After dreaming of getting rich, I dressed up as a collapsed idol

[The new book is really great, both literary and interesting. It has entered the publishing process. Does Xiao Lu have any suggestions? ]

The next day, when Lu Qingfeng got up, he saw the message from Lao Qian on his phone.

he replied.

[I don't have any requirements, I just hope it will be published as soon as possible.]

There will be a reply in seconds.

[Okay, I expect the book to be available in December.]

It is not as easy as one might think to circulate a book in the market.

The publishing process of a book includes the application and confirmation of the topic, several revisions of the manuscript, application for book number, design and typesetting, cover design, illustration, and finally promotion before the book is launched.

Each process takes a lot of time and normally may take three to six months to complete.

Of course, bestselling authors have privileged access and can save a lot of time.

Lu Qingfeng also knows this now.

As for the remaining issue of royalties, neither of them mentioned it, so it was left to Yang Xiuxiu to discuss.

Lu Qingfeng estimated that the publishing house would significantly increase his royalties.

In early November, book market statistics released a survey.

There was a dark horse in the book sales in October. In the single genre list of youth literature, "The Girl We Chased Together in That Year" landed at the third place in the sales list.

It sold 110,000 copies in just half a month after publication.

Maybe it's not as good as that phenomenal bestseller.

But there are only a few novels of this magnitude published every year.

The market is also generally optimistic about its future potential.

As the subsequent films are developed, the addition of this novel is foreseeable.

What cannot be ignored is that Lu Qingfeng's own popularity will also bring an increase in book sales.

This can be seen from "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory".

This fairy tale book published in September has entered a period of stability after reaping the initial dividends.

But October sales exceeded the magazine's estimate of 12,000 copies, by nearly 5,000 copies.

The book is now in its third printing.

Because the momentum didn't slow down in November.

This phenomenon occurred mainly because Lu Qingfeng's popularity exploded at the end of October.

This situation continued into November.

Therefore, the previous 10% royalty is definitely not appropriate.

After finishing the serious business, Lao Qian and La talked about other things.

[Xiao Lu, you've been feeling a bit stressed lately, with all the filming, studying, and writing.]

Lu Qingfeng didn't find it strange.

Maybe because he thinks he is relatively young, Lao Qian always cares about him in his daily life.

[It's okay. I usually manage my time well, so I don't feel any pressure.]

[That's good, that's good. Don't be so busy with work all the time. Go out and have fun more often.]

[Yes, I visited the Forbidden City yesterday.]

……

After chatting for a few more sentences, I finally ended the conversation with Lao Qian, who was a bit talkative today.

He went online to check out the response to the second episode of "Sounds into the Ears".

It continues the high popularity of the first issue and is more topical than the first issue.

Moreover, compared to the first episode, there are more fans praising the show.

This time, more passers-by joined the discussion.

Whether society should provide more convenience for people with disabilities and whether guide dogs can enter shopping malls, subways, buses and other public areas are hot topics of discussion online.

There is also a comparison between the number of blind people and guide dogs in the country, and the development of guide equipment.

These topics have actually been brought up before, but they just didn't attract such large-scale attention.

The program "Sounds in the Ears" has brought these issues into the mainstream attention.

I'm afraid this topic will remain hot for a long time.

Lu Qingfeng didn't pay much attention to it. He had something to do today. Li Yinan helped him make an appointment with the deputy director of the China Philharmonic Orchestra.

The venue is the Philharmonic Orchestra’s residence in Yanjing, the Light and Shadow Symphony Hall.

An irregular pure white building.

When Lu Qingfeng arrived here, there were staff waiting for him.

"Mr. Lu, our leader is waiting for you inside, please come in."

"sorry to bother you."

As the staff walked into the music hall, Lu Qingfeng observed them.

The interior area is very spacious, and sunlight diffuses into this simple space through the glazed white glass, with soft tones.

“This is our main concert hall, and it is also one of the orchestra’s performance venues in China.

Seeing that he was interested, the staff introduced it to him.

The interior of the concert hall adopts a vineyard-like layout, with wooden seats stacked in natural layers.

The white sound reflection panels at the top are arranged like lotus petals.

This device ensures that no matter where the audience sits, they will hear an enhanced sound field that is consistent with the direction of the stage.

"very beautiful."

Lu Qingfeng praised.

The staff member smiled reservedly and took him to the back of the main concert hall.

This is the office space for the orchestra's management, as well as auxiliary function spaces such as rehearsal rooms, library, and information room.

He brought Lu Qingfeng to an office, knocked on the door, and waited for the voice of "Come in" from inside before pushing the door open.

"Captain, Mr. Lu is here."

"Haha, I'm so sorry. I've been busy with performances lately, so I'm pressed for time and have a lot of work to do. I didn't come to greet you in person."

A middle-aged man with a Mediterranean hair sitting behind the desk stood up and walked towards Lu Qingfeng enthusiastically with his hand extended.

"You're welcome. Just call me by my name."

Lu Qingfeng shook hands with him.

This national symphony orchestra is a semi-official cultural and artistic unit.

The management team is not a cast member, but has a regular position.

After a brief introduction, let’s get straight to the point.

"Student Lu is very talented at such a young age. Even our teacher, Teacher Lu, has praised your violin skills many times and said he wants to have an exchange with you. Unfortunately, Teacher Lu recently went abroad."

"I don't deserve it. I watched a lot of Teacher Lu's performance videos when I was learning piano. I still have a lot to learn."

Lu Qingfeng maintained a humble attitude.

"I came here this time for the purpose of learning."

The Mediterranean uncle is called Li Hehai, and a smile appeared on his face when he heard this.

This kid is good, humble and good at speaking.

I inexplicably developed a liking for him.

"Haha, Mr. Lu is so modest. I've seen your performance video too. It's good, especially for someone your age."

"Okay, okay, let's stop talking about the same old things and talk about cooperation."

"Mr. Lu, do you want to officially join our orchestra, or do you want to collaborate as a guest?"

Lu Qingfeng thought for a moment and spoke carefully.

"Captain Li might understand my situation a little bit. I'm still in school and I have a show to film."

“Even if I officially join the orchestra as a member, I cannot guarantee the orchestra’s rehearsal goals, so I think becoming a guest violinist would be a suitable way to cooperate.”

Before coming, Lu Qingfeng did his homework.

The Philharmonic Orchestra has a maximum strength of 120 members, including the artistic director, permanent conductor, resident composer, and national first-class performers.

These people are obviously not enough for some large performances.

Therefore, when encountering such a situation, people are drawn from other orchestras.

The composition of the orchestra is very precious, and you can't just join it.

Once you get in here, you will be a real member of the national team.

But this is inconsistent with Lu Qingfeng's goal.

Guest performances are a way for large orchestras to collaborate with musicians from home and abroad.

The Philharmonic Orchestra has a music season every year, in which it plans a series of performances in collaboration with these musicians.

Including several large-scale performances at home and abroad.
