Chapter 251
In the next few days, Lu Qingfeng would take time to chat with Professor Xia.
Sometimes I would bring my violin and play some of the melodies for the elderly.
I took out the lyrics I had already written and discussed them with him.
Although Professor Xia always smiled and said that he was not a literature major, the old man still wore reading glasses and read every word carefully.
And every time he went there, he would see the four or five-year-old child nearby.
Lu Qingfeng couldn't help being curious, so he asked, mainly because a child of this age should be going to school.
Professor Xia told him that the child had nothing to do with him, but was the child of a faculty member living there and had suffered from autism since childhood.
This is what people commonly call autism.
The parents were worried that the child named Junjun would be bullied, so they did not send him to school for the time being.
I don't know why, but Junjun, who has difficulty communicating with his parents, is very close to the elderly.
Professor Xia also felt sorry for the child, so he helped take care of him while Junjun's parents were at work.
Of course, it is mainly the nanny who takes care of them, after all, the old man is so old.
After the second week of military training, the lyrics and music of "Yanyuan Love" were all completed and we entered the rehearsal stage.
Lu Qingfeng became even busier. While doing military training every day, he also had to check the progress of the two orchestras and the results of their performances.
Then see where there are any shortcomings and make adjustments.
The choir is a little easier, as long as the male and female voices are well matched, you can practice slowly.
The symphony orchestra is the big project.
The coordination and interlude of each instrument need to be adjusted one by one.
That is to say, there are relatively few people in the Peking University Symphony Orchestra, otherwise it would take a lot of time for each group of instruments to get used to each other.
The good news is that Yang Xiuxiu’s work has finally been published by Children’s Literature.
The editor-in-chief of his magazine was replaced by Lao Qian.
Perhaps knowing that he was in military training and had no time, Lao Qian just said hello and didn't bother him.
After Yang Xiuxiu resigned from the magazine, she went directly to Shanghai to discuss the copyright of "You Are the Apple of My Eye".
This youth novel is currently serialized in "Mengya" for one-third of its original publication.
It began to show its charm.
It is different from the youth literature of today which is full of painful complaints without any reason.
Although it is also about love, its unique fresh temperament and the feeling of innocent first love happening around you are well received among young people.
This is also the reason why "Mengya" is eager to publish this book.
Firstly, the book is very popular, and secondly, Lu Qingfeng himself is on the rise.
It would be a waste not to go public at this opportunity.
"Germination is willing to give you a 12 percent royalty, but they also want to use that price to sign you to a publishing contract for the next three books."
Yang Xiuxiu called him in Shanghai.
Going from 10 percent in the first book to 12 percent is a big jump.
Normally, a writer needs several years of accumulation before making his debut.
Only after accumulating readers, fame, and market can potential writers experience a breakthrough.
Therefore, the initial royalties will not change much.
The reason why "Mengya" magazine gave him a substantial increase in royalties was not because they were doing charity.
They must have conducted an investigation and were optimistic about his performance in the book market, and were sure that "You Are the Apple of My Eye" would make money.
In addition, we are also optimistic about his future value.
They want to use the early benefits to exchange for future profits.
"Yes, but three is too many. I can only sign one more book with them, and it's limited to young adult literature."
Lu Qingfeng thought about it and said.
Although there is no distinction between the types of books published by publishing houses, each publishing house has its own strengths.
The focus of resources is also different.
It is impossible for Lu Qingfeng to hand over the mystery novel to "Mengya", just like he would not hand over the youth novel to "Years of Reasoning".
