Chapter 89: Die-hard fans
Under normal circumstances, a new book under the banyan tree has just been transmitted, and it is necessary to wait for 48 hours for review.
But after Lin Weidong called Anne and told him, Anne operated it in front of the computer, and within a few minutes, the book passed the review and was able to be seen by readers.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Weidong prepared to input the other three handwritten drafts into the computer document and save them.
However, when Lin Weidong coded words, he couldn't help but refresh the webpage of "Days of Living with a Flight Attendant" and check the reactions of netizens in the comment area.
It seems to have returned to the time when I first uploaded "E Net Love", and the mood of both anticipation and nervousness is the same.
Twenty minutes after the new book was uploaded, Lin Weidong refreshed the author's background again, and the number of clicks has exceeded more than 1,000, and there are more than 200 messages in the comment area.
Looking at the book review area again, in addition to two or three advertising posts, the names of old readers that Lin Weidong is familiar with have been stained all over the book review area.
Let's do it and sing: "The boss opens a new book, what he didn't say!
The fat boy soldier said: "The boss's new title is very emotional! It's a flight attendant again, and it's living together, it's too exciting, begging the boss to explode!"
The iron-faced cold gun said: "Lonely City, I bought the genuine book of "E Net Love" last month, when can you hold a book signing?"
Student A said, "Yes, boss, I also bought a physical book at the bookstore, can you sign it for me?"
......
The names of these readers have been active in the comment area of "E Net Love" before, and today, not long after "The Days of Living with a Flight Attendant" was uploaded, Lin Weidong saw these guys in the book review area of the new book, and his heart felt warm.
Without the support of these die-hard fans, Lin Weidong would be a passer-by under the banyan tree, and everything would have to start from scratch, but it is precisely because of the support of these die-hard fans that he is a well-known writer on this website under the banyan tree.
However, in Lin Weidong's view, it is far from enough to have only die-hard fans. Whether a writer is popular or not, the key depends on whether there are brain-dead fans, and writers with brain-dead fans are the real popular writers.
With the enthusiastic speeches and clicks of fans, as well as the recommendation of the website, although the book "Days of Living with a Flight Attendant" has only released one chapter, it has attracted the attention of tens of thousands of netizens in just over an hour.
Soon, Anne called and explained to Lin Weidong the precautions for updating the new book.
Anne said earnestly: "Lonely City, it's still the old rule, don't update too fast, it's best to keep an average of one chapter every three days, or two chapters a week." ”
"This speed of updating gives you plenty of time to write a new manuscript without making readers feel like they've waited too long. ”
Lin Weidong didn't say a word, and said briskly: "Okay, no problem, just do as you say." ”
Anne said with a smile: "Lonely City, come on, the subject matter of your book is very novel, and the beginning is also fascinating, and it is very promising to become popular on the Internet, maybe there will be a chance to sell film and television rights in the future." ”
In the face of Anne's praise, Lin Weidong felt a little proud in his heart, but said modestly: "Sister Anne, let's forget about the film and television copyright, I really don't dare to think about this, whether it can be published or not is not certain." ”
Anne said confidently: "As long as your new book can maintain the standard of the previous book, the publication is definitely a certainty, it is just a matter of time." ”
Without waiting for Lin Weidong to answer, Anne suddenly said: "By the way, Lonely City, I forgot to tell you one thing, my "Farewell to Vivian" will be published next month." ”
Different from Lin Weidong's novella "E Net Love", "Farewell to Vivian" is a collection of short stories written by Anne, which includes 18 short stories such as "Farewell to Vivian", "July and Ansheng", "Nuan Nuan" and "Seven Years".
Hearing the news, Lin Weidong said happily: "Congratulations, Sister Anne, you can finally make your dream come true." ”
Needless to say, publishing a physical book is the highest achievement in every author's mind, and this is true for Lin Weidong and Anne.
Anne smiled and said, "Lonely City, the reason why my novel was published is also due to you, speaking of which, I also want to thank you." ”
Hearing Annie's words, Lin Weidong felt very puzzled, and asked in a daze: "Thank me? I said Sister Annie, are you kidding? What does the publication of your novel have to do with me?"
Anne said calmly: "Of course, it is because your physical book sells well that the publisher has confidence in us online authors." ”
Hearing Annie's answer, Lin Weidong felt very honored, he didn't expect that after the publication of his novel, he actually inadvertently changed the situation of other online writers, and then joked: "Sister Annie, according to what you say, it is because of my existence that those publishers really realize the value of our group of online writers?"
Although Lin Weidong's words were a little bit, Anne felt that this was the case, and nodded with a smile: "Yes, you are right, it is true." ”
After talking to Anne on the phone, Lin Weidong's mood can be described as quite happy, because he feels that everything is developing in a good direction.
It's just that Lin Weidong sat at the cashier counter and waited until 7:10 p.m., without waiting for Xie Zhigang to appear.
"What's the situation? You can buy groceries for an afternoon?"
After sitting in front of the computer for an afternoon, Lin Weidong really felt a little hungry.
Just as Lin Weidong was about to boil instant noodles, his mobile phone rang suddenly.
Lin Weidong picked up the mobile phone and saw that it was Xie Zhigang's mobile phone number, and the phone rang a few times before pressing to connect.
Xie Zhigang on the other end of the phone said to him leisurely as if nothing had happened: "Weidong, haven't you eaten yet?" I ordered a fast food for you at the restaurant, and someone will deliver it to you soon. ”
Lin Weidong said angrily: "Boss, what the hell are you doing? You can buy a disappearance of vegetables, you are really a talent." ”
Xie Zhigang on the other end of the phone also heard a little anger in Lin Weidong's words, and then smiled and said: "Brother, take care of yourself, don't be angry, I just ran into some trouble and need to deal with it, and I will rush back as soon as I finish dealing with it." ”
Lin Weidong also realized that his tone of voice was a little impulsive, so he lowered his voice and said to him: "It's okay boss, you can get busy first, just don't come back too late." ”
After hanging up Xie Zhigang's phone, Lin Weidong picked up the five-leaf god on the table, took out one and put it to his mouth, then picked up a lighter and lit it.
"Whew......" Lin Weidong took a sip and spit it out again.
Lin Weidong stared at the smoke in the air and fell into a deep confusion.
