Thank you astonkk for the huge reward of 100,000, thank you very much
“I am deeply disappointed with your company’s decision. This is not a matter of a larger share or the payment of liquidated damages. You lacked the right attitude towards a person. The respect a good illustrator deserves. I am very angry at the humiliation suffered by the artists I represent."
Austria.
Anna sat expressionlessly in front of the computer, editing a harshly worded email letter.
She just learned from the publishing house’s project assistant that the group’s new decision, the famous illustration studio Weirlein, will compete with Detective Cat Lady for the opportunity to write The Little Prince.
Anna is writing a letter of protest.
After sending an email expressing her displeasure to the contact's mailbox, the girl closed the computer and leaned on the back of the wheelchair.
Anna did not wear extra headgear today, and her long dark hair was tied back by a Central Asian-style brocade hairband.
She was thinking quietly, gently playing with the blue hairband with her fingertips. The light in the study room shone on her face, giving off a sheen like gelatin.
Because of the publisher’s contempt for Ms. Detective Cat, she is unhappy now. However, compared with the sharp words in the email, Anna’s face remains cold and cold, with no obvious emotion or anger. .
When I was very young, my aunt taught me that anger is just a sign of weakness on the part of the weak. In addition to showing your weakness, it does not solve the actual problem.
At the same time, Anna believes that as long as the market survey is conducted fairly and in accordance with the conditions given by schostic, Detective Cat, the big sister, has no chance of losing.
Increasing the share of the game, and releasing separate postcard peripherals and artist illustrations are also very generous rewards.
Strictly speaking, things are not bad.
Of course, as an agent, even if it is not necessarily a bad thing, you still have to write a letter of protest.
This is to give the agent painter a voice and express his position while striving for the greatest interests.
After thinking for a moment,
Anna took out her mobile phone from her pocket , and found Osborne’s phone number in the address book.
After two gentle beeps, the call was connected.
"Excuse me, is this Miss Anna?"
Osborne's voice came from the phone.
"Well, Uncle Osborne, I'm Anna." The girl's tone was gentle and polite, not at all changed by Osborne's bad attitude during the last call.
"I'm calling specifically to express my gratitude to Uncle Osborne."
Anna said, "I saw the invitation that Officer Schostic pushed to the detective cat. Please excuse me." I’m sorry for bothering you.”
“Anna, it’s Uncle Osborne who should be the one to apologize to you.”
Osborne smiled bitterly, “Detective. The cat is a very goodIllustrator, thank you for recommending Detective Cat to me. Schastic Group is very honored to work with such a high-level illustrator. ”
“Anna, your vision is great, much better than mine.” Your grandfather once said that when I switched to study business, I was abandoning my talents and pursuing the latter, which made me become vulgar. The old man is right to criticize. Uncle Osborne spoke in a bad manner before. Miss Anna, please don't mind. "Osborne apologized.
"Uncle Osborne, are you satisfied with the performance of the detective cat?" Anna asked calmly.
"Very good, I should say, Very outstanding. "
"That's right, but her agent contacted me a few minutes ago and said that there was a communication problem with the publishing house, and the Schostic Group was planning to use another illustration studio to replace Detective Cat. I thought Detective Cat failed to meet the publisher's requirements and wanted to apologize to Uncle Osborne. "
Anna's tone was apologetic.
"Uh, Anna, it's so boring for you to say that. I believe you also know the level of Detective Cat. Doesn't this embarrass me? "
"Then there is no such thing, it's just a misunderstanding."
Osborne smiled bitterly.
He finally understood, the detective cat The agent is not a vegetarian. After receiving the group's decision, he went to Miss Elena to complain.
He knew that Anna had always liked the Internet illustrator Detective Cat. Since he could complain to Schostic. The group recommended her, and it was normal for her to know the other agent.
Osborne himself knew the quality of the manuscripts Detective Cat submitted, and he estimated that Anna must also know it.
Everyone knew. They are all sensible people. At this time, they apologized to the publisher for failing to meet the requirements.
How could I come to Taiwan?
"Although the studio's The matter is very complicated, but I assure you that the marketing department's investigation will be conducted in a fair and open manner, and no manipulation will be allowed. Anna, you should also have confidence in Detective Cat, right? "
"It doesn't matter. Even if the group doesn't like Detective Cat, it can only be blamed on her lack of ability. I am also very grateful to Uncle Osborne for his efforts. "Anna's tone sounded sincere.
The more Anna said this, the more embarrassed Osborne became.
Miss Anna, the last heir of the Elena family.
p>
The only time I called him to ask him to do something, my tone was so rude, I didn't like the painter recommended by others, and I even said bad words to Anna.
As a result, Anna fell in love with the painter. Not to mention that the level was extremely high, Osborne also felt embarrassed for his mother-in-law to do this because he wanted to cultivate his connections in the art department.
He felt ashamed for himself. p>
I don’t know how many times Osborne smiled bitterly.
“Miss Elena, I’m really scared of you. Don't be ashamed of your poor Uncle Osborne. It's true that your uncle didn't handle this matter honestly. Anna, what's wrong with you?Any request, as long as it's not too much, I agree to it. Osborne was helpless, "But the market survey has been decided by the group's top management, and it is indeed difficult to change." "
"Uncle Osborne misunderstood. I didn't mean it. Thank you very much for this. Anna changed her tone and said softly, "As a candidate for this year's Schostic Group Writing and Art Master Award, I remember that Uncle Osborne is eligible to be nominated." "
"Nominated candidate for the Writing and Art Masters Award. Oh my god, is this what Agent Detective Cat means, or is it what you, Miss Anna, mean?" Osborne said in a weird tone.
"What's the difference?" The girl tilted her head.
"If it was Detective Cat or her agent, I would immediately throw the phone in her face, call her crazy, and then. Let her roll as far as she wants. If it's Miss Anna, what do you mean?"
Osborne was silent for several seconds, then said helplessly, "This is the Master Award for Writing and Art. Even for the second-level Outstanding Contribution Award, there are countless great writers and famous artists who earn millions of dollars a year, waiting for nominations. You asked me to nominate Detective Cat, Anna, you really don’t care at all about your uncle’s old age. ”
“How could that be? Wehrlein can win awards. Detective Cat's drawing skills can't be called a master." Anna smiled, "Uncle Osborne, just take it as my opinion. "
"Weillein can win the Miss Miss Award, and Weierlein's paintings are really good enough. Moreover, this is not a question of artistic level. If you ask me to nominate an online illustrator who does not even have a formal serious artwork, what will outsiders think and what will the board of directors think of me?" Osborne complained.
This is like nominating a professional player from a certain Java Island League to win the World Footballer. People will laugh to death
"No, by the time of the award, The Little Prince should have been published and sold. How could it be possible? Not even a serious work of art," Anna argued.
"He may not be able to get the little prince. Alas, Miss Anna, it seems you have convinced me. "
"Thank you, Uncle Osborne, for taking the trouble. "Anna sincerely thanked you.
"Okay, I'm afraid of you. "
Osborne sighed, "Get vaccinated in advance. The most I can do is nominate, even if I nominated Detective Cat and The Little Prince has been published. If Little Prince hadn't created a sales miracle, the chance of Detective Cat winning the prize would be about the same as an asteroid destroying the earth. It's just a fantasy. ”
“Being nominated is already a huge honor, isn’t it?”
Anna asked back.
Although the honor is illusory, it is precisely After being expelled from the Oil Painting Magazine, what Detective Cat needs most now is to be a nominee for the Writing and Art Master Award.
This is better than recording 10,000 issues for the other party. Podcasts, Curator Tonks’s Tyler National Gallery filled with Detective Cat quotes are all the more usefulMuch.
"That's true. It seems that you really like Detective Cat. It makes our Miss Elena spend so much effort to pave the way for her. This African female painter is really lucky."< /p>
Osborne said, "It was agreed in advance that she must be able to defeat Wehrlein Painter in the market survey before I can nominate Detective Cat. This is the most basic bottom line. Otherwise, it will really become a laughing stock." "
"I never thought that passing market research was a problem," Anna said with a satisfied smile.
“Thanks to Professor Oyama and Professor Chiba from Tama Art Academy for their guidance and valuable opinions during the writing process of this paper.”
In the self-study room,
< p>Miss Sakai whispered the final acknowledgment.Now this paper, which has a total of about 7,000 words, has basically been completed.
Journal papers are different from doctoral dissertations. It is very common for the latter to write hundreds of thousands of words and directly contact the publishing house for publication.
This is enough space for journals. After all, if you submit a manuscript of hundreds of thousands of words, even if the article meets the standard of being published, other journals will not have that much space.
General statistics, the length of 85 science sci papers is concentrated in the range of 30,006,000 words, and it is normal for liberal arts subjects to be longer.
7,000 words will neither seem lacking in content nor too lengthy. Considering the topic of Gu Weijing and Ms. Sakai Katsuko’s thesis, Uncle Sakai felt that this length was neither too long nor too short.
They have not yet formally submitted the manuscript and received the reviewers’ opinions on whether to reverse revision, so they do not need to thank the journal contributors.
It is too difficult for two middle school students to complete a high-level paper completely on their own.
Relying on Uncle Sakai’s relationship, they received guidance from many professors during the writing process.
According to paper etiquette, you need to express your gratitude to the professors who helped during the writing process at the end of the paper.
This also shows that these professors have a good impression of their papers.
If the article is too shabby, even if their names are mentioned in the acknowledgment section, people will feel embarrassed.
Seeing Ms. Sakai Katsuko typing the last period on the keyboard, Gu Weijing let out a long breath and felt relieved.
"What do you think of the journal you submitted to, Ms. Katsuko?"
Sakai Katsuko thought for a while, "My father has two suggestions for the topic of our article. One is influence. Taylor's Journal of Fine Arts has an impact factor of 2543, and Artibasiae Asian Art has an impact factor of 3752. Both are magazines in the ahci index. "
The so-called impact factor is a measure of the influence of academic journals. An important indicator refers to the average citation rate of a paper published in a journal over a period of time.China's Clarivate Analytics database company publishes statistics every year.
Asian Art ranks 19th in the world with 3752, and is the most important art journal in Asia. Taylor Art Journal ranks 43rd in the world, also in the top 50.
In addition to different lengths, liberal arts papers and science papers also have different impact factors.
The impact factors of some scientific oncology journals can reach upwards of 500, and high-quality SCI journals also have impact factors of 4 or 5.
However, the citation rate of liberal arts professional papers is much lower, and it is very good to achieve more than 1. The impact factor does not fully reflect the quality of a journal.
Some heavyweight professional papers that have had a profound impact on the industry are not cited very frequently.
For a long time, impact factors have not been calculated for liberal arts papers. This is the first year that Clarivate Analytics has announced the impact factors of liberal arts magazines.
The ranking of Asian Art is higher than that of Taylor Art Journal, but as long as it can be selected into the ahci index, it is a great journal and there is no weak one.
“My father’s opinion is to submit to Asian Art. After all, this is the best liberal arts journal in Asia. Moreover, he knows some of the reviewers and professors of the magazine and can recommend some kinder ones. Reviewer.”
This is the benefit of connections.
Reviewers are the judges who decide whether a journal can publish it. Art journals have no quantifiable data standards and reviewers have greater discretion.
Exactly the same content, the one with good writing was rejected, and the one with bad writing was rejected.
It is normal for the easy-to-talk reviewer to approve the manuscript and the strict reviewer to reject it.
For a paper that is somewhere between a good and bad paper, telling a humorous joke in the text to make the reviewer happy and then rejecting it is not entirely a joke.
Basically, today’s academic paper review requires double-blind review. The submitter does not know who the reviewer is, and the reviewer does not know who the submitter is.
But
Sometimes, there is still room for maneuver.
At least for Asian Art, Uncle Sakai can openly ask them to indicate the recommended reviewers to the editor in the submission email, so that the article can be accurately sent to certain review professors. in front of my eyes.
This is not against discipline at all.
With the subdivision of disciplines, many professional journals now require contributors to indicate six or eight recommended reviewers for their articles.
If anonymity were completely implemented and an oil painting paper was handed over to a professor of avant-garde sculpture art, no one would be able to understand who was talking.
