Chapter 23: The 'Stain' on Life
The fast-paced urban life makes all kinds of people always unable to stop hurrying. For the so-called survival, for the heart that is unwilling to be mediocre, rushing to the unknown journey, but also inadvertently lost too much beauty of life.
Although a chance encounter on the plane allowed Lu Wenbin to get acquainted with Adilisa. But one focuses on creation, and the other expects to learn something from the crew this time. The school gate is separated, and there seems to be no connection at the back.
For Lu Wenbin, this is just a chance encounter, and there is no need to appear too enthusiastic. But for Adilissa, she still looked a little depressed. The reason is that the mobile phone number was given to Lu Wenbin, and the other party never even sent her a text message.
This also made Adilisa realize for the first time that she did not seem to be as popular as she thought in the eyes of others. Just thinking of the object of Lu Wenbin's confession, Adilisa felt that it might be normal for Lu Wenbin to treat her like this.
After returning to the imperial capital, Lu Wenbin lived a hermit-like life again. I have nothing to do to write novels, write songs, occasionally go out for a walk, and more often buy some daily necessities. This kind of monotony, Lu Wenbin seems willing.
Even some residents around the community think that Lu Wenbin looks mysterious. Under normal circumstances, it seems that very few people live in such communities with a high proportion of older people. But Lu Wenbin seems to be very happy here.
In fact, for such a life, Lu Wenbin also knows that he lacks the vitality that young people should have. But the problem is that he has a body in his early twenties, but he has a mentality in his early thirties.
Lu Wenbin, who is very aware of the importance of his career, also hopes to work hard to achieve some achievements as soon as possible. Even in the eyes of netizens, he is now a well-known online writer. But for many people, he is still a passerby.
Practice every morning and evening, and find time to create at noon and afternoon. Every day seems to be very fulfilling for Lu Wenbin. Compared with the blindness of young people, Lu Wenbin has long-term considerations and plans for himself.
The practice is a health preservation skill that I learned from a Taoist master in my previous life. The boxing practiced is also Taijiquan and Bajiquan learned by consulting Taoist masters in the previous life. In the previous life, he learned boxing more out of hobbies, but in this life, he hopes to apply what he has learned.
Although he still didn't feel that he had achieved any fame, Lu Wenbin could also feel that practicing made him clear and energetic, and practicing boxing could make him fit and have a certain ability to protect himself.
Even if he can't be a martial arts master, Lu Wenbin feels that it won't take much time to practice boxing. The only thing that is more difficult may be whether or not you can persevere. After all, no matter how powerful a master is, he can't be trained in a day!
With the finalization of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", the number of words updated by Lu Wenbin on Haohan.com has unknowingly reached 500,000. The number of updates at least three times a day still makes many online authors ashamed.
Only Lu Wenbin knows that if the network authors of this time and space know that the network authors of another time and space will update ten chapters in a row, and some even explode more than 100 changes at one time, it is estimated that they will feel even more shameless.
What makes Lu Wenbin more pleased is that perhaps his character has been constantly updated, plus the number of updates at least three times a day after it is put on the shelves. Let the 'ghost blow the lamp', which should have been on the shelves, and the number of collections continued to climb all the way.
At the end of August, the collection of 'Ghost Blowing Lantern' officially exceeded 800,000, and the average order was also as high as nearly 700,000. For such a popular novel, Haohan Literature Network finally took the initiative to revise the sharing contract.
From the previous five to five, it has been changed to a seven-to-three score that only a few well-known writers can enjoy. Author seven, website three!
Lu Wenbin, who received the contract, also said with interest: "Lingtong, I have finished writing the follow-up chapters of the ghost blowing the lantern and am preparing the second new book." In view of the sincerity of your website, my second novel will still be published exclusively on Haohan.com. ”
Looking at the message sent by Lu Wenbin, Lingtong, who had been in a good mood recently, also smiled and said: "Editor-in-chief, look, I'm not wrong, right? As long as we show sincerity, he won't just change jobs. ”
Hurry up and ask, has he finished writing the ghost blowing the lamp? What is the final word count? And when are you going to upload the new book? If so, sign the copyright of his second novel as soon as possible. ’
'Okay, editor-in-chief! I'll tell him!'
In the face of Lingtong's inquiry, I still hope to sign the second novel as soon as possible. Lu Wenbin quickly replied: "The final word count of the novel is about 1.1 million, and it is expected to end in mid-October."
If nothing happens, the new book will be uploaded in early October. As for signing in advance, forget it. I am responsible for my new book, and I am also responsible for the website and the readers, and there is no need to sign up in advance.
As long as you don't reveal my contact information, I'm sure other websites won't be able to find anyone even if they want to poach me, right?
Looking at the information replied by Lu Wenbin, although the editor-in-chief felt a little regretful, he could also feel Lu Wenbin's sincerity. Although he was curious about why Lu Wenbin didn't want to be famous, the editor-in-chief still agreed with the request to keep his identity secret.
Regarding the confusion of the editor-in-chief, Lingtong, who had talked to Lu Wenbin about this topic before, also said in a timely manner: "Editor-in-chief, it seems that the thief doesn't like to show his head. He also said a sentence, what is called 'people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong'.
If we hadn't kept his information confidential earlier, it is estimated that other websites would have sent people to poach him. Actually, that's fine, I think the author should be comfortable creating, instead of thinking about being famous all day long.
As long as you write well, are you afraid that you won't have a chance to become famous? I have always felt that although the thief is not very old, his personality is very calm and sophisticated. Perhaps it is because of this that he was able to write such a classic novel. ”
As the responsible editor who discovered and signed a contract, Lingtong, who communicated with Lu Wenbin the most, seems to have become Lu Wenbin's little fan sister. Even if the two have never met, Lingtong seems to feel that everything the thief says is right!
There is a popular saying in the entertainment industry that 'you should become famous as soon as possible', which does have some truth. But for many people who are really young and famous, it is very important to be able to maintain their original intention and stick to it.
In the entertainment industry of the Yanhuang Empire, there is no shortage of young and famous people. But with the loss of time, the young and famous people who can really continue to stay in the entertainment industry are very rare. Therefore, becoming famous at a young age is a blessing or a curse, and it depends on the individual's mentality.
Although he became famous with the book "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", others only know that the author of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" is called the thief. Except for guessing that it should be a male author, the reader knows nothing about what age or background.
In Lu Wenbin's view, exposing his identity will certainly bring him some reputation. But correspondingly, it will also disturb his otherwise peaceful life. At least in the current situation, Lu Wenbin enjoys this freedom.
Even after writing 'Ghost Blowing the Lamp', Lu Wenbin tried to write the first script of two lives. Based on the story of 'Exquisite Ancient City', Lu Wenbin plans to write a TV script of about 20 episodes.
Even if no one talks to him about the adaptation of novels into film and television dramas in a short period of time, Lu Wenbin feels that making more preparations is not a bad thing after all. After all, many times opportunities favor those who are prepared.
has another online drama filmed in another time and space in his mind as a reference, and Lu Wenbin's creation of the script is also much easier. In Lu Wenbin's plan, this script is a stepping stone for him to enter the industry.
If the film and television company that wants to buy the copyright of the novel does not agree to adopt his script, then Lu Wenbin would rather not sell the copyright. When he has the ability to invest in filming, he will help someone shoot the script himself.
Until the end of August, Xiao Yiyi, who had not been in touch with each other, suddenly called Lu Wenbin and informed him that the album was about to be officially released on September 1st. Hearing this news, Lu Wenbin was naturally very happy.
smiled and said: "Sister Yiyi, congratulations! I wish you a big hit in advance!"
"You, as the creator and producer of the two title songs, really don't care about my album at all?
'Sister Yiyi, this is too serious, right? It shouldn't matter whether it's a man or a woman, right? You know, I'm more withdrawn, and I don't like to join in the fun. I've done my best where I can, and I can't help with anything else!'
"Come on, you guy, even if you don't want to see me, then you can come to the company to meet Shifei! I heard that someone confessed to Shifei at the academy! You two can! You have such a relationship, and you still hide it from me!"
Listening to Xiao Yiyi's ridiculous tone on the phone, Lu Wenbin could only smile bitterly: "Sister Yiyi, it's okay for us to joke in private, but don't take it seriously." My relationship with her is just a simple classmate, not as complicated as you think.
What's more, Sister Yiyi actually knew about the incident between me and my younger sister, and she should have known that I was drinking at that time, and she also paid the price for the nonsense at that time. I'm nothing to be ashamed of, no one knows who I am anyway.
But the school girl is in the entertainment industry, and this kind of thing should not be publicized too much. After all, I already felt guilty about doing something like that. Sister Yiyi doesn't need to, continue to rub salt on the wound, right?"
knows the 'stain' of this life, but I am afraid that Lu Wenbin, who will not be able to wash it off in this life. For the man who just crossed over and became a backstabber, he was actually very helpless. But the facts are there, no matter how much he explains, he can't change the fact that he confessed to being struck by lightning!
