Chapter 273 I'm Very Sorry
The publishing house agreed to Jiang Mubai's condition and priced each book at a dozen yuan, and Jiang Mubai had to pay the rest of the cost.
They also took advantage of the fact that Jiang Mubai's drama was currently on the air and fans had clarified the story for Jiang Mubai, and their publishing house decided to release the news that Jiang Mubai was publishing a book, as a warm-up for the new book.
Fans were extremely excited after hearing the news, and haters never expected things to develop to this point. Some of them immediately said that they would never blacken her again because they had always been slapped in the face by her and she was too powerful.
But there are still many people who want to blacken her to the end. They simply can't stand Jiang Mubai so they want to blacken her no matter what she does.
Seeing that she was going to publish a book this time, I couldn’t help but post a message on Weibo.
"When a celebrity is so rich, she still wants to publish a book to make money from fans. She really thinks fans are leeks! I don't know what she is thinking. How dare she do this just because she has so many fans and people pay for her? Her fans are not normal people either."
This time, fans came out in droves and flooded this person’s Weibo.
"I think you are even more abnormal. Do you have the right to speak? I didn't ask you to buy it, so why do you care about us?"
"You are such a big face. Do your family members know that you behave like a nobody on the Internet? If they knew, you wouldn't be able to act like this anymore, right?"
"Mind yourself and don't be a bitch. We didn't provoke you. If you don't like it, you don't have to look at it. We didn't ask you to look at it, let alone buy it."
"You want to get our attention so much? Don't you have any friends in your life? Otherwise, why do you want to be noticed so much?"
"This guy should be exposed, and all the stuff he posted online should be shown to his friends and family, so that they know what it is."
Jiang Mubai has been invisible since she promoted the TV series on Weibo, so no one knows about these things. Fans speculate that she is busy with the book.
She was indeed dealing with these issues. She was curious about how the paper of the book, the size of the words, and the cover of the book were all made.
The contact person at the publishing house saw that she was very interested and finally invited her to visit their publishing house.
"These are the entire process of producing a book. There are many steps in total. I will take you to understand them all. These machines are running now. They can produce more than 10,000 books a day. When Teacher Jiang's things are ready, they will also be produced here."
"It's really spectacular. If I hadn't seen it in person, I really wouldn't have understood it."
"Teacher Jiang gives me a different feeling. Many of our authors are not interested in these things like you and would not come to see them in person. They just hand over the manuscripts to us and then don't care about them. So Teacher Jiang is a very responsible person."
"We also heard about the fact that Mr. Jiang lowered the price of his books. You are a very loving and kind person."
Jiang Mubai's face immediately turned red due to the compliment, "I am a person who is very curious about everything, so I like to try a lot of new things."
Everything about the new book was almost ready except for the cover. The staff showed Jiang Mubai the design drawings, but she didn't see any that satisfied her.
Because of this incident, the publication time of the new book was delayed. Jiang Mubai felt very embarrassed, so she sent Manman to buy a lot of milk tea and desserts and send them to the publishing house to express her apology.
Jiang Mubai had no choice but to post on Weibo to ask fans for help in designing a cover. After all, her fan base is huge and includes all kinds of talented people, so she decided to give it a try.
Of course, she would not let her fans post all the pictures on her Weibo, as there would be too many to read, so she designed a program herself to let everyone send all the designs to this email address, and then the program would automatically help her filter them, so that she would not have to waste so much time on it.
Someone submitted their work on Weibo an hour after it was posted. While waiting, Jiang Mubai wanted to learn painting and design the cover herself. It was only when Wu You reminded her that there was a new file in her mailbox that she went to check it.
"This is beautiful. It took such a short time, so it must have been drawn by someone before and then submitted directly. What do you think, Sister Mu Bai?"
"It's pretty good and I like it, but it doesn't seem to fit our story very well. It's a little too fresh."
Jiang Mubai saw this picture before it had time to be screened by the system. When she manually put it into the system, it did not meet her requirements and was screened out.
Jiang Mubai was so bored that she couldn't wait for the system screening and wanted to be the first to see the cover drawn by her fans. After looking at more than ten pictures, she was not satisfied with any of them and finally gave up looking at them. She had to wait until the screening was completed before looking at them. The publishing house was also trying its best to find an artist to help design the cover.
Hundreds of works were sent to the mailbox within three days. Jiang Mubai was afraid that no one was satisfied, so he extended the time by two more days.
Five days later, thirty works were selected. Jiang Mubai planned to choose one as the cover of the new book even if he didn't find any that he was satisfied with, because the book could not be delayed any longer.
She posted a Weibo post telling fans that they no longer needed to submit design drawings as the deadline had already passed.
Jiang Mubai likes all thirty pictures very much. Five of them are in line with Jiang Mubai's aesthetic taste and fit the content of the book very well, so he can't make a decision.
"How about I use all five pictures as the cover of the book? I think this is quite interesting."
"I think so too, but this will cost a lot more and it may take longer than before."
"It's okay. I can afford all of this. This is my first book and I want to write it according to my own ideas."
The publishing house knew Jiang Mubai's idea and agreed with her decision. After all, they didn't lose any money, and Jiang Mubai would give them every penny.
"Teacher Jiang, of course we fully support your idea. Leave the rest to us. Teacher Jiang, just wait for our good news at home."
Jiang Mubai did not say anything about the designs that the fans took the time to draw. She gave 1,000 yuan to the authors of 25 of the 30 shortlisted paintings, and also prepared a bonus of 5,000 yuan for each of the five pictures that were used as the cover.
These authors posted this matter on Jiang Mubai's Weibo to thank her. Other fans were so jealous that they regretted not studying a major related to painting. Some more optimistic ones left a message asking if it was too late to study now?
Everything is finally settled, and Jiang Mubai's new book will soon be released to the public.
The publishing house wanted to give her a big publicity, and they planned to use her title as a movie queen to attract the public, but Jiang Mubai rejected it.
"I wrote these books to give back to my fans. There is no need for them to promote me like this."
Manman also agreed, "This makes it seem like we are really making money from books."
When the publishing house heard about this, they expressed their deepest apologies.
