No. 352: Signing Meeting

June 2.

It was drizzling in Yanjing, but the first floor of Greentown Building was overcrowded.

There is the largest bookstore in Yanjing, Xinhua Bookstore.

Now, Wang Anmin, the general manager of the bookstore, stood at the door nervously, looking at the flow of people several times more than usual, obviously a little uneasy.

"Today is Mr. Kong Fang's signing meeting, but don't go wrong......"

He paced anxiously - it was drizzling as soon as possible, and he felt that the security guards were available, so he didn't send them up.

But there were more people than he imagined!

It's too late to make temporary additions – any public security organ will file a record first and then deploy manpower.

The manpower was allocated yesterday, everyone is busy, where is the time to put out fires everywhere?

At this moment, as the gate of the mall opened, a stream of people rushed in, and most of them came straight to the bookstore with books in their hands!

"Quick! Hurriedly! Get ready to welcome! ”

"Don't go wrong today, a thousand bonuses per person!!"

Before the words fell, Zhao Ziluo's voice sounded from behind him: "What? Not enough people? ”

Wang Anmin smiled bitterly: "Who knew that there were so many people in the rain...... Teacher, please pay attention later, I have already contacted the police station to send another man. ”

Zhao Ziluo nodded.

The entire Xinhua Bookstore is renovated today.

The door is full of posters of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", "Teacher Kong Fang's "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" signing meeting and new work press conference will be officially held at 9 o'clock - 11 o'clock! The banner is hanging.

There are also posters of major human bodies made by bookstores on both sides. Many letters from book friends, message boards made of messages, and signature walls.

In the center is Zhao Ziluo's desk, chair, and next to a stack of books.

Shortly after I sat down, someone came over.

All the book lovers lined up in a regular manner, and the first book friend was a shy young man.

He excitedly handed over his book.

"Exquisite Ancient City?" Zhao Ziluo smiled and looked at the book in front of him. Sign your name.

"The next few are also very good, you can watch them when you have time."

"Look!! Bought them all! The young man was still a little apprehensive, but seeing that Zhao Ziluo was so approachable, he immediately came to talk.

"I chose this book because it led us into the world of ghost blowing lanterns!"

"This is the Enlightenment Book!"

He cherished the book to his chest: "Teacher, the book you wrote is really beautiful!! I started chasing it on the radio! It's amazing!! ”

Zhao Ziluo smiled: "Thank you for your like, there is a new book release ceremony at eleven o'clock, if you are interested, you can wait." ”

"Of course! Certain! ”

The exchange was short-lived.

But Zhao Ziluo had a different feeling.

It was warm.

It's not like a song, which makes music fans go crazy.

How do you say the exchange of books...... Well...... Give him a gentleman's friendship as light as water.

It's obviously very light, but after a short meeting, it has been said a thousand words.

It is more heartfelt than the contact of music.

Next, there was a girl.

"Teacher, I love your books so much!" She wore glasses and her face flushed slightly: "I like your song too!" ”

"Thank you."

At first, it was still full of interest, but it took an hour to go down. He already felt that his hands were not his own.

Keep thanking the readers, keep talking to the readers, even though each reader only has a few words - they also understand that the signing can be tiring, and even most readers don't expect an answer, and it's great to be able to send them away with a smile.

But Zhao Ziluo insisted that everyone exchange two sentences.

Because he also understands that some people come from other cities on purpose.

It is difficult to deliver this hospitality with just one signature.

So much so that later when some readers heard his hoarse voice, they asked him to stop talking, and they just expressed their gratitude.

But he still chose to say a few more words.

It's a mutual thank-you.

Readers thank him for bringing such wonderful work.

He thanked readers for enjoying the work so much.

Finally, the two-hour signing was completed.

No orgasm.

The whole process was peaceful.

But there is a warm peace in the middle.

When the signing ended at 11 o'clock, the bookstore immediately released an announcement: "Readers, this is the end of the signing of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern". ”

"After a short break, Mr. Kong Fang's new book launch will be held on time!"

Lounge area.

A young man sighed: "What a dedication." ”

The small rest area has become a temporary place for book lovers to communicate at the moment.

Although everyone is not familiar with it, when talking about the plot in the book, they are immediately familiar.

Hearing the young man's emotion, the woman next to him smiled: "Yes, when it came to me, the teacher's voice was dumb. I told him not to speak, but he was still talking to me. ”

"Didn't we come so far just to see the author of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" with our own eyes and talk to him in person?"

A teenager next to him said excitedly: "I'm looking forward to the teacher's new work!" ”

"I don't know what type? But I guess it's not a tomb robbery. But it has something to do with traditional Chinese studies! ”

"Oh? How so? ”

The young man smiled and said: "My grandfather has done cultural relics restoration, and he also watches ghosts blow out lanterns." ”

He said that the tomb robbery was almost written, and if he wrote it again, he would repeat it. And there is also a continuation of "Tomb Robbery Notes". ”

"So I guess, it's not tomb robbing. can't get out of the circle of Chinese studies. ”

Now, everyone is interested.

"I also think that Mr. Kong Fang is known as the father of national style songs, and I said before, how can I have such a wealth of knowledge?"

"But after watching the two-part tomb robbery series, I know how his Chinese culture background came about!"

"I agree with this classmate's statement, I think...... Maybe choose one line from the five lines of the mountain doctor's fate to write! ”

Another slightly older fan immediately retorted: "No, these are too formal, and there are many similar ones without dreams." ”

"I think, it should be Gu!"

"The three southwestern provinces are full of mysteries! Gu is the most talked-about color change, and it is also the most desirable! ”

The discussion was hot.

The readers, who were a little stranger just now, have all gathered at this moment.

It's completely different from Amway to your friends!

Readers who attended the book signing for the first time found themselves completely found the organization!

When it comes to a certain plot, everyone immediately understands it in seconds, and each has their own opinions!

Unconsciously, when Xinhua Bookstore notified that the book launch was about to begin, everyone was a little reluctant.

The crowd gathered in the bookstore again, and just when everyone was resting, the bookstore had already set up a simple stage, and the bookcases behind it were covered with black cloths.

What exactly is the book?

So mysterious?

All readers were curious and expectant, and in the midst of all the attention, Zhao Ziluo walked onto the stage with the microphone.

"I'm very happy to have you all here for my book signing and launch."

His voice was still hoarse, and he could only make a long story short: "I won't say anything superfluous, everyone should be very much looking forward to the type of new book." ”

"I can tell you that the new book is science fiction."

Science fiction?

Science fiction!

Readers were stunned, some were surprised, but many more frowned.

"Science fiction?" One reader frowned and muttered, "We were attracted to 'Ghost Blowing the Lantern'." ”

"That is, the ghost blowing the lamp is mysterious and Chinese culture. I don't like to watch sci-fi! ”

"Does it have to be such a big transformation? Even if it's writing Gu and writing horses, I really want to see it! ”

"The content of Huaguo has not been written, what kind of science fiction is written!"

Although everyone lowered their voices.

But there were hundreds of people at the scene, and the whispers suddenly turned into boiling.

Wang Anmin was anxious.

For the works released by Zhao Ziluo, he saw it first.

It can only be said that it is amazing!

But what he worries most is the mismatch between science fiction works and the type of readers of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern".

Sure enough, readers didn't buy it...... Xiao Li, go and ......"

However, before he could finish speaking, a reader couldn't help but raise his hand - this was very rude, but Zhao Ziluo still smiled and signaled.

The reader blushed, but the dissatisfaction in his heart was about to overflow.

After a pause, he still asked, "Teacher, why did you choose science fiction?" Wouldn't it be nice to write it down again? ”

"We were all guessing the type of your new book just now, and most of the book lovers guessed that it was Chinese studies."

"We don't like watching sci-fi at all! Are you a book lover who wants to completely abandon the ghost blowing the lamp? ”

Zhao Ziluo smiled and walked to the bookcase.

A curtain pulled.

Suddenly, a huge poster appeared!

"The prequel to "Ghost Blowing the Lantern"! Grandly released! ”

"Huangpizi Tomb, South China Sea Guiru, Nuqing Xiangxi, Wuxia Coffin Mountain."

"Take you to a different world of gold!"

it!!

All dissatisfaction is gone.

Every reader's eyes lit up!

"No...... Didn't you say that it's good science fiction? ”

The reader who just asked the question was so excited that his breath was a little heavy, and he couldn't take his eyes off any of the books.

Say okay sci-fi.

It's actually a prequel to "Ghost Blowing the Lantern"! And there are four in total!

It's so eye-catching!

"I'll just say, there are still so many puzzles in "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" that have not been solved! Hu Bayi's story of his father! The story of his youth! ”

"Now it's finally time to give us an explanation!"

As soon as the discussion sounded, Zhao Ziluo clapped his hands and pointed at it.

The audience then looked and realized......

All the "Ghost Blowing Lanterns" are like planets, surrounding the central bookcase.

That bookcase also has a huge poster.

It's a galaxy.

The four big characters of the central "The Wandering Earth" are extremely eye-catching!

"But what I'm most satisfied with is this sci-fi."

After a pause, some hoarse voices became solemn: "I know that everyone doesn't trust Huaguo science fiction. ”

"That's because there aren't many good works of science fiction in China."

"However, my book "The Wandering Earth" and the 'Universe Tetralogy' it represents...... I can guarantee that it is a rare masterpiece in the history of human science fiction! ”

Be quiet.

All readers looked at each other.

It's too much to say.

While they both enjoyed Kong Fang's books, they had a natural distrust of science fiction.

Wang Anmin hurriedly came up to play a round game: "Readers, in the next hour, our store will open the reading of 'The Wandering Earth' for free!" ”

"At the same time, the prequel to "Ghost Blows the Lantern" is half price! For one hour only! One set per person! ”

"During the reading period, the bookstore will serve free milk tea and lunch. I hope you all have a pleasant afternoon. ”

And this kind of good thing?

Now, the audience didn't refuse.

Just look at the face of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", and give "The Wandering Earth" a cheer.

Of course, it is impossible to buy.

Just take a look.

Then go home and shrink under the covers, and read "Ghost Blows the Lamp" every word!

No one saw it, and two readers didn't go in right away.

Instead, I picked up my phone and sent a text message.
