That week, the highly anticipated novel topped Time Magazine's bestseller list.
Time Review: This is an excellent novel that deserves glory!
The Los Angeles Post commented: "This is a great book to think about. ”
And among teenagers, the admiration for this book is even more unimaginable.
The book club that was once established after the first part of the series of novels was published has grown to 300,000 people by this time.
And the reason why this book is so popular, in addition to the fact that the book itself is really fascinating enough, naturally also has the bonus of Chen Xueqian's age.
In the American youth group, there has always been a high degree of recognition for young talents. And Chen Xueqian, the teenager among the teenagers, is far younger than those geniuses who dropped out of college, and the legend is naturally stronger.
Most importantly, his achievements have opened the eyes of many to what is possible. With a novel becoming popular, it's much more likely than inventing a brand new computer system!
Coupled with Chen Xueqian's identity as a Chinese, and few reports about him have come out, it adds a bit of mystery to him.
The release of "One Punch Man" in May proved his talent from another angle, and it was by no means a flash in the pan.
Because of the above reasons, many young people in the United States worship Chen Xueqian madly.
When the news came out that Chen Xueqian would hold a signing in the United States, I don't know how many American teenagers were excited.
"I'm going to watch, I'm going to see with my own eyes what kind of person Chen is!" A fan posted on his blog.
"I'm going to marry in China, don't stop me!" It's a fan girl.
And Chen Xueqian obviously didn't know anything about all this, and he thought that the scale of the signing meeting this time should be not much different from that held in Japan.
However, when he actually came to the scene and looked at the endless procession, he really realized that this place is different from Japan!
Before the signing began, a reporter interviewed Chen Xueqian.
"Sam, how did you come up with the idea to write a novel like this?" The journalist asked.
"The inspiration for writing this book was actually because one day I watched a movie by Bruce Lee (Bruce Lee) and watched the scene of him and the villain finally having a showdown in the Colosseum, and suddenly such an idea flashed!" Chen Xueqian said casually.
"We know, in
In your book, Capitol is a totalitarian, authoritarian, brutal evil state. Are you alluding to China's political system? ”
Chen Xueqian suddenly looked at the other party with an expression that you thought too much: "Capitol is just an image I imagined, if I have to find any prototype, it is probably just an association caused by seeing the wealth in the world concentrated in the hands of a small number of people." ”
Listening to Chen Xueqian's explanation, the others lowered their heads and recorded.
The reporter didn't give up and wanted to say something, but Chen Xueqian directly called another reporter.
"Sam, many teenagers in society now look up to you as a role model, do you have any advice for them?" A reporter asked.
Chen Xueqian nodded and said: "Everyone's path is different, my path may not be suitable for everyone, but what I can tell you is that the road to success may be varied, but the quality required for success will never change." Maintain a strong curiosity and rich imagination, and give maximum attention and effort to the things you like. Do these things, and success is not far from you! ”
After a brief interview, the signing officially began, and when Chen Xueqian saw a large wave of American girls of all colors rushing towards him, he was still excited for a moment.
Although these people like the novels they copied, this does not prevent Chen Xueqian from secretly getting excited in his heart.
Signing is not an easy task, because your hands soon start to ache when you have to write non-stop. Seeing Chen Xueqian's sweat covering his forehead, Bai Feifei hurriedly came over to help him wipe it.
Chen Xueqian didn't stop signing for a moment.
Countless American girls looked at Chen Xueqian excitedly, just like looking at an alien, many girls looked at Chen Xueqian's not handsome, but very tasteful facial features, and the kind of elegance that emanated from the inside, and stood aside excitedly
Jumping around.
When Chen Xueqian signed for a girl again, the girl asked very shyly, "Can I shake your hand?" ”
It was the first time that Chen Xueqian had been asked to make such a request, he was stunned for a moment, and then nodded and said, "Of course!" ”
The girl was suddenly overjoyed, and excitedly stretched out her hand to hold Chen Xueqian's hand tightly.
Originally, there should have been a handshake link for the signing book, but today's attitude is real, Chen Xueqian has to omit this link in order to sign more readers.
It's just that the person who followed the girl suddenly did the same. For a while, Chen Xueqian's signing speed couldn't help but slow down a little.
From morning to noon, Chen Xueqian almost didn't stop for a moment, his right hand was so sore that he couldn't even pick up the tableware for eating. Bai Feifei was obliged to pick up the bowl and feed Chen Xueqian, which made Chen Xueqian, who was originally going to eat with his left hand, lazy and open.
After signing autographs in the morning, Chen Xueqian found that more than 80% of his book fans were girls. This made him feel a little proud. Is it possible that you can become a male god yourself?
Bai Feifei looked at his happy appearance and couldn't help but say a little sourly: "Are you happy?" ”
Regarding this kind of problem, Chen Xueqian naturally chose to avoid talking about it.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, the signing continued again, Chen Xueqian began to sign with his left hand, Bai Feifei looked at Chen Xueqian, whose flexibility was not inferior to his right hand, and was speechless for a while, feeling that he was simply too much at noon.
Even if there is a swap of left and right hands, after signing and selling in one day, Chen Xueqian is completely tired. In the car back to the hotel, Bai Feifei carefully massaged his palm.
Chen Xueqian asked casually: "How many copies did I sign today?" ”
"More than 1,800 people!" Bai Feifei replied instantly.
Chen Xueqian was slightly stunned: "So many! That's a lot! No wonder so tired. ”
At the same time as they finished the signing, the American media had already printed the next day's entertainment news headlines.
"The Hunger Games" author Chen Xueqian made his debut in New York to hold a book signing sale, and the number of book fans on site exceeded 2,000.
"The Hunger Games' new book release continues to be hot, and the scene is crowded."
"On this day, he was the most high-profile star -- the author of "The Hunger Games" signed books and sold them very well!"
The overwhelming coverage swept the entire United States, and the interview with Chen Xueqian also received super high ratings. Countless teenagers looked at Chen Xueqian with a look of longing after listening to his speech, and they couldn't wait to fully devote themselves to their thoughts immediately. (To be continued.) )
