Chapter 329 Why are you so calm
"Ouch?" Tiefeng suddenly shouted, attracting the attention of a circle of people around him.
Is it true? Is he such a young man?
Previously all the editors thought Kaiyuan was joking when he said the author called himself a student - later Kaiyuan himself thought it was a joke.
"This is the author of "Nangong Boy", Shen Fei."
There was an uproar around him.
Li Yan covered her face. Damn it, she still couldn't get around this shock. I was afraid she was about to hear that ancient saying again.
"So handsome?" Tiefeng said.
Eh? Is this what you are focusing on?
“I feel like I can compete for the most handsome author.”
"Fanshu is already handsome enough, but I didn't expect that there would be someone taller and handsome."
"Sure enough, truly successful people have no shortcomings."
... Li Yan didn't know what to do for a moment. What expression.
"It's almost lunch time. We're just here for a temporary chat. We're not all here, and the editor-in-chief has left." Tie Feng was a real person, and explained the general situation to Li Yan, "Later, Let’s have a good chat at lunch. After dinner, it’s all about having fun. Hey, where’s Kaiyuan? He’s not with you?”
“I’ll wait for him at the door. Thanks, Brother Feng. "Li Yan waved her hand with a smile, walked to the door of the hotel, and sent a message to Kaiyuan.
It seems that this circle is not surprised by "young authors" who have achieved great results. After all, the newcomer's first book is only 18 years old.
Many of this group of people have not necessarily read "Nangong Boy". Everyone is either an editor or an author. As the saying goes, there is no first in writing, but they are still a bit arrogant about their own words and aesthetics.
There is no such emotion as "your writing is so awesome, I really can't compare with you".
Those who have not achieved results will admire the achievements of the big guys, but if everyone has the same results, there are many reasons to say so.
For example, when Li Yan first came in, he heard a small group of three people discussing the Newcomer King. He thought that the Newcomer King was actually not as good as them in writing, and his settings were not as good as theirs, but the plot arrangement was even more intrusive than others.
"If I am willing to write like that, I can do it."
"If you can't say it like that, then you have to have a source that is willing to praise you and give you enough traffic."
"So, I write No matter what, Xiaobai, Yuanyuan is not willing to praise me, but he can still achieve today's results, what if he is willing?"
"Whoever stands in the spotlight is..."
"That can't be like this? Speaking of which, Rookie Wang can be regarded as a pioneer of the genre. Didn’t we implement the idea even though we had it?”
"Can this be considered a creation of a genre? Then so can I."
Even the newcomer king who dominates the list is in this discussion environment, let alone Li Yan's works.
Because "Nangong Boy" is not even among the top ten in origin history in terms of current total sales.
There are many people out there who have made more money than Li Yan's book - after all, his book only has 2.7 million words, and its content has a high threshold for niche reading, making it incomparable to popular breakout works.
Li Yan's climactic plot lasted for a month, and it only reached the number one spot on various lists on the day it ended, mainly relying on some readers to attract readers.
Everyone came to the pilgrimage with the mood of "see how awesome the divine book is", but naturally they didn't understand anything just by looking at the ending. Naturally, few of these pilgrim readers would actually read the book.
And for Li Yan’s book, which stretches for thousands of miles, the reading experience will be greatly reduced if you read the ending first.
Pilgrimage readers were not originally the audience for this book.
So Li Yan’s book should not stay at the top of the list for a few days, and it will still give up its position to those popular books with a large audience and real money.
It seems that the author at the annual meeting did not pay much attention to Li Yan's book.
No wonder the focus is on his appearance.
After the analysis, Li Yan saw a young and handsome guy walking hesitantly towards him.
Wearing a casual suit, sneakers, square rimless glasses, a slicked back hair, and regular facial features, although he is not tall, he looks like he has fitness habits.
This is Li Yan’s first impression of Kaiyuan.
“Hello, are you the author?”
The person who can walk back to the door from outside to find someone at this moment is most likely Kaiyuan.
"Yuan Da?"
"Ah...yes, I am Kaiyuan, what the fuck?"
Kaiyuan was more shocked than others, because he actually From the bottom of my heart, I don’t think that “Tang Qi Shenfei” will be a young man.
For more than a year, he has assumed that the person opposite the screen is an older brother who is at least ten years older than him. He plans to write about urban rebirth for his next book, so he acts and makes jokes every day.
Is the result really true?
Fortunately, it looks like Gao Luo is a college student. Apart from a softer voice, there is nothing that could be related to a junior high school student.
“Finally, we meet above!” Kaiyuan was a little excited, but he didn’t know what to say.
In his fantasy, even if the author is "Li Chun" who has never been in the Internet literary circle, he is probably a big boss of physical literature, and he wants to communicate with him as a junior. .
Another handshake and gratitude.
If "Li Chun" is also a fake identity and is actually a well-known Internet writer, then several editors are laughing and cursing together, "You deceived us so hard" and so on.
However, now he is a young man whom he has never seen before... How is this going to work?
Li Yan took the initiative to reach out and said, "Let me make it clear to avoid embarrassment. I am Tang Qi Shenfei, the author of "Nangong Boy", and my real name is Li Yan. Thank you to Yuanda for scooping me out of the sea of books. Get up."
"I'm Kaiyuan, hahahaha, it's a big netizen meeting." Kaiyuan shook his head with a smile on his face.
In fact, Kaiyuan's reaction also made Li Yan confused. The shock actually slipped away like that?
I promised that I didn't like others to be shocked, and I didn't like to hear about heroes from ancient times being young, but I didn't expect that they were gone and I felt a little disappointed...
Damn it, damn human beings.
Pretentious people should look directly at their pretentious soul, otherwise they will be counterattacked by reality.
"The luncheon is about to start. Let's go over there and sit at the same table with me."
"Okay."
Li Yan agreed simply and prepared another glass of juice.
"I just told you, the good stuff is at the luncheon, don't get too full." Kaiyuan laughed. "I quite like juice. Is there any lunch?"
"Uh..."
"It's okay, take it."
Li Yan just entered the banquet hall carrying peach and strawberry juice.
Actually, everyone dressed quite casually today. The most formal ones were casual suits of different colors. This made Li Yan very happy.
Because he was wearing a sports coat, I thought it would be too awkward.
But suits are really uncomfortable, even if they are customized.
It’s not interesting to wear something so tight when you come here to play today.
It seems that everyone has the same idea, look at the matching of Kaiyuan's suit and sneakers.
“We are sitting at the first table on the left.” Kaiyuan looked very proud, “The most powerful authors and editors sit here.”
“Where is the one in the middle?”
“Of course it’s the bosses who sit there.”——That is, the management and the editor-in-chief.
Li Yan took a look and saw that there was an acquaintance inside.
Then nodded.
Kaiyuan was a little anxious. He felt that Li Yan didn't understand the point of his words, and it felt like he was pretending but not pretending.
This is the table next to the management! The most awesome editors and authors, and then we sit here, do you know what it means?
You, the most awesome author; I, the most awesome editor!
One!
Of course, it actually gave face to the two "newcomer kings" last year. In terms of status alone, Kaiyuan should sit at the table on the right.
Li Yan can sit at this table because of the high "literary significance" of this book.
"This is the author of "Nangong Boy"? He is really a young man." Moonlight, the editor-in-chief of the fantasy group, stood up and said hello, very arrogantly.
Next to him sits the most popular author on the Origin Chinese website, the newcomer king two years ago and the current sales king - Brother Fanshu.
He is actually quite handsome, but he is almost embarrassed in front of Li Yan - no, he should be considered a lot less embarrassed.
He stood up - he was barely tall enough, and shook hands with Li Yan, "I've always wanted to communicate with you, but I didn't expect you look younger than me."
Li Yan responded with a smile, looking for Sit down in a good position.
What is surprising is that the most profitable authors and corresponding editors are sitting at this table, which can be regarded as the table with the highest professional level, but they are very interested in Li Yan.
It is both a compliment and something to learn from, very humble.
Logically speaking, they should be the proudest ones, right?
Li Yan soon found the reason from their words.
People who can write novels like this cannot just write routines or solve problems according to formulas.
More or less, there is always some pursuit of words.
It has been said 10,000 times that there is no first place in literature. It is better to write works that are famous and go down in history than to make a handful of money and leave, right?
Writing that can be studied and chewed over and over again by readers is more satisfying to the author than writing ten lines at a glance, right?
There is an inherent contradiction between "masterpieces" that have a high reading threshold and "enjoyable articles" that are suitable for most people.
You can’t have your cake and eat it too, and some money can’t be earned standing still.
But there are two people standing and making money at this table.
Fanshu directly wrote Shuang to the extreme, becoming the founder of the sect, and wrote Xiaobai Shuangwen to be famous and go down in history.
Li Yan wrote a martial arts novel with a high reading threshold and a strong literary quality, but it was well-received and well-received through its ingenious layout.
In the eyes of most top-level authors attending the annual meeting today, these two are the current kings of Origin. One earns the most, and the other writes the best.
If you write better than Fanshu, you won’t earn one-tenth of what he does, and if you earn more than Li Yan, the discussion will be less than one-tenth of him.
Only they are worth comparing with each other.
But both of them are very young...
Li Yan can feel everyone's subtle emotions towards him and Comrade Fanshu - an emotion of awe, envy, and wanting to replace them.
Very good, the author who writes the results must have this kind of ambition.
“Why did you sign the contract in the name of ‘Li Chun’?” asked another editor present.
Kaiyuan is also curious, he wants to hear the real reason.
"Li Chun is my dad. Because I am underage, I cannot sign." Li Yan answered instantly.
“Hey, even here you are still...” Kaiyuan suddenly paused, “Isn’t it?!”
"Everything I told you is true, Brother Yuan." Li Yan smiled and took out his ID card, which had "19951024" written on it.
An explanation is not as intuitive as giving evidence.
"I'm really underage, I'm just a little impatient." Li Yan also joked.
Actually, it should be 1215. The registered person entered it according to the lunar calendar birth diary.
"Fifteen years old? Not even fifteen yet!" Fanshu shouted directly.
He has been enjoying everyone's praise for his "young fame" for two years, and thought it would be an unbeatable record.
A minor appears?
After all, it caused a commotion. The whole table had different postures, but they all tried their best to show their disbelief.
"Wait a minute..." Kaiyuan's eyes widened, "Is everything you said true? Why don't you need to study or something?"
"Of course."
Oh my god, co-author, you are so calm, do you think I am a college student?
Am I that mature?
Have you ever seen a handsome junior high school student who is 1.83 meters tall and has broad shoulders?
