Entertainment Godfather
Chapter 522 Money clears the way
"What, editor-in-chief, you want me to be the double star of the next issue with a martial arts writer?"
On the other side, Xiang Rong was also on the phone with Bai Yi, but unlike Luoyang, Bai Yi had no interest in lining up a double lead role with others: "He is just a newcomer with no qualifications in the field of science fiction. Let me line up with a newcomer. What will the outside world think of me as a double-header?”
"Teacher Bai Yi, he is not a newcomer without qualifications. He has written "The Heartbreaker" and "One Day in Prison"..."
"Haha, "Heartbreaker" and "A Day in Prison" are just two short stories, and the word count cannot even meet the requirements for publication. And I have not only published three science fiction novels, but "Future Storm", which I wrote, also has 30 characters. With a box office of over 100 million, can a newcomer compare to this?”
Bai Yi was really angry. A writer of martial arts novels could be on an equal footing with him just by writing a science fiction book?
I have been in this circle for four or five years before I am treated as well as I am today. Why does the other party rely on him? Is it just because he is good at writing martial arts novels? Come on, martial arts novels and science fiction novels are fundamentally two different worlds.
Xiang Rong was a little helpless: "Otherwise, I can show Teacher Bai Luoyang's works."
Bai Yi immediately sneered: "Do you mean that I will change my mind after reading his works? Do you mean that his works are qualified to be ranked with mine? You "Science Fiction World" are definitely not doing it intentionally because of some benefits from him. Do you like him?"
"That was not what I meant……"
"I think that's what you mean. If I remember correctly, Luoyang should have his own company - I know he is a successful businessman."
Bai Yi's words were a bit heartbreaking. Even Xiang Rong's face didn't look good at the moment: "Please, Mr. Bai, please don't slander our magazine. If we were bribed so easily, there would be no "Science Fiction World" position in the industry today.”
"You should know clearly whether I am slandering you or not."
From the bottom of his heart, Bai Yi did not think that Luoyang's works were qualified to be ranked alongside his own.
"I'm just passing this news on to you, rather than letting you dictate how our magazine arranges the works. That's how it is. The next issue of "Flower God" will appear as a double hit with "Country Teacher". Thank you, Teacher Bai Yi. Cooperate."
After saying that, Xiang Rong hung up the phone directly.
Bai Yi listened to the busy tone on the phone with an expression of disbelief.
"He actually hung up on me - I am a representative of the fourth generation of science fiction writers in the Dragon Kingdom. The movie "Future Storm" of which I was the screenwriter had a box office of over 3 billion. He, an editor of a science fiction magazine, actually dared to hang up on me?"
Unlike ordinary newcomers who beg magazine editors, people like Bai Yi have always been fawned over by magazines!
Because Bai Yi's own name is a guarantee of sales, although he is still unable to compete with representatives of the third generation of science fiction writers in the Dragon Kingdom such as Lin Yifeng and Wu Qin, he is already rare among the fourth generation of science fiction writers.
He was used to major magazines asking him for articles in a low profile. Except when he first debuted, no one dared to challenge him like this.
For a moment, he even wanted to change to another magazine. Although "Science Fiction World" was the top in the industry, there were several science fiction magazines that were not much worse than them.
But thinking about it carefully, Bai Yi gave up the idea. First of all, the time was too rushed. Other magazines had probably already arranged the next issue, so it would be difficult for him to give up the main position. Secondly, being forced out by someone who wrote about martial arts was not in line with him. Consistent style——
I can only accept the double-main event, but I still have a feeling in my heart that I have to express it.
…
"Editor-in-Chief, Bai Yi doesn't agree with the double protagonist?"
At the magazine, the editors of "Science Fiction World" heard the content of the phone call between Xiang Rong and Bai Yi, and they seemed unhappy.
Xiang Rong waved his hand and said: "Don't worry about him, the decision to double the main title is still the same. I really think that "Future Storm" is a big hit and I am a big deal. In our "Science Fiction World", what determines whether the main feature is not the author's qualifications, but Quality of work!”
"The editor-in-chief is mighty!"
"The editor-in-chief is domineering!"
The editors all flattered him, and of course they knew that Xiang Rong's words were not a joke.
Having worked as a colleague for many years, Xiang Rong is well-known in the circle for his straightforwardness. Which science fiction novels are more exciting recently, and which science fiction novels are not worthy of their reputation, he directly evaluates them, without considering whether the owner of the work will be affected by it. Leave a grudge behind.
It is no small miracle that such a person can become the editor-in-chief of "Science Fiction World".
An editor said: "Bai Yi is probably a little bloated now, and the movie "Future Storm" has given him a lot of glory."
Someone else laughed and said: "In our Dragon Kingdom, the status of screenwriters is not high. In fact, the screenwriter of "Future Storm" is not that clever. If we really want to talk about credit, the director should be greater, and it is Tang Feng who stars. The existence is no less important than the screenwriter Bai Yi."
"I think he is just petty, because Luoyang is not well-known in the science fiction world, so he feels that the other party is not worthy of starring with him."
Several editors spoke one after another. They saw clearly and could understand Bai Yi's thoughts. In fact, many science fiction writers in Long Kingdom now have the problem of looking down on their younger generations. Regardless of whether their younger generations are capable or not, they all take their own attitude very seriously. .
An Xiyan smiled faintly: "If you think about it from others' perspective, I can barely understand Bai Yi's thoughts."
"How to say?"
All the editors looked at An Xiyan.
"For example, if an actor of Tang Feng's level participates in a reality show, he is the absolute protagonist, but suddenly he is told by the program team that he needs to perform on the same stage with a famous singer. Do you think Tang Feng will feel uncomfortable? Labor and management of acting If you are so stupid, you find a singer to compete with me, is this looking down on labor? Although this singer has also acted in two good TV series across fields, as a representative of the younger generation of amazing acting schools, Tang Feng is very Proud!"
An Xiyan suddenly became funny, and while explaining, she imitated that tone of voice, making everyone laugh.
Xiang Rong laughed and scolded: "Is there anyone who arranges Tang Feng like you? His mind is not so narrow-minded, but your explanation of Bai Yi's psychology is quite vivid. Okay, okay, everyone, stop making trouble and start working. …”
"I'm just making an analogy."
An Xiyan also couldn't stand Bai Yi's behavior. After the quarrel, the editors returned to their seats one after another.
But just when everyone was working again, An Xiyan suddenly stood up again and said angrily: "Is Bai Yi going too far? He actually attacked Luoyang inexplicably, and they provoked him? Isn't he just a double protagonist?"
The editors were stunned for a moment, and then opened their accounts one after another.
Xiang Rong's face also changed slightly, but as soon as he opened Weibo, he saw the latest content posted by Bai Yi:
"The most essential difference between a scholar and a businessman is the treatment I get based on my own strength. You can do the same with money. The so-called cross-field genius is just a backdoor speculator."
