On August 20th, Bantam Press finally went on sale for a new book that had been advertised for four months. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The major print media published the news a week in advance, detailing all the locations where the books would be sold. As the city where Bantam is headquartered, the first floor of five bookstores in Manhattan alone will be vacated. Interested people counted all the sales points across the country, and they were all shocked to find that the rent and apportionment of the uniforms required for the sale of new books this time were as high as the entire remuneration income of ordinary writers!

Which writer deserves this honor?

Of course, it is the top of the New York Times best-selling list, and any writer who can list his work on it is not an extremely famous figure in the circle. Even if it is only well-known for a while, whether it is the printing and re-request of literary works, or the invitation of speeches and interviews by writers of textbook works, it will definitely make those people enjoy unparalleled glory!

And on top of that, if a person at the top of the list, whose work is still his debut, and who has produced many overseas translations within a few months of publication, certainly deserves this level of honor when his or her second work is on the scene!

All of a sudden, readers all over the country were aroused with high interest, and this interest was also diverse!

There was hardly a writer who wouldn't attend his book signing, and almost no one wouldn't have his face printed on the book, but Alice-Wong did, and I don't know how Bantam agreed. In addition, the movie at the beginning of this year, the director of "Ghost Shadow" has the same name as her, and she has never appeared before, which really can't help but make the general public speculate, just look at the various industry suspicions in those newspapers!

"The cooperation of the UCLA Film Society, the director is a young girl?"

"The mysterious newcomer best-selling author, and the ghost director of the thriller movie are the same person?"

"A fan-like writer, a debut work that blends thriller, science fiction and reality!"

There are so many stories like this that for months, in fact, it has long been impossible to be considered news, because the protagonist of the story has never explained anything in public. Many people remember that as early as March and April, many industry critics and industry competitors questioned the existence of Alice Wang in major newspapers and radio stations, questioning her identity, talent, authenticity of her works, etc., and proudly released provocative speeches, waiting for Alice to appear.

Belch......

And then embarrassingly, no one cared about it at all.

Although there are many people who face this result and proudly declare that it is obviously Alice's heart is weak, so they dare not show their faces, and it is not that no one believes this statement, and then even more in the industry area of major media and newspapers to criticize the new star of the "New York Times" best-selling list......

Of course, as the "boss" of the writer, Bantam officials also came forward, and they said that there was only one reason why Alice did not show up and did not refute these industry people.

This reason was for Alice to have Bantam officially relay to those who criticize.

"The old lady doesn't have the time to play a game with a group of envious, jealous and hateful little ds, and a group of big sbs who feel good about themselves. ”

That's to the effect, anyway, after this sentence came out, the entire industry exploded.

Countless ordinary writers who have been insulted by critics and competitors to the point of having no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the earth have suddenly adopted Alice as a role model in their hearts, although they don't even know what she looks like.

And those who were sprayed with "industry people" jumped out one after another, scolding Alice in all kinds of words, such as how can she be so arrogant, why can she be so arrogant, does it really matter if your little newcomer is so arrogant, believe it or not, our industry jointly banned your gods.

Of course, Bantam Books, which has a reputation as one of the world's top publishers, will certainly not be influenced by a bunch of trolls who are actually DS. After a few months of silence, when all major print media published Alice's new book together, and "Scarlet Fairy Tale" ushered in the new book launch, book fans across the country were shocked again!

Although, it is still a pity that this is only a book launch, not a book signing, and Alice still has no intention of showing up.

Harry Puness, a New York University dropout and a genius geek who wants to emulate Bill Gates and make a career without achieving it, has been waiting for this day for a long time. When he first saw the news of the book sale day in the newspaper, he didn't get a good night's sleep at all, and the secret love affair between a little girl vampire and a little boy who was always bullied was so funny!

It's still the street in Manhattan, it's still the familiar bookstore, it's still the usual time in the morning, and it's rare for Harry to go to bed early last night and get up at dawn today.

But even so, when he walked to the bookstore, he found that there was already a long line in front of the store.

"I bought this book for my son!"

In the team, a middle-aged woman of up to forty years old said to the people around her: "My son is twelve years old this year, and he is not afraid of your jokes, and my son, like the protagonist of this book, is often bullied by his classmates. As a birthday present to him, there's nothing more appropriate than this novel!"

Another man in a peaked cap frowned: "But this novel is not placed in the children's section, and Bantam has made a special statement, saying that if this book is classified by movie, it can be counted as NC-17, and it is not appropriate for your son to read it, right?"

The woman's eyes widened: "How come!?The protagonists of the book are just a pair of children, what terrible things can happen to them?Even if that girl is a vampire, she must be a kind and lovely little girl, how can she still be NC-17!?"

Seeing the man in the cap arguing with the father and daughter, Harry shook his head and smiled bitterly, "This lady, are you thinking too simply?"

Who stipulates that if the protagonist is a child, the plot must be beautiful?

As long as it wasn't for the fact that Romania was making some underground film about the killing of refugee children, even the NC-17 would not be too much.

Bantam is specifically explained, if it is as simple as this lady said, are the editors of this publishing house all fools?

After a while, when the door of the bookstore opened, a long queue of people outside suddenly rushed in. As early as last night, the first floor of the bookstore was rearranged by the staff overnight, and as far as the eye can see, almost all the display cases have the same book!

Of course, not all the showcases, but the seven or eight tables near the entrance have completely become the world of "Scarlet Fairy Tale". The beige book cover, the snow-white back, a teenager and a girl standing back to back, coupled with the pun meaning of the title "let-the-right-one-in", that aesthetic style immediately attracts everyone.

"Oh sir, do you like to watch this kind of love story too? This is your bag, please keep it. ”

"Wow ma'am, you actually bought seven copies in one go!?did you buy it for the kids?your home is so big, but ma'am, bantams have had ...... You don't believe it, okay~"

"Hey young man, are you looking for your first love from the novel? Giggle~ How do you think of me?"

Amy was busy at the cash register, and there were several times more customers than on a normal day, and even for other book launches, sales were probably not as terrible as they are now. But it's also quite a fun job, every customer I meet is a chance encounter of all kinds, Amy swept the blonde hair in her glasses, and her snow-white teeth smiled flawlessly, which was amazing!

"Hi, there. ”

But as soon as she turned her head, the toothy smile of the stage show froze.

What a ...... What a typical geek!

Shoulder-length hair is not impossible, and messy hair can also be used as a postmodernist artist style, but what is white between the strands of hair?

Dandruff, mom, you have to tell me it's dandruff!

Fat people are not scary, scary people who do not like to wash their hair, this is the principle that Amy's mother gave to her virgin boyfriend, Amy remembers it clearly, and always enshrines it as a holy decree.

Coincidentally, the little fat man saw Amy chatting with every customer, and then he smiled and said, "Hey, Amy, are you also a fan of Alice's books?"

Amy blinked, and when she saw the little fat man's expression when she saw the goddess in her dreams, she wanted to cry without tears.

Why does the bookstore have a name tag on the chest of every waiter...... (To be continued.) )
