Chapter 907 Hot Midnight
“3,2,1,0!”
The neat countdown sounded at the door of Hanlinxuan Bookstore in Jiangcheng.
This is not to welcome the arrival of the New Year.
But hundreds of loyal fans are waiting for the launch of Zhang Chu's new book "The Lord of the Rings"!
At midnight, Hanlinxuan Bookstore is brightly lit, and black curtains cover books as high as a hill. Everyone knows what is placed underneath.
This is the first time Hanlinxuan has held such an event. In order to attract fans to come to buy books in the middle of the night, Zhang Bowen almost tried his best.
In this mountain of new books, there are fifty books signed by Zhang Chu, and even the clerk cannot tell which one it is. It depends purely on luck!
All die-hard fans know that Zhang Chu’s family runs a bookstore. When the author is too lazy to hold a signing meeting, the easiest way to get a signature book from Hanlinxuan.
As for the reposting of the lottery on Weibo, it is too mysterious. Not everyone is the chosen son of God. He can stand out from hundreds of thousands of people and become a koi.
The staff of Hanlinxuan Bookstore were almost busy from morning to night, and the staff of the other branches also rushed over to help maintain order.
When the countdown ended, the three staff members worked together to pull the black curtain down, and the whole crowd suddenly let out a scream of surprise and scream!
The shocking book was placed into a huge "1", but one book fell off from it without being fixed, and was immediately picked up by the clerk and put it aside.
"Damn, how many books have you piled up!"
"Hahaha, the scene looks quite shocking."
"It's not in vain that I waited until midnight. My favorite movie was held in midnight. Today I was actually queuing up for a book."
"My buddy in front, can you please give it to your phone? Let me take a photo!"
"It's interesting."
"Sell books quickly, I can't wait to read it!"
"Oh my god, I thought there weren't many people. I just opened a free night in the Internet cafe. I thought I would go back and continue playing after I bought the books in the early morning. But it took me a long time to queue up."
"Do you all like Zhang Chu's books?"
More than 300 readers and 20 media reporters at the scene were marveling together, and some even used aircraft to record and live broadcasts. This scene was extremely grand!
Nanhai Publishing Company, Hanlin Culture Media, and Zhang Chu did not hold a new book launch conference himself. Unexpectedly, Hanlinxuan Bookstore in Jiangcheng, his hometown actually helped them hold a huge sales conference at midnight!
When they saw the familiar cover, the fans were so excited that they screamed, as if the New Year was coming.
At the front of the line was Wang Hui, a college student from Jiangdong University. He smiled and excitedly accepted an interview with a reporter from Jiangcheng Daily: "I really want to be the first to buy a book, so I came here. Although there will be classes tomorrow Monday, I plan to find a place to read this book first and then go back to school."
Regarding Zhang Chu's new work, a suspense title and content that was completely unrevealed aroused the curiosity of readers and also promoted everyone's enthusiasm for concern.
Nanhai Publishing Company printed three times before its release, and has now printed more than 2 million copies!
As readers' enthusiasm rises, publishers' expectations are getting higher and higher.
Another reader who had just scanned the QR code to pay on WeChat was also very excited when he was interviewed by reporters: "I wanted to buy the book before work, so I drove over here specifically and planned to read it during lunch break, but maybe I wouldn't be able to work with peace of mind. Remember to type a code for me, I don't want the boss to see it."
Readers lined up in a long queue. Although no one signed the sale here, the first thing they did when they got the book was to turn the pages.
Several cashiers orderly scanned the barcode and recorded it on the computer, and then handed the book to these readers who had been thinking about it for a long time.
"Ah hahahaha, I got the signature book!"
The man, who looked in his thirties, was so excited that he picked up the book and kissed it twice, and he was about to jump up!
He jumped and jumped, and he hugged the book tightly, for fear that someone would snatch it away, and even took it to the cashier to scan the barcode, for fear that someone would lose the bag.
After paying with cash, Han Chun excitedly showed the signature on his book under the camera lens, and then carefully held it in his hand.
The other fans around were shocked, envious and jealous in their minds!
"Aoao, I want a signature book too!"
"Why isn't it me? I bought three books without them!"
"That guy is so lucky, you can meet all of this."
"Brother, go and buy the lottery, maybe you will win the lottery."
"Awesome."
"This is the true fan."
"No way? Damn, I really have an autograph book!"
"You bought your book for 5,000 yuan. Do you sell it, brother? Don't leave, leave a contact information!"
The appearance of the signature book made the atmosphere even more lively, and they were all hoping that they could become the next lucky one.
There are dozens of signature books, and the probability of winning is definitely very high!
Xu Changrong was still unsure after reciting the Bodhisattva blessing in his mind. Then he quickly opened Weibo and earned several koi, white deer, two-color rainbow and four-leaf clover in succession. Yang Chaoyue let go after that.
He turned his head and said to his friend Zheng Lei: "This is crazy. I know that Zhang Chuda's new book is very popular, but I didn't expect that there were so many people in the middle of the night!"
Zheng Lei was also turning around koi at this moment. After hearing Xu Changrong's words, he said proudly: "Of course, this is the bookstore among Zhang Chuda. If Yan Da Hanlinxuan is willing to hold sales activities in the middle of the night, I think it can wake up the entire school, is there anyway?"
They walked slowly forward along the iron railing, but when they turned around, they found that the back was full of people.
There are obviously many people who have bought it, but there are still people coming here.
Xu Changrong looked at the pictures taken on his phone and continued, "It's rare to be crazy, even if he was recorded in a small notebook by the dormitory manager."
"I'm going to read all night tonight, and no one can stop me!"
"Did Li Meng reply in the WeChat group? Now I know that I regret calling my father. When we called him to come together, we pushed him and said that we would go to class tomorrow, and there would be no car at night, and we would be remembered. Now let's bring new books back. If we don't call him Dad ten times in the group, we will ignore him."
Zheng Lei looked at the reporters in front of him with a slightly scared expression. The school turned off the lights at 11 o'clock in the evening. If the news was released and the family saw that he was still out to buy books in the middle of the night, his parents would probably be so angry that they called to scold him.
He turned his head to look at his friend, no wonder this guy put on a mask early!
I thought it was a cold, but I didn’t expect it to be so treacherous!
When it was late at night, the street was in full swing, which made many passing drivers wonder, could it be that Apple released a new model?
In addition to Apple fans, who else would queue up in the middle of the night?
Taxis were also parked one by one on the side of the road waiting to solicit customers, and the drivers leaned outside the car door to light cigarettes and brag.
"This is a bit crazy, what's the point of buying this book!"
"Old Xu, don't underestimate Zhang Chu. No one of us has ever heard of his ghost blowing lights while on night shift!"
"This story is good, but it's just a little scary and a little short."
"Tsk tsk, these young people are really rich to burn. If my son comes here in the middle of the night to buy books, I will not beat him to death!"
At this time, a taxi driver suddenly threw the cigarette on the ground, then stomped it out with the soles of his shoes, and walked forward with great strides.
"Lao Xia, what are you doing?"
Chapter completed!
