Chapter 12: A Strange Voice
Forum Under the Moon.
This is a gathering place for literature lovers, and these days, the forum is about to be slaughtered by a short story.
[God's work, no explanation]
[Another dark horse after Han Dong and Wang Mao, two newcomers in the literary world]
[I've watched it for the eighteenth time, and I'm about to watch it for the nineteenth time]
[Can anyone tell me what's so good about this book?]
[In-depth analysis of the book "Phantom City"]
[Is "Phantom City" really that awesome]
[Who the hell is Hua Manlou?]
[Flower full of buildings, accept me as an apprentice]
[Flower full of buildings, be my boyfriend]
[Missing Person Notice: Flower Full Building]
[Boldly predict a wave, Huamanlou is gay]
[Newcomers want to ask, what is "Phantom City", and what is Huamanlou]
[Who has this issue of "Breaking the Waves", the landlord pays twice the price to buy it]
["Breaking the Waves" is the biggest winner, the data speaks]
casually glanced, the questions discussed were all about "Phantom City" and Hua Manlou, you can imagine how popular "Phantom City" is now.
Because Breaking Waves Magazine didn't expect "Phantom City" to be so popular, only 130 million copies were distributed, so many people didn't buy the book.
However, this is not difficult for powerful netizens, a certain tentacle monster, it only took two hours to type out the "Phantom City" and post it to the forum.
The number of people who have seen "Phantom City" has begun to grow wildly.
It can be said that "Phantom City" is really popular.
Breaking the Waves Magazine.
"Everybody saw it. Editor-in-chief Luo Ying pointed to the post on the forum under the moon on the computer screen.
"At first, everyone thought that it was too risky for me to increase the number of prints all at once, but it turned out that even I was wrong. "Phantom City" is so popular now, let alone 13,000 copies, even if it is 20,000 copies, it is not a problem at all. ”
"But now the question is, the novel "Phantom City" is a short story, not a serialized medium and long story, what do we do to retain readers who buy our "Breaking Waves" because of "Phantom City"?"
"Everyone brainstormed and came up with a plan. After Luo Ying finished explaining the task, she said to Ye Ziwei: "Ziwei, you come in with me." ”
Office of the Editor-in-Chief.
"Ziwei, you were in charge of buying "Phantom City" last time, and this time I have a task for you, I hope you will be responsible for signing Hua Manlou to our company. ”
Ye Ziwei herself also likes the book "Phantom City", of course she knows how powerful the author who can write this book is, but such a powerful character, would she be willing to sign in to a small magazine like them.
But this kind of worry can't be said, you don't have confidence, right, then change to someone who has confidence, this kind of beauty difference people can't grab it if they want to.
"No problem, guaranteed to get the job done. ”
Luo Ying seemed to see that Ye Ziwei was under some pressure, and teased with a smile: "That guy may be a handsome uncle." ”
Ye Ziwei smiled bitterly, the reality is that most of the writers are a group of raunchy weird uncles, either with a big belly, or thin and malnourished.
Both of them have read the signing materials of Hua Manlou and know that the other party is in his forties, and he is not a young man as people on the Internet speculate.
However, Ye Ziwei's intuition told her that there might be something strange in this, because she couldn't believe that a strange uncle could write such dreamlike words.
Is it really like what the editor-in-chief said, the other party is a handsome uncle?
Phew, what do you think? Ye Ziwei's face was slightly red.
Kicking out the unrealistic ideas in her mind, Ye Ziwei said, "Then the editor-in-chief, what is the price for signing him?"
Luo Ying thought about it for a while, and said ruthlessly: "The maximum is three thousand words." ”
Ye Ziwei gasped, this price is too high, you know, the other party is just a newcomer who has written a short story. The last time I gave a thousand-word 900 buyout was already an exception in the exception, but I didn't expect it to be more ruthless this time.
No matter how good the novel is in Phantom City, it is still too risky to do so.
If the other party's work is mediocre later, the deal is a big loss.
Ye Ziwei thought that this was the end, but she didn't expect Luo Ying to be at ease, she added: "If the price proposed by the other party exceeds three thousand, it will be handed over to me to negotiate, understand?"
Ye Ziwei understood, there is no doubt that Luo Ying is determined to win on the surface, and at the same time is reminding her, if you can't do it, I will do it myself, but then there will be no credit for you.
Li Qing didn't know anything about his novel suddenly becoming popular.
He's irritable right now.
His throat was hoarse.
In the past few days of cold, he found that his throat was extremely itchy, and sometimes it would be like a flame burning in it, and it hurt hotly.
At first, he thought it was the cause of the cold, and he didn't pay much attention to it, he took some medicine, how should he live, or how to live.
It wasn't until the cold got better that he realized that the incident was not so simple.
His throat was so sore that he could barely speak, and Li's father hurriedly took him to the hospital to see him, but unfortunately the doctor couldn't find out what the reason was.
After going home and lying down for a few days, the pain finally subsided.
Eventually, the pain was gone, but his throat was gone.
Songs that used to be easily sung now break when they are sung.
"I'm so uncomfortable. His voice now sounded like a duck smoking a cigarette with a mouthful of phlegm.
The girl who was doing it across from him comforted, "It's okay, it's going to be fine." ”
"I'm so worried that one day I won't be able to sing, I won't be able to sing anything but sing. ”
"You can play the guitar, you can play the violin, you can play the harmonica, you can play the flute, you can play the ...... Well, you can play the piano and most importantly, you can write songs. ”
"But...... But...... I love singing. ”
She was silent, not knowing how to comfort her, the word "like" was so heavy that she couldn't find anything heavier.
If one day, someone says the word "like" to himself, he is afraid that he will not be able to bear it.
She was so light, as light as a piece of paper, that when the wind blew, she floated away.
……
A young man with a guitar on his back got out of the dilapidated bus, he was wearing a black cotton coat, black pants, and Kuroko's shoes.
He asked passers-by for directions and walked towards the entrance of Xiaofan's school.
The doorman wouldn't let him in, so he waited at the door.
After school, groups of youthful students walked in front of him, some were three or four years old, some were six or seven years old, some were eleven or twelve years old, and some were fifteen or sixteen years old.
Until all the students were gone, he asked the doorman if he could let him in.
The doorman still said no.
He continued to wait.
When the night got dark, the students came one after another.
The New Year's Day party is today.
Li Qing was running around the wall when suddenly, a person fell off the wall.
"Who?" asked Li Qing.
"Tang Yu, what about you?"
"Li Qing. ”
Sometimes, ape droppings come as they say.
