Chapter 133, the mysterious and lonely writer
On August 20th, Bantam Publishing House was finally going to sell a new book that had been promoted for four months.
Major print media released this news a week in advance and published in detail all the places where books will be sold. As the city where the Bantam Headquarters is located, the first floor of five bookstores in Manhattan alone will be vacated. People who are interested in counting all sales points across the country, and all were shocked to find that the high rental fee for the uniforms required for the new book sales this time can be equal to the full remuneration income of ordinary writers!
Which writer can receive such an honor?
Of course, he is the best-selling leader in the New York Times. Any writer who can put his works on it is not an extremely famous person in the circle. Even if he is only famous for a while, whether it is the printing and re-programming of literary works, or the invitation to speeches and interviews of writers of textbook works, it will definitely allow those people to enjoy unparalleled glory!
On this basis, if a person on the top of the list is his debut work, many overseas translations will be born in just a few months after his or her second work is grandly released, of course, it is worth enjoying this level of honor!
For a time, readers from all over the country were revived, and this interest was also diverse!
Almost no writer will attend her signing meeting, and almost no one will not print her avatar on the book, but this Alice King did it, and I don’t know how the bantam agreed. In addition, the director of the ghost record in the movie at the beginning of this year was the same name as her, and she had never appeared. This really makes the general public guess randomly. Just reading the various industry suspicions in those newspapers!
The director of the film club is the young girl?
Mysterious newcomer bestselling author and genius director of thriller movies?
A fantasy writer, a debut work that integrates thriller, science fiction and reality!
There are so many similar news that for several months, it has been no longer considered news, because the protagonist of the story has never explained anything in any public place. Many people remember that as early as March and April, many industry critics and competitors questioned the existence of King Alice in major newspapers and radio stations, questioned her identity, talent, and the authenticity of her works, and proudly made provocative speeches, waiting for Alice to appear.
Then, the embarrassing thing is that no one cares about it.
Although many people faced this result, they proudly announced that it was obviously Alice's guilty, so they did not dare to show up. It was not that no one believed this statement. In addition, they criticized the new star of the New York Times best-selling list in major media and newspaper industries.
Of course, as the "boss" of the writer, the official Bantam also came forward. They said that there is only one reason why Alice did not show up or refute these industry insiders.
This reason was made by Alice by the Bantam to officially convey to those critics.
"I don't have time to play squirt games with a group of envious, jealous and hateful people and a group of self-feeling good."
That's the general idea. Anyway, after this sentence is released, the entire industry is in trouble.
Countless ordinary writers who were insulted by major critics and competitors had no way to heaven and no way to go to the ground, suddenly devoured Alice as their role model, although everyone didn't even know what she looked like.
Those "industry people" who were criticized all jumped out and scolded Alice in various ways, such as how could she be so arrogant? Why can she be so arrogant? Is it really okay for you to be so arrogant? Do you believe it or not, our industry jointly ban you?
Of course, the dignified Bantam Book Company is the world's top publishing house. Of course, it will not be affected by a group of real trolls. After several months of silence, when major print media published Alice's new book and the bloody fairy tale ushered in the new book launch conference, book fans across the country were shocked again!
Although, it is still a pity that this is just a new book launch conference, not a new book signing conference, Alice still has no intention of showing up.
Harlipness, a New York University dropout, wanted to imitate Bill Gates to make a career without success, has been waiting for this day for a long time. When he first saw the news of the newspaper's new book sales day, he completely failed to sleep that night. The secret love between a little girl vampire and a bullied little boy is really interesting!
It was still the street in Manhattan, the familiar bookstore, as usual in the morning, Harry rarely went to bed early last night and got up just dawn today.
But even so, when he walked to the bookstore, he still found that there was a long queue at the entrance of the store.
"I bought this book for my son!"
In the team, a middle-aged woman in her forty years of age said to the people around her: "My son is twelve years old this year, and I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. My son, like the protagonist of this book, often receives bullying from his classmates. As a birthday gift to him, nothing is more appropriate than this novel!"
Another man wearing a cap frowned and said, "But this novel is not placed in the children's area, and the bantam also made a special statement saying that if the book is graded by the movie, it can be counted as 17. Isn't it appropriate to show it to your son?"
The woman glared at her eyes: "How could it be!? The protagonist of the book is just a pair of children. What terrible things can happen to them? Even if the girl is a vampire, she must be a kind and cute little girl. Why are she still 17 years old??"
Seeing the man in the cape argue with his father and daughter, Harry shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Ms., have you thought too simple about the problem?"
Who stipulates that the protagonist is a child and the plot must be beautiful?
As long as it is not like Romania, it is not an exaggeration to shoot underground movies that specialize in killing refugee children.
Bantams have specifically explained that if it is as simple as this lady said, are the editors of this publishing house fools?
Soon, when the bookstore door opened, a long queue of people came in outside. As early as last night, the first floor of the bookstore was redesigned by employees overnight. Looking around, almost all the display cabinets were placed on the same bookcase!
Of course, not all the display cabinets are really, but the seven or eight platforms near the entrance have completely become a world of blood fairy tales. The beige book cover, with the snowy back, a boy and a girl standing back to back, and with the pun meaning of the title "n", that beautiful style immediately attracted everyone.
"Oh sir, do you like watching such love stories too? This is your bag, please keep it."
"Wow, ma'am, you actually bought seven copies in one go!? Did you buy it for the children? Your home is so big, but ma'am, you don't believe in bantams? OK"
"Young man, are you looking for first love from novels? Hehe, what do you think of me?"
Amy is busy at the cashier. Today's customers are several times more than usual. Even for other new book launches, sales are probably not as terrifying as they are now. But this is also a very interesting job. Every time I meet a customer, it is a variety of encounters. Amy swept her bright blonde hair in her glasses, and her snow-white teeth smile flawlessly, which is simply amazing!
"Hi, hello."
But when she turned her head, the stage-show-like smile suddenly froze.
What a typical geek!
Shoulder-length hair is not impossible, messy can also be regarded as a postmodern artist style, but what is the white thing between the hair?
Dandruff, mom, you must tell me it is dandruff!
Fatty is not scary, what is scary is people who don’t like to wash their hair. This is the principle given to her virginity by Amy’s mother. Amy remembers it clearly and always regards it as an imperial edict.
It happened that the little fat man saw Amy chatting with every customer, and then he smiled and said, "Hey, Amy, are you also Alice's book fan?"
Amy blinked and looked at the fat man's expression of seeing the goddess in her dream, and she was crying without tears.
Why do bookstores ask every waiter to give up his name on his chest? To be continued.
