"What should I do if the system forces me to copy books ()" Find the latest chapter!
"3! 2! 1! 0!"
The uniform countdown sound echoed for a long time at the entrance of Zhiwentang Bookstore in Chinatown, New York.
Passers-by who don’t know the reason may look at the date very puzzled when they hear it, and then find that something is wrong, because today is neither the Christmas of the New Year in foreign countries, nor is it an important festival such as New Year’s Day or New Year in Huaguo.
Instead, hundreds of loyal Chinese fans from the local Chinatown are waiting for the release of Li Chungang's new book "Lord of the Rings"!
Although Li Chungang has been developing in China before this, it does not mean that his tentacles of momentum have not extended to foreign countries at all. You must know that with the increasing number of overseas Chinese and the unity of Chinese people, almost There are "Chinatowns" in major cities in most countries, and Chinatowns not only represent the impression of China in overseas countries, but also are places where overseas Chinese gather together to keep warm.
Some come to work abroad, and some emigrate overseas.
But let's return to their roots, being overseas doesn't mean they have completely cut off all ties in China!
With the upsurge of young people going abroad and the establishment of Longteng International Station, these Chinese living abroad can also receive the "influence" of online literature, and also know that "Zhi Chun Zhi Gang" has rapidly risen in China in the past two years great writer.
After a long night of sleepless nights, the Zhiwentang bookstore is brightly lit, and the black curtain covers the books as high as a hill. Except for the store owner and the staff who arrange them personally, everyone knows what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd.
This is the first time that Zhiwentang has held such an event. In order to attract overseas Chinese fans to come and buy books at midnight, the owner, Jiang Zhiwen, almost used all his skills.
There are ten copies of "Lord of the Rings" with Li Chungang's autograph hidden in this mountain of new books. Even the clerk can't tell which one it is, it's purely luck!
As for the way to get these ten autographed books——
It's purely thanks to the boss Jiang Zhiwen's surname Jiang, Jiang Qingyu's "Jiang"!
Anyone who understands it understands that Jiang Qingyu was the receptionist when Li Chungang and his party came to the headquarters of Random House at that time, and he entrusted a friend who is going back to China for these extremely rare and valuable ten autographed books I finally got it before it was officially put on the shelves, and gave it to my father as an event egg for the bookstore.
In China, there are more or less chances to get Li Chungang's autographed books, such as Weibo forwarding lottery draws, although the probability of winning is too metaphysical, not everyone is the chosen one, can stand out from the billions of people, Become a koi like no other.
For readers, it is easiest to get a book signing event signed by a certain author...I met Li Chungang, a mudslide writer who would rather spend time on code words than waste time on signing events, and I like him Readers and fans don't know if they are unlucky or lucky.
In detail, the last time he appeared at the signing site was the rare round of national reincarnation signings a year ago, and his footprints have traveled all over the major first- and second-tier cities in China.
And this Zhiwentang bookstore located in Chinatown, New York, the staff in the store can be said to be busy from morning to night. In order to avoid unexpected situations, the boss Jiang Zhiwen invited relatives and friends to help maintain order.
When the countdown ended and the huge black curtain was pulled down with the concerted efforts of the three staff members, the entire long-awaited crowd suddenly shouted and screamed in surprise!
In order to respond to the title of the book "The Lord of the Rings", the mountain of books was arranged in a huge "circle" like a ring, and for a more realistic effect, there was a special light on the top at this time. The dim and yellow lights reveal a hint of horror atmosphere.
"Damn it, how many books Boss Jiang has piled up!"
"Hahaha, there is a saying that the scene where so many books are displayed really looks like that,
Quite shocking. "
"It's not in vain. I drove hundreds of kilometers here. I haven't even been to the midnight premiere of my favorite movie. Today I actually stayed up late in line for a book."
"That buddy in front, how about turning your head to one side, let me take a picture!"
"6p6p6p!"
"Sell the book, I can't wait to read it!"
"I will pay double the price to buy the book with the autograph of the Great God Chun Gang, and friends who are interested can come to me."
"Double!? Labor and capital pay three times!"
"Isn't it just money, my mother paid five times, I want as many copies as I want!!!"
"..."
More than 200 to 300 readers at the scene and four or five local Chinese media reporters exclaimed in unison, and some even flew into the air with an unmanned aerial vehicle for live video recording.
In China, Manjinghua Publishing Company, Wensiquanyong Cultural Media, and Li Chungang did not hold new book launches. Unexpectedly, there would be ten books signed by the author in the Zhiwentang Bookstore in New York, USA.
When they saw the familiar cover, these fans screamed with excitement, as if it was the arrival of the New Year.
If you carefully observe the crowd of readers who lined up spontaneously, you will find that there are actually not a small number of people of other skin colors mixed in it. If there is no accident, these should be foreign readers that Li Chungang gained by accident.
As readers' enthusiasm soared, so did publishers' expectations.
A reader who had just paid for the book was very excited when interviewed by the reporter on the spot: "I saw the activity of this Zhiwentang bookstore forwarded by my friend on Twitter and learned that there will be ten copies of Chungang here. The Lord of the Rings autographed by the Great God, so I drove here specially from Washington. By the way, remember to stamp my face, I don’t want to be seen by my parents when I ran out in the middle of the night.”
Readers lined up one by one, and the first thing anyone did after getting the book was to turn the pages.
Several cashiers methodically scanned the barcode and recorded it in the computer, and then handed the book to the readers who had been thinking about it for a long time.
"Ahahahaha, I got the autograph book!!!"
At this time, a man in his thirties was so excited that he picked up the book and kissed the cover twice, and the whole person was about to jump for joy!
While jumping and jumping, he hugged the book tightly in his arms, for fear that someone would snatch it away, and he didn't even take his eyes off it when he showed it to the cashier to scan the barcode, for fear that someone would lose the book.
After paying in cash, Han Chun excitedly showed Li Chungang's signature on the front page of the "Lord of the Rings" in his hand under the lens of the camera, and then carefully held it in his hand.
The other fans around were stunned, envy and jealousy filled their minds!
"Oh, I want to sign a book too!"
"Why not me, I bought five copies in one go!"
"That guy is so lucky, he can touch a blind cat and a dead mouse."
"Dude, go buy a lottery ticket, maybe you'll win the lottery."
"No way? Damn, there is really a signed book! I thought Boss Jiang was joking."
"I'll pay ten times the price for your autographed book. How about buddy? Don't leave. There's no righteousness in business. Let's leave a contact information first!"
The appearance of the signed book made the atmosphere on the scene even more enthusiastic, and they were all looking forward to becoming the next lucky one.
