Chapter 16: Two Extremes

The process arrangement of the signing meeting is also very simple, a few simple sentences at the beginning, and then the main topic, at most there will be a small game during the period, but it is generally not used, because the signing meeting is an occasion, almost all from beginning to end, there will be no other gaps at all. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

At this moment, Yu Bai stood on the signing table, and he naturally didn't have to say it when he was in high spirits, after all, he was the absolute protagonist at this moment.

Since Wang Tansheng was the person in charge of the organizer, he took the microphone and spoke first.

"Here, first of all, I would like to thank you for taking time out of your time to participate in this book signing, and I only express my gratitude to you on behalf of the Changsam Literature and Art Publishing House." He bowed slightly, and then continued, "Yu Bai and I are also familiar at first sight, just as everyone holds this "Triple Gate" in their hands, he has the confusion, distress and deep feeling of the students at this stage. From the time I first saw this book, I was shocked by Yu Bai's talent. And today's love is also a recognition of this book and Yu Bai, of course, I want to announce a good news to you here today......"

Speaking of this, Wang Tansheng sold the guanzi, and when he felt the curiosity of the audience, he continued to say the following words.

"That is, the first printing of 30,000 copies of "Triple Gate" was sold out in one day yesterday!"

The voice fell, and after a few seconds of reaction, there was a loud applause from the audience.

Even Yu Bai next to him had just gotten this exciting news, and he knew that the first printing of 30,000 copies was clear, but it was sold out on the first day, and he didn't know anything about it.

Obviously, Wang Tansheng was quite satisfied with the scene and Yu Bai's reaction, and of course, there were also those reporters who were busy taking notes off the scene.

The first printing of 30,000 copies is nothing in the final analysis, because in today's publishing industry, any newcomer has to print 10,000 or 20,000 copies for the first time, and if it is a popular author, there are also hundreds of thousands of first printings. But if you add it at the end and sell out on the day it is put on the shelves, it will be different.

Because at a normal level, a book can reach about 100,000 a month, even if it is a bestseller, so like Yu Bai, selling 30,000 books on the same day is enough to make many people staggered.

"Okay, let's let Yu Bai tell you a few words."

As he spoke, he handed the microphone to Yu Bai, and the two muttered to each other in the process.

"Brother, you can hide such a big news from me."

"Didn't I tell you, and besides, it can be regarded as re-promoting you and "Triple Gate"." After Wang Tansheng finished speaking, he then looked at the group of reporters in the audience, and then admonished, "By the way, most of the reporters in the audience are arranged by us, but there are also a small number of people who are not good." ”

didn't finish speaking, but Wang Tansheng knew that everything he should have said had already been said, and everything Yu Bai should know was also known.

After all, he is the protagonist of today's signing meeting, and he has to face it himself no matter what.

At this point, Yu Bai just nodded slightly, and walked forward, facing the group of people who were pressed by the black and oppressive on the field, Yu Bai could clearly feel that their eyes were on him.

"Hello everyone, I'm Yu Bai, Ren He Yu, Bai during the day, thank you very much for coming over today, thank you very much."

After speaking, he bent down to thank him, a long time ago, Yu Bai saw this person and that person, and came to the stage to speak thank this and thank that, and he only felt annoyed and annoyed. But it was his turn, and he felt that it was necessary to say so. After all, no one is obligated to buy your book and cheer you up.

A round of applause followed, and Yu Bai smiled.

After glancing around, Yu Bai wanted to focus his eyes on everyone in the audience, but after trying a few times, he found that he couldn't do it at all, except for the crowd of people, there were bursts of applause in his ears.

"Today is the first signing meeting in my life, and I am very happy to be here with you......" Yu Bai wanted to calm himself down, calm down, and then deal with it calmly as he did every time he made a presentation in the company.

But soon, Yu Bai found that the two were far from comparable, the latter was making prepared statements in his own field of expertise, while the former was facing hundreds of strangers and saying unprepared words, in fact, none of these were important. This important scene, this scene makes people a little uncomfortable.

It is surrounded by a variety of shops, and although the open space has been sorted out and a signing table has been set up, more or less people can still be found looking at it from a distance.

There was a moment of trance in his spirit, but soon Yu Bai adjusted, because when he felt this power, he felt that he had an obligation and responsibility to show his best side, not like he is now, stammering and stammering, and his expression was wooden.

Yu Bai immediately smiled, "I think you may want to know what I was thinking when I was in a daze just now, I can't hide it, I'm thinking that you must not say the wrong thing or do the wrong thing at this time, otherwise it will be a shame." ”

When the words fell, the book fans who were listening to everyone in the audience who were extremely serious let out a good-natured laugh.

"As you can see now, I'm not that old, I've just graduated from high school at the age of eighteen. may be the same age as everyone else, so we don't need to make the scene so rigid. As Yu Bai said, everyone on the field now is not a genuine book lover, after all, no one will come over in the morning.

I can't even learn, and those who can't go to the class have to ask for an autograph.

So at this time, there was another commotion off the field.

Seeing them like this, Yu Bai couldn't help but speak, "Before we start signing, there are still a few minutes left, and we can communicate if you have any questions, whether it is a problem in the book or something else, as long as I know it, I will know everything." ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard someone shouting.

"Idol, I want to know how long it took you to complete these two books from conception to completion, because I also want to write one."

As soon as this question was spoken, everyone burst into laughter, and this laughter was nothing more than a little contemptuous.

Yu Bai followed the voice and looked over and found that it was a young man who was a little fat, wearing a pair of glasses, and was honest. is about the same age as Yu Bai, just looking at the schoolbag behind him, Yu Bai knows that this must be a good student who is tutoring in the summer.

"Before answering your question, I wonder if you missed class?"

"Skipping class? No, school is out for the summer. ”

"I'm not talking about classes in schools, I'm talking about classes in cram schools outside."

“……”

For a moment, the little fat man was a little embarrassed, and he had a curious expression before, but now he lowered his head and stood a little restless.

Yu Bai didn't laugh like those people next to him, but continued very seriously, "I'm not criticizing you, and I'm not qualified to do that. Besides, you are willing to skip class and come to my field, what else can I say. But I hope you get back to class as soon as possible, because studying is the number one priority right now. ”

I don't know if it's because of Yu Bai's attitude or this tone, Xiao Fat raised his head, and asked Yu Bai quite seriously, "But aren't you against the current education?" When you were writing new concepts, you mentioned it in the book of the Three Gates, so why did you want me to study it? ”

Yu Bai was a little embarrassed for a while, and in the end, he dug a pit for himself and jumped down.

If it weren't for the fact that the little fat man in front of him really looked like a good student, he would definitely wonder if he had ulterior motives. But as he said, isn't it a contradiction that he has criticized modern education since the beginning of the new concept, and now he is asking people to study hard.

Yu Bai thought for a while before answering, "Opposition doesn't mean you don't accept it, just like you don't want to be restrained by your family now, you don't want to be bound by such and such things, but you still can't break free, right." Life is a net, we can't break free, so we can only use our own methods and ways to toss a little space, so that we can stay more comfortable. ”

This is said to the little fat man, but it seems to be said to everyone, but only Yu Bai himself knows that this is also said to himself.

After the question was finished, Yu Bai was about to answer the little fat man's initial question, but suddenly heard a reporter at the front asking a question that made him even more embarrassing.

"Hello Yu Bai, I'm Yang Shouming, a reporter from the Changsam Evening News, what kind of thoughts do you have about today's major media reports across the country that you are a representative of the new generation of poisonous Chinese students?"

"Hello, I'm Zhou Fan, a reporter from Yuetan Morning Post, what do you think of the opposition and refutation of your new book "Triple Gate" by many scholars?"

"One day after the book was published, today's major media across the country have published articles, some say that you are a cancer in the new era, some say that you are unconventional and have no connotation, do you think what they said is right?"

“……”

seems to have caused a chain reaction, in fact, from the moment he asked people to ask questions, Yu Bai felt that this scene would occur, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly, let alone that these reporters would be so shameless and skinless, and they would preemptively strike regardless of the occasion, and they would also put people to death.

Yu Bai didn't have to listen to these questions, he didn't have to think about it, he understood that it was aimed at him.

And most importantly, you can't refute it with reason, because no matter what you say, to justify, as long as you say what they asked, it is equivalent to jumping into the pit they dug.

Of course, Yu Bai wouldn't jump in so stupidly, so even though he was angry at them for disrupting the normal signing process, he still faced it with a smile.

It can be seen that most celebrities look like each other in front of and off the stage, not because they are willing to do this, but because they are forced to be helpless.

Just when Yu Bai was tired of coping, when the audience below was stunned by these reporters' questions, outside the event venue, in a corner.

There happened to be a KFC, and in the morning, you could see at a glance that there was a person sitting in front of the window, and what was even more conspicuous was that the things in front of him had obviously not been moved, just staring at Yu Bai with two eyes.

The quietness on his side and the liveliness on Yu Bai's side seem to be two extremes.

Soon, a person walked into this KFC from the signing party, and then came to him, whispering what he had just seen.

"President Cao, the other side has already started according to the previous arrangement."

"Well, what is Wang Tansheng's reaction recently?"

"He? According to the people below, it's nothing, it's just a few friends from the media who came over, but President Cao, don't worry, those people are relying on friends to go, and we are really giving red envelopes. It will soon be clear who works hard and who does not. ”

At this point, the person known as President Cao was smiling on his cheeks, and then pushed the hamburger fries in front of him forward, and then stood up and walked outside, "Lao Wang! You just ask for more blessings, don't say that you are pulling over a junior student, even if you invite the world's literary champion, he can't save your publishing house. ”
