Chapter 325: Repercussions
Lu Yang wrote another chapter before going to bed, at that time, it was already more than one o'clock in the morning, his head was a little drowsy, Lu Yang finished the code, and did not look at the backstage of the work, the book review area and the news in the Q'Q group, after the code, save the manuscript, shut down the computer, go to wash and sleep.
At eight o'clock the next morning, Lu Yang was still asleep in bed, and was suddenly woken up by Cao Xue, who had already gotten up, opened one eye in a daze, frowned, and asked vaguely: "What are you doing, Xiaoxue?" Let me sleep for a while!"
"Telephone!
Cao Xue took Lu Yang's mobile phone and dangled it in front of Lu Yang's eyes.
The publisher's phone? Calling so early?
Lu Yang frowned again before reaching out to take the phone, the phone was already on call, otherwise Cao Xue would not have known that the call was from the publishing house.
"Hello!"
Lu Yang closed his eyes and said in a daze, and the voice of the general manager of the Children's Literature and Art Publishing House of Province E came from the phone, with a little smile in his voice: "Wen Chou! are you still asleep?"
Lu Yang, who didn't sleep well, was naturally not in a good mood, so he sighed and explained casually: "I haven't slept enough recently, I slept more than one o'clock in the morning last night, and I have a holiday today!"
In a word, only some key words were said, but it was enough for the other party to understand what Lu Yang meant, and the general manager of the children's literature and art publishing in E Province said a word of hard work to Lu Yang on the phone, said two sorry words, and then immediately entered the topic, and said: "That's the case! After these days of arrangement, we have already arranged the signing schedule for you! January 2nd." Shang'hai Station, January 4, Jing'cheng Station, January 6, Guangzhou'zhou Station, January 8......"
The other party said in detail. Where can Lu Yang, who hasn't woken up yet, remember? He interrupted: "Don't say so much! You just tell me when I'm coming! After that, I'll talk about it when I get there, by the way! Did you just say that the first stop was Guangzhou' or Beijing?"
"Hehe! Okay! Let me put it simply, according to our arrangement, you will go to Shanghai tomorrow! The first signing place we have arranged will be in Shanghai! It is not Guangzhou, nor Beijing! Well, if you have time this afternoon, it is best to take a plane this afternoon. As for the cost of the ticket, we will reimburse you when you come!"
"Got it!"
After speaking, he didn't wait for the other party to respond. Lu Yang hung up the phone, he was too sleepy to continue! Cao Xue was stunned for a moment, and hung up the call at Lu Yang. Throw your phone behind the bedside. Cao Xue couldn't help but say: "You talk to the general manager of the publishing house like this? It's too dragged, aren't you? Aren't you afraid that people won't publish it for you in the future?"
What responded to her was Lu Yang pursed his lips and looked like he was asleep again.
If Lu Yang had woken up just now, of course it would be impossible to talk to the general manager of the publishing house, but he was woken up by Cao Xue, he has been lacking sleep a lot recently, it is rare to have a good sleep today, whoever wakes him up will be unhappy, where does it matter if the other party is the general manager of the publishing house?
Not to mention that he is now in the Cheng dù. There is no need to beg the publisher anymore, as long as his fan base is still there. When his new book comes out in the future, even if this publishing house is unwilling to publish his work, there will definitely be other publishing houses vying to publish his book.
In these years, who has a grudge against money?
About another hour passed, and Lu Yang was woken up by Cao Xue again.
This time, Lu Yang's spirit was a little better, but he still only opened one eye, and today he wanted to make up for all the sleep he lacked recently.
Cao Xue held a bowl of porridge, squatted on the side of the bed, and coaxed him with a sweet smile: "Honey! Are you hungry?
Lu Yang glanced at her smiling face with one eye open, and then glanced at the four 'Sichuan sprouts on the porridge, opened his mouth, still only one eye open, and didn't take out the quilt with both hands, and actually asked Cao Xue to feed him, this kind of childlike behavior, Cao Xue really hadn't seen him do it before, and he thought it was very funny, but he subconsciously glanced at Lu Yang, but he still smiled sweetly, scooped a spoonful with a spoon and blew it, and put it in Lu Yang's mouth.
Maybe Lu Yang was lazy to let her feed it when he saw that she was putting a spoon in her bowl.
A bowl of porridge was fed for a while before it was finished, and when Cao Xue wiped Lu Yang's mouth with a napkin, Lu Yang fell asleep again, as early as when Cao Xue fed him porridge, his open eyes were closed.
After wiping his mouth, Cao Xue sat down on the edge of the bed with amusement, in fact, she was not angry, she knew that Lu Yang had to code words until about one o'clock in the morning every night, and sometimes it would be later, and she was already distressed in her heart, sometimes she wanted to persuade Lu Yang not to write novels anymore, the money he earns now, just use it to make some investment, isn't it easier than writing novels?
But every time I saw him sitting in a small dark room, staring at the computer screen, and the ten fingers of his hands crackling on the keyboard, that completely forgetful look, she couldn't say anything like that, Lu Yang told her that he likes to write novels, likes the feeling of controlling the fate of all the characters in his pen, and also likes to see many readers who give rewards and book reviews because they like the stories he writes.
Looking at those things, he will feel that his life has meaning.
Cao Xue doesn't understand these very well, how can someone set the meaning of life on the novel?
But just because she doesn't understand doesn't mean she can't support it.
As long as Lu Yang likes it, she can only let him stay up late every day to code words, at this time, looking at Lu Yang's sleeping appearance, Cao Xue looked at it, and the corners of her mouth showed a little smile.
It's been a long time since I've seen him sleeping carefully, looking at it, Cao Xue lowered her upper body slightly, gently kissed Lu Yang on the forehead, and after kissing, she naughtily stretched out her red tongue and licked it on Lu Yang's nose.
Probably because it was wet and uncomfortable, Lu Yang, who was asleep, subconsciously reached out and wiped the saliva on his nose, Cao Xue chuckled when he saw it, and it felt very funny.
I wanted to lick it again to see the cute appearance of him unconsciously wiping his saliva, but I was afraid of disturbing his sleep, so I thought about it. Still dispelled the idea, got up and went out to buy groceries.
Lu Yang slept until more than ten o'clock in the morning before waking up. When I opened my eyes, I felt that my whole body was lighter, and I was more energetic than a few days ago.
When she got dressed and came out of the bedroom, Cao Xue was already preparing lunch, and today was a sunny day, and the warm sunlight outside shone into the living room, allowing people to see. The mood has become cheerful.
I hadn't practiced boxing for a long time, and Lu Yang suddenly became interested and walked around the living room twice. Cao Xue, who was busy in the kitchen, heard the movement in the living room, turned around and saw Lu Yang boxing, smiled sweetly, and went back to work on her own business.
Finish punching. The spirit is getting better and better. Lu Yang thought about it, went back to the bedroom and took a set of underwear, went to take a shower, and when he came out, Cao Xue was already stir-frying, the aroma of garlic and pork was fragrant, and there was a spicy aroma, as if he was making back to the pot meat.
I didn't expect Cao Xue to even make back to the pot now.
With a good mood. Lu Yang came to the small room to turn on the computer, and first uploaded a chapter manuscript. Then I took a look at the book review area and the situation on the monthly ticket list.
He still hasn't had any manuscripts this month, and the monthly ticket list has fallen to sixth place from the beginning, and if he still can't break out this month, he doesn't know which place he will fall to in the end.
In this regard, Lu Yang didn't care about it, the honor thing, as long as it has been obtained, there is no need to dominate it for a long time, and when there are enough manuscripts, he will compete with those great gods.
Logging in to Q'Q, Didi's new message prompt sounded as usual, and Lu Yang replied happily one by one.
Most of them are sent by readers, but there are also some from other authors.
One of the readers said: "Wenda! Can you release "The Gate of Rebirth" in advance? February 1st is too late, right? I can't wait!"
Another reader said: "Wenda! The trailer is very interesting! When the movie is released, I guarantee to buy a ticket to support it!"
There are more than a dozen similar readers' private messages, which is the consequence of the increase in the number of book fans to 7, and a large number of readers send him private messages every day, that's it, sometimes some readers ask him in the group, why he sent him a message, and he didn't reply.
Asking his readers like this is not one or two, Lu Yang is confused, he replies every time, how can so many people say that he has not replied?
Later, when chatting in the dark realm group, he said that the great god told him that this was Q'Q swallowing news, and there were too many private messages, and Q'Q would miss some of them.
Lu Yang explained this to the readers in the group, and then announced the matter on the bulletin board of each group, which made the daily readers' private messages much less.
There were seven or eight authors of the private messages, most of them either from the Dark Realm group or from the Throne of the Gods group.
Skeleton: "Congratulations! The trailer is wonderful! I wish the movie a big hit!"
Passing by: "Wen Chouju! What movie will you invest in next time, what will you call me? I will also invest 1 million!"
Big Tiger: "The trailer is very 'dick'! So you really wrote the script, and you won't change careers to become a screenwriter in the future, right?"
Boiling dust: "Wen ugly giant! I see the girl with long 'legs' again! The Chinese cabbage is very bright! There is still a lack of a hostess in my villa, what to do, you know!"
Left-handed knife: "I just watched the trailer of your movie, how can I say it! It exceeds my expectations! It should be popular! However, this is not a reason why you don't come to give us a lecture! Let's take some time! The bunnies in the group have asked me 800 times! You always refuse, right?"
……
After replying to these private messages, Lu Yang went into the group again and looked at the chat records in the 7 groups, and basically more than ninety percent of the comments were positive.
That's good news, at least this first trailer was a success.
After thinking about it, Lu Yang found last night's browsing history again, opened the trailer video webpage on Youku, and glanced at the number of viewers of the video and the number of posts.
The trailer was released at 12 o'clock last night, and at this time, the number of viewers has exceeded 3,000 and the number of posts has exceeded 200.
Clicking on these comments, Lu Yang laughed again.
The top post reads:
"Originally, I watched this trailer with the attitude of watching jokes! When I first saw the male protagonist's turtle-like appearance, I was still laughing, and the amateur was really employed! Wen Chou is very awesome at writing novels, and he can play the movie? As a result, after watching the whole trailer, I just want to say: Your sister! Is it true that anyone who can do anything? A person who writes novels can make such a movie! Is the world swollen? Is there anyone else's way to live?"
Lu Yang noticed that there were more than 100 top posts on this post, and only 8 of them were stepped on, and under this post, there were dozens of replies.
The first one replied: "Anyone who writes novels can play such a good movie, I don't believe in love anymore!"
The second floor: "The Shenma logic upstairs, Wen Chou can make such a movie, do you believe that love has a 'Mao relationship?'"
The third floor: "Since ancient times, the second floor has been stupid!
Fourth floor: "When Wen Chou said that he wanted to engage in full copyright operation, many people laughed at him for being too naïve! After Wen Chou lost his competitiveness on the monthly ticket list last month, a lot of people said that he was soft! As a result, the copyright of people's audiobooks was sold! The rights to adapt comics were sold! The rights to adapt games and TV series were also sold one after another! What about those people who joked that Wen Chou was too naïve? Did his face swell? Last month, Wen Chou's monthly ticket list was soft! But people are now making movies hard! At this moment, I just want to ask: Can the people of the earth still stop Wen Chou from continuing to be 'commotion'? Can it still be?"
Fifth floor: "The upstairs is too much! The trailer is just a trailer, whether the movie works or not, not a trailer can decide!"
Sixth floor: "Looking forward to the release of the movie! Looking forward to Wen Chou's continued bullishness!"
……
Just when Lu Yang was reading these posts and was in a happy mood, the mobile phone rang, and it was Wang Lin calling.
Wang Lin: "Have you watched the trailer?
On the phone, Wang Lin's tone was relaxed and happy, and he was obviously in a good mood.
Lu Yang said with a smile: "I've seen it! It's very good! If the trailer in the later stage can still maintain this level, the box office of this movie can be expected!"
Wang Lin: "Don't worry! Before making this trailer, we have already done ten planning projects, and the level of the trailer in the later stage is guaranteed to be not much worse than the first one!"
Wang Lin's guarantee made Lu Yang frown slightly: "Why isn't it guaranteed to be more exciting than the first one?"
Wang Lin chuckled: "The first one is to catch people's attention! To attract everyone's interest, it is naturally the most exciting! How can the later trailers maintain this level? Don't worry! Although the planning of the next few trailers is not as good as the first one, the gap is very small, and it will not disappoint everyone too much!"
Lu Yang frowned and thought for a while, and said: "If it doesn't work, just cut the number of trailers by a few! Try to raise the quality of the next few trailers to the height of the first one, in fact, think about it now, from January to February, there is only one month, we don't need to really launch ten or eight trailers, just about five! Use all the publicity expenses on the promotion of more media!"
On the other side of the phone, Wang Lin pondered for a moment before he said, "Okay! I'll discuss it with the frog later! Why don't you come and give us ideas? It's New Year's Day, you should have time, right?"
Lu Yang: "I should come over tomorrow! Let's talk about it then!" (To be continued......)
