Lu Yuan really crossed over to become a writer!
Lu Yuan’s book signing event is coming!
Lu Yuan’s novel sales exploded on the first day!
Generally speaking, what has happened on the Internet in the past few days can be summarized in these three sentences...
The sudden release of the physical book of "The Legend of Wukong" shocked netizens for a while, but after the shock, they showed an expression of "as expected" on their faces...
To be honest, Lu Yuan's crossing over to become a writer is not really big news, and it doesn't seem that incredible.
This is normal.
Generally, popular traffic-obsessed stars, even young stars like Han Lu, have written an autobiographical novel called "My Ten Years", and sold 70,000 copies on the day of the book signing event, which once made people think that Han Lu's book could become a small hit...
Everyone was looking forward to the sales of this book, and the group of fans even shouted out inflated slogans such as "Our Han Lu has become one of the few successful cross-border writers in the entertainment industry, our Han Lu has both moral integrity and artistic talent, our Han Lu is invincible in the world..." and so on.
When the publishing house saw this, it immediately asked the factory to print another 300,000 copies, hoping that sales would explode again the next day.
However, fantasy is often beautiful, but reality is always cruel.
The sales on the second day disappointed the publisher and fans, and the sales even dropped sharply to 20,000 copies that day.
Yes, 20,000 copies!
Damn it!
That’s all?
They printed more than 300,000 copies!
The sales volume generated on the third day shocked everyone. The sales volume dropped below 10,000 and the online reputation was extremely bad.
Basically, they are all cursing, cursing Han Lu's book for being meaningless, cursing the book for showing off some egoism, cursing Han Lu's writing for being a piece of crap...
Anyway, no matter how the publishing house and Han Lu signed and gave away books, or how they advertised, the book just wouldn’t sell. As a result, after more than a month, the total sales volume was less than 200,000, and the 100,000 copies in stock were all lost...
So why did so many sell on the first day?
Nonsense, the star effect. Although Han Lu is a young star with no representative works, he has a terrifying number of fans on the Internet. If he stands out and promotes it, won’t these fans be excited? Who needs these twenty yuan?
However, in the novel industry, it’s not just your popularity that makes you successful; the key still lies in the content.
You write like crap. Even if you are extremely popular, you can only consume your fan base on the first day. The market will be very fair afterwards.
Therefore, after the sales of "The Legend of Sun Wukong" exceeded 200,000 copies on the first day, the shocking feeling was not strong.
Who is Lu Yuan?
Lu Yuan is the big headline crossover devil in the entire Chinese entertainment industry!
So far, apart from the TV drama industry, there is really no other place in the entertainment industry where he has not caused harm.
Almost everyone who could come has come.
So, is it normal for him to cross over and become a writer? Normal!
Is his popularity terrifying?
Maybe last year Han Lu could still have some anal sex with Lu Yuan, but this year he has fallen into a terrifying situation where he is completely dominated by Lu Yuan. Moreover, Lu Yuan has a very wide range of fans. Is it strange that he sells 200,000 copies a day?
It's not surprising at all. With his popularity, it's not surprising to sell 250,000 copies. 200,000 copies is really too ordinary for Lu Yuan.
Seven o'clock in the morning.
Some people in the entertainment industry opened the entertainment news and saw that there were indeed a bunch of people cursing Lu Yuan's "Wukong Zhuan" on Weibo and entertainment headlines...
"How can we ruin the essence of our Chinese classics like this, The Legend of Wukong? You can adapt it, but you can't make it up. It's okay to add some artistic color, but you can't ruin the classics directly. You can make a joke, but you can't make it up! Some people, I just want to ask you, do you understand Journey to the West? I admit that you are talented, but do you know how many young people your book will mislead? Do you know..."
"On behalf of our Writers Association, I criticize these rebellious elements who disrespect classics. On behalf of..."
"Teacher Liu is right. I don't like Lu Yuan in the first place. It's fine that he's jumping around in the entertainment industry, but now he wants to enter the novel industry? Who do you think you are!"
"Yeah, I agree with what Teacher Liu said. Classics can't be ruined like this. I used to have a good impression of Lu Yuan, but now after hearing what Teacher Liu said, I suddenly find that I hate Lu Yuan. He is so self-righteous just because he has some talent... Tsk tsk!"
"right!"
"That's what I think..."
After seeing this series of insults, netizens couldn’t help but think of the incident with Han Lu’s novel.
The criticism this time was even louder than that against Han Lu. After all, it was the well-known traditional writer, poet, and critic Liu Zhenqing who personally posted on Weibo to criticize Lu Yuan.
Although traditional writers cannot compare to some young writers in terms of novel sales, they have a solid foundation, high standards, and a strong reputation in the literary world...
Liu Zhenqing is the most popular writer among these traditional writers. He dares to criticize and yell. He once wanted to write an article to criticize the entertainment industry, criticize the current situation of the entertainment industry, criticize those young actors who only rely on their looks to make a living and have no talent, and criticize movies as shit. He even criticized Lu Yuan's "This Man From Earth"...
Of course, that was before "This Man From Earth" was released. After the movie was released, Liu Zhenqing received fewer criticisms.
After all, "This Man From Earth" is at its peak, and no matter how much he scolds it, it will be useless.
With him taking the lead, naturally a group of young writers also attacked Lu Yuan, and there were countless curses. Many netizens who did not know the truth also followed suit...
After all, traditional writers have already cursed like this, so it’s normal for them to curse a few words to satisfy their own desires, right?
A literati!
It was normal for scholars to look down on each other, and after reading Liu Zhenqing's Weibo, they also felt that Lu Yuan was a person who was ruining the classics...
Lu Yuan’s fans naturally won’t agree!
Naturally, they were extremely angry, and without saying anything, they all started to curse at each other, and one group even started to bring up Liu Zhenqing’s dark history…
In short, the Internet was in a state of chaos.
Netizens really think that the plot is similar to Han Lu’s.
Familiar plot, familiar scenes!
Although Lu Yuan has an absolute advantage in popularity on the Internet, netizens still feel that Lu Yuan has failed in his cross-border attempt.
Sales volume doesn't mean anything.
A writer needs the support of real readers rather than a bunch of brainless fans.
…
"Editor-in-Chief Yang, something bad has happened. A bunch of traditional writers have caught Lu Yuan and scolded him severely. I suggest that we reduce the print run from 100,000 to 50,000 tomorrow to be on the safe side!"
"Tomorrow you notify the publishing house and print an additional 300,000 copies!"
"What? Editor-in-Chief Yang, didn't you hear what I just told you? I mean, it's exploded on the Internet. Lu Yuan now has a bad reputation in the traditional writer circle!"
"I heard it clearly. I know that Lu Yuan was scolded by Mr. Liu on the Internet. However, Mr. Liu cannot represent all traditional writers, let alone readers..."
"This... Editor-in-Chief Yang, I think we should be a little more conservative. Three hundred thousand copies, I thought of Han Lu in the past... If the sales volume drops tomorrow, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to survive!"
"I said, Mr. Liu cannot represent all writers, nor can he represent all readers, and Lu Yuan is not Han Lu..."
“Will this be risky?”
"Believe in Lu Yuan's talent. Maybe things will turn around tomorrow."
"Editor-in-Chief Yang, why are you so confident?"
"It's not my confidence, but I know Lu Yuan is not an ordinary person, and this "Wukong Biography" is not a rubbish book. You haven't read his book, right?"
"yes……"
"You can go and have a look..."
"good!"
After Yang Susu watched the deputy editor-in-chief leave, she took off her glasses and rubbed her eyes slightly.
Is this a risky decision?
No……
Then she looked out the window at the rising sunlight.
Lu Yuan's silly smile appeared in her mind.
She laughed.
…
Around four o'clock in the afternoon, Wang Jinxue came to the driving practice field and saw Lu Yuan practicing driving clumsily but seriously. A smile appeared on her face.
Serious men are the most attractive. Even if this man is not handsome, it does not affect Wang Jinxue's perception.
In fact, after spending such a long time with Lu Yuan, Wang Jinxue felt more of a sense of security.
Yes, a sense of security.
Lu Yuan is different from those stars who become fickle and have affairs with all kinds of women once they become famous. At least Wang Jinxue knows that Lu Yuan has always kept his pure heart.
This in itself is not easy.
She held an umbrella and watched Lu Yuan quietly as he learned to drive, but he failed again and again when trying to reverse into a parking space...
When Lu Yuan smiled, she felt very happy. When Lu Yuan looked annoyed, she felt a little uncomfortable.
In short, I just quietly waited for Lu Yuan to fail again and again, and to try again and again...
About an hour later, as the sun gradually set in the west, Lu Yuan, who had failed countless times, finally succeeded in backing the car into a garage...
Lu Yuan was happy.
She was happy too.
Although Lu Yuan's talent for cars is really average, he works harder than anyone else.
This effort is really contagious...
After succeeding once, Lu Yuan seemed to be like a fish in water, and he poured it several times and each time was perfect.
He finally succeeded and finally mastered the technique of reversing into a parking space.
Although……
He practiced this project for two full days.
More than ten minutes later.
Lu Yuan walked out and saw Wang Jinxue standing at the door.
"Why are you here today? Where is Wu Tingting?" Lu Yuan was quite surprised.
"I just happened to be free so I came to take a look."
"Well... I have to admit that I may not be very talented when it comes to cars. It seems that my body coordination is not good enough."
"You're just lacking exercise. You haven't been to the gym lately."
"How do you know?"
"Don't you know I see you every day?"
"Haha, okay... Actually, I also had a lot of trouble learning those fitness moves..."
"Take your time... No one can be perfect..."
"Indeed." Lu Yuan nodded and got into Wang Jinxue's Lamborghini.
After getting in the car, Lu Yuan's mind was full of clutch and brake...
As he thought about it, he became a little confused.
It seems that it is impossible to pass the test this month, and the driver’s license will definitely have to wait until next month.
Brando is coming on the 20th of this month. Brando...
That's pretty cruel.
"Lu Yuan...are you okay..." Wang Jinxue saw Lu Yuan looking out the window with a dazed look in his eyes, and she became a little worried.
The impression Lu Yuan gave her was always that of a jerk, and he had never been so confused before.
"I'm fine, what's wrong?"
“Sometimes you don’t have to care about things on the Internet…”
"On the Internet? I don't care..." Lu Yuan shook his head.
"Oh, that's good."
Just at this moment Lu Yuan's cell phone rang.
Lu Yuan answered the phone...
"Fatty Wei, what's going on? What? Someone scolded me?"
"It's not normal to call me a traitor..."
“You said a great writer scolded me?”
"It's not like I'll lose a piece of flesh if I curse at you, so why fight back? There are so many people cursing at me online, who is he? He has to wait in line!"
"Cowardly? Why? I'll take a closer look at what happened later... Maybe I should even send him a letter of praise to thank him for promoting me... Being scolded by others may not be a bad thing, right..."
“…”
Wang Jinxue glanced at the sassy look on Lu Yuan's face.
She suddenly realized that she had worried for nothing.
That's right.
Since Lu Yuan debuted, nothing else seems to have changed, except his face, which has been weathered by many blows and has become as thick as a city wall.
