Chapter 103: Neither admit nor deny
Du Caige stared at the group chat dialog box. Because there were too many speakers, the refresh rate was very fast, and he was often pushed to the top before he finished reading a sentence.
He would occasionally type a sentence or two, selectively answering a certain fan's question.
"Will Baguio be resurrected?"
"everything is possible."
"Haida, you wouldn't write Xiaofan to death, would you?"
"That's a good idea, I'll think about it."
"Will Xiaofan and Xueqi be together in the end?"
"No matter what I write in the end, you can write your own fanfiction: Xiaofan and Xueqi."
"Haida, are you really Lin Ke? Lin Ke, who used to write songs for those singers and queens?"
"No comment."
"Haida, I'm a fan of Jiang Youxi! What song did you write for him, can you tell us in advance?"
"Please wait for the surprise."
...
Du Caige rarely interacts with fans.
He's not a star, he's not good at this.
But this time there was no way, Li Zhe strongly asked him to cooperate. After all, in March, Zhu Xian won the third in the total monthly ticket list and the first in the Xianxia category monthly ticket list.
This is not only an honor, but also can increase Du Caige's manuscript fee a little, which has both face and practical benefits.
"We must give some feedback to the fans. After all, it is the result of the joint efforts of many fans to be on the monthly ticket list. Moreover, we need to chat with a few fans who have contributed the most and give some rewards. In addition, we will organize a lottery. Subscribers can participate in the lucky draw..."
Du Caige doesn't understand operations, so leave professional things to professional people to do.
Since he handed over the operation to Li Zhe, he must pay enough attention to Li Zhe's proposal.
Even if he is actually very salty, he would rather go to a movie than interact with fans for 2 hours.
But since you are eating this bowl of rice and taking readers' subscriptions and rewards, you must respect this profession and the efforts of fans.
After chatting a few words with those online Silver League (Golden League "Wait for you to forget who I am" is not online today), the exhausted Du Caige made his LL software into a stealth state.
And Li Zhe started the lottery and announced the winners in various groups.
This time, Du Caige didn’t spend too much money. The prizes given are mainly signed physical books, regular physical books (the above two will be mailed after publication), customized model figures, exquisite bookmarks, and character illustrations. , Genesis Coin recharge, etc.
In the future, such activities will definitely continue, and the prizes will be upgraded.
The expenses of Li Zhe's team are actually not small, not only the salaries and expenses of the three members of Li Zhe's team, but also the expenses of hiring the navy and entrusting them, but with Du Caige's current income, it is naturally affordable.
Du Caige has even made preparations for the expansion of the operation team. Li Zhe has mentioned to him several times, saying that the manpower is a bit stretched.
If Du Caige wants to achieve his small goal, which spans the two fields of online and physical publishing, the current team is definitely not enough.
The life of the code word is very fulfilling, and time flies quickly.
Du Caige always felt that one day was over before he did anything.
Looking back on the experience of these days, other than carrying 20,000 to 30,000 words every day, it seems that I haven't done anything important.
Every day is listening to music, watching movies, and chatting with people.
My editor is fond of, Duan Xiaochen, and my sister Du Yanqi, who are often chatting objects.
Sometimes Liu Zifei will also send him a few text messages, discussing movies, or talking about daily life.
Du Caige was worried that Liu Zifei and Duan Xiaochen would express their love in chat, and he would be embarrassed.
Fortunately, they are restrained.
Liu Zifei talked with him as a good teacher and friend,
Seems to have completely forgotten that little ambiguity at the beginning.
In the chat, Duan Xiaochen will inevitably show affection and miss him, and sometimes tease him like a joke, but it will not be so direct that he can't get off the stage.
Du Caige didn't want to maintain this ambiguous relationship with Duan Xiaochen, and wanted to make it clear several times. But after he made it clear, Duan Xiaochen didn't flinch; and he didn't want to be too heartless. After all, the original owner ate people, and he felt apologetic, so he could only be vague.
Du Caige sometimes thinks about whether the friends around him are too yin and yang to decline? Why are all the people I often chat with women?
If you think about it, it is not the reason why Yin is rising and Yang is declining.
After all, his male friends also include Jiang Ruoxi, Tang Yezhi and others.
It's just that, if you want to chat between men, you have to sit out, have a little wine, stir fry two small dishes, and at least have a plate of peanuts.
Otherwise how to talk? Text each other to greet each other?
"What are you doing?"
"I miss you."
That's too gay.
In the past few days, many people in the industry have called, some want to ask him to make a song, and some are like Director Jin (Du Caige still doesn't know what director he is), saying that they want to invite him out to sit and have a chat with a few People in the circle get together.
Someone also left a message on Weibo: Are you Lin Ke? .
Du Caige is always blurred.
Neither admitting that he is Lin Ke, nor denying it.
This is because in the parking lot that night, Tang Yezhi told him that the name "Lin Ke" was too annoying, and the original "Lin Ke photography scandal" offended many people and lost popularity.
So I hope this time, let Du Caige sign those songs under other stage names, and don't publicly acknowledge the identity of "Lin Ke", and deal with it vaguely, so as not to be targeted by those who are interested.
Du Caige doesn't really care, but since he wants to support Jiang Youxi, he has to consider this point, so as not to adversely affect Jiang Youxi's new song.
Therefore, unless it is in front of someone he is particularly familiar with, he will be vague and will not admit that he is "Lin Ke."
There are also singers who want to ask him to sing.
Du Caige politely refused.
Said that he has been busy recently, and I will talk about it in a while.
Of course this is just an excuse.
He's not that busy yet.
Although in a few days, he plans to start publishing "Ghost Blowing the Lamp".
But there are already a lot of manuscripts, so there is no need to worry about the update speed.
He just wanted to let the situation ferment a little further. When Jiang Youxi's album was released and everyone saw the effect, then he would talk about selling songs again.
As for gatherings with people in the circle, he doesn't really want to get together now.
On the one hand, I want to play down the identity of "Lin Ke", but to re-enter this circle as "Hemingway".
On the other hand, he plans to contact the original owner's psychological counselor "Quan" after a while to collect some information about the original owner, and then confront those who may be friends or enemies.
Several singers who have collaborated with the original owner, including first-tier and second-tier singers who have only collaborated once or twice, as well as singer Wang Su Rui, Peng Sizhang, Zhang Zhuowei, etc., have also obtained his current mobile phone number from various channels and called. greeting.
Du Caige dealt with it silently. Say less and make less mistakes.
These singers are all human beings and will not bore Du Caige. Since Du Caige didn't want to talk on the phone, they posted @Du Caige on Weibo, showing all kinds of favors.
The frequent @ of these well-known singers has attracted the curiosity of many fans, and has gradually increased Du Caige's Weibo fans to more than 300,000.
For a creative musician who hides behind the scenes, that number of fans is already exaggerated.
Although this popularity is very false, if Du Caige continues to have good works coming out, this popularity may also be turned into reality.
Time is as smooth as water.
One day, Du Caige received a strange call. The other party claimed to be a correctional policeman from the "Xincheng Prison" who was in charge of Du Shuang.
"May I ask your relationship with Du Shuang?"
"He's my brother." Du Caige said.
"Understood. Do you agree to let Du Shuang add your number as a family number? In the future, he can call you a family number through the phone in our prison."
"I agree."
Before the other party hung up the phone, Du Caige asked how to account for Du Shuang.
The other party currently has two ways to account, one is to pay cash at the prison, and the other is to send money by post, indicating Du Shuang's name, prison area and serial number.
"I have one last question," Du Caige asked. "What crime did my brother commit, and how long is his sentence? I haven't contacted him for a long time, and I don't know much about him."
"Oh, he was charged with intentional wounding. He has done well in our prison, and after a commutation, he now has 15 months remaining."
"thanks."
