I think it might be about the idea of false hope. 'From ashes to new' gives the impression of a great rebirth or a new chance. However,'same old story' then dashes that hope. It could be applied to many things. For instance, in a society that tries to reform but then falls back into the same social inequalities. The 'from ashes to new' is the attempt at reform, and the'same old story' is the return to the status quo.
Sure. A business that fails, then gets re - launched with new investors (from ashes to new). But the management makes the same mistakes as before, and it starts to struggle again (same old story).

Green Apple Reader calculated the remuneration for new and old authors differently.
For new authors, Green Apple Reading would usually give them a certain amount of support fees to encourage new authors to publish their new books. This support fee might include the publishing fee, the initial booking fee, the recommendation fee, and so on. The specific amount might vary according to the author's genre, writing style, influence, and other factors.
The calculation of remuneration for older authors was more complicated. They had to consider many factors, such as the quality of the work, the number of words, the time it took to be published, and the feedback from readers. Generally speaking, older authors would receive higher royalties than new authors because they already had a certain foundation of readers and writing experience. They could better adapt to the publishing model of Green Apple Reading and the needs of readers.
However, it should be noted that Green Apple Reading is constantly adjusting its remuneration policy, so the specific situation may change from time to time.
