Chapter 68 New Books Listed (Ask for Recommendation)

June 1, in front of the British Library.

There were people lining up early today, but they were not waiting for someone to enter this world-famous academic library.

On both sides of these queues, the media passed by from time to time, taking pictures of these people.

"It's coming. ”

Chang Long Zhong didn't know who shouted, and everyone's eyes looked at the avenue behind.

I saw a few black Chevrolets approaching from afar, and the black wagons shone in the sunlight, flashing with dark light.

The first to get off was the general manager of Bloomsbury Press, Rosamund. After that, Severn stepped down after his secretary, Tina, opened the car door.

"Severn"

"Severn"

“......”

Seeing Severn get out of the car, those in line shouted Severn's name, they were all Severn fans, or fans or book lovers.

In short, they are gathered here today for the signing of Severn's new book.

After getting out of the car, Severn saw the scene in front of him, and secretly felt bitter in his heart, because there were at least thousands of people in front of him, and he had to wear out his hands to sign today.

Although he was secretly unhappy in his heart, Severn responded to his fans with a smile on the surface, and then Severn walked into the library surrounded by Andre, Rosamund, Tina and others.

As soon as he entered the library, Severn couldn't help but complain to Rosamund, who was next to him:

"There are too many people, how can I be busy today?"

When Rosamund heard this, he smiled apologetically: "It is indeed beyond our expectations that so many book lovers are here today, but don't worry, we have only prepared a thousand books today." ”

"A thousand?"

Severn thought about it in his heart, but fortunately, he was barely able to accept it.

Severn then asked, "When will the new book signings take place?"

"Look at you, all our work has been done. Rosamund replied.

"Let's start now. Severn glanced at the fans who were waiting outside.

“OK。 ”

With that, Rosamund went down and instructed the staff of Bloomsbury, who were here, to get ready to get started.

After seeing Rosamund leave, Tina couldn't help but say to Severn:

"Boss, aren't you too tired?"

Because it was in public, Severn didn't want to be too intimate with Tina, so he smiled: "It's okay, a thousand copies, I can still hold on." ”

After being reborn, his body functions have been strengthened, so his current body is not ordinarily strong, and Severn still exercises from time to time, so there should not be too many problems to cope with today's scene.

"But I still feel distressed. Tina looked at Severn with a pitiful face,

"Okay, I'll stop when I'm tired. ”

Seeing his little secretary care so much about him, Severn couldn't help but feel a trace of guilt in his heart, because Severn hadn't loved Tina well since he was with Ethel.

Every time she goes to the company, Tina always looks at herself with an extremely resentful gaze, and the reason why Severn will bring Tina out today is also because of a kind of compensation psychology.

Hearing Severn say this, Tina couldn't say anything more.

Soon, Rosamund came up again and said to Severn, "Everything is ready. ”

"Let's go, then. ”

The process of a book signing is generally that fans buy a book and wait in line for the writer to sign it.

However, Severn's new book signing today is different, because these books are free, so these books are placed on either side of Severn's seat.

When the fans arrived, there would naturally be a staff member who would give a copy of "Wolf Hall" to the fans, and then the fans would take it and sign the autograph.

These free books can also be regarded as Severn's benefits to fans.

.......

"Severn, can I take a picture with you?"

When Severn finished signing the first fan, the female fan suddenly held the book and said to Severn.

Seeing this, Severn smiled: "Of course you can." ”

Then the fan excitedly handed over her mobile phone to the staff and asked the staff to help take pictures, while she held Severn's arm, her body was half-bent, and the snow peak on her chest made Severn's heart ripple.

Fortunately, Severn's willpower is still strong, he didn't show anything, and he still looks like a spring breeze.

"Thank you, Severn. ”

After taking the photo, the fan excitedly flipped through the photo album on his phone, then kissed Severn on the face, and then turned to leave.

When the fans behind her saw it, they were not happy on the spot, and they glared angrily at the female fan, but the female fan's kung fu had disappeared in the sea of people at this moment, so the fans' eyes could only turn to Severn.

Seeing this, Severn couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"There's definitely going to be trouble. ”

As Severn expected, the fans behind him all asked to take pictures with Severn, and when taking pictures, they kept taking advantage of Severn, fortunately, most of these fans were female fans, so Severn was in pain and happy.

When those media see such a scene, they naturally won't miss it, I don't know how many shots were taken, in short, tomorrow's news points are enough.

In this way, a book signing that should have ended in four or five hours was held all day, and by the end of the day, Severn was already dazed.

And when they said that there was no new book, the fans who were still queuing up almost went viral, but fortunately, Andre and Tina saw that the situation was not good and pulled Severn into the car in time, otherwise Severn would not have been able to get out.

After getting into the car, Severn was lying on the saddle all of a sudden, he felt like he was about to collapse, and his whole face was completely stiff, and it was very difficult to make other expressions.

When Tina saw Severn like this, her eyes couldn't help but be misty, she helped Severn massage with both hands, and complained with a small mouth: "Those people are too much, obviously they all see the boss You are already very tired, and you still have to take pictures with you, it's just not good!"

Severn heard Tina upset himself and wanted to go back to Tina, but Severn's face was so stiff that he didn't want to speak, so he buried his head between Tina's snowy peaks and closed his eyes to rest.

While Severn was resting, Rosamund in another car was answering the phone.

"Sold out?"

"Okay, then reprint it right away!"

Rosamund finished speaking, hung up the phone, and couldn't help but sigh secretly.

"Severn's market appeal right now is insane. ”

500,000 copies!

The first printing of 500,000 novels was sold out in less than a day, and you can imagine how strong Severn's current market appeal is.

However, after sighing, Rosamund's brow furrowed again.

"But we still can't take it lightly, we have to see what happens next?"

Because Severn's "Wolf Hall" is a historical novel, Rosamund did not dare to rejoice too early, although the results on the first day were very good, but the real results were still to come.

Rosamund knew very well that the reason why 500,000 copies were sold out so quickly today was purely due to Severn's reputation, and the subsequent sales were based on the quality of the book.

Rosamund has read "The Wolf Hall", and it is undeniable that it is a good book, but it depends on whether the reader buys it or not, and you must know that many readers nowadays are shy away from seeing that it is a historical novel, especially young readers.

That's why Rosamund was worried about "The Wolf Hall", afraid that readers who didn't buy the book would not buy it after hearing that "The Wolf Hall" was a historical novel.

But Severn wasn't as worried as Rosamund, and he was enjoying Tina's special massage.

I saw that the snow peak on Tina's chest was constantly moving in Severn's head, in order to relieve the pressure on Severn, the driver in front, Andre had already put away the rearview mirror in the car, put on headphones, and drove the car without distraction.

But even so, Severn and Tina didn't dare to go overboard, and Tina just helped Severn "massage".
