25. Yan Songbai’s first impression (Thanks to Rotsen for the 100-point reward)
Gu Cheng left the house early in the morning and rushed straight to the publishing house. After this period of copybook sales promotion, the results were very good. 530,000 copies have been sold successfully, although there is no sales momentum like other books.
The rise is rapid, but the copybook itself is a slow and steady process.
Almost every school season is the peak sales season for copybooks. There is a steady stream of students, which means there is also a steady stream of consumers of copybooks. Therefore, Gu Cheng is very satisfied with the sales results. Most of the copybooks on the market are selling well.
For more than ten or twenty years, this has been a gold mine that can continuously bring in income.
Although Gu Cheng's copybooks have only sold more than 500,000 copies, they are already very good for all groups who like to practice calligraphy. They have entered the eyes of almost all pen lovers, teachers and many people in literary and artistic circles.
I also highly admire the several prose articles in the copybook. I haven’t seen such orthodox Chinese prose for a long time. It seems that since going through this period of time and space, the literary world has been in a slump, and there are no articles that make everyone shine.
Appear.
It is said that literati look down upon others. It is not easy to be praised by so many professionals.
Yan Songbai, a professor at Huaguo University, is a big-shot figure in the literary world. He has many literary and artistic workers under his tutelage, and almost all well-known literary and art newspapers and periodicals are his disciples.
Speaking of his other position, the vice president of the National Writers Association, that is amazing. He can almost be praised as a top figure in the Chinese literary world, and his works have won awards in various overseas literary awards all year round. Everyone has praised him.
Consider him a contemporary literary giant.
Now in his seventies, he has gradually reduced his work arrangements. For Huaguo University, this professor is more of an honorary one and cannot hold many lectures throughout the year. After all, he is old and in poor health.
not allowed,
Now he spends more time getting along with his grandson every day. When he was young, he didn't give his son a lot of fatherly love. He didn't grow crooked as he grew up, which was already a surprise.
They are all relatives from another generation, and this kind of thing is vividly reflected in him. However, even if he dotes on his grandson, he has been a teacher all his life and understands the key points of education. Under his guidance, his grandson is nothing like the second generation.
In fact, he is very smart. In the eyes of teachers and classmates, he is also a good student who is polite and studies seriously.
This makes people admire each other's parenting methods.
That day he was lying on a wicker chair basking in the sun. This was his biggest hobby after retirement. He was lying in the yard, enjoying the sunlight shining on himself and the cicadas chirping in his ears. He closed his eyes and felt like
It was like returning to the countryside of my childhood, and it was very comfortable.
"Grandpa, I'm back from school."
Hearing the familiar voice, he opened his eyes, put down the cattail leaf fan in his hand, and quickly took his grandson's schoolbag, with a smile on his face that was basically invisible to his students.
"My dear grandson, how were you at school today? Did you study hard? What did the teacher teach you?"
This is a conversation that happens every day in this family. Yan Songbai believes that this is the most important way of communication between himself and his grandson every day, and recalling today's teaching content through his grandson's words can help him understand what he has learned today.
, deepened the impression, and added my own understanding by the way, which is very helpful for learning the homework.
"I studied two texts today. They were about the heroes who braved hardships and sacrificed themselves for the country during the Anti-Japanese War. Also, the teacher recommended that we buy a copybook and practice our handwriting. It is said that the handwriting is a person.
The most unique feature is that if you write well, it will be of great help in your future life."
Listening to his grandson's serious retelling, Yan Songbai looked very pleased. His grandson is so sensible and serious. I believe he will definitely become a talent in the future. This has also achieved the purpose of his teaching.
"That's great. By the way, have you bought the copybook? I'll give you some money. The teacher is right. Fonts are still very important. Practice your calligraphy well."
With that said, Yan Songbai took out his wallet from his casual pants, took out a banknote and handed it to his grandson.
"Grandpa, no need. I've already bought it, this one. The patterns on it are very beautiful, and the teacher also recommended us to buy this. I still have a lot of pocket money."
As he said that, his grandson took out a copybook from his schoolbag. The patterns on it were very clear, but Yan Songbai's expression on the side was not so good-looking.
Although he has been in a high position all year round, he is not an old scholar who does not understand the world. He is still somewhat familiar with the twists and turns in these schools. There are many teaching aids, which are sold by the publishers according to the number of copies sold.
, to get the commission, and whether these teaching aids are helpful to the students, this can only be said to be a matter of opinion.
He thought about the last time he saw his grandson's teacher. Teacher Sun didn't seem like the kind of person who would do this kind of thing. Could it be that his ability to read people has declined as he got older?
Thinking of this, he took the copybook from his grandson's book. Before he saw the content, the gaudy cover alone made him a little unhappy.
"What is it? It's so fancy. The teaching materials should be more rigorous. It looks like a romance novel. The learning atmosphere in China is getting worse and worse. I will write an article and publish it in the class magazine later to reprimand you."
Check out this trend.
Although he thought so in his heart, his face remained calm and he continued to look down with a smile.
"Gu Ti? Isn't it a bit too arrogant for a fledgling boy to dare to promote it like this?"
Looking at the introduction on the copybook, Yan Songbai curled his lips with some disdain. As for the new mystery writers, he didn't understand them at all. After all, he was not a fan of mystery novels.
With a critical mood, I opened the copybook, and the first thing that caught my eye was the shape of the font.
"Hey, the strokes are relatively thin and hard, the brush strokes are agile and fast, the handwriting is thin and strong, even thin without losing its flesh, the strokes are graceful and graceful, and the traces of the strokes are clear, hiss~"
I couldn't help but speak, and then took out the reading glasses I carried with me from the pocket of my coat, and carefully observed every word.
"A mix of different calligraphers, taking advantage of their strengths, the person who wrote this kind of calligraphy must be a master of calligraphy. He not only has the characteristics of Huang Tingjian, but also has the shadow of Chu Suiliang of the Tang Dynasty. It's incredible, incredible."
