Jiang Baige felt a little regretful after asking this question.

Because I'm naive.

Sure enough, Da Mai replied cryptically: [Those authors naturally have their audiences. Look, they didn’t come to Azure Literature City either. ]

Jiang Baige also heard about this matter in Lan De Hu Tu: Blue Film and Television recruited a group of great male authors who were the first to adapt IPs and sold very well, and asked them to write customized IPs for the company.

Because they were already famous, they did not serialize the work online, but published it directly in paper form, and did it almost simultaneously with the film and television adaptation.

So this group of people has nothing to do with the Blue Literature Network.

In Kou Yun's words, "How can we allow men to pollute the female channel?"

From what he said, it was clear that he admired Zhao Bi.

However, everyone knows that Zhao Bi is a capitalist, not a philanthropist. It is true that she wants to be a woman herself, but it is also true that she wants to make all the money she can.

Just like although she likes and invests in entertainment, she also does not neglect other industries.

Zhao Bi doesn't like those "social suspense" that don't have women as the protagonists and don't highlight women's wisdom and strength, so she doesn't put them on the Blue Literature Network, but that doesn't mean she can't make money from viewers and readers who like that genre.

When Damai said those words, it was based on her position as a member of the Blue Literature Network.

Zhao Bi doesn't want to see those "social suspense" that only treat women as victims in the real female website that she has devoted her heart and soul to create.

I even disagree with calling suspense that highlights women's wisdom and strength "female suspense", as that seems to separate women from the general category of suspense.

The classification of suspense should be based on its subject matter itself, rather than the gender of the author and the protagonist of the story.

That's why the short play adapted from Jiang Baige's patricidal story attracted Zhao Bi at that time.

Later, the online violence article that Jiang Baige wrote based on her own experience accidentally gave Zhao Bi a surprise.

Although the novel was written with some difficulty and was questioned by readers, the boss was very satisfied with it: it was not an orthodox suspense novel, but it had suspense elements and the form was also novel.

As soon as it was finished, Damai said that Blue Film and Television had begun preparing for the film and television adaptation of this article on the scale of a super web drama.

One of the clauses in the contract that Jiang Baige signed with the Blue Literature Network was that the film and television adaptations of her works would no longer be bought out, but would be in the form of copyright fees plus profit sharing.

In other words, the more Blue Films invests in the drama, the better the drama performs, and the more money she can get.

But that article was written a year ago.

The dual-heroine novel that started serialization last year has achieved good results in terms of subscriptions, but it is not the novel that Zhao Bi expected her to write, and Damai has hinted at her before.

Da Mai had good intentions, Jiang Baige knew that.

As an editor of Damai, the higher Jiang Baige's income from online article subscriptions, the more commission Damai can get.

On the contrary, due to the special nature of Jiang Baige's contract, Damai can only get money once from the sale of Jiang Baige's film and television copyrights. The income is not as long-lasting as the income from serialized articles, which can continuously bring in income every quarter or year.

She said all that to Jiang Baige out of Jiang Baige's consideration.

Jiang Baige knew it very well.

But she also knows that she is not selling herself to Bilan or Zhao Bi, she is not their ghostwriter, she just changed the platform to write, but she will always be the creator of her works.

And she is not without compromise: she will still produce an IP novel every year.

It’s not up to her to decide whether to use it or not.

The worst that can happen is that you'll earn less than that huge sum of money.

But now, she seems to be somewhat qualified and can refuse money in order to defend something more important than money.

She thought about it and replied to Damai: [I understand. I will start writing the article about buying a house as soon as possible and try to finish it this year.]

Once Jiang Baige enters the state of writing a book, she will be completely immersed in it. Apart from writing, there is almost nothing else in her mind, and her cell phone is always kept in silent mode.

This is also one of the reasons why she is very satisfied with her current job at Lan De Hu Tu.

Working at Landehutu does not require employees to be on call at all times.

As long as there is someone to take over when a new project arrives, there will be someone who can be found when it comes to docking - although sometimes we have to stay up all night to revise the script, and occasionally someone will "disappear", so there must be someone in a project team who can be contacted and the work can be completed smoothly.

For Jiang Baige, who likes immersive writing, it is perfect.

But for those who wanted to find her, it was really a trouble.

When Jiang Baige finished writing for two hours, she turned on her phone and saw a string of messages from Lin Xingran, and the last helpless words "Remember to reply to me when you see it", and she quickly called her.

Lin Xingran quickly picked up the phone and asked, "Are you writing an article?"

"You saw through me." The two of them had a tacit understanding for many years, so there was no need for further explanation. "You said you wanted to tell me about the women's study... Are you saying that the book is going to be published?"

"Yes. It was delayed from last year to this year, and finally it was done..."

Lin Xingran was an editor by profession and was very familiar with the publishing process. He knew that it was normal for a book to take a year or two to be published.

They were able to finish this book in one year, which is not slow.

"The publishing company wants us to cooperate with them in promotion and do an offline book signing. I heard from Teacher Dugu that you are not willing to appear in public because of the previous incident, so I dare not agree immediately this time. I told them that I have to ask you first."

The "thing that happened before" that Lin Xingran mentioned was the cyberbullying incident 20 years ago.

Of course, that incident caused severe psychological trauma to Jiang Baige, but what she herself did not expect was that her recovery ability was so strong.

Or maybe time, money and a successful career are the best medicine.

Almost two years had passed since the incident, and she was sure that she had not deceived herself.

"It's been so long, I've long forgotten those unhappy times. All I remember is that I changed to a job with more flexible hours, and because that short play was a big hit, I changed to a writing platform with better conditions and sold more copyrights...so I was able to buy a house in Anjing. Now, my house is ready, and those unhappy memories should be in the past."

"I felt you were different when I was in college. After so many years, you have become stronger and stronger."

In fact, Jiang Baige often heard people around her evaluate her like this.

But she herself knows very well that behind this "strength" there is actually the support of many people: without them, she might have collapsed long ago.

Let’s not talk about anything else, just talk about Nu Shufang. From setting up the account to running it in the middle and now publishing books, every time she encountered something she couldn’t handle, Lin Xingran stood up without hesitation to help her share the workload and never argued with her.

This time, it is her turn to "repay the favor".

Unfortunately, the epidemic came back before the book signing event...
