96. The wind was so loud that I couldn’t hear clearly. The hour hand pointed to 9:00 a.m. on January 1, 1998. The Yuezhou People’s Square was already crowded with people. The urban garden covering an area of ??nearly 80,000 square meters, except for half of the green space, Other places where people can walk and sit are almost crowded with people. Half of them are boys and girls aged fifteen or sixteen. The central venue was filled with tables and chairs that looked like a meeting. The five or six staff members on the rostrum were busy going back and forth nervously, not missing any possible omissions. Below are the press corps, including nearly 20 media outlets from Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, as well as the imperial capital, Hunan, Hubei and Sichuan satellite TV stations, Southern Weekend, and even two foreign media stationed in Hong Kong. Thirty or forty people got up and sat in the venue with great interest, waiting for the press conference to be held. What attracts so many media is simply the impact of Siyue Culture's two red books since the second half of 1997. One is "Those Things About the Song Dynasty" which has been selling well for nearly half a year and sales are still strong. The other book is "Yunhuang. Kyushu Piaoling" which has gone viral in middle and high school campuses across the country. And when Siyue Culture released the news this time that the author of "Yunhuang" would be signing books and selling books on the spot, it naturally attracted a lot of media. In the past few years before the Furious of the Century, concepts such as "paparazzi" and "hype" had not yet emerged in China, so on the one hand, readers were curious about the authors of these two books, and on the other hand, Si Yue was interested in Author information is tight-lipped. It can be said that almost all book lovers or insiders in the cultural circle are not curious about these "two" mysterious writers. Now that Siyue has made news, and there is also the second volume of "Song Dynasty", Two new masterpieces by the author of "Song Dynasty", as well as the second volume of "Yunhuang. Kyushu Drifting", the second part of the "Yunhuang" series In total, five new books were reprinted and launched at the same time, which immediately attracted the attention of the whole country. . "Hello, dear guests, and hello to all the readers and friends here!" Tingting, the emcee hired from the Yuezhou Art Academy, walked up to the rostrum under the electronic screen: "In this new year, on behalf of Yuezhou City, I From all the staff of Siyue Culture, welcome everyone" A meaningless welcome speech cannot arouse people's interest at all. Its biggest effect is just to silence the discussion of thousands of people around. As for Everyone's eyes had already passed over the emcee, who was definitely a beauty from the south of the Yangtze River, and landed on the row of podiums behind her. The formation of four men and one woman made the reporters below look a little stupid. The fat man in the middle was said to be the boss of Siyue. They had received some advance notice from their colleagues. Another younger man took the initiative to sit next to the fat boss and made it clear that he was an assistant. The two men on the other side both wore glasses and had meticulous collars on their shirts. They were full of literati. . Such an uncle-like figure shouldn't be the author of a shounen manga, right? There was a reporter below who started talking with the cameraman in his station, but there was also a reporter from a magazine who knew a little bit about comics. He smiled and explained to the two colleagues next to him who had experienced a lot of passion: "I know. Japanese comics? Those are the robot cats and beautiful girls that children love to read. They are all drawn by middle-aged uncles and aunts. So don’t look at the two people above who look like dogs. Maybe they are just children at heart. Zhou Botong is also crazy." The colleagues in the circle nodded "That's it", and then speculated with interest: "Then which one of them do you think may be the author of "Yun Huang"? "It's boring, I guess it's the author of this girl's comic." The reporter from the magazine glanced around, his eyes clearly showing how you can judge a book by its appearance: "The location, look at the location, it's a book signing party." , how could it be possible to put the author at the end! " "There is a little girl in the middle!" someone reminded, which immediately caused everyone to burst into laughter. This little girl has an excellent temperament. Even if she is sitting there doing nothing, she still has an eye-catching charm. But the most important thing is that "Yunhuang" is not the kind of preschool children's book in China today. The plot concept, character creation, including the humor and wisdom contained in every line, cannot be written by children of this age. ah. It is more reliable to say that she relied on her face to film. Then I heard the emcee who had finished speaking walk back to the rostrum and sat next to the young man who looked like an assistant: "Next, I would like to invite Miss Su Wan, the author of the "Yunhuang" series of comics, to give a speech. [Ye * Zi] [ Yo*yo】"Eh? Miss? The master of ceremonies is talking about Miss, not Mr! The reporters in the audience were stunned for a full beat in an extremely unprofessional manner before they remembered something. One by oneHe hurriedly raised the camera in his hand, and suddenly there was a loud clicking sound. ???????????????? The reporter who first popularized the “common sense of comic book authors” had all the facial features on his face suddenly squeezed into a geometric diagram that even a Galaxy-class machine couldn’t solve, which was so magical. They were not the ones who were most shocked, but the ones who had the biggest reaction were the children, who surrounded the middle field with water. From the standard Loli young lady in her teens to the young lady in her early twenties, there is almost a complete gap between the two generations. I don’t know which one - or which ones took the lead in shouting "Su Wan", The atmosphere in the entire square immediately boiled up, and the noise caused residents in the small district across the street to open their windows and look down at it. "Su Wan! Su Wan! Su Wan!" "Ah! I'm going to die. The author of "Yunhuang" is actually the iceberg beauty!" "Su Wan, book signings, we have book signings!" Seeing the current situation In the already feverish atmosphere, the fat manager in the middle of the rostrum was also filled with surprises. As expected, the kid got it right. The audience for these comics, namely the children of all ages in the square, was really quite a bit The posture of chasing stars. And Yang Yi, who was leisurely watching the live TV broadcast at the Siyue base camp half a block away, had a look on his face that was full of contentment for a moment, and then changed into a self-confidence that was wiped out in the middle of talking and laughing. I'm sure, the transition is extremely smooth and natural. Of course, there is a star-chasing attitude, otherwise the mystery at the beginning, the continuous momentum building in recent days, and the image design of the Magic City stylists are racking their brains. If the current Su Wan is placed at a comic exhibition like the one in later generations, I'm afraid Some fans have already begun to storm the podium. Despite this, the staff maintaining order are still overwhelmed. Rogo even considered calling the police to come and assist. "Hello, viewers, I am Wenya from Yuezhou Satellite TV. I am currently located in the People's Square of Yuezhou City, bringing you a report on the Siyue Culture New Year's Day Book Fair and the on-site signing of the "Yunhuang" comic series Live The atmosphere is very warm, and this enthusiasm is caused by the sixteen-year-old beautiful girl writer Su Wan, the author of the "Yunhuang" series of comics" The camera turned to the surrounding readers and saw boys and girls. The expressions of excitement and excitement made many little girls blush, and their bodies trembled with excitement. Yang Yi was really worried. If he held such a Su Wan out, would those little girls be in trouble on Lily's street? On the way back, going further and further? “Forget it, just sink as long as you sink, it’s better than degenerating into a rotten girl in the future. Then a vaguely familiar face in the camera caught Yang Yi's sight. Is this Lin Momo? ??A sip of tea squirted all over her face. This little girl who was extremely unworthy of her name actually came to Yuezhou? After experiencing the initial surprise and excitement, the reporters in the room were not only filled with gossip but their blood was still boiling. Their brains were running at high speed. They were preparing questions that could arouse readers' interest. For the next question-and-answer session, Don't let the chain fall off temporarily. Of course, his hands were not idle either. When Su Wan placed "Jiuzhou Piao Ling" and "Mo. Yanshi", which was about to be signed, on the left and right next to his face for people to take pictures, that picture and the two comics The faces of the people on the cover are so dazzling that they have murdered so many pieces of film. "Compared with Su Wan, the so-called beauty writers in later generations are just scum with a combat power of only 5. Finally, after Su Wan finished speaking, Luo Ge finished speaking, and the other two line editors and operations editors also finished speaking, the right to speak was transferred to the reporters present. And when the beautiful emcee who had been robbed of the camera announced the start of the question and answer session, a forest of human arms below dazzled her eyes. ~ In ancient times, most talented and beautiful young ladies from rich families could only throw hydrangeas in this manner. The person who presided over the press conference was the emcee, but the one who decided who would ask the questions was the fat manager who kept smiling into squinting eyes. The more times like this, the more his eyes couldn't blink: "For the first question, please ask this Come and propose it, sir." Gong Xiaobing, a reporter from Yuezhou Evening News, was also Luo Ge's friend with crotchless pants. After receiving the fat boss's sexually suggestive look, the gentle and uncrowned king couldn't wait to stand up: "Sister Su Wanxiao, you are here. OK, this is Gong Xiaobing from Yuezhou Evening News. I have a few questions here. First, what is your current status? Are you a student or a full-time cartoonist? Second, what is your motivation for creating the "Yunhuang" series? ? Wealth or fame? Thirdly, I noticed that your works incorporate a lot of traditional Chinese culture, such as Chu Wu culture, ancient social views, "Mountains and Seas", "Huainanzi" These are all things you really have. Is it just for the purpose of completing the comic and looking up information?read? " These three questions were carefully designed by Mr. Fat. Su Wan had memorized the standard answers countless times. They were too easy. However, as soon as Su Wan opened his mouth, something unexpected came up. " Full-time" Su Wan paused, and then said expressionlessly: "Mom" Luo Ge almost stopped his heartbeat, and he felt like calling Su Wangu nainai - Hey, director, that's not how the lines were written. ! You are jumping out word by word. Are we holding a live demonstration of the latest intelligent robot? Words are like gold, this is called cherishing words like gold! Another girl would have wanted to hold the microphone and talk endlessly, but it was better for Su Wan. She only asked two questions in two phrases. I have never found this girl to be so good at summarizing. But fortunately, the girl in the third question was not so concise. She only said the core words and let the audience think about it: "As for the things incorporated into the comics, I can't say that I am masterful, but I don't treat them casually, but We don't want to know anything about the things left by our ancestors Of course, the things I added in the comics are still very simple and even superficial, and I just hope to serve as a starting point. "Su Wan had never said so many words in one breath, but because he was reciting the whole thing, he didn't feel too much pressure. And the reporters in the audience also seized every opportunity and clicked the shutter crazily. With that, After Su Wan answered the first reporter's question, and because the last question made people understand the far-reaching intentions of her—Yang Yi, to be precise—the audience did not hesitate to give warm applause. Just when Rogo was about to call on the second speaker, a powerful voice came in very suddenly: "A liar, a plagiarist, and he has the nerve to talk about ideology and culture! ” Wow! The whole place started to stir. The reporters in the central field all turned their heads to look for the source of the sound. But even more eclipsed than them were the staff sent to the scene by Siyue. Finally, all eyes were focused. Looking at a middle-aged man who squeezed out from the crowd, this man looked like he was indignant. He was carrying a portable speaker. It can be imagined that his voice was definitely planned for a long time. The security guards at the scene did not need to give orders. Three or four people immediately came up and tried to take him out of the field, but the man's next words made the security guards shrink back: "What? In the clear world, are plagiarists so lawless? If you feel guilty, just do it! " Several people turned back to look at Rogo on the stage. After all, he was the person in charge here. The fat manager, who had recovered from the sudden blow, signaled the security personnel to stop with a dark face, and he himself Picked up the phone: "Sir, do you know what you are doing now? If there is no adequate explanation for what happened today, I will definitely sue you for defamation. " "You want to read a plagiarist? Do you have the nerve to sue the owner of the suffering? "The man smiled sadly, then raised a thick stack of manuscript paper in his hand: "The "Yunhuang. Jiuzhou Piaoling" and the "Mo. Yanshi" were all conceived by my son for several years. They were drawn from the Classic of Mountains and Seas. The adapted story has been shamelessly plagiarized by you! "The whole place was roaring like a passing hurricane. Because the man was using a loudspeaker, even the people at the edge of the venue could hear it clearly. And the airflow and noise generated by thousands of people making noises and discussions, Su Wan, who was in the middle of the venue, found it difficult to breathe. This was the girl's first appearance. Although she tried to stay calm, her mind was helplessly blank. , coupled with the extremely true-sounding revelation, it immediately caught the sensitive nerves of the reporters present, and the shutter speed almost doubled. Some of the media who Rogo had greeted in advance looked solemn for a while. They got up, but whether it was out of professional habit or the idea of ??doing their best for their friends, they finally started to record it. Some Su Wan fans at the scene became restless, yelling at the man, and they were very emotional. He was furious, but immediately there were other voices with opposite opinions. When Luo Ge heard these voices that had not opposed him earlier, but supported the man at this time, he knew that there must be trouble today. " You see, these are the drawings of my son. He is a student in an ordinary middle school in the outer suburbs. He usually can't bear to spend an extra cent of pocket money, so he saved up all his money to buy drawing paper, pen and ink. His biggest and only hobby is these comics! "The man showed the manuscript paper in his hand with sadness and anger: "But just when he was about to submit the manuscript to the publishing house, he found that his work had beenShameless plagiarism, can you imagine how huge a blow this has to a teenage child? " Before he finished speaking, those people with ulterior motives who had sneaked in from the beginning immediately started making noises: "What kind of beautiful cartoonist? Is she someone's little wife? Plagiarism is shameless! " "Speak clearly, make things clear! " "Return the pride of Yuezhou! I think it’s Yuezhou’s shame! "Under the opponent's pressing step by step, Luo Ge couldn't bear it anymore. He slapped the table and stood up. His teeth were almost broken: "Fart, who asked you to slander me! Please explain it clearly to me! "But even with a microphone, his voice was instantly drowned in the raging din, without even a splash of water. The emcee and the editorial assistant next to him were all shouting calm down, be quiet, etc. But it also has no effect at all. At this time when everyone is shocked and talking, who will calm down and listen to their explanations? "I still have evidence to ask you, this is "Jiuzhou Piaoling", it is not written clearly. Baibai, is it a 'zero' painting or a 'one' painting? So who is zero and who is one? Why is the author now yours again? "The man who caused the trouble did not forget the instructions of the person behind him, and asked him the repeatedly heated questions. Su Wan was completely confused on the stage. She, who was originally taciturn, faced these questions. There was no way to tell, and the restless venue now looked more like a man-eating hell. She almost spent all her strength to maintain the courage to persist. “Say, I can’t explain it. ? The middle-aged man became more and more unforgiving: "Why is it stated on the cover that there are two people, but now you are the only author? Do you feel guilty?" " I don't know how many people of unknown origin are in the venue. Anyway, there are voices everywhere now such as "It's shameful to plagiarize" and "Give back other people's things", which is quite inflammatory. Although there are also die-hard fans of Su Wan Arguments and even scoldings only made the scene more complicated. Coupled with the fact that some media did not say hello, they were only focused on capturing this extremely explosive news, and there were even reporters who rushed to interview the man. The scene was nothing. He could control it in a short while. When the man saw someone coming up for an interview, he immediately slapped the manuscript paper in his hand with red eyes and handed it to the noses of several reporters. He did not forget to emphasize again and again: "Tell me, their comics clearly state that the authors are two people, but now they only bring in a girl who doesn't understand anything. What does this mean? Could it be that someone plagiarized it for him? "The girl who has never experienced such a scene has just barely regained consciousness now. Seeing the other party's aggressive look and more and more doubts, she can't help but panic. Everything that happens now, she doesn't know what will happen in the end. How it will end, but in the girl's mind, this is already an unsolvable problem. Gritting her teeth, the girl picked up the microphone, not to defend herself, but to look directly at the audience: "There are no two people, Yihe. All zeros are mine, and I didn’t plagiarize. " No matter the outcome is good or bad, I can work hard to prevent him from getting involved in this dispute. But I didn't consider that after saying this, I was even more suspicious of unclear reasons. . . . . I just went to the bathroom and missed the scene where the middle-aged man appeared. When Yang Yi returned to the TV, there was an uproar in the square. Then he saw that Su Wan was planning something. After repeated questioning, he swayed, but insisted that he was the so-called one and zero, and his pale face would not show even to death. There was a snap! The thin-glazed teacup in Yang Yi's hand was pinched. Shattered. Secretary Luo Ge, who rushed over in a panic, was about to say something when he saw the scene in front of him. The tea dyed red flowed down Yang Yi's hand and dripped to the ground, which was particularly dazzling. Yang" This is the first time Yang Yi interrupted a woman: "Arrange the car, I'll go there now. "She didn't have any symptoms, but her voice became hoarse as if she couldn't hang a string. The extremely calm expression made Rogo's secretary lover couldn't help but tremble. She didn't dare to say a word and hurried to arrange the vehicle. She just walked out of the door. After exiting, I heard a banging sound in the room. It was clear that bottles and cans were smashed on the floor Shaking his head at the editor who leaned out from the editing room next to him, the little secretary also gritted his teeth. He rushed into the backyard. Yang Yi did not follow him out immediately, but tried to calm down at the door. He hated that despicable and shameless person who ran out of nowhere, and he hated the person behind it. hate myself forWhy don't you insist and agree to Su Wan standing at the front desk? That way the girl will not be attacked like this. Wait for me, Su Wan. Wait for me, those hidden pieces of garbage. … … Siyue’s official car was speeding along the busiest main road, and it only took half the time to rush into the crowded square. Before the car stopped, Yang Yi had already opened the car door and rushed out, almost staggering due to the inertia. After passing through countless obstructing crowds, I saw the crowded venue. The area originally used for reading experience activities was already crowded with people. The press box under the rostrum was mostly empty. The owners of these seats were either huddled in front of the rostrum or interviewing the surrounding audience. Rogo is not present, and he is probably there to smooth things over. Now only his assistant and another editor are trying to maintain the scene. In front of Su Wan, two reporters were standing with their microphones extended. He pushed the two uncrowned kings away violently, ignoring their surprised and angry looks from beginning to end, and stepped forward to hold the girl's hand. "Follow me first." Su Wan stood stubbornly, her eyes filled with panic and worry. Because of Yang Yi's sudden appearance, countless eyes suddenly focused on the two of them. There were reporters from behind who kept shouting: "That little friend over there, what is your relationship with Miss Su Wan? Why did you take her away?" More targeted slogans were shouted out , there were thousands of people watching and making noisy discussions with curiosity. Ignoring everything around him, Yang Yi pulled Su Wan to his side and took her from the shortcut behind the electronic screen to the square management office, where Siyue temporarily rented a resting place. Su Wan's anxious voice came from behind him: "What are you doing here? You can go alone! I can't escape like this!" He held her hand tighter, and the answer that floated in the wind made her eyes well. Together with the chest bsp; "The wind is too loud and I can't hear clearly."
