Chapter 299: It's not a success yet

At noon the next day, Xu Ang took the initiative to call his father.

I called from the phone in my bedroom.

Tang Mingyao listened to some of it when he was reading, this guy's rare warmth actually asked his father to pay attention to his body, don't be too tired.

It turns out that when a person treats another person with a sense of acceptance, the other person may not understand your inner thoughts, but they can definitely feel the change in your attitude. This time, the phone call lasted for five minutes, which was a rare breakthrough for Xu Ang.

After the fight, he leaned on the back of the chair and said, "The old man is not bad, and he offered to send me money." ”

"Did he remember to send you tuition?"

"No, I thought he really forgot, so he gave me 1,000 yuan, saying that it was the living expenses for this semester."

"At least it's an improvement."

Tang Mingyao shook his head, turned his head and called home himself.

When his emotions were vented, he was more considerate of his parents and more aware of their difficulties, so he became more tolerant and proactive.

…………

"We Are All a Wounded Generation" has sparked a recent wave of public opinion.

Because of this book, the parent-child relationship was widely mentioned in China for the first time, and experts and professors under various banners jumped out to analyze and explain related issues on the Internet, TV platforms, and print media, and write articles to gain popularity.

What followed was a skyrocketing sales of Tang Mingyao's book.

The first printing of 150,000 copies by Jinghua University Press is a prediction made by Yu Dong based on Tang Mingyao's previous sales results.

Because it was a transformational work, his confidence was not very high, so he reduced the number of first prints.

Yu Dong estimated that it would take two months for the 150,000 books to be sold, and then according to the sales situation, it would be appropriate to reprint.

Who knew that this wave of hot spots came out, and the sales speed of new books far exceeded his expectations, and in less than a month, they sold seven, seven, eight, eight.

Ten days after its launch, 40,000 copies were sold!

Fifteen days after its launch, it sold more than 100,000 copies!

Twenty days after it was listed, the remaining 50,000 copies were about to be unbearable.

Yu Dong contacted the printing house on the eighth day to urgently reprint, but based on the current sales situation, it is a little difficult to continue it in time. Because a large number of books are sent to all parts of the country by freight, it takes a long time, and some places cannot even arrive in time for a week.

This kept Yu Dong busy.

The direct consequence of the skyrocketing sales for Tang Mingyao is that reporters began to appear in the school again.

Before that, because there was no news that could drive the topic, he had enjoyed a clean time for more than a year. This time, the topic was together, and the reporter heard the wind and came to the door.

Some tabloid reporters directly inquired about people at school, went downstairs to the dormitory to block people, and asked random questions, always wanting to dig up big news.

It was only those formal media that came through the school that he found the time to take it seriously.

On this day, the counselor suddenly came to the dormitory and asked him to go to the office building of the department, saying that there was an interview, and in addition, he specifically told him that it was an important media and that he should take it seriously.

Tang Mingyao followed him to the office building, and after being introduced, he learned that it was a reporter from a major national newspaper, and it was the kind with an official color.

"Hello, classmate Tang, this is my press card, I hope it doesn't bother you."

"Hello Reporter Yuan!"

"This interview is because your latest work "We Are All an Injured Generation" has caused some phenomena and reflections in society, what is your original intention in creating this book?"

"The original intention? I just wanted to write a book. Tang Mingyao smiled.

"Isn't there any other deeper reason?"

Tang Mingyao thought for a while and said: "If I have to say it, it is probably that when I was growing up, I saw many peers around me who were hurt by their parents, but because of their age, they lacked the sense of self-salvation, so I wanted to write down their stories and show them to those whose family relationships are not so healthy, if I can inspire one or two people, it will be my success." ”

"I didn't expect that there would be these deep-seated reasons behind a book...... Speaking of success, as a college student, your achievements now far exceed those of your peers, not only did you enter the university of your dreams ahead of schedule, but you also published a number of best-selling serials with millions of readers, presumably you are not short of money to spend now, do you think you have succeeded? ”

"Not really." Tang Mingyao said, "I think the so-called success should depend on what you are pursuing. For example, if you pursue wealth, you can earn money that you can't spend in your lifetime is success; If the pursuit is fame, then the fame is passed on to the world and the name is left in history...... At this stage, I am still far from my success. ”

"What are you after?"

"Achieve high achievements in the field of study, realize personal value, and then live a stable and happy life."

"Isn't the best-selling work the realization of your personal value?"

"Belong! But what I wanted to express most when I was writing this work was actually not shown. Even this way of writing is written in this way, although it has been recognized by the market, but it is still far from an ideal work. ”

Reporter Yuan asked: "What is your ideal work, can you describe it?" ”

Tang Mingyao longed: "It should be a professional psychological work, but it is not entirely academic - it should be simple and suitable for all ages, just like Bai Juyi's poems, which have both professional poetry and no reading threshold." If there is such a work in the future, I think it will be considered a success. ”

"I've interviewed a lot of young people, and most of them are very energetic and driven, but you're not like them, you're mature, you have a clear goal in your heart, you know what you're after, and maybe that's why you're better than everyone else. Well, let's move on to the next topic......"

More than half an hour later, the interview ended.

Coming out of the office, the counselor followed Tang Mingyao and couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.

Because just now he was standing next to him and watched the whole interview. In addition to him, there are two other heads of the department.

This is to make sure that during the interview, the conversation between the two sides does not go off the rails and say something bad for the school, and they have to communicate with the reporter afterwards to make sure that nothing goes wrong.

However, these fears proved to be unfounded.

Tang Mingyao knew what to say and what not to say, and the reporter would not embarrass Jinghua University for no reason, so they only listened to it for a while and did nothing.

After going back, Tang Mingyao pondered what he had just said again.

In fact, before the interview, he only had a vague idea of his life goal, and felt that he should go that way. When asked just now, he temporarily sorted out this idea and made it clear.

Once reborn, what is the goal of struggle? That's it!
