Although Gu Jia tried her best to avoid it, Gu Jinghong came here just because of her divorce.
So in the end the topic returned to this, "What happened between you and...Xu Huanshan? What did he do..."
The young man who called didn't make it clear, so Gu Jinghong only knew that Gu Jia and Xu Huanshan were divorced, and in his opinion, he naturally stood by his daughter unconditionally.
And he also understands the character of his daughter Gu Jia. She has a hard-charging personality, but now she is forced to become more and more diplomatic by reality, but she still has a bottom line.
She must be very cautious when it comes to marriage, and it was also because her relationship with him was so stalemate that she valued her family even more.
Gu Jia was silent for a moment and said helplessly: "He has another woman outside."
The father is not Xu Ziyan. She didn't tell him before because she didn't want him to worry. Now she doesn't know if it was Li Yong who told him. Anyway, he already knew it, so there was no need to hide it anymore.
And it was even more relaxing to not have to act in front of him anymore.
Gu Jinghong found it a bit unbelievable. After all, Xu Huanshan felt quite calm and reliable. He thought that they might have some financial conflicts or some differences in their children's education, but he never expected that It's because Xu Huanshan cheated.
"He...he..." Gu Jinghong couldn't say a complete sentence for a long time. He was so angry that he didn't know what to say.
Gu Jia had no choice but to help him calm down and explain: "Dad, don't worry, I'm fine now. Everything is over and I will be fine in the future."
"I have to find him..."
Gu Jia quickly grabbed her father and said, dumbfounded: "We are divorced now, there is no need."
"Why is it not necessary?" Although Gu Jinghong's temperament is very elegant, when he meets his daughter, it becomes like a powder keg.
However, after being stared at by Gu Jia for a while, he finally sat down honestly and sighed: "It's not worth it for me to do it for you, you... Oops!"
He was just angry before, but now he has calmed down, and he also knows that the most important thing at the moment is the happiness of his daughter and grandson.
Thinking of this, he was even more grateful to the young man who called him to inform him. Then he saw his daughter hesitated and told him what she had agreed with Xu Huanshan.
After all, looking at Gu Jinghong like this, the best way to make him feel relieved is to let him know that the matter has been settled.
Gu Jinghong has never been embarrassed by anyone in his life. He is not the kind of person who acts impulsively and without regard for the consequences, so as long as he explains things clearly, he will naturally know what to do.
"Dad knows. Dad will listen to you, as long as you do well."
After a while, Gu Jinghong asked again: "Jiajia, what are you going to do in the future?"
Gu Jia said: "I am running a tea factory now, and my family's livelihood may depend on it in the future. It's just that I have a little headache right now because of Zi Yan."
"I'll take care of it for you, Ziyan. Whatever you want to do, just do it with confidence and boldness. Dad will give you good backing."
Gu Jinghong was unwilling to move in with Gu Jia and the others before because he felt that he was a bad old man who had nothing in common with young people and children, and he had to rely on their care, so he simply found a nursing home to save them the trouble. You can also find companions to feel happier.
Things were different now, and he knew his daughter needed him here.
Gu Jia smiled bitterly and said: "Dad, that's not what I'm talking about. It's just that Xu Huanshan and I are separated now, which is not a good thing for Ziyan. This kind of thing won't last long. I'm afraid, even if Ziyan finds something in the future, he will If you don’t tell me, you will misunderstand me in your heart.”
Gu Jinghong nodded understandingly. He used to have a normal relationship between husband and wife, but because his wife left early, he and Gu Jia had a lot of misunderstandings.
Later, it was Gu Jia who got married and had children, and she gradually came to understand him as he was before, and the relationship between father and daughter eased.
Now that Gu Jia wants to hide things from Xu Ziyan, even though she and Xu Huanshan are divorced, she still needs to hide it from him. Xu Ziyan may also make the same mistake as Gu Jia did.
You can’t always expect to wake up to everything and put an end to the past after you become an adult or have a family, right?
"It's better to tell him clearly. This kid is so sensible, he will understand you."
"But he's still young..." Gu Jia hesitated. Only on the issue of the child, she couldn't think calmly and rationally, just like that time when she went crazy and hit Muzi's mother, so she finally shook her head. Said: "Forget it, let's do this for now."
No anti-theft
Walking and watching, that's all.
Gu Jinghong also nodded, and then Sister Yan's food was ready and was inviting them to eat. Gu Jia quickly pulled up his father and said with a smile: "Dad, speaking of which, it's been a long time since I've eaten with you."
…
Zhong Xiaoqin’s first volume went through intermittent revisions for more than a month, and finally the draft was approved and officially published!
Nowadays, due to the development of online media, paper media has been hit hard, and because of the abundance of information that can be queried and received on the Internet, as well as the abundance of various entertainment activities, the physical book industry has also been hit hard.
Under such circumstances, being able to publish and distribute is already considered a success, but at least the requirements are higher and more difficult than in the original prosperous period.
And waiting for the first week's sales data to come in will be another good thing for her.
Li Yong was so separated that he didn't know the current situation of the physical market. Of course, he didn't know whether the sales figure of 30,000 copies in the first week was considered good or bad.
Zhong Xiaoqin said happily: "The editor said that this result is already very good for an unknown newcomer. Does this count as a success for me?"
The key point is that this is only the first week. The sales curves of newcomers and established writers are sometimes completely opposite. As long as the quality of the work is good, sales will increase day by day as the reputation becomes greater, and generally decline but not so fast.
In the second week now, the word-of-mouth feedback about this book is still good.
According to the current trend, the sales of this book may explode in the third or fourth week of word-of-mouth fermentation. The final sales volume in the first month may fall in the range of 150,000 to 200,000, or it may be higher. lesser.
The key is that this is a long-term project, sales will continue to accumulate, and it is not impossible to eventually break one million sales. For a newcomer, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a great success.
But, if a book is priced at 20, one million is only two million in sales...
Of course, sales are linked to many factors, and they cannot be simply attributed to one place. We can only say that we are off to a good start.
Although Li Yong couldn't guarantee it, he would definitely support Zhong Xiaoqin in pursuing his dream, so he smiled and said, "Of course, do you want to be more successful?"
Li Yong had mentioned it so many times. Zhong Xiaoqin naturally thought of it immediately. He was talking about film and television adaptations. At this time, he hesitated and said: "Now... so soon?"
This is only the second week since the book was published, and Zhong Xiaoqin always feels a little weird when talking about film and television adaptations as she is still a newcomer.
"We have to strike while the iron is hot. These days, everything has to be done early. If you pass this village, there will be no shop like this."
Li Yong then explained the importance of this matter to Zhong Xiaoqin in detail.
First of all, film and television adaptation is actually a long process. You don’t just have to negotiate with the author today, and then you can come up with the script and get investment to start forming the crew tomorrow.
Secondly, this matter is actually part of the propaganda.
Especially now when the book is still being released, if you suddenly release this news, the first thought of people who hear the news is naturally to see how it is and whether it is as good as the publicity.
After all, in everyone's impression, works that can be adapted for film and television are either really good, famous works handed down from generation to generation, or have good sales, high popularity, and are based on the original work. If adapted, it can attract a lot of attention from the beginning. For the subsequent The results can be considered as a guarantee.
Therefore, film and television adaptations can actually be discussed slowly, but publicity must first follow up.
Then in the follow-up process, news will be thrown out from time to time, such as which actor has been selected, or which actor has been scandalized, or the most suitable actor in the screenwriter's heart. Anyway, related topics have been flooding the screen.
I'm not afraid of being scolded, I'm afraid of not getting enough attention.
These days, if you promote a piece of shit, people will buy it, not to mention that Zhong Xiaoqin’s work is actually good enough for the right people.
