Poverty alleviation variety show goes to the countryside, my talent can no longer be hidden

Chapter 98: Selling dog meat under the guise of selling mutton?

In fact, as early as the day he entered the industry, Zhou Hao had already guessed that there would be such a day in the future.

It is a common rule in the industry for novel websites to squeeze the value out of writers.

Small websites cheat authors of their channel fees, and big websites cheat authors of copyright changes...

The harder you support them in the early stages, the harder they will be slaughtered later. It's a standard routine of fattening them up and then killing them.

There are only two ways to avoid being exploited - switch to other websites for development, or simply start your own business and embark on the path of personal capitalization.

So Zhou Hao had already made corresponding plans a long time ago.

But at that time, he never thought that this day would come so early, so early that he was caught off guard.

His IP potential has not even been fully realized into commercial value, but Miaobi is already eager to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs. This greedy attitude is really...

Although he was angry, he was not panicked at all.

Compared with the limited options he had a few years ago when he was planning his escape route, he now has plenty of options.

Even if I really overturn the table with Miao Bi in the end, I don’t have to worry about having nowhere to go afterwards.

Whether he continues to write online articles or completely transforms into the entertainment industry as a full-time screenwriter, there will always be people waving big checks to his door.

From this perspective, the series of tasks assigned by the system have a certain degree of "foresight", providing him with another possibility for development.

With food in hand, he was not worried. After thinking for a while, he contacted his editor-in-chief first.

"Boss, are you sure about what I said last time?"

Zhijianyan: "There was no reply from above, but I found out by myself and it should be true. You'd better be mentally prepared."

Zhou Hao frowned as he watched.

It seems that even the editor-in-chief was kept in the dark?
Could eating be any uglier?
But this editor is quite interesting...

"Boss, if you leak this to me, aren't you afraid that the higher-ups will find out and make things difficult for you?"

Zhijianyan: "You must explain it clearly, otherwise I will be the first one to take the blame. You will definitely find me first. Isn't it unfair?!"

Zhou Hao sent a laughing emoticon and then recounted the story of how he received a call from the editor-in-chief.

After a long silence, the other party sent a speechless expression.

Obviously, he was also shocked by the company's shamelessness.

Finger Smoke: "What are you going to do?"

"It depends on their attitude." Zhou Hao replied quickly.

"If they insist on lying on top of me and becoming a vampire... I've never been someone who would just accept things. At worst, we can just break up. I don't have anywhere else to go."

Finger tip cigarette: “…………”

Having broken through this layer of window paper, Zhou Hao ended the conversation neatly.

Anyway, my attitude is already here, you can do whatever you want!

Looking back at Weibo, the farce is still going on.

Almost all the martial arts authors who participated in the condemnation of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" sent a lawyer's letter.

It's quite united.

Unfortunately, this trick can only be used to scare children.

Zhou Hao updated a new status in a straightforward manner: "Dear heroes, please stop sending lawyers' letters. They are useless and can neither be used as firewood nor as a cover-up. If you want to use legal weapons, please send the court hearing notice directly. Don't do these useless things!"

If you have the guts, sue me. If you don’t have the guts, get out!
Ten minutes later, Lin Xina suddenly forwarded this post and attached an emoticon of a clenched fist.

In less than three minutes, the unlucky kid Cao Xing also came out to show his support and posted a similar emoticon.

Fans of the two came in one after another, and the comment section suddenly became lively.

Originally, the logic was on the side of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and now with the support of the fans of the two stars, public opinion has become almost one-sided.

But some people have discovered something very interesting - in the past, whenever "Wind Comes to the World" was involved in such public opinion disputes, there would basically be colleagues who came out to support it.

To be frank, the fight between Xu Lingyue and Yang Yan had little to do with the online literary circle, but fellow authors and book fans still came out to support and encourage him. But this time, Feng Lai has been criticized and scolded, but not a single fellow author came out to help him. Instead, he needed someone from the entertainment industry to come out to support him.

This situation... is very intriguing!
Under the overwhelming criticism from the public, these "heroes" stopped making any moves.

The number of fans is not on the same order of magnitude, I can’t scold him, and the lawyer’s letter can’t scare him… What else can I do? I can’t really appeal, right?
Gou!
After waiting for a long time without any response, the crowd began to disperse.

Not interesting!
However, just when everyone thought that the matter was over, an uninvited guest unexpectedly showed up.

A director named Jiang Yuan suddenly published a long article on Weibo, directly targeting "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"!
"Yesterday I accidentally saw a chaotic debate on the Internet, and the core of the debate seemed to be a novel called The Legend of the Condor Heroes. I have always had a special liking for martial arts works since I was a child, so I went to read it out of admiration."

"So far I have read about 100,000 words in total, and I just couldn't read any further."

"But I have directed several martial arts TV series myself, so I think I should have some say in this field."

"First of all, let me tell you my opinion. In my opinion, the novel "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is not worthy of being called a martial arts novel!"

"Why do you say that? The reason is simple. There is no chivalrous spirit in this novel at all!"

"What does it mean to be a 'knight'? Our ancestors have already given a clear answer - a knight breaks the law with force!"

"A hero is born in the market and raised in the underworld. He is a creature that wanders outside the lawless society!"

"Why are all martial arts novels set in the Jianghu? Because the Jianghu is a place where there is no need for laws and regulations, and where swords, fists and feet speak the truth!"

"Why are the children of Jianghu so charming? Because they are free from the social rules and regulations, they are bold and unrestrained, they value righteousness over life, they live freely and die brilliantly, this is called chivalry!"

"But these things are almost not seen in The Legend of the Condor Heroes!"

"In the 100,000 words I read, there are a lot of characters, but none of them left a deep impression on me. The protagonist doesn't look like a protagonist, and the supporting characters don't look like supporting characters."

"The plot is also lackluster, and the atmosphere created doesn't have the slightest sense of Jianghu."

"The most ridiculous thing is that it actually tries to integrate the major event of the change of dynasties into the framework of martial arts. It's simply ridiculous!"

"I really want to ask the author, do you know what 'knights breaking the law with force' means? Do you know why the imperial courts of all dynasties have severely cracked down on knights-errant?"

"If the Rangers can integrate into the law-abiding society, then what is the point of the Jianghu?!"

"In my opinion, such works are completely fake. They can be put on novel websites for personal entertainment. Forcing them to be promoted will only make people laugh!"

"In addition, I would like to advise young authors today that martial arts writing has a threshold. Not everyone can write it by just typing on a computer. Please accurately assess your own abilities before making a careful decision!"

The article, which amounted to nearly a thousand words, criticized "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" to the point of being completely worthless.

The wording is so harsh that one can smell the condescending contempt even through the screen.

As soon as this short essay came out, those "heroes" who had originally dormant seemed to have instantly found a leader in the martial arts world and immediately began to band together and emerge.

They liked, commented and forwarded the post, and made sarcastic comments about "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". Some even used insulting words directly. They were so fearless.

Anyway, there is a big guy taking the lead, so what is there to be afraid of?

Zhou Hao received this news while he was typing.

"Writer Zhou, you must not take him too seriously." Lin Xina comforted her on the phone: "He is a well-known big shot in the industry. He likes to criticize people at every turn to attract attention and gain popularity."

"He criticizes the actors, the producers, the market, and even the audience... He will criticize anything as long as it can attract attention. If you argue with him, it will just play into his hands."

Damn, it turns out he’s a popular director?

Zhou Hao took a sip of water to calm down his anger. "There are so many hot spots in the entertainment industry, but he chose to take advantage of the small hot spots in the online literature circle. Is this person not very smart?"

"This..." Lin Xina on the other end of the phone hesitated for a moment, then lowered her voice and whispered, "The reason why he criticized your book this time may be to take advantage of the popularity. There is another possibility..."

"This Director Jiang is from Tianyun."

"what's that?"

"Tianyun Culture is the producer of "The Legend of Yunlan"."

Zhou Hao was stunned for a few seconds and sneered.

It turns out that he ran out to be a dog for others.

Then don’t blame me!
