Chapter 61: Purpose
It's clear ... This is not the act of the publishing house.
Red Maple Literature will definitely not be so shabby to engage in these activities, and it will not engage in such a remote booth.
"You... What are you doing here? Song Lingyun hesitated for a moment and stepped forward to ask.
"Oh, we are fans of the novel "Star Sea" .... Take advantage of this comic con opportunity to come over and help Xinghai, the teacher of "Ningyun", promote it at the comic con. ”
There are three people in this small booth, all of them are girls, and they are all cosplayed into poster character images in the sea of stars, looking at the quality of the cos clothes, they should be handmade.
They said with a smile as they handed Song Lingyun a promotional poster.
And Xia Yan also saw it next to the novel publicity booth of "Xinghai" at this time.....
The promotional booth of "Unheard of Flower Name".
The two novels have only been online for a week, and Red Maple Literature hasn't had time to make peripherals yet, and the cos clothes worn by these fans are all handmade by themselves.
In front of the booth, two cute girls in white dresses also handed out photocopied posters of "Unheard of Flower Names" to the passing crowd.
Xia Yan looked at Song Lingyun, who was a little silent, he was actually.... I can feel this feeling a little bit.
After all... He is the same, and his heart is indeed touched.
"Hey, Song Lingyun, Xia Yan..... Isn't this a promotional booth for the novels you two have written? ”
Tang Yin looked back after saying hello to a group of friends at the comic exhibition....
Zhu Qing, the heroine of Xinghai, and Lin Yi, the heroine who has never heard of the name of the flower......
The design of the anime posters of these two characters was still put forward by Tang Yin, and it was clear at a glance who the few people in these two booths cos.
But immediately, she secretly exclaimed that it was not good after she finished speaking.
Because, she was too loud.
When the three girls in the Xinghai booth and the two girls in the unheard flower name booth heard this, their eyes looked at Tang Yin, and they all flashed a trace of suspicion....
What is the promotional booth of the novel written by the two of you?
Whether it's Xinghai or unheard of flower names, aren't their authors all identities undisclosed?
Your words, it makes you... It seems that this cos Ellie's beautiful girl and cos Garrosg's teenager are the author of the novels of Xinghai and unheard of flower names.... Ningyun is the same as Yuanqing.
"Oh..... This should be the personal behavior of me and Song Lingyun's book fans, I didn't expect it yet....." Xia Yan said and felt wrong.
Because of the two cos Lin Yi's sisters, the eyes of those who looked at him became more and more wrong.
"You... What are you talking about? ..... Could it be that..."One of the girls hesitated, looked at Xia Yan and asked.
In front of the "Sea of Stars" booth, the girls of the three cos heroines "Zhuqing" also looked at Song Lingyun with strange eyes.
Xia Yan glanced at Song Lingyun, who was a little flustered next to him.
couldn't care about so much, Xia Yan held Song Lingyun and Tang Yin's hands with his left and right hands.
"Wait a minute, you two, what did you mean by what you just said...."
Behind him, there were the anxious questions of the girls.
"Let's go, let's go..."
Xia Yan ignored it, and as he spoke, he pulled the two of them away from the booth for a long distance, and then let go and looked back at the two.
Whether it was Song Lingyun or Tang Yin, at this time, they were all moving the wrists that were held by Xia Yan before, and they looked at him with magical eyes.
"I really didn't expect you to be so bold on weekdays... I thought you were pretty honest. actually held the girl's hand without saying a word. Tang Yin said.
"Am I not in a hurry...... Now the popularity of unheard of flower celebrities is not high, in case it is exposed that Yuan Qing is a male author at the comic exhibition site, maybe many of my female book fans can't accept it directly, and decisively abandon the pit! And.... Song Lingyun's identity cannot be exposed. Xia Yan looked at Song Lingyun.
"Otherwise.... Who knows if this matter will spread among the fan base of book friends, in case it spreads a little more widely, and her family knows about it...."
"Okay, okay, just kidding, know you didn't mean it. Otherwise, I would have been angry...."Tang Yin said with a smile after seeing Xia Yan's expression.
Song Lingyun too, nodded lightly at Xia Yan after hearing the words, and didn't say anything, but obviously wasn't angry.
Moreover, a sentence was casually exposed before, and those five people should not be so sure of the true identities of her and Xia Yan.
After all, if someone came to Song Lingyun on the street and told him what kind of well-known novel writer had a secret identity behind the scenes, Song Lingyun would only think that there was something wrong with this person.
It's just that I think so... There's still a little bit of uneasiness in my heart. But it's useless to think about this kind of thing.
"But..... I really didn't expect that one day, without any publicity organization, fans would spontaneously come to the comic con site to help me promote it...."Song Lingyun's thoughts moved to another place. The hand that pinched the staff of water was a little hard.
Her face was slightly red, and her heart was not at peace.
"This.... That's the joy of writing novels. My work is liked and recognized. Even if it's just one person...," Tang Yin said.
"This is also the reason why many fiction writers in the Dragon Kingdom are engaged in this industry, even if they are not famous and can't make money, they can persist for several years, even more than ten years."
"Maybe a person lives for a lifetime, and there will not be a person around him who will recognize him, but if that person is a fiction author, there will always be someone who is willing to support his work."
"As long as there is one such fan still exists, many authors, they are unwilling to give up this path...."
Whether it is Xia Yan or Song Lingyun, they all have all kinds of touches in their hearts when they hear the words.
"But you two.... Don't be satisfied just because you meet a few fans at a comic con like this. Tang Yin said with a smile.
"Do you know why I'm bringing you two to this comic con today? In addition to bringing you all to play... There is another purpose. ”
Tang Yin's hand raised and pointed forward.
Xia Yan and Song Lingyun looked at it, and dozens of meters away in that direction, there was a long queue.
At the front of the line was a good-looking teenager sitting in a chair with stacked novels beside him.
His age is similar to that of Xia Yan and Song Lingyun.
Behind him, there was a hung red banner.
The banner reads, "Dragon Kingdom Genius High School Student Light Novel Writer "Kangning", "Weird Clouds" Volume 4 Single Book Nan Province Signing Meeting. 》
"This guy..... It's Corning..... The potential light novel newcomers tapped by the dragon kingdom giant-level book club "Qingze Library" in recent years are slightly older than the two of you, seventeen years old.... But he has created three light novels, two of which have sold in a single book in 17 provinces in the whole country, and the average volume sales have exceeded one million copies.... Although he can't be called the top light novelist in the Dragon Country, at least in the whole Dragon Country, among the potential light novel authors under the age of twenty... He's definitely one of the top guys. ”
Xia Yan and Song Lingyun both looked at him, as well as the long queue of hundreds of people lined up in front of his signing table.
"Remember what I told you about the "New Gods Ascension" contest? Seventeen provinces, a total of fifty-one seed places, fifty-one novels..... He will definitely participate in the selection on behalf of the Magic Capital region.... And his works, judging by his current popularity, the number of fans provides support. There is a high probability that they will enter the top five in the selection and enter the finals. Tang Yin said.
"You two are in the Southern Province region, and you are indeed potential genius new fiction writers. But the magic capital, the imperial capital region.... It is there that the top talents in the Dragon Country light novel industry gather. ”
"You two, who can really be selected for one of the three seeding spots this year..... Well.... That Corning is one of your opponents in the "New God Ascension" event at that time. Tang Yin patted the shoulders of each of them with two hands.
Tang Yin didn't want the two of them to limit their eyes to the southern province..... Although she is the in-service editor of Red Maple Literature, her professional ethics do not allow her to say directly to the two of them, "You two are actually talented enough, it is a waste to stay in Southern Province, it is better to go to the magic capital or the imperial capital to break through." ”
But in her heart, standing as a friend, she hopes that the two of them will do the same.
Bring two people to see the world....
Fans of his own novels, I met three or five people at this comic con scene, but Corning.... But it can easily gather a signing team of 100 people.
Although this situation is a coincidence, it is enough to stimulate the two of them.
"How? Doesn't it feel like a lot of pressure all of a sudden? Even if he is at the top of the southern province and has qualified for the "New God Ascendant", he will have to face such an opponent next. Tang Yin looked at Song Lingyun jokingly.
"Nothing..... I'm on him... Not interested. Song Lingyun looked at Xia Yan.
Xia Yan looked at Kangning's signing team..... I thought about it and said.
"I don't have anything to stress about."
Or rather..... It should be him who is going to feel the pressure.... and my other possible opponents. ”
"After all.... They will meet me as an opponent in the "New God Ascension" selection at the beginning of next spring. ”
Xia Yan said a word and pretended to be two.
First, express confidence in yourself.
Second, he made it clear that he was confident that he would be one of the three seeding places in the Southern Province.
"Where do you get your faith? Your work is now the penultimate in the "Red Maple" journal! Hearing this, Tang Yin said with a smile.
"I haven't heard of the fame grades continue to languish like this, just by virtue of the novel results of "Youth Journey", in my opinion, your seed quota is not very stable. After all, when the time comes to select the seed places, the judges of the five major book societies in Southern Province will definitely use you as a short-lived author, and the fire of the youth journey is lucky, and you accidentally seize the market outlet to attack you."
"Confidence.... Of course, it comes from the recognition of his own work. Xia Yan looked at Song Lingyun and Tang Yin.
He wouldn't have said that a few days ago.
But the night before yesterday .... He chased all the animated episodes in Yuan Qing's memory overnight that he had never heard of.
I finally understand why this work can have such popularity in the parallel world.
also understands how kind Yuan Qing's friend who recommended her to watch this work is.
This work is indeed very healing.
He is now very confident in his heart, of course....
"It's the penultimate pick... But a month later .... The results that may not have heard of the name of the flower will be beyond your imagination. Xia Yan said with a smile.
When Song Lingyun heard this, his body was shocked.
The sense of inner crisis rises rapidly.
She has never taken this work lightly because she has not heard of the name and now has poor grades.
Because she can meet Xia Yan twice a week, she can feel that Xia Yan has always had inexplicable tenacity and confidence in this work.
And Tang Yin had a curious expression.....
"You kid, what is the development behind this work? The results were beyond my imagination. Won't it be because the results of the work are too poor, and Cheng will be cut in half by the book club a month later? That's more than I could have imagined. ”
"Forget it... If I ask you, I guess you won't say it either. Tang Yin shook her head.
"If I don't hear about the name of the flower by then, the results will be the same as always, and even because the grades are too bad, I will be cut in half... Don't blame me for laughing at you, treat this incident as your lifelong black history! ”
....
