When Barry dialed Karl's video call, he originally just wanted Jiang Yuan's contact information.
Unexpectedly, he contacted Jiang Yuan directly. Even after explaining the invitation, he just wanted to confirm his intention with Jiang Yuan.
But I didn't expect Jiang Yuan to agree so decisively.
"Did you agree directly?" Baliyu asked with some uncertainty.
Jiang Yuan once again expressed his affirmation, nodded and said, "I happen to have some short stories. If suitable, I am willing to provide manuscripts for your magazine."
"Is it ready? When will the manuscript be available?" After confirming, Barry's eyes lit up, and he went straight to the topic and started asking about the manuscript.
Jiang Yuan thought about it for a while. Although he had the short story, it would still take some time to copy it, so he thought about it and said, "If you are in a hurry, I can revise it and give it to you this week."
"Okay!" After hearing Jiang Yuan's answer, a smile suddenly broke out on Barry's face.
In Barry's opinion, with Jiang Yuan in charge, the first issue of his magazine has been mostly successful.
"When will the magazine be released?" Finally, Jiang Yuan asked curiously.
After hearing this, Barry thought about it for a moment. It was not the first time he had this idea about the magazine.
When it came time to invite Jiang Yuan for manuscripts, a lot of preparations had actually been made.
After confirming that Jiang Yuan could give him the manuscript so quickly, Barry's emotions suddenly ignited, "I'll try my best to hurry up and maybe I can finish it within a month."
"Waiting for your manuscript." After saying the last sentence, Barry hung up the phone and began to get busy.
Apparently the preparations have begun.
Although he hasn’t seen the short stories sent by Jiang Yuan yet, with the reputation established through so many works, Barry believes that the quality will not be much worse.
In his opinion, the works that need to be included in the first issue have successfully received the last piece of the puzzle.
"Eh? Have you hung up already?" After Jiang Yuan handed the phone back, Karl was a little surprised.
But I didn't pay much attention to it. It was obvious that I already understood Barry's character, but I was just a little confused. It seemed that Barry didn't even care about his delivery time.
Although Carl also has a lot of short story reserves, it is inevitable that some of them have been ignored.
"It's been a long time since I've seen old Barry look so motivated." After Carl took his phone back, he couldn't help but sigh.
"How do you say it?" Jiang Yuan re-entered the show-off state and asked curiously.
After hearing Jiang Yuan's inquiry, Karl also began to introduce Barry's resume.
The previous brief introduction only allowed Jiang Yuan to know that the other party was a very qualified editor, but other than that, he didn't know much about him.
After listening to Karl's further introduction, I found out that the other person was actually a judge for the Golden Dagger Award.
While listening, Jiang Yuan's thoughts began to wander, and he began to wonder which piece of work he should use to send it to Barry.
Even though he just said that, Jiang Yuan doesn't have any intention of using works of acceptable quality to fool him.
On the one hand, this is because Jiang Yuan does have a lot of reserves, but on the other hand, there is not so much opportunity and time to show off.
So whenever there is such an opportunity, Jiang Yuan is ready to produce excellent works.
On the other hand, I also learned about Barry's resume and learned that this would most likely be the last magazine he would edit in his career.
In the first issue of the publication, Jiang Yuan also wanted to give the other party a beautiful opening.
After thinking about it for a while, Jiang Yuan quickly had the answer in his mind.
That evening, after finishing the dinner with Karl and others, Jiang Yuan took the lead in saying goodbye and returned to the hotel.
Regarding Jiang Yuan's early departure, Carl and others expressed their understanding after learning about Jiang Yuan's next itinerary.
After all, there is the same autograph session the next day, and in addition, the first concert of the European and American tour is about to begin.
Jiang Yuan also gave tickets to Carl and others.
The tickets for the performance were all sold out just before the concert started.
Although it is not possible to sell out in seconds like in other regions, it is very rare to be able to open a large venue like a stadium in a foreign country.
However, after winning the IMA Award, not only the popularity of the song, but Jiang Yuan's own popularity has also increased significantly.
The next few stops were sold out continuously and quickly, which is a good indication.
Back at the hotel, Jiang Yuan was still in shooting mode after washing up.
What I am recording is the content of "Yuan You Hui", and I am going to use this time to reply to the letters sent by fans at today's book signing.
I’m even going to reply to some of the letters I’ve received recently.
Many letters are spread out on the desk, and you can feel the care in almost every letter starting from the delicate envelope.
After looking at the letter, Jiang Yuan also took out his mobile phone and took a photo for authentication and uploaded it to Yuan Universe as part of the day's interaction and said good night to his fans.
Under the camera without makeup, Jiang Yuan began to classify the letters.
Because many of the letters were given directly to Jiang Yuan or the staff in person, there were no stamps or contact addresses on them.
Jiang Yuan plans to reply verbally to this type of letter on the show.
There were also a small number of addressed letters, and Jiang Yuan also asked the staff to buy letter paper and envelopes.
"Are you planning to send the letter in person later?" Li Xiaoyue asked curiously as a voice-over behind the camera.
"Well, I saw the post office on the way back from the autograph signing. I'm going to mail it after the autograph signing tomorrow." Jiang Yuan said while sorting the letters.
"I usually receive a lot of letters, right?" In order to make the sorting process less boring, Li Xiaoyue also chatted with Jiang Yuan.
"There are a lot of them. I can only read some as much as possible during the breaks in my schedule, but most of them are still stored away."
"It's really rare to find time to reply to everyone on a show like this." Jiang Yuan nodded and replied.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After all, the number of letters is indeed huge, and it is not easy to collect them specifically.
The storage location is still a city like Shanghai where land is at a premium.
"Let me show you the letters from the company in my study." Jiang Yuan said and also showed the camera the photos on his phone.
The collection point of the letters is also revealed on the screen for the first time. In the photo, you can see that the specially customized purple cardboard boxes are filled with letters.
The quantity is almost enough to build a wall.
"The number is indeed a lot." Li Xiaoyue didn't have a strong concept at first, but she was still shocked after seeing the photos.
The letters received that day were much smaller than those in the photo, so Jiang Yuan quickly sorted those with addresses and those without addresses.
I was told that I would have to write a reply in person, but in fact I only had to reply to about ten letters in the end.
The time is relatively late, and Jiang Yuan is unlikely to reply with too long content, so the amount of work is not too large.
After all, this is different from signing. After all, the brain is thinking.
"Sometimes I wonder if it would be possible to take out all these letters and hold a memory exhibition when everyone gets older."
"If everyone still remembers the letter he wrote, maybe he can go to the scene to claim it." Jiang Yuan opened the first letter and talked about his idea.
"If it really comes to fruition, it should be a very good event." Li Xiaoyue took the perspective of a fan.
When sending a letter, you may not have much hope that it will be read, let alone a reply.
But the idea proposed by Jiang Yuan made Li Xiaoyue feel that in this way, the letters sent would at least be treated kindly.
It even appears specifically at events such as exhibitions, and can be claimed at the scene, and the emotional value is immediately high.
"I will definitely do it." As a person who draws cakes, Jiang Yuan nodded heavily and affirmed again.
"I'm just not sure when it will be. If possible, we will try to do some pop-up small batches at the beginning of the 2.0 tour next time."
Jiang Yuan directly and quickly advanced the process of painting the cake.
When Li Xiaoyue heard this, she sighed in her heart at Jiang Yuan's execution. At the same time, she was happy that this content was not recorded in vain. The material for the first issue was now available.
During the conversation, Jiang Yuan had already read the first letter, starting with the letter that required a reply.
Most of the letters from fans are relatively long, but there is quite a bit of overlap in content.
But each different person still has certain differences, and many letters will have different personal stories.
After reading for a while, Jiang Yuan also unfolded the letter and began to write a reply.
At this time, the camera moved forward slightly, wanting to see what Jiang Yuan had written.
What Li Xiaoyue didn't expect was that Jiang Yuan actually turned sideways to block the letter.
"Can't you take a look?" Li Xiaoyue couldn't help but ask.
After all, from the moment Jiang Yuan started reading the letter, he remained silent, and then to the part where he replied to the letter, it was obviously an invalid scene as far as the program was concerned.
Hearing Li Xiaoyue's inquiry, Jiang Yuan hesitated for a moment but chose to shake his head, and then explained, "Because the letters are all sent to me by fans, and quite a few of them involve privacy, so in addition to some letters that will be publicly responded to later,
I may explain some of the content, but I can’t show you the rest.”
Li Xiaoyue obviously didn't expect Jiang Yuan's explanation at all.
But I have to say that it sounds very convincing to her. Although the effect of the show is no longer there, if she is a fan who wrote the letter and hears this, her favorability level will increase a lot again.
After thinking about it, I realized that this could be regarded as another kind of program effect, so I stopped questioning Jiang Yuan.
The next period of time when Jiang Yuan replied to the letter was very boring.
From Li Xiaoyue's point of view, apart from Jiang Yuan's face, it can be said that there is nothing interesting about it.
The only thing that can be seen is that Jiang Yuan looked very serious when replying to the letter.
So Li Xiaoyue has already figured out how to deal with this section in the later stage, speed up the editing and add some text explanations.
After thinking about these contents, Li Xiaoyue regained some energy after discovering that Jiang Yuan had finally written the letter to be replied to.
"Have you finished writing the reply?" Li Xiaoyue asked.
"Yes." Jiang Yuan folded the letter and nodded.
Then he thought about it and added again, "However, the number of words in the reply may be much less than the letters everyone wrote to me."
"The main reason is that it's really getting late, and there are still many letters that need to be answered."
Listening to Jiang Yuan's explanation, Li Xiaoyue had already planned for Jiang Yuan to include Jiang Yuan's schedule in the program later.
Li Xiaoyue followed Jiang Yuan throughout the filming process, and she also understood that Jiang Yuan's schedule in recent days was quite explosive.
If you can find time to reply to the letter at this time, the fans will be twice as touched.
After replying to the letters that needed to be written by hand, the rest of the letters needed to be answered orally, so the scene was finally no longer silent.
For this type of letter that requires reading out part of the letter, Jiang Yuan also selected some parts that could be read out to reply.
There are many fans writing letters, but not all of them are content that can be published, so Jiang Yuan needs to manually screen them.
Since there was no handwriting required, Jiang Yuan could reply much faster.
Basically, only part of each letter needs to be responded to, so the process speeds up suddenly, and the effect of the program finally seems a lot more interesting in this part.
After the recording, Li Xiaoyue seemed very satisfied and had captured a lot of useful material.
"By the way, our program will be officially announced in two days." After finishing the filming, Li Xiaoyue told Jiang Yuan the news.
Although this time the program "Yuanyouhui" is completely Jiang Yuan's personal variety show, all major video platforms have shown strong interest in it.
There are already four sponsor advertisements in this issue of the pilot film alone, all of which were attracted by Jiang Yuan alone.
There are even many brands that are in contact and waiting to see the broadcast effect before deciding whether to join later.
There are vague news about this program on the Internet, but the official announcement directly adopted the method of airdropping the pilot film without warning.
"When the pilot film was broadcast, after calculating the time difference, it should be almost after the autograph session ends tomorrow." Li Xiaoyue calculated the time and said.
——
The next day, the second autograph session was held as smoothly as the previous day.
Before going to work at the book signing, Jiang Yuan had already gone to the post office to mail the letter.
The autograph session on the second day still provided fans with a lot of new materials. After all, it was a different look.
At the same time, fans' interactions and requirements are also different, so some new famous scenes have also been born.
While everyone was busy paying attention to the materials for the autograph session, Jiang Yuan's new personal variety show pilot film was released on the video platform without warning.
When fans saw the official announcement of the program on the platform, they discovered that a pilot film was already available to watch.
