"Since when did people chase after criminals?”
"…In the past month, there was a novel that went viral on the Internet.”
"What I have to admit is that this author's writing is exquisite. He's indeed a very good writer.”
"…However, the content of the novel is not very flattering. Many people might not know the meaning of looting gold, but it's some kind of theft method. I have to thank the author for this. Otherwise, I wouldn't have known that grave robbing has so many details.”
"Such a novel that is suspected of breaking the law is actually highly sought after by people. It makes people feel inexplicably sad. It actually sold millions in a short period of time, and there were even as many as 400,000 gifts.”
"Who knows how many underage people are reading this novel? And how many underage people were there to tip?”
"This kind of novel that advocates breaking the law is openly appearing on the Internet for a fee. This is simply a poison to the next generation of teenagers.”
"…This author could write anything, but he had to write something that would harm others and himself.”
Wei Ziqi frowned when he saw the post on Weibo.
The person who posted the article was a public account with hundreds of thousands of fans on Weibo.
Don't look at the number of fans this person had. It couldn't be compared to those big verified accounts who easily had millions of fans.
However, judging from the number of reposts, this official account was quite capable. At the very least, it had a lot of living fans.
The entire article was filled with worries about teenagers, putting himself on the moral high ground.
Moreover, the author of this article was very smart. He intentionally or unintentionally mentioned the money that Wei Ziqi's " Gold Grabbing Notes " earned in a short month.
And this kind of income might not be earned by the average wage earner for ten years.
However, you just had to earn it in a month. This would naturally arouse people's hatred for the rich, and unconsciously put you on the opposite side of everyone.
"No wonder there are so many live fans. I wonder who runs this public account. It's really amazing.”
Wei Ziqi had also studied marketing before, even though his knowledge was quite average.
However, from the perspective of marketing, he could find a lot of content that grasped people's hearts from this article.
For example, creating contradictions, mobilizing emotions, and creating opposition. These were all marketing techniques.
This was especially true on the Internet, where the herd mentality was very serious. Many people simply could not think independently. Even a master's degree student could be led by others, let alone those who did not have enough education.
This was the terrifying aspect of emotional manipulation.
If this article had nothing to do with him, Wei Zi Qi might have commented with his professional knowledge and admired the author of this article.
But when this article was related to him, Wei Zi Qi was clearly unhappy.
"I've long expected the sensitivity of the topic of tomb raiding. Even the title of the book doesn't use this word, and the content doesn't involve tomb raiding as much as possible.”
"My book is more like a mystery novel. The author of this article has never read my content.”
Wei Ziqi cursed.
He had already expected this situation, so he had made preparations in advance.
However, it didn't matter whether you really wrote these things or whether you had a bowl of noodles or two bowls of noodles in your stomach.
What the marketing account wrote did not have to be true. They just had to write what everyone wanted to see.
As expected, when Wei Ziqi opened the comments, all he saw were comments denouncing him.
"You can earn a million a month just by casually writing? Damn, it's so easy to earn money now.”
"Of course you can earn money by writing this kind of borderline thing. If you read more about the Criminal Law, there will be more ways to earn money.”
"People nowadays think of crooked ideas to make money.”
"I hope this matter will be dealt with seriously!"
"This kind of thing poisons young people. Everyone, report it together!”
"This kind of person must be killed as a warning to others.”
“……”
"Can the marketing account not blindly lead the way? Have you even read this book? What exactly is related to grave robbing? This was simply a mystery novel.”
"These marketing accounts are so disgusting. They're all lying through their teeth.”
"SWB doesn't care about this. They rely on their marketing accounts to make money!”
"Yo, yo, yo, there's someone who can wash the floor.”
"Maybe it's a group of students. Students are the easiest to fool.”
"That's why this kind of author is the easiest to lead teenagers astray.”
“……”
This article was quickly forwarded thousands of times and had a significant impact on Weibo.
Even though there were people who spoke up for Wei Ziqi in the comments, they were quickly drowned out by other people's comments.
After all, even though Wei Ziqi had a lot of fans, compared to the entire internet, this number of fans was nothing.
And for these people who wanted to see the world in chaos, they would not really confirm the contents of your book.
They simply saw that you were earning money, and that you were earning a lot of money. They were envious, jealous, and hateful. They wanted to think of ways to get rid of you.
Most people would probably be happy to see those who were once high and mighty fall from their altars.
Even though Wei Zi Qi hadn't reached the altar yet, his income had already made many people jealous.
Why should I work so hard to move bricks and get two or three thousand yuan a month, while you earn millions a month by writing casually?
That's right, you broke the law and used illegal methods.
Let me read the contents of the book? I don't want to listen, I don't want to listen. I don't have the time to look.
This situation was a little tricky.
Facing this kind of online fishing wheel, most people couldn't withstand it.
Just as Wei Zi Qi was thinking about how this would affect him, Su Hao sent him a message.
"Young Master Wei, don't worry. The company has an emergency plan for this kind of thing.”
"If it was a normal book, the company might give up if things got out of hand, but nothing will happen to your book.”
"The company's business department has already discussed with the publishing house. The publishing house is very interested in your book and has basically determined that it will be published in physical form.”
"…Young Master Wei, you should know that the physical publishing industry is in a slump. Most physical books are actually printed very rarely and can't be sold.”
"And this kind of best-selling novel is the biggest source of profit for the publishing firm.”
Su Wei wrote down a bunch of things to make Wei Zi Qi feel at ease.
"This time, the publishing firm we're working with is a state-owned enterprise. To be honest, this marketing account is quite powerful and has stirred up everyone's emotions, but this time, he's kicking an iron plate.”
"…Going against a national enterprise and blocking its way to wealth, isn't that courting death?”
Seeing Su Wei's message, Wei Zi Qi's heart calmed down.
Actually, he didn't care about the fishing boat. The only thing he cared about was whether the two million yuan would be paid to him on time.
If the royalties were gone because of the fishing boat, wouldn't the pain of writing 50,000 yuan a day for the past month be in vain?
"What's going on? The author of the article has never read my book, so why would he target me?”
Wei Zi Qi wasn't too clear about this so he asked.
Su Hao was silent for a moment as if he was thinking about how to tell Wei Zi Qi.
In the end, he said ambiguously,"…Actually, this isn't targeted at you, Young Master Wei. It's targeted at the entire online literature industry.”
"…There are some things that are hard to say. Young Master Wei, you just need to understand. Online literature is more in line with the public's aesthetic standards. Moreover, the threshold for writing online novels is very low, so there are naturally some criticisms in terms of writing style.”
" And those traditional writers who boast of their good writing style and write meaningful novels can't earn money themselves. When they see how profitable these novels without writing style and content are, of course they'll be jealous.”
The subtle reminder made Wei Zi Qi realize.
This was a competition between two interest groups. In fact, he had been popular in the past month, and because there was indeed a problem with the theme, he had been shot.
But since Su Hao said that he didn't need to worry about this, Wei Zi Qi didn't think too much about it and focused on finishing the last few tens of thousands of words.
Actually, if this incident was handled well, it could create a wave of counter-marketing and increase Wei Ziqi's fame.
