Chapter 1021: Obsession

Signing is actually quite a tedious affair, with one reader after another coming and going, and the whole process is repeated.

Zhang Chu not only had sore hands, but also the muscles in his face were a little stiff with a smile, so he could only helplessly look forward to ending it quickly.

Those who got the book left happily, but many others rushed to hear the news, and it seems that the number of readers waiting for the book signing in the bookstore has not decreased at all!

It's not necessarily a good thing that the book sells too well, maybe it will have to be spent here today.

Jessica from Random House took a cup of coffee and put it in Zhang Chu's hand, and whispered: "It's 5:30 now, and we will send out a notice to let the readers who come back not line up, just sign the people who are currently in line." ”

Zhang Chu took a sip of coffee, then thanked him and said, "Thank you, this has helped me a lot." ”

"This is my job, and I hope you can come to the United States to sign more signings, so maybe my bonus will increase a lot." Jessica said humorously.

The person in charge of the B&N bookstore next to him also came here between the signings, he looked to be in his forties, short and fat, with a high beer belly, like a pregnant woman who was five months pregnant.

"It's unbelievable, our bookstore is selling all the time today, thanks to you. ”

After listening to the words of the person in charge, Brownie, Zhang Chu complained in his heart while signing his name: It seems that he has only signed less than 1,000 copies, and this is already the highest sales record in the bookstore?

Just as he saw off a fan, he turned his head and replied, "Congratulations, it's a pleasure to share this record-breaking honor with you." ”

"Thank you very much for putting the only book signing in North America in our bookstore, which is what excites us the most. You can't imagine how much these readers love your The Da Vinci Code, which was the best-selling work last Christmas, and everyone gave it to each other as gifts. ”

Zhang Chu is inexplicably a little weak-hearted, is he really not afraid of being beaten by giving this gift?

The origin of Christmas is to commemorate the birth of Jesus, there is the Virgin Mary conceived by the Holy Spirit, belonging to the Son of God, and he has made an alternative interpretation of Christianity in the "Da Vinci Code", Jesus is not God, but man.

After reading the whole book, it will naturally make readers doubt the Bible, and American readers are really heart-wrenching to send this book in that kind of family-friendly holiday!

I don't know if Disney has the courage to let the movie "The Da Vinci Code" be released during this year's Christmas schedule, which will really make a big deal, and maybe the global church will have to criticize it unanimously.

Disney is very capable of distribution, so it shouldn't make such a fuss, but Zhang Chu inexplicably began to look forward to it, since it was with Christianity from the beginning, it would be good if the bar was thorough.

But he also knows that the influence brought by one is really insignificant compared to the Bible, the church's centuries of rule, and brainwashing.

There are always regrets, when Zhang Chu signed his name, there are still many readers inside and outside the bookstore who are reluctant to leave, which is like chasing stars.

"Thank you all for your support and have a great evening!"

Zhang Chu waved his hand vigorously before getting into the car, saying goodbye to this group of lovely readers, even though most of them were big men, but they could still be described as cute.

Of course, there will be reporters to track such a huge momentum, and the most important thing in Los Angeles is actors and reporters, and many passers-by and fans use their social media to post relevant information.

[Zhang Chu's signing party is full, and American readers are enthusiastic!]

[The trend is coming, Zhang Chu has become the undoubted king of popularity!]

[Shocked, it turns out that Zhang Chu is so popular in the United States!]

[Incredible book signing, B&N bookstore's official Twitter announced record-breaking sales!]

[Mysterious Oriental Forces, the most watched work of the year - "The Lord of the Rings"]

……

In the car, Zhang Chu was lying on the backrest without any image, and he now felt that he had no strength to unscrew the cap of the mineral water bottle.

When he was a student, he was fine with copying homework for hours, but now he is tired from just mechanical signatures, which is really getting more and more degraded!

"You know what that record-breaking thing was all about? I feel like I've probably signed less than a thousand books. With such a big bookstore, how bad sales can be?"

He once thought about asking Zhang Bowen to open a branch of Hanlinxuan Bookstore overseas, but it was all a fantasy in his spare time, and now it seems that it can only be disappointed.

Blair replied as he drove: "Actually, the part of your signing is only a small part, and the focus is on the people who are attracted by your signing event. You don't really think they're going to come and buy a book, do you?"

"In fact, if they like my work, they must have read it more than once. There is absolutely no need to buy another work that you already own, and the price of this book is not cheap. ”

"A lot of people are asking you to sign one of the Lord of the Rings, but in fact they all bought the trilogy, and if it weren't for the fact that we have a limit today that everyone can only sign one copy, they would have taken all the works that belong to you that can be collected in the bookstore. ”

There is an economic cost to chasing stars, and it is the same for this kind of signing meeting, "The Lord of the Rings" is no longer a new book!

In addition to buying Zhang Chu's works, these readers also spent money to buy the rest of the works while waiting, and they were idle anyway, so it was better to read a book or something.

"I was worried that the next time I came to Los Angeles, the bookstore might be closed. ”

"If you think too much, B&N has been around since 1873, and it's not just the largest brick-and-mortar bookstore chain in North America, it's the second largest online bookstore after Amazon, and it's impossible for this store to go out of business. ”

The history is really long, Zhang Chu yawned and said: "You find a hamburger restaurant or something fast, I want to go back to rest after eating." Today, I completed two tasks in one go, and I haven't had time to get jet lag yet. ”

Even if the young man is in good health, this kind of hard work still makes him sleepy.

"I'm not familiar with Los Angeles, so let's go to Burger King over there. ”

"Are you kidding? I can eat Burger King in China, and I must eat the most authentic American burger here!"

Only food can comfort this grumpy brother, Zhang Chu took out his mobile phone and began to check reviews, Chinese all over the world, there is no store that Dianping can't find.

"There's a hamburger monster over there, it's said to have won a race, we can go over and have a look, you listen to the navigation now. ”

As a British, Blair actually doesn't like burgers very much, I really don't know why Zhang Chu is so obsessed with hamburgers, obviously saying that he wants to go back to the hotel early to rest, but in order to eat the so-called burger monster, he is ready to spend half an hour shuttling through the congested city, this is the obsession of food lovers!
