"something wrong!"

"Lu Bei is not stupid!"

"He's hiding a bomb!"

The more editor-in-chief Dingsheng thought about it, the more he felt that his idea made sense. He walked back and forth in the room, but no matter what he thought, he couldn't imagine how the theme of Xianxia would become a bomb in the book market, so his eyelids kept twitching.

This feeling made him uneasy.

What did Chu Kuang write this time?

Chapter 114 Top [-]

The editor-in-chief of Dingsheng felt very tormented, and this kind of torment would accompany him through the entire June. He was extremely looking forward to this being a false alarm, because if his worries became reality, it would cause even greater torment——

Lin Yuan's life is business as usual.

He even started to write the second volume of "Zhu Xian". It is not a good habit to open the skylight, which will affect Lin Yuan's income. At least in terms of making money, Lin Yuan is still very diligent.

But money can't be earned all the time.

For example, Tribal Literature recently called him and wanted to invite him to write another short story, but Lin Yuan rejected him, because Lin Yuan only had two short stories left, so he had to save some time, anyway, this book The price of a novel will not drop your hands.

His reasons for refusal were:

No short story inspiration lately.

Yinlan's magazine department also approached him, but he refused with the same reason. The only thing that bothered him was that there was not much difference between the two bids, and he didn't know which platform to choose to maximize his benefits when it was released in the future.

Both sides believed Lin Yuan's nonsense.

Because in the eyes of normal people, it would be strange for a writer to have inspiration every day, not to mention that Chu Kuang’s short stories every time are so classic, and classics also mean that the creative process is difficult. A classic?

Classic novels are not Chinese cabbages.

This is another reason why Lin Yuan rejected the two short story invitations. Genius has a limit. If he directly customizes dozens of classic songs with the system and releases them, the outside world will probably be shocked instead of surprised.

So Lin Yuan was not in a hurry.

He really lacks reputation.

But there is no way to rush.

Xia Fan is still busy with her competition, and the June competition schedule of "Blooming" is still relatively tight, so she has asked for several days off in a row, but the vocal music department is not too difficult, the school does not support students like this He entered the entertainment circle early, but he didn't go to the point of obstructing him.

On this day in mid-June.

Lin Yuan and Jian Jian once again accompanied Xia Fan to the scene of "Blooming Bloom". This is the second time the two have accompanied Xia Fan to compete after the audition. The main reason is that today's competition is more important and determines whether Xia Fan can break through. Into the national top [-].

Xia Fan was a little psychologically shadowed.

She fell outside the top [-] in the previous two competitions, and each time she was a loser. Lin Yuan and Jian Jian encouraged her and hoped that she could break through herself today. Opportunities to be seen in front of state audiences.

It's the same as audition.

The scene was full of people.

The competition for the top [-] places was launched in all major cities at the same time. It was said that there were [-] people, but only five people from Sioux City could finally be selected. Still big.

"I'm going to pee...backstage."

As soon as Lin Yuan and Jian Jian accompanied Xia Fan to the scene, she left in a hurry. Lin Yuan and Jian Jian didn't react last time, but this time they both tacitly agreed that Xia Fan must have gone to the bathroom!

Xia Fan has this characteristic.

Every time she is nervous, she wants to go to the toilet. If she is particularly nervous, she usually has a large size. Son, girls are still more embarrassed, the two of them came to the conclusion purely through observation, and they didn't dare to mention it in front of Xia Fan.

What if you get murdered.

This time it should be the trumpet, right?

The description is only moderately tense.

Moderate tension is still very good for the competition. Although Xia Fan came on stage late, when she came on stage, both Lin Yuan and Jian Jian could tell that her friend was in good condition. Stance.

"Want me to be cold and beautiful, but also hope for me..."

The song Xia Fan chose for the top [-] contest was "Flammable and Explosive". She rushed forward to fight a little faster than Lin Yuan, otherwise she wouldn't have such a good relationship with the two boys.

She sang this song very freely.

After singing the song, there was a burst of warm applause from the audience. After a brief discussion, the four judges also gave Xia Fan the place to advance to the top [-] in Qinzhou, and the applause became even more enthusiastic.

"She's going to be a star."

Jian Jian suddenly felt a little emotional.

As a student of the acting department, Jian Jian's dream is also rooted in this entertainment circle, so seeing Xia Fan getting better and better, he also feels a little ready to move, but compared to singing, the cycle of becoming famous in acting is longer.

Lin Yuan nodded.

Xia Fan became one of the top [-] contestants in Qinzhou. It is estimated that the media in Sioux City will report a few words, because Xia Fan will probably appear on TV next time, and it can be regarded as glory for Sioux City.

"Lin Yuan."

Jian Jian suddenly looked at Lin Yuan, with a serious expression on his face: "How far Xia Fan can go is ultimately up to her. She can't rely on you for the rest of her life. You can just help her when necessary."

"I try my best."

Lin Yuan opened his mouth and replied.

Jian Jian wanted to say something more, but after thinking about it, he gave up. In his heart, he definitely hoped that Lin Yuan could help Xia Fan all the time, but he didn't want Lin Yuan to delay his career because of this, so he could only hem and haw: " actually, I……"

"I know."

"Know what?"

"Anyway, I know."

Lin Yuan showed a natural smile.

Jian Jian rolled his eyes: "Actually, I feel that neither you nor Xia Fan's personalities are very suitable for the entertainment industry. You can be like a fish in water probably because you are behind the scenes. Xia Fan may go to the front of the stage in the future. This is the only one I have. worried."

"I know you're worried."

"Aren't you worried?"

Lin Yuan didn't speak. At this time, Xia Fan had stepped down. Several reporters quickly gathered around to interview. Lin Yuan and Jian Jian celebrated with Xia Fan after the reporters finished their interviews. How about it?"

"I'm going to the bathroom."

Xia Fan ran away without a trace.

Lin Yuan and Jian Jian could only look at each other.

For the next period of time, Xia Fan did not have any competitions, but she practiced harder every day, because there were still competitions such as [-] to [-], [-] to [-], etc. Although the schedule was not so tight, the level of competition But more and more nervous.

Equally tense is the composition department.

Because as the time left in June is getting less and less, there is not much time left for everyone to prepare for the school year assessment. The importance of this school year assessment is far beyond the past, so everyone has put out all their strengths. Dare to have the slightest relaxation.

Lin Yuan decided to hand in with everyone.

Anyway, "The First Dream" has been recorded, and he doesn't need to polish the work any more. According to the teacher, he just needs to submit the work before the deadline at the end of the month, and the school will arrange for professionals to review it in July.

On the other hand, there was movement from the Yinlan Library.

Yang Feng sent a message to Lin Yuan, saying that the initial printing of "Zhu Xian" was 200 million copies, which was several times higher than Lin Yuan's first work, which also made Lin Yuan look forward to the sales volume of this novel !

Chapter 115

"What did you write?"

"Let me listen to it."

"Why don't you listen to me?"

"I won't show my ugliness."

Regarding the composition department’s works for this academic year, it seems that everyone is hiding them very carefully, guarding each other carefully, with the attitude that my song is amazing. Few people release their songs in advance, but the time is delayed until the end of the month. Everyone still submitted their work.

Lin Yuan also handed in the song.

The mentality of many students in the Composition Department is understandable. Everyone who chooses this major has a dream of being a song daddy, and Lin Yuan is probably the person who knows the works of these students best, because he participated in the arrangement and production of 70.00% of the students in the class.

In all fairness.

Lin Yuan felt that the works of some of his classmates were quite good. The music environment in Qinzhou could easily produce great composers. Maybe there would be one or two industry leaders in the class in the future.

anyway.

Lin Yuan is still very confident in "First Dream". As one of the most influential inspirational songs in China, the excellence of this song has been proven countless times, but some people may not be clear about it. It is not a local work of the Chinese dynasty, but a cover of the popular single of Neon's top singer Miyuki Nakajima by fan pseudo-qi.

The title of the song is "Riding on the Back of a Silver Dragon"

No wonder there is a saying in Tianchao that Miyuki Nakajima has supported most of the Chinese music scene. Many Hong Kong and Taiwan songs that everyone liked when they were young only realized after they grew up that these songs were covers of Neon's works.

Also at the end of this month.

The publishing department of Yinlan Bookstore is counting the reservations of the new book "Zhu Xian" by major booksellers one by one. Following the report of the subordinates, Shi Yun, the female director of the publishing department, has an uneasy expression at this time:

"[-] volumes from Huaxin Bookstore."

"[-] volumes in Longxiang Bookstore."

"Thirty thousand volumes from Bafang Bookstore."

"[-] volumes from Elegant Publishing House."

"[-] volumes in the Peak Bookstore."

"Time Bookstore has [-] volumes."

The statistics are still going on, but Shi Yun's expression is getting uglier.

The company's editorial department is full of confidence in the new book "Zhu Xian".

The editor-in-chief personally issued an order, so this book has reached 100 million copies in its first printing, and it seems that the sales of this book will not be bad.

But the market clearly doesn't think so.

Yinlan Library has printed a full one million copies of "Zhu Xian".

But when Shi Yun looked at the statistical results, the total order volume of booksellers of all sizes in Qinzhou was only about 28 volumes.

Among them, some booksellers decided based on the performance of Chu Kuang's last book.

"Is that too little?"

The subordinate on Shi Yun's left frowned: "The scale of our publicity is very large this time. It is reasonable to say that the orders will not be so small, but now the orders are too low. It seems that these booksellers are like many publishers in the industry. I think "Zhu Xian" will hit the market."

Chu Kuang's new book is Xian Xia.

When this news was first revealed, there were various discussions in the industry, and few people were optimistic about the subject of Xianxia.

Many people think that Chu Kuang's new book will hit the street.

Yinlan Shuku's willingness to publish may be due to Chu Kuang's insistence.

Even if this book doesn't hit the market, the sales volume is definitely far inferior to Chu Kuang's previous "Net King".

Someone even made a special statistical survey on the Internet, and the target of the survey was the readers of "Net King".

The investigators set up three options and asked them whether they would support Chu Kuang's new Xianxia book.

The result was six to three to two.

60.00% chose not to support it, 30.00% chose to support it, and 20.00% chose to wait and see.

This result is not optimistic for Chu Kuang's new book.

Now it seems that the major booksellers have the same idea, and they are not very optimistic about Chu Kuang's new book, so the order quantity is very conservative.

For Shi Yun, it was a very dangerous signal!

Of the millions of books, only 28 copies were sold, so the remaining 72 copies should not be thrown into your hands, right?

She decided to talk to the editor-in-chief.

The editor-in-chief, Lu Bei, was sitting in his office surfing the Internet. When he saw Shi Yun coming over, he asked with a smile, "How about the order quantity?"

"The total order is 28 copies." Shi Yun's expression was a little sad.

Lu Bei froze for a moment, did he sell so much?
