Hou Wenjie had no idea that Xiang Nai was having so much on her mind.
He was relieved after confirming that Xiang Nai wasn't there to cause him trouble.
What he needs to do now is consider the transformation of Magic Bean Bookstore.
Since there's no future in offline channels, we'll have to go online!
Magic Bean Bookstore?
Hou Wenjie thought about the youth film series he was about to prepare, and it seemed like he could build a Magic Bean Community.
The layout is designed with 【Homepage】, 【Featured】, 【Original Content】, and 【My Account】.
On the homepage, you can see [Following], [Novel Library], [Original Submissions], and [Film Library].
The main focus of this community is young adult novels. Currently, the books in the bookstore have full copyrights to Hedao, which can be directly added to the library.
He could easily attract a group of readers from the island through these books and get them to recharge their Magic Beans.
If they feel that just reading isn't enough, they can submit their work to the [Original Content Square] and earn money from it.
For some of the better-written works, Magic Bean Society will even buy the rights to adapt them into film or television!
The Modou community can fully realize an internal circulation of youth novels and youth films.
If you think of it, you should do it!
Hou Wenjie was a decisive person. He made a phone call to the headquarters of the Magic Bean Society, a two-story building behind the Magic Bean Bar.
Hui Gu Qian Yue answered the phone: "Hello, President, what are your instructions?"
Hou Wenjie said, "I plan to create a Magic Bean Community, which will be divided into a novel section and a film section."
All the novels in my current Magic Bean Bookstore will be imported into the novel library of the Magic Bean community, and all novels will be available on a paid basis.
In addition to the novels published in our bookstore, we also accept original submissions, which are paid accordingly.
Then there's the film library. We don't buy the copyrights from other companies; we only upload our own youth films.
I believe that if this community continues to operate, one day our film library will be incredibly abundant!
Hui Gu Qian Yue replied, "President, I understand what you mean. There are corresponding templates for such communities, and we can set them up in a few days."
"Okay, get started on it." Hou Wenjie hung up the phone.
Sitting to the side, Xiang Nai had actually been observing Hou Wenjie the whole time.
She realized that she had really miscalculated. Hou Wenjie's previous words were not a trick to get her to cooperate; he really didn't care about her!
Is she really that unattractive? That can't be right.
After thinking it over, Chanel decided to take the initiative.
So she went to where the tea leaves and cups were placed and poured two cups of black tea.
Then she slowly walked to Hou Wenjie's side and whispered, "Wenjie, I made you a cup of tea too."
"Ah...oh, thank you!" Hou Wenjie was just planning the next step of the Magic Bean Society's development when he noticed Xiang Nai standing next to him.
Chanel asked sweetly, "May I sit here?"
"Of course." Hou Wenjie felt he had no reason to refuse.
Chanel started a conversation: "Wenjie's shop doesn't seem to be doing too well?"
"Yes, it's much worse than before. I'm planning to close the store soon."
Because subconsciously, Xiang Nai was the protagonist of his book, Hou Wenjie felt a natural sense of closeness and casually expressed his thoughts.
"Ah... I'm sorry, Wenjie-kun, I shouldn't have brought this up," Xiangna quickly apologized again.
Hou Wenjie waved his hand: "Actually, the decline of physical books is inevitable. The closure of Magic Bean Bookstore may not be a bad thing. I'm already preparing to build an online bookstore."
"Are you also selling youth-themed books?" As soon as Xiang Nai asked, her face turned a little red, and she covered her face with her hand in embarrassment.
Hou Wenjie smiled, quite frankly:
"Yes, all the books from Magic Bean Bookstore will be available on this bookstore."
Chanel blushed and said, "That's great. Besides running the shop, does Wenjie have any other hobbies?"
"I write novels online."
"Does Wenjie also have a literary dream?" A hint of joy at finding a kindred spirit bloomed on Xiangna's pretty face as she whispered:
"My childhood dream was to become a famous novelist or a famous actor."
Because I feel that both of these professions are dream weavers, allowing people to break through the limitations of reality and travel to wonderful worlds.
Novelists bring their fantasies to life on paper, transforming words into adorable little sprites that guide readers through their world and allow them to experience the wonders of different cultures and customs.
Actors, on the other hand, use their emotions to move people in the art of light and shadow, making everything seem real and authentic.
…Unfortunately, I later discovered that I simply didn't have the talent to be a novelist, so I chose to become an actor.
Hou Wenjie laughed and said, "Being able to choose your childhood dream as your career is a very cool thing. Can you talk about your acting experience?"
Hou Wenjie suddenly felt a desire to explore the woman in front of him; perhaps it was her words, "dream weaver," that moved him.
Because he remembered so clearly that the young author had written in his personal signature on the Fanshu website: "A diligent writer, weaving a world of fantasy."
Hou Wenjie's eyes met Xiang Nai's eyes, which were gentle and clear like water, like a calm lake with ripples on the surface, clear and beautiful.
The poet said, "Water is like the horizontal waves of eyes, mountains are like the gathered peaks of brows. If you ask a traveler where they are going, they will answer: to where the eyes and brows are brimming with affection."
At that moment, Hou Wenjie almost had the illusion of being immersed in the still lake; the feeling was so wonderful, yet fleeting.
Like a pebble dropped into a calm lake, a hint of sadness flickered in Chanel's eyes:
"I am a new actor, and it is really difficult for new actors to get good roles."
Some time ago, I received a role in a TV series called "The Fallen Angel," and I was even playing the female lead, which made me very happy.
I play Xiaomei, a girl who grew up in an orphanage and works hard in the big city of Kyoto as a model. She has a photographer boyfriend. After getting drunk one night, her boyfriend offers himself to a high-ranking executive at his company in exchange for resources. From then on, Xiaomei's life goes down a path of depravity.
This is not a likable character, and the total screen time is only a few episodes.
But I still decided to take the role because it's very difficult for a newcomer to play the female lead. However, I later discovered that it wasn't like that at all.
I was quickly informed that my role had been replaced after I refused the producer's suggestion to sleep with him.
I was completely stunned at the time, feeling like I wanted to cry and also like I wanted to laugh.
It suddenly dawned on me that if I actually agreed to the producer's suggestion, wouldn't that mean that Xiao Mei from the TV show would be brought into reality?
Like Xiaomei in the script, I will become a tool that is easily sold out, wandering among strange men just to gain fame?
Just thinking about these things sends chills down my spine…
