(1000 recommended additions in a single day, seeking full subscription and automatic subscription support~)
Looking at the boiling readers here, Lin Han could even hear the screams, whistles, and cheers of the readers outside, he really didn't expect this. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Before signing the sale, he picked up the microphone and said, "I knew that there would be so many people here today, so I would have come here in the morning." I'm sorry to keep you waiting, thank you for your like, I'm glad that "The Matrix" can be so popular! ”
The readers of the multi-purpose hall began to take pictures with their mobile phones, and there were not many opportunities to get close to Lin Han, and the readers outside surrounded the door of the hall, and the order was a little chaotic.
These readers are babbling, "It's okay, it's okay, we understand!"
"Teacher Lin, I love you!"
"Can you stop making movies and concentrate on writing novels?"
"The Matrix is good, I hope to see really good movies!"
"Come on, I will always support you!"
After he bowed, he found his place on the stage and sat down, then put the pens in his hand and began today's signing session.
Wangfujing Xinhua Bookstore provided such a large venue, obviously hoping to make money, so they prepared several carts of physical books of "The Matrix" and opened them for sale!
However, in order to control the time, no more than three books can be used for book signing, which is also for the sake of the readers at the end of the queue.
One after another, barely stopping in between, Lin Han quickly wrote his name on the title page of each book!
Some people not only bought a copy of "The Matrix", but even brought the rest of the books they had just bought for Lin Han to sign, and they wanted to collect this signed edition.
Everyone's preferences are different, some people like "The Three-Body Problem", some people prefer "Jurassic Park", some people are crazy about "Bouquet for Algernon", and some people are keen to interpret "Inception" and "Hyperion".
It just so happens that Lin Han has written a variety of works, so in addition to signing "The Matrix", he also promoted the sales of the rest of his works, which is simply a lot of work!
From half past one o'clock, the official signing began, and one after another readers left with the book satisfied, and their hearts were even more satisfied after seeing the dark crowd outside, and it was worth the wait for several hours.
……
Du Xiwen walked out of the multi-purpose hall with three signed books very preciously, and she could feel the envious eyes of others.
27-year-old Du Xiwen works in a foreign company, and it is difficult for her to find a sense of belonging here as a member of the Beipiao family, and she is not very outgoing, and she reads novels in her spare time.
I used to like to read romance, but later as I grew older, I fell in love with urban emotional books, and after being recommended by a colleague to Lin Han's "Red Rose and White Rose", I fell in love with Lin Han's novel!
She bought the complete works of Lin Han's science fiction works in one go, but many books were bought just to read a rough idea, and she didn't read them carefully.
Du Xiwen was about to put the books back in his handbag when a reporter walked over with a cameraman.
"Can this lady disturb you for two minutes?"
The microphone held by the reporter was printed with the CCTV logo, and Du Xiwen's whole head turned into paste all of a sudden, and he actually had the opportunity to be on CCTV!
She quickly stopped the spread of her thoughts, and smiled a little shyly at the camera, "Yes." ”
This male reporter came to interview after hearing the news clues, and he had just been outside recording the grand scene of the dense queue of readers on Wangfujing Street, and now he finally entered the bookstore.
I wanted to find a random reader to do an in-depth interview, but who knew that a beautiful young lady came to meet her, science fiction novels and science fiction movies have always been considered to have a more male audience, and many girls were dragged to the cinema by their boyfriends to watch science fiction movies!
"I just saw you coming out of the multi-purpose hall, can you show us your autograph?" the reporter asked curiously, anyway, ask more questions, and if you can be on TV at that time, you will have to watch the editing of the director.
Du Xiwen took out his three books and put them on top of "The Matrix", and the other two were "Bouquet for Algernon" and "The Time Traveler's Wife"!
She organized her language a little, and then explained: "I just had a holiday today, so I thought about coming and seeing, but I didn't expect to wait in line for so long." I think Lin Han's novels are very interesting, not only with the magnificent descriptions of opening and closing, but also with the romantic feelings that are delicate to the bones. There are very few authors like him who are more comprehensive, and the subject matter is relatively new, which looks quite comfortable!"
"And which of his books do you like the most?"
"If I want to say my favorite thing, I actually like Red Rose and White Rose the most. ”
Du Xiwen's answer is different, reporter Han Yi In previous interviews, some people replied that "The Matrix", some said "The Three-Body Problem", as well as "I, Robot" or "Resident Evil", or "The Wandering Earth" and "Bring Her Eyes", but no one answered this short story that is biased towards realistic love.
Han Yi couldn't help but ask curiously, "What do you like about that novel?"
"I think that after Mr. Lin wrote about the vast, magnificent and extraordinary universe galaxy, his brushstrokes can use such a small perspective to write complex interpersonal relationships and psychological descriptions, which feels like a microcosm of the life of the petty bourgeoisie in the last century, I think the red rose and the white rose are both like our lives, and the metaphor is very appropriate. ”
This sentence is true, the sentence of mosquito blood, rice sticky, and cinnabar mole written by Lin Han has been widely circulated on the Internet and has become a classic sentence in the memory of many people.
But since it's an interview, we have to get back to the topic, "Then let's talk about The Matrix, do you really like this novel?"
Du Xiwen nodded and responded: "Of course, but I haven't finished reading it on the Internet." Now that I've only seen the middle part, I feel like I'm often doubting the reality of the whole world, and I often can't tell whether I'm in a dream or in reality when I dream, because this novel often thinks. ”
"Then thank Miss Du for taking the time to interview, do you have anything to say to Mr. Lin at the end?"
"I hope Mr. Lin writes more good books, we need really good books!"
……
Lin Han barely rested for the whole afternoon, and by five o'clock, the readers on the street outside had finally moved into the book building.
He flicked his wrist to relieve the sour feeling, he couldn't remember how many books he had signed, only that people kept coming to him!
"How many more are there?"
Lin Han took advantage of the interval between drinking water and turned his head to ask the staff next to him, the original signing meeting was from two o'clock in the afternoon to four o'clock in two hours, but he still hadn't finished writing from half past one to half past five.
After hearing Lin Han's question, the staff of the bookstore trotted outside the multi-purpose hall and took a few serious looks before coming back and said, "There are probably about three hundred people, soon." ”
This is the number of ordinary writers' signings, Lin Han's scale of more than 3,000 people today is too huge, and now after hearing this good news, Lin Han mustered the last strength in his heart and began to sign with full power.
On this day, Wangfujing Xinhua Bookstore, which was fully stocked, did not expect that the physical book of "The Matrix" was almost sold out!
They had 15,000 brand-new books in their warehouse, but they were almost sold out now, and if they hadn't been urgently transferred from the warehouses of the rest of the bookstores, they would have been sold out!
In fact, Lin Han didn't sign so many copies, many readers came in directly to buy books, and originally wanted to sign them, but who knew that the queue was so long, so he didn't have the patience to wait, so he took the book and left.
Because of the huge advertisements outside the book building and the promotion of TV news, the sales of Lin Han's "The Matrix" today account for more than half of the performance of Wangfujing Xinhua Bookstore!
Finally signed up, Lin Han almost threw the pen aside, he rubbed his wrist vigorously and moved his fingers, this hellish torture was finally completed.
But the pain is worth it when you think of the satisfied faces of so many readers!
"You've worked hard today, let's go for a physiotherapy massage first, and then eat, after all, you have to continue making movies tomorrow. ”
Now that Chen Jiaxuan is driving, Lin Han sat on the side and checked his mailbox with his mobile phone, wanting to know what the data situation was today.
The statistics given on the official website of the General Administration of Press and Publication are very gratifying, and the first day of the release of "The Matrix" has not completely passed, and the total sales of physical books have reached 1.82 million copies, including the more than 1.3 million pre-sales.
But the single-day sales are nearly 500,000, this number is also particularly scary, the market response is too hot, no wonder the National People's Congress Publishing House is confident to break the record, they must have gone through a real investigation!
In addition, as the sun rises in Europe, the sales figures of the English version of "The Matrix" have also begun to climb sharply, because there are so many countries involved, so we can only get a glimpse of the figures fed back by Amazon online bookstores and the rest of the bookstores.
The English version of "The Matrix" costs $12.99 on Amazon, which is actually very cheap because the content is very rich, and the word count is about three times that of a regular novel!
Rao is so, it only took 8 hours for its downloads to go from zero to the first page of the new book list, and Lin Han's appeal among overseas readers is not lagging behind at all.
On the contrary, because the number of readers has increased, and the influence has increased, and the number of offline sales in the rest of the bookstores is also very considerable, this time "The Matrix" became popular all over the world, beginning to pave the way for the global release of Lin Han's film!
