Chapter 115: Signing Meeting (I)

On June 5, inside and outside the main store of a large bookstore chain in Tokyo's Shinjuku district, there was already a queue of readers waiting for Takeshita Kusashi to sign autographs. I have already received the news that they have such a signing meeting, but they are full of a lot of expectations. Among them, some die-hard fans of Takeshita Kusabi are enthusiastic, and they ran here to grab a place and queue up on the first night, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it with the word "ten thousand empty alleys", which is comparable to the debut of Apple's new mobile phone. What's more, it was the first signing meeting of Takeshita Kussake. Therefore, in the minds of worshippers, it is regarded as quite important and sacred.

Especially in the marketing of the Literary and Artistic Spring and Autumn Publishing House, it can be played out that they have worked hard, and it is not easy to impress Takeshita Grass Mustard himself with sincerity in order to repay the long-term support of the majority of readers for the "Literary Spring and Autumn" publication. If you miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, I am afraid it will be difficult to say whether there will be a second signing of Takeshita Kusabi in the future. Moreover, of course, they will not lose the opportunity to promote Takeshita Kusaoke, who is less than 30 years old, not only to give readers a good image of young and promising, handsome and good-looking, full of intellect and connotation, but also to emphasize that he is the first Japanese writer and the first Asian to win the international IMPAC Dublin Literary Award.

As a result, readers who think that they are the most loyal fans of Takeshita Kusa are completely mobilized. After all, in their consensus, if I don't have a physical book signed by the other party in my hand, I feel that I don't have the confidence to say that I am a fan of Takeshita Mustard.

In the same way, if an individual has a book in his hand that is autographed by Takeshita Kusaoke, then it is extremely face-saving and beautiful. In their minds, Takeshita will not only be the first Japanese to win the Nobel Prize in Literature, the highest award in the international literary award, but will also become a world-class master fiction writer like Balzac, or even the king of novels, Balzac.

At the same time, in addition to "Rashomon" and "Kokoro", two physical books that have already been released and sold more than one million in Japan, the third physical book "Poppy Grass" is also on sale. Through the advice of Chie Sakai, the person in charge of this signing meeting, to Takeshita Kusaoke, the most direct purpose of the second day was to choose Sunday, a rest day, for this most popular scene. Therefore, it is inevitable that readers who like Takeshita's Kusa novels will come to a big party.

While waiting in line in an orderly manner, they chatted about Takeshita's mustard novels, whether they knew each other or not, they all gathered together because they had a common hobby. If someone can express a deeper and more unique opinion on any of Takeshita's novels, it will naturally attract the attention of many people and enjoy the good feeling of being noticed and different. Of course, there were also controversies and discussions of different opinions. Especially in the mainstream three factions of the Takeshita grass mustard online support group, the Takeshita faction, the grass mustard life, and the Takeshita grass mustard powder, the "offensive and defensive war" was enthusiastically launched.

For this reason, book lovers who are absolutely unwilling to miss such a good opportunity will come from all over Tokyo in groups or in small groups in advance. When they rushed to the scene to witness the event, they wanted to take a look at the great writer idol Takeshita Kusaokei in their hearts. Among those in line were some of the most loyal fans who had flown overnight from outside the Tokyo area.

In order to prevent accidents, the bookstore not only mobilized all the security personnel it could mobilize, and the staff went to the scene to maintain order and let people in batch by batch, but also many news media personnel and more than a dozen policemen rushed over. For a while, it completely caused a big blockage in this area. Not only that, but from time to time, you can hear a group of people gathered around like fans, clapping their hands rhythmically, shouting the name of Takeshita Kusakei over and over again, but there is no quiet and peaceful scene at all, as if they are welcoming the arrival of the emperor's superstar.

And Chie Sakai, who had already received the news that it was clear that the signing site was already overcrowded, was too unexpected. Although the marketing plan I presided over was extremely well done and excellent, I really didn't expect so many readers to come from all over the country. She was not excited and excited in her heart, standing in front of the large floor-to-ceiling window in the large living room of Takeshita Mustard, pacing in place, holding the mobile phone in her right hand and putting it next to the ear on the same side, she said very worriedly: "Store manager Koizumi, should we cancel the signing meeting scheduled for today and reschedule it?" There are so many people here, I'm afraid that it will cause the scene to get out of control and cause chaos, causing unnecessary accidents in Takeshita Kusaoji himself. ”

"Miss Sakai, you must not do this. If you cancel the signing, I'm going to have to be smashed by some of the fanatical readers out there. You have to put yourself in our shoes. The head store manager, who was so anxious to stay in the air-conditioned room that he was not only sweating profusely, but also his shirt was wet with sweat, held the phone tightly with one hand, and pressed the other hand heavily on the office desktop. He stood up suddenly, and his heart was in a hurry.

"I understand your difficulties, but who understands my difficulties? You can't let Takeshita Kusa take risks for a signing party! Chie Sakai, who turned sideways, walked back and forth along the tempered floor-to-ceiling glass window, with personal concerns, and competed with each other.

"Miss Sakai, don't forget. We do have a formal written contract. If you do that, it will be a unilateral breach of contract. The head store manager who was constantly wiping his face with his free hand and sweat on his forehead and bare head had no choice but to use the contract to put pressure on her.

Sakai Chie, who was not a little flustered, had a cold smile on her face, and said without giving in: "But don't forget, there is such a clear clause in the terms of the contract, that is, Party A has the right to change the time of the signing meeting according to the specific situation." So, we can't talk about default. ”

"Sakai-san, I beg you. You should read the love of our long-term happy cooperation with your company, but don't do that. As for your great kindness, I and all my colleagues will remember it and be grateful. "Knowing that canceling the signing will not only cause huge losses, but also affect the personal future and the general store manager who will stay and stay, he is neither willing to bear the blame nor accept the actual disadvantage. His voice completely changed, so he almost knelt down and kowtowed to her in person.
