Chapter 138: Mother Lin's Invitation
"Ding Dong ~ Ding Dong ~"
Hearing the doorbell ringing, Lin Shi'er, who was watching TV, glanced at Lin Junxin, who was drawing comics closer to the door, saw that she didn't react, and knew that she should be drawing to the key point, so she got up and opened the door.
Opening the door and looking at the four people standing outside, Lin Shi'er suddenly became nervous, and said with some stumbling: "Ye, Ye Yu, hello uncle and aunt, and Ye Yao, hello." ”
Father Ye nodded and said, "You are Lin Shi'er, right?" Xiao Yu's tablemates? ”
"Well, I'm Lin Shi'er." Lin Shi'er nodded and said, "Uncle and aunt, come in and talk." ”
As he spoke, he stepped out of the way.
Father Ye and Mother Ye nodded, and walked inside, while Ye Yu and Ye Yao followed.
Obviously, because they moved to a new home, the Ye family came to visit their neighbors.
Ye's father and Ye's mother were carrying some gifts, and Ye Yao was holding Xiaoyuan, in her words, that is, there was still some chaos at home, and Xiaoyuan's eyes were not good, what should I do if I bumped into it? Ye Yao didn't worry about it being at home alone, so she insisted on bringing it over.
And Ye Yu - well, he was holding a large cardboard box.
After entering the living room and saying hello, Ye Yu hurriedly went out and came in with a cardboard box.
Putting down the second carton, Ye Yu let out a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Four sets of autographs, a total of 56 copies, fortunately not disgraced." ”
Mother Lin, who was greeting Ye's father and Ye's mother, turned her head and said with a smile: "Xiaoyu has saved a lot of money for our family this time." ”
The elders chatted, and the juniors naturally nestled together.
"Hello, I'm Lin Junxin, Lin Shi'er's sister." Little Lori greeted Ye Yao with a smile.
"Hello, I'm Ye Yao." Ye Yao smiled, and at the same time remembered something, pointed to Xiao Yuan in his arms, and said, "It's Xiao Yuan." ”
"Oh, is Madoka sick?" Little Lori glanced at Madoka's eyes and couldn't help asking.
"Well, Madoka has conjunctivitis in her eyes." Ye Yu said.
The topic opened, and the three girls got together and chatted for a while......
Well, it's Madoka who played around for a while.
After that, Little Lori turned the topic to comics again.
"Xin'er, how are you doing with your comics?" Ye Yu opened his mouth and asked about the progress of the little Lori.
"More than half of the first volume is complete." Speaking of which, little Lori seemed very excited.
"So fast?" Ye Yu was a little surprised, this little Lori's basic skills are really good!
You know, I visited Lin's house on the 27th of last month, signed a contract with Little Lori, and drew a character for her, today is the 19th, and it has only been more than 20 days.
Twenty days sounds like a long time, but don't forget, little Lori usually has to go to school!
Moreover, in the previous life, although the first volume of steel refining only had four chapters, it was about 180 pages, and each sentence was almost 40 pages, after all, it was a monthly magazine.
If it's only about 20 pages a month like a weekly, then what's the point?
Of course, the first volume drawn by Lori can't be exactly about 180 pages, there will always be more or less.
The most important thing is that little Lori is alone!
"Xin'er, in addition to eating, sleeping, and attending classes, the rest of the time is dedicated to comics." Lin Shi'er said, her tone seemed distressed and emotional.
Ye Yu was stunned for a moment, and said with some distress: "Xin'er, you don't have to work so hard. ”
"I think it's okay!"
Hearing Xiao Lori's nonchalant answer, looking at her equally indifferent expression, Ye Yu sighed secretly in his heart, knowing that no matter how he persuaded him, it would definitely be useless.
Years of hard work and dreams, seeing that the hope of success is ahead, how can little Lori endure it?
I'm afraid, for her, she would love to break one minute into two minutes, right?
Let's recruit a few more assistants for her in the future.
In Ye Yu's impression, in the island country in his previous life, it seems that except for Yoshihiro Fujian, a guy with quirks, other well-known cartoonists all have assistants, otherwise it would be too tiring for one person to do all the work.
Besides, the company also needs to recruit some cartoonists, with so many comics in his head, how can little Lori finish drawing?
Throw some of the almost ones to them.
"Show me it."
Hearing Ye Yu's request, Xiao Lori hurried back to the room, and came out again with a bunch of drawings that had been sorted out.
Ye Yu took it and began to look through it.
Looking at it, Ye Yu was very amazed - this little Lori, except for not being able to write a good story, is really good in other aspects.
Although the drawn manga is different from the steel in the previous life in many places in terms of details, the excitement is not bad at all, and the essence of the whole story and the characters are perfectly expressed.
Of course, among them, some of the suggestions that Ye Yu added in the script also helped.
"The heart is so powerful, the painting is so good! If this is published, it will definitely be popular all over the country. Ye Yu gave a thumbs up to Little Lori without hesitation.
"Really?" Little Lori was very excited, looking at that look, it seemed that she was already fantasizing about the scene at that time.
Ye Yu smiled: "Of course, when did the big brother lie to you?" Xin'er, you can draw much better than your big brother. ”
"Hee-hee...... That's big brother, you have a good story. ”
"When Xin'er finishes painting, big brother will help you publish."
……
"Xiao Yu, are you free next Saturday?" Lin Mu asked.
"Are you free, Aunt Chen, do you have something to do with me?"
"That's right." Mother Lin explained, "We have a small gathering on poetry next Saturday, do you want to come to Xiaoyu?" ”
"If you want to participate, you will trouble Aunt Chen then." Ye Yu thanked.
The poetry gathering that Lin's mother Chen Yanlin will attend is definitely not a small gathering, maybe the number of people is small, but the specifications are definitely high, and the people present are definitely not miscellaneous characters.
Although Ye Yu is quite famous in the cultural circle, because he has risen too fast, to be honest, the only well-known writer he knows is Lin Mu, and he is a little worried that there are no people he knows in this circle, so Lin Mu gave him such an opportunity.
Going to a poetry party, getting to know some people in the cultural circle, and accumulating some connections, in Ye Yu's opinion, is still very good.
"Huh...... I don't know how to drive, I usually pick up and drop off Hongzheng, I heard that Xiaoyu will drive, and it will trouble you then. ”
"No trouble, no trouble." Ye Yu hurriedly said.
……
Soon, Saturday arrived.
In the past six days, Yuye Company has been full of good news, and the sales volume posted on the official website every day has blinded many people's eyes.
Naturally, in the past few days, there have also been many anti-counterfeiting guards, claiming that Yuye Company must be fooling netizens with fake data to hype up.
If you want to say that your sales on the day of your debut were so hot, it is understandable, it can be regarded as a big explosion of Ye Yu and Zizhan's popularity, but your sales in the next few days are still in short supply?
I'll you, are you kidding me?
The media touted you, but you actually took it seriously, and really dared to come up with this kind of fake data?
It's unforgivable, are you insulting our intelligence?!
As a result, many anti-counterfeiting guards took action, vowing to debunk the fiery illusion deliberately created by Yuye Company.
And then, in the end, the results all showed that it was true!
The market is really in short supply!
The exaggerated touting of the media in order to make a gimmick that day actually came true!
It wasn't until the fifth day that the overall market situation became better.
Although it is also selling extremely well, it will not be difficult to find a book again, and you can still buy the rest by running a few more bookstores.
That said, it's still a terrifying number of daily sales.
The whole publishing world was shaken.
They know how important a best-selling author is to a publishing house.
Yes, some large publishing houses have some first-class writers who have signed contracts, but the problem is - they have been sharpening their swords for years!
And what about Ye Yu and Zizhan who signed a contract with Yuye Company?
Two people combined, at least a few swords a year, right?
Moreover, all the swords that are sharpened are peerless!
Two people are equivalent to at least a dozen first-class writers, this girl's ...... Which publishing house can have more than a dozen first-class writers who have signed contracts?
Especially that Ye Yu, who is young enough, has a lot of topics, and can write and sing songs!
More than a cut above the vast majority of first-class authors!
And with Ye Yu and Zizhan as the leaders, after Yuye Company became famous, it would naturally have other writers contribute to it, and when the time came, its development would ......
What to do?
Digging people?
Don't be funny, who to dig?
Digging leaves?
Yuye Company is his!
Dig Zizhan?
Do you know who Zizhan really is? Do you have his contact details?
Join forces to strike?
It's too late.
It might have been useful to do this when it was first founded, but now the dealers have already seen how popular Yuye's published books are.
Let them not enter the book of the Yuye Company?
Will the merchants who don't see the rabbit and don't scatter the eagle listen to you?
Threats and lures?
It may be useful, but it's just a lose-lose way.
In this information age, if it is not far superior to the opponent, how can it be so easy to block?
For a moment, there was a pessimistic atmosphere in the publishing world, and it seemed that there was a behemoth that seemed to be slowly waking up.
……
On Saturday, after picking up Mother Lin, Ye Yu drove to the meeting place.
And to Ye Yu's surprise, Lin Shi'er actually went too.
In Ye Yu's impression, Lin Shier is proficient in poetry and has indeed published some works, but there doesn't seem to be a particularly good and famous work, after all, she is only 18 years old.
But...... Chen Yanlin brought a family member to the party, and I am afraid that no one will say anything.
"Ye Yu, your ghost blows the lamp and writes very well, do you still know how to rob tombs?" In the car, Lin Shi'er asked with some curiosity.
"Of course you can't understand! Tomb robbers are subject to arrest and imprisonment. In the ghost blowing lamp, some things are found in the materials, and some things are made up by myself. ”
"It's so similar, it's real!" Lin Shi'er praised it.
"Thank you." Ye Yu replied with a smile.
Soon, the venue arrived.
It is a tea house with a large area.
After entering the venue, Mother Lin said a few words to Ye Yu and Lin Shi'er, and then excused herself that she was going to the bathroom and left directly.
Well, create some opportunities for Shi'er to be alone together, and as for introducing Ye Yu to others, you can introduce it later.
Since they didn't know anyone, Mother Lin left temporarily, so Ye Yu and Lin Shi'er found a corner and sat down.
As the two of them were talking, a clear voice sounded: "Crazy Ye Yu? ”
Ye Yu looked up and saw a man about 30 years old standing in front of him, looking at him condescendingly.
