140 News Big Bang (Thank you Moshui Blue Alliance)
London is known as the capital of fog, naturally because of its climate, and it is rare to see the sunshine that follows the morning light as early as today. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The fog cleared.
When the whole city is bathed in a golden glow.
Even the most discerning artist can hardly discredit the charm of the city.
But as the boss of the Bristol company.
Ryan wasn't in the mood to enjoy such an early morning.
More than 30 UK and 20 European media have been notified to attend today's press conference.
In fact.
There aren't so many media outlets in attendance today, and as an unknown publisher, Bristol is far from having that kind of appeal.
If it were a press conference for the Harry Potter series of novels, I am afraid that the number of media that attracted it would be far greater than that.
But Ryan didn't care, because he knew very well that after today, all this would change.
Li Mingyu is a reporter for the publishing daily newspaper in Europe.
As a reporter for a newspaper that is not popular or even a little unpopular, Li Mingyu's work is actually not heavy, and it is not so much a collection of style, but a kind of free travel.
Travel between the major publishing companies in various European countries.
He did not receive an invitation to Bristol's press conference, which he learned because of his peers.
But he had heard about what had happened yesterday in England, so he had slipped into a bookshop on St George's Street early this morning.
It's not as quiet as you might think.
Outside the door of the bookstore, before it opened in the morning, there was already a long queue, which looked a little scary, and it was found that there were hundreds of people.
Almost without hesitation, he immediately realized in his mind that this was likely to be a big news, and immediately took off his camera to film the scene.
Then I walked into the bookstore.
"Please don't crowd, okay?"
"We have enough stock today, please don't crowd~"
"£4.88, it's your change, thank you!"
"This gentleman, your change-"
Li Mingyu was a little stunned to see that several customers actually threw down 5 pounds and left, but listening to the waiter, the book seemed to be only 4.88 pounds.
Could it be that when did the British, who have always been picky, become so generous?
It's hard to believe.
Li Mingyu walked into the bookstore and carefully gathered the entire team, most of them were young people, a very small number of middle-aged people, and some were obviously underage teenagers.
But to his surprise, he also saw an old man with silver hair.
I saw that there were reporters in the license.
The people queuing up to buy books have become a little funny one by one, and there are many people who stretch out their scissor hands to the camera, and Li Mingyu does not refuse, smiling and pressing the shutter constantly.
After all, it's always good to be happy with people, and it's a big deal to delete it in post-processing.
Really.
Seeing that the Chinese reporter didn't seem to care about his behavior, more and more people began to ask for the camera, and even a girl ran over after getting the book.
"Can you take a picture of me, please?"
"Oh, noproblem. ”
"It's a great book and I love it. ”
When the camera focused on her, the British girl suddenly burst out of her mouth.
Li Mingyu subconsciously pressed the shutter of the video to record this scene.
But then.
His eyes fell on the cover of the book in the girl's hand.
"From a work by a Chinese author: "Kung Fu Panda". ”
Stunned.
He looked again.
Only then did I find out that the cover of the book did indeed have the word "China" written on it.
It turned out to be "Kung Fu Panda".
Oh, my God!
It's really "Kung Fu Panda".
The news of the book's imminent release in Europe has been rumored in China for a long time, but it is not known when it will be released.
Some people even think that it is just a hype, including Li Mingyu, who is a journalist himself, so he naturally understands the truth of hype.
Yesterday, he heard that there is a book about bears in the UK that seems to be going to sell well.
The person who told him the news probably didn't figure out that it was a panda and not a bear, so Lee didn't know it was "Kung Fu Panda" at the beginning.
It turned out that the best-selling book that appeared in the UK was "Kung Fu Panda".
This news made Li Mingyu become a little excited, even restless.
He could almost be sure that.
If even I just learned about this news, then no one in China will definitely know, at most someone will release similar information through the Internet, but it is definitely not as real as the scene.
A keen sense of being a journalist.
Lee Ming-woo thought about what he was going to do almost instantly.
Leave the bookstore.
He got in touch with the domestic newspaper as soon as possible.
"It's true, I'm in a bookstore in London, England, and do you know that there are hundreds of people waiting in line outside the bookstore to buy books. ”
"Yes, it's Kung Fu Panda, I read that right. ”
"Okay, I'll send you the news pictures and manuscript right away, you have to be fast, this news is definitely ours. ”
Hang up.
Mr. Lee rushed all the way to Starbucks, opened the laptop he carried with him, and almost frantically packed the press release and selected pictures and sent them to China.
Then I started searching the Internet for news about the European launch of Kung Fu Panda.
Thankfully, so far, there is still no relevant information on the Internet, and there are indeed a few people on the forums who seem to have seen the book "Kung Fu Panda" for sale in bookstores in the UK.
See this comment.
Lee quickly realized that this incident might be going on sooner than he thought, and if he didn't seize the opportunity, he would probably lose it.
Packing up and running all the way from Starbucks to Bristol, the press conference was about to begin.
"Sir, do you have an invitation?"
Outside the door, Li Mingyu was quickly stopped.
He had even heard the sound of the press conference being about to start, and his face suddenly became a little anxious.
"You see, I'm a Chinese journalist, I just sent it in the morning, I forgot to bring the invitation, if this news in China is delayed because of this incident, I don't think your boss will let you go. ”
The security guard's face became a little cloudy.
But seeing that Li Mingyu's face didn't look like a fake, he checked his work card again, and then gritted his teeth and nodded to let him in.
Li Mingyu ran away.
When he arrived at the press conference.
Ryan is just starting to announce the final release results.
"Ladies and gentlemen, there is no doubt that this is a great work that is not inferior to Harry Potter, and China is an ancient and mysterious country.
In this work, you can see what Chinese Kung Fu is, what Tai Chi is, and it is an honour for Bristol to be able to publish this great work.
According to our company's marketing department, Kung Fu Panda by Chinese writer Xiao Bai sold a total of 503,987 copies on the day of its release in the UK. ”
Wow!
As soon as this number came out, the scene was in an uproar.
Noise.
Restless sounds.
There is also the sound of flashing lights and the non-stop flashing white light.
Li Mingyu immediately sent this data to China after just a moment, and his heart couldn't help jumping.
500,000!
It turned out to be 500,000!
It's horrible!
The domestic news is definitely going to explode this time. (To be continued.) )
