Chapter 311: Signing Session
At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Qing came to the location of the autograph session.
This location is the location where the previous Honor Z1 press conference was held, mainly because this location is large and can accommodate tens of thousands of people.
There were already quite a few people at the scene, and it was roughly estimated that there were several thousand.
There is still one hour before the official start time of the autograph session, and more people have not yet come.
According to the official website registration form and telephone registration statistics of Sunlight Press, at least 9,000 people attended this afternoon's autograph session.
To participate in Xu Qing's autograph session today, you need to fill in the registration form from the official website of Sunlight Publishing House in advance, or call the phone number of Sunlight Publishing House to register.
More than 9,000 people participated in Xu Qing's autograph session, which is already very impressive.
Usually there are autograph sessions held by writers of a little fame, and the number of people attending is about a few hundred people.
There are a few hundred people who are slightly more famous, thousands of people whose names reach the national scale, and thousands of people whose names reach a global scale.
If more than 9,000 people did attend Xu Qing's autograph session today, the number of participants would break the world record.
The reason why so many people participated in Xu Qing's autograph session was because there were indeed a lot of Harry Potter fans, and there were a lot of random book fans.
Second, because of Xu Qing's fame, net worth, charm and other factors, many people who are not fans of Harry Potter books also came to participate in the autograph session.
After all, Xu Qing has now become a national idol, and the number and time that Xu Qing appears in front of the public are getting less and less, and it is very difficult for ordinary people to see Xu Qing in person.
Today's autograph session is an opportunity to see Xu Qing with his own eyes, and some people will not let it go.
The autograph session was set up like a concert, with a row of tables on the stage.
After the autograph session begins, Xu Qing will sit behind the table, and the reader will come to the stage from the left side of the stage, come to the table, hand the book to Xu Qing, Xu Qing will sign it, and then the reader will come down to the lawn from the right side of the stage.
Xu Qing came to the backstage of the stage to rest, preparing for the signing of 3,000 books later.
Because of the time relationship and the number of people, Xu Qing plans to sign 3,000 books on the spot, and then give readers 7,000 Harry Potter that have been signed in advance.
These books, which were signed in advance, were all signed by Xu Qing one by one during this time.
And for those readers who did not get an on-site autograph or an early sign, Xu Qing will compensate them with gifts.
This is also something that can't be helped, there are too many people, it is impossible for Xu Qing to sign autographs, and there are many people who will bring a lot of books for Xu Qing to sign.
Xu Qing also made restrictions on this, and each person who signed on the spot could only sign a maximum of 2 books, and each person who signed in advance would receive one book.
Xu Qing did not invite any guests to today's autograph session, he felt that since it was Harry Potter's autograph session, it would be pureer.
At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the autograph session officially began, and Xu Qing walked from the backstage to the stage.
The people in the audience immediately let out a huge cheer, and Xu Qing seemed to be an emperor superstar.
Xu Qing picked up the microphone and thanked the readers for participating in the autograph session, and then Xu Qing sat behind the table, and the people in the audience lined up on the stage in an orderly manner under the guidance of the staff of Sunlight Publishing House.
The first reader to walk in front of Xu Qing was a cute girl, who looked like she should have just entered middle school.
Xu Qing casually asked her age and where she came from, and the cute girl excitedly told Xu Qing that she was 15 years old and came from Los Angeles to participate in the autograph session.
After thinking about it, Xu Qing asked her name again, which was Alice.
Then Xu Qing wrote in the book wishing Alice progress in her studies and good health, and signed Xu Qing's name.
The cute girl was hit by this huge surprise and screamed excitedly.
She knew that Xu Qing would only sign words and not write anything, which was written very clearly on the official website of sunlight publishing house.
Obviously, she was treated preferentially by Xu Qing, and she wanted to ask Xu Qing to take a photo with her, but this was rejected by Xu Qing.
It is enough to write the words of blessing, and it is a bit too much to take a group photo.
The cute girl was a little regretful, but she still waved goodbye to Xu Qing excitedly and left from the right side of the stage.
The people behind the cute girl watched Xu Qing write down the words of blessing the whole time, and he also wanted to, but Xu Qing refused.
Xu Qing told him the reason for the refusal, everyone wrote blessings, Xu Qing would be tired to death, and time would not allow.
The fat man with glasses said that he could understand, he was very lucky to see Xu Qing with his own eyes, and he was very lucky to get Xu Qing's personal signature, and he was very satisfied.
Xu Qing definitely didn't write blessings to her because of that cute girl.
It's because she was the first to sign, which means that she was the first to come to the autograph session.
Entering Xu Qing's signature will need to be verified, and only those who have filled out the registration form and made a phone call will be allowed to enter.
That cute girl must have come to the autograph session very early, otherwise she would not be the first in the autograph session attended by more than 10,000 people.
Xu Qing wrote her words of blessing as a reward for queuing up so early.
The signing will be carried out in an orderly manner, and at 5 o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Qing has signed 3,000 books.
There was no major situation in the whole autograph session, but there were also some small situations, such as some readers must take photos with Xu Qing, some readers said a lot to Xu Qing, and refused to leave and so on.
These small situations also delayed some time, otherwise Xu Qing could have signed 3,000 books faster.
There were about 9,000 people who didn't get Xu Qing's on-site autograph, and the staff of Sunlight Publishing began to send them Harry Potter signed in advance.
Then more than 2,000 people were left who did not get either on-site autographs or pre-signed books.
The staff of Sunlight Press was about to give them a gift worth $200.
Xu Qing stopped the staff's behavior and decided to sign the more than 2,000 people on the spot.
The more than 2,000 people heard Xu Qing's decision and let out louder cheers than the 5,000 people.
Originally, they were a little frustrated, they came to the autograph session just to get Xu Qing's autograph, and they didn't care about the $200 gift at all.
Now Xu Qing wants to sign autographs for them in person, which is really a big joy.
It took more than 1 hour for Xu Qing to sign more than 2,000 people, and they could only sign one copy per person, so the speed was relatively fast.
These people are very happy that Xu Qing can give them an autograph in person, and it is also very good to sign a copy.
The autograph session was successfully held, and all parties were happy.
For the people who participated in the autograph session, they all got Xu Qing's signature,
For Sunlight Press, today's signing session will reduce the number of reminder letters sent to the publisher.
For Xu Qing, it further strengthens the stickiness with readers, and at the same time, it will also reduce the number of reminder letters.
Leaving the autograph session, Xu Qing returned to the villa and saw Sophia sitting on the sofa watching TV, Xu Qing sat next to her, and suddenly wanted to ask her a question that she had wanted to ask a long time ago.
