howling breath

Tang Yushu, who was originally "vigorous", was a little dazed by two flashes in succession. At this moment, he was lying on the ground doing push-ups for no apparent reason.

Lin Lang held back his laughter, opened the door a little and looked out - Shun'er had already run away and disappeared.

"What are you doing?" Lin Lang asked him after closing the door.

"Nuannuan tank..." Tang Yushu worked hard: "Turn off the engine one by one...I'm afraid it won't start again in the future."

The two of them came and went back and forth and made a few jokes, but they both tacitly agreed not to continue the lingering action.

Although autumn is here, the temperature in Chengdu has not changed significantly.

So Tang Yushu, who noticed that Lin Lang was wearing a long-sleeved white shirt, was puzzled: "Aren't you hot?"

Lin Lang raised his neck, revealing the deep and light color patches on it, and told Tang Yushu with a helpless expression - "Don't wear a long collar... Is there any other way?"

The perpetrator knew he was wrong, and his black face was flushed with shame.

After tidying up for a while, the two left the dormitory building together—Tang Yushu went to find Chen Ni to go back to the company together, and Lin Lang went to the editorial office on the top floor of the bishop.The main building and the north gate of the school are in the same direction. On the way with Tang Yushu, Lin Lang sent a message to Shun'er: Are you looking for me?

Shun'er's communication software is always online all the time, as if she has been squatting on the other end of the phone and waiting: I want to invite the young master to eat meat!

Then I added another one: I didn't expect the young master to have meat to eat.Comes with a [sad] emoji.

Lin Lang didn't hide it at all, and replied to him: Thanks to you, it didn't work out.

Shun'er replied with a long "ah", and then said: You two... oh my god!

Lin Lang was a little guilty, and asked him cautiously: What's the matter...

Lin Lang never told Shun'er about his relationship with Tang Yushu.

One is that I feel a little unworthy.Second, I was afraid that Tang Yushu would hate him for speaking out.

Shun'er came back after a while and said: It's so beautiful!You two are perfect for each other.I thought about it for a long time and didn't know how else to describe my mood!so cute!

Looking at Shun'er's blessing, Lin Lang felt relieved for some reason.

Then he said another sentence: But I accidentally saw his tight gluteus maximus...Young master, I should be damned, but I still decided to select him as [The Best Ass in Film University].

Lin Lang was amused by Shun'er, and laughed a few times.

It's a very strange mood - being "coveted" by Shun'er for his lover, Lin Lang can't feel any sourness.

Sometimes Lin Lang even imagined darkly: If a cute and excellent person like Shun Er pursues Tang Yushu, maybe Tang Yushu will be shaken, right?A sunny and interesting person can bring Tang Yushu much more energy than his "iceberg type".

If there was a day when Shun'er wanted to give up the position next to Tang Yushu, Lin Lang felt that he would also be willing to step down.Lin Lang even thought about many possibilities in the future: after many years, he would have been replaced long ago, and Tang Yushu, an enthusiastic and affectionate young man, had already been lying beside one person after another; but if one night he called and said he wanted to When seeing him, Lin Lang thought: I am afraid that I will go to Jinyi Night Walk to fulfill his ruthless promise.

——As long as the light is still willing to shine on me, it doesn't matter even if it gets hot...

Thinking was interrupted by Tang Yushu's "chichi" laughter beside him, Lin Lang raised his head, and he was turning his head to look at himself.

Lin Lang was puzzled: "What are you enjoying?"

"Don't you want me?"

"What?"

"Forcibly send me to the school gate."

After Lin Lang listened, he looked around—unknowingly, he followed Tang Yushu's footsteps and accompanied him to the north gate.

After seeing off Tang Yushu, Lin Lang went to work in the editorial department.

After that day, Tang Yushu couldn't be seen for another long time.

Although there is no contact in life.But Tang Yushu's "ghost lingers on" all the time.

Lin Lang clicked on the webpage during his spare time at work, and there were several unread messages accumulated on the Weibo page that he left unclosed last time.Lin Lang clicked on it one by one, it was all Tang Yushu @自己.

This guy always sees something, and just imagines a bunch of things on a whim. When he sees a picture of a dog, he will @自我, "Let's get a dog!"; when he sees a beautiful scenery, he will @自己，“Move to live in the mountains in the future!”; Seeing the picture of wild dogs in the mountains, he @自我，“Let’s move to the mountains and raise a dog in the future!”

Lin Lang read each of them, laughed at each of them, and liked his replies one by one.

This guy is always cranky.

Lin Lang used to think he was crazy, but now he only thinks he is cute—whether his wild thoughts are reasonable or not, he is always full of colorful expectations for life.If NASA announces the discovery of a habitable planet next time, it is estimated that Tang Yushu will also imagine the story of interstellar immigration with himself, and then grow potatoes in the new world.

After swiping Tang Yushu's @, Lin Lang glanced at the homepage of Weibo again. After refreshing, the first message that appeared in the news stream was Zhao Yanyan's new book preview - 30 days of quiet retreat!Rebuild the debut work!Added [-]D short stories!Another beautiful photo!

Show Lin Lang a smile.

The manuscript of the co-authored novel was not received, but the schedule was set and had to be rushed, so the old book was revised again?

Just like this, Wen Wen is still willing to republish a new book for her?

It's really "drought to death from drought, flood to death from waterlogging."

Lin Lang was displeased, so he got up and went to the water dispenser to pour water.Seeing that the senior was also letting go of the mouse and stretching, he said something to the senior: "Is Wen Wen culture very good?"

The senior nodded: "Very powerful. It can be regarded as a giant who has monopolized the book industry!"

"Then... if an author offends them, will he be blocked from rising?"

"Yes." The senior nodded, pondered for a moment, and added to his answer: "To be precise: 'It used to be'."

Lin Lang took a sip of hot water: "How do you say that?"

"Wen Wen used to cover the sky with his hands because the sky was so big. But now that the era of paper media has come to an end, and the era of new media has begun, even if Wen Wen makes layout and adjustments immediately, he may not be able to catch up and reach out to cover the new media." The sky of the media—because no one knows how big this sky will be... So, now is a special period, if you find an outlet and sit firmly on it, Wen Wen will not be able to kill anyone."

"But won't the book market collapse with the passing of the print media era?"

"No, don't worry. Magazines will collapse, but books won't—print magazines are slow to publish, and the content is not effective. Especially information magazines have long been used by public accounts and opinions of various industry attributes. The leaders and others were so impacted that they couldn’t continue to operate. Only fashion magazines and serious literary magazines such as "New Movie" can survive for a while."

"why is that?"

"Let's talk about serious literary magazines first—the age of the audience is relatively high. With the rapid development of new media, within five years...ah, within three years...it may not be possible to completely change the decades-old reading habits of audiences of this age group. However, for example, some youth literature and art magazines have basically begun to make layouts on new media. Besides, fashion magazines—these publications have broken away from the nature of publications and have become a kind of advertising effect 'Advanced' media can be regarded as having some particularities that cannot be replaced by new media; but I think that even so, these fashion media will fall into the dilemma of 'online feeding off-line' in the next ten years, and they will eventually go to ' The day the strong man broke his wrist'..."

"Then why aren't books being replaced like magazines?"

"Books are different from magazines. Books have a strong author's personal attributes, so they have a collection value. In a few years, the spread of books may be greatly reduced, but in the era of new media with a strong sense of emptiness, it will be More attention will be paid to its collection nature-this is the nature that magazines that are too pragmatic are not. Changes in the reading habits of the whole society may lead to a decrease in the overall circulation of books, but the collection attributes of books are magnified After that, the price might get higher and higher.”

"Understood... That is to say, the characteristics of new media are high effectiveness and a strong sense of emptiness, so in this era: magazines, which originally pursue effectiveness, will be thrown away, but books, which have strong personal attributes The category will be magnified collection value."

"That's right." The senior nodded, and summed up his point of view with a simple analogy: "It's like falling in love: if a person likes you just because you are good-looking, then in an era when medical beauty is becoming more and more developed and the attribute of 'good-looking' is gradually , as a lover, you are extremely easy to be replaced. But if a person likes you because of your comprehensive ability - talent, skin, assets, dual quotient, and three views, then as a lover, you have a high probability of being treated affectionately .”

Lin Lang nodded.

I feel that Ye Zi is worthy of being a prospective doctoral student, with a lot of professional knowledge and good at lecturing.

In addition to this emotion, Lin Lang couldn't help but tortured himself again—except that he had praised him as a "skin"...and he only had a little talent, a narrow outlook on the three worlds, and ordinary businessmen, and no assets at all. ...What did Tang Yushu like about such a person?

On Friday, a guest suddenly came to the editorial office - an old professor from the school.

As soon as he came in, he cut straight to the point: "Can you create a comics column on "New Movie"?"

The senior was puzzled: ""New Movie" is a literary magazine with a high-age audience. It seems inappropriate to create a comic column... right?"

"Don't take comics as literature!" The old professor said seriously: "Also—who said that comics are only for people of low age?"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Because of the inevitable blind spot in knowledge, the senior who stepped on two thunders repeatedly apologized to the professor with a smile: "But the current column is indeed very full-if you add a seal...the budget is not enough- —Did you know? "New Movie" can only do 8 more issues."

The old professor sat down awkwardly and sighed because he still couldn't get the matter settled by going out in person.

"When "New Film" was first published, we invited old Mr. Feng to paint! Many domestic masters have also been invited in later issues!" He lamented that the world is out of fashion, and after sighing, he coughed violently.

After coughing, he lit a cigarette.

Lin Lang looked at that Huo Xingzi was terrified, and was too embarrassed to say anything to stop him, so he got up and poured the old professor a glass of warm water for him to drink, and poured half a glass of water for him to use as an ashtray.He also silently moved the file away, staring at Huo Xiaozi closely, for fear of an accident "buried in the sea of ​​fire"...

The senior still smiled apologetically: "You want to develop a comic section...is there anything you want to do?"

"I want to set up a comics major and lead a class of students before I retire!"

"That's daring!"

"Isn't it? Hey...Young man, you have a mind and insight!" After being recognized for his thoughts, the old professor's emotions eased: "You said that our century-old film and television university-any student from the directing department will draw a storyboard Just grab a student from a screenwriting class who can write scripts, grab a student from an art department who can paint mountains and rivers, draw people and ghosts, and grab a student from a design school who can do book binding—so many departments come together How many comic talents can be cultivated for the country if a few teachers come out to form a comic major?!"

"Yeah—so it went well?"

"The proposed application for teaching positions in each college has been passed, the teaching committee has passed, and the principal's office meeting has passed... I was stuck at the last hurdle—the Provincial Department of Education did not give it! It is said: Film and Television University has not passed any comics-related Professional grades. Do you think they are stupid sitting at their desks—with such a strong teacher, do you still worry about not being able to deliver good grades in the future?"

"So you want to create a comics column on "New Movie" and publish some student works—to be used as 'grades' and used when reporting to the Provincial Education Office next time?"

"That's almost what it means—if you can't open a column, can you give me some illustrations? Don't worry... those people don't understand, they don't understand anything—that is to say: so confusing! They can't tell the difference between 'illustration' and 'manga' ’, anyway, it doesn’t look like a traditional meticulous painting, in their eyes it’s called a ‘caricature’!”

"Hey... this..." The senior really couldn't say anything to respond, he could only stumble out some meaningless syllables——Lin Lang looked at the expression on the senior's face that stiffened with laughter, and squeezed it for him. sweat.

The old professor continued to make suggestions: "Isn't the money enough? Let me take it!"

"It's not purely a matter of money—the main thing is: "New Movie" currently has less than 200 monthly subscriptions. This...isn't it a worthy 'result'?"

The old professor became quiet now, and after a long while he said "tsk": "You guys are not good at this class... I think when we did "New Movie", the sales volume was at least [-]! Or is it like this? I Ask my grandson—what kind of e-commerce channel he is engaged in now, and he has some connections, so you put the magazine on it and sell it!"

Lin Lang thought to himself: It seems that the old professor should not know "the huge impact of the new media era on traditional paper media".

Seeing that the two young men in the office were quiet, the old professor was really a little impatient: "This way: I will wrap it up myself - I will give you 8 yuan for one issue of the magazine - 10 issues, right? I will give you... just [-] yuan Come on! Get this done for me! You think about it, think about it later and call me."

After speaking, the old professor threw the cigarette butt into the cup, took a picture of his business card on the table, made a sign of "six", shook it by his ear, and walked away with a brisk foot.

After the old professor left, the senior picked up his business card and added the old professor's WeChat, waiting for the time to pass the friend's application, he turned his head and looked at Lin Lang for a while.

After staring at each other for a while, the senior "whimpered": "Damn... 10! I really want to take it! If I take it down, I can make another 12 issues of "New Movie"!"

"Then take it."

"No." The senior shook his head: "The old man is really obsessed with 'opening a major', and I don't want to disappoint him. A few days ago, we talked about strangers in paper magazines... Although the old man may Don’t know, but we do—so he’s throwing money in the firepit . . . I can’t bear it.”

"Too."

"But this old man is very sassy-I thought he was an old pedant when he came. As a result, he just put down his business card and made a 'callme' gesture to me. Brother underworld."

"I agree." Lin Lang nodded.

"Hahaha!" The senior handed the phone to Lin Lang: "And look at his Moments—"

Lin Lang took it and swiped up and down.

The latest one, the old man posted a bunch of photos of "Inuyasha", with the accompanying text: "The student who is studying in the 11th district went to visit Teacher Takahashi, and I still don't forget to send back the autographed booklet!"

Going forward, even the sharing of daily life is accompanied by screenshot emoticons of Nozaki-kun and Xiaobu.

Lin Lang was startled.

The author says:

The seed of Lin Lang's business line.

Our Lang is not an infatuated Lang who has no ambition and only cares about love.
