Chapter 160 I’m sweating profusely
Qianzhou didn't know how he finished his meal.
Although he was on the way here by high-speed rail from Changning City, he was already prepared to meet Yuan Wanqing in person.
But he never imagined that he would meet the celebrity in person in this way.
During the whole meal, he didn't have the courage to look up. As the editor, he should have been the first to say something, but in the end, he didn't say a word.
It’s really that Yuan Wanqing’s aura is too strong.
Although she was wearing home clothes and had no makeup on, her overall temperament looked very gentle.
But when he thought that the other person was a big star, Qianzhou didn't know what to say.
He is just a corporate slave who has been working for less than half a year.
In contrast, Li Luo next to him looked calm and composed. He ate slowly and chatted with Yuan Wanqing.
Talking about some daily things in school, sharing some of Yan Zhusheng’s school life.
In this comparison, Li Luo is the one who has seen the world.
But when Yuan Wanqing asked: "So, for example, if Li Luo's novel is put on your platform, what level would it be?"
At this time, Li Luo suddenly stopped talking.
Qianzhou blinked in confusion before realizing that he was being asked this question.
So he quickly responded: "Rekindling is already very impressive."
"His books are classified as urban books. Our website has a monthly ticket mechanism, and every reader can vote for their favorite books."
"He is now ranked third in the monthly ticket rankings for the urban category."
"That is to say, just this month, he is one of the top three readers who like to read urban novels on the entire website."
After talking about his area of expertise, Qianzhou finally spoke more fluently.
In front of Yuan Wanqing, he was not stingy with his words and praised Li Luo to the sky.
"Then this interview will be helpful to him as well, right?" Yuan Wanqing asked again.
She accepted the interview invitation from Wenyue Group this time just to repay Li Luo.
If it doesn't help Li Luo himself much, then it won't be of much significance.
"It will definitely help." Qianzhou nodded repeatedly, "After all, you have a lot of traffic now. As long as you can help promote his novel once, it is estimated that his data will skyrocket."
"What do you think, Li Luo?" Yuan Wanqing looked at Li Luo again.
After all, she had already heard about it from people at Wenyue Group, but this kind of thing still needed to be clear to Li Luo herself.
"Thank you Aunt Yuan for your support." Li Luo forced a smile. "This will definitely be of great help to my novel. After all, the more people read it, the more royalties I will get."
But if he had a choice, Li Luo would rather Yuan Wanqing didn't know that he was writing a novel.
But now that things have come to this, Li Luo is just thinking about it.
Things have come to this point, so of course we should take as much benefit as we can.
After all, it was Aunt Yuan's kindness, so I just have to bear it.
"I've never read this kind of novel before. It feels quite novel." Yuan Wanqing looked at Li Luo, then at Qianzhou, and asked curiously, "Like this kind of, um... time travel? That's how it should be said, right?"
"Travel to another world, and then become a big star step by step by copying various real-life works."
"This idea is indeed quite fresh. Do many people like to read it?" Qianzhou glanced at Li Luo. Seeing that he didn't say anything, he nodded and said, "In our online literature, this is called entertainment novel, which is related to the entertainment industry."
"After all, celebrities in real life are very glamorous. At least on the surface, it seems that they can make money easily, show their faces in front of the public, be loved by many people, and gain a lot of fans."
"So everyone has a little dream of becoming a star in their heart. Even though it can't be realized in reality, you can always fantasize about it in novels."
Yuan Wanqing nodded in understanding, and then asked another question nonchalantly: "So, if the male protagonist likes several girls, it's also something that many people like to see, right?"
As soon as these words came out.
Li Luo was immediately sweating profusely.
Qianzhou next to him also opened his mouth, feeling a little embarrassed, and coughed several times: "Well, well... it's human nature for men and women to love each other. In ancient times, emperors had three palaces and six courtyards, and many male readers have the idea of having concubines on their left and right."
“So it’s understandable that authors cater to the preferences of their audience a little bit in order to create content that readers will like.”
"After all, in reality, everyone is likely to meet several girls who leave a deep impression on them in their lifetime."
"But in the end you may only be able to choose one or the other, or even not have the right to choose."
"Online fiction is a kind of fantasy literature that is created to satisfy readers' fantasies that cannot be realized in reality."
"So... um... the situation you're talking about does exist, but the protagonist's behavior and thoughts in the book may not be the same as the author himself."
Qianzhou explained a lot with sweat all over his forehead, and Li Luo couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.
Yan Zhusheng on the side looked at Qianzhou, then at Li Luo, stretched out his chopsticks and picked up a piece of meat for Li Luo.
Yuan Wanqing smiled, and it was impossible to tell what she was feeling or thinking. She didn't express any opinions, but just brushed it off lightly and said, "The song "Annual Rings", from the comments online, should have been written in Li Luo's book, right?"
"Right." Li Luo nodded. "Originally it was just a small episode to deal with the side storyline. When I was writing it, inspiration came to me, so I wrote a song."
"Do you plan to include your other songs in the book?" Yuan Wanqing asked again.
"He has other songs?!" Before Li Luo could respond, Qianzhou beside him opened his mouth in surprise, "You can really write songs?"
Originally, Qianzhou thought that Li Luo just had a sudden flash of inspiration and came up with the song "Annual Rings".
But who would have thought that in addition to writing novels, this guy could also write songs on a continuous basis?
"I think... I will consider writing it in." Li Luo said ambiguously, "Aunt Yuan is worried that I will write the two songs I sold to you into the book before they are published?"
"I'm not worried about that." Yuan Wanqing smiled and then said, "I'm just thinking that if the effect of this promotion is good, then this may become a stable promotion point."
"I haven't been back to China for a long time, and after I came back I didn't pay much attention to what was happening online."
"But after the explosion of 'Annual Rings', I probably understand a little bit."
"Everyone says that Fairyland is a bad movie, so why is the discussion online so heated, and why can it also make Annual Rings popular?"
"If necessary, a novel writer can also be an excellent pop songwriter and write new songs into the book."
“I think it’s a very interesting way to promote it.”
Yuan Wanqing's words gave Li Luo some new ideas and instantly made his mind active.
"Aunt Yuan." Li Luo had an idea in his mind, and couldn't help looking at Yuan Wanqing with burning eyes, "I have an immature idea, I wonder if you are interested?"
"Oh?" Yuan Wanqing raised her eyebrows. "Tell me about it?"
"Would you mind releasing an album single from my novel?"
