Now that the coffee has been done and let Yue Qingyan go to the press conference, it can be regarded as being able to make up for it. This is how the Lianxing Festival weighed it in his heart.

"Broken Soul Gun" will be nominated for a short story, which itself is not operated by the company before Ming. In fact, there was almost no direct contact between the company and the review team. According to the verse of the line, it is: not enough. As the most authoritative work selection system in China, the judges are all famous in the circle, and almost all members of the short story group are well-known figures in the pure literary world. It's not surprising that in the commercial literary circle, there is no opportunity to write short stories except for magazines.

But since he has entered the nomination, then Ming Qian will naturally not turn a blind eye, but this kind of promotion and public relations will be very low-key. Yue Qingyan is a newcomer, and being nominated is already a great success in itself. Even if he doesn't win the award, he has to find a way to make Yue Qingyan familiar with his face, and everyone will not reject more of his works in the future. If you want to get this award right away, you don't have much hope.

The importance of qualifications in the literary circle is far from what the outside world can imagine. For example, the fame of a rookie author and the number of sales have been tens of thousands, that is just a matter in the circle of best-selling authors. Does the pure literary circle care about this kind of thing? It is often a group of people or even people in an industry who have grown to a certain extent that they open their walls "like an illusory valley" and welcome new literary categories and new forces in literary creation.

Not to mention anything else, in the pure literary circle, the standard for young writers is set at 45 years old. And in reality, there are not many people who are 45 years old and can still fight in the circle of online articles or bestsellers.

But, of course, Lianxing Festival will not be unable to get along with the pure literary circle because of all this. But at the moment, the first thing is to arrange Yue Qingyan's first appearance in front of readers.

hung up the phone with Ka Ka, and Lian Xingjie immediately found Ah Yue and Xu Yingying: "You guys hurry up and get ready, Yue Qingyan will attend the press conference tomorrow, and everything must be prepared in advance." ”

"Oh, it's a fucking big deal, why did you tell me at this time?"

"Didn't the authors scare Yue Qingyan and they were played by the coffee coffee? The coffee coffee fought for Yue Qingyan to come, which is a ...... Take a stand. Lian Xingjie said, "If there is anything that I need to coordinate, you speak first, and I will start immediately." ”

"First of all, the notification link: There are 1,000 people who are expected to come to the scene tomorrow, and it is impossible to sign them all, Yue Qingyan can't stand it. Therefore, it is better for me to ask the operation to make a QR code, scan the QR code to get a number, and then select some people to participate in interactive activities. This is simple, it will be online in a while, and then it will be posted simultaneously on WeChat Weibo and several fan groups. But what will we do on the scene tomorrow?" Xu Yingying was confused.

The venue for their launch tomorrow is the Sisyphus Bookstore's Global Harbor store, the space is very limited, if it is just to announce the start of sales and sell the book immediately, it doesn't matter, the bookstore can handle it. But if Yue Qingyan appears with him, that place can not guarantee that everyone will be able to see Yue Qingyan clearly, nor will it have enough communication functions.

"It's really not possible to change the open space under the Global Harbor, isn't it a hotel next door? Lian Xingjie said: "Anyway, the general place is still Global Harbor." This can't be moved, otherwise it will be difficult to explain to the readers and the bookstore. ”

"Okay. I'm going to implement it as soon as possible. Xu Yingying hurriedly said: "The layout of the venue can only be simple." I went to talk to the bookstore and Global Harbor to see what could be used on site. ”

"If you have a big screen, you can just put it on the background. Go and ask Jin Yuan, if you can change a picture that readers haven't seen before, just put on the LOGO and characters. It doesn't have to be complicated. Ah Yue said.

Xu Yingying: "What about the clothes? The formal wear is too serious and has a sense of distance. Don't worry about anything, he's pretty good at breaking. ”

Ah Yue: "Didn't we sample the military uniforms of the Empire and the Alliance before?" Other decorations, rank symbols, and the like are removed. ”

"This is good!" Xu Yingying nodded hurriedly: "But why not the imperial army uniform?"

"Isn't that more distant? It's not good to feel too cous. Ah Yue said.

Lian Xingjie listened to them say a word and a general overview of the whole thing, and it was also quite gratifying. "Don't forget to be ready for the signing session, not all of them, but at least some of them. Communicate well with the bookstore, this link is in their hands. Manage the site well. ”

Those who have never participated in such organizational activities will never know how much meticulous preparation is going on behind the readers who are happy to meet the author and ask for autographs. The coffee did confirm that Yue Qingyan could participate, whether it was for Ming Qian, for the bookstore, or even for Yue Qingyan, it was a good thing, but this good thing required a lot of hard work. As the boss of Lian Xingjie, in order to have a score for the whole thing, don't think about sleeping well today. If there is a problem, he, as the boss, must come forward to solve it. Ah Yue and Xu Yingying need to confirm the venue, confirm the scene construction, etc., and it is estimated that they will be busy until the event starts. The people under them also have to work separately to implement site management, security, fire protection, and so on. In addition, moving hundreds of sets of books to the other side of the venue is also a very troublesome physical task.

Yue Qingyan was not easy. It was the first time he had to appear in front of a reader, and he didn't realize it at first. The company didn't urge him much, and they were still quite relieved of him. He wrote the manuscript peacefully until one o'clock in the morning. Then, when he woke up the next day, he began to feel nervous.

Authors, at least most of them, are really the least adept at dealing with crowded environments. People who are too accustomed to fighting alone are always prone to absurdity when it comes to crowded occasions, or at least they don't like and adapt so much. Yue Qingyan is very serious. Around 11 o'clock, Mo Ersheng and Coffee came together.

Seeing that Yue Qingyan was a little nervous, he said hesitantly, "You will be nervous too." This is quite unusual. ”

Yue Qingyan: "In this regard, I am really an out-and-out newcomer. ”

"Hurry up and get familiar with it, you will definitely be indispensable for this kind of activity in the future. At least the third volume is out, aren't you scheduled to have a readers' exchange meeting?" said with great experience: "In the future, it is estimated that you will have to have an event or meeting every week or two, and this state must be adjusted." ”

"How can you be so busy?" Yue Qingyan had never reached such a height, so naturally he had no way to guess what this kind of life was like.

"When you have a few popular books in your hands in a few years, and you sell the film and television adaptation rights and game adaptation rights, you will know. Just having a meeting with this kind of producer, it is estimated that ten or twenty times a year is always required, on-site exploration classes, participation in industry forums, even if it is just to give a platform, five or six times a year, right? Then, the salons or forums in the authors' circles, the seminars and studies of the Writers' Association and the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, and the spiritual transmission and learning after the Central Committee meeting...... If you really want to go down, it may be more than that. Ka Ka said: "Why do you think my uncle is in such a bad state? I can't settle down to study and study for several years, and now the momentum of the rising star is strong, and the bookseller publishing house will not give a servant street goods more opportunities, his status in the rivers and lakes is, everyone knows that it is not entirely a problem of poor writing, and the state is not good, but this kind of disturbance is really impossible to avoid for an author, and there is no way." ”

Yue Qingyan sighed. In this way, looking at it, Dong Shixuan felt quite pitiful and miserable, and Yue Qingyan even felt that it seemed a little unkind to scold him at the beginning. However, Ka Ka's words reduced his nervousness and anxiety.

Although the fans got the news yesterday very late, they conveyed the news very enthusiastically, and it also caused a lot of controversy. Now the part serialized on the Internet must exceed the content of the first and second volumes, but the excess part is okay, there are not many people who died, and the most important guys are still alive, and the indignation and resentment caused by Yue Qingyan among readers are not deep. Although there are also voices of the blade pie, there seem to be more people feeding the food on the spot. God knows, when did the practice of feeding authors food on the spot begin, and it has become an amazing phenomenon in the book publishing industry.

Yue Qingyan arrived at the scene, changed his clothes in the office, and when he walked near the event venue, he saw that the corridor on one side was full of large bags of food brought by readers.

"These ...... Are they?" Yue Qingyan was speechless.

"Yes, there are still a few editors in front of you who are registering and receiving, and you need to sign a large number of small cards when you go back, and the editorial department will send them back. Xu Yingying said.

"These foods ...... It's enough for me to eat for a month, right?" Yue Qingyan was amazed.

"Mostly snacks and chocolates. There are a lot of potato chips, puffed food, and so on, and there are local specialties brought by readers from other places?" Xu Yingying seemed happy to see Yue Qingyan's surprised expression. This guy is usually too calm, and he is really never scared about creation, but it seems that the attitude of readers is still a little unfamiliar. That's interesting.

"Souvenirs? Readers from other places? Someone else came here? Aren't they just two books? They've all read them on the Internet...... This is not ......" Yue Qingyan didn't understand very well.

"You've shaped a world for them to enter. They got in and liked it. Whether it is buying books or feeding them, they are all ways to express their love for the world. In fact, everyone is quite clumsy, and the relationship between readers and authors, the online literature circle is probably closer, and everyone's communication is direct and real-time. However, you have never been a person who likes to read reviews on the Internet, and you have been writing in the past few months, and it has been really hard for you to ask for more. Everyone communicates through text, after all, there are many emotions that cannot be conveyed. How do you say it? "Mind......" Xu Yingying said, "But the age distribution of your readers is very strange......"

Xu Yingying is actually afraid that she will be emotional. There are not many relationships between readers and authors that can really be maintained. What the authors need is more loneliness, and most of them are not good at this kind of thing, except for a few who are particularly good at it. And readers, how intense their love is, how chic they will be after the enthusiasm has passed. In the traditional literary circle, there is no shortage of core readers and authors who have become friends, and some even have friendships that have lasted for more than ten years, and there are many of them that have developed from words to offline. Even many start with an author's debut novel, followed by the author's pen. Now, it's really hard to do this kind of thing.

It's hard to say what will happen to the fans of "Eunyoung", but at present, it seems that the victory lies in the large base. According to the statistics of the operation editors, the "13th Fleet", the largest fan group on the website platform and subsequently managed on QQ and other social platforms, has almost 200,000 people, of which 30,000 are active users. There are also a lot of fans who have been brought in by painters and fandoms. Such a group, plus they are all young people, like to be lively, like various activities, and like to communicate directly with the author, it is not too difficult to bring such a trend. The difficult thing is to let this kind of love last for ten years.
