256. Chapter 252: Walk Your Own Path

The disputes on the Internet did not affect Lu Yanhe's study and life.

However, the classmates around him seemed to be cautious towards him because of this incident. They seemed to be worried that he would be in a bad mood and would speak softer once they got close to him.

Lu Yanhe didn't know what to say. He couldn't just say "I haven't been affected by those attacks online, so you don't have to do this" when meeting someone.

Fortunately, because the whole morning was filled with classes, Lu Yanhe spent most of the time focusing on listening to the lectures and taking notes.

In the first semester of freshman year, the main courses are literary history, introduction to culture, basics of linguistics, etc.

Lu Yanhe had a hard time taking these courses.

Because he is really not a person who is interested in literature or language. He just likes to read novels, and at most he likes some poetry.

He had no relevant accumulation. Whether it was all the allusions or some deeds that the teachers cited in class, Lu Yanhe didn't know what was going on for the most part. He could only record it temporarily and look up the information after class to figure it out.

I chose history as my first choice and literature as my second choice because I liked history more.

But I didn't enroll in history. I enrolled in literature major because I thought it would help me become an actor in the future and improve my cultural quality.

Looking back now, dreams are beautiful, but reality is not so beautiful.

After class at noon, Lu Yanhe turned on his phone and saw that Li Zhi asked him and Yan Liang in the group five minutes ago if they would go back for lunch.

Yan Liang replied OK.

Lu Yanhe: I won’t go back. I’ll go to the library. I couldn’t understand many of the classes in the morning, so I had to make up for it.

Li Zhibai: Then you just eat bread for lunch?

Lu Yanhe: Well, I have to have dinner with my classmates in the evening, so I can just have something for lunch.

Li Zhibai: Don’t end up malnourished.

Lu Yanhe: It’s alarmist, but it’s not because I haven’t eaten.

Li Zhibai: It’s the same as not eating.

Lu Yanhe:......

-

Today is also the second day that "Jump Up" has been released on Yevei.com.

Lu Yanhe opened the APP immediately on his way to the library.

On the reading homepage of "Jump Up", the number of people who have joined the bookshelf has exceeded 390,000.

According to the rules of Yemai.com, if you want to read "Jump Up", you must be a registered user. Unregistered visitors can only read the first three pages.

Therefore, Lu Yanhe guessed that most of the 390,000 people were fans of Jiang Yuqian and Li Zhibai.

Without them, this number would definitely not be as good as it is.

Lu Yanhe mainly looked at the comment section.

He wanted to know what everyone thought of the book.

However, just like the market's positioning of the book, this book inevitably has a fan-oriented trend.

In the comment area, most of them are fans of several artists praising their idols.

Novels written by authors such as Liu Jiazhen, Mingyin, and Bai Yu are rarely discussed.

Lu Yanhe was a little disappointed.

The popularity of this book has reached everyone's expectations, and even exceeded it.

It's just that this popularity is not due to the content itself. This makes Lu Yanhe breath a sigh of relief, but he is still a little hesitant. In this case, can he continue to make a second book?

Just as he was thinking about it, Chen Siqi called.

"Have you finished class?" Chen Siqi asked.

"get out of class is over, on the way to the library." Lu Yanhe said, "I was reading the reviews of "Jump Up" just now."

Chen Siqi: "Me too. I basically stared at the comment section yesterday and today. Are you a little disappointed?"

"Um?"

"Because most of the content in the comment section is related to artists."

Lu Yanhe thought to himself that Chen Siqi was really sharp in figuring out his thoughts.

"is a bit."

Chen Siqi said firmly: "There is no way around this, but as long as there is a chance, I can continue to the second and third periods. I want to continue doing it. You won't be discouraged, right?"

Lu Yanhe: "..."

Chen Siqi: "Lu Yanhe, you can't give up halfway."

"No." Lu Yanhe lowered his head and smiled, "I'm just worried that when it switches to charging, there will still be such data. Maybe no one will be willing to spend money to buy it."

Chen Siqi: "That's because you don't know how good the pre-sale situation of the physical book "Jump Up" is. Yesterday it was put on the shelves for free on Yemai.com. It stands to reason that if you can read it for free, people will not spend money. But just Yesterday, the number of new pre-sales of physical books through various channels exceeded 10,000. Sister Xiaoyin told me that this number is very outstanding.”

"Ah, really?"

"You were recording the show, so we didn't bother you." Chen Siqi said, "Don't belittle yourself. The books we made are very good-looking."

Chen Siqi's voice was full of vitality and determination, as if he was facing the sun and moving forward unswervingly.

Lu Yanhe was also inspired by Chen Siqi's momentum.

"Let's do this together."

-

After hanging up the phone, Lu Yanhe's mood was brought back a little.

But he didn't expect to meet Zhou Mukai in the library.

He also reads in the study room of the library.

Lu Yanhe went in, sat down, and greeted Zhou Mukai softly.

Zhou Mukai looked very surprised when he saw him, as if he didn't expect to meet Lu Yanhe here.

When Lu Yanhe passed by him, he glanced out of the corner of his eye and discovered that the tablet in front of Zhou Mukai turned out to be a page from "Jump Up".

It is a short story by Liujiazhen.

Lu Yanhe was stunned.

Zhou Mukai said nothing.

Everyone was studying quietly.

Lu Yanhe silently took out his book and started studying - he didn't know what was going on. He knew that Zhou Mukai had read this book, so he wanted to ask Zhou Mukai what he thought of this book.

But he was too embarrassed to ask such a question.

Zhou Mukai would never say that it was not good in front of him.

Lu Yanhe shook his head, focused his attention, stopped thinking about it, and started to read seriously.

Lu Yanhe had an elective course in the afternoon, in the seventh and eighth periods. Before that, Lu Yanhe had been sitting in the library reading.

When he left, Zhou Mukai was still sitting there.

"I still have classes, so I'm leaving first." Lu Yanhe sent a message to Zhou Mukai and packed up his things.

Zhou Mukai glanced at his phone and nodded at him.

The page of "Jump Up" was no longer on the tablet screen in front of him.

-

In the evening, there were many people at the party organized by Miao Yue, nearly forty people.

Lu Yanhe was shocked. He didn't expect there would be so many people. They even needed to set up four tables for dinner, and it was quite crowded to sit.

Miao Yue was a social activist. She was very familiar with everyone and kept talking to different people.

Lu Yanhe went in and was stunned to see so many people.

Miao Yue saw him and waved to him immediately, "You are finally here! Why are you so late?"

"I have elective classes in the seventh and eighth classes in the afternoon, so I came after class." Lu Yanhe asked in a low voice, "Are all the students in the whole college here?"

"Some students have classes in the evening, or have other things to do, so only so many came." Miao Yue said.

In Miao Yue's mouth, it turned out to be "only so many came".

Lu Yanhe looked at her in surprise and couldn't speak for a long time.

"Why don't you sit next to me?" Miao Yue asked, "The other two tables seem to be full."

Lu Yanhe was thinking that he would treat everyone to dinner tonight, so many people, uh, let's buy it.

Who knew Miao Yue suddenly said at this time: "Don't pay the bill, we agreed to pay AA, we don't treat each other."

Lu Yanhe had no choice but to nod.

More than 40 people sat at a table, and the atmosphere was very lively. In the eyes of others, the students of Zhenhua University are all favored by heaven, elites, and pillars, but apart from all the halos imposed on them, they are actually a group of young people in their 18s and 19s who also love to be lively and play with their peers. They are not a group of students who only want to sit in the library to study, nor are they arrogant people who look down on others.

Miao Yue asked Lu Yanhe: "You should not know everyone yet, right?"

Lu Yanhe nodded and said: "I only know these classmates in our class at present."

"And me." Miao Yue emphasized.

Lu Yanhe smiled and nodded, "Yes, and you."

Miao Yue whispered to Lu Yanhe in his ear to introduce who was who.

Lu Yanhe really mobilized all his memory to remember who was who in this short introduction.

Obviously, although everyone is a top student from all over the country, they still can't take it for granted that their classmates are celebrities. Everyone is still curious about Lu Yanhe.

Especially their celebrity classmate, who is still on the hot search and is criticized by many people.

"Yanhe, are you not worried about the voices scolding you online?" Han Yue asked.

Han Yue is a minority from the Northeast, but she looks like a southern girl, with a small frame and delicate speech.

When she asked this, everyone's eyes were focused on Lu Yanhe. This is something everyone is curious about.

"There's nothing to worry about. When this happened during the recording of the show, my agent gave me a shot of prevention." Lu Yanhe said, "As long as there is a conflict, someone will definitely scold you. Different people have different perspectives, but I know what I am doing, and I think I did nothing wrong. That's enough. People who think I did nothing wrong will support me, and those who scold me mean that they think I did something wrong. It's okay. Anyway, it's impossible for everyone to like me. Just calm down."

Lu Yanhe thought it was good. He could finally explain this matter in front of everyone with a legitimate reason.

He smiled.

"There may be many more such things in the future, and I can only try to get used to it."

"Although we are the same age, you seem to be more mature than us."

"No, no." Lu Yanhe waved his hand quickly, "These words were all said by my agent to comfort me. I just learned them. So when I see someone scolding me, I will definitely be angry."

Everyone laughed immediately.

Zhou Qingcheng also sat at their table.

There are not many boys in the School of Arts. There are more than 40 people today, and there are only about 10 boys.

Zhou Qingcheng immediately said: "I scolded people online for a long time, and those people seemed to not understand what I said. Sometimes I asked how much money I received, sometimes I scolded me for being a brainless fan, and sometimes I said I was a primary school student."

Lu Yanhe looked at Zhou Qingcheng in surprise: "Why are you scolding people online again?"

Zhou Qingcheng: "I also watched your show. I think what you said about Meng Li is very right. You didn't say anything wrong. Her fans are like taking the wrong medicine. They don't know right from wrong. It doesn't make sense to talk to them."

Lu Yanhe didn't expect Zhou Qingcheng to help him quarrel online.

"There are always people like this on the Internet. What do you say to them?" Miao Yue said, "As long as what you say is not what they like to hear, then you are their enemy."

Zhou Qingcheng: "I was too hasty and thought I could reason with them."

"But why did you conflict with Meng Li on the show?" Ji Qianxing, who had made peace with Lu Yanhe that night, suddenly asked, "Since you know that conflict with her will make you scolded by her fans?"

"Because I couldn't understand her behavior at the time." Lu Yanhe explained.

"The main thing is that Meng Li has been targeting Li Zhibai, and she hasn't targeted you either." Ji Qianxing said.

Lu Yanhe: "But Li Zhibai is my friend. I can't just stand by and watch her target Li Zhibai."

"I just think those people on the Internet are exaggerating, but in fact it is not unreasonable. After all, it was a quarrel between Mengli and Li Zhibai from the beginning. As soon as you joined in, Li Zhibai had someone to help, but Mengli didn't No help." Ji Qianxing said, "Of course Mengli has a problem, but her fans think she is being bullied, and I think it is understandable."

Miao Yue glanced at Ji Qianxing in surprise.

Lu Yanhe was also a little surprised, but looking at Ji Qianxing, he did not refute, but nodded.

"Well, from your point of view, that's right." Lu Yanhe said.

"That's right, that's right. Could it be that your friend had a conflict with someone, and you just stood by and watched because there was only one person there?" Zhou Qingcheng looked directly at Ji Qianxing speechlessly, "According to what you said If two people quarrel, no one should intervene. If they do, one party will bully the other party. What kind of logic is this?

Ji Qianxing was scolded by Zhou Qingcheng's words and his cheeks turned red.

"Why are you talking so rudely? I'm just saying that it's not completely unreasonable for those people on the Internet to say such things."

"Damn it, you're not among those idiots who quarreled with me online, are you?" Zhou Qingcheng's eyes widened in shock and he looked at Ji Qianxing in disbelief.

Ji Qianxing's cheeks turned red, as if her pride was hurt by Zhou Qingcheng's words, and her eyes turned red instantly.

"Zhou Qingcheng, you are going too far." The girl sitting next to Ji Qianxing immediately defended her friend.

Zhou Qingcheng: "Wait a minute, you'd better shut up, otherwise according to Ji Qianxing, you can bully me in a group now."

He looked at the two of them with a nonchalant expression.

Ji Qianxing's face turned green with anger at this moment.

The consequence of this incident was that Ji Qianxing left directly.

The table was left looking at each other.

She left so fast that no one even had a chance to keep her.

At this time, the girl who was sitting next to Ji Qianxing and fighting for her glared at Zhou Qingcheng and said, "You are so annoying and unforgiving."

Zhou Qingcheng curled his lips and did not refute again this time.

Lu Yanhe was also a little embarrassed. Although Ji Qianxing was said to have been angered by Zhou Qingcheng, in the final analysis, it still had something to do with him. He didn't know whether Ji Qianxing really thought that, or whether she had some opinions about him because of his previous refusal. All in all, Lu Yanhe felt embarrassed for being so unhappy today.

Fortunately, such unpleasantness did not happen again.

Everyone at the table was very interested in things in the entertainment industry, and there was a lot of gossip about whether Lu Yanhe was true.

Lu Yanhe quickly raised his hands in a gesture of surrender and said: "Everyone, although I am an artist, I actually don't have many more channels for eating food than you do. I only eat food online. I don't know if it is true or not. It is impossible to ask the other party. not real."

Others heard the same thing, but they were still a little disappointed.

After all, everyone wants to hear the truth.

-

Halfway through the meal, Lu Yanhe went to the bathroom, only to run into Zhou Qingcheng, who had left earlier. He was standing at the window at the end of the corridor, smoking.

Lu Yanhe was a little surprised when he saw him smoking.

When Zhou Qingcheng saw him, he raised his hand and said hello.

Lu Yanhe came out of the bathroom and washed his hands. He saw that Zhou Qingcheng had finished smoking the cigarette in his hand, put out the cigarette butt, and came over to wash his hands.

"When did you start smoking?" Lu Yanhe asked in surprise.

"Last year." Zhou Qingcheng was still a little embarrassed, lowered his head and smiled.

last year? That was when I was in my senior year of high school.

Lu Yanhe nodded.

"What about you? Do you smoke?" Zhou Qing asked.

"No." Lu Yanhe shook his head.

"But yes, you are public figures, smoking is really bad."

"Not really, quite a lot of people smoke." Lu Yanhe said, "I just haven't smoked before, and I don't really like the taste."

Zhou Qingcheng: "It's a good thing not to smoke. I'm trying to control it now and want to quit."

"Why do you smoke?"

"I was under a lot of pressure at the time. I was preparing for the exam from morning to night, so I started smoking secretly." Zhou Qingcheng said, "I had to hide from the teachers and parents, and I had to wash my hands immediately after smoking."

Lu Yanhe laughed.

Zhou Qingcheng: "To be honest, I admire you very much."

"Huh?" Lu Yanhe looked at him in surprise.

Zhou Qingcheng said: "I have seen news about you on the Internet, especially the story about your counterattack in your senior year of high school. It is really awesome. I think all the students in the college admire you."

"How come, I should admire you."

"Nonsense, you only took one year to do what we took many years to do." Zhou Qingcheng said, "Besides, aren't you still studying and working now? I admire you for this alone, you are really awesome."

"No, no."

"Don't be modest, I even registered as a member of the book you edited today and read it." Zhou Qingcheng said, "The novel written by Liu Jiazhen is very good."

"Thank you."

"I heard that you wanted to make this book into a magazine at the beginning, will you continue to publish it in the future?"

"It depends on whether the publishing house and Yemai.com are willing to do it. Of course I want to continue to publish it."

Zhou Qingcheng nodded and said, "If you can do it for a long time, you will become the idol of the entire college."

"Ah?"

"These days, besides you, who else can set up a new magazine and keep it going?" Zhou Qingcheng said, "It's a literary magazine, awesome."

-

Lu Yanhe didn't expect that he would have such an impression in the eyes of his classmates.

He was still vaguely worried that his identity as an artist would bother his classmates.

Stars and artists are surrounded by all kinds of halos, but Lu Yanhe is also very clear that in the eyes of non-fans, they are just people who are a little famous, commercially packaged, and good-looking.

Zhenhua is the top institution of higher learning. Students who can study here are one in a million, or in other words, 99% of them are excellent from childhood to adulthood. Therefore, Lu Yanhe never felt that he could be more special than them, nor did he think that his identity as an artist could help him gain a foothold in this school. Everyone's curiosity and attention to him were just because of his fame.

To some extent, Lu Yanhe even felt that he was not as good as everyone else - just like when he was in class, he always encountered allusions that he didn't understand, knowledge that he didn't know, and it was very difficult to keep up with the teacher's pace.

Unexpectedly, in the eyes of others, he was another shining image.

-

Lu Yanhe couldn't help but start thinking about when this layer of false bubbles on him would be exposed.

He really didn't think he was so "shining".

After the dinner, everyone prepared to leave.

There were no classes in the first and second periods tomorrow morning, so Lu Yanhe looked at the time and decided not to go back to the dormitory tonight.

So, Lu Yanhe said goodbye to everyone and walked in another direction alone.

"I really envy Lu Yanhe a little bit, being able to rent a house outside the school." Some girls envied.

"Don't be envious. They have been working hard for their careers since they were fifteen. We were just students who only knew how to study at that time."

"Come to think of it, Miao Yue is also very enviable. She has already published two books." Another person sighed, "My mother told me to be more humble after coming to Zhenhua. She said that Zhenhua is full of talents. Now I understand. There are really too many talented students."

"Let's not be so arrogant, okay? We have just entered college. How can we compare with them? The book edited by Lu Yanhe has been put on the shelves. Have you read it?"

"I have read it. Alas, I don't think it's interesting. Most of them are articles written by celebrities. There are very few real literary works."

"It's the first issue. Putting this aside, I think it's pretty good."

"Don't you also like to write something? Why don't you submit it?"

"The things I write are not worthy of being published in a high-class publication."

...

Lu Yanhe returned to the dormitory. Only Yan Liang was there.

"Did Li Zhibai go home?" Lu Yanhe asked in surprise.

Li Zhibai never lived in the school dormitory. He thought the school dormitory environment was too bad and said he wanted to live anywhere else. He couldn't sleep at night.

So, usually Li Zhibai was not here, he went home.

Yan Liang shook his head and said, "Zhou Ping'an took a temporary play for him, and hurriedly packed his things and sent it over."

"Ah?" Lu Yanhe was shocked, "Isn't his next play "Washe" going to start filming at the end of the year?"

"He got an extra play, also a male lead play. Originally, Zuo Xing was the lead actor, but Zuo Xing stood up temporarily, so the crew looked for someone to save the situation and found Li Zhibai." Yan Liang said, "Li Zhibai went there cursing."

Lu Yanhe could almost imagine Li Zhibai's reaction.

He also laughed.

"Why did you come back so late?"

"I just had a dinner with my classmates. It was late. I need to read a book. If I read in the dormitory, it will affect other people's rest. They all go to bed early."

"Is that so." Yan Liang nodded and looked at him with a rather strange look.

"What's wrong?"

"I'm just a little surprised. I didn't expect you to study so hard even though you were admitted to Zhenhua." Yan Liang said, "You won't work in this field in the future anyway, so why are you still working so hard? Getting 80 or 90 points won't affect your graduation, right?"

Lu Yanhe was stunned.

He thought about it and shook his head, "I don't know, but it's not for getting 80 or 90 points, but if I don't study hard at Zhenhua, I think it's a pity."

Yan Liang looked puzzled.

Lu Yanhe shrugged and said, "Maybe I don't want to be perfunctory when I can do better."

"Okay." Yan Liang nodded, "Although I don't quite understand it, it's amazing that you can think like this. Sometimes I also wonder if my efforts are too opportunistic. I am still reflecting on an issue today, as if I I only want to work hard on things related to acting, and have no such idea at all in other areas. Some classmates asked me if I wanted to learn archery together, and I refused directly. They also said that maybe I would use this skill in acting in the future, so I suddenly came After gaining interest, I realized that I was... how to say, quite utilitarian in this area."

"That can't be said. Hard work means hard work. Being opportunistic means not wanting to work so hard. If you don't want to learn archery, you don't want to learn it. If you think it may be useful in acting in the future, you suddenly want to learn it. Doesn't it mean that you are working hard? Being opportunistic People will only think that they need to learn from scratch after using it in the future, or simply borrow the location to shoot." Lu Yanhe said, "Don't use me as a reference, then if I wasn't for "Phoenix Terrace", I wouldn't be able to get up and run every day. fitness."

Yan Liang smiled instantly.

"Fine."

-

Lu Yanhe didn't expect that Yan Liang would be so confused.

In fact, he and Yan Liang are both people who usually think more about themselves.

Too many thoughts and too many worries.

Lu Yanhe shook his head. As soon as he sat down, his cell phone rang.

He picked it up and saw that it was a message from Xin Zixing: The number of readers of "Jump Up" has exceeded 500,000!

"Jump Up" will be released on Yevei.com on the 25th. According to the previous agreement, the three days from the 25th to the 27th will be free reading time.

Lu Yanhe was pleasantly surprised when he received the news: Great!

Xin Zixing sent a second message: It has attracted nearly 200,000 new registered users, awesome!

Seeing this data, Lu Yanhe was equally happy.

Xin Zixing said: We will officially announce the good news later, please remember to forward it.

Lu Yanhe: Yeah.

Xin Zixing said: Let's find some time to discuss what to do next in "Jump Up"? The feedback from the first issue was much better than we expected, and the market response was also very good.

Lu Yanhe said: OK.

Xin Zixing: I will also make an appointment with Siqi to see if she will be back during the National Day. It would be best for us to sit together and discuss it in person.

Lu Yanhe: Okay.

-

The day "Jump Up" is officially charged is also the day the physical book "Jump Up" is officially released.

Lu Yanhe was taken to the Chengpin Bookstore in Guangmao Building by Xu Xiaoyin at noon to cooperate with this large bookstore in a book signing event.

In addition to Lu Yanhe, there are also Liujiazhen and Mingyin, all arranged by Jiangyin Publishing House.

Lu Yanhe could only sign for one hour, and he had a class at 2:30 in the afternoon.

Some media also came to the scene to take pictures of the signing scene.

Jiangyin Publishing House arranged interviews with two media outlets, but it turned out that there was only enough time to complete one, and the other had to be completed on the road.

"Sorry, I have to catch up with the afternoon class." Lu Yanhe apologized to them as soon as he got in the car.

The media were very forgiving and said it was no problem.

This kind of interview is a routine and promotional interview, and the questions have been communicated to the publisher a long time ago.

Lu Yanhe answered as usual.

As we were approaching school, the interview was expected to be over. Suddenly the other party asked: "Yan He, regarding the sales volume of the book "Jump Up", how much do you expect it to be?"

"Huh?" Lu Yanhe was stunned. He had not prepared for this question.

"Teacher Yu Jiang posted an update on her social media today. Have you seen it?" the other party asked.

Lu Yanhe shook his head, a little confused.

This car belongs to the media. From the driver to the reporters to the photographers, everyone belongs to this media company, not the publishing house.

What I was thinking at that time was that after the interview in the car, Lu Yanhe went directly to school. Before the on-site autograph signing was over, Lu Yanhe told Xu Xiaoyin and others not to follow them.

Now Lu Yanhe regrets a little.

When he was in a difficult position, no one could stand up to help him.

He had a hunch that the dynamic content posted by Teacher Yu Jiang would not be very positive.

He also remembered the name Yu Jiang. This female writer didn't like him very much on a show and said some unpleasant things.

He remembered.

The reporter took out his mobile phone and said: "Teacher Yu Jiang said: Asking a celebrity artist to be the editor-in-chief is a move by the publishing industry to bow to the popularity and traffic of the Internet. No real creator would bother to contribute to such an editor-in-chief. Creation is dignified." , not everyone can do it, its threshold is not the so-called popularity and traffic, no matter how high its sales volume is, it is just false. "

Lu Yanhe's heart skipped a beat.

OK, here we come.

Sure enough, it's not a good thing to say.

Lu Yanhe frowned silently.

The other party is still waiting for his answer.

Lu Yanhe thought for a moment and said, "I actually don't want to respond to such words."

The reporter asked: "Why?"

"If you discuss something with a preset attitude from the beginning, you can find faults no matter what. Teacher Yu Jiang is also a well-known writer. She has her ideas, and I have my attitude. If she feels that I am not suitable to be an editor-in-chief, she can also become the editor-in-chief herself and make a magazine." Lu Yanhe said, "In this world, if I am not the editor-in-chief, others cannot do it. The road is open. If you don’t like my path, there’s no need to deny it. Just find your own path.” (End of Chapter)
