“3、2、1、0！”

The sound of a uniform countdown echoed at the door of Jiangcheng Hanlinxuan Bookstore.

It's not about welcoming the New Year.

Instead, hundreds of loyal fans are waiting for the release of Zhang Chu's new book "The Lord of the Rings"!

At midnight, the lights of the Hanlinxuan bookstore were bright, and the black curtain covered the books as high as a hill, and everyone knew what was placed underneath.

This is the first time that Hanlinxuan has held such an event, and Zhang Bowen has almost used all his resources to attract fans to come and buy books in the middle of the night.

There are fifty books signed by Zhang Chu hidden in this mountain of new books, and even the clerk can't tell which one it is, it depends purely on luck!

Die-hard fans know that Zhang Chu's family runs a bookstore, and in the case of this author who is too lazy to hold a signing meeting, it is the easiest way to get an autograph book on Hanlinxuan's side.

As for the Weibo retweet lottery, it is too mysterious, not everyone is the chosen one, and they can stand out from hundreds of thousands of people and become a koi.

The staff of Hanlinxuan Bookstore were busy almost from morning to night, and the staff of the other branches also rushed over to help maintain order.

When the countdown ended, the three staff members worked together to bring the black curtain down, and the whole crowd suddenly let out shouts and screams of surprise!

The shocking book was arranged into a giant "1", except that one book fell from it without being fixed properly, and was immediately picked up by the clerk and put aside.

"I'm rubbing, how many copies are there!"

"Hahaha, the scene looks quite shocking. ”

"It's not in vain that I waited until the middle of the night, my favorite movie didn't go to midnight, and today I actually lined up for a book. ”

"That guy in front, let me take a picture of my phone!"

"It's kind of interesting. ”

"Sell the book, I can't wait to read it!"

"Mom, I thought there weren't many people. I just opened a package night at an Internet café, thinking about buying a book in the early morning and going back to play, but it turned out to be a long queue. ”

"Do you all like Zhang Chu's books?"

More than 300 readers and 20 media reporters at the scene let out exclamations, and some even used aircraft to broadcast the video, which made the scene extremely grand!

Nanhai Publishing Company, Hanlin Culture Media, and Zhang Chu themselves did not hold a new book launch conference, but they didn't expect that the Hanlin Xuan Bookstore in their hometown Jiangcheng would help them hold a huge sales meeting at midnight!

When they saw the familiar cover, these fans screamed with excitement, as if it was the New Year.

At the front of the line was Wang Hui, a college student from Jiangdong University, who smiled and excitedly accepted an interview with a reporter from Jiangcheng Daily, saying: "I really want to be the first to buy a book, so I came here." Although there will be classes tomorrow and Monday, I plan to find a place to read the book before going back to school. ”

Regarding Zhang Chu's new work, a suspenseful title and completely undisclosed content aroused the curiosity of readers and at the same time contributed to everyone's keen interest.

Nanhai Publishing Company went through three printings before it was released, and now more than 2 million copies have been printed!

As readers' enthusiasm grows, so do publishers' expectations.

Another reader who had just paid by scanning the QR code on WeChat was also very excited in an interview with reporters: "I want to buy the book before I go to work, so I drove over and planned to read it during my lunch break, but I may not be able to work with peace of mind." Remember to give me a code, I don't want the boss to see it. ”

There was a long queue of readers, and although no one was here to sign the book, the first thing they did when they got the book was to turn the page.

A few cashiers methodically recorded the barcode scan on the computer, and then handed the book to these readers who had been thinking about it for a long time.

"Ahahahaha, I got the autograph!"

The man, who looked to be in his thirties, was so excited that he picked up the book and kissed the cover twice, and the whole thing was about to jump!

Jumping and jumping, he hugged the book tightly, for fear that someone would snatch it away, and even when he took it to the cashier to scan the barcode, he didn't take his eyes off it, for fear that someone would drop it.

After paying in cash, Han Chun excitedly showed the signature on his book under the lens of the camera, and then carefully held it in his hand.

The other fans around were stunned, and the feelings of envy and jealousy filled their minds!

"Whew, I'm going to sign the book too!"

"Why not me, I didn't buy three copies!"

"That guy is so lucky, you can meet it. ”

"Dude, go buy a lottery ticket, maybe you'll win." ”

"Awesome coaxing. ”

"This is a true fan. ”

"Wouldn't it? Damn, there's a signed book!"

"5,000 yuan to buy your book, buddy, can you sell it? Don't go, leave a contact information!"

The appearance of the autograph book made the atmosphere even more enthusiastic, and they were all looking forward to becoming the next lucky winner.

There are dozens of signed books, and the probability of winning must be very high!

Xu Changrong still didn't know the bottom after reciting the Bodhisattva's blessing in his heart for a while, and then quickly opened Weibo and earned several koi, white deer, two-color rainbow and four-leaf clover, Yang Chaoyue before letting go.

He turned his head to his friend Zheng Lei and said: "This is crazy, knowing that Zhang Chuda's new book is very popular, I didn't expect that there would be so many people in the middle of the night!"

Zheng Lei was also turning koi at this time, and after hearing Xu Changrong's words, he said proudly: "Of course, this is the bookstore of Zhang Chuda's family. If Yanda's Hanlin Xuan is willing to engage in sales activities in the middle of the night, I think it can wake up the whole school, yes!"

The two of them walked slowly along the iron railing, and when they turned around, they found that the back was full of people.

Obviously, there are already a lot of people who have bought it, but there are still people coming here.

Xu Changrong looked at the pictures taken on his mobile phone, and then said: "It's rare to be crazy like this, even if it is written down in a small book by the aunt of the dormitory manager, it is worth it." ”

"I'm going to read all night tonight, and no one can stop me!"

"You see Li Meng's reply in the WeChat group, now I know that I regret calling my father, when we called him to come together, he pushed back and forth, saying that he would have classes tomorrow, and there would be no car at night, so he would be demerited. Now let's take the new book back, and don't call Daddy ten times in the group, and ignore him. ”

Zheng Lei looked at the reporters in front of him with a slightly frightened expression, the school lights out at 11 o'clock in the evening, if this news was released and the family saw that he was still out to buy books in the middle of the night, it is estimated that his parents would be so angry that they would call and scold him to death.

He turned his head to look at his friend, no wonder this thing had already put on a mask!

I thought it was a cold, but I didn't expect it to be so treacherous!

In the dead of night, this street is in full swing, making many passing drivers secretly wonder, could it be that Apple has a new model?

Aside from fruit powder, who else will queue up in the middle of the night?

Taxis also stopped on the side of the road one after another, waiting to solicit customers, and the drivers leaned outside the doors to light cigarettes and brag.

"It's kind of crazy, why don't you buy a book!"

"Lao Xu, don't underestimate Zhang Chu, who of us hasn't heard his ghost blow the lamp when he was on the night shift!"

"It's a good story, but it's a little scary and a little short. ”

"Tsk, these young people are really rich to burn, if my son comes here in the middle of the night to line up to buy books, see if I don't kill him!"

At this point, a taxi driver suddenly threw the cigarette on the ground and stomped it out with the sole of his shoe while striding forward.

"Lao Xia, why are you going?"

"Catch my son, that kid is actually with a girl, this TM is in his third year of high school, and he is not good at school!"
