Chapter 54: Leaderboard
Han Xiaoxiao plans to go to the bookstore.
She just smiled at Jiuquan, as for why she chose this screen name, Han Xiaoxiao couldn't say clearly.
She went to the bookstore to buy "84 Charing Cross Street".
She's already read the book on Tuitu.
However, in her opinion, this book as a favorite of book lovers, you must buy a paper book and read it carefully in your hand, some books can be read online again, but some books need to be read over and over again.
The book "84 Charing Cross Street" is.
Their company is in a prosperous place, belonging to the business center, there is an Internet celebrity bookstore nearby, the decoration style of the bookstore is great, with a strong literary atmosphere, Han Xiaoxiao came to read books from time to time, but she usually only reads books, does not buy books, and over time there is still a little weakness, not today, she can walk in today, because she wants to buy books.
The storefront of the bookstore is not large, but it is designed with three floors, and it can spiral up to three floors along the gentle slope, which is a very good design. When Han Xiaoxiao entered the bookstore, the hall on the first floor of the bookstore was signing books for sale, and the signboard was Yuan Fang, a backpacker writer who likes poetry and distance, and the content of the book is also full of some magical and touching people he met in poetry and distance.
Han Xiaoxiao used to like to read his books.
However, it's okay to read one of his books, and it's okay to read two or three, but it's not okay to read too much, the chicken soup is delicious, and it's boring to drink too much.
Of course, it's still good to change the taste once in a while, as a pastime.
Han Xiaoxiao saw that the queue was very long, so he dispelled the idea of buying a book and asking for an autograph.
She looked around for the hot sale of new books in front, and most of Yuan Fang's new books were placed on the table, almost accounting for more than half of the cabinets of the hot selling new books, and "84 Charing Cross Street" was in a corner, a total of three stacks, and some were sold.
Looks like it's selling well.
Of course, compared to a writer like Yuan Fang who has his own traffic, it is much worse.
There is a sign erected in the new book hot sale special session, on which is the "New Book Hot List of the Week", for readers who buy new books to learn about the latest hot new books, and Yuan Fang's "Far Away" is at the top of the list.
As for "84 Charing Cross Street", which has just been released, it is naturally not in tenth place.
Han Xiaoxiao was just about to get the book, and the first book on it was taken away by a little girl wearing a bow on her head, "Hey, I heard that this book is written for the Great Demon King, didn't you just say that the Great Demon King is super cool a few days ago!" ”
Her companion pulled her: "You can watch it on the Internet, you don't need to buy it." ”
The little girl with the bow asked her companion, "Have you read it on the Internet?" ”
The companion asked her to stop, pushing so much gossip, except for those who really like to read, who would read such a long article. She urged the bow girl, "The big devil is cool to sing." Let's go, Yuan Fang is signing and selling books, which is super commemorative. ”
She pulled the bow girl away.
The little girl with the bow put the book down again.
Han Xiaoxiao picked up the book and sighed that even if he was a big demon king, he would be slightly inferior in the away game. However, this book is good, and she believes that one day, this book for the Great Demon King will be on the new best-selling list.
"84 Charing Cross Street" At a time when the prospects in China were not bad, Robernie looked at the book in her hand and felt a deep sense of powerlessness. The book was published as promised after translation.
But!
It's interesting to say that an unnamed Oriental got his hands on these letterheads, and then compiled them into a book, recreating the legendary book relationship between an unknown writer in New York and a manager in London spanning more than 20 years.
This completely changed the author!
Luo Beni went to the publishing house, and the publishing house also said that not to mention that the book has the risk of plagiarism, even if it is pure fiction, a story between foreigners written by a Chinese, this will do more harm than good to "84 Charing Cross".
It's good now, and it's even more selling.
Originally, more than 20 years of biography have not met and become a confidant, which is enough to move people, and now the letters have been transferred to the East, so that a person from the East has sorted out and published them, not to mention the legend of the book, but also increased the authenticity.
This authenticity is enough to be a gimmick.
The editor, who was optimistic about the book at the beginning, even advised Robernie not to take it seriously, and some people made a ghost movie and deliberately said that it was taken down from the videotape. The author is an unknown author, and it happens to be called anonymous, it would be good if this book could be published, and when the book is a big seller, with an eye, the author's next book will have a name and profit.
Robernie knew that this was a good pie.
But what could she do?
Everywhere people are xenophobic, which is rooted in the inferiority of people, and will not change because of cultural knowledge, and even xenophobia and discrimination are an instinct of people's inner self-protection.
If this instinct disappears, either the person is a saint or not a person.
Luo Beni's biggest problem now is that she can't explain it to China.
What can she say, saying that you are an author, the book is not easy to sell, you become an organizer.
Does she know who got the copyright of this book from, and the Great Demon King cares about this little money?
She struggled for two days and could only talk to Susan on the phone first.
Susan had a headache when she heard this, "This is discrimination." Okay, I'll see Li Yu tomorrow. ”
It's night in the country now, and it's morning here in Robeni.
She hung up the phone, her heart fell for a while, and after sweeping away the book on the table that she didn't want to clean up, she made a milk oatmeal, and looked at her phone while eating, since the divorce, her life has been so sloppy.
As for the last time I was distracted.
Aside from reading the book "84 Charing Cross Street", she didn't get much out of it.
In other words, the book is very rewarding.
Under the influence of "No. 84", Robeni now likes to read books even more, and is no longer limited to work books, but has a wider range of subjects, which allows her to discover many wonderful worlds and put her heart at rest.
"Huh?"
Luo Beni suddenly swiped down the tweet that had been brushed up, and she saw a book review about "84 Charing Cross Street".
Just as she was about to take a closer look, the doorbell rang.
Robenie was stunned for a moment, then got up to open the door when she heard the doorbell ring again.
At the door stood her ex-husband.
The ex-husband said, "I'll take my salute." ”
He had some things that he hadn't completely moved away.
Robeni waved her hand and let her ex-husband in.
After the ex-husband entered, he almost tripped over the shoes that were lying under his feet, he stood up straight, looking at the mess in the apartment, and the smell of fermented food in the air, and the smell of aging in the air, he frowned: "You can't clean up the house!" ”
Luo Beni closed the door and replied lightly: "Hmm." ”
The ex-husband glanced at the milk on the table again, "I told you that this carton of milk is about to expire, and it has expired now." ”
"We're divorced! ”
The ex-husband was stunned for a moment, the air quieted down, he turned around and went to the bedroom, and soon came out with a suitcase, "I'm leaving." ”
"Hmm."
Robenie answered.
Bang!
The door closed.
The air was quiet again.
