Chapter 719 Malicious Competition
Yes, Lu Yuer hasn't come back yet.
Luoyang didn't ask the specific reason. Anyway, it didn't matter where Holmes's translation was done. His mind sank into Holmes' world, his fingers composed a gorgeous movement on the keyboard, and time passed in the crackling of the keyboard.
The next day, Luoyang appeared in the company.
Hua Qi also came to Luoyang's office as soon as possible: "Boss, something happened."
Luoyang asked: "What happened?"
Hua Qi sighed and said: "It was Qin Yun. In February this year, he released a new book "Ming Dynasty Storm", but it collided with the release of "Ming Dynasty Smoke" by Liu Xinzhou, a historical writer of Youlong Culture, which led to poor sales in the end. After half a year, he released the second part of "Ming Dynasty Storm" and planned to make a comeback. As a result, Liu Xinzhou of Youlong Culture also released the second part of "Ming Dynasty Smoke", and the level collided again. Qin Yun thought it was malicious competition. Now he is a little excited and clamors to see you."
Luoyang frowned: "Is he outside?"
Hua Qi nodded, and at this time, there was a dispute at the door.
"I want to see Luo Da."
"I'm sorry, you can't go in..."
"I'm Qin Yun!"
"I'm sorry, please wait for me to go in and inform..."
Hua Qi pointed at the door.
Luoyang stood up and said, "Please let Mr. Qin in."
The assistant at the door let him in after hearing Luoyang's voice, and Qin Yun walked in.
This Qin Yun was about thirty years old, wearing a leather jacket and a pair of black-framed glasses. After entering the door, his eyes fell on Luoyang at the first time. Seeing that Luoyang was standing and not sitting in a seat, his expression eased a lot.
Luoyang took the initiative to greet him: "Hello, Mr. Qin."
Qin Yun nodded and said: "Teacher Luo, I'm sorry to bother you, but at this time, I think it's necessary to meet Mr. Luo."
Luoyang said: "Please speak."
Qin Yun hummed and said: "I released "Ming Dynasty Storm" in February, and it happened to coincide with Liu Xinzhou's release of his new book "Ming Dynasty Smoke". As a result, because they were both historical themes and the same dynasty, my sales of that issue were very poor. If that time can still be described as a coincidence, then this time I released "Ming Dynasty Storm" The second part of "The Storm of Chaos" just happened to coincide with the second part of "The Smoke of the Ming Dynasty" released by Liu Xinzhou. It's hard to describe this as a coincidence, right? "
Luoyang admitted: "This is not a coincidence."
Qin Yun shook his head and said: "Youlong Culture is engaged in malicious competition. I just happened to be a victim of the competition between the two major publishing houses. Teacher Luo, I came here not to blame Shuimu Culture for this, but if Luo Da sits and waits for death, I think I need to terminate the contract with Shuimu. "
Qin Yun is a well-known historical writer in Longguo.
At the same time, he is also a very important contracted writer under Shuimu Culture.
But compared with Liu Xinzhou, he is undoubtedly a level lower, because that Liu Xinzhou has won the Dragon Country Classic Award twice. He is a historical writer with both strength and fame. His fame time and achievements are much better than Qin Yun.
"This is Shuimu Culture that has implicated you. I'm sorry. I will solve this problem and compensate you for your losses."
Luoyang apologized solemnly.
Qin Yun was indeed affected.
Youlong Culture was overbearing and suffered heavy losses after the last attack on The Legend of the Condor Heroes. It had no intention of making peace with Shuimu Culture.
Qin Yun's anger had dissipated a lot at this time, and he said, "I personally like the atmosphere of Shuimu Culture. The editors are also very good. It is much more humane than the publishing house I was in before. I don't want to leave. I came here just to hope that Teacher Luo can pay attention."
Luoyang nodded.
After seeing Qin Yun off, Luoyang sat back in his chair.
Hua Qi, who had been silent for a long time, said, "Boss, Youlong Culture is risking a certain amount of readers to hurt our Shuimu. I will contact some domestic first-line historical writers. Liu Xinzhou's level of writing historical literature is not enough to dominate in China."
"Then let's do this for now."
Luoyang had no good solution for a while.
The biggest shortcoming of Shuimu Culture is the lack of author resources. If it weren't for Luoyang, a best-selling writer in Longguo, the situation would be very ugly.
Youlong Culture seized this opportunity to suppress Shuimu Culture. Since they couldn't beat Luoyang, they didn't fight Luoyang head-on. They only targeted Luoyang's authors. For example, Qin Yun was suppressed twice by the other party, and the suppression method was very overbearing.
"We need authors..."
Luoyang sighed and was about to continue typing when his cell phone rang.
Luoyang answered the call and Hua Qi's voice rang: "Boss, they are making another move. Check Xingtian TV."
Luoyang frowned and got up to enter the inner room of the office. There was a TV series on the wall of this inner room.
Soon, Luoyang turned on Xingtian TV.
"Welcome Mr. Liu Xinzhou to our Xingtian TV interview program "Character Focus."
"Hello, host."
On TV, an interview program was being broadcast, and the interviewee of the interview program was Liu Xinzhou, a historical author under Youlong Culture, who twice blocked Shuli Culture!
"Teacher Liu Xinzhou, I read your work "The Smoke of War in the Ming Dynasty" and was deeply moved. No wonder the sales of historical works of the same period fell to varying degrees after your work was published. Teacher Liu, can you please tell me what kind of historical works are good works?"
Liu Xinzhou thought for a while, then said in a deep voice:
"In the Dragon Kingdom, the writers who can write famous works are actually quite good. Everyone has their own understanding. In my opinion, historical novels must first respect the historical facts and must not make up random things. At the same time, in On this basis, try to restore the characteristics of that era..."
Liu Xinzhou talked eloquently.
The host praised with a smile on his face: "Tolerance is a gift. Teacher Liu's tolerance is really not easy. Just now you mentioned respecting history. Nowadays novels should respect history, right?"
Liu Xinzhou shook his head and said: "This is wrong. I watched some costume dramas some time ago, and most of them lacked historical knowledge. For example, before the Song Dynasty, or before the Southern Song Dynasty to be precise, the main way of cooking for ancient Chinese people was steaming, and few people ate it. It’s not that I can’t stir-fry or fry vegetables. It’s because the iron-making process cannot make the iron pot so thin and strong. With the great development of science and technology in the Song Dynasty, fried vegetables began to be eaten. In addition, in ancient China, not every dynasty. Emperors all wore yellow, and it was different in the pre-Qin period. In the Qin Dynasty, black was the most respected, in the Han Dynasty, black and red, in the Song Dynasty, red, and in the Tang and Ming Dynasties, yellow was the most respected..."
The host nodded repeatedly.
At this moment, Liu Xinzhou suddenly changed his voice and said: "If the screenwriter does not understand historical knowledge, then it is even more nonsense that there are some historical online novels in our Dragon Kingdom, such as one I accidentally saw some time ago. The work is called "Returning to the Ming Dynasty to Become a Prince"..."
