Chapter 304: Chu Mad's Signature
"Different worlds, similar encounters. ”
After Lin Yuan noticed these movements, he sighed with emotion.
On Earth, "The Mystery of Roger", as Grandma's famous work, is called by some as the most controversial work in the history of reasoning.
Perhaps because his fame is greater than when Grandma wrote "The Mystery of Roger", the controversy is a little smaller, but it can't completely avoid this situation.
Fortunately, the quality of "Roger's Mystery Case" is remarkable, and it is also relatively orthodox in the narrative.
After all, "The Mystery of Roger" is a benchmark work of the same genre, and it has indeed been imitated and never surpassed.
You must know that among the 100 classic mystery books selected by the American Mystery Writers Association, "Roger's Mystery Case" is the twelfth work.
Furthermore.
In the "East-West Reasoning BEST100" voted by the Neon Mystery Writers Association and various university mystery clubs, "Roger's Mystery Case" ranked fifth!
In this ranking, the first place is also Grandma's work, which is even more bullish, called "No One Survives".
When Lin Yuan customized it before, he was almost drooling when he was greedy, and the thief wanted to come to this ......
"Boss. ”
Jin Mu appeared and reported to Lin Yuan the current results of "Roger's Mystery Case".
This is the fifth day of the release of "The Mystery of Roger", and sales have accumulated to around 5.6 million copies.
However, judging from yesterday's sales figures, the growth rate has declined.
This is related to the characteristics of "Roger's Mystery Case", but as long as it is passed through the drama, the readability of this one will be directly reduced.
It's just that this is the age of the Internet, spoilers are everywhere, speech is free, and everyone can't be expected to consciously keep secrets.
"Sales are good, I don't know if it can break 10 million ...... at the end of the month"
Lin Yuan smiled from the bottom of his heart, this is the benefit of having more readers, let's all join the Blue Star Merger!
"It's hard to say. ”
Jin Mu said: "Contact me over there at Yinlan Library, I hope you can sign and sell books......
Signed books.
It's a great way to boost sales.
Lin Yuan was inconvenient to show his face, and was about to refuse, so Jin Mu preemptively said: "There is no need to show your face, we only sign fifty copies, get it done privately, and then let the Yinlan Book Library randomly deliver it to major bookstores and online channels." ”
"And this kind of operation?"
Lin Yuan was surprised, and immediately agreed, and even took the initiative to say, "Why don't we sign a hundred copies?"
"Not too much. ”
Jin Mu smiled: "After all, this is the boss's first time signing and selling books, and rare things are expensive, fifty copies are enough, just to make a publicity stunt." ”
"That's fine. ”
Lin Yuan nodded.
He said that he would do it, and on the same day, he took the fifty books sent by the Silver Blue Library and prepared to sign his name.
"Sign Chu crazy. ”
Jin Mu saw that Lin Yuan was about to put down the pen, and hurriedly reminded.
"Thanks for the reminder. ”
Lin Yuan almost signed his real name.
Kaneki reminded again: "Considering that other vests will encounter similar things in the future, it is recommended that your handwriting can be adjusted slightly. ”
"Handwriting?"
Lin Yuan was stunned, and then suddenly realized.
So he thought about it for a while, and Long Feifeng danced and wrote the word "Chu Mad".
Wild grass.
In case someone wants to envy the fish's signature in the future, Lin Yuan will write it in regular script.
As for the shadows, we'll talk about it then.
"The boss's words are really ......"
Jin Mu saw the word "Chu Madness" dancing with the dragon flying and phoenix dancing, and immediately lifted his forehead.
The word boss should not be called wild grass, it can only be regarded as sloppy.
That's right, Lin Yuan's words are not very good-looking.
It seems that the boss doesn't know a little bit about everything, and there are things he is not good at, Kaneki thought secretly.
If it weren't for the fact that he didn't want to deceive the reader, Jin Mu almost wanted to help Lin Yuan sign on his behalf.
Fifty books are signed with fifty names, which is only one hundred words, and it is easy.
After the signed book was sent back to Yinlan Library, the news was quickly announced:
Fifty copies of Chu Mad signed version of "Roger's Mystery Case" are randomly released!
In fact, it's still a little late, this plan to stimulate sales should have been proposed from the time it was first released, but when it was first released, the popularity was not as high as it is now......
Anyway, the Silver Blue Library just used this thing as a gimmick.
As a result, Yinlan Library obviously underestimated the fans' desire for Chu Mad to sign books.
On the day the message was released.
Yangcheng Time Book Company Headquarters.
A customer drove a van to the bookstore and bought a thousand copies of "The Mystery of Roger" in one go, and the bookstore staff began to help carry them.
Some passers-by couldn't help but watch.
At that time, a reporter happened to be passing by, and he was directly shocked when he saw this scene.
The reporter directly turned on the interview mode and asked with some astonishment:
"Why do you buy so much? You also own a bookstore? The bookstore is out of stock?"
"It's not. ”
The customer smiled and explained: "I'm a fan of Chu Mad and I've been chasing him since his first work, and this time I bought so many of Chu Mad new books to see if I could buy Chu Mad signed version of "The Mystery of Roger". ”
Burst!
Everyone around was dumbfounded.
This is the world of the rich?
In order to buy a signed book, order a thousand copies in one go!?
The reporter still understood the situation, and couldn't help but say: "As far as I know, there are only fifty signed books by Chu Mad, and according to the daily sales data, even if you buy a thousand copies, it is difficult to guarantee that you can buy Chu Mad's signed works......"
"Yes. ”
The customer nodded: "So I also posted a reward on the Internet today, if anyone buys Chu Mad's autograph book and is willing to change hands, I can buy it at a high price." ”
"It's going to cost a lot of money, is it worth it?"
The customer smiled casually: "A thousand copies of "Roger's Mystery" are less than 20,000 yuan, and the bookstore has given me a discount, if there is no signed version in this batch of books, I can give the book to friends or the like, or donate it so that more people can read this work." ”
Reporter: "......"
It's less than 20,000 yuan?
Is this human talk?
I'm afraid you don't know how difficult it is for ordinary people to earn 20,000 yuan......
The reporter also interviewed passers-by around and asked what they thought of the book "The Mystery of Roger".
This is a bookstore, customers love to read, and there are many people who have read "The Mystery of Roger", so everyone is happy to be interviewed.
"I'm a lover of reasoning, I like "The Mystery of Roger" very much, especially the ending, it's amazing! Because of this book, I have become a fan of Chu Mad , maybe it has something to do with the fact that I am a Chu person, and Chu Mad also has a Chu character in his name, which makes me feel very intimate. ”
"It's great, if I have the money, I'd love to get Chu Mad's autographed book too...... And then sold it to this dude. ”
"I haven't read The Mystery of Roger yet, but I came here today to buy this book because a lot of people around me recommended it. ”
"I'm also a fan of Chu Mad and I want to take the opportunity of the interview to say that "Roger's Mystery is great", it's not that the author is clever, this is a new method of reasoning creation, called narrative!"
"As a reader of Roger's Mystery, I just want to say that there's no reason to miss out on the groundbreaking work of narrative trickery. ”
"Understand this buddy who bought a thousand copies of "Roger's Mystery Case", because since Chu Mad debuted, he has never engaged in book signing and selling activities, so many people want to get Chu Mad's signature. ”
“......”
It's not just the time bookstore in Yangcheng.
With the news of Chu Mad signing books, there has been a large-scale purchase of books by a certain guest at the door of many bookstores and online ordering channels!
Obviously, they are all readers with better economic conditions and fanatical worship of Chu Mad readers.
Moreover, there are indeed some rich people on the Internet who have paid a lot of money to buy Chu Mad's signed version of "Roger's Mystery Case"!
As a result, after a lucky person bought the signed version of "Roger's Mystery Case", he sold it directly to a rich second generation and sold it for 5,000 yuan!
To know......
It's just a signature.
And because the content of "Roger's Mystery Case" is not long, the price is actually only fifteen yuan.
After the news report, many netizens were dumbfounded.
"These local tyrants really don't take money seriously, and almost emptied the small bookstore for a celebrity's autograph. ”
"Five thousand yuan a signature, more expensive than what celebrities sell!"
"I have the autograph of a first-line singer at home, and no one buys it for 2,000 yuan......"
"I heard that a certain basketball superstar's signed jersey was sold for eight thousand, but it was the signature of the whole team to which the superstar belonged, and there was only one person in Chu Maan. ”
"Maybe it's because Chu Mad has never signed and sold books, so it's relatively rare. ”
"I decided to buy a copy of "Roger's Mystery Case", the same content, others spend 5,000 yuan, I only spend 15 yuan, rounding it up equals that I made 4,885 yuan!"
"I'd like to call you a math genius, buy him a hundred copies, and make a fortune directly!"
"Hahahaha, the math is all back to the physical education teacher, take out the calculator and calculate, in fact, you actually earned 4,985 yuan. ”
“......”
Netizens are talking lively, and with this round of heat, the statement of "narrative" has also begun to take root in the hearts of the people.
"Don't stop this reasoning is unreliable, people call it a ghost!"
"It's okay to narrate ghosts, it's a trick of trickery. ”
"Narrative trickery, very aptly described. ”
"So this is a narrative, I learned!"
"What kind of narrative, after reading this book, I was directly persuaded to retire by reasoning, I won't read reasoning in the future, I am completely crushed by IQ, Chu crazy old thief is a pit goods!"
“......”
This series of repercussions, Lin Yuan was stunned.
He began to seriously consider the possibility of selling signatures.
All right.
This idea was quickly dispelled by Lin Yuan, and he still understood the truth that scarcity is precious.
That is, now Lin Yuan's economic conditions are better.
Otherwise, Lin Yuan didn't care what he had, and what was rare was expensive.
And in this series of events, there was also a small episode that made Lin Yuan a little depressed-
Some netizens posted Chu Mad's signature, which caused many people to ridicule because of the sloppy handwriting.
In his comment area, the first hot comment turned out to be:
"Chu mad old thief, don't patronize the keyboard, practice calligraphy if you have nothing to do. ”
My own words are disgusted!
