Chapter 937: The Beginning of Two Women's Lives
For "Say No" to be able to build momentum in such a short period of time, Li Xian is still a little puzzled in his heart.
But when he entered the house and listened to Katya talk about the changes in her life in the past two days, Li Xian understood why this book could be so popular.
This matter has to start with the publishing house in New Taipei.
When Li Xian and Feilong were fighting in the newspaper, the subscription of the Northern Youth Daily increased greatly, and later for a while, Li Xian used the chicken soup for the soul to increase the traffic of the "Northern Youth" newspaper.
You know, what was the 90s?
Wenqing is popular, and the first thing most young people look at when they fall in love is not the house and car, but the age of talent and character. Let's put it this way, if you chase the horse, if you don't know how to say two sour words, people and girls won't like to take care of you!
It's just such an era.
Before Li Xian, it was Haizi Sanmao and Zhang Ailing that kind of literary and young sentences that warmed the restless and sullen hearts of the majority of literary youth.
However, the excerpts from the article of the child Sanmao Zhang Ailing are beautiful, but the sentences like that are excerpts from the article, and they must be linked to the context to understand their beauty and wonder.
Compared with Li Xian, who does not need context at all, two or three sentences of an aphorism, at a glance, it gives people a kind of "The words are so beautiful! What he said is so reasonable", but in fact, there is no use for chicken soup, which still seems to be a little tactful.
Therefore, as soon as Li Xian's chicken soup came out, it quickly fermented among the vast number of young people such as student workers.
Seeing that the popularity is too high, many young people even made newspaper clippings from the "Youth Ask Li Xian" section of "Northern Youth" and pasted it on the bedside of their dormitory. The editorial department of the "Northern Youth" newspaper felt that this chicken soup for the soul was a bit blind if it was used like this, so they approached the public relations department of New Taipei and planned to ask for a sponsorship to compile Li Xian's chicken soup into a book and then publish it.
That was the matter of '95, and in '95, China's publishing units were generally carrying out reforms. Many publishing houses are selling to the outside world, and the New Taipei Group itself has its own printing house, so the group has set up a New Taipei Publishing House by itself.
A few days ago, when Katya sent the book "Say No", which was actually written for Li Xian, to the publishing house, when the new editor-in-chief of New Taipei Publishing House supervised the cover, he felt that just put some Great Wall, and the Statue of Liberty and other elements that express the opposition between Chinese and Western cultural concepts are too cold and hard.
Not enough of a sense of conflict.
After that, after seeing the young, beautiful, and blonde Mao Mei author, the editor-in-chief slapped his thigh.
directly printed Katya's photo on the title page of the book, and used bold and accentuated font size to focus on Katya's experience.
Young Russian female writer.
Half Chinese ancestry.
After the collapse of the Russian economy in 92, he came to China to study alone.
As the editor-in-chief of the newspaper "Northern Youth", he has published more than a dozen articles in the economic and social fields.
Are these resumes useful?
Nature is useful.
If nothing else, Sino-Russian relations are there, similar systems, and currently experiencing similar international threats.
But there is only one element that has caused "Say No" to spread so quickly in such a short period of time.
What?
Katya's photo!
Young, beautiful, hairy girl,
Born in the arts, he can dance ballet, but he has a deep insight into the economic field.
What kind of character is this?
There is a face and talent, the appearance of the vase treasure heart.
All of a sudden, the character of the erudite beautiful girl is erected!
What's worse is that.
Although the content of the book "Say No" is a sober analysis of the economic situation and the international situation that China is currently facing, its core is a book of young people's anger.
It can be said that the three views of this book are simply not too in line with the three views and appetites of contemporary youth.
Imagine what it would be like to have a young and beautiful girl whispering in your ear what you agree with.
Looking at the content of the book, and then looking at the cover, 70% of the young friends feel that they are in love!
"Li Xian, I'll tell you. In the past week, I have received more than 700 letters. They all appreciated my views, affirmed the non-work of "Say No", and at the end they expressed their admiration for me and courted me. I'm such a good girl, now give you a chance to woo me, you have to seize it!"
In the study, watching Katya show off her power like a proud peacock, Li Xian burst out laughing.
"So beautiful Miss Katya, can you enjoy a face and have lunch with me today?"
Katya's eyes narrowed, "Okay! What are we going to eat?"
"Somen noodles!"
Li Xianhu made a face.
Look at you!
If you don't clean it up, wait for the book to ferment for a period of time, and when it is really popular all over China, you can't go to the house to uncover the tiles?
was scolded by Li Xian, Katya pouted angrily: "Stingy ghost." By the way, Li Xian, in the morning, a newspaper in Beijing called and said that he wanted to give me an exclusive interview, should I answer or not?"
"Why don't you take it? Katya, now that the book has been interviewed, do you know what you should do in the next period of time?" Li Xian nodded and asked instead.
"What for?"
Katya tilted her head.
"Do everything you can to create momentum for the book "Say No", so that this book can sweep the country in the fastest time!"
Boom!
Li Xian slapped the table heavily.
......
Katya was actually reluctant to do that interview.
She didn't tell Li Xian explicitly that the unit that proposed the interview was "Guangming Daily".
The first batch of "Say No" was not actually aimed at the whole country. Instead, it is only aimed at the Beijing area and the Longjiang area, the big root settlement of New Taipei, and the Longjiang area is not to mention it. Because of the particularity of the region, the transmission group is highly active, and the degree of fire is better than that of Longjiang.
In the more than ten days since it was put on the shelves in Longjiang, Xinhua Bookstore began to look for pirated copies to buy and sell on the streets, and it is even more conceivable in Beijing.
Katya didn't know the specific situation, but I heard from the publishing house that after the first and second batches of genuine books were sold out within a week, many printing houses in the capital area that were not very efficient began to work overtime.
Naturally, all printed books are pirated books.
With the current copyright awareness, they must be powerless in the matter of piracy, but when this book was published, New Taipei didn't want to make much money. It's just a momentum.
Having said that, a book is made of "expensive paper in the capital", and it is impossible for Katya, a strange woman, to not be noticed.
But the influence of Guangming Daily is there, and Kagaad will go in person to do an interview.
Put it on others, this is naturally unattainable.
But Katya is different, he was busy publishing books during this time, although he and Li Xian were in Bingcheng, they gathered less and left more.
What she plans is to wait for the book to be published, and then she will invite her to be favored and stick to Li Xian for a while.
Accepting this interview means traveling far away.
It's easy to catch the opportunity, and it's flying again.
But there was no way, Li Xian's attitude was tough. Aggrieved and aggrieved after Li Xian's buttocks for an afternoon, he finally got Li Xiansan's soft words or two, so he reluctantly went home, packed his things and booked a ticket to the capital.
Talk about two ends.
Here, Li Xian easily coaxed Katya, a sticky little goblin, away, and was about to go back to the study to contact the group to arrange the next affairs, when he saw Shen Jingbing standing in front of the door of the study with his shoulders crossed.
At night, the antique chandeliers in the hallway are dimly lit.
Coldly, such a big person appeared, and Li Xian jumped.
"Oh, what are you doing here?"
Snorting at Li Xian, who was patting his chest, Shen Jingbing stood up straight, "Li Xian, I'm going to the capital too." ”
"Huh?"
Li Xian was stunned.
He keenly noticed Shen Jingbing's word "also", and knew that when he and Katya were discussing things in the study just now, a certain guy who was secretly rubbing was eavesdropping outside the door.
Katya and Shen Jingbing don't deal with each other, since Su Ya came back from the main palace, Shen Jingbing has been staring at Katya every day. Every time Katya performed the "Charm Technique", Li Xian could hear a cough or the sound of hitting something hard next to him.
It's just that at this time, he doesn't know what Shen Jingbing's neuropathy is doing.
"It's a serious matter for Katya to go to the capital, what are you going there for?"
He asked.
Shen Jingbing took out a flyer directly from his pocket.
Li Xian took a look, okay.
It's nothing else.
Years later, the audition for the third phase of "Only You China's Got Talent" began.
Li Xian once promised this goods, and when the third audition was held, he would directly open the back door and let her enter the show to be exposed, in order to find relatives and find clues about her life experience.
"You ......." Li Xian patted his hairy face.
Alas, sure enough, the more women there are, the more things to do.
However, Shen Jingbing's obsession with participating in the talent show is to find clues about her life experience, Shen Jingbing has also been at home for so long, and occasionally sees her squatting on the stairs in a daze, her eyes are empty, Li Xian feels uncomfortable.
"It's okay for you to go, but are you ready for the show?" Well, Li Xian arranged a program for her in order to deal with Shen Jingbing and let her stop bothering herself.
Magic.
Li Xian hadn't seen Liu Qian's magic decryption before he crossed it, but he knew both hands. Years ago, I taught Shen Jingbing to practice by herself to prepare for the talent show.
"Hmm. Shen Jingbing nodded and took out a water cup from his pocket.
clumsy, he performed a magic trick for Li Xian to turn into a goldfish empty-handed.
Seeing Shen Jingbing in front of him clumsily put the goldfish hidden in his sleeve into the water cup, Li Xian rubbed his swollen temples.
Just these two hands,
It's still a fart!
I'm afraid that others won't know that the talent show has a relationship!
Li Xian waved his hand: "This won't work." After you went on stage, there were too many flaws, and I am afraid that you will not be able to edit. Although I can let you skip the audition and go straight to the show. But "Got Talent" is a cooperation between ATV and CCTV, and your performance, I'm afraid it will be edited out at that time. ”
When Li Xian said this, Shen Jingbing's eyes finally fluctuated.
She frowned, "Then what should I do?"
"Well, discover some other talents. ”
"Li Xian, what talent do I have?"
Looking at Shen Jingbing's blank gaze, Li Xian teased, "Otherwise, you will go on stage to perform a dark dish for the judges and the audience live?"
Shen Jingbing's face darkened.
"Okay, okay, okay!" Seeing that Shen Jingbing was starting to look for a feather duster, Li Xian hurriedly stopped.
He looked Shen Jingbing up and down, until the other party couldn't help but protect his chest and clamped his legs, and then smiled.
"You...... Take two steps and see?"
"Huh?" Shen Jingbing frowned, "Let's go?"
Li Xian nodded and said, "Yes, let's go! Have you seen the model?"
"Yes. ”
"Come!"
Shen Jingbing hesitated for a moment and took off the sportswear top on her body.
In the aisle, he wore heavy cotton slippers and walked around twice.
"Tut-tut,"
Looking at Shen Jingbing's almost perfect figure, which could not be covered by rustic sportswear, Li Xian was stunned.
"That's it!"
When Shen Jingbing walked to the third lap, Li Xian slapped him.
"Come to think of it, stop doing magic, you're not that material. Let's go down the catwalk!"
"Catwalk?" Shen Jingbing wondered, "It's too ordinary like a model, isn't it?" ”
"Got Talent, of course, can't make you ordinary. Li Xian smiled, "Have you ever heard of a cross-dressing catwalk?"
Shen Jingbing thought for a while, bit her lip and shook her head.
Li Xian hooked the corners of his mouth, "I'll ask Katya to book you a ticket in a while." You go with her, and I will greet Lin Jianyue at the other end of the audition. You just care about the catwalk and the costumes...... You don't have to worry about it. ”
Seeing Shen Jingbing's solemn expression, Li Xian smiled slightly.
"Don't worry, it's going to make you angry. ”
