Chapter 69
Chapter 69 Envy, jealousy and hatred of classmates
For a while, the news that Bella was doing cover promotion for Kevin’s “Wuthering Heights” was also raging at the University of Edinburgh.
When Kevin came to school early this morning, he was looked at by many envious eyes, especially some men, who were both envious and jealous of Kevin. After all, Bella is the goddess in their hearts. They all fantasized about everything with Bella in countless black nights, but it’s a pity that such a big star is too far away from them.
In order to avoid their eyes, Kevin deliberately walked on a tree-lined path. This tree-lined path was planted with violets. It is said that this was the middle of the former president of the University of Edinburgh, James Finley, in order to commemorate his early. The dead wife. So this tree-lined trail was also given another name by a couple at the University of Edinburgh, “The Trail of Love.”
Many couples from the University of Edinburgh would walk this trail hand in hand when they first dated, with the purpose of hoping to love each other deeply. Like James Finley, even death cannot stop the missing of their beloved wife.
Kevin walking on this tree-lined path, he can still see a short poem written by James Finley back then:
Please lighten your footsteps,
Please make your voice smaller and smaller,
On this special day,
I need quiet thoughts—Dear Athena.
Although this poem is not long, the words are not very gorgeous. But the longing for and loyalty to his beloved wife expressed between the words is strong. Kevin couldn’t help but sigh at this deep and meaningful love story.
Kevin was about to leave after reading James Finley’s poems, but Kovani patted Kevin on the shoulder with his dark palm. This dark-skinned guy, since Kevin helped him pay off the loan shark that his father owed. His face regained its former joy.
“Hi! Dear Kevin, you are too envious of me. I heard that your novel asked Bella to help with the cover promotion?” Kovani said in surprise.
“Yes, she counts as my friend. So, I invited her this time.” Kevin said casually.
“Oh my God. You are so enviable, you know how many people want to meet Bella without a chance, even I can’t even look at her up close. But you became friends with her!”
“It’s nothing, she even went to my house for dinner. I knew I would call you next time.”
“What? You said Bella went to your house for dinner? Oh my god, dear Kevin, we have known each other for so long, and for the first time we feel that you are so great! It’s beyond imagination.”
At this time, Kovani could only lament that the distance between him and Kevin was getting farther and farther. Of course, they will always be best friends. It’s just that he didn’t expect Kevin to completely change his life in such a short time. After all, a few months ago, the entire University of Edinburgh knew that Kevin was a hopeless pauper. But now? It is estimated that only those with mental illness will think this statement is correct.
“Yes, Bella visited my house not long ago. Kovani, come on, maybe you can become a better person.” Kevin encouraged.
“Thank you, I think I will. Oh, your current “Wuthering Heights” has aroused the curiosity of many people because of Bella’s cover promotion. As a good friend, maybe you won’t be stingy to give me more Ben.” Kovani demanded.
The reason why Kovani wanted more copies was just to show off with his friends. After all, these books are all sent by the original author, and they are autographed. Think about it is a different thing.
Kevin nodded, his expression is not problematic at all. It’s just that he hasn’t got the sample book yet, so he has to wait until he has it before sending it out.
The number of people who are curious about “Wuthering Heights” on the Internet is still increasing. At this time, the talents of the London Literature Publishing House really understand that the effect of celebrities plus writers is so great.
It is precisely because of the alternative and innovative publicity of the London Literature Press this time that many colleagues have also seen it.
In Dehai Publishing House, President Lavin and Editor Zela also paid attention to this information for the first time. They thought “Wuthering Heights” was another movie chosen by director Hudson who suddenly gave up “Jane Eyre”. But after seeing the news that “Wuthering Heights” is just a new work by Kevin, as professionals, they don’t think so.
Yes, the voice is really high now, and some readers are really curious about “Wuthering Heights”. But many laymen have overlooked one thing, that is, profit.
Clothes, drinks, and medicines ask a celebrity for publicity. Even if the price of the celebrity is high, they may be profitable. After all, these clothes and beverages or medicines can be sold again and again, and even if their reputation is established, the profits made are even higher.
But the novel is different. If the sales of the novel are not good, the cost price will be lost. Or if the other channels of the novel are unavailable, it is estimated that the stars will not be able to make money back.
Therefore, President Lavin and editor Zela think that the London Literature Press is just taking money to be willful this time. If Wuthering Heights does not sell well, UU reading www.uukanshu.com may not be able to publish it. The second printing and the third printing will only be at a loss.
“It hasn’t been long since “Jane Eyre” was published. How could Kevin have written “Wuthering Heights” in such a short period of time? This proves that this novel is not well thought-out, and it is estimated that the wonderfulness is not complimented. Now.” Zella said.
“Perhaps Kevin wants to write faster and make more money while his fame is still there. But doing so will have the opposite effect. After all, even fools know that only thoughtful articles are good. Article. Too impatient, the plot will naturally become empty easily.”
Therefore, President LaVine and Zera also have reason to believe that this “Wuthering Heights” is just that there are more people who are curious now. When they see it, they will definitely regret it. After all, this is a long story completed in a short time. No matter how rich the author’s imagination is, there will definitely be many shortcomings.
A not-so-exciting novel, but also spent a lot of money to invite Bella to do the cover promotion, it is estimated that by then the readers will be sprayed to death. Wanting better sales is simply a fantasy.
Thinking of this, Zella felt that Kevin had ruined himself this time.
“I didn’t expect you, like many newcomers, to be too eager to get things done. Too impetuous, it will never be a good thing.” Zela thought to herself.
Although some other publishing houses think that the London Literary Press’s promotional methods this time are very good and innovative, but when they think of the price of asking stars, they think this trick seems too dangerous. After all, no one dared to guarantee the sales of a novel, or the marketability of a novel is difficult to estimate. (Seeking a reward, seeking a recommendation)
