"You, are you Gu Cheng, the author of the novel "Da Ming"?" Looking at the advertisement, the girl asked suspiciously. She is still about a high school student, about the same age as Gu Cheng, but in his eyes, this kind of expression is undoubtedly young.

"That's right! I am. Please, do you need a signature? A book signing event is held here today! Gu Cheng smiled and blinked.

"Wow! So handsome! The girl covered her heart and screamed in surprise, and then without saying a word, she immediately rushed towards the bookshelf, and before everyone could react, she held several books in her hand and ran to Gu Cheng excitedly: "This, this is all yours." You have to sign it! ”

"Huh! Good. Gu Cheng smiled dumbly, this girl reacted quite quickly. The fountain pen in his hand flew and danced, and the word Gu Cheng jumped on the paper, and after a few brushes, the heavy pile of books was signed.

The girl's face was flushed, tears of excitement were about to overflow, she thanked her again and again, and reluctantly retreated and left.

During this time, there are people sitting on the floor browsing and people preparing to buy books. They all noticed the change here, and heard that there was an author who came to sign and sell books, and all the curious onlookers came over, and under the auspices of the staff, a dividing line separated the real book buyers from the lively ones, and Gu Cheng slipped in front of the table with a long snake procession.

There is no need to make any promotional notices in advance, just put up a signboard at the entrance of the first floor of Huaguo Bookstore, and you can let thousands of customers know about it. If you have a heart, you will naturally come to the third floor.

"Don't worry, everyone, everyone will have it." Gu Cheng signed two books, and when he saw that there was some chaos in the back, he got up and said. And his words are really better than the people in the bookstore. The group of people suddenly calmed down.

Young boys, young men, young men, young women, men. Except for some little children and people over seventy or eighty, Gu Cheng's readership can be said to have a very large audience, with at least one copy of "Da Ming" in his hands, and along the narrow aisles between the tall bookshelves, the slender and long flow of people extends rapidly.

Behind Gu Cheng was a white wall, in front of him was a small open space, above his head were bright headlights, and around him were rows of bookshelves, which were high and greatly obscured people's vision. Overall, the bookstore is clean and quiet. But in front of him, there was a different hustle and bustle.

Since the sight disappeared when he reached a corner, Gu Cheng couldn't know how many book fans there were. He just smiled and kept drawing in his hand, fortunately he had eaten early lunch, otherwise he would have been hungry.

In a flash, more than two hours passed, and during this period, Gu Cheng signed hundreds of books, and it was rare to feel soreness in his wrists. Finally, the team finally came to an end, and he signed the last one. He let out a long breath and said to the attendant sent by the magazine company next to him: "Signing and selling books turned out to be a manual job, I was so tired that my hands hurt." ”

"I'll pinch it for you." The little follower is a girl with eyes, and she has a quiet general appearance, and it is natural to say this. Gu Cheng couldn't refuse, so he stretched out his arm and put it on the table.

The girl with glasses rubbed it and said, "Gu Cheng, you can be regarded as the hottest book selling scene I have ever seen." None of them are as good as you. ”

Naturally, they are referring to several other novel publishers. Gu Cheng was slightly interested: "Really?" What is the situation with them? Hey, comfortable. Have you studied massage? ”

"No, I practiced blindly. Often accompany the author out. The glasses girl continued: "They, basically, the readers don't line up, they come scattered, and there are 500 copies in a day." It's only noon now, and you have signed an estimated three or four hundred, and it is estimated that it will break through one thousand in a day! As a veteran expatriate, she knows this well.

"I'm coming again!" Gu Cheng was dumbfounded, he thought that these were all there was to be, but he thought that there would be more book lovers. That's right, it's only one o'clock in the afternoon.

With a bitter face, I was massaged for a while. Gu Cheng's second wave of book fans have all arrived.

These people, almost all of them are young men and women in their twenties, one by one they looked at the trendy, and when they came, they chatted with each other and took the book, walked straight to Gu Cheng, and after signing a few copies, Gu Cheng was a little strange, so he asked the girl in front of him: "Do you all know each other?" ”

"yes." The girl replied: "We are both from Shanghai University of Economics and Business, and I just received a call from my classmates, saying that you are signing and selling books here for activities, so I hurriedly took the subway over." ”

"Oh! Thank you very much for your support. Gu Cheng suddenly realized that it was a mobile phone contact. Sure enough, if you ask the others, they are all students from nearby universities, and I don't know who spread the news, and as soon as it spread, Gu Cheng's potential book fans took the initiative to gather.

Time is passing, and the security guards on the first floor of Huaguo Bookstore are becoming more and more confused. Just because, as soon as many people entered the door, they asked, "Where is the author of the novel "Da Ming"?" "That's the question.

Even if he didn't know it the first time, he remembered it the second time after looking at the billboard in front of the door. Many people don't pay attention to the various advertising spaces in front of the door, so as soon as they enter, they grab the first person they meet and ask.

After a while, I will also buy a book to see what kind of book it is that can make so many people coax. The security guard, who doesn't like to read much, decided in his heart.

"Hello, do you know where the author of "Da Ming" is?" As he pondered, a polite voice sounded.

"Please go up to the third floor, where a group of people are around." Even if he didn't go up, the security guard could still come up with a hot scene, and he repeated the words mechanically.

"Okay, thanks." The woman thanked her slightly, and then Shi Shiran left the security guard and walked upstairs. And the security guard only reacted at this time,, it's so beautiful!

Zhen Xue took steps and stepped on the automatic elevator to get on and off. As her gaze widened, her face showed a look of surprise. This is?

In Zhen Xue's eyes, an orderly long dragon had already appeared, lined up around the bookshelves.

"Excuse me, what are you doing here?" Zhen Xue went up to the second floor and immediately asked the last person in the team.

The man was a young man in his twenties, who was looking forward, not aware of the voice behind him, and turned his head to find that it was a beautiful woman, his face was red, and he pointed to his nose: "Do you ask me?" ”

"That's right. What are you all doing? Zhen Xue repeated.

"This one!" The young man relaxed: "Buy "Da Ming", you see, just the book in my hand, the author Gu Cheng signed it on the third floor." I'm late, and that's it! What a good handwriting! ”

No way! Zhen Xue exclaimed in her heart, her mouth open, and she didn't know what to say. Gu Cheng, this guy, the signature of the novel actually makes people queue up more than one floor. How many book lovers do you have to do this?

Hurriedly walked to the third floor, Zhen Xue secretly cheered, don't be afraid, Xiaoxue, your books are not bad, you can't be so discouraged!

went up to the third floor and saw the unbelievable grand occasion, Zhen Xue felt that the strength she had finally mustered was suddenly discharged.

On the third floor, the entire floor, and all the bookshelves were full of people, and next to them were security guards and staff who were urgently involved in maintaining order, not to mention no less than three to five hundred people were queuing up for signatures.

Gasping for air, Zhen Xue admired Gu Cheng and threw herself to the ground.

When will I be able to have so many enthusiastic readers!

While exclaiming, he leaned in, causing a group of dissatisfied protests. Zhen Xue was unmoved, and finally arrived at the circle in the middle and saw Gu Cheng in the center of the crowd.

Just one glance, she felt that she would never forget. What a handsome boy! In the crowd, his smiling face was like the lights of the night, and he looked down and was very chic, not only did he not have the unruly arrogance of a teenager, but also did not have the breath of a pedantic bookworm, and he sat there naturally, as if he had nothing to do with this noisy scene. Zhen Xue couldn't help but be stupid.

And the suppressed excited cries of several girls around her also made her realize that she was not the only one who could see Gu Cheng's handsomeness. glanced at it casually, and some actually held the camera in their hands and took pictures of Gu Cheng. I think it's also meant to be a souvenir.

Gu Cheng was tired this day, the muscles of his face felt stiff, and he continued to sign until more than six o'clock in the evening, and all the "Da Ming" in the inventory of Huaguo Bookstore were sold, and the endless flow of people gradually dispersed.

"Snap" threw the pen on the table, Gu Cheng complained bitterly: "No, don't come tomorrow, otherwise you have to die of exhaustion!" ”

The glasses girl followed the busy day and was also very tired, but she was more happy and surprised in her heart.

"Gu Cheng, I didn't expect you to have such a big appeal, so many books in the bookstore, and all of them were sold out!"

"Huh!" Touching his head, Gu Cheng smiled bitterly: "Hey, what should I do in the future, signing everywhere like this will tire people to death." ”

At this time, the staff of another bookstore also took the initiative to come over and announce: "Mr. Gu, all your novels in this store have been completely sold out." Today alone, it is estimated that more than 3,000 copies were sold. We are urgently notifying the magazine to transfer the goods, and we will ensure that they are ready tomorrow. ”

"Ugh!" Gu Cheng was speechless, it's still tomorrow, and I'll lie down today!

"Pack up and go home and sleep." Gu Cheng stood up, stretched his waist and took a deep breath before saying. When I opened my eyes, I found that there was an extra girl in front of me.

The girl is about 20 years old, with long shawl hair, permed and slightly curly highlights dyed gold, a pebb-shaped face is very smart and beautiful, a pair of black-framed glasses on the bridge of the nose, adding a little bookish atmosphere, a solid color short-sleeved upper body, gray pants over the knee, and a pair of canvas casual shoes on the feet, very fashionable.

"Is there anything wrong with you?" Gu Cheng asked with a little surprise, seeing that the girl didn't have a book in her hand.

"Hello, my name is Zhen Xue. Be your book lover. Zhen Xue stood in front of Gu Cheng, looked at the boy who was younger than herself, and replied.

"Oh?" Gu Cheng was a little strange: "Thank you." Do I need a signature? ”

"No! I'm here to talk to you. Zhen Xue's eyes kept staring at Gu Cheng.

"Huh!" Gu Cheng didn't know how to answer.

Zhen Xue continued: "I'm also writing novels, although I don't have as good grades as you, but I believe that I will succeed in the future." ”

After listening, Gu Cheng smiled and encouraged: "Well, I wish you to work hard in the future and reap the fruits of success." ”

"Yes, I will." Zhen Xue nodded, without the slightest hesitation. She just stood in front of Gu Cheng, carefully observed Gu Cheng for a while, and then said goodbye: "Okay, Gu Cheng." I'm still a student at Shanghai University, and I have classes tomorrow. Good bye. ”

"Oh! Good bye. Gu Cheng waved his hand stupidly and watched the girl turn around and leave.

"What a strange book lover you are!" After the glasses girl waited for Zhen Xue to go away, she came over and said to Gu Cheng, "I shouldn't admire you!" ”

Gu Cheng sneered, he thought so too. Subsequently, he hastily cleaned up the scene, and then Gu Cheng took the car back to the magazine, and now his status has become higher, so he naturally lives in the guest room of the magazine, not to mention the beautiful environment, safety and convenience are more important.

Lying on the bed after washing, Gu Cheng thought about the name Zhen Xue, how could he have heard it somewhere? Zhen Xue, Zhen Xue. Until he fell asleep, he couldn't come up with a sign.

However, Gu Cheng, who got up the second day and brushed his teeth in the mirror, suddenly shouted: "I know!" ”

Zhen Xue, isn't it the pen name Snow Girl, the name Snow Girl can be regarded as thunderous in memory. The most dominant young writer in the literary world, after her debut, her novels are a big hit, and she is often on the annual list of writers, and the most rare thing is that almost every one of her novels has been adapted into film and television dramas, and one has also won awards at foreign film festivals!

Thinking of this, Gu Cheng suddenly realized, no wonder he felt that Zhen Xue's name was really familiar, no wonder her actions yesterday were strange. As we all know, the Snow Girl's surname is very arrogant, and ordinary people don't pay attention to it at all. At a young age, he earned a net worth of 10 million with his best-selling novels, and after becoming famous, he lived in his mansion every day and devoted himself to writing, ignoring foreign affairs.

Now, she should be in college, and next year, it will be time to release her first novel, and then she will stop studying and start her brilliant life path.

Thinking like this, Gu Cheng felt an inexplicable excitement and self-satisfaction in his heart. is different from the past, Zhen Xue can be said to be a character that he has paid attention to today, not to mention how talented he is, he is also beautiful, and there are no scandals, so he can be said to be the most suitable public lover. Gu Cheng recalled Zhen Xue's expression last night, how could she be calm if she could make such a talented and proud woman pay attention!

On this day, I changed places, and I didn't have to go to Huaguo Bookstore anymore. On the way to Jiangcheng University to sign and sell books, Gu Cheng began to look forward to it, since Zhen Xue is so good, otherwise, he recruited her, knowing that it is a gold mine, if he turns a blind eye, God will punish him.

has been signing, although Gu Cheng smiled at a group of college students yelling, but he was looking forward to Zhen Xue's arrival again. After a few hours of thinking, I have already figured out a way.

It's better to start a book club by yourself and enter the world. Recruit a group of good authors, find a way to get the right to publish, and then it will be a round of hot sales!

Sure enough, it was not expected by Gu sincerity. At the end of the day, when the stall was closed, Zhen Xue came again as promised. This time, she had something in her hand.

"Gu Cheng, this is your "Da Ming", please sign it. Also, this is my manuscript, can you read it? Although Zhen Xue is confident, she has not succeeded after all, and she speaks a lot more kindly.

"Okay." Gu Cheng took the book and signed his name first, and then talked to Zhen Xue: "Zhen Xue, you sit down first!" ”

On the first page of a stack of manuscripts, the word 'Snow Girl' was impressive, and Gu Cheng's heart blossomed. Haha, Zhen Xue is the Snow Girl. After reading the first few pages, it was similar to what Gu Cheng remembered, it was her first published book.

"Yes, yes." Gu Cheng pretended to comment, then turned his head and asked Zhen Xue, "Do you have a mobile phone?" Leave a way to get in touch. ”

"Huh!? Good. Zhen Xue was overjoyed, but she didn't expect Gu Cheng to approve the work. She had previously submitted to several publishing houses in a row, but all of them were rejected. When the mood of disappointment was pervasive, I occasionally saw Gu Cheng's "Da Ming" and was moved by the magnificent scene, so I was very eager to get to know Gu Cheng.

After writing down the contact information, Gu Cheng smiled: "Zhen Xue, your book is very good." How could no one want it? ”

Of course, Gu Cheng knew the reason. It's just that the stuff is too advanced, and now publishers are worried that there will be no market. It wasn't until next year that a third-rate company made a sensation in China after its gambling publication. It also indirectly brought an end to the controversy over the shoot contest. Because, it turns out. It doesn't contradict anything else, a good writer can go to college.

"I, I don't know." Zhen Xue was pleasantly surprised to hear the idol's praise and replied confusedly.

"Ahem!" Gu Cheng thought for a moment worriedly: "That's it, I want to start a kind of company recently, you can join if you want." Not only can you publish your book, but you can also dig up other people. ”

"Really?" Although she was not interested in digging up other people, the first sentence still made Zhen Xue's eyes widen.

"Yes." Gu Cheng nodded affirmatively: "Anyway, you don't have to be anxious, go back and think about it, and contact me when you think about it." And then together we started a big cultural company. ”

The glasses girl next to her was anxious when she heard this, and she listened to what it meant. Do you want to break away from the shoots? It's not uncommon to see this kind of thing, but you shouldn't be in such a hurry. He also advised others not to be in a hurry. This girl, as well as Gu Cheng, have broken their brains. She muttered indignantly, determined to make a small report to the editor-in-chief when she returned.

After chatting for a while, Zhen Xue turned around and left.

Gu Cheng also started an intense and busy book signing and sales activity.

Within five days, all the major universities in Shanghai have been there. Then I took a plane directly, and the first stop was Kyoto, and Kyoto University was more, and it took me seven days to finish it all. Next, the major provincial capitals in the rich areas, according to the sales of novels, have all gone through them. On May 25, Gu Cheng finally ended the national book signing and sales and returned to the Shanghai Tender Sprout Magazine. He'll be on one last TV show and then he'll be able to go home.

On the evening of 26 July, a studio hall of the Shanghai Television Station was crowded, and at 8 o'clock in the evening, a weekly television talk show -- Talk. With the familiar voice of the host, it officially began.
