Chapter 201: Fan Meeting
Wei Xia wore a big toad glass, covered half of his face, and then put on a hat, at this time, even if a familiar person saw it, he might not recognize him.
And the cocoon, also wearing a toad glass, stood behind Wei Xia.
Looking at the appearance of the two, it is like a star and an agent.
Behind the two of them, there were five stout men, these five people were the bodyguards hired by Xinchang Publishing House from the security company in case of accidents.
Of course, the money for hiring a bodyguard is Wei Xia's own expense, which was said in advance, and it will be directly deducted from Wei Xia's manuscript fee at that time.
The five bodyguards are usually responsible for protecting celebrities or wealthy businessmen, and at this time they were arranged to protect a little-known little author, although they felt that it was a bit of a fuss, but they had professional qualities, but they didn't say much, and they did their duty.
The signing officially began, and Wei Xia was slightly nervous.
Although he is well-known on the Internet, after all, fans are reading books on the Internet, and it is not certain that someone will come to buy physical books.
After all, who would buy a book that has already been read except for the one they want to take home and collect.
This is the first volume of "Ghost Lost Heart" serialized on the Internet, so Wei Xia is a little worried.
Xinchang Publishing House prepared 500 physical copies of "Ghost Lost Mind" for Wei Xia to sign at a crossroads in this mall.
It's good that all of them are sold, and the rest is shipped back to the publishing house.
After all, the purpose of the signing is not to sell many books, but to form a form of publicity.
If it is a very famous writer in the publishing industry, there will be media who come to interview him, but now, let alone the media, there are not many readers who come to buy books.
Many customers used to be curious to read it, and then not many came to buy books, and not everyone likes to read novels on the Internet.
The signing ceremony is no different from that of other writers, who buy books from the staff sent by Xinchang Publishing House, and then come to Weixia to sign them.
"What? Nervous? Cocoon asked.
"Why, I haven't experienced any big winds and waves, this kind of small scene will make me nervous." Wei Xia's dead duck has a hard mouth.
"It's as if you're really old, and you're still a sophomore in high school, so you're pretending to be deep." Cocoon said.
Wei Xia ignored her again.
The cocoon smiled evilly, leaned into Wei Xia's ear, and said: "Haha, I'm happy to see you like this, in fact, the signing time written on the promotional posters we hung in this mall, and the signing time announced by the publishing house when it was advertised in some publicity channels, is ten minutes later." ”
"Are you interested in playing this trick on me?" Wei Xia pretended to be angry, but he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Cocoon, this woman, is really full of bad fun.
"I didn't fool you, and you didn't ask me the specific time of the signing, I thought you knew." Cocoon looked innocent: "It's just ten minutes ahead of schedule, so that you can get used to this kind of scene." ”
Cocoon was wearing toad glasses, Wei Xia couldn't see her eyes, but he was sure that she must be joking now.
After five or six minutes, finally, the number of people who came to sign the sale gradually increased.
A cute girl with black-framed eyes bought a book, then came to Wei Xia, handed the book in her arms to Wei Xia, and said a little nervously: "Uncle Zhong, can you sign for me." ”
"Absolutely." Wei Xia lowered his voice and made a deep and magnetic voice, although his handwriting was not very good-looking, but in front of the marker, it would not be ugly.
Therefore, the fact that the signature will be embarrassed will not happen to him.
"Thank you, Uncle Zhong, I'm your fan, I like to watch "Ghost Lost Heart"." The cute girl is a little excited.
"Thank you for your support, and I hope you will continue to support me in the future." Wei Xia said with a smile.
"Yes, I will. Uncle Zhong, can you take a picture with me? ”
Wei Xia hesitated for a moment but agreed, but fortunately, the cute girl didn't ask him to take off his hat and sunglasses to take a photo.
After the group photo, the cute girl was so happy that she held the book and mobile phone as if she had a baby, and then stammered and asked, "Uncle Zhong, can I hug you?" ”
Wei Xia was stunned for a moment, and looked around, there were still some people behind the cute girl waiting in line for a signing, if he hugged her, he would get off to a bad start, and if everyone asked him to hug him in the back, he would not be busy to death.
"Forget it, you see there are still a lot of people watching behind you, if I hug you, what if they ask for this for a while."
The cute girl is still very considerate, just think about it, say goodbye to Uncle Wei Xia, and leave with the book Xiaobu.
The next person came, a young man in his twenties.
"Hey, Uncle Finale, can you let me see your face and see if you're the same as I imagined."
“……”
The next people looking for Wei Xia to sign were men and women, as well as a few middle-aged people in their thirties and forties, most of them asked to sign the book, chatted with Wei Xia and left, but some asked for a group photo, asked for a hug, asked for a handshake......
The simple request Wei Xia agreed, and the troublesome one was politely refused. Most of the people who still love to read are gentle people who don't mess around, and they leave after being rejected.
However, except for middle-aged people in their thirties and forties, young people in their teens and twenties, without exception, all of them called Wei Xia uncle.
It seems that they subconsciously regard the destined loneliness as an uncle who has gone through all the vicissitudes of life.
Wei Xia didn't feel embarrassed, but was very happy, which proves that his pen is profound, and people can't tell that this will be written by a high school student.
Taking advantage of the gap between a reader getting the signed book and leaving, the cocoon leaned over and said calmly: "Uncle Zhong, sign me in the future." I'm a fan of yours, "Ghost Lost Heart" has been updated, and I've watched it many times. ”
"......" Wei Xia was speechless, and the voice of the calloon was calm but full of evil fun.
Wei Xia gradually found that if the cocoon became familiar with a person, it would no longer be the quiet appearance of a Barbie doll, but a little bit of a little daughter's bad taste.
However, although such a cocoon is a little bit earthy, it makes people more willing to get close.
It's also more fascinating.
The signing lasted for more than 20 minutes, and nearly 200 copies of the books he brought were sold, although he couldn't compare with those famous writers, but Wei Xia was a rookie writer in the publishing industry, and it was not bad to have such results.
Just then, there was a jumble of footsteps.
Wei Xia looked up and saw a group of people rushing over quickly.
This group is basically all young people in their twenties, and most of them are girls.
"Finally caught up! Finally caught up! ”
"Look, look, that's the end!"
"Really, really, I finally see the end of my life."
"My God, the old man is so stylish and cool, it's completely different from the vicissitudes of life I imagined."
A chaotic noise came, and the group of people ran towards Wei Xia in a mighty manner.
"Let me go first, let me go first! Do I feel easy here from the coast? Just to see the big side of the end, the journey is tiring, you just let me go first. ”
"Are you stupid to us, or are you stupid yourself, the boss still has to go to Mingzhu City for signing, if you live in a coastal city, why don't you go to Mingzhu City, but come to the imperial capital with us."
"It doesn't matter who you are, there's nothing that doesn't go first, the old man is there, and you can't run away, the order is the same."
"Brothers and sisters, let me go first, I still have urgent matters at home, I want to hurry up to meet the eldest boss, get the autograph, and then go home to deal with the emergency."
"Who are you fooling! It's funny that your family is in a hurry and you still fly to the imperial capital. ”
……
A group of people pushed me and rushed towards Wei Xia.
The five bodyguards behind Wei Xia who first went to protect Wei Xia felt that it was a big deal to protect Wei Xia came back to their senses at this time, and hurriedly ran to Wei Xia's side, surrounded the small table where Wei Xia was signing, and protected Wei Xia inside.
The two sides met in an instant.
Although this group of people with one or two hundred people ran over with great momentum, just like they were released from the starvation prison just now, but when they came to Wei Xia's side, they were slightly quieter, although they all wanted to let Wei Xia sign first, but they restrained themselves, and they did not have the kind of frenzy that Wei Xia saw in the entertainment news, and the fans of celebrities saw their idols.
Cocoon is well-informed, and in the face of this kind of scene, he has no stage fright, and stands up and loudly asks everyone to line up to buy books first, and then come to Wei Xia for autographs.
"We only brought 500 copies today, and now we have sold nearly 200 copies, and if you don't hurry, I'm afraid we will sell out."
Hearing what Cocoon said, this group of people reacted, and hurriedly went to the staff arranged by Xinchang to buy books, and lined up in an orderly manner.
But all eyes glanced at Wei Xia, wanting to see what their eldest looked like.
The people who bought the book and came to Wei Xia to sign it were very excited, and a few of them said excitedly that they wouldn't speak.
"The end of the boss, I am from Shaanxi, I heard that you are going to sign the sale, so I picked the area where you want to sign, and the imperial capital closest to Shaanxi is here, just to see you." This is a shy teenager, who stutters a little, his face is flushed, and he is very excited.
"The end of the day, we are all ghosts in the sticker bar, I am a small bar owner, these fans of yours are all organized by me in the sticker bar, and the basic ones who signed up are here. We're here to see you and to cheer you on. ”
This is a pretty cute girl, who looks proud when she speaks, and wants Wei Xia to behave.
"You have a heart, thank you, I'm really moved, in order to repay you, I'll write you one more sentence. Are you a student or a worker? ”
"I'm still in college." Hearing that Wei Xia was going to write a sentence specifically for him, the girl was very excited.
"I wish you no failure!" Wei Xia thought about it and wrote this sentence.
After the girl saw it, she was stunned, then laughed playfully, winked at Wei Xia, and said, "Thank you, Boss Ling, this is our little secret, I won't tell other book lovers." ”
