Chapter 13: Pain and Happiness
() Perhaps Yu Wenle didn't expect that the first signing session in his life would be so enthusiastically supported by book fans. The signing meeting that was originally scheduled for half a day turned out to be busy in the morning, and Yu Wenle found that the long queue had not decreased.
finally realized what it means to sign autographs, Yu Wenle, who has a sour hand, in the face of these book fans who seem to be eager to get autographs, he really can't say that 'the time for the signing meeting has come', so he can only grit his teeth and insist.
Faced with this situation, Manager Han of the book city also looked a little embarrassed and said: "Wen Shao, I'm really sorry." Looking at it like this, it seems that the book lovers who come to my bookstore to buy books are a little more than we predicted. ”
didn't say much later, and Yu Wenle could only say: "It's okay!" I'll try to stick to it! It's rare for them to be enthusiastic, and I can't spoil their fun. Anyway, people paid for my work. ”
In view of this situation, Yu Wenle quickly extended the time of the signing meeting after discussing it with Manager Han. This is undoubtedly a rare good news for many book lovers who are queuing up but are worried that the signing will end at any time.
A group of reporters in charge of the interview saw that Yu Wenle didn't even eat lunch, and only drank a few sips of water halfway, and always kept a smile to sign autographs for book fans. I also feel that this seemingly difficult Yu Wenle is not as arrogant as he imagined.
At least in the matter of dealing with book lovers, Yu Wenle is very sincere!
Compared with some well-known authors in the Yanhuang Empire, they hold a signing meeting, and the agreed hours are a few hours. One more minute, and many of them won't stay. And Yu Wenle's ability to extend the signing session is itself a kind of gratitude to book fans.
Qian Xuewen, who learned the news, also thought it was a good publicity stunt. Coupled with the sales feedback from bookstores across the country on the first day, 100,000 sets of 'Xiaoao Jianghu', which had just started on sale, were sold.
This means that the sales of 'Xiaoao Jianghu' on the first day reached as much as 10 million. According to the accounting of the royal culture, this has basically earned back their investment, and the subsequent sales will be profits!
As a rookie author, the sales of his first work exceeded 100,000 copies on the first day, which is really rare. According to this expectation, Qian Xuewen feels that there is still hope for the final sales to reach 500,000 sets!
Sitting on the chair, Yu Wenle finished signing the last book fan, only to find that the sky had become dark. At the end of this day, Yu Wenle didn't know how many books he had signed.
But he knows that every book he signs is money! For the sake of money, Yu Wenle felt that it was acceptable to suffer a little!
When the signing meeting ended, a group of waiting reporters rushed over and said, "Wen Shao, congratulations on the success of your first signing session." Just now, Royal Culture has officially announced that your work has sold more than 100,000 sets on the first day.
We would like to ask, is there anything you would like to say about such a result? Also, can you tell us how you felt about your first book signing? ”
In the face of these reporters' inquiries, the assistant who accompanied Yu Wenle also explained that these reporters were invited by Royal Culture to promote his new book. It's not good not to answer the other person's questions!
After thinking about it, Yu Wenle said: "For the results of the first day of release, what I want to say most is to thank every book fan who supported me. As for the impressions of the signing meeting, how to describe it? Pain and rejoice! I can't seem to lift my hand anymore. ”
Looking at Yu Wenle with a wry smile on his face, these reporters also felt that Yu Wenle was really honest. However, during the signing meeting for nearly eight hours in a row, Yu Wenle didn't even eat, which was indeed a bit hard-working!
After laughing, a reporter said: "Wen Shao, next you will go to the country to hold a signing meeting." Do you have any expectations for the final sales of your work? The sales volume exceeded 100,000 on the first day, and you are also the first person among the newcomer authors! ”
Thank you for your good words, but I really can't afford this first person's praise. To have such sales, it is more thanks to the support of book fans, and of course, thanks to the promotion of Royal Culture and you.
As for the expectation of physical book sales, I can only tell you that I will do my best to cooperate with Royal Culture to promote it. I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to everyone who has purchased the book.
In the future, I will do my best to provide readers with works that they will be satisfied with. I would like to take this opportunity to hope that all media friends will help to do more publicity, so that the final sales should be better! ’
After answering some questions from these reporters, Yu Wenle finally took the car he had come to and left the Hope Book City with the smile on Manager Han's face. Most of the novels sold in Hope Book City today are hardcover novels.
Compared with the books sold in other cities, most of them are still mainly in softcover. The hardcover version can undoubtedly make more profits than the lite version. Therefore, today's Hope Book City will also inherit the favor of Wenle.
Returning to the Royal Culture Media Company again, President Qian Xuewen also warmly went downstairs to greet him. Looking at Yu Wenle, who was a little tired, Qian Xuewen also said with concern: "Wenle, are you okay?" ”
'It's okay! Except that you can't lift your hands a little, you should be fine after a night's rest. ’
Just when Qian Xuewen invited Yu Wenle to have a light meal, Yu Wenle smiled bitterly and said, "President Qian, I'm afraid that it won't work at night." My father is already waiting outside, and the family is ready to cook for me to come home! I have to leave again the day after tomorrow, and I want to spend more time with my family. ”
Hearing that Yu Wenle refused the invitation, Qian Xuewen didn't feel any regrets. On the contrary, he is still more relieved that Bunraku loves his family so much. After all, the older a person is, the more they understand the meaning of home.
When he left the royal culture, Yu Wenle returned to the villa in his father's car with a hundred sets of hardcover books. And these 100 sets of books, the car that Yu Wenle bought, really can't put it down.
In the end, it was the royal culture that sent a car to deliver the 100 sets of novels ordered by Bunraku to Yu Bunraku's villa. Looking at the books placed at home, full of ink, the family also seemed very happy.
Only Yu Wenle's mother, looking at Yu Wenle, who was a little weak in her right hand, said very distressedly: "You stinky boy, why are you so reluctant?" It's going to be okay with this hand, right? ”
'Mom, it's okay! Didn't you medicate me earlier? Have a night's rest and you should be fine tomorrow. ’
Looking at the pile of books at home, Yu Rong also asked, "Wenle, do you plan to mail out all these books?" ”
Some of them will be mailed, and some will be brought back to Jiangnan and the seaside to be sent directly to people. But at home, let's keep a few more! The next time a friend comes to your home, these books can be given as a gift. ’
As a rookie author, Yu Wenle believes that in the future, he should have some contact with people in this circle. At that time, it is also a matter of course to give each other's works.
That night, Yu Wenle, under the reminder of his father, made a phone call with the original owner of the house, Mr. Zhu, who was far away. Knowing that Yu Wenle's book was finally on sale, Old Man Zhu also seemed very happy.
After sending the address to Yu Wenle, the old man also said with some concern: "Wenle, are those flowers and plants in my yard okay?" ”
'Don't worry! During this time, my father consulted several gardening teachers in the community to teach a lot about managing flowers and plants. Now the yard is full of flowers, especially those osmanthus flowers bloom well, and you can smell the fragrance when you walk into the yard! ’
Hearing this news, Old Man Zhu, who was far away, also seemed relieved. In his days abroad, what he was most concerned about was the flowers and plants that their old couple had worked hard to cultivate.
The next day, Yu Wenle specially found a digital camera to shoot a video of the flowers and plants in the yard and sent it to Mr. Zhu, who also seemed very moved, and felt that selling the house to Yu Wenle finally had nothing to entrust.
