Genius writer

The mysterious editor Zhuang Mo, who doesn't know where he came from, joins the old book company Jingyu that is on the verge of bankruptcy, finds the young author Ren Mingqing who has been rejected five times, and signs his personal contract.With the help of Zhuang Mo, Ren Mingqing completes the posthumous work "The Great and Poor Chronicle", which impresses the original author's younger brother Xu Jingzhi, and Xu Jingzhi agrees to invest in Jingyu.After the general meeting of shareholders, Zhuang Mo officially took over Jingyu and made intensive preparations for the launch of the platform.

After Ren Mingqing finished writing "The Great and Poor Chronicle", Zhuang Mo forced him to rest for a period of time.It was rather boring for him to stay at home alone, so Zhuang Mo took him to work in the company and put it under his nose.

When Tian Tian saw Ren Mingqing, he happily greeted him: "Madam, you are here!"

"You moved?" Ren Mingqing recalled that the last time he came to the company, the office area didn't seem to be on this floor.

"That's right! The editor-in-chief got rich, remarried with his wife, and the entire 12th floor is back in the company's hands!" Tian Tian wentssips whenever he gets the chance, "Master said, this is the office area seven years ago, outdated When someone came to talk about business, when they entered the door and saw that the company was so dilapidated and too low, they hired a designer and asked him to take turns to plan and plan the office areas on the two floors. Now all of us are working on the 12th floor. Busy building and painting the walls!"

"The number of people has changed... Are these all new colleagues?" Ren Mingqing followed Tian Tian, ​​curious about the new environment.

"That's right! We are a website now, which is different from the paper media. The content produced by the website is tens of millions of times more than that published, and our brother and I are not enough. Master collected all the old editors who Jingyu went out before, Formed a senior editorial team with the re-employment editor-in-chief, and found a vote of two sting apes who are as nerdy and rotten as me, bringing the old with the new!"

Most of Jingyu's new recruits are editors with work experience, and he knows how difficult it is to bring the new with the old.

Most young people take up the editor's job because they like to read novels.However, due to the decentralization of online platforms, it is easy for online editors to be manipulated into doubting life after they really enter the industry.In the reading group, factory girls and young readers always occupy the majority, which leads to the articles selected according to the tastes of readers are always stinky and long, full of "I fuck the world and the harem three thousand" and "the domineering president is in love with you" I" routine.Net editors read wireless articles, read data, and accompany the author day after day. There is no growth, and they will be discouraged in the end.

But they can clearly feel that Jingyu is different.Jingyu always insists that editors lead the content, so that young editors have more authority to control the text presented to readers.

Young people know the tastes of young people best, but the tastes of young people do not mean that it is good content, and sometimes it is not even a market demand.They are very receptive to all kinds of new terms and fashionable stalks, but they don't know where they are popular.Wulan has been working on content all his life, and he is very experienced at the text level. He taught editors how to revise a good story, and also taught them how to deal with different authors.

Wulan is in charge of training at the content level, and Brother Riehuo is in charge of training at the market level.Jingyu’s editors not only need to look at the content, they also need to know whether the content is good for sale, who to sell it to, and think about how to realize and transform it from a commercial perspective.Big data, various lists, policy shifts, public opinion enthusiasm... Only with a clear understanding of the industry can there be such a thing as market smell.The editor's sense of smell directly determines the subject matter and style of the author, and the editor's sight also directly determines the starting height of the author.

Ren Mingqing walked through the huge conference room, saw the dark heads inside and Wu Lan gesturing on the PPT in front of the curtain, couldn't help but put his hands on the glass: "Are you still in class?"

"That's right! Master said that only a great editor can help an author produce great content, so we have to keep learning!" Tian Tian said proudly.

This is not only because he is the operation director of the light reading department, but also a small boss; more importantly, when he joined the company, he thought that the entire editing business was about to be taken away, and now there are black and white in all directions. Head, everyone is working together, and there is hope for the future, which makes him feel proud from the bottom of his heart, and he is more energetic.

Ren Mingqing smiled and said, "I haven't seen you in half a month, but there is a new look, congratulations."

Tian Tian caressed his shoulders, and happily whispered to him: "Madam, we have raised our wages!"

"is it?"

"Master paid a lot of money for the entire editorial team. The starting salary for a newcomer is my original 8554 yuan. This is still a trial period. If I correct it, I will directly give it to 2 yuan. It is a waste of industry standards! And the quarterly champion's 300 million yuan, which editor's author If you win, any editor can get a 10% commission!"

Tian Tian felt quite embarrassed about this treatment at first.But Zhuang Mo told him that the reason why he spent a lot of money was because the editorial team is the core competitiveness of the company, no matter the website, print media or even a film and television company.Why is the entire cultural industry in such chaos now?Because editors have no status and no hope, anyone can step on them. Good editors are rare, and no one assumes the role of intermediary between authors and the market. It's all nonsense.

It is impossible for a person with a monthly salary of 3000 yuan to produce a work worth tens of millions, and to fuck an S-level top author, unless the editor has excellent personal qualities and is very lucky.But if there is a sound editorial centralization mechanism to give small editors room to grow and learn, then it is possible to continuously generate talents.

How can a generation of talents in an industry work?Zhuang Mo is willing to spend a lot of money to support them, because he hopes that one day they can be independent and find good authors and works.Of course, if you can't achieve results in half a year, you will pack up and leave.

Zhuang Mo came from a big company, and the rules set for Jingyu are also the style of a big company, encouraging healthy competition and not supporting idlers.

Ren Mingqing originally wanted to make a joke and asked Tian Tian to treat him to dinner, but when he heard that his monthly income was 2 yuan, he couldn't care less about joking: "I want to be an editor too, can you tell Mr. Zhuang for me?"

"What are you going to tell me?" Zhuang Mo's deep and elegant voice sounded from behind.

When Ren Mingqing turned her head, she saw Zhuang Mo looking at her with a smile.

"What's so difficult to say, and you need Tian Tian to pass on the message?" Zhuang Mo raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he was dissatisfied with his whispering behind his back.

Ren Mingqing was caught and confessed to him embarrassingly: "The company pays well, the salary is high, and I want to be an editor too."

During this period of time, the two lived together, and all the expenses were borne by Zhuang Mo.Zhuang Mo always said that it is not easy for him to make money, and the copyright contract is slow, and he will not see a penny in a year or so, so he is not expected to spend a penny.He is a big man with hands and feet, and he is used to supporting himself, so he has a grudge against him.Even if his brother settles the score clearly, he doesn't want to owe Zhuang Mo too much.He wants to find a stable job and prove that he has enough financial strength, so Zhuang Mo doesn't need to take care of it.

"Ma'am, your daily life is guaranteed by me, which is part of the contract. The reason why I take the initiative to take on such responsibilities is that I hope you can devote yourself to the creation without being burdened by life. You are a full-time writer and you are looking for another job , is a breach of contract."

"But……"

"I won't let you engage in other jobs, unless you want to experience life. And you can ask me about all the materials in the editing industry. Don't forget, I am a senior editor." Zhuang Mo said calmly from Tian Tian took Ren Mingqing's back and led him to his office, "You are an editor, so where will I be?"

Ren Mingqing was finally persuaded by him, and said obediently: "Then I'd better write well."

He planned to wait until the copyright fee of "The New Tenant" arrived, and then sit down to settle the accounts and pay back all that should be paid.

Zhuang Mo dispelled his whims, and said with high spirits: "I opened up the office and the next room, and made a lounge, where you can write - come, I'll take you in and have a look."

"Really?" Ren Mingqing was overjoyed, the writing environment in Golden Dragon Garden was indeed not very good.

"I want to see it, I want to see it too!" Tian Tian really wanted to know how Zhuang Mo decorated the CEO's office. He heard that it was a suite, and his mind was full of office games. He couldn't wait to squeeze in front of Ren Mingqing to see something new. .

Zhuang Mo pushed the door and entered, but found that Tian Tian was following behind him, he unconsciously reached out to block him, passed him, and led Ren Mingqing who was honestly waiting at the end to his side: "Be careful where you step, the door frame has not been removed yet."

Zhuang Mo welcomed Ren Mingqing in, and closed the door while talking and laughing.

Tian Tian was so angry that his face turned blue, this couple of dogs!Watch the bed without me!

Zhuang Mo didn't notice that there was a big living person missing at all, and led Ren Mingqing into the inner room to look at the decoration: "This desk is placed under the window, with good lighting, try the height, the chair can be adjusted. The bookcase is small but small It’s a bit too much, but it’s enough to put some reference books. Come and sit on this bed, is it soft enough? You can take a nap when you’re tired from writing. The TV remote control is in the bedside table, and the digital TV is connected to the game console. Whether you want to watch TV or play games is up to you—Mr. Xiao Ren, all of this is prepared for you, are you satisfied?"

Ren Mingqing was pulled to sit next to him, looking around excitedly, but a little embarrassed: "I am typing here, will it affect your work?"

"You are my most important job." Zhuang Mo replied politely.

"...Thank you, it's just... I'm not an employee of Jingyu, so if I occupy your office, it won't affect me too much?"

"You are my author, and you code in my cubicle. What's so shameful? If you have any questions, you can discuss with me at any time, and I can review manuscripts in time, saving time and efficiency."

"Ok."

Ren Mingqing is easy to be persuaded, but Zhuang Mo always has thousands of righteous reasons not to let him refuse.

"The smell is still there after the renovation, it's not good for your health, let's go."

"What about you?"

"My room hasn't been modified much, and it smells good when the door is closed." It's not suitable to stay here for a long time, Zhuang Mo thoughtfully took him back to the office.

After the two visited the lounge, they were both a little child-like excited.Looking at each other, Zhuang Mo suddenly pressed Ren Mingqing on his armchair, rotated it around smoothly, supported the armrest, and dragged him and the chair under him.Ren Mingqing was taken aback, but habitually condoned his occasional domineering behavior.

Zhuang Mo hovered over Ren Mingqing condescendingly, and lowered his voice to promise him: "Then we have agreed, we will come to work together every morning, you will write a book inside, I will work outside, and go home together after work."

He stared into Ren Mingqing's eyes, and spoke quietly, his tone was completely different from usual, as if he was acting like a baby, but also with a bit of inexplicable grievance, as if he was not sure whether this person would agree, and he planned to make a mess in advance preparation.

It's just that Ren Mingqing always coaxed him, and said with a smile: "Okay."

Zhuang Mo straightened his waist and pulled him up briskly: "Let's go, let's go eat—what do you want for lunch? Is the Japanese food good?"

"Eat whatever you want."

Zhuang Mo always takes him out to eat recently, not to mention expensive, but also very grand, eating for an hour or two.Ren Mingqing recalled his recent life, except for eating, eating, eating, eating, eating and eating, he just slept and slept. Although he was very happy, he felt like a pig.

"Mr. Ren, food is an important part of culture, and exquisite and grand dining is an important part of food culture. I never take you to the same shop, I hope you have a deep understanding of the city's food, and you can Use it as a writing material. You are so anxious to refuse, is it because you have lost interest in experiencing life?"

When Zhuang Mo said this before, Ren Mingqing might have succumbed.But after he got acquainted with Zhuang Mo, he became more courageous.Although Zhuang Mo has a domineering personality and a lot of fallacies and heresies, he always wants to be good to himself. He will summon up the courage to try to communicate with Zhuang Mo: "You are very reasonable, but there are also cheap food. I would like to invite you to eat cold noodles."

Zhuang Mo was slightly surprised, and asked after a moment of silence: "Don't you like the shops I took you to? Do you think I'm extravagant and wasteful?" He tried his best to behave better in front of Ren Mingqing, caring very much about Ren Mingqing's treatment of him. He also belatedly realized that his generosity might hurt Ren Mingqing's self-esteem.

"I did have this kind of thought at the beginning." Going out to eat with Zhuang Mo, a meal should be at least four figures above, the two of them opened a bottle of Daxai casually, Zhuang Mo didn't even blink his eyes, in Ren Mingqing's opinion Pure waste of money. "However, considering your economic strength and living standard, it is not surprising that you have such a consumption view. You earn more and spend more, and outsiders have no position to judge."

"I just want to be nice to you, and I hope you don't have any estrangement with me because of money." Zhuang Mo said it very sincerely, with a bit of trepidation. Ren Mingqing is not an outsider, so Zhuang Mo especially wanted to know how he would rate himself.

"Of course not. I know you didn't look down on me and regarded me as a friend from the bottom of my heart, so when I was with you, I didn't feel ashamed of being poor. But my financial ability really can't afford such high consumption, and I also I don't want you to always pay the bill."

Zhuang Mo was a little irritable: "Then you won't have dinner with me?"

"I still want to eat with you." Ren Mingqing categorically denied, "But let me treat you occasionally. Although I can't afford to treat you so expensively, the grilled cold noodles are really delicious. Let's go."

Ren Mingqing tricked and coaxed Zhuang Mo away.

Zhuang Mo saw how anxious he was for fear that he would not go, he felt secretly refreshed, and a little bit suspicious that he just wanted to eat cold noodles.

Walking to the small shop near the Jinlong community, Ren Mingqing greeted the boss, opened the refrigerator with ease and gave him a bottle of Bingfeng, let him sit and drink while he went to the front desk to order.After the food was served, Zhuang Mo was amazed: "Two bowls of dumplings, two servings of grilled cold noodles, and two bottles of Bingfeng. It's only less than 30. In what era is this price level? Ma'am, you really know how to live."

"This is delicious." Ren Mingqing succinctly handed him his dumpling stuffed with three delicacies.

After eating and drinking, the two walked back to the company.

Ren Mingqing raised his hand and looked at his watch: "It's really convenient. I just want to finish eating and come back to write something. I haven't started writing for half a month."

"As I said, at least one month's rest, during which time no work is allowed."

"...Are you serious? I thought you were joking..."

"Of course it's serious, you don't even know how bad your complexion is." Zhuang Mo couldn't help but pinch his face, "Writing is a painstaking job, you spent two months finishing "The Great and Dang" "Ji", it's not appropriate to touch the pen again recently, you should take good care of your health. The platform will be launched recently, and I'm too busy to get away. I'm very sorry, I should have taken you abroad for vacation."

"Huh?" The more Ren Mingqing listened, the more outrageous it became.

"Yes." Zhuang Mo nodded solemnly, indicating that his words were true, "After you become famous, write for half a year and rest for half a year."

"Then what am I going to do in that half a year?" Ren Mingqing was puzzled.

"Experience life."
