Reborn 1990: I made my cannon fodder father into the richest man
Chapter 522: Her manuscript was changed?
"Jiajia, is it convenient for you to buy a copy of "Martial Arts Dream" now? The latest issue." Chen Zhengnian said in an urgent tone.
Duan Jiajia has known Chen Zhengnian for so long, and this is the first time she has heard him speak so anxiously.
"I'm about to get on the plane. What happened?" Duan Jiajia frowned and stopped moving.
Duan Shunan and Xue He looked over together and noticed the solemn expression on Duan Jiajia's face, and they both stopped.
Chen Zhengnian stamped his feet anxiously on the other end of the phone and said: "The content of the latest issue of "Martial Arts Dream" is out, but it is completely different from what you showed me before. Your manuscript has been changed. The heroine has been changed. Insulting, the male protagonist heroically saves the beauty, but the female protagonist still bathes in a bucket and says she is unclean.”
When Duan Jiajia heard this, even though he had not seen the altered manuscript, he was so angry that one Buddha ascended to heaven and two Buddhas were born.
WTF?
Was her manuscript altered?
"What did the magazine say?" Duan Jiajia asked subconsciously, then slapped her forehead: "Sorry, I forgot."
Now that Chen Zhengnian is not an employee of "Martial Arts Dream", Duan Jiajia really has to step forward in this matter.
"I'm contacting Ding Wenqi now." Duan Jiajia always sends as many manuscripts as he has to the magazine.
Chen Zhengnian would help her arrange the updated word count appropriately and stick to the most appetizing parts.
It can also attract other readers to subscribe to the magazine later.
Duan Jiajia was also busy during this period and forgot about the new editor.
I thought everyone was like Chen Zhengnian. Even if he was not as good as Chen Zhengnian in being able to talk about various copyrights, simple things like organizing manuscripts would always be no problem.
But Duan Jiajia never imagined that the new editor Ding Wenqi would be so bold as to change her manuscript.
While Duan Jiajia was on the phone, she did not forget to say to Duan Shunan: "Dad, do you know the reporter? Help me contact a reporter in the provincial capital, and I will make an appointment to clarify."
Duan Jiajia must first find out why the magazine did this.
If the magazine can handle it well, Duan Jiajia won't go too far.
If Ding Wenqi was a smart editor, Duan Jiajia wouldn't mind making the matter a big deal.
He changed her manuscript without permission. Do you really think she is easy to bully?
Duan Shunan didn't hear clearly what it was about, but he thought it had something to do with the magazine.
Putting his luggage aside, Duan Shunan used the mobile phone he bought this year to find a familiar phone number for a reporter in the provincial capital from the phone book.
Duan Jiajia's place was going well.
The magazine company probably knew that Duan Jiajia would definitely call as soon as the new issue of the magazine came out.
So Ding Wenqi stayed by the phone.
Hearing Duan Jiajia's voice, Ding Wenqi smiled and wished her a happy new year, but did not bring the topic to serious matters.
"I don't want to beat around the bush with you. Editor Ding, do you want to explain why my manuscript was changed beyond recognition?"
Ding Wenqi sat on the chair with his feet up, a cigarette in his mouth, and said vaguely: "Luxiu, I really didn't mean to do this on purpose. I made it clear to you before, but you just don't Listen. I am doing this for your own good. There are too many novels now, and they are so vast. Our magazine’s sales have been declining. If the magazine’s sales are not good, then you must not have a good platform, right? "
Duan Jiajia's eyes have completely turned cold: "Ding Wenqi, you don't want to admit your mistakes, do you?"
Ding Wenqi knew that Duan Jiajia was capable.
But authors rely on magazines and publishing houses to make money.
He also heard that Duan Jiajia and Chen Zhengnian actually offended someone in Xiangjiang this time, and the remaining signed cooperation was lost because of offending someone. The two men came back dejected.
It was only after receiving this news that Ding Wenqi dared to attack Duan Jiajia.
Without the connections in Xiangjiang, wouldn’t Duan Jiajia’s reputation here depend on their magazine?
Isn’t that just letting him knead it?
"Wrong? I am your editor and I guide you in writing. Isn't this normal?"
Ding Wenqi smiled proudly: "Green sleeve, you have been cooperating with our magazine for so long, I think you don't want any conflicts in our relationship. By the way, your previous remuneration also needs to be reset. You also know, The magazine's sales are declining. At such an important time now, we need you authors to stand with us through thick and thin. Let's exchange it for ten yuan per thousand words."
Duan Jiajia laughed when he heard this.
Twenty per thousand words was the price of her first "Ghost Valley". After the enthusiastic response to "Ask the Sword", Chen Zhengnian got her a price of forty per thousand words.
By the time "Goddess Catching" was serialized, Duan Jiajia's royalties were already sixty per thousand words.
Now Ding Wenqi opened his mouth and cut the price of fifty yuan for her, ten yuan for a thousand words?
It’s a price that newcomers with average grades can get.
"Is this what Editor Yang meant?" Duan Jiajia wanted to confirm again.
Ding Wenqi glanced at the editor-in-chief's office, and his eyes were no longer full of contempt for the editor-in-chief when Chen Zhengnian was here.
I originally thought that I could be a deputy editor after Editor Yang left, but it turned out that the group was planning to parachute someone over.
Moreover, the inside of the magazine was in a mess during this period. Every issue was only supported by the manuscripts of Green Sleeves and a few old authors, otherwise the sales would have dropped drastically.
Ding Wenqi knew that he had a bad impression in the group because of Chen Zhengnian's resignation.
While I can still use my identity as an editor to ruin Green Sleeve's reputation, I can make another fortune.
He has already found his next home.
Authors who are willing to follow him are also in contact.
As for Duan Jiajia, Ding Wenqi had no hope.
After all, Ding Wenqi had had several verbal conflicts with Duan Jiajia before this, also because of the manuscript.
Since it won't help you, then just destroy it.
Anyway, Duan Jiajia has offended someone, and no one will come to help her now.
"Of course the editor-in-chief knows, otherwise how would this issue of the magazine be approved? Green sleeves, I am really helping you. This is a good opportunity for you to make a name for yourself quickly..."
Duan Jiajia was too lazy to listen to Ding Wenqi's disgusting words, so she hung up the phone and said to Duan Shunan, "Dad, have the reporters contacted you?"
Duan Shunan nodded: "What happened?"
Duan Jiajia took a deep breath, thinking that her manuscript had been ruined by Ding Wenqi.
She didn't even need to read the text. Duan Jiajia could guess what Chen Zhengnian's attitude would be like.
It would definitely not be a simple waste to make Chen Zhengnian so angry.
Duan Shunan didn't expect that a good editor would do such a disgusting thing. He frowned and said, "You and your uncle will get on the plane first, and I'll make a phone call later."
