The two of them chatted about their progress while eating.
"At present, Song Linxin and Yan Liang have given me the manuscript." Lu Yanhe said, "We may need to ask a professional editor to help us review the manuscript, otherwise we may not be able to spot many typos and incorrect sentences."
"Ask a professional editor to help." Chen Siqi said, "Don't you know the editors of Jiangyin Publishing House? See if you can ask them to help."
"Yeah." Lu Yanhe nodded.
Chen Siqi said: "I have also received three replies here, and they are willing to provide us with manuscripts. They are all Internet celebrity creative bloggers with many fans, but basically no other replies have been received. There is nothing we can do about it. We have not yet There was no sample book for everyone to refer to, and many people thought we were just liars.”
"Most of the content in the first issue requires the help of friends I know to get enough content." Lu Yanhe was a little dumbfounded.
"Our current lineup of creators is already very attractive. Compared with those creators who can bring more readers to pay attention to our book, we can pay more attention to articles that touch people." Chen Siqi said, "Next time I will follow you When I meet Xin Zixing, I’m going to tell her about the essay collection on .”
Lu Yanhe nodded.
"The essay solicitation itself is also a kind of publicity to a certain extent." Chen Siqi said, "It is not only an internal solicitation for , but it can also be submitted to relevant platforms."
"That's pretty good then."
"Yes." Chen Siqi nodded, "Although the goal Xin Zixing gave us is 5 subscriptions, I still hope to get more. Since we have to do it, we must do our best to do it well and make it the most amazing Mook direction to do it.”
"What is your target number of subscriptions?" Lu Yanhe asked curiously.
"10, 20? The more, the better." Chen Siqi said seriously, "As long as we really make people willing to read it, there will definitely be more and more subscribers. We used to read a magazine for two or three years at a time. It’s all there.”
"It sounds like a goal that will take a long time to complete." Lu Yanhe nodded, "However, I don't think it's impossible to complete. Am I inflated?"
"Because we all believe that if we create good content and have good publicity, we will be recognized." Chen Siqi smiled proudly, "I actually have some unreal feelings now, but I didn't expect to actually start doing something like this. I originally thought this summer vacation would be very boring, and this was the first time I really did something I wanted to do. In the past, no matter what I did, it was either to get into trouble with Liu Wei'an, or to apologize to my dad. It proves that I can do it, but I have never done something that I really want to do. If I hadn’t written this book with you, I think I would never have taken any action to do it.”
Lu Yanhe did not expect that Chen Siqi would suddenly make such a "true confession" to him.
"Me too." Lu Yanhe said immediately, "If it weren't for you doing it with me, I wouldn't have taken action. I would only occasionally have such an idea pop up in my head, and then nothing would happen."
What Chen Siqi did not say is that she hopes that this first issue will be better than imagined and expected, and that she hopes that this book can continue to be developed, so that even if she goes to Jiangguang and Lu Yanhe stays in Yuming, even if she is just a Lu Yanhe, an ordinary student, will become more and more popular and famous, but they can still stay together because of this book and maintain a long-term and stable relationship.
Chen Siqi is not an optimist. She cannot optimistically believe that she and Lu Yanhe can always maintain the relationship they have now despite the long-term separation.
Without spending time and energy, the relationship between people will become weaker and weaker. Even if old friends meet again, they can only talk about the past, but then it was just then, and now is now.
She not only wants the past, she also wants the present. - After eating, they found a coffee shop nearby and prepared to discuss the editing of the book and other follow-up work together in the afternoon.
"Hey, isn't that Lu Yanhe?" When they were about to leave the hotel, someone suddenly pointed at Lu Yanhe and shouted.
Her voice attracted a lot of attention.
Lu Yanhe and Chen Siqi were surrounded by eyes in an instant.
He looked around awkwardly, not knowing what to say.
"Why is there a girl next to him?" Someone commented, directly talking to the people next to him in front of him.
This "also" is very essential.
"Is she your girlfriend?" Someone asked directly, as if they were old acquaintances with Lu Yanhe.
Lu Yanhe frowned slightly and looked at that person.
The man was obviously watching a show, looking at him teasingly.
Lu Yanhe turned his head and glanced at Chen Siqi.
Chen Siqi had already glared at him fiercely, "Who are you? What does it have to do with you?!"
Lu Yanhe panicked, fearing that Chen Siqi would quarrel with others in public, so he quickly pulled her away. - This unexpected episode made Lu Yanhe and Chen Siqi's departure seem a bit "fleeing".
Chen Siqi was very dissatisfied and said, "Why did you drag me away just now?"
Lu Yanhe answered honestly: "I'm afraid you might quarrel with him."
"That person looks ill-intentioned and has a sinister look on his face." Chen Siqi said, "I won't argue with him."
Lu Yanhe had a headache and said, "It seems that it is getting easier and easier to be recognized recently."
"Isn't it normal that you are trending on searches every day and are getting recognized more and more easily?" Chen Siqi said, "I still find it strange that you can come out so often to eat and drink coffee like an ordinary person. It hasn’t been affected much, but isn’t it true that ordinary artists have their travels blocked and find it difficult to enjoy a normal life?”
"Unless it's very popular, otherwise it won't be so difficult. Even Sister Yuqian can go out normally as long as she dresses up." Lu Yanhe said, "It's not that exaggerated. Li Zhibai is so popular. As long as you don't go to places where people gather, you can still hang out with us."
Chen Siqi: "That's because the people you mentioned are only known to many young people. You can try it with Shang Yongzhou and others."
"That's true."
The two of them ran to the nearby cafe, opened the door, went in, and found a seat in the corner.
They usually find this kind of seat, and then Lu Yanhe sits facing the corner, with his back to other people in the store. In this way, he will rarely be recognized by others, at most by the clerk.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I sat down this time, a voice called "Lu Yanhe!"
Lu Yanhe's body stiffened and he looked at Chen Siqi in disbelief.
Is this being recognized too often today?
Chen Siqi also turned his head and looked over.
They soon realized that they had misunderstood and Lu Yanhe was not recognized.
Sitting next to them were two girls who were very fashionably dressed.
They each held their mobile phones and were browsing something. The "Lu Yanhe" just now was shouted by one of the girls.
"He seemed to be eating at a restaurant nearby just now!"
"what?"
"There happened to be a store-exploring anchor doing a live broadcast in the hotel. I met him and photographed him bringing a girl with him. The girl had a very bad temper."
"What girl?"
"I don't know, he looks average."
The "average" Chen Siqi took a deep breath.
Lu Yanhe quickly told her to calm down with his two girls continued to talk.
"Nowadays, these idol artists seem to be extremely innocent on the surface. Let me just say, at this time, they are handsome, young, and rich, how can they be innocent? Look at the good-looking people around us. A little guy, when has he ever had a girlfriend around him?"
"I thought Lu Yanhe was a little different."
"There are also many scumbags among top academics."
The "scumbag" Lu Yanhe's eyes widened in shock.
Chen Siqi nodded at him with a look that was full of teasing.
"Hahaha, it's so funny. The owner of that restaurant said that Lu Yanhe was very stingy. He invited a girl to dinner, so he ordered two dishes and only spent 27 yuan!"
"Twenty-seven yuan?! Holy shit, if any man invites me to dinner and only eats this kind of thing, I'll just pick up my bag and leave. I'll go. It's so humiliating. How can there be such a stingy boy?"
"I'm really speechless."
……
The two girls didn't realize that the two new people were the ones they were talking about.
I waited for them to finish drinking coffee and leave the store, but they didn't notice it.
Lu Yanhe and Chen Siqi stared at each other, but neither of them spoke.
This feeling of sitting next to others talking about myself is very refreshing.
After a while, Chen Siqi said, "Are you OK?"
The main thing the two girls were talking about just now was Lu Yanhe, who was so philandering and stingy that it made people look down on him.
Lu Yanhe was sprayed so hard that he was numb.
Chen Siqi couldn't stop laughing and said, "It's really only when I sit with you that I can feel the kind of environment you face on a daily basis."
Lu Yanhe: "Oh, I suddenly feel that as soon as I finish today's lunch, I will probably become a very bad man in the minds of many people."
"Let's clarify it quickly." Chen Siqi said, "Looking at what they mean, it is estimated that many people on the Internet are already talking about it."
"What are you clarifying? I feel like I don't know what to clarify." Lu Yanhe said, "It's a fact that we only ate 27 yuan."
"Then we just ate a roasted pork with eggplant and a stir-fried cabbage. How much more money can we get? It's not like eating in a high-end restaurant, it's just a restaurant that makes small stir-fries for ordinary people." Chen Siqi said.
"But that's how it sounds to other people."
"Can you just clarify that I'm not your girlfriend?" Chen Siqi said.
Lu Yanhe: "Then there are more people who call me a scumbag. Well, after being criticized, I even deny that I am my girlfriend."
Chen Siqi sighed.
"What should I do?"
"I'll send a message to Sister Ziyan. It's okay." Lu Yanhe said, "I will be laughed at for two days at most."
He pretended to be free and easy, but actually he was a little irritable inside.
It obviously has nothing to do with the facts, but it falls into a situation where the more facts you explain, the more misunderstandings you will an artist, you always have to face this situation. The facts are not important. If you explain too much, it will only make things worse, so it is better not to say anything.
Lu Yanhe has faced this situation several times.
Chen Ziyan replied: Don’t take it to heart about small things.
It was Chen Ziyan's attitude that made Lu Yanhe breathe a sigh of relief.
It seems that no matter what happens, it is not a big deal to Chen Ziyan. - Chen Ziyan really looks down on such trivial matters.
For her, she often feels that as long as artists do not violate laws and disciplines, there is nothing that cannot be solved or publicized.
All crises are opportunities - to a certain extent, Zhou Ping'an's concept is not wrong. Black and red are also red, black can turn red, and image crisis can be turned into image improvement. The current discussion has at least attracted the attention of many people With Lu Yanhe and good public relations, these followers have become positive appreciators.
Chen Ziyan directly arranged a virtual "friend" identity and wrote online: "Seeing that Lu Yanhe and Qiqi were mistaken for boyfriend and girlfriend, as their classmate and good friend, I'd better come out and explain. The two are classmates in No. 27 Middle School and have a very good relationship. There are several people who often play with them. They are not just the two of them. They often meet and eat together now because they are working on a book together, so they often If they want to meet and discuss, does it mean that if a boy and a girl stay together, they must be friends? In addition, as for the 27 yuan, the average dish in the restaurant where they ate was only [-] or [-] yuan. It is a restaurant that focuses on affordable prices. We, good friends, are dining together and we are all freshly graduated high school students. Even [-] yuan is not cheap, okay?!"
After writing, find media you are familiar with to forward it, attract traffic, increase popularity, and create a topic.
Under several posts criticizing Lu Yanhe and Chen Siqi for being boyfriend and girlfriend, I put a screenshot of this content, arranged it to be popular, and sent the screenshot to the top few in the comment area.
It’s not just the trolls who know how to control network traffic. The same applies to public relations responses.
When Lu Yanhe's and Chen Siqi's cell phones rang in turn, they realized that this matter and the response arranged by Chen Ziyan had become hot searches.
Many of their friends sent "sympathies."
Li Pengfei even started a group and named it "The School Beauty of No. [-] Middle School".
He started talking directly in the group.
Lin Yu, Chen Qin, and Xu Zijun were all drawn into the group.
Li Pengfei was curious about who the people who responded online were, so he @@ everyone and asked if it was them.
Everyone denied it.
Li Pengfei: Who else is so familiar with Lao Lu and Chen Siqi?
Lu Yanhe replied silently: That ID was arranged by my agent, not a real person.
Li Pengfei: I'll go.
Linyu: I also said that I never thought about who this person was.
Lu Yanhe: Unexpected disaster.
Li Pengfei: It’s so funny.
Chen Qin: This response is so real, I really thought it was written by one of us.
Chen Qin: But are you making a book together? This response brought up for the first time the idea of Lu Yanhe and Chen Siqi writing a book together in front of everyone. (End of chapter)
