Taking advantage of Wei Guoping's style, Jiang Yulou decided to get the matter done today.
So, after talking to his parents, he pulled Tang Yuewen and Wei Guoping out of the door.
The weather was too hot and the sun was so strong that waves of heat spread across the earth and the air became distorted.
The hotter or colder the weather, the more Jiang Yulou misses the days when he had a car in his previous life.
If he could buy a car now, he could drive and blow on the air conditioner when he goes out. It would be a blessing. Unlike now, he regretted it as soon as he went out. It would have been better if he had gone out later.
The three of them went to a small shopping mall first. After failing to choose the clothes they liked, they went to Wangfujing Mall.
When you arrive at a large shopping mall, you will be dazzled by the dazzling array of products.
Men's and women's clothing are on the first floor, but divided into different areas. Tang Yuewen wanted to visit the women's clothing area first, so the two of them had nothing to do, so they went to the men's clothing area.
Unexpectedly, in the men's clothing section, Wei Guoping was aroused to buy.
"Yulou, do you have money? Can you borrow some?"
"Yes, what do you want to do?"
"I have my eye on a suit of clothes, but I didn't bring much money with me when I came out today."
Wei Guoping's eyes glanced at the suit he was interested in from time to time. Jiang Yulou followed his gaze and found out that he was interested in a striped suit.
This suit, from the perspective of Jiang Yulou, a soul from later generations, is naturally shabby. But in this era, it is the most fashionable style.
It can only be said that Wei Guoping's vision is pretty good for this era.
Jiang Yulou wanted to persuade him, but he still didn't say anything. Instead, he simply paid for him.
"Thank you, Yulou."
"Thank you, it's not a gift to you, you have to pay back the money."
"no problem."
After buying it, he looked at the time and thought that Tang Yuewen should have picked it up, so he went to the women's clothing area. When the two of them went there, Tang Yuewen was still trying on clothes.
Jiang Yulou is so worried!
He knew that Tang Yuewen couldn't choose clothes, but look at what she was holding in her hand, what was this?
He picked up a red shirt of Tang Yuewen's in his left hand, picked up another women's suit in his right hand, and stuffed them all back.
"You're not going to a meeting, so why are you wearing a suit and shirt? It's the weather in Hong Kong in August. Do you think you're going to suffer from heatstroke if you wear such thick clothes?"
Jiang Yulou chose a beige dress and a pair of white high heels and handed them to the girl.
One set was not enough, so he chose another set and wore it differently.
"Go try it."
"oh."
Tang Yuewen took the clothes and shoes and entered the fitting room with a confused look.
Not long after, the girl came out dressed, and Jiang Yulou's eyes lit up.
Tang Yuewen looked calm and quiet at this time, and she will definitely become Bai Yueguang in the hearts of countless people in future generations.
The girl lowered her head shyly, looked at what she was wearing, and after making sure it was okay, she asked softly: "Does it look good?"
"so gorgeous!"
The girl was very happy, but asked a little worriedly: "Will it be expensive?"
Seeing the two people showing off their affection like no one else, Wei Guoping said sourly: "Don't save money for Yulou. This grandson is a wealthy businessman and has a lot of money. How much does this set cost? It's a drop in the bucket for him, so you just Just be at ease."
Tang Yuewen glanced at Jiang Yulou, and Jiang Yulou thought:
"Haha, he is really right, I am a big dog."
He didn't say much, but went directly to the counter with his clothes and shoes, showing his attitude with his actions.
At this moment, Tang Yuewen's heart melted.
…
When Jiang Yulou was buying an outfit for his girlfriend for his trip to Hong Kong, the publishing world was making a sensation because of the sales of this issue of "Contemporary".
Since the second issue of "Contemporary" was launched, 250,000 copies have been sold in one month. Hell, Contemporary is a literary magazine, and it’s quarterly.
In other words, this issue of the magazine will be sold for another two months.
According to this terrifying momentum, it is certain that the sales volume will exceed that of the first issue. As for the final sales volume, industry insiders have estimated that it is at least 600,000 copies.
One issue of the magazine sold 600,000 copies. This has never happened in the domestic publishing industry. It is considered to be history in the contemporary era.
While various magazines were shocked, envious, and jealous, they were also exploring why contemporary books could sell so well.
Because this is not the first time that Contemporary has sold so well, but for these two issues, the sales volume of one issue is stronger than the other. If they don't want to lose their status in the hearts of readers, they must understand the mystery.
Only in this way can we think of ways to deal with it.
When they mobilized their manpower, inquired about information, and conducted interviews and research, they came up with an answer that shocked them.
It turns out that readers bought out all copies of "Contemporary" en masse, all because of one writer.
This writer is Jiang Yulou, the author of "Conspiracy" and "Love Letter".
The industry actually didn't pay much attention to this new work "Love Letter". What really introduced them to Jiang Yulou was his previous work "The Conspiracy".
"The Conspiracy" is so popular that the single book has sold more than 600,000 copies so far, and it has also been released as a radio drama. Radio stations across the country are broadcasting the drama like crazy.
Moreover, at Xinhua Bookstore, tapes of radio dramas are also selling well.
You must know that the tapes of this radio drama are not cheap, a set costs dozens of yuan, but they sold out immediately in Yanjing. It is said that it will be sold to other provinces in the second half of the year.
There is also the TV series "The Conspiracy". Not only the heavy investment, but also the popular niche Tang Guoqiang as the male lead.
With so much news, it was hard for him not to be popular.
After Jiang Yulou became popular, they didn't think of any other solutions. For example, hiring a large sum of money for a manuscript was the best solution they could think of.
But all the invitations came to nothing.
This time they were blinded, and they couldn't think of any better way besides asking for a manuscript.
Are you talking about increasing the remuneration?
This is impossible. Jiang Yulou is already receiving top-notch remuneration in the industry. No matter how high it is, he will get into trouble.
Magazines don’t have the guts to fight the policy.
Originally, they thought about just enduring it and getting over it. After all, no matter how good a writer is, the number of good works he can write in his lifetime is limited. Even if it happens again in the future, it can’t be this year.
But who knows, things are often so evil. Jiang Yulou published two works within half a year. Although the theme of his second work "Love Letter" this year is no longer a spy suspense but a youth love theme, it is no less exciting than "The Conspiracy".
As a result, with the blessing of Jiang Yulou's new work, "Contemporary"'s already good quality and popular works directly sold out. The hearts of various magazines are undoubtedly bleeding at this time.
If they had known that Jiang Yulou could create such a miracle, they should have persisted and even taken the train to Yanjing to find him to persuade him face to face. Maybe the effect would have been better.
What to do now?
Of course I will continue to invite manuscripts!
Regardless of whether Jiang Yulou agrees or not, you must let him see your own attitude.
