Chapter 239: The Poetry Brick Thrower
Lin Li went back to his room to sleep after watching the latest issue of "I Am a Creator".
The next day, Lin Li returned to school, had two classes in the afternoon, and was putting on a mask and preparing to go home, when suddenly a classmate said: "Everyone read Lou Haojie's Weibo, he is going to publish a collection of poems in the next two days."
The students of the Chinese Department are already more concerned about the publication of some book manuscripts, and although Lou Haojie's poetry is not big, after all, he has made such a fuss with Lin Li, but he has a lot of popularity.
So as soon as Lou Haojie posted on Weibo, some classmates saw it.
"Damn, this grandson is embarrassed to publish a poetry collection?"
"This publishing house is blind, right?"
"Or is this Chaohua Publishing House the same publishing house that published a collection of crooked poems before, right?"
"It's this publishing house, isn't it that the crooked poetry collection hasn't sold much, and this one dares to publish a poetry collection."
"Old crooked poems are not good, and they don't go into the stream, Lou Haojie is a serious poet and has two good poems."
"Not a bad fart, Lin Li was not as good as the shit he compared them to last time?"
"This publishing house doesn't matter what the quality is, as long as it has popularity, the popularity of Lao Crooked and Lou Haojie's popularity this time are obviously incomparable."
"That's right, Lao Crooked's time was just a matter of the poetry world, at most, Wen Qing knew a little, and this time Lin Li's beating of Lou Haojie made a lot of social news."
"This guy has also printed 50,000 copies, he is really not afraid of death!"
"It's better to kill them!"
…………
Lin Li listened to the discussion of his classmates, went to see Lou Haojie's Weibo, and saw that he posted a promotional Weibo two hours ago, saying that his poetry collection would be released in two days, and I hope everyone will support him.
Originally, Lou Haojie only had seven or eight hundred thousand Weibo fans, but now it has doubled, but the new group of people doesn't seem to be his fans, just pay attention to when he posts on Weibo to scold him.
Under Lou Haojie's Weibo, most of the comments are mockery.
"Wow, Lou Da Poet is going to release a collection of poems, I will definitely support it, buy it and see what the legendary shit is."
"I'm going to take a look at it in the bookstore, and I won't buy it, I'll be angry with you."
"Haha, you guys are so bad, I like it so much!"
"Tsk, 50,000 copies, I really dare to print it, it's all the heat that Lin Li brings to you, I really think how good my poems are?"
"The most proud poem has been compared to Lin Li, and it is incomplete, if I am, I will definitely not dare to come out and be embarrassed."
"Don't, it must be published, so that next time Lin Li will have more contrasting good poems come out, you have to throw this brick."
"Everyone doesn't know that Lou Haojie worked as a brick thrower when he was young."
"Hahaha, the poetry world depends on how well they throw these bricks."
…………
Seeing that Lou Haojie was mostly ridiculed on Weibo, Lin Li was also quite gratified, in this society, there is no shortage of some people with correct views, what is lacking is objective reports from the media.
Lou Haojie and his Chaohua Publishing House obviously put out the poetry collection so quickly in order to gain popularity, Lin Li looked at the time, and it happened to be on the shelves with the poetry collection printed by Hua Li, and the print run was the same.
It seems that Chaohua Publishing House deliberately wanted to hype up the topic to drive sales.
There's no way to adjust the time at Kyoto Press, so even if you know that they're trying to take advantage of their popularity, there's no way to do it.
Even for Kyoto Publishing House, this is not necessarily a bad thing, the poetry world has not seen such a confrontation for a long time, with the help of this shareholder trend, Hua Li's poetry collection sales may be even higher.
Lou Haojie's group of people in the Poetry Association are like dog skin plasters, and they have been rubbing the popularity of the forest, but the reputation of these people on the Internet has completely collapsed now.
Although there are also many people who scold Lin Li, there are more people who support Lin Li, and there are so many people who beat people to support them, which makes it even more obvious that Lou Haojie and others are sad.
Thinking of Lou Haojie, Lin Li still had a mystery in his heart, that is, why he chose to forgive himself last week.
Lin Li has been thinking about this problem these days, but he can't figure out the reason.
This night, the "Dialogue" program was broadcast.
Lin Li watched it on TV, and sure enough, there was no picture or question about Lou Haojie for a second, the whole show was still quite inspirational, and there were some questioning sessions, but they were all normal, such as how Hua Li created, the source of inspiration, and whether the condition of cerebral palsy would affect creation.
After watching this show, Lin Li was in a much better mood, although this show is not a very famous show, but because Lin Li made a fuss this time, at least this episode of the show is still very interesting, and there will be no fewer people who should watch it.
Lin Li thought that Hua Li's story would surely inspire many people, and her poetry collection on the shelves tomorrow would also be a big hit.
After watching the show, Lin Li posted a Weibo to promote Hua Li's poetry collection to be printed tomorrow.
The comments under Weibo also increased for a while.
"I just finished watching the "Dialogue" program, and I thought that the boss would update Weibo, and I really ran into it, haha."
"The show talked about Hua Li's growth, which was really touching."
"It can be seen in the show that although Hua Li doesn't speak very clearly, she thinks clearly and looks like a poet."
"I saw the show by chance, and I was moved by Hua Li's story, so I came to thank Lin Li, thank you for saving her!"
"I'll buy a book of poems tomorrow."
"I'll buy it too, at least two!"
"I've seen gorgeous poems, it's really good, it's worth buying purely for poetry!"
…………
On Sunday, Hua Li and Lou Haojie's poetry collections were put on the shelves at the same time, and many bookstores across the country even put up banners.
Lou Haojie actively campaigned for publicity, while Hua Li declined all interviews and signing activities.
However, even so, early on Monday morning, the sales released by major bookstores, and the gorgeous poetry collections were among the best non-category books, while Lou Haojie's poetry collections were difficult to find.
According to preliminary estimates, Hua Li's poetry collection sold 10,000 copies in one day on Sunday, and Lou Haojie sold 2,000 copies at most, a big gap.
The students of Yan University chatted a little gloating during class, and Lin Li couldn't help but go to Lou Haojie's Weibo to read the comments.
"I only sold so much on the first day, and 50,000 copies have to be sold until the Year of the Monkey."
"Everyone is so real, no one really buys it."
"It's so miserable, Lou Da Poet was tired and tired yesterday, and he only sold so much as a result, look at Huali, sitting at home sells more than you."
"If you want me to say that Lin Li's appeal is still great, he has tens of millions of fans on Weibo, and if you publicize it, Lou Da poet doesn't have that publicity when he breaks his leg."
"Lou Da Poet, you have to rub off on the popularity of others, and publish it with others, it was not bad to sell more than 1,000 poetry collections a day, but you have to publish it with others, okay, this is embarrassing."
"To be fair, Lou Haojie's poems used to look pretty good, but unfortunately now there are two people, Lin Li and Hua Li, and after reading their poems, I look at Lou Haojie's poems, which is indeed a bit tasteless."
"Why is it tasteless, if you want me to say that it smells very big, like the old lady's footwrap."
…………
Lou Haojie was knocked out of a tooth by Lin Li before, and then he forgave Lin Li with his anger, he was already depressed, he was full of expectations for the signing event yesterday, but except for the people arranged by the organizer, no one came at all, which made him even more angry, and now seeing netizens so cynical, he can't stand it anymore.
Lou Haojie took out his mobile phone, found out the video he secretly recorded in the "Dialogue" program team, and posted it on the Internet in an anonymous form.
Didn't your poetry collection sell well?
Didn't you compare me to me?
I'll let everyone see your true face, just like you, can you still write good poems?
If you say it's not a joint hype, who believes it?
As long as netizens believe that Hua Li's poems were not written by herself, and Hua Li's stories are all made up, then the wind comments will definitely fall to their side, and when the poetry collection is a big seller, it will be themselves.
Thinking of this, Lou Haojie smiled proudly.
