Originally, the people in this place are very nostalgic for their hometown, and they will definitely spend it in their hometown during the Spring Festival. It was only after Li Jingkun was persuaded in the end that he agreed to spend the Spring Festival outside this year.

Therefore, this year, I have to go to relatives in advance, pay New Year's greetings and give red envelopes in advance.

After everything was done, the family took a car to Yangzhou to play for two or three days, and then flew to the magic capital, preparing to stay in the magic capital until about 28 of the lunar calendar, and finally went to Kyoto for the New Year.

However, in addition to playing, Li Jingkun also did some serious things, one of which was to go to the "Shoots" magazine to meet with the editorial department.

The most important thing is, of course, to meet his "boss" Hu Yunying.

Hu Yunying is in her early Chinese New Year's Eve, wearing eyes, and looks similar to what Li Jingkun has seen in some news. The two of them have known each other online for more than a year, and it is the first time they have seen each other in person.

Hu Yunying was very happy to see him, in addition to taking him to greet the teacher in the editorial department, she also took him to meet with the editor-in-chief, Mr. Zhao.

In the end, he said that he wanted to invite him to dinner, but Li Jingkun said no, he had to invite him.

"It's okay, you've been making more money than I have lately." Hu Yunying said with a smile.

Then I learned that he was traveling with his family, so he said that he could go out to eat together.

Li Jingkun said: "Don't you, right? When the two of us 'netizens' met, it was embarrassing for our families to watch from the sidelines. ”

Hu Yunying laughed, because before the meal arrived, the two went to find a Western restaurant and ordered coffee and dessert to eat.

During this period, the two also talked a lot, about writing, about "Young Shoots", about Han Han and Guo Siwei.

The two are hot right now; Guo Siwei founded the youth magazine "The Smallest Talk", which sold very well, and also produced many juvenile writers, and his popularity was no worse than Li Jingkun.

Han Han's blog has an amazing number of visitors, and countless people wait for him to update his essays every day - it's hard to imagine that so many people will like to read essays now, and after more than ten years, everyone has no patience to watch micro-movies, and just wants to watch short videos for more than ten seconds.

Both of them belong to the people who came out of "Young Shoots", and they have to call Hu Yunying "boss", so it is natural to talk about them.

However, I also talked about Li Jingkun's future later.

Hu Yunying said: "Guangdong Province is a very developed region, and Yangzhou and Pengcheng are both developing very well. However, if you want to go the cultural route, it is best to come to the magic capital or Kyoto. ”

For Li Jingkun in the last world, the most familiar ones must be Yangzhou and Pengcheng, where he is well aware of the reform and development of many places. If you are taking the business route and just want to make money, of course, you can stay in Guangdong Province.

However, as Hu Yunying said, if you really want to take the cultural route, it may indeed be better to come to the north. At least there are some schools here that they are temporarily lacking in the south.

Li Jingkun said: "I'm thinking about it, maybe I will choose a university here in Kyoto during the college entrance examination." ”

In the second semester of the second year of high school, that is, in March 2007, the second novel "Qingming Fantasy River" was published in a single book, with a first printing of 120,000 copies. After deducting personal income tax, the income is more than 200,000 yuan.

The post-80s juvenile writer Li Tangwang is becoming more and more famous, and he has more and more fans of junior and senior high school students, and it will gradually become a unique memory for many people when they were young.

"I can't see that you're stubborn." Hu Yunying sent a message to him because he had rejected the magazine's proposal to delay publication.

The response to "Qingming Phantom River" was particularly good, and the magazine hoped to continue to serialize it and publish it when the last tens of thousands of words remained.

But Li Jingkun didn't want to fool his readers, and he said that he would publish it at this time around March (another reason was that he could only get royalties for publishing).

And he also came up with the manuscript of the third novel, and he was not afraid that he would not be able to convince the magazine - if not, it would be difficult to continue to cooperate. It's not hard for him to find another publisher now.

Therefore, the first volume of "Qingming Fantasy River Map" was published in March, and "Heartless Mage" began to be serialized in April. Then discuss the listing time of the single book again.

The magazine hopes to publish it in a year, but Li Jingkun wants to publish it in October this year. In the end, they took a step back and decided to publish it in December.

"A matter of principle. Isn't it ruining my character to delay publishing until there are 20,000 or 30,000 words left, and letting my readers spend the money of another book to read the last tens of thousands of words? ”

After the start of the second semester, the first thing was the recording of two songs.

There is no recording studio in Liuchuan City, but there is one in Jiedong City, and it was introduced by the photographer who helped them record the video before. Because I often work with them.

Most people were a little disappointed when they got there, because the studio wasn't very big and there were only two sound engineers.

"We also have a band to work with, see if you need it."

Both of the recording engineers were men in their mid-30s, and one of them, a little shorter, was receiving them. Introduce them to equipment and fees, etc.

In fact, they usually don't record music for bands or real singers, but more for some companies, government departments or schools and other institutions to record some dance music or background music for festivals.

After all, they belong to third- and fourth-tier cities, and there are too few people who play music and art.

In fact, there are only a few first-tier cities in China that can have so many people who play music, and then they can afford to raise so many recording studios.

The recording studio doesn't look big, and the decoration is not very tall, but the equipment is okay, and the works they have recorded themselves are okay.

In fact, in Li Jingkun's opinion, it is enough. After all, they're not talking about how professional an album to make. So basically he's acceptable. So they gave them the songs and sheet music and other materials to see if there were any problems.

There is nothing wrong with the cover songs, the main one is "Ten Thousand Sorrows".

The two recording engineers were quite surprised, but they didn't expect that these high school students had already made the accompaniment and sang it themselves.

"So we just have to perfect it in the style you want?"

"Almost, it's about making our songs. If the effect is good, you can continue to cooperate in the future. ”

If you have a professional recording engineer and equipment, it is not difficult to record, but it is mainly a matter of whether you sing well or not.

However, Li Jingkun knew what he wanted the effect to be, and they had sung this song many times, so the recording went quite smoothly later.

It took them a few days to record both songs. And then it's just a matter of a minute to pull in the footage.

After the song was successfully recorded, the people in the Aurora band were very excited, as if they saw that they were going to be on fire.

Now it's popular to post songs on the site, so they quickly uploaded the song to two or three music sites in anticipation of being heard.
