Chapter 59: Once Upon a Time on Earth!
Today.
In front of the largest bookstore in the Western Capital, there was a sea of people.
Outside the bookstore, there are more than a dozen giant posters.
Qi Yuan's full-body portrait stands in the middle of the picture.
There is a line of big words next to it: "Tang Yuan's new work "Three-Body Problem" has been released, that is, the signing will be in progress!" ”
That's right, today is led by Xingcheng Publishing House, and Qi Yuan's new book launch is held here, that is, the signing meeting!
After Tang Yuan's identity as Qi Yuan was exposed, the popularity of his books could no longer be described as an ordinary best-selling author.
Coupled with this new book, his purpose is to go for the Huaxing Award.
So, be sure to build momentum!
Build a lot of momentum!
So Qi Yuan and Xingcheng Publishing House hit it off, and today, when the new book was released, a book signing session was held in this bookstore in the Western Capital, and the most in-depth face-to-face communication was conducted with book fans who like Qi Yuan.
In front of the bookstore, dozens of media came, with long guns and short guns.
Now, the word Qi Yuan represents the heat!
And the sci-fi book on sale today is the first book to be released after Tang Yuan's identity was exposed.
Everyone's expectations have never been higher!
Outside the bookstore, it was crowded.
The host stood on the stage, held the microphone, and said loudly: "Welcome, thank you for coming to Tang Yuanda's book launch today, and now we have our guests." ”
"Sci-fi best-selling author Stone, everyone is welcome!"
"Ancient sayings best-selling author lychee soup, everyone is welcome!"
"Mr. Yao Changsheng, Vice President of the Chinese Writers Association, everyone is welcome!"
“……”
The host read the names of nearly 20 writers in one breath, all of whom were quite famous in the Chinese world.
Of course, Qi Yuan doesn't know these people, and he is full of calculations, that is, he knows one stone.
But under the leadership of Xingcheng Publishing House, everyone is willing to come to cheer for Qi Yuan, which is already very revealing.
And today's most heavyweight figure is naturally Yao Changsheng, the vice president of the Writers Association.
Xingcheng Publishing House didn't expect to contact Yao Changsheng, after all, he is the vice president of Huaguo's writers' association, and the nature of the writers' association in many places is still far from it.
He is the president of the National Writers Association and the boss of the National Writers Association!
Therefore, Xingcheng Publishing House actually contacted the local writers' association in Xidu for the first time.
However, Cai Zhenghua, the chairman of the Western Capital Writers Association, directly rejected the invitation of Xingcheng Publishing House.
The reason for the Western Capital Writers' Association is very simple, that is, the Western Capital Writers' Association will not stand on the platform for some inexplicable writers in society.
This is not in line with the consistent style of the Western Capital Writers' Association, and it is also not allowed by the policy.
Star City Publishing House got the news, and originally planned to inform Qi Yuan regrettably, that this time it did not invite the Writers' Association to help.
But who knew that Yao Changsheng threw an olive branch over there, and planned to come to cheer for Qi Yuan's new book in person!
Yao Changsheng really admires Qi Yuan very much, especially the book "Five Thousand Years of China", and he has repeatedly praised him in public without hesitation!
The fact that so many writers are here today is unprecedented in the history of China, especially in the history of the release of a new book by a single author.
The reporters present were all excited, frantically taking pictures and broadcasting live on the Internet.
"Xidu Media Express, Qi Yuan's new work is called "Three-Body Problem"! But what does the three-body problem mean, it is still unknown, this reporter is in front of you to bring you first-hand advice! ”
"Tang Yuan's new work fights science fiction again, and nearly 20 best-selling authors in China helped on the spot, and the scene is spectacular!"
Yao Changsheng, vice president of the Writers Association, came to the scene of Qi Yuan's new book launch and praised Qi Yuan, praising Qi Yuan as the most talented writer since entering a new millennium, there is no one!"
"The writer Shi Shi confessed to Qi Yuan on the spot, which caused continuous cheers on the scene!"
Western Capital Writers' Association.
Chairman Cai Zhenghua was still making tea, and his subordinates pushed open the door and rushed in.
"Brother Cai! Oh no, no! "Someone is in a hurry.
Cai Zhenghua frowned and said, "What are you doing frizzy?" You've spilled all my tea! ”
"No, leader! Handsome...... President Yao went to Qi Yuan's book launch! ”
"Yao, what President Yao?" Cai Zhenghua was stunned for a moment, and the teapot in his hand suddenly fell on the table, "You mean President Yao Changsheng?" ”
"That's right! He is at Qi Yuan's new book launch! ”
"Hurry up! Hurry up and drive! Let's go, let's go too! ”
Yao Changsheng, as the vice chairman of the Huaguo Writers Association, can be regarded as his top boss of Cai Zhenghua.
So, he had to hurry!
There are more Qi Yuan's fans who are also queuing up at the scene.
More than 50,000 people were present at the scene.
Security forces have mobilized thousands of people to maintain order.
Because there were too many people, tens of thousands of people were present, even if Qi Yuan was an immortal, it was impossible for everyone to sign it.
Therefore, it is stipulated on the spot that for every ten copies of "The Three-Body Problem" sold, there will be a random chance to get Qi Yuan's autograph on stage.
As a result, many fans of Qi Yuan, in order to get this opportunity, directly bought ten copies of "The Three-Body Problem", so that they could ensure that they would definitely be able to get that opportunity to sign autographs!
In the host's introduction, in the midst of everyone's cheers, Qi Yuan finally stood on the stage.
"Hello everyone, welcome to the launch of my new book, today, I am trying to get autographs for everyone standing on the stage, for this purpose, I have prepared a box of signature pens!"
Qi Yuan's side was really full of boxes of signature pens, and his words made the audience laugh.
Tang Yuan's signature, in the market, is very rare.
The full number of full calculations adds up to less than 10,000 copies.
When Qi Yuan released new books before, he signed them and sold them to his readers randomly.
Now that Tang Yuan's identity as Qi Yuan has been exposed, with the blessing of various factors, the price of Tang Yuan's autograph book has been speculated to four figures, or even five figures.
Therefore, if you can get a Qi Yuan's signature today, then the collection value will be extremely high!!
Therefore, countless Qi Yuan's book fans are very excited.
And since Qi Yuan's identity as a writer was exposed, Qi Yuan's fans and fans who are still frantically making up books are also here to join in the fun today!
At this time, tens of thousands of people at the scene suddenly began to chant Qi Yuan's name.
It's like a concert!
The scene is spectacular!
"I'm glad that this is Qi Yuan's book club!" Yao Changsheng sat under the parasol and communicated with several writers on the side, "His works are very positive, very powerful, in his words, very positive!" It's not surprising to me that such a person has such a scene! Even, I hope that there are more children who like Qi Yuan, only such high-quality idols will lead our teenagers to a better future! ”
Yao Changsheng's words can be regarded as high praise.
These words were heard by several media outlets who stood aside to interview other writers, and they were all shocked.
Unexpectedly, at the top of the Huaguo Writers Association, their evaluation of Qi Yuan is so high!
Qi Yuan waved his hand and signaled everyone to be quiet.
Now it's time for the media to interview them.
"Qi Yuan, may I ask, is your signature today Tang Yuan or Qi Yuan?"
Qi Yuan laughed and said, "Of course it's Tang Yuan, but if everyone wants me to write Qi Yuan's words, that's okay." ”
The book friends below answered loudly: "I want them all!" ”
"Qi Yuan, may I ask, does the name of the new book have any meaning?"
The book friends also nodded one after another, secretly saying that this reporter is good, and asked about the point.
Since everyone came here in the morning and saw the name, they were actually confused, and they couldn't understand what the three-body problem meant?
Of course, there are also some science fiction fans, when they see the word three-body problem, they already have a faint guess.
Qi Yuan replied, "The name...... Haha, I think many science fiction fans should have guessed that it comes from a very classic three-body problem in our astrophysics. That is, the problem of the law of motion of three celestial bodies that can be regarded as particles under the action of mutual gravity! ”
The reporter continued: "In other words, is this book a story about three planets that are attracted to each other?" ”
This reporter is quite professional and quickly thought of this problem.
Qi Yuan continued: "That's it...... If there were a civilization on the three planets that are attracted to each other and moving irregularly, what would such a civilization be? ”
Wow!
Hearing Qi Yuan's words, the book fans in the audience immediately became excited.
"This setting sounds very cool!"
"Mom! Loved, loved! ”
"Qi Yuan's new book must be super good, right?"
"I look at Tang Yuan's explanation of the old thief, that is to say, this "Three-Body Problem" looks very likely to be hard science fiction!"
"That's right! "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" is certainly good, but it is too soft, and for sci-fi fans like us, it is still hard sci-fi cool and comfortable to watch! ”
"Looking forward to "Three-Body Problem"!"
The reporters asked again: "How many words does this book have?" ”
"900,000 words, this book is divided into three parts, it can be regarded as a big length, I hope everyone will like it!"
"Wow, wow, wow! It's actually a super long sci-fi of 900,000 words!! ”
"It's comfortable! I...... I want to be the first person to finish watching "The Three-Body Problem" without eating or drinking! ”
"That's a lot of words! It's so comfortable, isn't it? ”
"! I'm not convinced! Why is writing reasoning, just a hundred thousand words and a book will send us away? Writing science fiction is so long! Are we reasoning fans unworthy? ”
"Is this book an alien story? Isn't it happening on Earth? ”
Soon, in the midst of everyone's discussions, today's signing event officially began!
Signing and selling books to everyone on the spot, this is Qi Yuan's first time.
And this is also a very physical work.
Qi Yuan sat on the chair, his head bowed, and the reader holding the book walked over with excitement.
The assistant Yu Caihong and the other two people took the book from the reader's hand, handed it to Qi Yuan, and opened it for Qi Yuan.
Qi Yuan drew his hand and signed the word Tang Yuan.
Then Qi Yuan raised his head and watched as the reader stretched out his left hand and shook hands with the other party.
With this set of processes, Qi Yuan will have to do it at least a thousand times today.
The reader who shook Qi Yuan's hand was so excited that he jumped off the stage.
Some were so excited that they forgot to take the signed book.
Some readers held gifts for Qi Yuan and sent them up, but they were all accepted by Yu Caihong one by one.
There are poor readers who say that they have a birthday today, and they hope that Qi Yuan will give them a special signature.
So Qi Yuan wrote a paragraph: I wish XX, happy birthday. Yumoto.
There are also those who want to hug Qi Yuan, the girls Qi Yuan are satisfied, and the boys are basically not satisfied.
Even female readers took advantage of Yu Caihong's inattention, and when Qi Yuan buried herself in signing her head, she rushed over directly and kissed Qi Yuan on the side face!
This is the signing party......
Very tired, but after seeing the strange people with excited faces and exchanging glances with them one by one, Qi Yuan only felt that his heart was full.
This is what it is like to be wrapped in love and be happy.
Many people posted Qi Yuan's autograph book on the Internet, and also broadcast the grand occasion of the scene live on Weibo.
"Ahhhh Seeing Qi Yuan's smile, I died! ”
"Mom! Qi Yuan was really polite, and shook hands with everyone! ”
"Hahaha! If I were on the scene, I would go straight into Qi Yuan's arms! ”
"Qi Yuan is too good-looking, right?"
"I'm so happy, the people on the scene are really happy!"
"Haha! Sisters, up to now, Qi Yuan has broken five pens! ”
"I feel sorry for me! You'll have to sign thousands of signatures! I'm afraid my hand is going to be broken! ”
"Mom! Where is the girl who kissed Qi Yuan at the scene? I won't kill you if you come out! ”
"What? Someone kissed Qi Yuan at the scene? Wouldn't it, wouldn't it? (Angry)"
"It's true! The pictures are all out! ”
"Mom! This girl looks so good, for a while, I don't even know if the sister made it or Qi Yuan lost! ”
"Don't look at it, the more you look at it, the more sour it becomes! I've already bought "The Three-Body Problem"! A full 900,000 words and three books, that's enough to read for a day, right? Ha ha! If you swipe Weibo for a while, just wait for me to spoil! Ha ha! ”
On the Internet, the hot searches related to Qi Yuan, four of the top ten appeared!
"Qi Yuan's new book "The Three-Body Problem" was released, and the signing will trigger a wave of readers!"
"Tang Yuan's new book "The Three-Body Problem", pointing to the Huaxing Award, can it surpass the status of "Divine Revelation" in the hearts of science fiction readers?"
Qi Yuan was kissed by female fans at the signing party, and the scene was chaotic for a while! His assistant is on increased alert! ”
"It is reported that the idea of Qi Yuan's new book "The Three-Body Problem" comes from the classic three-body problem, so what is the three-body problem?"
On the stage, Qi Yuan was still signing sales, and he was so tired that he was sweating profusely.
Offstage, the writers who were invited today have already got the book "The Three-Body Problem" for the first time.
Yao Changsheng turned the page of the book for the first time.
The first part of "The Three-Body Problem", "Once Upon a Time on Earth", came into view.
Yao Changsheng couldn't wait to start reading.
