Inside and outside the main store of a major bookstore chain in Tokyo's Shinjuku district, there was already a queue of readers waiting for Shingo Harano's autograph.

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 of the die-hard fans of Shingo Harano 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 session of Shingo Harano. Therefore, in the minds of worshippers, it is regarded as quite important and sacred.

Especially in the marketing of Whisper Press, it took their hard work to impress Shino's presence with sincerity, so as to repay the readers' long-term support for Whisper's 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 Shingo Harano in the future.

Moreover, they will of course promote Shingo Harano, who is less than 20 years old, not only to give readers a good image of being young and promising, handsome and good-looking, full of knowledge and connotation, but also emphasizing that he is the first island native and the first writer to win the Akutagawa Literature Award at the age of a weak crown.

So, the readers, who thought that they were the most loyal fans of Shingo Harano, were completely activated. 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 Shingo Harano.

In the same way, if you have a book in your hand that is autographed by Shingo Harano, then it is extremely face-saving and beautiful. In their minds, Shingo Harano is not only the first island nation to win the Nobel Prize in Literature, the highest award of international literary awards, but also becomes a world master writer like Balzac, and even the king of transcendence, Balzac.

At the same time, in addition to "Retrograde" and "Listen to the Wind", two physical books that have already been on the market and have sold more than one million copies in the island country, the third physical book "The Falling Sun" will also be released as a new book.

Through the advice of Inoue Ichiro, the person in charge of this signing party, to Shingo Harano, the most direct purpose of the second day was to choose Sunday, a rest day, for this most popular scene.

Therefore, it is bound to cause readers who like Shingo Harano to come to a big party, and it is also an opportunity for him to create a persona.

While waiting in line in an orderly manner, they chatted about Shingo Harano, whether they knew each other or didn't know each other, they all gathered together because they had a common hobby.

If someone can express a deeper and more unique opinion on any of the works of Shingo Harano, 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 those "retrograde factions" and "listening to the wind chanting faction" of the Harano Shingo online support group, in order to discuss which work is his representative work, he enthusiastically launched an "offensive and defensive battle" among the Harano Shingo fans.

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.

They rushed to the scene to witness the grand event, and they wanted to take a look at the great writer idol in their hearts, Shingo Harano. 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 around you like fans, clapping their hands rhythmically, shouting the name of Shingo Harano over and over again, but there is no such quiet and peaceful scene at all, as if welcoming the arrival of the emperor superstar.

And Inoue, 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.

He was not excited and excited in his heart, standing in front of the large floor-to-ceiling window in the large living room of Genno Shingo, pacing in place, holding the mobile phone in his right hand and putting it next to the ear on the same side, he was very worried: "Store manager Koizumi, if we cancel the signing meeting scheduled for today, let's reschedule it There are too many people here, I am afraid that it will cause the scene to get out of control and chaos, causing unnecessary accidents to Harano Shingo himself." ”

"Inoue-san, you must not do this. If you cancel the book signing, I'll have to be smashed by some fanatical readers outside, so you have to put yourself in our shoes. The general 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, holding the phone tightly with one hand and pressing heavily on the office desktop with the other.

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

"Inoue-san, 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.

Inoue Ichiro, who was not a little flustered, had a cold smile on his face, and said without concession: "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. ”

"Inoue-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 is neither willing to bear the blame nor accept the actual disadvantage.

His voice changed completely, and he quickly explained with sweat on his face.
