Rebirth As a Writer In Britain
Chapter 69 The Envy, Jealousy and Hate of Students
For a while, the news that Bella was promoting the cover of Kevin's "Wuthering Heights" was also buzzing in the University of Edinburgh.
When Kevin came to school early this morning, he was looked at by many envious eyes, especially some men, who were both envious and jealous of Kevin. After all, Bella is their goddess. They have all fantasized about everything with Bella in countless black nights, but it is a pity that such a big star is too far away from them.
In order to avoid their stares, Kevin walked on a tree-lined path on purpose. The side of this tree-lined path was full of violets. It is said that this was the former president of the University of Edinburgh, James Finley. The purpose was to commemorate his early life. dead wife. Therefore, this tree-lined path was also given another name by lovers at the University of Edinburgh, "The Trail of Love."
Many couples at the University of Edinburgh walked this path hand in hand when they first started dating, hoping that they would love each other deeply. Like James Finley, even death could not stop missing his beloved wife.
Walking on this tree-lined path, Kevin can still see a short poem written by James Finley:
Please take your steps lightly and lightly,
Please make your voice softer and softer,
On this special day,
I need quiet thoughts --- dear Athena.
Although this poem is not long, the words are not very gorgeous. But the yearning and loyalty to his beloved wife expressed in every word is strong. After reading it, Kevin couldn't help but sigh the love story of this pair of affectionate love.
Kevin was about to leave after reading James Finley's poem, but Kovani patted Kevin on the shoulder with his dark palm. This dark-skinned guy, ever since Kevin helped him repay the usury his father owed. Only then did the former joy return to his face.
"Hi! Dear Kevin, I am so envious of you. I heard that your novel asked Bella to help with the cover promotion?" Kovani said in surprise.
"Yes, she counts as my friend. So, I invited her this time." Kevin said casually.
"Oh my God. You are so enviable. Do you know how many people want to know Bella but have no chance, even if I want to see her up close. But you have become friends with her!"
"It's nothing. She has been to my house for dinner. I knew I would call you next time."
"What? You said that Bella has been to your house for dinner? God, dear Kevin, we have known each other for so long, and it is the first time I feel that you are so good! You are so different beyond imagination."
At this time, Kovani can only lament that the distance between himself and Kevin is getting farther and farther. Of course, they will always be best friends. It's just that he didn't expect Kevin to completely change his life in such a short period of time. After all, a few months ago, the entire University of Edinburgh knew that Kevin was a pauper with no future. But now? It is estimated that only those who are mentally ill will think this statement is true.
"Yes, Bella came to my house not long ago. Kovani, come on, maybe you can become a better person." Kevin encouraged.
"Thank you, I think I will. Oh, your current "Wuthering Heights" has aroused the curiosity of many people because of Bella doing the cover promotion. As a good friend, maybe you will not be stingy and give me a few more Ben." Kovani demanded.
The reason why Kovani wanted a few more copies was to show off to his friends. After all, these books were all sent by the original author.
And autographed. Thinking about it is a different thing.
Kevin nodded, his expression perfectly fine. It's just that he hasn't got the sample book yet, so he has to wait until he gets it before sending it out.
The number of curious people about "Wuthering Heights" on the Internet is still increasing. At this time, the talents of the London Literary Publishing House really realized how powerful the effect of star plus writer is.
It is precisely because of the alternative and innovative publicity of the London Literary Publishing House that many colleagues have also noticed it.
In Dehai Publishing House, President Lavin and Editor Zela also paid attention to this information for the first time. They originally thought that "Wuthering Heights" was another movie that Director Hudson chose to suddenly give up "Jane Eyre". But after seeing the news that "Wuthering Heights" was just a new work of Kevin, as professionals, they didn't think so.
Yes, the voice is indeed very high now, and some readers are indeed full of curiosity about "Wuthering Heights". But many laymen ignore one thing, and that is profit.
Clothes, beverages and medicines are advertised by celebrities, even if the prices of the celebrities are high, perhaps they will all be profitable. After all, these clothes, drinks, or medicines can be sold again and again, and even if their reputation is established, the profits they earn will be even higher.
But novels are different. If the sales of novels are not good, the cost price will be lost. Or if the other channels of the novel cannot be opened, it is estimated that the money hired by the stars will not be earned back.
Therefore, President Lavine and Editor Zela both think that the London Literary Publishing House is taking money this time to be self-willed. If "Wuthering Heights" does not sell well, it may not be possible to print it for the second time, or for the third time. If it is printed, it will only lose money.
"It hasn't been long since "Jane Eyre" was published. How could Kevin have written "Wuthering Heights" in such a short period of time? This proves that this novel is not well thought out, and I don't think it is too exciting. It's gone," Zara said.
"Maybe Kevin wants to write faster, while his fame is still there, to make more money. But doing so will have the opposite effect. After all, even fools know that only careful and slow thinking articles are good. Article. If you are too impatient, the plot will naturally become empty."
Therefore, President Lavin and Zela also have reason to believe that this "Wuthering Heights" is just that there are more curious people now, and they will definitely regret it when they read it. After all, this is a long novel that was completed in a short period of time. No matter how rich the author's imagination is, there will definitely be many shortcomings.
A not-so-great novel, and Bella was hired to do a cover promotion with a lot of money, it is estimated that the readers will be sprayed to death by then. Wanting better sales is simply a fantasy.
Thinking of this, Zela felt that Kevin had ruined himself this time.
"I didn't expect you to be too eager for success like many newcomers. Being too impetuous is never a good thing." Zela thought to herself.
Although some other publishing houses felt that the publicity method of the London Literary Publishing House was very good and innovative, but when they thought about the price of hiring celebrities, they felt that this move seemed too risky. After all, no one can guarantee the sales volume of a novel, or the marketability of a novel is difficult to estimate. (asking for a reward, asking for a recommendation)
