Chapter 103: No Recognition, No Denial
Du Caige stared at the group chat dialog, because there were too many people who spoke, and the refresh was very fast, and he was often pushed to the top before he finished reading a sentence.
Occasionally, he would type a sentence or two, selectively answering a question from a book lover.
"Will Baguio be resurrected?"
"Anything is possible. ”
"Haida, you won't write Xiaofan to death, right?"
"It's a good idea, I'll think about it. ”
"Will Xiao Fan end up with Xueqi?"
"No matter what I write in the end, you can all write a fandom by yourself: Xiaofan and Xueqi. ”
"Haida, are you really Lin Ke? Lin Ke who used to write songs for those singers and queens?"
"No comment. ”
"Haida, I'm a fan of Jiang Youxi! What song did you write for him, can you reveal it in advance?"
"Please wait for the surprise. ”
......
Du Caige rarely interacts with fans.
He's not a star, he's not good at this.
But this time there was no way, Li Zhe strongly asked him to cooperate, after all, in March, Zhuxian won the third place in the total monthly ticket list and the first place in the Xianxia classification monthly ticket list.
This is not only an honor, but also can increase Du Caige's manuscript fee a little, which has both face and practical benefits.
"I have to give fans a little feedback, after all, rushing to the monthly ticket list is the result of the joint efforts of many fans. And you have to chat with a few fans who have contributed the most individually and give some rewards. In addition, another lottery will be organized, and all fully subscribed readers who join the VIP group can participate in the lucky draw......"
Du Caige doesn't know how to operate, and professional things are left to professional people to do.
Since he handed over the operation to Li Zhe, he must pay enough attention to Li Zhe's proposal.
Even if he is actually very salty, he would rather go to a movie than interact with fans for 2 hours.
But since you are eating this bowl of rice and taking the reader's subscription and reward share, you must respect this profession and respect the contribution of fans.
After chatting with those online Silver Alliances (the Gold Alliance's "Wait You Forget Who I Am" is not online today), the exhausted Du Caige put his LL software into invisibility.
And Li Zhe started the lottery and announced the list of winners in each group.
This time, Du Caige did not spend much money, and the prizes given were mainly signed physical books, ordinary physical books (the above two will not be mailed until they are published), customized model figures, exquisite bookmarks, character illustrations, and genesis coin recharge.
In the future, such activities will definitely continue, and the prizes will be upgraded.
The expenses of Li Zhe's team are actually not small, not only the salaries and nearly expenses of the three members of Li Zhe's team, but also the expenses of their water army and entrustment, but with Du Caige's current income, it is naturally affordable.
Du Caige is even ready to expand the operation team, and Li Zhe has mentioned it to him several times, saying that the manpower is a little stretched.
If Du Caige wants to achieve his small goal, spanning the two fields of online and physical publishing, the current team size will definitely not be enough.
Codeword's life is very fulfilling, and time flies quickly.
Du Caige always felt that he hadn't done anything yet, and the day was over.
Looking back on my experience these days, it seems that I haven't done anything important except for carrying 20,000 or 30,000 words a day.
Every day is to listen to songs, watch movies, and chat with people.
His own editor's favorite, Duan Xiaochen, and his sister Du Yuanqi are all objects of frequent chat.
Sometimes Liu Zifei will also send him a few text messages, discussing movies, or chatting about daily life.
Du Caige was originally worried that Liu Zifei and Duan Xiaochen would express their love in the chat, which would make him very embarrassed.
But fortunately, they are all restrained.
Liu Zifei completely talked to him as a mentor and friend, and seemed to have completely forgotten the little ambiguity at the beginning.
And Duan Xiaochen will inevitably show his affection and thoughts for him in the chat, and sometimes he will tease him a few words jokingly, but it will not be so direct that he can't get off the stage.
Du Caige didn't want to maintain such an ambiguous relationship with Duan Xiaochen, and wanted to make it clear several times. But after he made it clear, Duan Xiaochen didn't flinch, and he didn't want to be too ruthless, after all, the original owner had eaten others, and he was sorry, so he could only be vague like this.
Du Caige sometimes reflects on whether his friends are too yin and yang, and why are the few people he often chats with all women?
If you think about it, it's not the reason why yin flourishes and yang declines.
After all, his male friends also include Jiang Ruoxi, Tang Yezhi and others.
It's just that between men and men, if you want to chat, you have to come out and sit down, and then have a little wine, stir-fry two side dishes, and at least have a plate of peanuts.
Otherwise how to chat?Texting each other to greet each other?
"What are you doing?"
"I'm thinking about you. ”
That's too gay.
In the past few days, many people in the industry have called, some want to ask him to make an appointment, and some are like Director Jin (Du Caige still doesn't know what kind of director he is), saying that they want to ask him out to sit down and get together with a few people in the circle.
Some people also left messages on Weibo: Are you Lin Ke?
Du Caige is all blurred.
Neither admits that he is Lin Ke, nor denies it.
This is because in the parking lot that night, Tang Yezhi told him that the name "Lin Ke" was too hateful, and the original "Lin Ke photography scandal" offended many people and lost the popularity of passers-by.
So I hope that this time, let Du Caige sign those songs under other stage names, and don't publicly admit the identity of "Lin Ke", and blur it, so as not to be targeted by people with intentions.
Du Caige actually didn't care, but since he wanted to promote Jiang Youxi, he had to consider this, and he couldn't have a bad impact on Jiang Youxi's new song.
So unless it is in front of someone he is particularly familiar with, he will be vague and will not admit that he is "Lin Ke." ”
There are also singers who come up and want to ask him for songs.
Du Caige politely refused.
I said that I have been busy lately, and I will talk about it later.
Of course, this is really just an excuse.
He's not quite that busy yet.
Although in a few days, he plans to start releasing "Ghost Blowing the Lamp".
But there are already a lot of manuscripts in storage, so there is no need to worry about the speed of updates.
He just wants to ferment the situation again, and when Jiang Youxi's album is made and everyone sees the effect, then he will talk about selling songs again.
As for gathering with people in the circle, he doesn't really want to get together now.
On the one hand, he wants to dilute the identity of "Lin Ke", and re-enter this circle as "Hemingway".
On the other hand, he plans to contact the original owner's psychological counselor "Izumi" after a while, collect some information about the original owner, and then face those who may be friends or enemies.
Several singers who have cooperated with the original owner, first-line and second-tier singers who have only worked together once or twice, including singer Su Rui, Peng Sizhang, Zhang Zhuowei, etc., have also got his current mobile phone number from various channels and called to greet him.
Du Caige coped with it without saying a word. Say less, make fewer mistakes.
These singers are human spirits and will not bore Du Caige. Since Du Caige didn't want to talk on the phone, they @Du Caige on Weibo, all kinds of overtures.
The frequent @ of these well-known singers has attracted the curiosity of many fans, and Du Caige's Weibo fans have gradually risen to more than 300,000.
For a singer-songwriter who hides behind the scenes, this number of fans is already exaggerated.
Although this popularity is very empty, if Du Caige continues to have good works, this popularity may also turn from virtual to real.
Time is as plain as water.
One day, Du Caige received a strange call, who claimed to be a correctional police officer from "Xincheng Prison", in charge of Du Shuang.
"May I ask about your relationship with Du Shuang?"
"He's my own brother. Du Caige said.
"Understood. Do you agree to let Du Shuang add your number as a family number? ”
"I agree. ”
Before the other party hung up the phone, Du Caige asked how to account Du Shuang.
At present, there are two ways for the other party to pay the account, one is to go to the prison to pay cash, and the other is to send money by post, indicating Du Shuang's name, prison area and number.
"I have one last question," Du Caige asked, "what exactly has my brother committed, and how long is his sentence? I haven't been in touch with him for a long time, and I don't know much about his affairs. ”
"Oh, he's guilty of intentional wounding. He has behaved well in our prison and now has 15 months left in his sentence after his sentence has been commuted. ”
"Thank you. ”
