genius editor

Gu Liuxi's efficiency was astonishing, and when Zhuang Mo healed the injury on his face, he asked SO4's top management to come out.

Zhuang Mo took a look around and found a fat house in a T-shirt, shorts, flip flops, he had a headache and didn't know who was talking.

Everyone chatted together all afternoon, and heard a lot of gossip in the Japanese animation circle, but they couldn't get down to business.

A group of dead nerds from SO4 started the company out of passion, and then experienced the hardships of the society and learned a lesson of blood and tears: starting a company is very expensive.Hearing that Zhuang Mo wants to buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, they are still willing to sit down and talk. After all, they heard from the Danmei moderator that this master offered 600 million essays, so they must have a lot of money in their pockets.

But they insist on generating electricity for love, and they are not willing to merge and acquire, and they are not willing to let Zhuang Mo intervene in the operation and interfere with the content orientation of the authors, which is not okay at all.

They have their reasons: we are for the prosperity of Two-dimensional!You bought the website and forced the authors to write romance and no CP, so what about the little yellow car of our wife and the paper man? !What about the little yellow cars of the rotten lesbians next door? !You tell me what to do with the little yellow car? !Other employers don't have any demands, they just give money and don't force them!

When Zhuang Mo thought about it, it was equivalent to saying that I voted for 800 million yuan, and I didn't even have a say, so what am I doing.

It was the first time Mr. Zhuang, who was full of copper smell, hit a wall, and he was defeated by Power Generation for Love.

But he was not disheartened.

Content websites are not something that can be set up by a random group of people.Even if SO4 executives want to insist on generating electricity for love, the authors will starve to death—the platform does not understand content guidance at all, which will cause the entire platform to lose market competitiveness.You have no online revenue channels, second, physical book channels, and third, no copyright output channels. If the author can’t make money on your platform, how can they live?

Writing is a labor-intensive industry. It can generate electricity for love in a short while. Long-term investment has no output. It is difficult for most authors to persevere. If they do not transform, they will die.However, after the transformation, SO4 has spent several years of hard work accumulating user ecology, and all previous efforts have been wasted. SO4 should not be a content producer from the bottom of its heart, and it should package and sell these authors to him now.Literary websites are not easy to do, and they can be harvested as soon as they are good, so as not to get stuck.Xinhui.com merged and acquired the SO4 content area, which is responsible for professional content production and output, while the forum is responsible for maintaining the Two-dimensional user ecology. This is the best situation for Xinhui.com, SO4 and the group of authors who generate power for love. .

Zhuang Mo didn't see it through, and he didn't say whether he would invest or not in the end, so he asked SO4 to sort out a copy of the company's information, and he wanted to conduct an asset evaluation of the website.

After returning to Jingyu, he asked Tian Tian to keep a record of this matter, and it might be possible to delay this case.This is not his most urgent case right now. If he can buy it, it is the icing on the cake. If he can't buy it, it has nothing to do with life or death. It's better to wait and see what happens, and make the author on hand first.

Gu Liuxi bid him farewell at the right time.He watched Gu Liuxi run with him for a day, no credit but hard work, and expressed his gratitude again: "Thanks to you this time, I owe you a favor, what I said before still counts, if there is something that needs my help, just say a few words It's a matter of words."

"It's not really helpful, I just want to ask you for someone." Gu Liuxi didn't speak to him until this time.

Poaching authors is very common in the industry, and editors often fight to rob authors.But she didn't have the guts to ask her to dig into Zhuang Mo's corner secretly.Zhuang Mo is her backer, no matter how young the author is, Gu Liuxi has to report to him before she dares to intervene.

"Sure! As long as it's not Duta Mountain, you can do whatever you want." Zhuang Mo was extremely generous.Except for Ren Mingqing who is irreplaceable, he doesn't care about other authors.

"It's a danmei author named Xiao Guanlan. I want to publish her book without CP."

Zhuang Mo didn't know little Guanlan at all.After all, he has published copyrights for the authors of Brother Lie Huo, so he has a little impression; for the authors of Tian Tian's circle, he can't even tell who is who, so he just calls Tian Tian, ​​​​this big guy, and that wife.Since Gu Liuxi opened his mouth, he readily agreed: "The publishing and electronic version are on our side?"

"Then it couldn't be better." Gu Liuxi accepted it as soon as she saw it.

Poach corners from others, let him earn money from traffic and physical books, and follow-up Xiao Guanlan also needs the help of the platform.There will be more time to cooperate in the future, and there is no harm in making good deals with him.

The guests and the host enjoyed themselves, Zhuang Mo sent her to the parking lot, and told her that if she sees news about Duta Mountain again on the Internet, please inform him as soon as possible, so that he can prepare early.

After the writers' conference ended, all the authors who should be signed signed, and Brother Riehuo and Tian Tian boldly began to follow up the two product lines.

Brother Liehuo's progress was relatively smooth.

Some time ago, Zhuang Mo took Xu Jingzhi to get acquainted with the film and television industry, drafted a few cases with popular themes, and directly ordered Brother Liehuo.

Brother Liehuo is familiar with the nature of the author, and he has a good control over the content of the text. It is more appropriate for him to choose the right author and help them create high-quality content together.I will give you the theme and the benchmarking works, and you will create the proposition.The small author buys out a single book, and the big author pays a deposit first. Later, the platform will be serialized, the physical book will be launched, and the copyright proceeds will be shared with you. Basically, Jingyu’s real writers have received large or small cases, and their lives are guaranteed. There are expectations for the future, and the heart is relatively stable.

For Jingyu, this kind of customization is also very cost-effective.The price of 10 to 30 for a single copy ensures that there are enough high-quality goods after the platform goes online, and also guarantees Liancheng's film and television needs.As long as the film and television are compatible, such a small initial investment will not be in vain. If the 10 book is resold, it will be 100 million, and if the 30 book is resold, it will be 300 million. No matter how bad it is, Xu Jingzhi can get the bottom line, even if the follow-up share with the author returns The ratio is not generally high.

And if a platform can sell more than a dozen or twenty IPs at the beginning, the threshold of the management will be broken for you, and all the high-quality products in the later stage will be sold easily.

It will be much more difficult for Tian Tian.

The microblog writers in his hand want to cash out, and for the time being, there are only physical book channels, and the code foreign task is 500 million per month, which makes him breathless.In addition, he had been so messed up with Kodak that he lost even the only remaining great author, so he had to rack his brains to push the author.He knew that before Weibo authors became big Vs, everything was useless, they couldn't get cases, advertisers looked down on them, and their books couldn't be sold.

In the past, as a reader, Tian Tian swiped Weibo just to have fun, but now as an editor in charge, he slowly thought about what would become popular on Weibo.He spends all day collecting cases on the Internet, analyzing readers' tastes, seeing what marketing accounts are reposting, what kind of content will be popularly searched, and what kind of posture is fancy to catch the heat so that it is not annoying... Really summed it up for him There are some rules.

Nowadays, many authors use Weibo. At the beginning, it was used as a window to communicate with fans, chat about daily life, share and share life, and play a role in gathering fans.

But for small authors, they may not get as much attention on Weibo as they do on serious reading websites, so they will naturally try to create on self-media.

For an ordinary author, his Weibo creation does not have a strong purpose, he just writes a few times and writes what he wants to write.However, once a certain thread becomes popular and gains a lot of fans, the author will consciously repeat the previous creation, fix the direction of the content, and form his own self-media gene.

He will realize, "Fans pay attention to me because I write this thing", then he will continue to produce this content until he forms a product line himself - including what subject matter, length, style, Is there any unique and iconic form that makes people know that it was written by this po owner at a glance.

Tian Tianwu understands this, and he has [-] to [-] basic fans and small writers with certain writing highlights. He helps them find a unique writing style suitable for the Weibo environment, until each of them forms an unbeatable writing style. Alternative content orientation: Some people are suitable for writing funny jokes, some are suitable for writing brainstorming stories, some are suitable for writing historical derivatives, some are suitable for writing sadistic texts, some are suitable for writing love stories, and some are suitable for sharing daily……

Daily update grouping is the most basic. Once someone is suddenly favored by the marketing account and the traffic explodes, Tian Tian can immediately go to Weibo to open a pre-sale book.Anyway, he submits it quickly for review, and the painters, designers, and peripheral manufacturers are all long-term cooperators. He even found a few scissors and the master to make derivative mmd and radio dramas for his own authors. It can be said that he is always ready, just wait It suddenly became popular.

But the point is, Tian Tian couldn't wait for this big explosion.The author's fans are increasing, but like Koda's one-time transfer of [-] to [-], there is no.

With the resources in his hands, he can push the author to 10 fans at most.

Tian Tian stays at his desk every day and scans Weibo impetuously, thinking that his 500 million yuan is impossible.

Seeing him committing suicide slowly, Brother Lie Huo handed over to him the book in his hand, which was the autobiography of a certain celebrity.

The project that Zhuang Mo talked about two months ago asked Brother Liehuo to find a gunman to write it for him. The whole book only has less than 5 words, and the rest are all photos.The review process has been completed, Komatsu has even finalized the typesetting, and is waiting for the printing factory.

Tian Tian immediately arranged a pre-sale.The price of this book is very expensive, close to 100 yuan a book, but more than 2 copies were sold on the day of the pre-sale, and the star benefit is strong.Tian Tian was collecting orders from various channels to calculate the reprints, and tears welled up in his eyes: There is such a good thing in the world. I thought that this month's performance salary was in vain again, and the sky is falling!

Brother Liehuo saved Tian Tian's life, and talked to him in private: "Xiao Tianer, it's not bright in the east and bright in the west. Your author will have to raise it for a while. Don't tell me you won't publish the book and take the whole team to lie down with salty fish?" ? You are not afraid that the boss will deduct your salary. He asked you to publish a book, and there is no rule that you must get a contract letter from a Weibo writer."

Tian Tian is very smart, and when he tapped him, his eyes suddenly brightened, and he walked into the bookstore to see what books were on sale recently.

Zhuang Mo wanted to be more foreign, and Tian Tian didn't have any spiritual pursuits, so he followed the trend and stepped on hot spots——

When discussing depression online, he hurriedly published the book "Get Out!""Mr. Depression";

There was news that a girl was almost in danger on Didi, so he quickly published a "Women's Prevention Handbook";

The wages of college graduates are generally not high, so he hurriedly published "How to Get Rich Overnight";

When the blockchain became popular, he quickly published "Understanding Blockchain with a Book";

What else are "36 Lectures on Efficient Communication", "My Life Is the Master", "If You Find a Desirable Object", "Learn Origami with Your Children"... 18 plans were released in a month, either chicken soup for the soul or successful learning , and occasionally teach people how to do hand accounts.

This kind of book doesn't need a big author at all. He proposes a topic, finds a few writers at random, and puts together their manuscripts. He doesn't need to give a pen name, and he can directly put together the book.

Who would have known that the editor of this kind of book would not know how to control emotions, communicate efficiently, live independently, get rich overnight, find a partner, let alone blockchain, Tian Tian doesn't even understand it.

However, all the popular books were sold out!

That's a good thing, Tian Tian couldn't stop at all, and led the whole team to do this kind of unnutritious deception all day long.

Jingyu's side moved forward in an orderly and steady manner, but something major happened to Gu Liuxi's side.

The reason is that a post was posted on SO4 to hang Xiao Guanlan plagiarizing.

The easiest way to strangle an author these days is to sue for plagiarism.The set routines of the competitive essays are all just like this, picking up some points in the east to say that they are similar, and drawing in the west for reference. Heizi vigorously made a plausible color palette, and attacked her with great momentum.Because someone was playing the rhythm in private, the color palette turned thousands of times.

Little Guanlan's mentality collapsed, she lost fans like crazy, the pre-sale of Tian Tian's booklet was postponed here, Gu Liuxi wanted to win SO4's support, but SO4 was hesitant.

SO4's current reputation is the result of careful maintenance of the user ecosystem.However, the current state of public opinion is that Xiao Guanlan plagiarized. Several authors of SO4 also participated in the production of the color palette. SO4 has not yet spoken out and has been called "covering plagiarism" by readers. It is very uncertain which side they will stand on.

Little Guanlan was devastated after such a blow, and privately told Gu Liuxi that she no longer wanted to write anything.

Xiao Guanlan is a very talented author. After being wronged for nothing, Gu Liuxi was angry and anxious, so she could only ask Zhuang Mo. She knew that the only one who could save Xiao Guanlan now was Zhuang Mo—because of the palette In the book, 60% of the plagiarized objects came from another novella about boxing.That novel was written by Tan Si, edited and reviewed by Zhuang Mo, and published in the 146th issue of "New Painting".

Zhuang Mo heard her explain the ins and outs, and the first sentence he asked was: "Did you copy it or not?"

Gu Liuxi printed out the two books and the palette and threw them in front of him: "Look for yourself!"

It really took Zhuang Mo three days to read the two articles carefully, and scolded her mother along with her: "Can this be considered plagiarism?"

The logic and context of the article cannot be deceiving. The character design and plot arrangement of "Stateless" are natural, there is no trace of deliberate splicing, and it is hard to say how to learn from it, because Tan Si's character design is very bad.To be honest, Zhuang Mo feels that Xiao Guanlan is not as good at writing. Female authors are better at emotional dramas than male authors, and they portray characters more delicately.

As a professional editor, Zhuang Mo has thousands of content. He thinks that if we talk about splicing, then this color palette is really patchwork—how can we sum up the plots in different books to look similar to plagiarism identification? ? !This is not the same words and sentences, this is the big plot!Even the relationship between the characters is different.If this is considered plagiarism, then no one is original, and no one has written any plot.

Gu Liuxi was also filled with righteous indignation: "I have sent the original text and color palette to a professional team of lawyers, waiting for a third-party appraisal report."

"It's useless. Everyone knows that third-party appraisal reports can be bought with money, and you will be ridiculed when you take them out. You have only one way now, and that is for Tan Si to stand up and give a fair word, otherwise your author will die unjustly."

Gu Liuxi had originally made such a plan, but now he was willing to come forward, and he let out a long sigh of relief: "If you can justify the name of Xiao Guanlan, I really don't know how to thank you, in the future..."

Zhuang Mo stopped her from continuing and said, "I can't guarantee it, the decision is in Tan Si's hands."

Seeing Gu Liuxi's disappointed expression, he said again: "But I will try my best."

The editor's job is to escort the author.Plagiarism tramples on the entire industry, and we must have zero tolerance for plagiarism, but because of zero tolerance, we must be more cautious when judging plagiarism.

If any author, at any time, is likely to be easily labeled as plagiarism, and all his talents and efforts will be wasted, it will also trample on the entire industry, and even do more harm than plagiarism to some extent.You have made everyone afraid to write. How can a hundred flowers bloom and flourish?

Anti-plagiarism is not a tool to satisfy selfish desires, and Zhuang Mo can't understand this kind of public revenge.No matter what the reason is, a person should not slander the innocence of others at will, it is a very serious character problem.If, as Gu Liuxi said, the palette has the participation of the author, then this kind of author will never cooperate with him in his life-you are the author yourself, and you understand how hard it takes to write a work, but you are holding political correctness. Banners cover up your dirty and despicable jealousy to harm others. Are you worthy of the pen in your hand?

But Zhuang Mo also knows in his heart that anti-plagiarism will be used by people with intentions. From the root cause, it is because the entire industry lacks industry consensus, and copyright protection is not perfect and not in place.Except for the self-examination and self-correction of authors and readers, there is no fair and effective third-party platform to play the role of judgment and punishment, and legal channels rarely produce results. Everyone is very powerless and sensitive to plagiarism, and public opinion will run away. On the contrary, if there is any suspicion, they will be killed.

Zhuang Mo has always wanted to do copyright protection when he was watching the text, and his resignation has a lot to do with it. He thinks it might be a good opportunity to advance this work, so he didn’t do any psychological construction Just give Tan Si a call.

Since he left Guanwen, he has not contacted Tan Si.He didn't know whether Tan Si had looked for him, anyway, he dragged him into the dark.At this time, I called and was picked up after a second of ringing: "Hey, Old Shen, you finally remembered me~"

Hearing Tan Si's usual mean and lazy voice, Zhuang Mo didn't feel any fluctuations in his heart.

He has been with Tan Si for so many years, and brought him from a little-known author to the top of the list. He spent countless efforts and contributed all his talents, and finally parted ways. Sadness is fake.

It's just that how angry, obsessed and obsessed with it at the beginning, and even vowed not to communicate with each other until death, but now it's all a joke.Hearing himself chatting with Tan Si calmly, he couldn't help feeling how fragile human feelings are.

In fact, time has not passed for a long time. Zhuang Mo recalled his experience after coming to Jingyu. From the first magazine to the present, it is only a few months.But the past is like smoke and dust, looking back, it has been a lifetime, those longings, loves, joys, rages, resentments, disappointments, panics... so many, so many intense emotions caused by this person have all disappeared. East flowing water.

He never thought that after goodbye, he could gossip with Tan Si so calmly.The two greeted each other's recent situation through the mobile phone. Tan Si wished him a promotion, and he wished Tan Si a big sale.Everyone never mentioned the previous breakup, but they all felt a little emotional during the conversation. It turns out that in this world, it is not true that no one can live without the other.No one said anything, but everyone knew in their hearts that the past is the past.

Zhuang Mo and Tan Si reunited after a long absence, feeling sad for a while, and stopped talking nonsense, and told him about Xiao Guanlan.

Tan Si's first reaction was exactly the same as Zhuang Mo's: "So did you copy it or not?"

Zhuang Mo said: "I'll ask someone to deliver the book to you, you can read it yourself."

Tan Si said hello: "Then you have to invite me to dinner. You haven't invited me to dinner for a long time, so bring the book by the way."

Zhuang Mo said with a smile: "I've been busy recently, let's try another day." After the company is stabilized, he plans to take a long vacation, and it will be easier to take time to visit old friends.

Emotionally, he let go of his grudge against Tan Si, but he really didn't want to deal with the people from Guanwen at this juncture.

Tan Si didn't force it.

When people communicate with each other, sometimes because they are too close or have been together for too long, there is a sense of cheapness within reach. Only after a long separation can people wake up to the value of the people around them. The so-called proximity creates obscenity, and distance creates beauty.So although it was Zhuang Mo who wanted something from him now, Tan Si understood that he was no longer the one who could take Joe with Zhuang Mo wantonly.

Just as Zhuang Mo put down the phone, Lin Yiqing, the CEO of SO4, called him and asked him how to deal with the matter of Xiaoguanlan.This group of otaku is obsessed with Two-dimensional, and they are a little better at tearing at paper people, but at tearing at real people—especially those in the author circle—they look confused, and the only person they can think of is Zhuang Mo, I hope Hear from professionals.

Zhuang Mo said: "She didn't plagiarize, so you can't judge her for plagiarism."

"But now the Danmei moderator says that someone is leading her, and the public outrage is intense. If we stand against her, SO4's reputation will be damaged..." Lin Yiqing's tone was full of worry.

"I have encountered a situation like yours. I also allowed my author to trample another innocent little author to death out of self-interest. I am completely remorseful now." For Tan Si, Zhuang Mo missed Ren Mingqing three times. In [-], if there hadn't been that incident, Ren Mingqing would have been at the S level long ago, and Tan Si would never be so proud of her favor and become what she is now.

"The lesson I learned from that incident is: You have to make money, no problem, but you can't do evil. You can't step on innocent people to make money without conscience, you will pay for it. You may see that the public opinion is raging now, But you also need to know that no one dares to speak up for her now, which does not mean that no one is sober. Plagiarism and anti-plagiarism are two sides of the same coin. No matter which side is protected, it will hurt the author. If you judge her for plagiarism, it will make the silent big Most of them are chilling." Zhuang Mo paused and said, "You told me the other day that the original intention of your literary website was not to protect the rights of authors to create freely?"

Lin Yiqing was taken aback.

He asked so many people, and everyone was telling him what to do for the website and how to deal with the raging public opinion, but no one said that you have to maintain the author, a relatively disadvantaged group. justice.

He woke up, isn't this the most basic thing?

Lin Yiqing suddenly felt awe of Zhuang Mo.Originally, he only thought that Zhuang Mo was a somewhat sophisticated businessman.

"That's good." Lin Yiqing took a deep breath, "We...don't say anything about this matter."

On the Internet, SO4 was asked to delete the original post of "No State", block the account of Xiao Guanlan, and leave Xiao Guanlan one by one... Lin Yiqing decided not to do all of them.

"Well." He could hear a gentle smile in the tone of the opposite party, "Anti-plagiarism should be in the hands of a more rational, fair and professional organization, so as to truly protect originality. I will Come in, you don't have to worry about it."
