Is Shingo going out? ”

"Well, I made an appointment to talk about things today."

"Hmm... So what should I do later? ”

Shigo Harano was stunned for a moment, indeed, what should Ai Fukuhara do after he leaves?

His mind floated, as if he remembered something, raised his head and looked at her and said, "What about Xiao Erlang?" ”

"Ahh Ai Fukuhara clapped her hands and exclaimed.

Then he brushed his hair, lowered his head slightly, and said with some embarrassment: "I put it in my grandfather's courtyard, and I forgot to bring it when we left in too much hurry." ”

The corners of Shingo Harano's mouth grinned.

"But don't worry, I'm usually very good to it, and I specially asked the maid aunt to take care of it, so I'll call grandma later." Ai Fukuhara scratched her head, pursed her lips, and said with some relief.

Shingo Harano didn't mean to blame her, that dog was also a good choice in Fukuoka, after all, they were big farmers there, so they wouldn't be short of a dog's food, maybe that guy still eats meat every day.

Xiao Erlang bit the beef in his mouth and was a little innocent: "Huh? Where am I? No matter what, let's go to bed after eating. ”

Shingo Harano was a little troubled.

He made an appointment with Inoue Ichiro today because today was his signing session.

A book signing is an event where a celebrity, writer, or some celebrity person signs autographs in public for supporters who have purchased their work.

The book signing can not only shorten the distance between writers and fans, but also a very important way to publicize.

To put it bluntly, it's the same as an idol meeting fans, but for idols, this thing is more appropriate, and for a writer, it's just icing on the cake.

However, the signing of some authors is really scary, such as a writer named Da Bing who he knew in his previous life.

This writer once went to Zhongzhou to hold a book signing, and the result was that he signed from nine o'clock in the morning to nine o'clock in the evening, and the hand seal and fingers were worn out with blood because of too many signatures, and he had to use gauze to bandage the wound, to be honest, it was really scary, but Yuan Ye Shingo felt that he shouldn't have so much influence...

Some people think that a book worth dozens of dollars can sell for hundreds of dollars if the writer signs it.

In fact, almost all the autographed books of contemporary writers have little effect on the value of the book, and at most it is better to sell.

If a signature is worth five yuan, it is estimated that the vast majority of writers will live in the printing house, printing one and signing one copy.

Generally, large bookstores sell a lot of authors' signed books, and every time I go there, I find a lot of authors' signed books, but not many people buy them, in fact, the main reason is that those writers are basically not very famous.

It's just that if you happen to want to buy the book, you may give priority to getting an autographed book, and very few people buy the book because they have an autograph.

However, although Shingo Harano won the Akutagawa Prize, he is not a very powerful person, and it is estimated that it is similar to those signed books in bookstores, and those who like it will pick up a signed book first.

A sudden ringing of his cell phone interrupted his thoughts.

"Hey, this is Shingo Wilderness."

"Harano-kun, I'm Inoue Ichiro."

"What's wrong with Inoue-kun?" He was a little puzzled, everything had been arranged, and he told himself in advance that he had also agreed, so why did he call again now.

The voice on the other side of the phone was a little impatient: "Yuanye-kun, we may be in a little trouble now." ”

"Trouble?" Shigo Harano glanced at Ai Fukuhara, and his heart sank, could it be that there was some sudden accident? But it should be okay to postpone it, after all, he is only a writer, and he has not had a bad impact on a pigeon signing party.

When Ai Fukuhara saw what he said, she understood that she should have encountered something at work, so she sat obediently and looked at him without making a sound.

Shingo Harano had a little apology on his face, but he was a little puzzled in his heart, how could there be trouble, but Inoue Ichiro said that it was a trouble, and he was sure that it was not a trivial matter, otherwise he would not have been so calm with his experience.

"Yes, we may be in a bit of trouble." Shingo Harano could clearly hear Ichiro Inoino's rapid gasps on the other side of the phone.

"What's the trouble?"

He had been mentally prepared, but still didn't understand what trouble a small signing could bring.

"Uh... That, Harano-kun, your signing party is a little bit..."

"Sort of?"

Why can you finish speaking, do you want to go home for the New Year every time you have to keep a tail, it's really infuriating, okay!

With a slight turn in his mind, Shingo Harano seemed to understand a little.

Listening to his tone, it seems that the number of people at his own signing meeting is a little... Few?

Yes, I just won an Akutagawa Award, and there may not be so many fans who have come from all over the country to meet him.

In this case, Inoue's meaning seems to be a little bit of not embarrassing himself, and he is afraid that he will be angry when he gets there and see few people.

After figuring out all the joints, Shigo Harano smiled, he didn't care how many book fans came to him to sign it, if there was, he originally thought that this was just a formality, after all, he was strictly speaking a rookie writer.

"It's... There are so many people that the outside of the bookstore is almost full now, and it has even begun to affect the traffic here! Ichiro Inoino's voice came from the phone.

“......”

I analyzed it rationally and confidently, and this immediately came to slap me in the face?

Are you mistaken? Can my book lover block the road and affect traffic? If you don't know, I'm afraid you think it's a big official who came out to march!

"Inoue-kun, this joke isn't funny." Shingo Harano said in a deep voice.

"How can I joke with you, I don't know what's going on, your information has been exposed on the Internet, and now I basically know that you are the author of the two light books of the Vietnam War and Bing Candy, the author of the famous light and the famous newcomer literature, the two different types of themes are so well written, and now the news about you on the Internet is about to explode!"

"My message? What information has leaked out? ”

When Shingo Harano heard the news, he didn't think of anything else, but other private information about himself, such as Ai Fukuhara's information and the like, whether it was exposed to the Internet by others.

Next, Inoue's words made Shingo Harano let go of the heart he had just mentioned.

"It's just that you're the author of these books, and nothing else, including age, home address, or anything like that."

That's good.,I'm a little panicked just now.,It's just that it's okay to leak these words.,After all, when I wrote lightly, I used a pen name instead of a real name.,Even if it leaks, what can it do.。

Isn't it a light writer who has turned into a traditional writer, and there are still few such people now?
