What Should I Do If the System Forces Me To Copy Books?

"Brother Hu, long time no see Yuanyuan!"

"Brother Hu, Sister Yun, long time no see!"

"Yuanyuan, Yunyun, long time no see!"

The three leading actors of "Sword Come" who came to the same room started the mode of greeting each other as soon as they met. After all, they are in the big dye vat of the entertainment industry. The purpose of the three of them gathering in Shanghai once was also very simple. It was nothing more than to take advantage of the overwhelming popularity of Li Chungang's recently released new book "The Lord of the Rings" to promote the TV series "The Sword Comes" they starred in.

Since there is a need for publicity, it is naturally impossible to allow Li Chungang to talk casually at the signing ceremony.

Therefore, the main actors of the entire "Sword Come" crew were called to Shanghai to attend the new book signing event that will be held later. Walking the red carpet is just a cutscene, and before entering the venue, the stars will be asked to sign posters to show their support.

It's just that they don't know that there are far more domestic celebrities who will come to the red carpet at the signing event than imagined! Not for anything else, just to be able to show his face in front of Li Chungang and get closer to the relationship. Maybe there will be even greater opportunities for cooperation in the future!

Originally, Thompson thought that a hundred or so people would be enough for this signing, but now it seems that there are at least five or six hundred people who arrived at the scene, and there are many people in the distance. Crowds gathered together to watch, and if you look carefully, you can see that support signs, support lights and other support props are placed at the feet of these small crowds gathered around the periphery. It must be the fans of some idol who received the wind in advance.

After all, some celebrities in the entertainment industry who happened to be in Shanghai just notified the organizer of the signing event about an hour or two in advance.

It is not easy to have fans come over.

How can I say that he is the protagonist of the signing event, so of course he has to be a little more formal in his attire. He tidied up his white shirt, and he can see from the mirror that he is full of youthfulness. Compared with the newly rising young idols in China Not to mention too much!

After getting enough of his narcissism, he walked out of the hotel gate, accompanied by the staff, to the signing area outside the red carpet where he was about to enter the venue.

And in front of him, there are actually a large number of star idols in. In addition to Jianlai's main protagonist, there are also some entertainment stars who have a good relationship with him. For example, Teacher Pan and Jin Chen, who starred in "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", did not know that the schedule just happened to be vacant. The two arrived at the venue together, and Jin Chen didn't mind showing off his pride while walking the red carpet. The figure and the deep V clothing make it impossible to hide the career line.

There are also singer Xu Jie who was lucky enough to sing two songs written by Li Chungang himself; several domestic popular Xiaohua who just signed artist contracts with Wanxing Entertainment, etc...

Of course, Li Chungang, who appeared as the finale,

He has never seen any of so many celebrities and entertainers. He just knows that there is such a link arranged by Lin Meng. He didn't ask specifically which celebrities will be there. When he gets to the huge "Lord of the Rings" poster In the front, you can see that densely packed signatures have been signed on the center of the poster, and some of the signatures are too artistic to recognize who they are.

Perhaps it was the different impact brought about by the mixture of different skin colors and races. Li Chungang, who entered the signing area, felt that these five or six hundred people gave people an aura comparable to thousands of troops.

Readers raised their mobile phones one after another and started taking pictures, and the media reporters at the scene did not forget that they were frantically clicking the shutter to take pictures.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t have a microphone, Li Chungang greeted the readers present in both Chinese and English in a spirited manner: “Hello, everyone, thank you for your willingness to sacrifice your precious time to participate in the signing of the new book "The Lord of the Rings". I hope everyone enjoys this work.”

He didn't spend too much time saying too many useless scenes, but after a simple opening statement, he found his own seat in the signing area and quickly sat down to start. If this doesn't improve the efficiency, the autograph meeting may last until the next minute. Maybe at night.

These readers were all very enthusiastic, some shouted Li Chungang's name in a straight voice, and some followed the crowd with a vague but extremely high-pitched foreign accent.

Unexpectedly, the first place was actually a middle-aged Caucasian man carrying a backpack. His bushy beard made it hard to tell his approximate age at a glance. He had already published with Man Jinghua at the nearby Random House. I paid at the counter temporarily opened by the company and got the book, otherwise I wouldn't be ranked first!

"I really like the book "The Lord of the Rings". I already have the English version. This time I'm thinking of buying a Chinese version for you to sign, and I've made up my mind. I will sign up for a Chinese class when I get home. , I will read your other works one by one later!"

The uncle looked very excited, and took a selfie with Li Chungang with his mobile phone while talking.

After Li Chungang signed his Chinese name, he raised his head and took a photo with this uncle. Although he doesn't like taking selfies, as long as the readers' demands at the signing event are not excessive, he will try his best to meet them, so that it will not be wasted. They waited hard.

In the winding queue, Jason sent the photos he just took back to the magazine with his mobile phone. This is the benefit of more and more developed communication.

His "official business" has been completed, enough first-hand information has been submitted back to the magazine, and it's time to settle his "private business".

He hadn't queued up to get the autograph book yet, and the official Weibo accounts of the major media outlets in the country couldn't wait to publish the photos taken by the media reporters on the spot!

Anyone who is not disconnected from the Internet in the village knows that today is the time when Li Chungang holds the "Lord of the Rings" signing event in Shanghai. The sale was more grand than many press conferences, and there were far more stars and idols than expected. One after another, photos of the stars walking through the red carpet were posted on the Internet by media reporters.

It caused netizens to exclaim one after another——

It's just that I never expected that the first-hand information from Huaguo and others would be so explosive!

[On the afternoon of June 10th local time, Chinese writer Li Chungang presented his new book "The Lord of the Rings" at the signing event in Shanghai. Nearly a thousand readers from all over the world are eagerly waiting...]

Not only "Global Literary World", but other domestic and foreign media are also present!

Domestic reporters from Sina Literature, Sina Entertainment, Phoenix News, Tencent News and - Literature Channel all took pictures.

Even Sohu Fashion, Phoenix Fashion and other columns focused on Li Chungang's attire, picking up his shirt, pants, shoes, watch and hairstyle.

This is nothing more than applying the same method to a star to a writer!

And well-known foreign media such as the New York Times, Globe, and Paris Commune, which are old acquaintances, have reporters stationed in China to follow up and report on the scene.

What really feasted the eyes of these foreign friends was that the signing event this time was far more grand than they expected, and they also saw a lot of stars and idols in Huaguo, even from the perspective of foreigners, The celebrities and idols who appeared tonight are all handsome men and beautiful women, and these are valuable news content, especially in recent years, a thing called "Hua Guofeng" has become more and more popular overseas.

In order to compete for the Huaguo market, Hollywood big movies will invite well-known Huaguo movie stars to participate in the filming; various brands will also start to add a touch of "Huaguo" elements to their products.

At this time, it was already past five o'clock in the afternoon in Yanjing, and the General Administration of Press and Publication had already updated the accurate figures of all book sales in China at past three o'clock in the afternoon.

The sales volume on the day of the first sale on June 6 has already exploded around the world, and the sales record on the following 7th is also outstanding. Even on the third day of the release, Li Chungang's new book "The Lord of the Rings" has been sold in major cities across the country. The popularity of the book has not declined. On the contrary, with the rapid rise of word-of-mouth reviews on major websites, the number of readers who want to buy and find out has not decreased but increased.

In this way, everyone is very concerned about how many copies it can sell from the global attention of the press conference to the record highs in pre-sales and the three-day global bestseller.

Some statistical agencies have given an estimate of 1.36 billion copies, which is enough to rank seventh in the global book sales rankings!

You must know that the "Global Book Sales Ranking List" is not a static list, but a lifetime list that will continue to be counted as long as a published book continues to be sold. The books that can enter the top ten are all classic literary works that have been sold for more than 20 years. Only "Lord of the Rings" is the only commercially published work in the past ten years.

And as long as anyone with a discerning eye knows, the seventh place is far from the limit, and the gap from the sixth place is only less than eight figures, and there is a high probability that they will be able to rise one place tomorrow.

As for the daily list, weekly list, monthly list, and yearly list of best-selling books, no one cares anymore, because these lists have already lost the so-called suspense, and the champion can only be "Lord of the Rings"!

So how many copies were actually sold after three days of sales?

The most authoritative General Administration of Press and Publication gave the answer that a total of 870 million copies were sold in three days in China!

At the same time, it also gave a clear punishment notice to those bookstores in China that had pre-sale behavior.

Huaguo doesn't care about what happens abroad, and it doesn't matter, but this kind of behavior in China must not be allowed to go away.

When to go on sale is finally determined by the publisher after the declaration and the approval of the General Administration of Press and Publication. Obviously, these bookstores have exceeded this behavior.

Originally, this kind of "sneaking" happened from time to time. In the past, as long as it was not too outrageous or too influential, the General Administration of Press and Publication almost never issued a punishment. They just turned a blind eye and closed their eyes. , but this time the incident was a bit big, and the influence was astonishing. It wasn't just one or two companies. It was found that far more than 20 cities in China had carried out large-scale advance sales!

This is not counting some small bookstores that are a little bit remote and out of reach.

As a result, chain bookstore groups such as Xinhua Bookstore have become the targets of killing chickens and monkeys!

This number of sneak runs did not cause much disturbance, because everyone is paying attention to how many people there are on the first day of "Lord of the Rings", which is the most critical thing.

Even though they were punished, Xinhua Bookstore didn't take "Lord of the Rings" off the shelves. They just needed to sell more books to make up for the loss.

The news about Li Chungang did not stop all day today. When the leading actors of the "Sword Come" crew walked through the red carpet to enter the signing event in the evening, Li Chungang even took everyone from the crew to stand in a temporary Mutai officially announced to the outside world that the TV series "Sword Come" will meet the audience at 8:00 p.m. on Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV on June 26. I hope readers can support it!

"The amount of information today is a bit huge, and I feel that my brain is not enough!"

"First the new book, then the new drama. I look forward to the new drama that Chun Gang will participate in the screenwriting."

"I'm envious of that group of people. Not only can I see so many stars at the scene, but I can also get the autographed book of "Lord of the Rings"!"

"Awesome! Such a writer is a winner in life."

"Don't say anything, praise is enough."

"There are a lot of foreigners, and there are many foreign journalists looking at the photos of the scene. Is Li Chungang already so famous abroad?"

"The Lord of the Rings is strongly recommended! I really like this book, and I need patience to read it slowly."

Netizens are happy to hear such news, and wish they could have more news!

In the past, domestic netizens more or less doubted whether Li Chungang was also popular overseas, but that basically stayed on the webpage and discussion, and it was not as intuitive and clear as it is now.

Now that I see the photos and videos of the signing event, I know that what I said is true!

Li Chungang is as popular overseas as in China!

It seems that foreign readers are also discerning and not stupid enough.

In fact, as a topical person who stirred up the situation in the city, Li Chungang's words and deeds have attracted much attention!

Many entertainment company bosses and producers have set their sights on this high-yield and high-quality writer. Although they don't know the specific story of "The Lord of the Rings", the value of its adaptation has already been reflected.

"Immediately ask the evaluation department to conduct a value evaluation on the film adaptation of "The Lord of the Rings"!"

"Xiao Kai, you contact Wen Siquanyong's company, just ask if Mr. Lin is free in their company, and let everyone sit down and have a meal and talk about it."

"Help me book the earliest flight to Shanghai tomorrow, and also help me make an appointment with Mr. Lin of Wensiquanyong Company."

"..."

Regardless of whether the cooperation with Wen Siquanyong or Li Chungang can be successful, but from the current point of view, it is always right to establish a good relationship first. No matter how you look at it, Li Chungang is definitely a potential stock worthy of investment. That kind!

Li Chungang originally thought that the signing would end after 5 o'clock, but he didn't expect it to continue at 6 o'clock, mainly because after satisfying the signature requirements of the fans and readers on the scene, the follow-up promotion of the new drama "Sword Come" must also be satisfied Tell the media reporters, otherwise these uncrowned kings will not give you a good publicity.
