Chapter 414: Why Don't You Take a Look First?
"Burt Publishers: Mr. ABC has learned about the recent Europa Writers' Prize and other things, and Mr. ABC has asked us to express our gratitude to our readers for their support of Mr. A and Mr. A's work.
In addition, Bert Publishing and Mr. ABC regret not being able to win this year's Europa Writers Prize, but respect the decision of the Europa Writers Award and the jury. ”
Bert Press made a seemingly standard announcement after Carol and Ji Zhuo ended chatting.
But it doesn't seem to be doing much.
For ABC readers, only the first half of the sentence was seen, and ABC thanked them for their actions.
As for the second half of the sentence, there is any respect for the Europa Writers Award judges, and the readers simply ignore it.
As a result, those loyal readers are even more motivated.
"Friends, I just want to know, what do these judges think, how can this award be awarded to this book "Ordinary and Great" at such a time?"
"Maybe their sponsor or foundation has run out of money, and they are going to cancel this award next year."
"I'm really disappointed that such an award has made such a bad decision at this time...... Even if he presented the award to "Kite", I would admit it. ”
"Above, ABC readers? What do you mean? What is the award to "Kite" is also recognized, it is to win the award, and it should be the "Kite" award, this is the fairy tale of the dog author! Do you understand? ”
"I still insist on saying to you that "Ordinary and Great" is a good work, you can scold this award, but please don't belittle this work......"
On the Internet, it is still lively.
Not long after, Delvin published a similar announcement to Burt Press.
The core content is that the author and the publisher thank the readers for their support.
The publisher does not support, does not oppose, regrets, and respects this matter.
Delvin and Bert reached a tacit understanding.
……
White Flag Country,
This is the home of El Press.
In the White Flag country, Al Publishing House has the most familiar channels.
But here, too, is the home base of ABC and dog author readers,
In addition to the territory of China, the territory of Great Britain may belong to the White Flag, and the ABC and dog authors have a large number of readers.
And among these huge number of readers, there are also many who are more excited and react more violently.
So
Outside of the network, in reality,
The situation that Al Publishing House is facing is much more intense than what Al said to Ji Zhuo.
“…… Al, editor Bennett just called and said he couldn't come to the publishing house for the time being. ”
"The editors who haven't come here later may not be able to come upstairs."
Al Press, Penny walks into the office and tells Al about the situation,
"Downstairs in our publishing house, the road was blocked by protesting readers, and I didn't arrive early, and the editors who arrived later couldn't squeeze in if they wanted to...... Don't dare to squeeze either. ”
"Well, give the editors who were bought later a holiday, and tell them that they don't have to go to work today, and the editors who have already gone to the publishing house will be paid double today."
Al stood up from his desk and walked to the office window,
"They, the readers who came to protest, didn't do anything?"
Not for the time being, they didn't do anything particularly excited, just gathered around the downstairs of the publishing house and sat in protest...... Of course, only for now. ”
"If you get emotional, and if you get stirred up a little more, it's hard to guarantee that these readers, who don't know if it's ABC or the dog author, will take a stone and smash through our glass."
Penny joked and smiled,
Al smiled as well.
Then through the office window, looking downstairs,
From the window, you can't see the whole picture downstairs, but you can still see the crowd of people downstairs.
As Penny said, the readers who came to protest sat downstairs on the ground and sat in silence to protest the 'shady' of the Europa Writers' Prize.
and 'Shameless' by Al Press,
But in addition, there are some passers-by, watching the lively passers-by, also gathered on the side of the road downstairs,
Of course, every now and then, new readers join in.
At this time, downstairs is densely packed with people, and a few media can be seen sporadically.
"Shall we let them sit in protest downstairs like this?"
Petunia asked as she looked downstairs from the window.
"They're also out of love for what they like, just like us. Well...... Just let them ......"
Al nodded and replied, but paused again,
"No...... Penny, you take some of "The Ordinary and the Great" and send them out for free. ”
"Send them 'Ordinary and Great'? Wouldn't they really take it and fall to the ground? ”
Penny couldn't help but say.
"They don't seem so excited for the time being."
Al replied with a smile, then retracted his smile and said seriously,
"Didn't they object to Mr. I's work winning the award, didn't they think that "Ordinary and Great" was shady, so they snatched the award that belonged to their favorite work?"
"Then let them see, look at 'Ordinary and Great'. I believe that every reader who has read "The Ordinary and the Great" will never have this kind of doubt again! ”
"Mr. I's work is enough to conquer these readers!"
"So, Penny, take some books down and show them to these people...... Forget it, I'll go down by myself. ”
Looking back at Penny again, Al spoke up again.
"Let's do it together."
Penny didn't hesitate, just said this to Al.
Al nodded.
The two of them each walked downstairs with some "Ordinary and Great" stored in the publishing house.
……
When they got downstairs to the publishing house, all the protesting readers on the street, and the eyes of passers-by turned to Al and Penny.
They all knew that these two people were from the publishing house upstairs.
Facing the gaze of these people, Al and Penny were still a little nervous,
After all, there are so many people, but if there is one excitement, Al and the two of them will have to be punched at this moment.
"You're all Mr. ABC, and the reader of 'Dog Authors', right, I'm Eyre, the editor-in-chief of Al Press."
Al took a breath and said to the protesting readers,
At this moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on Al and the two, and several media members next to them were already excited.
"I know that you are questioning the award of Mr. I's work "Ordinary and Great", and I understand your feelings, as if a favorite work has been tarnished."
"But your questioning also makes me feel like this, you are tarnishing the work I like. Yes, I'm talking about "The Ordinary and the Great". ”
"I just wondered if I could read this 'Ordinary and Great' before you questioned it like that, and I believe that its content will dispel your will."
Al said aloud, handing out some of the "Ordinary and Great" he was holding in his hand,
"Here are some 'Ordinary and Great' that I'm giving to you for free, so you can just here or take them home and read them. If you want to read it, please come and get it one by one. After all, there are more of you. ”
Al spoke aloud, and every movement of the readers who sat in protest,
But a passer-by next to him hesitated and walked up first.
"I'm a reader of The Ordinary and the Great, and I love this book...... I'm sorry I wasn't able to stand up and refute these books. I'll help you get these books out to these guys. ”
The passerby said to Al guiltily.
"It's fine."
Then, a few more passers-by approached.
These "Ordinary and Great" With the help of these passers-by, or rather readers of "Ordinary and Great",
It was sent to these readers who came to protest,
This group of readers did not vehemently object, and basically took the book, and after a few glances at each other, some readers opened "Ordinary and Great" one after another.
