When I picked up the phone, a long-lost voice came from the other end of the phone.
"We haven't contacted you for a long time. How are you doing lately?"
Hearing Lou Yeping's greetings, Yang Bei felt warm in his heart.
"Chairman Lou, it's been a good time these days. I've always been very good here, but it's the Poetry Association. Nothing special happened recently, right?"
Because Yang Bei wrote "Chang'e" on behalf of the Hedong Province Poetry Association at the exchange meeting of the poetry associations of the seven northern provinces, so he has already been counted as a member of the Hedong Province Poetry Association.
"Don't worry, there's nothing wrong with the Poetry Association. Several new members have joined recently, and they all say they came under your influence."
Listening to Lou Yeping's happy voice, Yang Bei also smiled.
"I didn't expect that I still have such influence?" Yang Bei joked.
"Several of them say they are your fans, and they are all students in the Department of Ancient Chinese Literature at a famous university in our province. They recently learned that you are writing the novel "Alive", and they are becoming more and more interested in literature...
Speaking of writing novels, has your writing been going well recently?"
Yang Bei knew that Lou Yeping had always cared about him. It was not like a relationship between friends, but more like an elder caring for a younger generation. Yang Bei had always respected this senior.
"Don't worry, everything is going smoothly. If nothing happens, it won't take too long and it should be published."
Lou Yeping on the other side of the phone was very happy when he heard the news.
Ever since Lou Yeping learned on the Internet that Yang Bei was going to start writing a novel, he had been looking forward to its publication. After all, he also knew Yang Bei's literary strength. If he wrote a novel, it would be very exciting.
The two of them briefly talked about some common matters and then hung up the phone.
After "You Look So Beautiful When You Smile" quickly became popular on the Internet, and now Lou Yeping cheers him on, Yang Bei has become more motivated and motivated.
The novel is now almost two-thirds complete. As long as we work harder, the publication of the novel will be just around the corner.
Thinking of this, Yang Bei got up and returned to his office and began to devote himself to writing. He also wanted to finish the novel as soon as possible. Before everyone's expectations have lowered, striking while the iron is hot is the best time.
So Yang Bei returned to his former self, spending time in his office almost every day, never leaving the front door or taking a second step. He would often forget to eat, and Gao Mang would knock on the door with his lunch box as soon as it was time to eat.
Just the door.
Every day during lunch, Yang Bei was willing to stop writing.
Although he did not continue coding, Yang Bei would ask Gao Mang one by one about the problems he encountered in the writing process while eating. Although Gao Mang is not a writer, Yang Bei has always believed in Gao Mang's vision.
, she seems to have a pair of eyes that can see through everyone, including every character in the play and book.
So every time Yang Bei encounters difficulties in unclear character positioning during the writing process, he is always the first to think of Gao Mang for help.
Both of them are very busy because of "Alive".
However, Huangtian paid off. Fortunately, this time did not last long, and Yang Bei finished writing the entire book.
As soon as the novel was finished, Yang Bei notified Gao Mang.
Before he could hang up the phone, Gao Mang had already trotted excitedly to Yang Bei's office.
"Finished writing?!"
Gao Mang's tone was full of surprise, which made Yang Bei laugh.
"Well, everything is done."
"Great, does that mean that we can already communicate with the publisher about book publishing and sales?!"
"Of course, I'm about to contact the person in charge of the publishing house."
Yang Bei nodded, confirming what Gao Mang meant.
After hearing this, Gao Mang was extremely happy.
Gao Mang was extremely excited when he thought that the novel could be published and sold. Let’s not talk about this novel. Thinking about other things, she actually made a contribution. What Gao Mang is most excited about is that he wants to see Yang Bei’s first book on sale. If
This book has received a very good response from the market, which means that Yang Bei has one foot in the literary circle.
This is not something that any artist can do. There are many artists who write books such as autobiographies, but in fact the sales of those books are just supported by fans, and they cannot be called real artists.
writer.
But Yang Bei is different this time. If "Alive" can be welcomed by everyone, it means that Yang Bei is a writer with real talent and knowledge.
…
After communication between Yang Bei and the publishing house, both parties decided not to be too anxious yet.
This book has just been written, and it is Yang Bei's first time writing a book. It is impossible to print it on a large scale, so I decided to print 50,000 copies first, and then decide whether to print more copies based on sales volume after they are put into the market.
Yang Bei agreed with the publisher's opinion.
Both the publishing house and the factory moved very quickly. Within a few days, the physical book of "Alive" was already available for sale in major online and offline bookstores.
Some people are keen viewers of the movie "Alive". When they heard that "Alive" was published as a book, they rushed to buy it, while others complained that the book was cumbersome and not as enjoyable as the movie...
"Nowadays, the times are constantly progressing. Everyone is surrounded by digital and information-based things. Who would still hold a book and keep reading? Moreover, the important plot has been told in the movie, but I feel that this book does not have it at all.
necessary."
"No matter how the times progress, reading can improve a person's connotation. If he doesn't read, his thoughts will be empty!"
"I had already seen the movie when it was first released. Later I heard that "To Live" was going to be a novel version. I have watched the movie several times in order to wait for this day, and now it is finally published!"
"As soon as I heard that "Alive" was published, I immediately went to the bookstore downstairs and bought two copies, one for reading and the other for collection. Anyway, I had a hunch that this book would definitely be very good.
"
"..."
The comments from netizens are mixed, but all in all they still expected a little more, and that’s just a little more.
After "Alive" was published and released, Gao Mang was like a man possessed, focusing almost all his attention on the novel's sales and online reviews every day.
Seeing that the sales were not as good as Gao Mang imagined, Gao Mang was very frustrated. Originally, she had high hopes for this book, not only for the book to sell well, but also for Yang Bei.
Use this book as a stepping stone into the literary world...
But now it seems that it may be a little difficult.
