"When a book is published for readers to read, it will face evaluations from all kinds of people. Some are well-intentioned, and some are malicious. I do not evaluate the level of those reviewers, nor do I question them.

motivation, but since they can evaluate my book, others can too."

"There are many people who refute their views this time, and Yan Normal University alumni only account for a small part of them, but these few people can only see such a small part, and then imagine that we are forming a clique. The reason why I say

It’s just conjecture because I still have some respect for them and am willing to judge them with the greatest goodwill. Maybe it’s not a conjecture at all, but they deliberately distort the facts with some ulterior purpose.”

Hearing Yu Dong speak more and more straightforwardly, the reporters were all very excited.

Although most of the people present were state media reporters, they also wanted to find some big news. Compared with the sales of new books, it is of course more interesting to have a war between writers and critics.

However, Yu Dong stopped there, and then changed the topic directly, "Actually, before "The Second World" is released, there is another movie adapted from my novel to be released. At the end of October, the new movie "The Butterfly Effect" directed by Feng Xiaoning,

It is adapted from my novel "Chaos Diary", you can pay attention to it."

"Definitely, we will help promote it."

"Don't worry, Teacher Yu. Our newspaper office will help write a special feature later."

Yu Dong cooperates with them, and they naturally want to reciprocate. They themselves were influenced by "Second World" and "The Butterfly Effect" has attracted quite a lot of attention. It would not be a loss to help write a news article.

The press conference went on in an orderly manner.

After He Qizhi came to the bookstore, he watched the press conference for a while, and after confirming that there was no big problem, he went to the lounge to talk to Yu Dong's assistant Jiang Jie.

After entering the lounge, I saw a second person inside, and this person looked very special.

"Who is this?" He Qizhi asked Jiang Jie.

Jiang Jie helped introduce, "This is Teacher Wang Xiaobo. Teacher Yu particularly likes his novels, so I specially invited him to come over and have a chat. Teacher Wang, this is the editor-in-chief of "Contemporary", Teacher He Qizhi."

Yu Dong likes this guy's novel? He Qizhi looked at Wang Xiaobo up and down, then reached out and shook Wang Xiaobo's hand.

"Hello, hello, I wonder what works Teacher Wang has written?"

He Qizhi is also very direct. If you don't know him, just say you don't know him.

Wang Xiaobo smiled and said: "I have written a few articles, but what I am talking about with Yu Dong today is "The Golden Age" published this year."

"Golden Age." He Qizhi thought for a while, but still had no impression, "I'll buy a copy later and have a look."

Wang Xiaobo laughed and said, "I'm afraid you can't buy it."

He Qizhi asked doubtfully, "How do you say this?"

Wang Xiaobo shook his head and did not explain. He just smiled and said, "I will give you a copy later."

"Okay, I'll go to our editorial office when I have time. But I can't accompany you right now, Assistant Jiang, can we take a moment to talk."

Jiang Jie nodded and said to Wang Xiaobo, "Teacher Wang, I'll excuse you for now and I'll be back soon."

…

After the press conference, the autograph session began quickly.

Today there are fewer people than at the autograph session in New York, but it’s not easy to go east. If you relax even a little bit, you won’t be able to sign.

The staff at the bookstore and publishing house were caught off guard. They did not expect so many people to come. Just maintaining order took a lot of effort. Later, the police added some more manpower and freed up the staff.

Speaking of which, Xinhua Bookstore is indeed not as well prepared as Little Bear Bookstore.

First of all, there was little publicity in the early stage. When Yu Dong came over, he saw a banner and two ordinary-sized posters. The location for the autograph signing was also very carelessly chosen. It was in the back of the first floor, and the readers participating in the autograph signing were inside.

It couldn't be moved at all, and most people could only stand outside and wait.

As for signing pens, they only prepared the most common ball pens, which were of average quality and were thrown away after writing.

It doesn't matter what pen Yu Dong uses, he just feels that from a business perspective, Xinhua Bookstore lags far behind.

The director of this bookstore is a fifty-year-old old man. He always smiles like a Maitreya when he sees him, but he is not straightforward at all in his work. The main reason is that he is still in this position at his age, and it will be difficult for him to move up.

, so we muddle along, causing the bookstore to have little vitality.

Fortunately, the Xinhua Bookstore's signboard is sufficient, otherwise today's autograph session would be really difficult.

At half past five, everyone got off work on time. At last count, there were 1,600 visitors and 2,500 books.

When they were tallying the results, Yu Dong went to the lounge. Jiang Jie told him that Wang Xiaobo had not left and was waiting in the lounge.

As soon as he entered the lounge, Yu Dong apologized to Wang Xiaobo: "I'm sorry, Teacher Wang, for keeping you waiting for so long."

"No, Jiang Jie told me to go back first. But I don't have anything to do anyway. I just went out with a cart to sell books a few days ago. Now that I want to re-publish, I don't have to do this anymore. I just thought

Wait, I'll say hello to you when you're done and then leave."

"Let's have dinner together tonight," Yu Dongxiao invited.

Wang Xiaobo shook his head, "Not today, I have someone waiting at home. Let's do it next time. I'll treat you to dinner next time. Since I've said hello, I'll go back first."

"Won't you sit down for a while?" Yu Dong asked unexpectedly. Wang Xiaobo had been waiting for a whole day and now he just said a few words and was leaving?

"No."

Wang Xiaobo waved his hand and left simply.

Yu Dong arrived at the door of the bookstore. He looked at Wang Xiaobo's retreating back and shook his head. Jiang Jie next to him smiled and said: "Teacher Wang is such a strange person. I thought he insisted on not leaving because he had something to tell you. No."

I thought of it just to say hello."

"Let's go say hello to the people inside. Today's affairs are finally over."

Jiang Jie looked inside the bookstore and whispered, "I feel that I could have signed more, but their bookstore was not well prepared. We should consider it next time we cooperate."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "We will talk about this later."

Different from Jiang Jie's reaction, the director of the bookstore and the publishing house were very satisfied with the final data. They originally expected that signing more than a thousand books would be great, but they didn't expect it to double.

Moreover, there are many celebrities here today, including several writers, such as Ma Yuan and Hong Feng, not to mention some young writers. It is not surprising that several writers are here. The most surprising thing is that even the piano player

Master Liu Shikun is here.

…

After the autograph session, Yu Dong and the others rushed back to Jinling. Unfortunately, there was no military parade this year, otherwise they could have stayed in Yanjing for a few more days to watch the military parade before leaving.

As soon as Yu Dongren returned to Jinling, he received a call from Zhang Yimou.

"You ran away too fast. I asked "Contemporary" and found out that you left in a hurry as soon as the autograph session ended."

In his words, Zhang Yimou could hear that he was very sorry. Yu Dong asked strangely: "What do you want from me?"

"There is a novel I want you to read." Zhang Yimou said.

"Novel?" Yu Dong became even more confused, "Why are you showing it to me?"

"I want you to help me become a screenwriter."

"You want me to be the screenwriter? Where's Liu Heng?"

"I don't need him this time. I want to try to let the writer change it." Zhang Yimou said.

Yu Dong asked: "Which novel and who is the author?"

"You should have heard of "Sect Rules", which was only published in "Zhongshan" this year."

Yu Dong twitched his lips. Sure enough, it was this novel. Not only did he know about it, he had also had dinner with Li Xiaotang and read the original manuscript.

From this point of view, Zhang Yimou still wants to film the movie "Shake, Shake, Shake to Grandma Bridge".

"Shake, Shake, Shake to Grandma's Bridge" is adapted from "Family Rules" and is written by Li Xiaotang and Bi Feiyu. Bi Feiyu later wrote a novel called "Once Upon a Time in Shanghai" for the movie.

"I have read this novel, and I also know Teacher Li Xiaotang."

"I know you guys know each other." Zhang Yimou smiled and said, "Li Xiaotang recommended you and Bi Feiyu to me. My idea is to let you and Li Xiaotang, or you, Bi Feiyu and Li Xiaotang, be the screenwriters.

."

"Okay, I'll discuss it with Feiyu later." Yu Dong nodded and said.

Yu Dong was very interested in this project. After attending the art festival last time, he suddenly became interested in screenwriting and thought about writing some scripts if he had the opportunity.

"Okay, you guys can discuss it first and wait for a while... Do you want to go out for National Day?"

Yu Dong thought for a while, "I shouldn't go out. I'm in Jinling. If Bi Feiyu is there, the possibility of going out is not high."

"Well, if you don't go out, I'll go find you on National Day and let's talk face to face."

"Okay, let me tell Feiyu."

After hanging up the phone from Zhang Yimou, Yu Dong took out the manuscript of "The Martian" again. This manuscript has just the last bit to finish, and then it can be sent to the magazine.

But then Yu Dong couldn't rest. He said at the press conference that he would have a series of short and medium-sized novels to share with everyone in the near future. He didn't just say it casually, but he actually saved several of them.

One is the article "Someone Drowned Inside" written during the Chinese New Year, which has been kept in my hands and not published. The other is written in the spring, called "Yujiaxiang·Abortion", which is a series of novels conceived by Yu Dong.

The first part of this series of novels mainly tells a story called Yujiaxiang, involving scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, and all aspects.

"Abortion" tells a story that happened in Yujiaxiang Junior High School. There was a girl in the school who had an abortion once, but it was rumored that she had two abortions. She never explained this to others, but she met her later.

She was a boy, and she tried her best to explain that she had only had one abortion.

The boy said he believed it, but in his heart he felt it didn't matter, because in his opinion, there was no difference between having an abortion once and having an abortion twice. Later, because the boy and the girl were caught meeting at night, rumors spread again, saying

The girl had her third abortion.
