Chapter Four Hundred and Thirtieth: No Corner Can't Be Dug Down
"Can anyone tell me why our literature section is not even as good as a traditional printed literary magazine?"
As soon as the editor-in-chiefs were seated, the first question Hong Lengshuang raised at the meeting was so sharp that everyone present was a little overwhelmed. There was a refreshing coolness on the back.
For a woman to be the immediate boss, there are only two possibilities: either the one with an astonishing background in the backstage; or the one with extremely strong personal ability.
How the outside world and people from other departments evaluate Hong Lengshuang is not clear to the editor-in-chiefs present, but they themselves know very well that Hong Lengshuang was able to sit in that position because of his excellent personal ability "Climb" up step by step.
Of course, strong women are not completely without flaws, the biggest flaw may be that they can't tolerate a little sand in their eyes!
As soon as the meeting came up, there was no time for people to prepare mentally. It was just a "proposition". The editor-in-chief saw it all in his eyes and was anxious in his heart, but he couldn't think of any good way.
No matter who comes forward to answer such a question, if Hong Lengshuang is not satisfied in the end...
While everyone was looking at each other, the editor-in-chief sitting first on the right suddenly said: "I personally think there are a few factors, one is that the positioning of our literature section is relatively vague, and most users don't know the exact positioning of our literature section. What is it, they can go to online novel websites if they want to read online novels, and they can buy magazines and periodicals if they want to read traditional literature, but when they can’t think of what they want to read, they should come to our literature section.”
"Secondly, we don't have a relatively fixed co-author, and we don't have a stable source of works! At present, most of the literary works on the literature section come from the authorized reprints of the partners, and there is a feeling of picking up people's tooth and wisdom. I believe that some time ago I found You have already experienced that traditional literary magazines hit a wall everywhere.”
"As for the third point...with all due respect, we don't pay authors enough!"
A writer is also a human being, and as a human being, one has to eat well!
Just relying on the rewards that readers on the platform appreciate after reading the works and think they are good, let alone buying a house or a car to reach the pinnacle of life, even the most basic support for a family is difficult. Which author intends to publish works in the literature section and generate electricity for love?
Hong Lengshuang stood up, pressed her hands on the table, and lowered her body slightly. At this moment, no one paid attention to her proud figure, but was deeply attracted by her sharp eyes: "You don't need to worry about the funding problem, I will solve it! As for the future positioning of our Weibo literature section, I have already decided that we will focus on short stories.
I suggest that you can pay attention to the Seven Star Literature Cup that appears on the hot topic list from time to time recently, especially some outstanding young authors on it. I think you should understand what I mean and know what you should do, right? "
"Poach people!"
The editors-in-chief are all ghost spirits, and they understand it in a flash.
Hong Lengshuang smiled knowingly: "Before I get off work today, I will see the list of targets you want to poach. Each editor-in-chief must have at least 30 writers to poach. If we don't do it in the literature section, we will do it." To play a big ticket."
"It seems that this time we are going to completely offend people from major publishing houses and magazines."
The editors showed sly smiles. There are only so many well-known writers in China. Some of them have cooperated with publishers and magazines since they were not well-known. It is basically useless for this part to poach the wall; Since the commercial partnership is a cooperative relationship, cooperating with magazines is cooperation, and cooperating with their Weibo literature section is also cooperation.
What's more, compared to the traditional publication method of paper magazines, it is obvious that the number of users and readers of their Weibo literature section is much larger!
They have been in contact with some writers on weekdays, and they still have a lot of network resources in their hands. They used to suffer from insufficient funds, so they were too embarrassed to invite others to publish their works on the literature section, but now they have Hong Lengshuang's guarantee, it is completely different today, and it is not difficult to find excellent writers.
"very good!"
Hong Lengshuang straightened his waist: "The code name of this operation is 'Hoe', and everyone here is a person wielding a hoe. As for whether you can dig down the corner of the target! In addition, I will give you the poaching list first. Recommend someone."
"who!?"
"Li Chungang. No matter who it is, as long as Li Chungang can be found to come to our literature section to publish works, I will give him the first credit for this action, and personally ask the chairman for him."
At this moment, the editor-in-chiefs were stunned, and some people subconsciously thought that Hong Lengshuang had made a mistake: "As far as I know, Li Chungang is a well-known writer, but isn't he good at writing online novels and fantasy literature? He and Man Jinghua I also collected a whole set of "Kyushu Misty Records" published by the publishing house. The content is really good, and I strongly recommend you to read it. But if you want to talk about the achievements of short stories, you can't be regarded as an excellent writer. Bar."
"You will understand this when you have read the two entries "Necklace" and "Magi's Gift" that he recently participated in the Seven Star Literature Cup!"
Hong Lengshuang didn't have the time to explain to the editors, because they would definitely come to their senses after reading these two short stories, and then she glanced at everyone: "I don't care who each of you wants to poach. , but Li Chungang is the only goal I want to fight for."
…
As the first article on the entry display page of the seven-star literature cup preliminary stage, "Magi's Gift" was naturally read by netizens who followed this competition for the first time.
After less than a week of fermentation, the short story "Maggie's Gift" has been thoroughly discussed on the Internet.
The first platform where the heated discussions gathered was naturally the book review section of the official website on the Seven Star Literature Cup entries display page.
The function of this book review area is exactly the same as the book review area in online articles.
"The quality of the entries in the preliminary stage is obviously higher by more than one level, especially "Maggie's Gift", which was placed first. After watching it, I really like it, and the ending is very touching!"
"It is indeed a short story that the competition party is sprayed with 'shady' at the first place. From this content, it does not disappoint at all."
"At first, I thought that "The Necklace" was already the highest level of short stories that college student writers could write, but after reading "The Gift of the Magi", I found that I was still sloppy, and the facts slapped me in the face!"
