PS: A new week has begun, ask for recommendation votes, ask for collections, Xiaohu wants to be on the home list! In addition, please help vote for Sanjiang tickets, and I am very satisfied to be able to stay in the top three little foxes!
On this day, Chen Ping patronized and entertained those book friends who rushed to S City in advance, because the signing meeting of "Immortal Rebellion" will start at two o'clock in the afternoon tomorrow, so there is also a book that is relatively close to S City Readers have chosen to come to S City tomorrow morning, and Chen Ping alone has received hundreds of messages to come to S.
Back home, Chen Ping fell headlong on the bed.
The next day, Chen Ping set off from his home at noon and went directly to the Xinhua bookstore selected by the Southwest Publishing House.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, people began to enter the Xinhua bookstore, first in groups of three or five, and then into a queue outside the door to enter.
Chen Ping glanced at the people who came in and found that many of them were young people, most likely students. After these people came, they didn't wander around, they were in the area arranged by the staff, their eyes swept towards Chen Ping from time to time, and they bowed their heads and whispered.
Seeing Chen Ping's puzzled look on his face, Li Jing, who was standing beside Chen Ping, opened his mouth to explain: "These people are not here to buy books, they may be your book lovers, and they came here today just to see you." ”
Don't buy books? Just to see yourself?
Chen Ping was even more puzzled, is there such a person? Running so far just to look at yourself? In other words, do you have that much charm?
"Hehe, this is normal, for these people, we welcome them even more, their arrival not only sets off the success of our signing meeting, but more importantly, they bring popularity, but do not bring you heavy workload. You may not feel it now, but when the meeting starts, and you sign hundreds of books, you will find that these are just the onlookers who are the loveliest. ”
Chen Ping felt a little incredible, the first time he experienced this kind of thing, he definitely didn't know as much as Li Jing, since Li Jing said this, Chen Ping's mentality became normal.
"Have you ever been successful, how many books are sold in a signing?" Chen Ping is still more concerned about sales, after all, sales determine his own income.
Li Jing smiled mysteriously again, moved her body slightly, came to Chen Ping's side and said, "This kind of signing meeting is just for publicity and hype, don't expect the signing meeting to sell books." I've personally experienced that a writer held a book signing, and none of his fans came, or we temporarily hired a group of passers-by to prop up the field, and after the hype, the book sold very well. Seeing the shocked look on Chen Ping's face, Li Jing said again: "Don't believe it? If you don't believe me, you should pay more attention to this news in the future. Your book fans are still very good, the group that came yesterday will definitely come back today, plus those readers who don't buy books, the popularity effect has come out, and when the time comes, just take a few sets of photos, and wait for the sales data to be counted after the promotion. ”
The first time he heard about this kind of thing, Chen Ping was a little overwhelmed, and the scene of the beautiful haode signing and selling books in his heart was instantly shattered. I was stunned, and the time had come to 1:50.
There are ten minutes to officially start, and at this time, the people outside have not yet finished coming in, Chen Ping followed Li Jing's reminder to prepare for haode in advance, and there are already a lot of prepared haode "Immortal Rebellion" simplified version on the table.
In the past, there were several stacks of books on the table in front of the author, so that readers could line up and come one by one, and after signing, there would be a special staff responsible for collecting money to settle the readers' consumption. Yesterday, after seeing the enthusiasm of Chen Ping's book fans, Li Jing specially explained to the staff today and set up two tables at the entrance place, with "Immortal Rebellion" on the table. Let those readers who really buy the book get the book in advance, just wait in line and wait for it to be signed.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the signing officially began.
Southwest Publishing House arranged for Haode staff to start taking photos from multiple angles, first taking a group photo of the readers standing in the venue area, which can reflect the popularity of the mortal signing meeting. Then he waited for Chen Ping to take a picture when he signed, showing the serious look of a mortal. Then there is the interaction between mortals and readers, in order to meet some not too small requests of readers, on clothes, or in notebooks signed separately.
In short, as long as it is conducive to publicity and hype, all the footage is recorded.
As Li Jing said, just after signing more than a hundred books, Chen Ping felt that his wrists were sore and a little uncomfortable, but seeing that there were still dozens of readers holding "Immortal Rebellion" in the back, Chen Ping gritted his teeth and persevered.
During the period, there were readers who came in from the outside, all of whom were readers who had just arrived in S City, and these readers could be described as die-hard fans of mortals. Due to the continuous arrival of new readers in the middle, Chen Ping had no choice but to rest for a while, rubbing his sore wrists, Chen Ping really felt that those readers who stood aside and looked at him from time to time and chatted all the time were the most cute. By the time Chen Ping finished signing, it was already more than five o'clock in the afternoon.
The signing session did not end here, Li Jing is not a loss of experience, seeing so many mortal book fans coming, he was also secretly shocked in his heart, how can the popularity of an Internet writer be so high? But for the sake of profit, he had to improvise an event to satisfy those book lovers who supported mortals.
Zuihou for an hour, reserved for mortals and their book lovers, whether they buy books or not, can immediately get a chance to ask mortals questions.
Hearing that there is still such an opportunity, many fans rushed forward as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, clamoring to give him the microphone.
"Mortals are big, I want to ask, is there a second part of "Immortal Rebellion"? I want to bring Wang Ping back to life! ”
"There is no second part. Everyone has his own destiny, and as an author, you can't change it at will. ”
"Mortals are great, I heard that "The Best Family" is about to finish, I want to know who is Third Brother Lin with Zuihou? Will you take it all? ”
"This question, you will know if you look at it slowly, I believe it won't be too long."
"Mortals are great, I ......"
"Mortals are greatly ......"
Chen Ping was a little dizzy with all kinds of questions, and he could only tell the reader the answers in the most concise sentences.
"Mortal great, will you still change the genre in the next book? Other authors all choose a genre and stick to it, don't you keep changing the genre like this, aren't you afraid of the disgust of the fans of the Mortal League? After all, the Mortal League was established because of "Immortal Rebellion". "This is an older reader, and to say that he is older is just compared to the readers on the scene, and judging by his appearance, it is estimated that he is only twenty-eight or nineteen years old.
The questions he asked were sharp, which made Chen Ping stunned for a moment, but he still quickly gave an answer.
"I said before writing "The Best Family" that the results of "Immortal Rebellion" are really beyond my expectations, and now I don't have enough confidence to surpass "Immortal Rebellion", if I insist on continuing to write Xianxia novels, I am afraid that readers will compare the new book with "Immortal Rebellion", which will only outweigh the losses. As for changing the type, because mortals are still newcomers, newcomers shouldn't have so many scruples, and only after trying can they find their position. I'm just experimenting, finding my own type. I'm sure the book friends of the Mortal League will support me, because we are all mortals and we all make mistakes! ”
Chen Ping's words made the noisy atmosphere of the scene instantly become much quieter, and when the readers finished digesting Chen Ping's words, bursts of warm applause came.
"If a mortal is very good, a newcomer should have momentum, only after trying it will you know what you are suitable for, and support mortals to make great mistakes!"
"It seems that mortals can't be considered newcomers, right? Now the starting point is only if you can fight with the blood university, and the other platinum authors are still some distance away from the blood university! ”
"Mortals are great newcomers, but they are also great gods, and he is unique!"
