Chapter Seventy-Six: The Signing Meeting
When a new book is released, the publisher needs to formulate a certain publicity plan, and then start it, and of course, the author also needs to cooperate with the publisher to promote it, after all, this is the author's new book for sale.
Although Bai Yi's popularity is there, some activities are still indispensable, such as the new book signing. This is not only for publicity, but also to meet the urgent hopes of a group of book lovers and fans, and thank them for their support.
Now Bai Yi's "Three Lines of Love Letter" is really a big hit, and the weekly sales have caused an uproar in the publishing industry and fallen through countless eyeballs.
Even Bai Gongzi's original novel "The Devotion of Suspect X" was not so crazy, and the sales volume exceeded 300,000 in just one week, you must know that this is only a week, and this is just a collection of poems, not a story like a novel.
This crazy sales made the literati writers who had previously satirized Bai Yi silent.
No one would know that Bai Yi had asked their seniors before, whether the sales of 300,000 were considered good, and now such a result only made their eyes hurt even more.
In fact, the editors of the Literature and Art Publishing House did not expect that the sales of Bai Yi and Bai Gongzi's poetry collection "Three Lines of Love Letters" would be so popular, which was completely beyond their imagination.
Of course, from the beginning, the Literary Publishing House was very optimistic about Bai Yi's "Three Love Letters", after all, Bai Yi's popularity is very high, and this is also a love letter written by Bai Yi himself, and every poem in it is very wonderful and hits people's hearts.
With such an excellent and wonderful work, how can the sales be bad.
Now, major media websites, as well as newspapers and magazines have set off a trend of "three-line love poems", and many netizens and readers have begun to follow the trend and try to write three-line love letters, and the topic is becoming more and more popular.
At this time, book lovers and friends very much hope that Bai Yi can hold a book signing, and the Literature and Art Publishing House also hopes to use the book signing to further promote this "Three Lines of Love Letter".
The book signing is not only a very effective way to promote the book, but also to bring the book lovers closer to Bai Yi.
You must know that Bai Gongzi's "The Devotion of Suspect X" did not hold a signing meeting before, and Bai Yi really had very few opportunities to appear in public, and the only time he might have seen Bai Yi at the show site of the "SINGER" finals.
Now it is rumored that Bai Yi is going to hold a book signing, which instantly makes countless book fans and fans excited. Because of this opportunity, they can finally meet their idols and see Bai Gongzi himself, who they have liked for a long time and can't help but fall in love.
Of course, there are also many book fans who complain about why they can't go to Yanjing and Star City when the signing is in Yangcheng......
Words like this are all to see their little lover Bai Yi Bai Gongzi.
They didn't know that Bai Yi didn't plan to hold a signing meeting, but it was just an urgent request from book lovers that they would agree to hold a signing meeting in Yangcheng.
……
Sunday morning, Yangcheng, Sino-Vietnamese Mall.
Jiang Xi stood beside Bai Yi, looking at the crowd at the gate outside, his brows furrowed slightly, and he couldn't help but say: "There are too many people here, I heard that there are still book lovers who came by plane overnight." ”
Hearing Jiang Xi's words, Bai Yi couldn't help but smile and said, "Guess, after all, "Three Lines of Love" is very popular, and they have never seen me in person. ”
Song Ming, who was talking to the organizer of the event on the side, walked over and said with a smile: "This is also how good you are, you can actually come up with such a theme as a three-line poem, it's really amazing." ”
Originally, Song Ming was worried about the publication of Bai Yi's poetry collection, but he didn't expect Bai Yi to come up with a way to solve it so quickly, and it was such a perfect way.
At first, he and Su Qing heard Bai Yi say those three sentences, and said that it would be very interesting, and they were very puzzled, but they didn't expect Bai Yi's three sentences to be these three lines of love. I have to say that Bai Yi's whimsy is really fantastic, although the time is very tight, but every love letter from Bai Yi is very exciting, otherwise it would not have led to this trend, which is so hot now.
With the start of the event, the host took the stage to give a speech, and soon Bai Yi came to the stage to speak.
There was a large number of people in the audience, except for the book fans from Yangcheng, many book fans and friends from other places also came, and the entire shopping mall could be said to be completely contracted by Bai Yi's fans, which was really scary.
Because I was worried about the large number of people and any accidents, not only the mall security guards helped maintain order, but also the police came to maintain it. In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the number of people outside the mall had begun to be controlled and not more people would have come in, I am afraid that the entire mall would not be able to contain fans of Xiaobai now.
"Bai Yi, Bai Gongzi Bai Gongzi!"
As soon as Bai Yi came to the stage, the audience caused a great sensation, and countless book fans kept shouting Bai Yi's name and were excited.
Looking at that large group of people, Bai Yi felt a lot of pressure, smiled and said a few words to the fans, and glanced at the clear sky, fortunately, it was not sunny today.
With Bai Yi's appearance, the signing meeting will soon officially begin.
Jiang Xi sat next to Bai Yi, not only serving tea and water to Bai Yi, but more importantly protecting Bai Yi, worried that some fans would be too excited and rush up and make trouble.
"Bai Gongzi, I will always support you, you are really handsome!"
"Bai Gongzi, I really like you so much, the "Three Lines of Love Letter" you wrote is really good!"
"Bai Gongzi, the poems you wrote are really good, how did your mother teach you, you are so smart and sensible at a young age. ”
"Bai Gongzi, I'm really happy to see you, do you know, since your first song "That Life", I have liked the poems you wrote, and I have bought several copies of your "Three Love Letters", and I plan to treasure them. ”
……
Bai Yi smiled and said thank you, and beautifully signed the two names on the cover of the book.
And so on and so forth.
There are a lot of people queuing up to participate in the signing meeting, there are really a lot, not only some little girls, but also many literary men, and some people of the age of aunts and uncles are also waiting in line, which is really a killing of men, women and children.
Of course, some of them are not Bai Yi's book fans and fans, but simply like "Three Lines of Love Letters". Because I really like "Three Lines of Love Letters", I will spend so much effort and queue up for so long to see the author himself.
This was Bai Yi's first time holding a signing meeting, and Bai Yi was quite relaxed at first, but when he kept signing autographs, his hand was about to break, especially looking at the long line, which had not yet come to an end.
Bai Yi wanted to cry without tears, and began to regret very much, why did he agree to hold a signing meeting.
Jiang Xi also began to realize this, the signing meeting has passed for so long, but the number of people in line has not decreased, so it is not possible to go on like this. Even the fans who got autographs at the front of the queue did not leave, and stayed at the scene to take pictures, and more and more fans rushed over later.
After all, the signing was held in the morning, some people came early, some people came late, and now it is clear that more and more people are coming, and the queue is getting longer and longer.
Song Ming also realized this problem, and hurriedly ran up to discuss with Bai Yi, there are so many people on the scene now, even if it is signed in the evening, it is impossible to sign it at all, you must know that there will definitely be fans coming over later.
The planned signing was only between 8 a.m. and 11 a.m.
Backstage, Bai Yi rubbed his right wrist, took the ice water handed over by Jiang Xi and applied it coldly, his brows were furrowed, his face was a little solemn, and he said with some hesitation: "They are all here, they can't let them run for nothing, not to mention that some people still come all the way by plane." ”
Jiang Xi also felt that it was really bad to leave so suddenly now, but he couldn't really let Bai Yi keep signing.
The host of the event said, "Otherwise, try to talk to the book fans, they should be able to understand, after all, there are really too many people." ”
Bai Yi frowned, thought for a while, and said, "I'll talk to them personally." Otherwise, change the form. ”
Saying that, Bai Yi talked with the host for a while, and then the two took the microphone and returned to the signing site.
Seeing Bai Yi come back, other fans were a little commotion, they also knew that the original signing time was from eight o'clock to eleven o'clock, and now it is almost twelve o'clock, and there are still so many people in line, I am afraid that the signing meeting will be canceled.
The host looked at the book lovers in the audience and said: "After waiting in line for so long, everyone is very tired, Bai Yi is also very tired, he feels very painful when he raises his hand now, I think you should all be able to understand." ”
In fact, the time of the signing meeting has ended, and everyone is very clear that Bai Yi is very grateful for everyone's support for him and the support for "Three Lines of Love". ”
Bai Yi took the host's words, looked at the book lovers and friends in the audience, bowed to express his gratitude, and said into the microphone: "Actually, it is very clear that the signing session cannot continue, but I can sit and chat with everyone here." ”
With that, Bai Yi sat down on the chair on the stage.
The host on the side also sat next to Bai Yi and explained with a smile: "This is the new book signing of Bai Gongzi's "Three Lines of Love Letter", you should always ask Bai Gongzi some questions, I think you also want to know whether Bai Gongzi has a favorite person and whether he has a crush." ”
As soon as Bai Yi and the host said this, the book fans at the scene were in a commotion.
In fact, when they heard the host say that Bai Yi's hand couldn't be lifted anymore, in fact, they were very distressed in their hearts, and they had already accepted the cruel reality that the signing meeting was over.
After all, you can't really keep letting Bai Yi sign.
But unexpectedly, after accepting the cruel reality, Bai Yi now actually said that he wanted to sit and chat with them.
With the dialogue between the host and Bai Yi, the scene gradually quieted down, and began to listen to Bai Yi say something about the poetry collection "Three Lines of Love".
The host held a brand-new "Three Lines of Love Letter" and asked with a smile: "Now Bai Yi, your "Three Lines of Love Letters" is very popular on the Internet, and many people call you a national lover, how did you think of writing a collection of poems called "Three Lines of Love"?"
Book lovers are also very curious about this question.
Bai Yi shook his head with a smile and said, "It's because of "Stone Bridge Zen", I thought of it by chance, and then found that in fact, it doesn't take too many words to express love, just three sentences." ”
Everyone present in "Stone Bridge Zen" knows that this poem is also included in "Three Lines of Love Letter".
Now listening to Bai Yi say this, book fans know that the original "Three-line Love Letter" is because of "Stone Bridge Zen", but it sounds like a very accidental thing, but if you want to write so many wonderful and touching three-line poems, where is it so simple.
……
"I can't talk about falling in love, I'm a good student, I won't fall in love. ”
......" is actually not that complicated, about love, I think it is like the paragraph on the cover of the poetry collection, meet the person you want to meet among thousands of people, in the thousands of years, in the endless wilderness of time, there is no one step earlier, no one step later, just caught up. This may be love, of course, this is just my opinion, it may not be mature. ”
……
"Which one of the "Three Love Letters" is your favorite? I don't know, I think it's hard to answer this question. ”
……
"At home, I never talked to my mom about it, because she would think I should take my medicine. ”
……
"Created a genre of poetry? I can't say that, after all, I used to write three-line poems, and at first I was worried that people would not like it. ”
……
"Haha, don't confess to me anymore, I know you like me, but if you do this again, maybe tomorrow the dean will talk to me. ”
……
To everyone's surprise, a book signing turned into a live chat, but the final result was very satisfying, and even the fans who did not get Bai Yi's autograph expressed their happiness. Especially listening to Bai Yi chatting about three-line love letters, the atmosphere was really good, and book fans and friends were amused by some of Bai Yi's words, and it didn't end until very late.
Book fans are looking forward to coming and leaving happily, but Bai Yi is tired, there should be no more signing meetings in the future.
