Chapter 230 Writing a Book
In the next class, Song Yi thought he could be quiet for a while, but just a few minutes into the class, his phone vibrated again. Fortunately, he learned his lesson this time and directly moved to the side of the back row with others. As soon as the teacher on the podium bowed his head, Song Yi sneaked out again.
This time, Wang Mingyang called and discussed with him about Zhou Yu whom he was preparing to promote.
Originally, Wang Mingyang and the others were responsible for this matter. Although Song Yi also cared about Zhou Yu, he did not have so much time to guide her in detail. Instead, Song Yi asked Wang Mingyang to invite back to Hong Kong's experienced insiders to provide all-round guidance and training for Zhou Yu.
Song Yi wanted to give Wang Mingyang and the others a chance. With such energy, if the Chinese entertainment company wants to cultivate stars, it will have a lot of experience. Wang Mingyang naturally understood it, but according to his personal nature, he was eager to stir up Zhou Yu first. It was difficult to get to the next level in a short while.
Wang Mingyang called Song Yi, and said that he would discuss with Song Yi, asking him to take out the songs he had written for Zhou Yu first, so that Zhou Yu would be familiar with it first, and wait for the recording studio to be built in a few days, and if he could pass the test, he could burn it into a record and release it.
Song Yi understood his eagerness and said it was OK now, and he just gave it to Zhou Yu.
Apart from this matter, Wang Mingyang had nothing else to do, but he was particularly good at talking about it, and making a phone call was also a good way to contact relationships. He had a very good relationship with Song Yi, so he talked casually and then received the call after chatting for a while.
After answering the phone, Song Yi was thinking about sending all the copied songs to Zhou Yu. He should indeed let her practice more. Although it is impossible for her first album to be perfect, she still strives to achieve the best level.
Thinking of this, Song Yi had a headache and had to give He Minyi a few songs. However, Song Yi was used to it. It was no big deal to copy one song, and it was a bit of a big deal to copy a few more songs. He planned to pick a few of those once popular songs for He Minyi.
Then, he sneaked back to the classroom like a thief.
All the classmates around him were no longer surprised. The boy named Wang Feng took advantage of Song Yi's departure and looked through the notes given to him by Qiao Yurou. When Song Yi came back, Wang Feng whispered to him, "These girls are too serious. The teachers will probably feel ashamed when they see this note."
"Yes, there are definitely not many of us boys doing this well." Song Yi replied that his relationship with his classmates was pretty good, at least, he would not make people feel annoying.
"Yes, the last semester final exam, all the first few students in the class were girls. I don't think there will be any changes this semester." Wang Feng's own grades are not very good, and most boys are more playful, and they are not as diligent as girls in self-study, and they don't pay much attention to scores, so they have such a situation.
No matter what other boys think, Song Yi is in a mentality of 600 points. In fact, with his attendance rate, as long as the teachers are willing to catch him, he will definitely be the type of person who fails.
After all, nothing happened after coming back this time. Song Yi read the notes and then got off the get out of class.
After class, Qiao Yurou came over and asked him if he wanted to read notes. She could bring him to class tomorrow. She knew quite well that Song Yi might read books and notes during class. When he was not in school, he was a busy person and didn't have much time to read books.
"I want to trouble Xiaorou again, why are you so embarrassed?" Song Yi was actually not embarrassed at all.
Qiao Yurou smiled and said nothing. In her opinion, what she did was just a trivial thing. Song Yi's help to her was so great. No matter how many such things she did, she would not be able to repay him.
What is even more commendable is that Song Yi does not need her reward.
Song Yi was going home for dinner tonight, and asked Qiao Yurou to go with her, saying that her godmother Su Yalan missed her.
"The design I originally planned to complete this morning has not been completed yet. I want to wait and continue to do it, so I won't go to have a meal." Qiao Yurou replied to him.
"Then next time, when you are done, we will celebrate your achievements." Song Yi couldn't force her. Under her gentle appearance, Qiao Yurou was actually a very independent girl.
Qiao Yurou smiled and said yes, she always remembered what her parents told her that she was unworthy of her.
Song Yi doesn’t have to worry too much about her. Qiao Yurou is quite popular among girls and is very loved by everyone. Girls often like to join in groups, even going to the bathroom.
After saying goodbye to Qiao Yurou, Song Yi took over Lin Baoqing.
Lin Baoqing naturally did not plan to study at school at night. It was too early to go home, so she went to the club with Song Yi to take a look. Yesterday, the two of them went to kiss and didn't do much serious things.
Look, on the way to the club, Lin Baoqing solemnly warned Song Yi that he would do serious things this time and that Song Yi would not be allowed to do anything wrong.
Song Yi nodded and said, as for what is considered a serious matter, it is not up to him to open his mouth.
But he decided to enjoy such a beautiful process more. Now Lin Baoqing is like a fresh and crisp green apple, but it is not yet ripe enough to pick it at will. In his opinion, greenness is also a different kind of beauty.
So when he was in the club, he just gave a brief taste and focused more on helping Lin Baoqing.
Lin Baoqing has taken great pains to run the Pinxiang Club and has invested a lot of energy and time on it. She is also full of expectations and will achieve the ideal results after the Pinxiang Club officially starts operation.
In Lin Baoqing's vision, this Pinxiang Club is a platform for everyone to communicate with, and you can find like-minded people here; on the other hand, Lin Baoqing really wants to promote the fragrance culture.
She and Song Yi lived in the same environment since childhood, and their thoughts also have many commonalities, which often resonate with each other.
Because they are surrounded by people in the cultural circle, they often come into contact with collections with a long history or special historical significance, and they have a heartfelt love for traditional culture and all kinds of excellent things.
In the long history, some things gradually disappeared in China, but they scattered in other places. For example, this incense culture has developed into a kind of incense path in Japan, but not many people know it in China. The gap in this makes people feel regretful and makes them feel that they have the responsibility and obligation to regain the glory of the past of the incense culture.
In Song Yi's words, "If you don't ask for a BMW car that is full of fragrance, it's enough to have a faint fragrance that fills your sleeves."
Therefore, this Pinxiang Club is more about displaying the once glorious fragrance culture.
The two of them were collecting, and they had a lot of collections at home, and they did not hesitate to collect all kinds of good things. In this fragrant incense club, there are countless incense incense utensils, and there are almost all kinds of incense utensils from all eras.
Lin Baoqing also said that she was considering writing a book for Xiangdao.
Song Yi strongly supported this and said, "Baoqing's idea is quite good. If he hasn't even published this book, how can he be embarrassed to say that he is in this circle?"
Lin Baoqing laughed, "Now there are few books on the market that specialize in incense culture and incense. If there are any problems, the things recorded in them are also one-sided, and there are misunderstandings about many of the concepts and history. So I thought that if we want to make our Xiangping Club bigger and better, it is very necessary to publish a book about incense culture. You have to help me, and we will be considered a co-authored one at that time."
Song Yi said, "I dare not steal your credit from Baoqing."
Lin Baoqing glanced at him and said with a snorted smile, "It's really the result of our joint efforts. What do you say if you don't grab it? How can you say it if you don't have some effort? Also, don't you think it's so meaningful for us to write a book together?"
Song Yi immediately agreed and praised her, "It's rare that Baoqing has such a thought. So what else can I say? This is really romantic. Why didn't I think about it early?"
Lin Baoqing smiled happily, "We have compiled enough information about the incense culture before. I have read some books, and they look very large, and there are so few things in it. I think, when we write this book, we can't be like them. If we should be streamlined, we must be streamlined, we cannot drag it out, or use the deeds of historical figures. The contents must be detailed and reliable. There are so many physical objects in our hands, and I want to take some photos and put them on them, just treat them as illustrations. What do you think?"
"I think it's okay," Song Yi said with a smile, "Many people like to read pictures when reading books, and I am the same, especially for this type of book. The pictures of real objects are more vivid than words and can explain the problem. The more real objects you can collect, the more you can explain the author's level of knowledge, at least that's what I think."
"That's right, but we have to carefully consider which photos to take before making a decision. Too many good things are also annoying." Lin Baoqing said it without any worries, and his heart was filled with happiness. Who would think there were too many good things?
"Let me tell me what I think. When we introduce the history of incense culture, we can add pictures of incense and other things from each era, so that readers can have a deeper understanding of incense culture in each era. Also, since we write this book to promote the club, we can add club photos. You can also perform a series of steps, precautions, etc. in the production of incense by Baoqing. In this way, it can be regarded as truly popularizing the knowledge of incense culture." Song Yi naturally has his unique view on this.
Lin Baoqing said happily, "This idea is good. In this way, we can promote our Pinxiang Club, and it will not make people feel too deliberate. I personally am very happy to demonstrate, but why do I always feel that it is more convincing to find an old man with a fairy spirit to come."
"No, Baoqing, you can completely calm the scene. You can mix incense with plain hands and add incense with red sleeves. Just think about it, you can tell what a desirable picture this is." Song Yi explained, "And with Baoqing's understanding of incense, I think it is more profound than those old men. Even though they have rich experience, most of them are hobbies and have not systematically summarized it. Moreover, they do not have as many rich resources as we have, and they do not have the best experience. How can they have confidence that they dare to say that they are better than our Baoqing."
Lin Baoqing smiled embarrassedly, "It's also my blessing that we can get so many top-quality spices with your magic tricks."
Song Yi continued to talk, "Without investigation, there is no right to speak, and without a person who has tasted the best spices, how can the things he says be convinced? The fragrance culture is profound and profound, and we are just a beginner, but if the starting point is higher than others, this advantage will be quite obvious and more convincing."
Lin Baoqing nodded in agreement. It was indeed as Song Yi said. If you had never seen one thing, how could you tell the difference between it?
"Actually, I only planned to sort out these materials before and circulate them as internal information of the club. The contribution you made in the Xiangxue Seminar you proposed to hold is quite a big deal."
Song Yi said, "Then we have to write such words in the book, thanking all members of the Donghai University Xiangxue Seminar for their contributions. Also, those documents that have been cited must be marked in detail."
Lin Baoqing nodded with a chuckle. She was the leader of the seminar and the Xiangxue materials were organized and collected by her. Isn’t this equivalent to thanking herself?
"I think we can also add some special content to it. For example, we can provide some spices, as well as identification techniques for different grades and spices, etc. If possible, we can also provide some identification techniques for fragrance tools. What do you think?" Lin Baoqing became more and more excited as he spoke, and sought Song Yi's opinion.
Song Yi nodded, "Yes, just briefly introduce the basics, don't be too careful. Sometimes it's not a good thing to say too much."
"Yes, after all, there are too many people who make fakes now, and their skills are changing with each passing day." Lin Baoqing said with great insight that this is not because they are stingy and unwilling to teach readers some technical things. But because once some things are written out, the people who make fakes can also see them, they will try to align themselves in this regard and make fakes to the extreme, so that there will only be more fools.
There are even worse counterfeiters who claim to be a brick-maker, and publish a book by themselves, and put forward some theories in the book to identify the authenticity and falsehood. If anyone buys his book and goes to Taobao on the market as he says, he will often fall into his trap. All the so-called authentic products are made and put on the market.
Lin Baoqing and Song Yi are both people who have been in this circle for a long time, so they naturally have a good understanding of these things.
For example, if you know many appraisal skills, you will not tell others at all. Take Song Yi as an example. If it were someone other than Lin Baoqing, he would not tell them about his appraisal methods and standards for the collection.
After the two discussed this, the general content of this book about incense culture and incense can be determined, and Lin Baoqing also recorded this.
Let me first briefly introduce what incense culture is and incense, what is the current current situation of incense culture, etc.
Then we start to trace their origins. Due to the differences in history and culture, what are the special features of the incense culture in each period, what kind of spices and incense utensils are used, etc. In different periods, what are the standards for scented fragrances, what are the common spices, what are the habits and hobbies when scented fragrances, what are the specific steps for scented fragrances, etc. What are the interesting historical stories about scented fragrance culture, and the explanations are supplemented by real illustrations, which can enhance the persuasion.
After introducing these, you can turn to the real topic. If you want to learn the incense path and promote the incense culture now, what are the things you can do?
This aspect can be explained from the modern habit of scented fragrance. It is recommended that readers adapt to local conditions and do not necessarily pursue top-quality spices according to their own conditions. The focus of scented fragrance is on taste, and even the fragrance of flowers can be intoxicating.
Of course, if you have higher requirements for quality and want to learn to taste fragrance like the ancients and experience the timeless romance. The book provides a set of methods and steps for taste fragrance, which can be interpreted in detail by Lin Baoqing or others.
There are also some tips for identifying various spices and fragrance tools in the book, which can help readers get started quickly.
Lin Baoqing recorded these frames and pointed out the direction. In the future, he just needed to fill in things inside.
Song Yi also smiled and said, "It is said that reading thousands of books is like writing like a god. I think Baoqing, you have reached this level now."
Lin Baoqing was happy after listening to it, "I have been studying before, and I have practiced it myself. After so much time, I should have some effect. But I don't have to think about it. The things that follow will definitely not be simple in writing this book, and modifications are definitely indispensable. This book has your name on it. You are not allowed to shirk it. We must write it together."
Song Yi said, "Baoqing, you are very literary. If you are the chief writer, I will provide reference opinions. By the way, although my level is not high, I am very picky. Don't cry at that time."
"It won't be that we have to revise it together anyway. If we can't be satisfied, we won't publish it." Lin Baoqing was still excited and writing a book with Song Yi was a major event worth celebrating.
Song Yi smiled and said ok, "Writing a book with Baoqing is a happy thing to think about."
Lin Baoqing was furious when he heard this and said excitedly that he must write this book well and strive to make a big spoil so that more people can understand this fragrant culture with fine traditions.
As for whether the publisher is willing to publish, Song Yi is not worried at all. If you don’t say anything else, you can always pay for it at your own expense. Besides, Song Yi has never published books before, so that’s the case. However, in his previous life, he published books about jade, and the circulation volume is not large, mainly for those who want to enter the industry. However, if people in the circle read it, they may also gain some benefits...
