Forestry University found two book reviewers, two professors from the College of Liberal Arts, a reporter, a manager in charge of book planning and marketing at Huaxia Bookstore, and two reader representatives, and everyone sat on a set of fan-shaped sofas on the podium to chat about the new book.

One of the professors of the Faculty of Arts is Bai Su, and one of the student representatives is Yan Wenlong, the president of the student union, both of whom are old acquaintances.

Li Xiang hasn't seen Yan Wenlong for a long time, he is already a senior and will graduate this summer, so he has been looking for a job outside since the second half of last year, and rarely appears in school, and he is about to step down as the president of the student union, and the student union will hold an election the day after tomorrow.

This meeting is the first time this year for the two, Li Xiang is grateful for each other's help, has been in touch, and the friendship is very good.

When Zhou Heduo and others visited Li Chao in the hospital, Yan Wenlong was present, and later he summoned more than 100 students to record a cheering short film for Li Xiang to "Today's Star".

"I Am a Cat" was put on sale in mid-February, and three months have passed since today, and the sales volume exceeded 1 million copies at the end of April, as predicted by Huaxia Bookstore, and now, in early May, the sales volume has reached 1.16 million copies.

The sales of this book in the first two months were 860,000 copies, with an average of 430,000 copies per month, although Huaxia Bookstore is very confident, but still believes that sales will decline after May, and it may decline significantly, after all, the market law is there, but after entering May, the daily sales of "I Am a Cat" are still strong, after breaking through 1 million copies, it has successfully exceeded 1.1 million copies, and will soon exceed 1.2 million copies.

As a serious literature, this sales result can already rank in history, and it has only been on the shelves for 3 months, according to the current situation, the sales of "I Am a Cat" are unpredictable, because when it survives May, by June, the results may usher in a strong rebound.

Because at that time, Li Xiang's new album will be released, and it will definitely be able to boost the sales of "I Am a Cat" by the way.

Looking at his books and listening to his songs, that's the standard.

And when it enters July, Li Xiang participates in "Longing for Life", and the exposure will be further improved, and the program team has discussed with the studio that a variety of collector's editions of "I Am a Cat" will be placed in the newly built mushroom house as a decoration for the house to add a bookish atmosphere.

Huaxia Bookstore has previously planned new books by artists, and the results are not bad, but they are definitely not good. These people are well-known, but the quality of the book is worrisome, the publicity is no longer fantastic, the substance is not good, it is a hard injury, and the sales are very good for a while, but after a long time, after the word of mouth spreads, the sales often fall off a cliff.

Previously, Huaxia Bookstore had more or less such concerns about "I Am a Cat", they thought that "I Am a Cat" was of good quality, but the limitations of the book were obvious, it was a traditional serious literature! and the book was very short.

Considering the structure and age of Li Xiang's fan base, and then considering the target audience of the book "I Am a Cat", the two overlap partially, but more importantly, they are unrelated. People who can watch "I Am a Cat" generally have a certain amount of experience and will not be young, but Li wants to tell everyone with facts that as long as the quality of the book is excellent, coupled with its own reputation effect, it will definitely usher in a big explosion of sales.

Artists have a great advantage in publishing books, they bring their own traffic, they have fans to lay the foundation, the book has not yet begun to sell, and the sales volume has been booked hundreds of thousands of copies, which is incomparable to pure writers, so in recent years, the title of "idol writer" has appeared, and the industry hopes to cultivate writers like artists in the entertainment industry, and has indeed achieved some results, but such "idol writers" are only a few, and the reputation of these people is mixed in the industry.

Li Xiang is a very special case in the literary circle and entertainment industry, there is no precedent before, so no one knows what path he will eventually take.

The reader exchange meeting of "I Am a Cat" lasted for a whole morning, and there were two main parts, first the guests talked about their views on "I Am a Cat" and communicated with Li Xiang, and finally there was a live question session, in which Li wanted to answer these questions.

When the first session was over, everyone began to ask questions, and the atmosphere in the report hall was very warm. Because the aisle was full of people, when someone was asked a question at the scene, the staff could not pass the microphone over, but could only hand it to the audience in the front row and let everyone pass it.

......

"I remember that my brother had a nickname called Asia's deadliest brother when he participated in "Today's Star", and at that time you said that the reason for this name was because you had one of Asia's deadliest cats, so I wanted to ask my brother, is the nameless cat in "I Am a Cat" the deadliest cat in Asia?" asked a boy in a plaid shirt.

As soon as his voice fell, the scene burst into laughter.

The cat in "I Am a Cat" has no name, but this cat is exceptionally smart and has great wisdom, and calls himself "Cat Bodhisattva". This guy eats and drinks all day long and has nothing to do, squinting his eyes to observe the trivial things in the master's house...... But that's it, it sees through the big truths and small tricks that don't exist in the world, and often scolds people viciously.

But scolding and scolding, the nameless cat's evaluation of humans is really tricky and objective. For example, it uses words to attack human beings and the way they sleep is super ugly.

“...... The owner's wife, who had pushed the nursing child more than a foot away, was snoring with her mouth open, and her head fell off the pillow. In my opinion, when it comes to the ugliest thing about people, there is nothing more unpleasant than sleeping with your mouth open. We've never been so embarrassed in our cats' lives......"

While sneering at all kinds of stupid things done by humans, this "big cat bodhisattva" also does all kinds of stupid things leisurely to relieve his boredom.

Li Xiang smiled at everyone: "There are some prototypes in them, there are similarities and differences, similarities such as this cat eats all day long and has nothing to do, it is fat, and it can't catch mice, and this situation is even more serious in my family, because my cat is the favorite of my sisters, it is their little baby, not to mention beating it, even if it is a slightly dissatisfied look, a word of reprimand can not be said, they will be particularly distressed." ”

Immediately, there was a buzzing sound at the scene, and they were all talking to each other.

Li Xiang continued: "The difference is that my cat is definitely not as smart as the cat Bodhisattva, and it is not as active as it......"

How active is the nameless cat in "I Am a Cat", it loves to mess around, and finally lost his life.

This cat Bodhisattva stole a beer and fell into the water tank and drowned in the kitchen after drinking wine, which was not heroic at all, and it was a very funny tragic death.

But even with this comical death, the nameless cat, with great wisdom, felt calm before dying, thinking, "...... I'm going to die. To die, this tranquility is obtained, and it is impossible to attain this tranquility without dying. There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south, and there is no Amitabha Buddha in the south. Thanks, thanks, thanks......"

This mental activity is similar to that of Li Xiang before he died in a dream.
