Chapter 636: Between Fun and Gratitude
Liuyun was wearing a casual suit and seemed to be in good spirits.
Compared with the first time he saw Liuyun, Mu Chun found that Liuyun was a little fatter than before, and it should be said that the nutrient absorption was better.
This is probably the heart and body fat, since the temporary abstinence from creation, Liuyun's career seems to have made a small leap.
Mu Chun was also happy for Liuyun from the bottom of his heart.
It's just that I learned from Chu Sisi that Liuyun is not as satisfied with his current situation as others think, which is probably the reason why other people are seriously already winners in life, but in the eyes of the parties themselves, they are still on the street.
What is the position of oneself in one's heart determines whether a person will get happiness from the current achievement, and no one can replace one's own understanding of oneself.
In short, it's really good if you think it's good!
"I didn't expect so many readers, I counted it just now, there are about two hundred people, you see, they are all crowded together." Mu Chun tiptoed and looked at the venue through the open glass door.
Liuyun said modestly and calmly: "There are more than two hundred people, Doctor Mu Chun has miscounted." β
"Teacher Liuyun, there are 215 people who came to participate in the event today, and this reader is not miscalculated."
The clerk who was just indifferent suddenly changed his attitude, like a crisp autumn breeze changing into a spring dress.
Liuyun and Mu Chun are one sentence to me, it seems that the two are not only familiar, but also have a very good relationship.
Yang Xing on the side obviously felt that he was left out and ignored.
I thought, "Well, isn't it just an author, maybe it's the kind of writing a travelogue." β
If I had the opportunity to meet publishers or something, or if I could find someone to publish a blog collection for me, wouldn't I be an author!
In the end, it's a matter of circles.
Dr. Mu Chun doesn't seem to be too literate, and he almost quarreled with the clerk just now...... Now it seems that the doctor's circle is really more advanced, and the relationship with the author is so good......
The more Yang Xing thought about it, the more complicated his mood became, and the more he thought about it, the more boring he felt.
He didn't become interested in what kind of book the author wrote, but first despised it in his heart, and then thought that if he was a friend of Dr. Mu Chun, maybe he could introduce me to him.
It's a pity that this author is not a woman, if it were a female author...... It should be easier.
Just look for a few obvious inaccuracies in the book, such as, "The description here is a bit too much, and the sentence should be in the active voice." β
After pointing out a few "problems", the girls were not convinced and wanted to prove that they were excellent, so they slowly entered Yang Xing's experimental plan.
Generally speaking, it is very effective to hit a girl's self-confidence through a few simple words.
These women will gradually develop feelings for Yang Xing when they are not confident.
In general, these methods are useful.
Yang Xing felt that he was kind, because some of the boys he knew in his community were even more excessive, and they would say to the girls, "Are your legs too thick?" β
"I have so much experience in love."
"So you're not a girl."
With a disdainful gaze, the girl's competitive spirit is stimulated, and the mood of wanting to be affirmed by the other party slowly grows.
Later, these girls fell into the whirlpool of feelings without exception and could not extricate themselves.
In the courses that Yang Xing has studied, these methods will be learned as soon as they are learned.
What to do licking a dog? As long as you belittle the girls who have high self-esteem, and then maintain your appreciation for them, sometimes appreciative and sometimes despised, sometimes indifferent and sometimes enthusiastic, as long as the object is suitable, nine times out of ten you will be caught.
In the words of those who have come from the community, this is called "Girls who look good often have an inferiority complex, they crave affirmation, and if you just belittle them, they will revolve around you." β
Yang Xing didn't believe in this seemingly simple method at first, but experiments have proved that it is indeed useful.
Even if licking the dog can tie with him, licking the dog will cost money and effort, and Yang Xing not only doesn't need to spend money, but also asks the other party to give him money.
This is the true fulfillment of the saying, "Knowledge is power." As long as you find the right way, there is no girl who can't have legs. β
"Hey, do you want to go in?"
The clerk's urging interrupted Yang Xing's thinking, but after thinking about the girl's affairs for a while, Yang Xing's sense of loss just now disappeared, and now he became confident again, and sat down in the two seats in the first row with Mu Chun.
As soon as the two walked into the venue, there was a chattering voice among the readers, and Yang Xing guessed that everyone was complaining that the author suddenly left the venue and threw the readers to do personal things.
If he had never done so, he would have offended the readers who paid for your book, which is not the work of some wise man.
Fans are sometimes more important than girlfriends, as the so-called girlfriends are like clothes, and the owners are siblings.
Girlfriends are always new, and the owner of the money is best to stay in the long box.
After the author returned to the seat next to the host and took a seat, Lu Xin said: "Just now, the author told me that he was going to pick up a very important reader, does anyone want to know who this reader is?" β
Lu Xin's voice has not fallen, and the readers have already agreed.
The author was slightly shy, he held the microphone, his eyes slowly moved from the small table next to him to Mu Chun, glanced at Mu Chun and said: "I still remember last year, when I was still creating mine on the Internet. β
"Huh? Does Liuyun also write? Someone in the audience whispered again.
"I don't know, I think I've searched for the science fiction he wrote."
"I heard that I also wrote online articles."
"Doctor Mu Chun, are you familiar with the author?" Yang Xing couldn't help but ask quietly.
"Ah, I've seen it a few times." Mu Chun replied softly.
How many times have you seen it and become a very important reader in the mouth of the host?
Could it be that Dr. Mu gave this author a lot of money?
Thinking of this, Yang Xing took a closer look at the author who was obviously not very good at talking with a microphone on the stage.
Glancing at the propaganda poster next to the author again.
It turns out that this author's name is Liuyun.
The name doesn't sound famous, although it looks like I've seen it somewhere.
"Maybe it's a line of resentment, but last fall, I was in a very difficult state of writing, and I don't know if people will find it funny if they continue to talk about it."
Speaking of this, Liuyun blushed and paused again.
Lu Xin hurriedly helped, "No, no, as readers, we very much want to hear the authors talk about their mental journey when they created their works, which will make us understand the works better." β
"Is that so? I think it was a time to look back on, I ......"
Liuyun took a deep breath, he didn't expect that half a year later, it would still not be so easy to talk about that time again.
"Hey, don't say it if you don't want to." Mu Chun was talking to himself offstage.
"Anyway, I didn't think I was fit to write." Liuyun said what was in his heart in one breath.
There was silence in the audience, followed by another voice, "It's too difficult." β
"It turns out that Liuyun also has such a time."
"Fortunately, you persevered, if you had given up writing in the first place, we wouldn't have seen such a warm book today."
Lu Xin said to Liuyun with a smile.
"Yes, it's a book to write relaxed, I never thought I would write such a book, after all, if it's a dream......
Liuyun wanted to speak and stopped.
"By the way, dreams, tell us about your dreams, what will be the dreams of a writer?"
Lu Xin followed Liuyun's words and raised new questions.
"Actually, I don't have any dreams." Liuyun said embarrassedly, and scratched his hair like a big boy after saying that.
"Huh? Don't have a dream? For example, if you can write a work that satisfies you, or if you can write a story that you have always wanted to write, or like Nabokov, every book has the same words written on the title pageβdedicated to Vera. To show his love for his wife Vera?
Writers always write because of dreams, and of course, making money is also closely related to dreams. β
"Well, after all, dreams can't be completely separated from life itself." Liuyun continued Lu Xin's words.
"Tell us about this work, "Meeting You in Istanbul", which I thought was love when I first read it."
"Actually, it's not a book." After Liuyun finished speaking, he lowered his head.
Lu Xin continued to ask, "When soliciting questions from readers on the Internet, everyone generally wants to ask, is this 'you' a specific person? β
"I should say yes." Liuyun answered the host's question without hesitation.
"Oh? So it's still a travelogue about love? Because everyone reads a lot of warm sentences, for example, there is a paragraph on page 71 that reads - Early in the morning, I was quietly enjoying breakfast on the balcony of the landlord's house, and a new day began.
Looking down from the balcony on the second floor, there were not too many pedestrians on the road at 7 o'clock, which made me feel a special sense of calmness, as if time was slowing down, as if I had enough time to meet better people, better things, more interesting aspects of the world. β
"Ah, so, better people, are they concrete people? Some readers said that it should be the one on the title page. β
Lu Xin said as she flipped the book in her hand to the title page, and then she read: "To a strange person, you have the most interesting soul." β
"Is this one of the readers you'd like to thank today?"
Lu Xin winked mischievously at the readers in the audience.
Liuyun nodded, "Yes, this is it, a very interesting soul. β
"If I'm not mistaken, it's one of the two you just brought in."
As soon as the host finished speaking, the eyes of the readers in the audience all looked at the seats of Yang Xing and Mu Chun in the first row.
Although his eyes were all behind him, Yang Xing still felt a sense of grandeur and excitement.
This sense of substitution is too strong, although he knows that the reader Liuyun refers to is not him, because he has never read "Meeting You in Istanbul" at all, not to mention that Yang Xing generally does not do such a thing as buying physical books.
Occasionally, a few books can be photographed, a bookstore order a cup of coffee, and a photo is enough, but physical books take up space and are expensive.
But it's a great feeling of being noticed.
"Which one is it? There were two of them just now.,The author won't sell us off.,The soul that can be considered interesting by the author must be very interesting people.γ β
"Well, he's a doctor, yes, a doctor."
"Doctor?"
The host didn't expect that the interesting soul that Liuyun said would be a doctor.
This......
Lu Xin, who has always had a fast brain, suddenly didn't know how to deal with Liuyun's words.
The first thing that came to mind when the word doctor came to mind was illness.
Did Liuyun have any illness before?
There's no need to play the sympathy card on such an occasion, it's just a small signing session and interview, just talk about the work, why mention that you are sick, for the sake of sales, are young authors already fighting so hard now?
That seems a bit excessive.
Because he didn't know how to continue the topic, Lu Xin was a little unhappy in his heart, and he also had some opinions about Liuyun.
"Ah, this doctor is not a surgeon, nor is he an internist."
When Lu Xin was nervous, Liuyun became more and more relaxed, his eyes shone with confidence, and the whole person seemed much more relaxed than at the beginning of the signing meeting.
"Not a surgeon, not an internist?" The moderator was a little confused.
The readers on the stage didn't understand either.
"Is it an obstetrician and gynecologist?"
Some readers deliberately laughed, causing a lot of laughter at the scene.
Liuyun also laughed, looking extremely relaxed, he asked with a smile, "Who is so talented, speaking of which, the male obstetrician and gynecologist feels very handsome, but unfortunately it's not obstetrics and gynecology, otherwise everyone guess again?" β
"Orthopedics?" The voice came out of nowhere, and was soon drowned out by a louder burst of laughter.
"This is also ...... But no, my hands are fine, but speaking of which, I may have really wanted to see bruises or something, but I always felt that my fingers didn't obey me. β
As soon as Liuyun said this, some readers in the audience immediately thought, "So it's an injury?" β
"It could also be cosmetic surgery."
"Hahahahaha." Laughter followed.
Liuyun rubbed his eyes, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's really not a cosmetic surgery, if there is such a doctor in the cosmetic surgery, maybe I might really spend some money on my face." β
"No, no, we think you're pretty handsome." Lu Xin was relieved to see that the scene was completely active, and now that he thinks about it, he was probably too nervous just now, but what kind of department is it?
"I see."
A girl with a sweet voice suddenly popped up, "I guess it might be...... Probably ......"
The girl sitting in the back row wore a pair of big eyes, slightly chubby, and looked like a hellokitty.
Everyone's eyes turned to the girl, and the girl was embarrassed to speak.
