Chapter 112 Satisfied Readers
Those old readers who had previously vowed that they would not read Nan Gezi's new book now said that it was "really good" after reading "Those Years".
The main reason is that the beginning of this youth novel is really interesting, giving readers a very relaxed and humorous feeling.
There is no deep hatred, tragic love, or melodramatic routine.
On the contrary, the casually sketched campus scenes and small details that make people smile can naturally evoke the youthful memories of older readers and resonate strongly.
As for readers who are about the same age as the characters in the novel and are still in school, they are the main force of reading youth novels. As a result, some people couldn't help but sigh -
"My youth is over! Finally, a true youth novel has appeared on the market. It's a breath of fresh air!"
"I've long wanted to read this kind of realistic youth novel that's close to our campus life. Unfortunately, even if someone wrote it before, it wasn't very popular. As time went by, fewer and fewer people wrote it. I hope "Those Years" can be a huge hit and become a benchmark in the field of youth novels."
"Only with Nan Gezi's writing skills can she make ordinary campus life so interesting and vivid, and portray the characters so vividly."
"I heard that 'Those Years' will be serialized daily. The thought of seeing its updates every day makes students feel so happy!"
…
In fact, if there were only Nan Gezi’s old readers and readers who already liked youth novels, it would be impossible for Nan Gezi’s new book to have such a buzz right after its release.
Only when the novel has more words and its reputation is thoroughly established, can it really take off. After all, its quality is beyond doubt.
But who made Gu Qingge's real account use himself as bait to attract traffic to Nan Gezi's new book?
"Fans", spectators and even haters have all flocked to this work.
Of course, the "fans" wanted to learn more about Gu Qingge's past.
After all, apart from releasing songs, Gu Qingge rarely markets or hypes herself, and her exposure is extremely low. She has only appeared on the variety show "Creation 101" so far.
This made her fans complain that their behind-the-scenes team was too lame and they wouldn't even buy trending searches.
When fans are chasing stars, of course they want to know every aspect of their idols, and it would be best if they can find materials to praise them. In this way, they will have more confidence to recommend them to others.
Not to mention that some younger fans like to compare their favorite stars with each other. If they want their favorite stars to surpass others, they have to come up with something convincing.
After watching "Those Years", the "fans" were naturally very surprised. They really didn't expect that Gu Qingge was more talented than they imagined!
She clearly has a lot of good things hidden away!
What makes fans most curious now is the collection of poems about "Lu Manwu" mentioned by Nan Gezi in the novel. It seems that any poem picked out of it is amazing.
Fans went to Gu Qingge's Weibo to verify the news, hoping that she could show her manuscript.
However, Gu Qingge started to play dumb again. She remained silent, as if she had no idea who "Lu Manwu" was.
In fact, Gu Qingge didn't have any poetry collection at all, but she could write it on the spot. Don't forget that she also had master-level calligraphy skills.
The gossip-loving party watches "Those Years" specifically to satisfy their own curiosity.
When they found out that the heroine's name was "Lu Manwu", they immediately became excited!
No matter how you look at it, the name "Lu Manwu" is derived from "Gu Qingge".
Then there are indeed many details about "Lu Manwu" in the book, as if the author Nan Gezi really knows every hair on her body.
The gossip lovers all expressed their satisfaction and hoped that Teacher Nan Gezi could increase her efforts!
Of course, some people who eat melons are confused and say, "I'm here to eat melons, why am I reading the novel so enthusiastically?"
That’s right, many people who eat melons forgot that they came to eat melons in the end, and instead became loyal readers of "Those Years"!
This is the effect Gu Qingge wants to achieve.
As for Gu Qingge’s haters, they were of course very excited too.
Because in Nan Gezi's writing, although "Lu Manwu" is extremely talented, some of his behaviors can definitely be used to extract negative information.
For example, Lu Manwu never caters to others and always does her own thing. She likes to slap others in the face and never gives others face at all.
She will firmly do what she thinks is right and will not care about other people's feelings or opinions.
People with this kind of personality are very likely to attract bad luck.
However, this way of portraying the character makes it more realistic, because perfect people do not exist in reality, and some flaws make her more flesh and blood.
In addition, she also likes to show off her strength. No matter what happens, she is used to bearing it alone and does not like to seek help from others.
Her character is actually somewhat similar to that of "Yukinoshita Yukino".
When Gu Qingge was writing this novel, he of course also drew inspiration from "My Youth Romantic Comedy Is Wrong, As I Expected". The male protagonist "Fu Jingnan" incorporated some of the great teacher's memes, and the female protagonist "Lu Manwu" was based on Yukinoshita Yukino.
However, the ending of Great Teacher and Yukino is still very sweet, but Fu Jingnan and Lu Manwu are destined to have no result.
It has been said that Gu Qingge is going to be ruthless to the readers this time.
The beginning of this novel is definitely light-hearted, humorous and interesting.
The interaction between the male and female protagonists is also very tacit and warm, like feeding dog food.
All in all, the gradually warming relationship between them will make readers full of expectations.
But as the plot develops, the ending will definitely be very "healing".
Gu Qingge relied on her pseudonym and didn't care how the readers would riot. Everything was Nan Gezi's fault. What did it have to do with her, Gu Qingge?
In addition, Gu Qingge would not admit that she was the prototype of "Lu Manwu".
Lu Manwu has an idealistic personality and she will never compromise in her pursuit of the right path.
Gu Qingge is different. She is essentially a player, and what she pursues is to improve her own level.
As for whether her methods were too cruel in the process, she didn't care. She would not be bound by any rules and regulations.
Just like this work "Those Years", Gu Qingge used it to consume himself unscrupulously and fooled the readers around.
However, readers will firmly believe that she is not much different from "Lu Manwu" in real life.
Once this character is established, Gu Qingge can naturally slap others in the face more directly. Don’t ask why, the answer is just that he is straightforward.
Nan Gezi used this sentence to describe Lu Manwu in the book:
One day I will raise my glass to my audacity, my courage, my integrity, and my uncontrollable tears.
