Chapter 493: Hitting the Rankings for the First Time [Asking for Votes and Subscriptions]

The crowded Los Angeles airport has always been the focus of paparazzi's attention, because most of Hollywood's superstars will appear here, as long as you have patience, you don't have to worry about not taking good photos. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Leonardo's status in Hollywood is very transcendent, he has long been among the highest-paid group of actors, and he has never played a superhero blockbuster, but his influence and box office appeal are exceptionally strong!

Coupled with the lace news he made from time to time, the reporters were waiting for him to break up with the young model next to him, and he actually went out for a trip and didn't change the model?

"Forget it, let's go. ”

Lin Han looked at the noisy picture over there, he didn't want to join in the fun, he didn't want to be said by these paparazzi to rub the heat or stammer others, he couldn't do that.

At the end of October, Los Angeles was still a little hot, and the sun was shining in front of him, after Lin Han put the suitcase in the trunk of the car, he got in the car with Chen Jiaxuan and left.

The huge Hollywood sign and the enthusiastic Avenue of Fame dangled in front of Lin Han, he didn't want to go shopping anymore, he just wanted to have a good rest!

The fatigue caused by the long-distance flight can't make people excited, even those dazzling boutiques are difficult to cheer up Chen Jiaxuan, she even leaned on Lin Han's shoulder to take a nap, and got out of the car in a daze.

……

After a long day's rest, the two young men quickly came back to life full of blood, and they were led by the staff to Los Angeles' Chinatown to prepare for the opening ribbon cutting, and at the same time, Lin Han will also hold a book signing!

The bright sun shines on Chinatown, and some of the surrounding old buildings can't hide the bustling city, and the festive red covers the outside of the Xinhua bookstore, and the posters on it are all about "Hyperion".

After waiting for so long, the English version of "Hyperion" has been released the day before yesterday, and it just so happens that Lin Han can also take this opportunity to promote his book, after all, it is of great significance to rush to the list!

The book "Hyperion" is not only to make sales, but also a novel that Lin Han uses to earn word of mouth, and this English version is still completed by him himself, just to retain the original flavor and let more people realize the literary nature of this work.

Even if it's a good book, it has to be seen by more people, so such a signing should be able to get on the West Coast, not only to attract Chinese readers to come and buy it, but also to get overseas readers to take action!

Penguin publishers' propagandists have even contacted newspapers and online media, just waiting for Lin Han to make an appearance, the last time Lin Han made a public appearance overseas was six months ago, when he and Leonardo received the award and gave a speech at the Davos Forum in Switzerland, and have not been seen since.

If it weren't for the fact that a new book appeared every two months, readers would have thought that the young science fiction master was missing, so this signing will have a huge appeal to Lin Han's readers, and readers near Los Angeles are almost willing to drive over and join in the fun!

At nine o'clock in the morning, the parking lot near Chinatown was already full, not only media reporters came, but even many tourists couldn't help but stop their sightseeing after seeing the sign of Xinhua Bookstore and the poster of Lin Han's signing party, wanting to take a look here.

……

"Mr. Lin, this is Kong Kaen, the cultural consul of our Chinese Consulate in Los Angeles, and he is here to congratulate on behalf of the Consulate General. This is Lu Tianxing, chairman of our hometown association, Mr. Chen is president of the Chinese Business Association in the United States! and Mr. Zhou Chengzhi, chairman of the Sino-US Friendship Association, and they all came here to cut the ribbon today!"

Xinhua Bookstore is different from ordinary enterprises because of its own attributes, and it is normal for an overseas branch to have so many people.

Although Lin Han didn't know what these people were doing, he still shook hands and smiled politely, he was concerned about the readers who gathered outside Xinhua Bookstore!

"I inquired just now, and it is said that after Xinhua Bookstore announced that you were coming here to sign and sell "Hyperion", some people even came to line up overnight!"

Following Chen Jiaxuan's fingers, Lin Han saw a buddy packing up his sleeping bag and tent, which really looked like the scene when a new model of Apple's mobile phone was released.

"How many people do you think will come today?"

Chen Jiaxuan shook her head, she didn't know much about the situation overseas, but the hot scene in front of her was really surprising.

Under normal circumstances, most of the customers of Xinhua Bookstore are actually Chinese in Los Angeles, but among those people outside, yellow-skinned Chinese only account for a minority!

Outside Chinatown, the chattering crowd is a pot, in addition to Chinese and English, different languages such as Korean and Spanish meet here, and you can even faintly smell the aroma of Hong Kong-style morning tea.

Probably because of the relationship between the locals and the customs, except for the lion dance to help, there was no leader to speak, Lin Han took the scissors and started cutting the ribbon in a daze!

This famous red signboard looks very attractive, and even some middle-aged and elderly people who have been immigrating for a long time are still wiping their tears after seeing the familiar signboard, and there are even many people taking a group photo at the door of the store, Lin Han can't pay attention to this feeling, it is better to live in a familiar place.

After the ribbon cutting, Lin Han watched the consumers line up in an orderly manner to walk inside, the 500-square-meter street storefront looked very spacious, all kinds of books were neatly arranged, the most obvious was of course the stack of "Hyperion"!

It was also Lin Han's only signing party, and Xinhua Bookstore did not treat their spokesperson badly, not only placing the rest of Lin Han's books on the spot, but also novel posters and posters of Lin Han's characters, and even pasting Lin Han's complete works of science fiction works in the window facing the street.

Before cutting the ribbon, Lin Han had actually visited this bookstore, which on the surface looked no different from China, with a rich range of books and magazines, including marketing, management, technology, education, novels, food, tourism, etc.

There are also a lot of audio-visual products, such as CDs, VCDs, TV series, movies, classical folk music, and operas. Even Lin Han saw that there were cultural supplies for sale, such as brushes, rice paper, ink, inkstones, piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, watercolor paints, and there was no shortage of handicrafts!

In addition to participating in Lin Han's book signing, many onlookers and tourists from Los Angeles' Chinatown also walked in curiously, focusing on these products with Chinese characteristics.

"Good morning friends in Los Angeles, and it's a pleasure to be here to share with you my new book, Hyperion. Actually, this is not a new book, because my other book is about to be published. ”

Lin Han took the microphone and chatted to the readers below, the seats reserved for readers in Xinhua Bookstore were already full, and the staff of the bookstore could only keep adding chairs to the seams, and even the readers in the back could only stand and listen to Lin Han's speech.

"Hyperion is a book about several different stories, and I hope that one of them will move you. Of course, this is only one of the four parts of the series, and the next three will be slowly rolled out in the future!"

In fact, he doesn't have many words, the wonder of the novel is not his own boasting, but the reader's most genuine feeling after reading it, the reader has already taken "Hyperion" in his hand and began to read it, so impatient!

He didn't want to delay too long, so after the host of the event livened up the atmosphere, he sat down and began to sign his Chinese name attentively.

Whenever there was a signing meeting, Lin Han would lament why his parents didn't choose a name with fewer strokes, which was quite laborious to write!

The readers in the back lowered their heads and slowly moved their bodies to the front, but their heads were staring intently at the novel in their hands, "Hyperion" has only been released in the world for a few days, and most readers have not had time to read it, and now they seize every minute and every second to read, these different stories are enough to attract them.

……

Lin Han is still signing autographs here, the media over there have already released the news on the Internet, and the local media in North America have responded quickly, and the official website of the Los Angeles Times first released the news that "China's largest bookstore appeared in Los Angeles, and the meeting of science fiction writer Lin Han was hot".

After that, the same news was released on CNN's official website, the New York Times followed quickly, and the rest of the media also participated on their official websites and social media.

On the other side of the Pacific Ocean, Lin Han and Xinhua Bookstore's hometown is even more lively, Xinhua News Agency is similar to Xinhua Bookstore from the name, and the relationship between them is naturally very unusual, and they all belong to the official series.

So when Xinhua News Agency was the first to publish graphic news on Weibo: "Xinhua Bookstore Los Angeles Branch opened, and the appearance of spokesperson Lin Han caused a sensation among overseas readers!"

This news was quickly reprinted by the rest of the media, Global Daily: "Lin Han appeared in a North American bookstore, and there were readers queuing up all night!"

"The 10th overseas branch of Xinhua Bookstore opened, and science fiction writer Lin Han appeared as a ribbon-cutting guest!"

"Lin Han endorses Xinhua Bookstore and serves as an overseas promotion ambassador!"

"Crooked nuts also love to watch "Hyperion", Lin Han's novels are all over the world!"

Lin Han, who has just stung all readers on Weibo, appeared in Los Angeles in a low-key manner today, not only to stand on the platform of Xinhua Bookstore, but also to promote his new English version of his book. It is reported that "Hyperion" sold a total of 970,000 copies in the United States in three days after its release, and it is expected to top the New York Times bestseller list this weekend, becoming Linhan's seventh champion book!"
