Chapter 447: Hi Together
Xiao Fei saw that these people were at a loss, and knew that they didn't know what to do. He walked away, took out his mobile phone and dialed Liu Zelai.
As soon as the phone was dialed, the other party answered.
"Mr. Xiao, have you arrived?" Liu Zelai asked on the phone.
"Well, Brother Zelai, I'm standing here at the side entrance of Xinhua Bookstore, why didn't I see your people?" Xiao Fei glanced at Cheng Editor not far away, lowered his voice and asked.
"I'm in Xinhua Bookstore, I've already done everything you told me yesterday, I'll bring someone over now?"
"Brother Zelai, you don't have to come over, you just have someone send it over." Xiao Fei said.
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Fei first said hello to Editor Cheng, saying that he had made some preparations yesterday after taking into account today's situation.
Xiao Fei's words made Editor Cheng surprised and delighted, and even asked Xiao Fei what preparations he had made. Xiao Fei told him that there were some packaging materials on the scene.
It didn't take long for four or five people to come over with bits and pieces.
"It's Mr. Xiao, right?" The man who took the lead came to Xiao Fei and asked.
"Yes." Xiao Fei nodded.
"Something was sent to you, you see, do you want to help you get it on the spot?"
"Okay, thank you."
These people began to get busy, and first a big red banner was hung on the lintel of the side door of Xinhua Bookstore, which read: Writer Xiao Fei's "Harvest" supplement and the signing of the novel "Brothers".
In addition to the banners, a set of stereos was also set up, and some warm-up music began to be played.
There are also two roll-up banners that are stretched out, and they are tied to two street trees with ropes in the direction of the launch ceremony of "Notes on Tomb Robbery".
The display shelf is also printed with the words "Xiao Fei Signing Meeting".
A small flaming red carpet spreads out in this narrow corner. It was directly paved to the launch ceremony of "Tomb Robbery Notes", and was integrated with the red carpet spread there.
There is also a green guide arrow sticker on the carpet, on which is written the words "Xiao Fei's signing will move forward".
Editor Cheng stood next to Xiao Fei and looked at the changed scene, a little dumbfounded. With just a few things on display, the atmosphere of the signing meeting can be barely created.
"Xiao Fei, you asked you to prepare these things?" Cheng asked in surprise. Compared to his own rush and confusion, Xiao Fei was really thoughtful.
"Yes, Mr. Cheng, I asked you yesterday what preparations you have made, and you said that you made a banner, and you didn't get anything else, so I asked someone to make something for you, so as not to go crazy on the spot." Xiao Fei said with a smile.
"Alas! Still inexperienced, I panicked when things came to me. Xiao Fei, this time I really lost you. Editor Cheng patted Xiao Fei on the shoulder, very emotional and moved.
This signing was obviously done by Xiao Fei with himself, but now, it is Xiao Fei who has done him a great favor.
"Teacher Cheng, you're welcome, it's really nothing, you see. Some readers have come, let's prepare too. Let's start signing. Xiao Fei said.
"It's just that if we spread the carpet to the launch ceremony of "Tomb Robbery Notes", will people not be happy?" Editor Cheng was a little worried.
"Don't worry! I've coordinated with the general manager of Hanmo, and they won't object. Xiao Fei said.
"Oh, that's good." Editor Cheng put down the dim sum at this time.
Let's say, Xiao Fei's banner at the signing meeting was sold. As soon as the roll-up banner was placed, it was immediately noticed by many people.
In fact, there are indeed quite a few readers who are ready to come and participate in the signing of the long-form supplement issue.
But these early readers arrived at the scene but couldn't find a place for the "Harvest" magazine to hold a signing, but the launch ceremony of "Notes on Tomb Robbery" was a big sensation.
Everyone was a little confused and didn't understand what was going on. How did the signing of the long supplement issue of "Harvest" become the launch ceremony of "Notes on Tomb Robbery".
But since you came, you can't come in vain.
"Notes on Tomb Robbery" has been very popular recently, and this book is a new work by the owner of Mengbizhai, the author of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", and the appeal is still very strong, and there is a big lottery on the spot.
The vast majority of readers who came to the second half of "Harvest" and "Brothers" stayed at the launch ceremony of "Tomb Robbery Notes", they all bought the new book of "Tomb Robbery Notes", and waited for the lottery while flipping through it.
This is because the place where "Harvest" is placed is too inconspicuous, and there is no eye-catching sign, even if you see it, people don't know what it is doing here, and they automatically ignore it.
But as soon as the banner roll-up banner of the signing party was unfurled, people immediately noticed it.
"Ahh It turned out that the personal signing meeting held by "Harvest" for Xiao Fei was held there, and I didn't notice it before! ”
"The place is so remote, there was nothing but two tables before, and it's normal not to notice it."
"Oh my God! I'm so happy, I thought Xiao Fei's signing was not going to be done today! ”
"Look! Xiao Fei is already here, sitting there. ”
"I'm just running for "Brothers", hurry up and buy a copy, get a sneak peek!"
Some people who were originally staying at the scene of the "Tomb Robbery Notes" event "hulala" ran over, and a long queue soon formed in front of the signing table where Xiao Fei was sitting.
But the scene of the launch ceremony of "Tomb Robbery Notes" was still bustling, and the popularity did not decrease too much.
Editor Cheng stood aside to maintain order on the scene, he counted the people who kept running over, his heart was beating fiercely, this morning, his emotions were like a roller coaster, he felt that his heart was a little unbearable.
It wasn't until he watched a long line of more than 100 people form that he was greatly relieved.
It seems that the atmosphere of the scene was not arranged just now, so that it affected the effect of the event.
He just saw that the scene of the "Harvest" signing meeting was deserted, and he really even had the heart to die.
"Dear readers and friends, hello everyone, this is the signing site of the long supplement number launched by Harvest magazine for the second half of Xiao Fei's new novel "Brothers"! Please line up to maintain order on the spot, thank you for your cooperation! ”
Editor Cheng spoke into the microphone passionately enlivening the atmosphere of the scene.
"Harvest" is the most prestigious large-scale pure literature magazine in China, founded by Mr. Ba Jin, a famous writer in China and the current chairman of the Chinese Writers Association. Since its inception, Harvest has always adhered to the principle of Pa Lao: Harvest only publishes the best literary works. Over the years, a large number of classic works with the influence of the times in China have been published, and a large number of outstanding young writers have been cultivated! At present, the outstanding representative writers of the domestic literary circle, such as Yu Hua, Su Tong, Ge Fei, Wang Anyi, etc., all started from "Harvest", and quickly conquered readers across the country with their works, and then began to have a world reputation! ”
"Today. Xiao Fei, who held the signing event here, is also a talented young writer, who made a national sensation in 1996 when his novel "The Fish Walking on Land" appeared in Harvest Magazine! Xiao Fei is a genius writer, but also a diligent writer, in just over a year, he has created and published a series of important works, such as "The Fish Walking on Land", "Bright Sword", and "The First Close Contact" were first published in the harvest magazine and set off a wide range of public opinion, without exception by the majority of readers warmly welcomed! ”
"If you talk about the most important outstanding novels of domestic literature in 1997. Then, Xiao Fei's "Brothers" can't be bypassed no matter what. Xiao Fei's new novel "Brothers" with its humorous language, deep narrative, easy-to-read story, and shocking character creation set off Xiao Fei's craze again in the autumn and winter of 97! ”
"Since the publication of "Brothers" in the autumn and winter volume of the 1997 novel, countless readers have been eagerly awaiting the early release of "Brothers" to meet their reading expectations!"
Now, to meet the expectations of the readers. "Harvest" magazine has launched the second half of "Brothers" in the form of a supplement issue of the novel! Today, we are here for a signing ceremony. The purpose is to let readers who love Xiao Fei's works read the second half of "Brothers" as soon as possible! ”
"I sincerely hope that all readers and friends can support the harvest and support Xiao Fei! Thank you! ”
Editor Cheng held the microphone and talked endlessly.
From the introduction of "Harvest" to the contribution of "Harvest" to the domestic literary circle, to the cultivation of young writers in "Harvest", and finally to the promotion of Xiao Fei's new works.
I have to say that his words are still very contagious.
In the voice of Editor Cheng's words. More and more readers lined up in the long line, and the signing scene here slowly became enthusiastic.
It's still quite cold today.
The conditions for conducting a book signing in the open air are also quite difficult.
In fact, every reader who came to the event was tightly wrapped.
But even so, spending a lot of time outside. The body is still easily frozen, which is the natural defect of outdoor activities in winter.
In fact, if you don't love it enough, the ghost will crawl out of the warm bed on this cold day and run a long way, just to get a new book signed by the author.
is still the same sentence, those who come to the scene are true love.
Xiao Fei sat behind the table, constantly laughing with the readers who came to him, and carefully signed his name on the title page of the book they handed over.
"Please give more suggestions to the 'Dai Shuming' book friends!"
"I wish Mr. 'Fang Yushu' a happy family!"
"Good books are like friends, and they can accompany each other for a lifetime!"
"Read good books, be a good person, and achieve great things!"
"Good "Brother", affectionate and righteous!"
"The real "Brothers", for a lifetime!"
These random words increased Xiao Fei's workload, but they made every reader who received this personalized signature extremely happy and excited.
At this moment, they felt that even if they were cold, it was worth it. Such a book signed by your favorite author can even be kept as a family heirloom forever.
Some readers saw Xiao Fei sitting behind the table, just wearing a down jacket that looked very thin, and felt distressed.
"Xiao Fei, you're too thin, aren't you? It's going to freeze, take off my coat for you, you can cover it quickly! ”
While speaking, the reader took off the heavy cotton coat on his body, and insisted that Xiao Fei wear it on his body.
This made Xiao Fei very moved.
He tried his best to tell the reader that he was physically strong, and although he appeared to be thinly dressed, he was not cold at all.
That's what made the reader retract his kindness.
In the first two hours of Xiao Fei's signing, he encountered several incidents of book fans caring for themselves.
Some female readers directly took off their scarves and put them on Xiao Fei's neck and turned their heads to run, some female readers gave him a pair of fingerless gloves, and some female readers sent him a heart-shaped secret letter......
In short, there are various peculiar situations.
This made Xiao Fei a little embarrassed and nervous.
Suddenly, he felt that there were warm eyes examining him, and when Xiao Fei looked up, not far away, Xu Fengjuan was wearing a long red down jacket, standing with several of her roommates, looking at him meaningfully and smiling. And next to Xu Fengjuan and the others, Dongfang Tian and the others were also squeezing their eyebrows.
Xiao Fei shook his head at Xu Fengjuan with an innocent face.
Xu Fengjuan wrinkled her little nose at him and stuck out her little tongue, and compared it with her hand to make a "V" shape.
Xu Fengjuan and the others came by subway, half an hour later than Xiao Fei, and when they came to the scene, they saw that Xiao Fei was already busy signing the sale, and the scene was very popular.
Xu Fengjuan deliberately went to the launch ceremony of "Notes on Tomb Robbery".
Hanmo Company also specially invited a master of ceremonies, who kept talking on the stage and interacted with readers who bought books.
This master of ceremonies is repeatedly listing the publishing miracles created by "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" in China, and then emphasizing that "Notes on Tomb Robbery" is as wonderful and beautiful as the ghost blowing the lamp!
The atmosphere here was noticeably much warmer than the signing of "Harvest", and there were long queues to buy books.
To Xu Fengjuan's surprise, the master of ceremonies on the stage reminded the book-buying readers in the audience every once in a while: next to it is the scene under the famous young writer Xiao Fei's signing of "Brothers", "Brothers" is a very rare excellent novel, it is recommended that readers who like the novels of the master of Mengbizhai also buy a copy of Xiao Fei's works to read, and after a reading, it is guaranteed that readers will love it.
"Did I hear me right? The master of ceremonies at the launch ceremony of "Tomb Robbery Notes" has been saying good things for "Brothers" to promote, this undercover agent is also rampant, right? Wang Shanshan said in surprise.
"Maybe it's because the book "Brothers" is really well written, so the people at Hanmo can't help but want to recommend this book to more readers." Xu Fengjuan said with a smile.
If Wang Shanshan told them the truth, they would probably be stunned, right? Xu Fengjuan thought to herself.
In short, on this day, the readers who came to the main store of Xinhua Bookstore in Beijing to participate in the launch ceremony of "Tomb Robbery Notes" or the signing ceremony of "Harvest" held for Xiao Fei were a little insufficient.
Hanmo Company, the publisher of "Notes on Tomb Robbery", frequently recommends Xiao Fei's work "Brothers".
And the editor of "Harvest" later reciprocated the favor and began to promote "Tomb Robbery Notes" on his side. The two parties, who were originally thought to be about to collide with Mars and the Earth, actually lived in harmony, and they were happy and happy.
On the day of the launch ceremony of "Notes on Tomb Robbery" in Beijing, more than 8,000 books were sold.
The long-form supplement of "Harvest" launched exclusively for "Brothers" also sold more than 1,000 copies in the morning.
This unexpected situation was captured by the media reporters who came to the scene, and they interviewed and excavated, and issued a long report the next day.
""Notes on Tomb Robbery" and "Brothers" staged a scene to meet each other."
"Why is the king of popular literature and the classic new works of serious literature sympathetic?"
In the hot hype of the media, the name Xiao Fei and the name "Dream Bizhai Master" were taken together for the first time and pondered over and over again. (To be continued......)
