Chapter 21 Rise to fame
Being forced into the palace, Xiao Cheng was very unhappy, but there were tens of thousands of fans in the audience, and he couldn't lose his temper no matter what. Besides, this question is not easy to answer, and it cannot be answered.
You have to say go! Others will say that this guy forgets his righteousness when he sees profit, and a typical mother with milk. Say no! It is equivalent to self-defeat, and if you want to change jobs in the future, you will be turned out and slapped in the face today. The strangest thing is that Li Shan behind him didn't come out to help the round, which is a bit of a problem.
In a flash of thought, Xiao Cheng resorted to diplomatic rhetoric: "Today is the signing meeting of "The Legend of Wukong", so I will not answer the questions that have nothing to do with it, so as not to delay the signing meeting." ”
Xiao Cheng was a little proud in his heart, such an answer avoided the question, and at the same time secretly patted the fans' sycophants, the best of both worlds. Fans won't care what company the writer writes in, they'll only care if your work is well written.
However, he really underestimated the term journalist. The female reporter persevered: "Then Mr. Xiao Cheng means that he wants to go, but it's hard to say it now?" ”
I went, and I didn't dig your ancestral grave, what the hell are you going to do?
Xiao Cheng's face was a little unnatural, and said: "I'm very sorry, because the time for the signing meeting has come, and the weather is so hot, I can't let readers stand in the square and wait, and please don't misinterpret my words." ”
Xiao Cheng's words made the fans at the scene agree with it, and they don't want to think about it? Who is willing to bask in the sun in the square and tease you reporters, or sign a real autograph.
The fans in the audience immediately coaxed and suppressed the reporter's words. Fortunately, Li Yun came over to relieve the siege, and the matter finally came to an end.
The signing party was held in the lobby of Huaxia Bookstore, and fans lined up in a big line, began to buy books, and then came to Xiao Cheng to sign autographs, and the order was quite orderly.
Xiao Cheng asked the names of the fans one by one and wrote greetings. It was originally a very harmonious scene, but suddenly something went wrong again.
This time, it wasn't that someone was making trouble, but a fifteen or sixteen-year-old female fan, who was about to take over all the books as soon as she opened her mouth, and the staff of the bookstore were a little stupid. Because of the number of words, the price of "The Legend of Wukong" is not high, only 30 yuan a copy. But Huaxia Bookstore Yangcheng Main Store has prepared 200,000 copies today, which is 6 million?
The staff came down with sweat all over their heads, and the female fan waved the bank card in her hand and said, "What are you doing!" Hurry up, I still have to find Xiao Cheng to sign it! ”
The staff didn't know what to say and wouldn't let her buy it? Impossible! It's not that people don't pay. But if it is sold to her, will this signing meeting still be done? Local tyrants, I really can't afford to offend.
Li Yun, who was wandering around the scene, immediately discovered the situation, and as soon as he understood the situation, he also fainted. Never heard of anything like this? Have you ever seen a private place for dinner, an opera, or a movie, and a private room to buy a book? Today is a really long insight.
The female fan is still urging: "Hurry up, I flew all the way from the capital to support Xiao Cheng, why are you so procrastinating." ”
The fans in line at the back also began to make a fuss, not because they were dissatisfied, but because they were surprised and praised.
"Beauty, is there a lack of a bag? Here's a handsome guy. ”
"What a real gold tyrant! Beauty, Mo Da. ”
"The local tyrant is mighty, Xiao Cheng is mighty, and the big "Legend of Wukong" is mighty."
Buying a book and still encountering this kind of excitement? The fans were very excited, and many of them even stepped forward to greet the female fans.
Li Yun immediately discussed with Liu Rumeng and Li Shan, and the two looked at each other for a while, and finally Liu Rumeng smiled bitterly: "Let Xiao Cheng solve this matter!" What we say, people may not listen. ”
Xiao Cheng is still strange, why is there suddenly less signatures? When I heard Liu Rumeng's explanation, I couldn't cry or laugh in my heart. Xiao Cheng had no choice but to announce a ten-minute break and asked Liu Rumeng to find the female fan.
As soon as the female fan heard that Xiao Cheng was going to see her alone, she immediately screamed and followed Liu Rumeng excitedly.
In the lounge of Huaxia Bookstore, Xiao Cheng received the female fan, and as soon as the female fan saw Xiao Cheng, she immediately stepped forward and took Xiao Cheng's hand and said, "Xiao Cheng, I'm hiding and seeking, I'm so happy to see you." ”
Peekaboo? Xiao Cheng remembered that this was the first alliance leader of "Amorous Swordsman Ruthless Sword". He has too many things to do, he has no time to manage the forum, and he is usually responsible for the maintenance of Chenguang Chinese Network, but he still has an impression of the first alliance master.
After sitting down with peek-a-boo, Xiao Cheng asked, "Can you tell me what is your name?" ”
Peek-a-boo said, "My name is Ruan Tongtong. ”
"Listen to your accent, are you from Beijing? I'm going to the capital in a few days, why are you coming here now. ”
"Can't wait! As soon as I heard that you were going to hold a signing party, I wanted to come and meet you for the first time, I cried once I watched "The Legend of Wukong", I liked it so much, so I rushed to support you. ”
Xiao Cheng was also helpless in the face of such crazy fans, he smiled bitterly and said, "I thought you were here to smash the field." ”
Ruan Tongtong's eyes widened and said excitedly: "Why do you think so?" ”
Xiao Cheng patiently explained: "You want to! I held a book signing session on the first day today, and you bought all the books at once, how can I explain to the readers behind me? I know you're well-intentioned, but what I need to be a top writer is real recognition from my readers, and I need to know how many readers actually like to read my books. It's all about how many people buy my books, not how many they sell. ”
Ruan Tongtong opened her mouth wide and said aggrievedly: "I didn't mean to. ”
Of course, Xiao Cheng would not hit his fans, he smiled and comforted: "I know you didn't mean to, so I asked you to explain it to you, to be honest, I am truly satisfied to have readers like you." ”
Ruan Tongtong smiled at this time: "Really? ”
Xiao Cheng said seriously: "Of course it's true, and I plan to invite you to dinner at noon, thank you for your support to me, there is still more than an hour, you can rest here first." ”
Ruan Tongtong shouted excitedly, Xiao Cheng asked the staff to bring her a drink, and then came to the hall to continue signing.
After a full day of signings, Xiao Cheng's signing hand cramped. In the evening, a fan party was also held at the hotel, and some die-hard fans were invited to interact together. And at the initiative of Ruan Tongtong, the book club was officially established, and although it was tiring at the end of the day, the harvest was also huge.
It's not easy to be a celebrity!
Early the next morning, Liu Rumeng called to tell Xiao Cheng, and yesterday's sales statistics came out, and the sales volume of the top ten cities in the country reached 3.71 million copies, and "The Legend of Wukong" got off to a good start.
In newspapers and on the Internet, the news of "The Legend of Wukong" is overwhelming, and there are various versions of reports.
"Sixteen-year-old demon genius, Xiao Cheng, author of "The Legend of Wukong", the first day of sales of "The Legend of Wukong" reached 3.71 million copies, who said that online literature is rubbish?"
"The divine book "The Legend of Wukong", worthy of its name, yesterday's "Wukong Biography" was born, indicating that online literature will challenge the field of traditional literature and the publishing industry."
"At the on-site signing of "The Legend of Wukong", crazy fans bought books in a private room and were dissuaded by Xiao Cheng."
"A book becomes a god, and "The Legend of Wukong" detonates a major earthquake in online literature."
"Can Xiao Cheng, the author of "The Legend of Wukong", become a first-class writer with sales of more than 10 million in one fell swoop?"
There are positive reports, and of course there is no shortage of-stirring sticks.
"Sixteen-year-old Xiao Cheng, the author of "The Legend of Wukong", is he a genius or hype?"
Xiao Cheng, the author of "Wukong Biography", said that the possibility of joining the Zhongtian Chinese Network was not ruled out.
"Writer Xiao Cheng, only 16 years old, had a girlfriend, fell in love early, dropped out of school to write, and his behavior set a negative example for today's teenagers."
Cheng Yuntian, vice president of the National Authors Association, said that a writer not only needs literary accomplishment, but also needs integrity and noble personality.
