"Wait!" In fact, Wei Wei wanted to ask when he heard the other party's words at the beginning. At this time, he couldn't help but asked: "What book, classmate Li Yong, have you written a book?"
As a journalist, maintaining curiosity is an important quality. Of course, you should also know when to be curious and when to suppress your curiosity.
But obviously in this kind of thing, it's not a big deal to ask.
Then, when the person on the phone learned that there were other people around Li Yong, instead of giving up the persuasion and hanging up the phone, they seemed to be even more enthusiastic.
Li Yong didn't need to think too much to know that the other party wanted to attract others to persuade him.
"You are Mr. Li's principal and..."
Wei Wei smiled and introduced himself: "I am a reporter from Shanghai Daily. My name is Wei Wei."
"Oh, Principal Huang, Reporter Wei..."
Li Yong raised his eyebrows. Why did this title sound wrong?
"Not only has Mr. Li written a book, but as a newcomer, it is not an exaggeration to say that it has been a hit. Moreover, the reviews on the market are very good, so our publishing house hopes to continue to cooperate with Li Yong..."
Huang Youcheng and Wei Wei looked at each other, a little surprised. Although the facts were clear, Li Yong gave them another "surprise".
And seeing their eyes looking at him as if they were looking at a treasure, Li Yong scratched his head and sighed inwardly. He didn't expect that things would collide with each other like this.
As I said before, Li Yong could not accompany Zhu Suosuo and the others tonight because he received a call from the publishing house.
Since the last supernatural book was published, it has sold 300,000 copies. This sales volume actually exceeded the publisher's expectations, and they have reprinted it twice.
That is to say, sales are gradually slowing down now, but it is expected that there will be at least 100,000 to 200,000 sales in the short term. After that, we will look at the long term. It is impossible to break through one million, but there is still hope for 500,000 or even 600,000. Give it a shot.
As a new author, this sales volume is really rare.
After all, it is no longer the golden age of physical books. It is already a big deal for many old authors to have sales of more than 200,000. New authors usually sell 50,000 or 100,000 for the first time. Many people just fall in love with it. In the first round of distribution, if the sales were not good enough, we shipped them directly.
Publishing houses like Li Yong will definitely push for new works without negotiation, especially for editors, as this is also related to performance bonuses.
If you can bring out a well-known writer, then you can also add glory to yourself.
The most important thing is that there will be tangible benefits. In this bustling world, most people are running for profit. If Li Yong didn't have this value, he wouldn't be able to press so hard.
"Ahem..." Huang Youcheng narrowed his eyes, and his face suddenly turned red.
Just now he was thinking about how to make Li Yong lower his head, but now his idea suddenly changed.
But first he has to know Li Yong's attitude. After all, he now knows that Li Yong is a person who doesn't like soft things... No, he doesn't like hard things. In this case, he has to be more patient.
He believed that no matter how precocious the other person was, he was still a young man and would still have the vanity that he should have, but it was just hidden well, so how could he please him?
However, he did not speak to Li Yong first. Instead, he said to the editor of the publishing house: "Well, to be honest, classmate Li Yong has been really busy recently. Not only has he been busy with studies recently, our school also held a class competition. He is the main force, so..."
When he mentioned studying, he twitched the corner of his mouth, thinking that everything else might be true, but this sentence was definitely false.
But good grades are the last word, and there is nothing else to say.
The editor first said "Ah" in surprise, and then suddenly laughed and said: "So that's it. I know that Teacher Li has always been very good. He even signed a record contract with the record company before. I didn't expect Teacher Li to be so good." versatile……"
Our teacher Li is really amazing!
He just happened to run into Gu Cheng and the others when he went to find Li Yong. He didn't know how Li Yong dealt with it later. Of course, there was a bit of flattery in it. He could write books and sing. , this body is full of artistic cells.
"ah?"
Of course Principal Huang knew about this, and he knew it relatively clearly. After all, Li Yong had discussed the issue of "Sea of Stars" with the school before.
It can be used by schools and allowed to be sung by students, but of course it cannot be used for commercial purposes.
This should be complied with. After all, they are not a university or a college that specializes in art. Moreover, the future development of students like Li Yong is unlimited, and famous alumni are scheduled to be booked. There is no need to offend him for some benefits. You have to have a long-term perspective.
Only Wei Wei was surprised, but no one paid attention to him at this time. After he subdued his surprise, he tacitly joined in the praise of Li Yong by Huang Youcheng and the editor of the publishing house.
The Kua Kua team is established!
Li Yong looked at his phone, then at Principal Huang, and then at Wei Wei, thinking that although these three people were not colluding, they were actually standing on a united front, and they were all touting themselves for different purposes. .
Naturally, he would not feel proud because of this. Instead, he felt a little speechless. He just watched their performance quietly to see if they would feel embarrassed.
But which one of these three people is not a member of the society? That is to say, the editor who led him is a little more junior, but he is also a veteran of the society. As long as they are not embarrassed, it will be Li Yong who is embarrassed.
In the end, Li Yong sighed and said: "Um... Principal, do you want to talk about the previous matter?"
Principal Huang seemed to have suddenly come back to his senses. Perhaps it had been a long time since he had used his powerful tongue and invincible licking skills.
"What's going on?" The editor was very curious and seemed to be wondering if he could help.
If Li Yong encounters any trouble and they help solve it, wouldn't the new book be available without urging?
Although Li Yong is indeed busy now and probably does not have time to write, Li Yong had previously discussed the idea of a new book in order to deal with the publishing house.
After having a framework and thinking about it a little bit, even if it still has to be delayed, at least they are sure that it is there, and they will feel more reassured.
Of course, what they care about most is actually wanting to cooperate with Li Yong for a long time, and this is one of the main reasons why Li Yong has been delaying his response.
He has ideas about publishing another book. In fact, he already has a manuscript and two beginnings. After all, he feels very efficient in everything he does now.
This depends on this strong body, which is also a great guarantee for his energy - especially compared to the previous world, he has been rebooting here for a long time, and it feels like this body is always full of energy. Basically it can distract him from doing many things.
Moreover, the work efficiency is also high, getting twice the result with half the effort.
It's just that the publishing house hopes to sign a long-term contract with him, which is something Li Yong can't accept. He doesn't even want to sign a contract. After all, he has no intention of being a writer for a long time-if that happens, he will just follow the publisher. If you can't make the album yourself, why should you give money to the publisher for free?
Why tie yourself into a framework when there are better and easier options?
Now is actually the stage where he is trying to get involved with the publishing house. After all, it is just a matter of fun. It would be nice to have a fixed partner. Li Yong is actually a person who is not willing to make changes easily. The premise is that no one wants to rush him. Follow him.
"Ahem..." However, it is definitely impossible for the principal to tell outsiders about a group fight among students. Although Wei Wei is a reporter, he is at the scene and is a friend. Huang Youcheng believes that he will not spread the word.
So he directly dropped the topic and just said with a smile: "Mr. Zhou, don't be so anxious. I believe that Li Yong will definitely give you an explanation after a while. Although this child can do everything, we can't give him any explanation." He's under too much pressure, so he still has to take his time with everything, right?"
Wei Wei naturally wanted to help his old friend at this time, and also smiled and said: "Editor Zhou, although we are just friends, we are still destined. I will write down your phone number later, and we will have time to talk. As for Li Yong, the school is now There's something else going on, why don't you talk about it later?
"Don't worry, I believe that Mr. Li will handle these things well. And one thing comes first. He should focus on studying now. At this age, other things are secondary. He is still young and will have plenty of time in the future. …”
Li Yong secretly rolled his eyes when he heard this. Everyone looked like his own parents.
The old youtiao is very particular about what he says and does. He seems to be making the decision for Li Yong, but in fact he is also making the decision for Li Yong - no, it should be said that he is standing up to speak for Li Yong, which can also be regarded as warning the person on the phone.
Everyone knows that they are urging for new books, and it is impossible to say that it is for Li Yong's good. Let alone Li Yong's current status as a student, he should really focus on learning. Other things like writing books, singing, playing basketball, R... It's secondary. Just saying that this book is easy to sell will not necessarily lead to a second copy.
Although he didn't know that this was Li Yong's tug-of-war with the publishing house, he had seen too many situations where shop owners bullied customers and exploited others for commercial gain.
He had to stand on Li Yong's side both emotionally and rationally. There was nothing wrong with that.
Editor Zhou couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, thinking in his mind that just a moment ago she was Xiao Tiantian, but in the blink of an eye she turned into Mrs. Niu and no longer wanted to see us.
But he also knew that his call was somewhat inappropriate, but it actually achieved some of his goals, so he smiled dryly and said a few words before hanging up the phone.
Then when Li Yong put his phone back in his pocket, he saw two pairs of eyes in front of him staring at him, especially Wei Wei, as if he was looking at some rare treasure, with a curiosity, research and discussion mentality.
It was Principal Huang who reacted first. He coughed lightly and said with a smile: "Well, Xiaoyong, what happened this time... Otherwise, let's ask for leave and just say internal injury... No, I have a concussion and I need to rest. How about a few days? The school will take care of the rest..."
No, sir, are you serious?
Li Yong watched the principal say such words seriously, and for a moment he couldn't tell whether he was joking or not.
Xiaoshuting app
Huang Youcheng's expression remained unchanged, as if he didn't think there was any problem with this.
"Then I...really went back?"
Who is Li Yong, how can he be polite to him, and he really feels that he needs to avoid the limelight, not that he is afraid of those people, but now it is the other person's turn to be afraid of him.
I'll probably have to take a detour if I meet him in school in the future. After all, Li Yong can really fight and he really dares to fight.
It's just that a fight happened, and no one wanted to do it. Li Yong knew that he didn't suffer. What's more important now is that he disappeared for a while to give the principal a chance to deal with it.
It is estimated that he didn't want to do this at first, and maybe he even wanted to take the opportunity to suppress Li Yong's arrogance. After all, students in school still have to listen to the principal and teachers, and he would definitely feel that it would be a little bit tougher for young people. Elan is good for him.
These people are like this, shouting that children should have some individuality, but at the same time trying to kill this individuality.
Especially Li Yong, if he doesn't cause trouble, it will be a big deal, which makes him a little scared.
No matter what, the school still has to focus on stability.
But Editor Zhou's call suddenly raised Li Yong's status in his mind. Although he still didn't know exactly what the book was about, it didn't stop him from raising Li Yong's priority in his heart.
Of course, this kind of talent school requires coaxing. The school is sometimes very social, and the social aspect is reality. If you have strength and value, you deserve to be praised.
Otherwise, it would be like those players in Class 10, who would suffer a loss after being beaten up by a fat man, and there would be nothing to say.
Of course, the rest time is a good thing for Li Yong himself, as it allows him to go back to deal with the company's affairs.
And this break will be very long, because it will be the May Day holiday in a few days, so Li Yong simply continues to take the break so that he can do more things, such as checking out the progress of the album production and attending sports events. Those things.
Well, there is also the matter of Tangtian Group.
After all, he is only one person and has too many things to do, so sometimes he has to make some choices.
Fortunately, the priorities have been clearly identified and arranged. Now that I don't have to rush to get there, it's actually more relaxed.
As for how the principal plans to end this matter, Li Yong can actually guess it.
Although this matter will definitely be suppressed and turned into a major issue, it is impossible to completely hide things like fights, and it may even have spread now, so there must be punishments, and everyone must remember the punishment. , in addition, there must be substantive penalties for them to be more vigilant.
That is, they don't have to play the next game. Just like in the basketball league, vicious incidents can also lead to suspensions. Their punishment will be more serious, their qualifications will be directly cancelled, and their previous results will be lost.
This is a good thing for the other four teams. After losing two strong enemies, they can directly compete for the top three.
Of course, for both Classes 1 and 2 of Senior High School and Class 10 and 10 of Senior High School, settling things down is the safest choice for everyone. In this situation, the class competition is not that important anymore.
But as soon as Li Yong walked out of the principal's office, he saw Wei Wei following him all the way up and called him out before he went downstairs.
