At five o'clock in the afternoon, Xiaoming drove up and picked up the young couple, Chen He, and Guo Qilin, who had arrived early.

He definitely had to drink in the evening. In addition to him, he also called on two other assistants from the company to help. In a crowded wine shop, you still have to be careful to avoid any accidents, which would turn a good thing into a bad thing.

The meal took place in a large hotel, and Xiang Yang was also one of the participants. When we met in the private room, he also brought his own drinks, six bottles of Maotai, and two pieces of red wine.

After a while, the guests came one after another.

The authors probably made an appointment with each other, staying in the same hotel, and came earlier than Zhang Ruoyun. After all, the latter bought a last-minute air ticket and couldn't make it.

However, most actors are not willing to miss Qin Xiaobao's invitation.

This is more than just a dinner party. If you perform well and are remembered by Director Qin, you might have a chance to cooperate next time.

At early seven o'clock, a large table of people gathered together.

There are slightly fewer female friends. Apart from Wang Bingbing, there is only Li Qin. The atmosphere is still lively and everyone is familiar with each other.

Especially the authors, who usually chat in the group, rarely see each other once a year, so they are naturally very happy when they have the opportunity to talk and drink.

Plus Xiang Yang and Chen He were stirring up the atmosphere nearby, and the laughter never stopped.

"Director Qin," Mao Ni drank white wine and his face turned a little red after two glasses of wine: "Why don't you say a few words to everyone, won't you be the host?"

Qin Xiaobao was not polite: "We are all acquaintances. I will speak directly and keep it short. I called you here today to help. Before I say anything, I will give you a gift."

Xiaoming and Wang Bingbing stood up and distributed the packaged pens and ties to everyone.

"I'm sorry that I even took it with me."

"Hey, pen, Director Qin, can you take a photo and post it on Weibo to show it off?"

"thank you boss."

The writers expressed their thanks one after another with smiles on their faces.

"Director Qin," Chen Dong played with the pen: "We are both short-tongued and short-handed. If you have any questions, just tell me. If you can help, I will definitely help."

"Yes, yes!" The other great gods agreed one after another.

It’s true that great authors are doing well, but what can I say? They make a lot of money a year, but their recognition is limited. Qin Xiaobao is considered a big boss in the Internet literary circle, which is equivalent to helping to gain glory.

In addition, Tie Shou spends a lot of money and sends red envelopes in the group from time to time. He doesn't abandon his brothers just because he is famous. He always chats when he has time, and the relationship is maintained very well.

"My new movie will be released on the first day of the new year. This time I am under a lot of pressure. I need your help to post a single chapter and help promote it." Qin Xiaobao directly explained his purpose.

"Good guy, Director Qin is very generous," Fang Xiang said with a smile, "It's too polite to treat guests to dinner and give gifts when you can just say something in the group."

"Yes, if you say hello, we will definitely help. As for starting such a big battle?" Banana agreed.

"You didn't get off to a good start. If you open a new book in the future, you will have to pay for a meal." Chen Dong joked.

Qin Xiaobao picked up the wine glass: "Asking for help is secondary. The main thing is that I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you, so I made an appointment to have a meal and get together."

Everyone laughed, you pay, whatever you say will happen.

For great authors, sometimes the chapter recommendation comes before the chapter, and sometimes it’s just a sentence.

Usually, they help each other promote each other. This is actually similar to the interaction between celebrities on Weibo, and it is difficult for ordinary small authors to get it.

It's very simple to agree. The main reason is that the quality is average and there is no point in recommending it. If eunuchs or readers don't like it, it will ruin your own character. Secondly, the general author group is too large to support it at all.

If you push it too much, it will become a marketing account and the effect will not be good.

Qin Xiaobao's business can be explained in one sentence. As long as they know it, there is no need to worry. After all, there are still nearly two months to work on, so there is no need to do it so early.

"Director Qin," Banana, who usually chats with him more in the group, said, "Didn't you call me editor?"

"Oh yes, the main reason is that my editor took leave today and happened to be away from the city. I only know one of your editors, so I simply didn't call out to save the money..."

Before I finished speaking, everyone understood.

"Okay, let's get down to business," Chen He sat next to Fang Xiang. He had filmed Fang Xiang's works in the past few years, and the ratings were pretty good: "I have always had a question, do you have to type every day, how can you

What will you do when you can’t think of what to write?”

The authors suddenly laughed.

"What do you mean?" Guo Qilin looked at them: "There is such a tacit understanding, does it bring up the important point?"

“Not wanting to code is the norm every day.”

"As an expert on leave, you have to ask Chen Dong."

"My dream is to be able to write without coding."

"There is a power outage, guests are coming, looking for inspiration, the world is so big, I want to take leave to see it."

"My reason for today and tomorrow is that Director Qin invites me to dinner. I dare not not come, otherwise I am afraid of being banned."

"Hahahaha," Qin Xiaobao laughed: "What does it have to do with me? Don't drag me into the water."

"What a coincidence. I also asked Director Qin to treat us to dinner."

"same."

Qin Xiaobao was shocked.

"You can't do this. I can imagine your book friends coming to scold me below the book review section."

"No," Banana took out his phone and shook it: "It's true that someone left a message, but they were asking you to take care of me and saying thank you for the invitation."

Qin Xiaobao looked at it and saw that it was true.

Those who asked for support, those who asked for help with a toast, those who asked for care, and those who urged for updates. There were all kinds of things. It was very lively.

The masters also like to have fun. At Fang Xiang's suggestion, they took a group photo together to avoid having to drink too much later. Chen Dong opened a report thread, posted the photo, and then signed in one by one.

.

"I am fine!"

"I'm safe."

"Everyone, remember, I was made drunk by Mao Ni."

"Director Qin asked us to drink white drinks, while he drank beer himself, which is not fair."

"..."

There is an advantage to drinking with acquaintances. As the host, it goes without saying that Qin Xiaobao deliberately takes care of everyone. A few artists in particular also know the purpose of calling them here and take the initiative to take on the task of drinking and chatting.

Chen He is undoubtedly the best at what he does. Not only did he quickly become familiar with the great masters around him, but the person sitting opposite him will never forget him either.

The same was true for Guo Qilin. Qin Xiaobao did not expect that his drinking capacity and body shape were completely opposite. He drank liquor like water. He was the first to pass the test and won everyone's favor.

Zhang Ruoyun is a person who is very observant. He will help fill the wine glass when it is empty, and even open red wine without calling the waiter.

As for Wang Bingbing and Li Qin, the beauties can just sit there and laugh.

Qin Xiaobao didn't feel embarrassed. When people asked why you should drink beer, he directly said, I can drink plain beer. As long as you can accept that I won't be there in half an hour, you can come as you like.

As soon as these words came out, the great gods had no choice but to bring down the master early. That would be boring.

Just muddle along!

But Wang Bingbing is very awesome, and I don’t feel awkward drinking with her at all, so I think I have found some comfort in my heart.

“Hey, we’ve actually become a hot search topic.”

After drinking for three rounds, Fang Xiang suddenly shouted with his cell phone.

"What's going on?" someone asked.

"No. 1 on the hot search list, hahaha," he said with a laugh: "Just now, a familiar manager sent me a WeChat message, saying that the news about us having dinner with Director Qin was on the hot search list."

"Let me see."

"It really is."

"Oh, the photo was forwarded."

“I’m lucky today, I actually still have a chance to be on the hot search.”

"That's worth a toast."

"Thank you, Director Qin, for this unexpected gift."

The authors were so happy that they rushed to tell other people and villagers.

It's very simple, this... is money.

For authors, even if they are great authors, if there are no special circumstances in the work they are writing, their monthly income is actually about the same.

If Singularity gives a recommendation, it can attract new readers and the author's remuneration will be relatively higher.

But in the end, they are all limited to readers of Singularity, where the base is.

But it became a hot search, which means that it shows itself to the people of the whole country, and it means that it has a completely different exposure channel.

More or less, some of the works of great masters have been adapted into movies and TV series.

Whenever a work goes online, you will find on the Singularity Reading app that a work that was completed a few years ago suddenly rushes to the top of the sales list. This is an additional benefit brought by the work.

Many viewers didn't actually know about this novel before watching movies and TV shows. They thought the work was wonderful and wanted to see how the original work was written.
