Generation Z Artists

Chapter 60: Get the judges first
Fang Xinghe slipped out from the crowd of people leaving school at No. 2 Middle School and had another big meal.

Chen Danya hosted the party, and Li Qigang, Zhao Changtian and Chen Sihe accompanied them, and they had a lively chat about everything under the sun.

The topic was mainly focused on the recent rhythm. The aftermath of this incident has not yet dissipated, and everyone was very interested in the discussion.

"It's great that you can calm down!"

Everyone praised Fang Xinghe for taking the initiative to shut off the microphone.

"To retire at the height of his fame is amazing!"

"Sometimes I really want to open your brain and see what's inside. How can you be so smart?"

"It's not easy. It's really not easy. So many people cursed you by name, but you ignored them and treated them as nothing. You really have mastered the Taoist cultivation skills..."

Fang Xinghe didn't try to be modest: "Actually, I am angry, but it's not worth arguing with them. Education is not a good battlefield."

"Oh?" Chen Sihe was very interested. "Then what is a good battlefield?"

The question was asked casually, but Fang Xinghe's answer was so thought-provoking and worth pondering -

"Don't be so grandiose when it's directed specifically at me, when there's no one behind me and I'm alone on the road."

The room suddenly fell silent.

How to understand?

Everyone has a different interpretation, and when faced with further questioning, Fang Xinghe just smiled and waved his hands without saying another word.

……

After dinner, it was Chen Danya who sent Fang Xinghe back to the hotel.

"What time is the flight tomorrow?"

"I changed my flight ticket. I'm going to the capital."

"what happened again?"

Chen Danya was very sensitive and immediately realized that something was wrong.

Fang Xinghe briefly told her about the "The Strongest Voice of Post-80s" project.

"I will definitely need Xinmin's help to build momentum at that time, but I haven't finished the specific details yet, so I'll just have a chat with Sister Yali. I didn't tell you before, mainly because I wasn't sure about Han Han's attitude."

"Oh my god, how can you be so troublesome?"

Chen Danya's head was buzzing, and she pulled him straight to the coffee shop on the corner.

"Come on, let's face off now and see how I can help."

Fang Xinghe had no choice but to be dragged by Aunt Chen to drink the first cup of coffee in his life.

After chatting for about 30 minutes, Chen Danya realized that it could not be done today. This was a particularly large system project that required collaboration among many people.

"Forget it, go back to sleep, I'll pick you up at the airport tomorrow."

"Auntie Chen, no need to numb..."

"listen to me!"

This was the first time Fang Xinghe experienced what it felt like to be interrupted, but he felt deeply touched.

"Okay, see you tomorrow."

The next day, Chen Danya and Fang Xinghe boarded a plane together. As soon as they left the airport, they got into Wang Yali's car.

"Good boy! Tell me your plan in detail!"

Wang Yali was very excited. Unlike Chen Danya, she had the book number and publication number, which were the core of the entire operation.

So Fang Xinghe started talking about ideas and then talked about the benefits.

"So, this is a combination punch?"

Wang Yali and Chen Danya understood everything and looked at each other in shock and speechlessness.

"Start by launching the New Concept Composition Collection to warm up the strongest voice of the post-80s generation, and create heat and topics with Mengya. Next, take the initiative to sell your uncle's flaws, wait for the difficult-to-defend system to explode, draw all attention to yourself, and finally start selling the new book, firing the first shot of the "Post-80s" plan..."

"Xiao Fang, what's wrong with your brain?"

Wang Yali's attitude was mostly shock, appreciation, and excitement, while Chen Danya was more blaming.

"Xiao Fang, you are indeed a rare smart person in the world, but you are too keen on taking risks! Why can't you take it slow and steady?"

It’s not a question of the depth of the feelings, but the different personalities of the two people.

Fang Xinghe spread his hands and gave a rare wry smile.

"What else can I do? 'Youth of the Damned' is already in my collection of essays and will be on the market soon. The barbecue incident can't be kept secret for long. My uncle can't keep it under control with high pressure. My new book itself is also a very controversial one... I can only go crazy until I die."

Fang Xinghe can certainly remain stable when he needs to, but on a macro level he has no choice at all. These days are not suitable for survival with "real traffic", and if he doesn't engage in traffic gameplay, he won't be able to accumulate starlight points.

As long as you carefully calculate the resource gap, you will know that if you only rely on works, it may not be possible to maximize any attributes even in five years.

How many five years are left before the era of universal entertainment traffic stratification?

What can I do if I don’t get excited?
"Why do you have to push yourself to this point, kid?"

Chen Danya, who couldn't understand him, had tears in her eyes as she spoke... Oh my god, what kind of fan level is this? Fang Xinghe was curious, but he didn't check it out. He just kept his gratitude in his heart.

Wang Yali praised him highly: "How great! Xiao Fang is only 14 years old. If not now, when will he go out to have fun? It's boring to think about so many things with an adult's mindset. Just do it this way. It's exciting!"

"Just get used to him!"

Chen Danya glared at her angrily and then immediately returned to work.

"Okay, I'll find the contact information on the list of winners for you. Let Li Qigang take charge of the communication, and I'll play a supporting role. You'd better not do it yourself, as it will easily arouse the disgust and rebellion of those kids."

Wang Yali added, "I'll go get your book number and publication number ready now! Also, can Yu Hua, Liu Zhenyun, and Shi Tiesheng be used as reviewers? They're all in the capital lately, and they're all pretty idle, so it's a good opportunity for them to contribute to your work."

Fang Xinghe smiled bitterly: "Don't worry, we have to deal with things one by one. Let's see what the award-winning students say first."

"They are so happy!"

Wang Yali curled her lips and became more aggressive.

"New Concept Essays didn't charge a penny, but now you can get a lot of money by just writing an essay to express a little girl's feelings, ranging from a few thousand to tens of thousands. Only a madman would refuse that."

Chen Danya is also optimistic, but still cautious: "When the sales of the New Concept Collection are released, they should be more positive. I estimate that the collection will sell a lot, plus your fame, "The Strongest Voice of the Post-80s" may be a big hit as soon as it comes out. By the way, have you ever thought about continuing to operate the magazine?"

"Expand the scope of manuscript collection and conduct regular operations?"

Fang Xinghe smiled and nodded: "I have considered it a little, but I definitely don't have the time or the leisure to do so. If the situation is particularly good by then, I can transfer most of the shares to you..."

"What are you talking about! How can we take your money?"

This time, the two of them finally formed a united front and denounced together.

"If we use it once and then throw it away, isn't that more of a waste?"

"Then neither of us can take it!"

Fang Xinghe simply replied and then stopped persuading him.

There is no rush for this matter, just leave it to time.

The three of them were busy for the whole day and almost all the issues were sorted out. Finally, "The Strongest Voice of Post-80s" was transformed from a draft into a highly feasible publishing plan.

At first glance, this seems to be Fang Xinghe spending his own money to help his colleagues.

But in fact, there is no loss at all.

This is the difference between making a cake and dividing a cake. Fang Xinghe made a new big cake, and everyone will be full and no one needs to be sacrificed.

Even himself.

"Okay, okay, I finally found the passion to strive again, let's get started!"

Well, Sister Wang is even more immature than Xiao Fang...

But this matter is indeed interesting and meaningful, especially the several cool operations proposed by Fang Xinghe, which make her feel particularly excited when she thinks about them.

The next day, Chen Danya, who had just flown back to Shanghai, brought good news. Li Qigang was willing to help, and he secured Sun Jiani, Xu Siyao, Xu Renjie, and Chen Wu that same day.

Teacher Li personally called Fang Xinghe to show off: "How is it? If you want to get things done, you still need Lao Jiang to take action, right?"

"Mmm, you're hot, you're hot!"

Fang Xinghe said this without much sincerity, and suddenly he was puzzled: "Why are they all from Group B and Group C?"

Li Qigang replied arrogantly, "You don't understand this, do you? Group A has gone to college and has plenty of time, so it's easy to handle. On the contrary, Group B has a lot of academic pressure and may not be willing to write anymore, so I'm doing the difficult first and then the easy, working under pressure..."

"awesome!"

Continuing to praise him perfunctorily, he asked again, "Why is Ding Yan missing from Group B? I like her writing style the most."

"Um... Ding Yan doesn't want to."

Li Qigang was stuck for a moment, and his voice became a little embarrassed.

"She is still far from the age where she can be admitted to a university without taking the entrance exam. Now she just wants to focus on her studies."

"She is also your Shanghai Ning, right? Please don't let her down~~~"

Fang Xinghe was putting pressure on himself while making big promises: "Keep going! If I succeed in two years, I will go to your New Concept symposium to help you maintain order."

Li Qigang laughed angrily: "When you need me, you say you, and when you don't need me, you call me Lao Li and hang up on me. Do you have a conscience? I don't believe your lies!"

Having said that, after hanging up the phone, he still couldn't help but fantasize about that day.

If that day really comes - all the previous winners of the New Concept Award will gather together, it will be a star-studded event, with great writers, great directors, great professors, and great entrepreneurs... They were originally arrogant, but after the arrival of the budding guardian beast, they became low-key, humble and well-behaved.

Everyone took turns to speak on stage: "The reason why I am where I am today is that I must thank Teacher Li Qigang for his training and care for me, blah blah blah..."

How cool would that be?
Hey Hey Hey……

Old Li imagined for a while, and his expression suddenly turned into a chicken - a chicken with chicken blood.

"No! I really have to work harder! The sooner we deal with them, the more time we will have to think about the article. Although Xiao Fang is too abominable, the talents emerging from New Concept are also my disciples. It is only reasonable and necessary to help them..."

Without Fang Xinghe's further promises, he was already fully excited and turned around to make the next call.

What I mean is, with this kind of work enthusiasm, how can you not succeed?
