The disputes on the Internet did not affect Lu Yanhe's study and life. However, the classmates around him seemed to be cautious towards him because of this incident. They seemed to be worried that he would be in a bad mood and would speak softer once they got close to him. Lu Yanhe didn't know what to say. He couldn't just say "I haven't been affected by those attacks online, so you don't have to do this" when meeting someone. Fortunately, because the whole morning was filled with classes, Lu Yanhe spent most of the time focusing on listening to the lectures and taking notes. In the first semester of freshman year, the main courses are literary history, introduction to culture, basics of linguistics, etc. Lu Yanhe had a hard time taking these courses. Because he is really not a person who is interested in literature or language. He just likes to read novels, and at most he likes some poetry. He had no relevant accumulation. Whether it was the allusions or deeds that the teachers cited in class, Lu Yanhe didn't know most of what was going on. He could only record it temporarily and look up the information after class to figure it out. I chose history as my first choice and literature as my second choice because I liked history more. But I didn't enroll in history. I enrolled in literature major because I thought it would be helpful to me as an actor in the future and improve my cultural quality.
Looking back now, dreams are beautiful, but reality is not so beautiful. After class at noon, Lu Yanhe turned on his phone and saw that Li Zhi asked him and Yan Liang in the group five minutes ago if they would go back for lunch. Yan Liang replied OK. Lu Yanhe: I won’t go back. I will go to the library. I can’t understand many of the classes in the morning, so I have to make up for it. Li Zhibai: Then you just eat bread for lunch? Lu Yanhe: Well, I have to have dinner with my classmates in the evening, so I can just have something for lunch. Li Zhibai: Don’t end up malnourished. Lu Yanhe: It’s alarmist, but it’s not because I haven’t eaten. Li Zhibai: It’s the same as not eating. Lu Yanhe:...... -
Today is also the second day that "Jump Up" has been released on . Lu Yanhe opened the APP immediately on his way to the library. On the reading homepage of "Jump Up", the number of people who have joined the bookshelf has exceeded 39. According to the rules of , if you want to read "Jump Up", you must be a registered user. Unregistered visitors can only read the first three pages. Therefore, Lu Yanhe guessed that most of the 39 people were fans of Jiang Yuqian and Li Zhibai. Without them, this number would definitely not be as good as it is. Lu Yanhe mainly looked at the comment section. He wanted to know what everyone thought of the book. However, just like the market's positioning of the book, this book inevitably has a fan-oriented trend. In the comment area, most of them are fans of several artists praising their idols.
Novels written by authors such as Liu Jiazhen, Mingyin, and Bai Yu are rarely discussed. Lu Yanhe was a little disappointed. The popularity of this book has reached everyone's expectations, and even exceeded it. It's just that the popularity is not due to the content itself. This makes Lu Yanhe breath a sigh of relief, but he is still a little hesitant. In this case, can he continue to make a second book?
Just as he was thinking about it, Chen Siqi called. "Have you finished class?" Chen Siqi asked. "get out of class is over, on the way to the library." Lu Yanhe said, "I was reading the reviews of "Jump Up" just now." Chen Siqi: "Me too. I basically stared at the comment area yesterday and today. Are you a little disappointed?" "Ok?" "Because most of the content in the comment section is related to artists." Lu Yanhe thought to himself that Chen Siqi was really hitting the nail on the head when it came to guessing his thoughts. "is a bit." Chen Siqi said firmly: "There is no way around this, but as long as there is a chance, I can continue to the second and third periods. I want to continue doing it. You won't be discouraged, right?" Lu Yanhe: "..." Chen Siqi: "Lu Yanhe, you can't give up halfway." "No." Lu Yanhe lowered his head and smiled, "I'm just worried that when it switches to charging, there will still be such data. Maybe no one will be willing to spend money to buy it." Chen Siqi: "That's because you don't know how good the pre-sale situation of the physical book "Jump Up" is. Yesterday it was put on the shelves for free on . It stands to reason that if it is free to read, people will not spend money, but just Yesterday, the number of new pre-sales of physical books through various channels exceeded 10,000. Sister Xiaoyin told me that this number is very outstanding." "Ah, really?" "You were recording the show, so we didn't bother you." Chen Siqi said, "Don't belittle yourself, the books we made are very good." Chen Siqi's voice was full of vitality and determination, as if he was facing the sun and moving forward unswervingly. Lu Yanhe was also inspired by Chen Siqi's momentum. "Let's do this together." -
After hanging up the phone, Lu Yanhe's mood was brought back a little. But he didn't expect to meet Zhou Mukai in the library. He also reads in the study room of the library. Lu Yanhe went in, sat down, and greeted Zhou Mukai softly. Zhou Mukai looked very surprised when he saw him, as if he didn't expect to meet Lu Yanhe here. When Lu Yanhe passed by him, he glanced out of the corner of his eye and discovered that the tablet in front of Zhou Mukai turned out to be a page from "Jump Up". It is a short story by Liu Jiazhen. Lu Yanhe was stunned.
Zhou Mukai said nothing. Everyone is studying quietly. Lu Yanhe silently took out his book and started studying - he didn't know what he was feeling. After he knew that Zhou Mukai was reading this book, he wanted to ask Zhou Mukai what he thought of this book. But I was embarrassed to ask such words. That Zhou Mukai would never say it didn't look good in front of him. Lu Yanhe shook his head, concentrated his attention, stopped thinking, and started reading seriously. Lu Yanhe had an elective course in the afternoon, during the July 8th period. Before that, Lu Yanhe had been sitting in the library reading. When he left, Zhou Mukai was still sitting there. "I still have classes, so I'm leaving first." Lu Yanhe sent a message to Zhou Mukai and packed his things. Zhou Mukai glanced at his phone and nodded at him. The page on the tablet screen in front of him was no longer "Jump Up." -
In the evening, a lot of people came to the party organized by Miao Yue, nearly forty people. Lu Yanhe was shocked. He didn't expect there to be so many people. Four tables were needed to eat, so it was quite crowded. Miao Yue is like a social activist. She is very familiar with everyone and talks to different people all the time. Lu Yanhe went in and was stunned when he saw so many people. Miao Yue saw him and immediately waved to him, "You're finally here! Why are you here so late?" "I have elective courses in the seventh and eighth classes in the afternoon, so I will come after class." Lu Yanhe asked in a low voice, "Are all the students from the entire college here?" "There are still some students who have classes in the evening or have other things to do, so only so many came." Miao Yue said. In Miao Yue's words, "only so many came." Lu Yanhe looked at her in surprise and was speechless for a long time. "Why don't you sit next to me?" Miao Yue asked, "The other two tables seem to be full." Lu Yanhe originally thought that he would treat everyone to dinner tonight. With so many people, uh, he might as well buy it. Who would have thought that Miao Yue would suddenly say at this moment: "Don't pay the bill. We have agreed that we are AA and we don't want to treat guests." Lu Yanhe could only nod. More than forty people sat at one table, and the atmosphere was lively. In the eyes of others, the students of Zhenhua University are the proud ones, the elites, and the pillars. But regardless of all the auras attached to them, they are actually just a group of young people aged 18 or 19 who also love to have fun. Loves to play with peers. They are not a group of students who just want to sit in the library and study, nor are they arrogant people who are too high-minded and can't stand other people. Miao Yue asked Lu Yanhe: "You don't know everyone yet, right?" Lu Yanhe nodded and said, "I only know these students in our class now." "And me." Miao Yue emphasized. Lu Yanhe smiled and nodded, "Yes, and you."
Miao Yue whispered in Lu Yanhe's ear and introduced who was who. Lu Yanhe really mobilized all his memory to remember who was who in this short introduction. Obviously, although everyone is a top student from all over the country, they still cannot take it as normal that their classmates are celebrities. Everyone is still curious about Lu Yanhe. Especially their star classmate, who is still on trending searches and criticized by many people. "Yan He, aren't you worried about the voices scolding you on the Internet at all?" Han Yue asked. Han Yue is an ethnic minority and comes from the Northeast, but she looks like a southern girl, with a small frame and delicate speech. When she asked, everyone's eyes were focused on Lu Yanhe. This is something that everyone is curious about. "There is nothing to worry about. When this incident happened during the recording of the show, my manager gave me a vaccination." Lu Yanhe said, "As long as there is a conflict, someone will definitely scold you. Different people have different opinions." Perspective, but I know what I am doing, and I also think that I have done nothing wrong, and that is enough. People who think I have done nothing wrong will support me, and people who scold me mean that they think I have done something wrong. Anyway, that’s fine. It's impossible for everyone to like me, just calm down." Lu Yanhe felt that this was good, as he could finally explain the matter legitimately in front of everyone. He smiled. "Maybe many more things like this will happen in the future. I can only try my best to get used to it." "Although we are all the same age, you feel much more mature than us." "No, no." Lu Yanhe quickly waved his hand, "These words were all comforted by my agent. I just learned this. When I see someone scolding me, I will definitely still be angry." Everyone started laughing immediately. Zhou Qingcheng was also sitting at their table. There are not many boys in the liberal arts college. Today there are more than forty people, and there are only about ten boys. Zhou Qingcheng immediately said: "I have been scolding people online for a long time, and those people act as if they don't understand people. One moment they ask me how much I charge, the next moment they call me a crazy fan, and the next moment someone calls me a primary school student. " Lu Yanhe looked at Zhou Qingcheng in surprise: "Why are you still scolding people online?" Zhou Qingcheng: "I also watched your program. I think what you said about Meng Li is right. You didn't say anything wrong. Her fans are like taking the wrong medicine. They don't distinguish between right and wrong. It doesn’t make sense.” Lu Yanhe didn't expect that Zhou Qingcheng would still help him quarrel online. "There are always people like this on the Internet. What do you say to them?" Miao Yue said, "As long as what you say is not what they like to hear, then you are their enemy." Zhou Qingcheng: "I was too hasty and thought I could reason with them." "But why did you conflict with Meng Li on the show?" Ji Qianxing, who had made peace with Lu Yanhe that night, suddenly asked, "Since you know that conflict with her will make you scolded by her fans?" "Because I couldn't understand her behavior at the time." Lu Yanhe explained. "The main thing is that Meng Li has been targeting Li Zhibai, and she hasn't targeted you either." Ji Qianxing said. Lu Yanhe: "But Li Zhibai is my friend. I can't stand by and watch her target Li Zhibai." "I just think those people on the Internet are exaggerating, but in fact it is not unreasonable. After all, it was a quarrel between Mengli and Li Zhibai from the beginning. As soon as you joined in, Li Zhibai had someone to help, but Mengli didn't No help." Ji Qianxing said, "Of course Mengli has a problem, but her fans feel that she has been bullied, and I think it is understandable." Miao Yue glanced at Ji Qianxing in surprise.
Lu Yanhe was also a little surprised, but looking at Ji Qianxing, he did not refute, but nodded. "Well, from your point of view, that's right." Lu Yanhe said. "That's right, that's right. Could it be that your friend had a conflict with someone, and you just stood by and watched because that person was alone?" Zhou Qingcheng looked directly at Ji Qianxing speechlessly, "According to what you said There is a saying that when two people are quarreling, no one should intervene. As long as they intervene, one party will bully the other party? What kind of logic is this? " Ji Qianxing was scolded by Zhou Qingcheng's words and his cheeks turned red. "Why are you talking so rudely? I'm just saying that it's not completely unreasonable for those people on the Internet to say such things." "Damn it, you're not among those idiots who quarreled with me online, right?" Zhou Qingcheng's eyes widened in shock and he looked at Ji Qianxing in disbelief. Ji Qianxing's cheeks turned red, her pride seemed to be hurt by Zhou Qingcheng's words, and her eyes turned red instantly. "Zhou Qingcheng, you are going too far." The girl sitting next to Ji Qianxing immediately defended her friend. Zhou Qingcheng: "Wait a minute, you'd better shut up, otherwise according to Ji Qianxing, you can bully me in a group now." He looked at the two of them with a nonchalant look on his face. Ji Qianxing's face turned green with anger at this moment. The consequence of this incident was that Ji Qianxing left directly. The table was left looking at each other. She left so fast that no one even had a chance to keep her. At this time, the girl sitting next to Ji Qianxing, who was fighting for her, glared at Zhou Qingcheng and said, "You are so annoying and unforgiving." Zhou Qingcheng curled his lips and did not refute again this time. Lu Yanhe was also a little embarrassed. Although it was said that Ji Qianxing was made angry by Zhou Qingcheng, in the final analysis, it still had something to do with him. He didn't know if Ji Qianxing really thought that, or if she had some opinions about him because of his previous refusal. All in all, Lu Yanhe felt embarrassed for being so unhappy today. Fortunately, such unpleasantness did not happen again. Everyone at the table was very interested in things in the entertainment industry, and there were a lot of gossips about whether Lu Yanhe was true. Lu Yanhe quickly raised his hands in a gesture of surrender and said: "Everyone, although I am an artist, I actually don't have many more channels to eat food than you. I only eat food online. I don't know if it is true or not. It is impossible to ask the other party. not real." Others heard the same thing, but they were still a little disappointed. After all, everyone wants to hear the truth. -
Halfway through the meal, Lu Yanhe went to the bathroom, only to run into Zhou Qingcheng, who had left earlier. He was standing at the window at the end of the corridor, smoking. Lu Yanhe was a little surprised when he saw him smoking. When Zhou Qingcheng saw him, he raised his hand and said hello. Lu Yanhe came out of the bathroom and washed his hands. He saw that Zhou Qingcheng had finished smoking the cigarette in his hand, put out the cigarette butt, and came over to wash his hands. "When did you start smoking?" Lu Yanhe asked in surprise. "Last year." Zhou Qingcheng was still a little embarrassed, lowered his head and smiled. last year? That was when I was in my senior year of high school. Lu Yanhe nodded.
"What about you? Do you smoke?" Zhou Qing asked. "No." Lu Yanhe shook his head. "But yes, you are public figures, smoking is really bad." "Not really, quite a lot of people smoke." Lu Yanhe said, "I've just never smoked before, and I don't really like the taste." Zhou Qingcheng: "It's a good thing not to smoke. I'm trying to control it now and want to quit." "Why do you smoke?" "I was under a lot of pressure at the time. I was preparing for the exam from morning to night, so I started smoking secretly." Zhou Qingcheng said, "I had to hide from the teachers and parents, and I had to wash my hands immediately after smoking." Lu Yanhe laughed. Zhou Qingcheng: "To be honest, I admire you very much." "Huh?" Lu Yanhe looked at him in surprise. Zhou Qingcheng said: "I've seen news about you on the Internet, especially the story about your counterattack in your senior year of high school. It's really awesome. I think all the students in the college admire you." "How come, I should admire you." "Nonsense, it took you a year to do what it took us many years to do." Zhou Qingcheng said, "Besides, aren't you still working while going to school? Just this point alone I admire you very much, you are really awesome." "No no." "Don't be modest. I registered as a member today and read the book you edited." Zhou Qingcheng said, "The novel written by Liu Jiazhen is very good." "Thank you." "I heard that your book was originally intended to be turned into a magazine. Will you continue to publish it in the future?" "It depends on whether the publishing house and are willing to do it. Of course I want to continue publishing." Zhou Qingcheng nodded and said, "If you can continue doing this for a long time, you will become the idol of the entire academy." "what?" "Besides you, who else can set up a new magazine these days and keep it going?" Zhou Qingcheng said, "It's still a literary magazine, which is awesome." -
Lu Yanhe didn't expect that he would have such an impression in the eyes of his classmates. He has always been vaguely worried that his status as an artist might make his classmates take notice. Celebrities and artists are surrounded by various haloes, but Lu Yanhe also knows very well that in the eyes of non-fans, they are just people with a bit of fame, commercial packaging, and good looks. Zhenhua is the top university, and the students who can study here are the only ones in a million, or in other words, 99% of them are people who have been outstanding since childhood. Therefore, Lu Yanhe never felt that he was any special than them, nor did he feel that his status as an artist could help him gain a foothold in this school. Everyone's curiosity and attention towards him was only because of his fame. To a certain extent, Lu Yanhe even felt that he was inferior to everyone else - just like when he was in class, he always encountered allusions that he didn't understand and knowledge that he didn't know. It was very difficult to keep up with the teacher's pace. Unexpectedly, in the eyes of others, he is another shining image. -
Lu Yanhe couldn't help but start to think about when this layer of false bubbles around him would be exposed. He really doesn’t feel like he “shines” that much. After the dinner was over, everyone was ready to disperse.
There were no classes in the first or second period tomorrow morning. Lu Yanhe took a look at the time and decided not to go back to the dormitory tonight. So, Lu Yanhe said goodbye to everyone and walked in another direction alone. "I really envy Lu Yanhe for being able to rent a house outside the school." Some girls were envious. "Don't be envious. They have been working hard for their careers since they were fifteen years old. At that time, we were still students who only knew how to study." "Speaking of which, Miao Yue is so enviable. She has already published two books." Another person said with emotion, "My mother also told me that when I come to Zhenhua, let me be more humble and say that Zhenhua Hidden dragons and crouching tigers, now I realize that there are really too many amazing students.” "Let's just stop reading like this, okay? I've just entered university, so how can I compare with them? The book edited by Lu Yanhe is already on the shelves. Have you read it?" "After reading it, alas, I don't think it's interesting. Most of them are articles written by celebrity artists, and there are quite few real literary creations." "The first issue, aside from that, I think it's pretty good." "Don't you also like to write something? Why don't you also submit it?" "The things I wrote are not acceptable." …… Lu Yanhe returned to the dormitory, only Yan Liang was there. "Li Zhibai went home?" Lu Yanhe asked in surprise. Li Zhibai would never live in a school dormitory. He thought the environment in the school dormitory was too bad. He said that no matter where he lived, he would never be able to sleep at night. Therefore, when Li Zhibai is not here, he just goes home. Yan Liang shook his head and said, "Zhou Ping'an gave him a temporary play, so he packed up his things in a hurry and sent it over." "Ah?" Lu Yanhe was shocked. "Isn't his next movie "Washe"? It won't start shooting until the end of the year?" "A drama was added, and it was also a male-led drama. Zuo Xing was originally the lead, but Zuo Xing temporarily gave up, so the crew looked for someone to save the scene and found Li Zhibai." Yan Liang said, "Li Zhibai He went away cursing." Lu Yanhe could almost imagine Li Zhibai's reaction. He smiled too. "Why are you back so late?" "I was having dinner with my classmates just now. It was quite late. I want to read for a while. If I read in the dormitory, it will affect other people's rest. They all go to bed very early." "That's right." Yan Liang nodded and gave him a strange look. "what happened?" "I'm just a little surprised. I didn't expect you to study so hard after being admitted to Zhenhua University." Yan Liang said, "You won't be engaged in this field of work anyway, why are you still working so hard? You got 80% and 80% on the exam." Ninety percent won’t affect your graduation, right?” Lu Yanhe was stunned. He thought for a moment and shook his head, "I don't know, but it's not to get 80 or 90 points, but to study in Zhenhua, I feel it would be a pity if I don't go all out to study." Yan Liang looked puzzled.
Lu Yanhe shrugged his shoulders and said, "Maybe I just don't want to muddle through when I can do better." "Okay." Yan Liang nodded, "Although I don't quite understand it, it's amazing that you can think like this. Sometimes I also wonder if my efforts are too opportunistic. I am still reflecting on an issue today, as if I I only want to work hard on things related to acting, and have no such idea at all in other areas. Some classmates asked me if I wanted to learn archery together, and I refused directly. They also said that maybe I would use this skill in acting in the future, so I suddenly came After I became interested in it, I realized that I was...how to say, quite utilitarian in this area." "That can't be said. Hard work means hard work. Being opportunistic means not wanting to work so hard. If you don't want to learn archery, you don't want to learn it. If you think you may find it useful in acting in the future, you suddenly want to learn it. Doesn't it mean that you are working hard? Being opportunistic People will only think that they need to learn it temporarily after using it in the future, or simply borrow the location to shoot." Lu Yanhe said, "Don't use me as a reference, then if I wasn't for "Phoenix Terrace", I wouldn't be able to get up and run every day. fitness." Yan Liang smiled instantly. "alright." -
Lu Yanhe didn't expect that Yan Liang would be so confused. In fact, he and Yan Liang are both people who think more about themselves. Too many thoughts and too many worries. Lu Yanhe shook his head. As soon as he sat down, his cell phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was a message from Xin Zixing: The number of readers of "Jump Up" has exceeded 500,000! "Jump Up" will be released on on the 25th. According to the previous agreement, the three days from the 25th to the 27th will be free reading time. Lu Yanhe was pleasantly surprised when he received the news: Great! Xin Zixing sent a second message: It has attracted nearly 200,000 new registered users, awesome!
Seeing this data, Lu Yanhe was equally happy. Xin Zixing said: We will officially announce the good news later, please remember to forward it. Lu Yanhe: Yeah. Xin Zixing said: Let's find some time to discuss what to do next in "Jump Up"? The feedback from the first issue was much better than we expected, and the market response was also very good. Lu Yanhe said: OK. Xin Zixing: I will also make an appointment with Siqi to see if she will be back during the National Day. It would be best if we sit together and discuss it in person. Lu Yanhe: OK. -
The day "Jump Up" is officially charged is also the day the physical book "Jump Up" is officially released. Lu Yanhe was taken to the Chengpin Bookstore in Guangmao Building by Xu Xiaoyin at noon to cooperate with this large bookstore in a book signing event. In addition to Lu Yanhe, there are also Liujiazhen and Mingyin, all arranged by Jiangyin Publishing House. Lu Yanhe could only sign for one hour, and he had a class at 2:30 in the afternoon. Some media also came to the scene to take pictures of the signing scene. Jiangyin Publishing House arranged interviews with two media outlets, but it turned out that there was only enough time to complete one, while the other had to be completed on the road. "Sorry, I have to catch up with the afternoon class." Lu Yanhe apologized to them as soon as he got in the car. The media were very forgiving and said it was no problem. This kind of interview is a routine and promotional interview, and the questions have been communicated to the publisher a long time ago. Lu Yanhe answered as usual. As we were approaching school, the interview was expected to be over. Suddenly the other party asked: "Yan He, regarding the sales volume of the book "Jump Up", how much do you expect it to be?"
"Huh?" Lu Yanhe was stunned. He had not prepared for this question. "Teacher Yu Jiang posted an update on her social media today. Have you seen it?" the other party asked. Lu Yanhe shook his head, a little confused. This car belongs to the media. From the driver to the reporters to the photographers, everyone belongs to this media company, not the publishing house. What I was thinking at that time was that after the interview in the car, Lu Yanhe went directly to school. Before the on-site autograph signing was over, Lu Yanhe told Xu Xiaoyin and others not to follow them. Now Lu Yanhe feels a little regretful. When he was in a difficult position, no one could stand up to help him. He had a hunch that the dynamic content posted by Teacher Yu Jiang would not be very positive. He also remembered the name Yu Jiang. This female writer didn't like him very much on a show and said some unpleasant things. He remembered. The reporter took out his mobile phone and said: "Teacher Yu Jiang said: Asking a celebrity artist to be the editor-in-chief is a move by the publishing industry to bow to the popularity and traffic of the Internet. No real creator would bother to contribute to such an editor-in-chief. Creation is dignified." , not everyone can do it, its threshold is not the so-called popularity and traffic, no matter how high its sales volume is, it is just false." Lu Yanhe's heart skipped a beat. OK, here we come. Sure enough, it's not a good thing to say. Lu Yanhe frowned silently. The other party is still waiting for his answer. Lu Yanhe thought for a moment and said, "I actually don't want to respond to such words." The reporter asked: "Why?" "If you discuss something with a preset attitude from the beginning, you can find faults no matter what. Teacher Yu Jiang is also a well-known writer. She has her ideas, and I have my attitude. If she feels that I am not suitable to be an editor-in-chief, she can also be the editor-in-chief herself and make a magazine." Lu Yanhe said, "In this world, if I am not the editor-in-chief, others cannot do it. The road is open. If you don’t like my path, there’s no need to deny it. Just go find your own path.” (End of Chapter)
