Wen Ying's words really touched the hearts of most of the students.
No one would refuse to write a bestseller!
Even Mu Fan, who is now trying to transform himself into writing "deep" works, began to reflect on himself after hearing Wen Ying's words.
Why must "depth" and "best-selling" be opposed to each other? Can't a book be both profound and best-selling?
Some writers who are famous for their portrayal of human nature also have very high sales... If you can't have both, it ultimately comes down to the writer's lack of level, and it has nothing to do with the readers.
Mu Fan suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He had been against the publishing house a lot in the past two years. It was rare that the publishing house was willing to tolerate him!
After class today, I should take the initiative to contact the editor, apologize to the editor, and then calmly discuss the selection of materials for this book.
Mu Fan led the applause, and the other students followed suit.
Writer Shui Mingyue, sitting in the front row of Wenying, smiled shyly as she shared an old story that had troubled her for a long time. "Once, I attended an event organized by the Provincial Writers Association. An old writer stopped me and asked what the point of writing romance novels was. I told him that I could support myself by writing novels. He said that wasn't the point, and asked what kind of development my novels could bring to society. This question really stumped me. For a long time, I reflected on whether I had made a mistake writing romance novels... If only I had heard Xiaoyu's words sooner. My books are indeed not profound enough, but I follow the simple value of "good is rewarded and evil is punished." Good people reap beautiful love, while bad people end up in a miserable end. Is this a subtle influence on readers?"
Wen Ying knows Shui Mingyue.
Shui Mingyue is called the little queen of Chinese romance by the media. Her readers are generally young, mostly middle school students. Even Wen Ying was a member of her huge student readership in her previous life!
People like Wen Ying are not liked by He Xin, and the same is true for Shui Mingyue.
However, the first bird to stick its head out gets shot. Wen Ying attracted most of the firepower, and Teacher He Xin didn't have time to hit other students.
Shui Mingyue may have been speaking from inspiration, or perhaps she sensed something from He Xin's words and actions. She stood up and spoke at this time, not only to support Wen Ying, but also to speak for herself!
As expected, Teacher He Xin on the podium had a blank expression on her face. Wen Ying, secretly pleased, responded loudly, "Of course it counts. Shui Da, you have such a large readership, even I am one of your readers. Do you think your book has a big influence?"
Shui Mingyue was surprised and delighted, "...Xiaoyu, are you reading my book too?"
"Look, I bought a lot of them when I was in junior high!"
Wen Ying said this and listed a few book titles.
Wen Ying hadn't lied. During the three years of junior high before her rebirth, she had indeed been a devoted reader of his. Back then, she didn't dare bring the novels home, so she gave them all to her cousin, Wen Kai, for safekeeping. Those books are still at Wen Kai's house!
Mu Fan started to tease, "You finally get to meet your favorite writer, why don't you ask for his autograph?"
Wen Ying took out the notebook and pen she had prepared long ago, "Of course I want an autograph. I'm a greedy person. I don't just want Shui Da's autograph, I want the autographs of other students as well. Let me make a deal, after class I'll be waiting at the classroom door. I'll let one out if you sign one. Don't even think about leaving without a signature!"
Mu Fan snatched the notebook away with a smile. "You don't have to be a highwayman. I'll sign it for you right now. Tonight, I'll brag on my blog about how 'Fish Against the Current' begged me for an autograph. Anyway, you're more famous than me, so I won't suffer any loss!"
Laughter broke out in the classroom.
Everyone was a little reserved at first, but this smile immediately brought them closer.
Among all the students in this period, Wen Ying does not have the highest total novel sales, but she is the most popular. Others are more or less worried that Wen Ying is difficult to get along with.
I never expected Wen Ying to be such a funny person.
Mu Fan was also a very competent supporting actor. He and Wen Ying sang in unison, instantly heating up the atmosphere of the entire classroom.
Everyone was laughing, but He Xin on the podium had a dark face.
In fact, it’s not that the students disrespect Teacher He, but everyone feels that Wen Ying and Shui Mingyue’s speeches are enough.
What else can I do? Should I just degrade myself to the ground and say that the works I wrote are completely devoid of nutrition?
Stop kidding.
Most of these people have good book sales, and are praised by publishers and coaxed by readers. It is very restrained for them not to be proud and arrogant. They really don't take the initiative to belittle their perverted hobbies!
There are a few students who do not follow the path of bestsellers and prefer serious literature.
These few students really approve of He Xin. Although they don't say it, they look down on Wen Ying and other best-selling authors who work hard to please readers.
However, this group of students did not have the majority in number, so they had to obey the majority and suppress their true thoughts!
He Xin was so angry at the group of idiots led by Wen Ying that he quickly finished the rest of the story and left. He didn't want to see Wen Ying's smug face.
Wen Ying kept her word and really blocked the classroom door to ask for an autograph.
After Shui Mingyue signed, Wen Ying whispered "thank you". Shui Mingyue blinked and said, "You're welcome. After all, the lips and teeth are cold~"
Shui Mingyue is a girl from the south. She has a delicate appearance, speaks softly, and looks quite shy.
It turns out he is also a white-cut black!
Wen Ying was amused and turned to tell Mu Fan, "I have a feeling that I will get along well with my classmates!"
Mu Fan asked her seriously, "Is it the same as your premonition that Teacher He would like you?"
Wen Ying glared at him, "Why are you bringing up something else?"
At dinner time in the evening, Shui Mingyue naturally appeared at Wen Ying and Mu Fan's table.
Wen Ying was not stingy and took out some snacks made by Mrs. Peng to share with her new friends. Shui Mingyue tasted some and smiled with her eyes narrowed into slits: "It's delicious. Where did you buy it?"
"I didn't buy it. It was given to me by an elder."
Shui Mingyue said "oh" and was very embarrassed. "Can I have one more piece?"
With Shui Mingyue's income, she can afford any kind of snacks. She doesn't want to take advantage of Wen Ying, she really thinks the snacks are delicious.
At some point, other writers sat down at the table.
We were all young people and became familiar with each other while chatting.
One of the male writers was quite familiar with Mu Fan, and when talking about royalties, he made fun of Mu Fan for being a miser.
Mu Fan made a lot of money in the past few years thanks to the royalties from his novels. When he first made the money, he spent lavishly for a while. After getting his driver's license, he even rewarded himself with a sports car.
"It was exciting and exciting for a few days at first, but after driving it for a while, I realized it was just like that. The sports car has a low ride height, and I was afraid of scratching it wherever I went. It was so troublesome!"
Buying a car was boring, so Mu Fan used the money to buy a house.
This guy has bought houses in all the top cities in the country, including Beijing.
When he became famous for his books, Wen Ying hadn't yet entered the industry, and housing prices were even lower. Mu Fan used his own house in Beijing as an example: "Compared to when I bought it, the price of the house in the same neighborhood has tripled. Isn't that shocking?"
