Chapter Seventy-Two: I'll Be Sent a Blade
Although the signing session can be completed after all the book holders have signed up, generally speaking, as long as there are fans queuing up on the spot, the writer will continue to sign autographs.
It's just that book lovers who don't have a reservation won't get gifts and thank-you notes from the author.
As for how many people to sign, it depends on the writer's character and time.
Hideki Hanyu's character Eri Kitahara is clear, and the previous book signing was just busy until the bookstore got off work.
"Iijima-san, please contact the staff of the signing party and ask them to inform the fans and prepare their names in advance."
Hideki Hanyu explained to his assistant Michi Iijima.
Book lovers prepare their names in advance, so they don't need to ask them one by one when signing them, which will undoubtedly save a lot of time.
Glancing at the dragon-like team, Hanyu Hideki said helplessly, "There weren't so many people at the previous signing meeting. ”
"Hanyu-san didn't have the fame he has now, and besides, it was all housewives who came to join in the fun, but now there are a lot of young children."
Hearing Eiri Kitahara's words, Hideki Hanyu carefully looked at the team and found that it was really as Eri Kitahara said.
In the past, the book signing was basically dominated by those housewives who liked him, not so much for the work, but for the people who met him.
But most of the people in today's team are young people or children, looking at the "Magical Snack Shop 1: Dream Gummy Candy" in their hands, it is enough to prove that they are here for the work.
"Okay, it's useless to worry here, let's start quickly."
Hearing Eri Kitahara's words, Hideki Hanyu took a deep breath, pushed the door and got out of the car.
For today's book signing, he deliberately dressed up more plainly, hoping to behave closer to book lovers.
A simple T-shirt with jeans, a pair of canvas shoes under his feet, and a rustic black-framed flat mirror on the bridge of his nose to try to lower his appearance.
Helplessly, the conditions themselves are too good, the height of 1.8 meters is definitely outstanding among today's neon men, and the figure exercised by practicing dance all year round is difficult for ordinary people to have.
Whether it is height and appearance, or temperament and appearance, it is too conspicuous.
Therefore, even if he tried hard enough to suppress his personal image, he was quickly discovered by the book fans in line as soon as he got off the bus.
At first, it was a small-scale discussion, but it soon turned into a noise, and seeing that the book lovers had desperate plans to surround him, the staff responsible for maintaining order saw this and hurriedly escorted him upstairs.
Seeing that Hideki Hanyu disappeared, the excited fans finally calmed down and failed to cause any containment incident.
The person in charge of the Maruzen Bookstore finally sent Hanyu Hideki to the third floor, and immediately sighed.
"Hanyu-sensei, there has never been a book signing party before, and we still need to maintain order."
In fact, there is one sentence that the person in charge has not said later, that is, only when those idols sell photo albums, they need to make such a big battle.
However, considering Hideki Hanyu's previous experience as a failed idol, for fear of committing a taboo, the person in charge didn't dare to say it.
"Thank you."
Seeing that it should be for his own reasons that these people are tired enough, Hanyu Hideki hurriedly expressed his gratitude.
But after thanking him, he had an order to Iijima Sanchi next to him to buy drinks for all the staff on site.
Say it with your mouth, how to compare it to the actual expression, the drink is not expensive but the heart is important.
After the hectic start, his first signing session finally began.
"Thank you Matsushima-san for your support, please accept my gratitude."
After Hanyu helped a young lady sign her name, she personally presented a delicate paper bag with the logo of the Shogakukan printed on the outside.
Inside the paper bag, in addition to the colorful poster of "Magical Snack Shop" as a gift, there is also a thank you letter sealed with a fire paint seal.
When you hand over the gifts, you will also cooperate with the staff next to you to take pictures, and after the photos are washed, they will be mailed to the book lovers according to the reservation information.
This seemingly troublesome process has been considered smooth in the book signing, mainly because the reader's performance is relatively normal.
As for what is abnormal.
Some pulled him to ask about the meaning of the plot in the story, some took out multiple books for him to sign according to the regulations, and some took out his previous picture books for signature.
and I also want to be a writer, so I directly took the work to him to read, hoping that he could give his opinion on the spot.
There are even more excited female fans, who rush up to sign and don't want to, hugging him and not letting go, they only rely on the help of the staff to separate, but there are many such ones.
In short, there are many people at the book signing, and it is inevitable that you will encounter all kinds of strange book lovers.
But what surprised Hanyu the most was a book fan holding a weekly magazine "Children's Literature and Art" and asked him why he wanted to create such an annoying bear child.
Hideki Hanyu took a look and found that in the latest "Children's Literature and Art", his "Love, Go Home" was serialized for the first time.
Compared with the plot of the movie, the timeline and story length of the novel are undoubtedly broader.
At the beginning of the novel, Mikiko explained in detail how Mikiko and her boyfriend left their mother Keiko, and then had to take their son Masao home to find her mother because she was unemployed, hoping that her mother Keiko could help her take care of her son for a while.
Due to the limited number of words in the serial, the story only describes how Masao, as a child who grew up in Tokyo, hates life in the countryside, dislikes his grandmother who can't speak, has a rickety body, lives a poor life, and is close to blindness.
Zhengnan dislikes his grandmother for being dirty, and he doesn't allow his grandmother to touch him, and he doesn't even allow his grandmother to give her food.
In short, just in this opening story, the man who has not yet begun to be changed by family affection is a very disgusting pampered child.
It's no wonder that readers question him so much, after all, his previous works, whether they are picture books or magical dim sum shops, are healing stories, who would have thought that there would be such a nasty bear child in the new work.
However, Hideki Hanyu understands that this is only the beginning, and that this kid will only do more annoying things until the story progresses to the end when Masao changes.
Zhengnan's Nintendo Game&watch game console has no battery, and he asks his grandmother to buy him a battery, but where does his grandmother, who has been poor all her life, have money.
But the man who didn't understand his grandmother thought that his grandmother was stingy and didn't give him money, so he not only pushed his grandmother down when he was angry, but also kicked and smashed his grandmother's jar of things.
In order to retaliate, he also hid his grandmother's shoes, and his grandmother could only work barefoot carrying water, and even stole his grandmother's hairpin, wanting to sell it in a nearby town for money to buy game console batteries.
He wanted to eat McDonald's fried chicken, and his grandmother exchanged the vegetables he had worked so hard to grow for a chicken, and when he came back, it was pouring rain, and his grandmother, who had no umbrella, was drenched all the way by the rain.
I bought the chicken so hard, because my grandmother didn't know what fried chicken was, so she made stewed chicken for Zhengnan to eat.
But because Zhengnan didn't make fried chicken, he directly knocked over the stewed chicken that his grandmother had worked so hard to make.
My grandmother wanted to apologize because she couldn't speak, but she couldn't say anything.
And such an annoying story is estimated to be serialized for several issues.
But seeing that the first issue has only been serialized, there are already readers who have come to question in person, and it is estimated that if the serialization continues, the Elementary School Museum will receive the reader's blade.
Thinking of this, Hideki Hanyu immediately felt a little numb in his scalp, and it seemed that his signing session was not over at that time!
Will there be readers who will bring their blades directly to the book signing?
