Chapter 196 There is another me in my life Liu Jiazhen couldn't help laughing.
Liu Jiazhen said: "When I stayed at home and wrote novels, my parents said the same thing, wondering if I was suffering from depression because I never went out and had no friends."
Mingyin sighed: "It turns out we have all encountered this problem."
Liu Jiazhen: "People who engage in this kind of creative work will encounter this situation more or less."
Mingyin turned to look at Lu Yanhe, smiled and said, "Big star, is it difficult for you to understand us on this matter?"
Lu Yanhe nodded honestly, "I have never had this kind of experience before."
"However, I can still feel this feeling." Lu Yanhe said, "When I was reading "Star Orbit", there was a person in it who was an illustrator. She stayed alone most of the day. She was obviously working every day. She paints, but in the eyes of her family, she has nothing to do at home every day and is very lazy. They don’t understand her working status. They even think that she doesn’t need to live in a big city and can go home. When I read that paragraph, I I was just wondering if Sister Mingyin is in your mood."
Mingyin nodded in surprise and said, "You really read my novel seriously."
"I like it very much." Lu Yanhe said.
"I thought you preferred crime mystery novels."
"I like crime mystery novels, and I also like other well-written novels." Lu Yanhe said, "I like all stories. I liked listening to stories when I was a child. When I grow up, I look for my own stories and find the stories I like. "
The three of them stood at the door chatting for a while. At this time, Xu Xiaoyin came over again.
She also laughed when she saw the three people standing together again.
"Just in time, the three of you are here, so I don't have to ask one by one. Later our publishing house wants to shoot a documentary about this book fair. The original plan was to only record and not interview. The editor-in-chief just made a temporary decision , or do you want to add some interview clips in it, I wonder if you can arrange it? This documentary is only used as a sideshow, and will be released on some media accounts of our Jiangyin Publishing House, and will not be used for other promotion."
Lu Yanhe looked at the two writers, smiled, nodded, and said, "I have no problem."
He is an artist, and of course at this stage he needs exposure, big and small.
Liu Jiazhen and Mingyin hesitated instead.
"I feel very nervous in front of the camera." Mingyin said, "I was very nervous in Lu Yanhe's live broadcast room last time."
Liu Jiazhen also nodded, "Me too."
Xu Xiaoyin obviously knows her two "social fear" authors very well. She smiled and said: "How about we give it a try first. If it doesn't work, we won't let this interview clip appear in the feature film, okay? The main thing is Many of you readers are looking forward to it too.”
Mingyin: "Okay then."
"Yeah." Liu Jiazhen also nodded. - At 09:30, the book fair opens on time.
In the lobby on the first floor, there is information about the activities of various publishing houses, writers, and celebrity guests.
Li Pengfei searched among the crowd and quickly found the information about Jiangyin Publishing House.
"On the fifth floor! Lao Lu has a sharing at ten o'clock." Li Pengfei turned around and said to everyone.
As soon as he finished speaking, a girl beside him said in surprise: "Lu Yanhe is also here today!"
The companion next to her immediately asked in surprise: "Really? Where is he? I want to go see it!"
"On the fifth floor, in half an hour."
"Then let's go to the fifth floor first!"
"Uh-huh."
As the two girls said this, they happily squeezed out of the crowd and went upstairs.
"Oh, that star who scored more than 600 points in the college entrance examination is here today." A mother who brought her child also saw Lu Yanhe's name, and her eyes instantly lit up, "There will be his sharing speech at ten o'clock, let's go , let’s go listen to his speech first. His grades are so good, so listen carefully!”
The child's face instantly wrinkled into a bitter gourd.
"No! I want to see Jiang Shan!"
"Jiangshan's autograph session lasts for two hours, you still have time! Go to Lu Yanhe's place first!" Mom dragged the person away without any explanation.
Conversations like this are still happening at the same time.
……
Li Pengfei blinked in surprise, turned back to Linyu and the others and said, "It seems like Lao Lu doesn't need us to support him at all."
Chen Qin rolled his eyes and said, "I told you a long time ago, he is very popular now and there is no need for us to support him."
Li Pengfei: "Then why don't you increase the popularity of your old classmates?"
"I didn't say no, I just said that you underestimated Lu Yanhe." Chen Qin spread his hands and said.
Linyu: "Let's go up. It looks like there will be a lot of people at Jiangyin Publishing House's booth later. Let's hurry up and grab a better spot, otherwise we may not even see Lu Yanhe."
Li Pengfei: "Let Chen Qin pick you up and sit on Chen Qin's shoulders to watch."
Linyu: "..."
Chen Qin: "..."
Chen Siqi felt funny when she heard Li Pengfei's words, but she was embarrassed to laugh on the spot, so she turned her head and looked to the other side. - The exhibition hall of Jiangyin Publishing House is very large, occupying nearly half of the fifth floor.
There are both book booths and autograph booths.
Of course, the most eye-catching thing is the stage in the middle.
This small stage is backed by a high wall, and a large electronic screen is erected. The electronic screen is playing the schedule of today's activities of Jiangyin Publishing House.
The scene is already running.
At the place responsible for book sales, many people came one after another to browse.
There were also people gathering on the stage.
There are five rows of seats in front of the stage, all with name tags on them. These are the seats for the publisher itself and specially invited media and partners.
When Lu Yanhe was led by Xu Mingyue to the scene, he immediately aroused a burst of cheers and screams.
He didn't do any styling today and was dressed a little more formally, wearing a pair of black trousers and a white shirt, giving him a refreshing and sunny image.
But this scene caused discussion among some media people.
"He didn't wear any makeup today."
"Yes, but he's still handsome. It's good to be young. He's so handsome even without makeup."
"19 years old, it's such a nostalgic age."
"We're almost on our third trimester."
"However, isn't the cooperation between Lu Yanhe and Jiangyin Publishing House a little too close? I was already surprised when I helped two authors from Jiangyin Publishing House sell books, and today they are here at the book fair."
"Nowadays, people are following the path of cultural people, and everyone gets what they need."
"Why do you talk about people being so utilitarian? They can't really love reading?"
"Why do people who love reading come to the live broadcast room to read? Don't they just want others to see them reading?"
……
These discussions reached Lu Yanhe's ears intermittently.
Sitting in the front row, he heard these voices and controlled his expression not to be affected in any way.
As an artist, he found himself hearing voices like this more and more.
Everyone will have their own interpretation of everything he does, and they will firmly believe in their own interpretation.
Cultural person route? Lu Yanhe wanted to make it clear to these people seriously that he had never considered taking this route.
How could a 19-year-old boy take such a route for himself?
But think about it, there is nothing easy to explain.
Mainly explanations are useless.
Chen Ziyan had already told him.
He didn't know it himself.
It’s not like I really don’t understand the entertainment industry.
"Yan He, are you okay?" Mingyin, who was sitting on his right, suddenly asked.
Lu Yanhe came back to his senses, looked at Mingyin and smiled, "Huh?"
"Did you hear the voices of those people behind you talking about you?" Mingyin asked in a low voice.
A look of worry appeared on her face.
Lu Yanhe shook his head and said, "It's okay."
"It seems that your job also has many bad situations that we have not experienced before." Mingyin said with a soft smile, "Do you often hear voices like this in your work environment?"
"I can't say often, occasionally, but it's nothing. I am engaged in a job where I have to face criticism from many people." Lu Yanhe said this, but he was actually comforting himself, "I must persuade myself to accept it. "
Liu Jiazhen heard the two of them whispering, looked over and asked, "What are you talking about?"
Mingyin shook her head, "Nothing."
At this time, the host came onto the stage and reminded everyone that today's book fair activities will begin soon. - "It's about to begin!" Chen Qin looked back at the host who appeared on the stage and said to Linyu who was still browsing the book market. Linyu heard this, pulled Chen Siqi and said, "Let's go over."
Li Pengfei has already helped them occupy the position closest to the stage.
Seeing the three of them coming, Li Pengfei complained: "Where did you go shopping just now? It's so slow."
Linyu said: "We just strolled around the bookstall nearby. Didn't Yan He recommend a few books before? I plan to buy them and take them home to take a look."
"Do you have time to read now? It's very difficult for you to come out today. Are you not preparing for your game?"
"You always have to rest, how can you prepare for the game all the time." Chen Qin said immediately.
Linyu: "Yes, you always need to rest."
Li Pengfei was a little regretful that Xu Zijun had to be a tutor today and could not come to this book fair.
Otherwise, Xu Zijun should like this place very is also a person who loves reading.
Li Pengfei planned to buy some books for her.
Among the writers who came to sign books today, in addition to writers who have just debuted, such as Liu Jiazhen and Ming Yin, there are also several national-level great writers. Xu Zijun prefers to read traditional literary works. Li Pengfei plans to read all the books of these great writers today. Buy a set of signed copies to take back.
"Where is Lu Yanhe?" Chen Qin asked.
Li Pengfei pointed to the right side of the first row, "It's over there."
"Oh, I saw it." Chen Qin sighed with emotion. "As soon as he graduated from the college entrance examination, it felt like he and we had become two different worlds. We are still waiting for the admission notice and curious about our future college life, but Lu Yanhe has already grown up. Entering the adult world."
Linyu smiled calmly and said: "We all have to enter the adult world. He entered it earlier and we entered it later, but we still stay in the same world. We don't want to be separated by the temporary gap. I feel like I’m separated from him by a world.”
"Look at your girlfriend, she's so enlightened and grand. Look at you again." Li Pengfei glanced at Chen Qin with disgust, "Be angry, Chen Qin."
Chen Qin took a deep breath in anger.
Instead, Chen Siqi glanced at Lin Yu thoughtfully.
What Linyu said just now was so calm and mature that they were unlike their peers.
Linyu is the liberal arts top scorer in No. [-] Middle School this year, and is also among the top ten in Yuming City. She was a class monitor before, and her grades have always been very good. She is a star-level student in the school and has attracted much attention.
Chen Siqi had heard about Linyu's calmness and calmness that was beyond her peers, but hearing these words with her own ears today still surprised Chen Siqi.
Compared with her, Chen Siqi felt that her pretense was mature and seemed a lot more "pretentious".
Not real maturity.
At this time, the person standing on the stage began to introduce Lu Yanhe after the president of the publishing house made a relevant introduction.
"Reading is an indispensable part of everyone's life. This summer, we all met a young man named Lu Yanhe. He has many identities. Before June this year, he was still a senior high school student. Before his senior year in high school, he was an idol artist who debuted at the age of 15. After the college entrance examination, he became an actor. He had just completed the filming of a new drama directed by Luo Yuzhong. Under his multiple identities, he was still an actor. Readers who love reading. Many people know that because of his recommendation in his live broadcast room, the two books "Crime Records of 19 Years" and "Star Orbit" by Jiangyin Publishing House have entered the best-selling lists of major books. He once said in the live broadcast room that reading is a kind of rest for him. I am very happy to invite him to the scene today to share with you about reading. Please invite Lu Yanhe."
"Oh——" Li Pengfei suddenly raised his hands and put them in front of his mouth and cheered loudly.
Originally, many people applauded at the scene, but his shout was too loud, even shockingly loud, so many people turned their eyes away from Lu Yanhe who stood up and turned to look at Lu Yanhe.
Lu Yanhe also looked over in surprise.
When he saw it was Li Pengfei and the others, he showed a surprised expression and waved to them.
Li Pengfei also waved back excitedly.
When many eyes met, Chen Qin was so embarrassed that he wanted to dig a hole and get in.
Chen Siqi also feels the same way.
She glanced at Lin Yu and saw that Lin Yu could not hide a hint of embarrassment under her pretended calm appearance. Chen Siqi breathed a sigh of relief. - Lu Yanhe walked onto the stage and took the microphone from the host.
"Hi, good morning everyone, I am Lu Yanhe. I am very happy to meet you here today."
Lu Yanhe smiled and said hello to everyone. Facing hundreds of people in the audience, he later realized he was a little nervous.
"Those guys just now are my high school classmates. I didn't know they would come today. It's a special surprise. Don't sneak away. I'll come back to you later." Lu Yanhe said to Li Pengfei and the others.
The others looked at them again.
Li Pengfei smiled brightly (silly).
Lu Yanhe looked away, "Actually, I was quite frightened when I received this invitation, because I am only 19 years old. If it weren't for my status as an artist, I'm afraid no one would want to listen to me talk about such a serious topic as reading."
Everyone laughed good-naturedly.
Including those in the media.
"However, after thinking about it, it's quite good. Some people will ask me to sing, and some people will ask me to act. There are even people who ask me to teach you how to study and how to do well in exams. It may be difficult for you. I believe that some counseling organizations have even asked me to be their spokesperson." Lu Yanhe said with a smile.
Everyone roared with laughter.
Lu Yanhe waited for two seconds for the laughter to fall, and then continued: "But no one will ask me to talk about reading, which makes me regretful, because reading is a very important part of my life, not because today is Book fair activities, I say this, but because reading has special meaning to me, I have the courage to come here, risking being laughed at by many people and saying, "Why are you standing here?" to share what reading means to me. significance."
Lu Yanhe could see that the expressions on everyone's faces gradually became serious.
"In my senior year of high school, I worked very hard because my foundation was very poor, but if I wanted to get into a good university, I had to go all out and sprint. In this state, I experienced a lot Things that I didn’t even think about had nothing to do with the exam, but related to myself. When I was so sleepy that I couldn’t keep my eyelids open, I asked myself what the meaning of being admitted to a good university was. I was being questioned. When I was ridiculed, I asked myself why I couldn’t give up on myself and be a mediocre person. When I faced many difficulties that I cannot explain in detail now, I asked myself whether I could get a good result through persistence and non-compromise. If not, what should I do? ?”
"This is what I asked myself as a senior high school student. Should other people have similar questions about themselves?"
"But where can we find the answer? Not every question can be answered right away." Lu Yanhe said, "After the college entrance examination, one day, I went to a bookstore with my friends. I actually didn't know what had happened recently. What books were there and what books were worth reading? I just wandered aimlessly in the bookstore and selected a few books based on my own interests. One of them was "Crime Chronicles of 19 Years."
The live broadcast camera suddenly cut to Liujiazhen at this time.
Liu Jiazhen's face appeared on the big screen behind Lu Yanhe.
Liu Jiazhen also saw his face, and he looked surprised.
Lu Yanhe looked back at the big screen and laughed, "Yes, it is the book written by this teacher Liu Jiazhen. Maybe when I talk about it here, it will give everyone an illusion. I want to say that reading this book helped me find The answer to my questions is, no, it’s not that.”
"My heart was filled with too many questions, but at this time, I started to read "Crime Chronicles of 19 Years". I read it in one breath, and then I entered another state completely. To put it simply , I temporarily forgot myself." Lu Yanhe said with a smile, "I seemed to have another perspective. While reading the book "Crime Records of 19 Years", I looked back at myself in the past year between readings. , the boredom, melancholy, incomprehension and other emotions that I had experienced throughout my senior year of high school seemed to have been taken away from me."
"Reading is the key to entering a world that has nothing to do with ourselves. We can generously put aside all worries and enter a new world."
"I'm not trying to say that reading can reduce our worries. In fact, after we enter a new world, maybe it's like landing on the moon. Everyone who lands on the moon from the earth can't help but look back. Look at the appearance of the earth. In every book, I thought I had entered a new world, but I repeatedly saw the shadow of my own life and the past." Lu Yanhe clenched the microphone and said, "When I say this, will you understand? Think I'm contradicting myself? One moment I say it helps me forget myself for a while, the next moment I say it makes me see myself. Believe me, that's the only description I can think of right now that expresses how I really feel. "
Xu Xiaoyin and Liu Cheng both stood at the side of the stage.
They were all focusing on the subsequent work process, but unknowingly, they stopped what they were doing and began to listen to Lu Yanhe's sharing.
When Xu Xiaoyin heard this, she couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that he could share such true feelings."
"Didn't that girl Xu Mingyue write a manuscript for him?"
"It's completely useless." Xu Xiaoyin said, "I've read the manuscript and Lu Yanhe is completely useless."
"The things he said were too personal, and many people present may not be able to understand them."
Xu Xiaoyin said: "But those who have read the book will definitely understand what he is talking about."
Lu Yanhe stood on the stage and continued: "From forgetting myself to seeing myself, reading is like a filter. It filters out the sorrow and suffering that real life brings to me, and leaves behind all the warmth and strength, because it is filtered , so it’s clearer.”
"I still remember the story of the man who silently supported his autistic son from behind in "The Orbit of the Stars" created by Teacher Ming Yin. After the death of his mother, the son learned that the friends around him were all killed by his mother back then. Please, ask them to try to be friends with him. At this moment of knowing, sadness, discomfort, warmth, happiness, reluctance, so many emotions all appeared in an instant. I was touched by the story, and also by these My emotions were touched." Lu Yanhe said, "I am not autistic, and I have never encountered a situation where it is difficult to make friends, nor have I experienced such support and care from my mother. Logically speaking, I have no similar experience of empathy. It wouldn’t have been that touching, but I must honestly admit that I burst into tears at that moment and I couldn’t help but wonder why.”
"I was thinking that it was because I saw myself and another self that might exist. In a certain world, I have autism. I have been silently supported by such a mother for many years. I have such a I put myself into a group of happy friends, so there was another me in my life. So, after coming out of the book, I looked at myself in reality and gained a perspective to re-examine myself."
"When I read adventure stories, I am brave, overcoming obstacles, and wise and courageous."
"When I read fantasy stories, I am the magic wand in my left hand and the magic stone in my right hand."
“When I read mystery stories, I am quick-thinking and incredibly insightful.”
"Every time I read, I can see a new me. Reading does not require similar experiences to empathize. Reading gives us one more experience, so we can gain more feelings and experiences."
"So, when you have nothing to do, go to the bookstore, buy one or two books, find a time only for yourself, and meet the self in the book." Lu Yanhe said, "When you think you are reading someone else's When you read the story, you must not have realized that in your subconscious, that other person is yourself. In another period of your life, the questions and answers about your life will often not seem so important."
"Thank you."
After Lu Yanhe finished sharing, he bowed to everyone.
There was silence for two seconds, and applause began.
Lu Yanhe returned the microphone to the host and stepped down.
Many people were filming him with cellphones and cameras.
When Lu Yanhe passed Li Pengfei, he stopped and looked at them with a smile.
"Why didn't you tell me in advance when you were coming?" Lu Yanhe said.
"You don't need to worry about us. Let me tell you what you are doing in advance." Li Pengfei said, "Lao Lu, what you shared just now confused me. I didn't understand many parts, but I can feel what you are saying. What."
Lu Yanhe smiled and looked at Chen Siqi, who was standing at the back.
Chen Siqi also glanced at him.
"Let's have dinner together at noon." Lu Yanhe said.
"I can't. I have to pick up Xu Zijun. You can eat." Li Pengfei said immediately.
Chen Qin also said: "Linyu and I have something to do later. She has made an appointment with a teacher to prepare for the competition next month."
Lu Yanhe: "You are all so busy, well, we haven't had a meal together for a while."
"Let's make an appointment later." After Li Pengfei said, he suddenly remembered something, "Isn't Chen Siqi still here? You can eat with her."
Chen Siqi subconsciously wanted to say that he also had something to do, but Lu Yanhe immediately nodded, "That's it, then you wait for me a little longer, and it will be over soon."
This ritual activity is not over yet, and Lu Yanhe has no choice but to withdraw now.
Especially when Liu Jiazhen and Ming Yin hold a book signing event, he plans to go to them to ask for autographs.
Lu Yanhe and Chen Siqi nodded, turned around and returned to their seats.
Chen Qin lamented: "Lu Yanhe looks completely different now than he did a year ago."
"Are you envious?" Li Pengfei asked.
"Admiration." Chen Qin shook his head, "Such a radical change must have taken a lot of effort."
"Yes." Li Pengfei rarely quarreled with Chen Qin and nodded in agreement.
Several young people were talking. Suddenly, a young man came over and said with a smile: "Are you Lu Yanhe's classmates? I am a reporter from "Art Newspaper". Can I interview you about Lu Yanhe?" "
Several people shook their heads at the same time.
Linyu said: "Sorry, we don't answer any questions about Lu Yanhe."
She shook her head slightly.
"It's just a few simple little questions. We can find a place to sit and chat, and we can also pay for them."
"Thank you, no." Linyu still firmly refused, "Please don't disturb us."
