanfare?
The editor also frowned and asked: "Did I make a mistake? What Qianjian is good at should be novels, right? As for short stories, they should be his side job. The last "Wolf" was indeed very good, but there is no more The evidence proves that he is very good at short stories, should we observe him for a while?"
Zhang Yucheng did not answer directly, but took a photo of the "Gift of the Magi" page in "Spark" and posted it in the group.
"You guys should take a look at this first. I would like to state my opinion first. Qianjian must be included in the first batch of lists."
Everyone clicked on the photo and looked at it very curiously.
Soon, their gazes changed, and various expressions appeared on their faces.
A series of expressions such as surprise, surprise, bewilderment, dumbfounded, dumbfounded, etc. appeared on their faces.
Zhang Yucheng looked at the creatures on the screen and smiled meaningfully.
She picked up the freshly brewed tea and took a sip.
Oh, it smells so good.
......
While Zhang Yucheng was in a hurry to hold a meeting with his editors, "Sparks" quickly spread among readers.
Because of Nite Owl's exaggerated publicity, many readers were attracted to "The Gift of the Magi" at the first glance when they opened the magazine.
They couldn't help but turn to that page and read it.
Without exception, all readers who finished reading this short story were furious.
They felt goosebumps all over their bodies!
Can short stories be written like this?
Can the ending be so reversed?
What kind of divine and heaven-defying writing method is this?
Readers who saw the ending of O. Henry for the first time were stunned and felt their heads buzzing.
A door to a new world seemed to be slowly opening before their eyes.
There was an astonishing discussion on the Internet!
【What the hell? ! Have you seen Qian Jian’s new work? I was completely shocked! 】
【What? Qianjian has a new work? Why don't I know? Is there no publicity on his WeChat account? 】
[Published in World Snake's magazine "Spark" is a new short story called "The Gift of the Magi"! 】
