Chapter 302 Award Ceremony
In front of a food stall in Tsim Sha Tsui, two young men had just finished eating and were squatting at the door picking their teeth.
Looking at the cars passing by on the road, a young man in blue clothes suddenly said, "Ah Xing, let's watch "The Second World" again tonight."
Ah Xing glanced at his friend, curled his lips and said, "No, you've read it several times, and you still want to read it? It's up to you to see it yourself, I won't go there again."
"This is the last time. I read the news today that the box office will surpass "Jurassic Park". Let's work hard."
"Are you stupid? No matter how high the box office is, can they give you a dime? Besides, they say they will exceed it, and they will definitely surpass it in the next few days. It won't be short of our two votes."
"If everyone thinks like you do, how can the box office exceed the box office?"
"Even if you want to support, you don't necessarily have to ask people to go. You can buy a ticket and not go, or you can just give the ticket to someone else."
"But, I still want to see it."
"In just a few days, I watched a movie four or five times..." After muttering, Ah Xing patted his knees and stood up, then kicked his companion, "Let's go, I'll treat you to watch it tonight."
The companion stood up and said behind him with a smile, "Ah Xing, I knew you also liked this movie."
When Ah Xing and others went to the cinema, the box office of "Second World" had actually surpassed that of "Jurassic Park", with a box office of 65 million, leaving behind "God of Gamblers 2" which was released at the same time.
It's just that there was a delay in data statistics, so Ah Xing and the others didn't see it.
"Jurassic Park" is the first movie in Hong Kong with a box office of more than 60 million, and "The Second World" is the first movie in Hong Kong with a box office of more than 65 million.
If "Red Zone" hadn't been released strongly a few days ago and squeezed the film schedule, the box office of "The Second World" would have been even higher.
With the popularity of the "Second World" movie, the name Yu Dong has also entered the horizons of Hong Kong audiences.
Because the physical book of "Second World" has not yet entered Hong Kong, the locals only know that the original book of "Second World" was written by a Chinese, and the author is named Yu Dong. As for what the original version of this book is, Yu Dong
They had no idea what other books Dong had written.
People began to become curious about the author named Yu Dong, and people often went to major bookstores to ask if "The Second World" or other works by Yu Dong were on sale.
If there is demand, there will be supply.
Seeing that so many readers were interested in Dong's works, several major publishing houses in Xiangjiang mobilized at the same time to obtain the copyright of Yu Dong's works first.
In fact, publishers in Xiangjiang have inquired about the copyright of Yu Dong's works a long time ago. Although Xiangjiang does not have much exchanges with the mainland, the publishing industry is such a big circle. Most of the people in Xiangjiang know about any best-selling books in the mainland.
It's just that Jimmy kept suppressing it at that time.
The market in Xiangjiang was not big, and the other party also had a condescending attitude, unwilling to give high royalties or add an initial seal. Jimmy thought, rather than working hard and being thankless, it would be better to wait for a good opportunity before making a move.
And now, the time is right.
Representatives from several publishing houses arrived in Jinling, but neither Yu Dong nor Jimmy was seen. Only the remaining representatives of the company and Yu Dong met with them.
At the beginning, Yiliang told them that the royalties would be ten points and the first printing would be 20,000 copies.
Several representatives were overjoyed after hearing this. With the popularity of "Second World", this condition is not high. Deep Space Company is simply the conscience of the industry.
However, I later said something else: The one with the highest price will get it.
Only then did they understand that the price mentioned in the margin was not the final price, but the starting price. If they wanted to get the copyright, they had to increase the price.
I didn't want to play any tricks. I gathered representatives from several publishing houses and listed a series of Yu Dong's works for them to bid on.
"Everyone, there are a total of four works by Yu Dong here, namely "Second World", "Resident Evil", "Fatal Identity" and "The Last City". There are many more works by Mr. Yu Dong, but we have decided to just
Let me release these few books. Before everyone bids, I will introduce these books to you first, so as to prevent you from regretting because you don’t understand them.”
Afterwards, Yuliang told the publishing house representatives about the market performance of these books.
In fact, the publishing house had already done an investigation on these things before sending people here, and the information was very detailed. I also knew that they had done the investigation, but I still had to tell them in person, just to stimulate their enthusiasm for bidding.
The bidding process is very long, and it is not like holding up a sign and banging a hammer like in an auction house. Everyone is observing the opponent's reaction, and then adjusts the price accordingly.
I talked about four books for a whole day before it ended.
"The Second World" that received the most attention was acquired by Sanlian Bookstore, while the Commercial Press, which lost the battle for "The Second World", acquired the remaining three books in one fell swoop.
Seven publishing houses, large and small, were present, and the other five all left empty-handed, so naturally they were not in a good mood.
However, at this time, Yuliang said that the bidding was not over, and then took out several collections of short and medium stories, by He Hongwei, Wang Jingkang and Hu Changqing.
Sanlian and the Commercial Press had already obtained the treasure, so they were not very interested in these novel collections. The other companies did not want to return empty-handed, so they went to discuss with Yu Lili.
Because they don’t know the situation of these books, the subsequent discussions will take a long time. These publishers need to evaluate the market value of these books before making a decision.
But no matter what, the purpose of the margin has been achieved. At least five publishers are now reading these books.
Originally, the company was not in a hurry to push Wang Jingkang and others to Xiangjiang, but now that these publishing houses have arrived, they took advantage of the situation and pushed them all out.
…
The spring of the new year is very warm, so Yu Dong and Cheng Yanqiu returned to school four or five days in advance to check out the renovation of the house.
They left it for a month, but the decoration masters didn't take a few days off.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The house itself is not big, and the construction period is not long. When Yu Dong and others went to see the new house, most of it had been completed.
The work was done in batches, and each batch had a different master. The masters in this batch had never met Yu Dong and the others. They were surprised when they heard that Yu Dong and the others were the landlords.
"I thought the young man who came before was the landlord. He came to visit three times a day." A master said.
youth?
Yu Dong thought for a while and guessed that the young man mentioned by the master was either Yu Hua or Bi Feiyu.
"Yes, that young man didn't say much when he came. He just watched from the side. He stayed like this for half an hour."
A young master joked, "He looks very carefully, but we don't dare to be careless at all."
The old master next to him glared at him, "What nonsense are you talking about? Even if no one is watching, we won't be careless."
Later, Yu Dong went to ask, and it turned out to be Yu Hua.
"You are more worried than me. You go there three times a day, and people say you are keeping an eye on me seriously."
Yu Hua smiled and said, "It's mainly because I haven't seen it before and I want to take a look. Maybe I will write another novel about decoration workers in the future. I have some idea."
"Have you never seen the decoration?"
"I've never seen anything like this. Although the house hasn't been decorated yet, you can tell it's definitely very beautiful. I smell the paint they used, and it doesn't smell very good."
"It doesn't smell good?"
"You don't know that with my nose, the worse the paint is, the better it smells to me. On the contrary, the worse the paint is, the better the quality is."
"You smoke too much and your sense of smell is disturbed."
Yu Hua tilted his head and looked at Yu Dong, "Why are you arguing with Chen Hong that any health problem I have is always caused by smoking?"
"Isn't it?"
"Hey, I won't bullshit you. Did I tell you that "Alive" will start selling?"
Yu Dong smiled and said, "It's a good thing, haven't you been looking forward to it?"
"I have been hoping that it will be true," Yu Hua sighed, "but I have told me that I will do some interviews for me, and may even appear on TV in the future. I said this will help promote the novel."
"What's this?" Yu Dong shrugged.
"The main thing is that I have never been on TV and have little experience."
Yu Dong smiled and patted Yu Hua on the shoulder, "Comrade Yu Hua, some things are based on talent. Experience is not important."
After saying that, Yu Dong left. School was about to start, and he was still busy. He had no time to talk to Yu Hua.
When Yu Hua saw him leaving, he looked confused and said, "What do you mean by what you said? Don't leave. Let's discuss it. We can be companions on TV together."
Yu Dong ignored him at all and waved his hand behind his back.
…
At the beginning of the new semester, Qu Aiguo came to see Yu Dong. Their Gongmei 91 course was the last semester this year, and the courses had basically stopped. What they now have to face is work problems.
Although the package allocation will end next year, it is no longer package allocation, but a two-way selection. Business units come to the school to ask for people, and if they are willing to leave, they can leave, and if they are not willing to leave, they can wait and see.
Compared with other art majors, it is relatively easy to find a job in industrial art, but compared with those majors in science and engineering, it is far behind. There are not many companies looking for people, and the conditions are not that good.
However, the situation this year is more complicated. There are not many units that want people, and not many students are willing to go to those units, because many students are beginning to think about joining private companies or simply starting their own businesses.
Wang Kuo is one of the pioneers in starting a business. He comes from a very good family and his parents support him in starting a business. Moreover, he has not been willing to use the bonuses he received before. He has kept them until now as start-up capital.
Generally speaking, the students of this class of industrial arts have a broad vision and a lot of ideas. Perhaps influenced by Yu Dong, many students are thinking about developing into the film and television industry, and several of them, such as Li Huixiang, have already
I went to an advertising company for an internship.
Today's advertising companies are actually similar to the media companies of later generations. They are not just advertising, but cover a wide range of areas, including the film and television industry.
Qu Aiguo didn't come to Yu Dong for the work of his classmates. He wanted to discuss with Yu Dong the new president of the Science Fiction Association.
"Brother Dong, I am about to graduate. Do I need to choose a new president?"
"Who do you think is the right choice?"
"My personal opinion is that it is more appropriate for Huang Xiaohui to take over. He has also been the vice president for one year and has rich experience."
"But Huang Xiaohui is already a junior, and if he is asked to be the president now, he can only serve for one year. Do you mean that in the future, the president of the Science Fiction Association will only be one-year president?"
"But aren't all the organizations in the school like this? The student union, football team, and various associations basically last for one year, and some only last for half a year."
"I know, but your Science Fiction Association is different. It has grown so much that it is no longer just a school organization."
Qu Aiguo scratched his head and asked, "Brother Dong, what do you mean?"
Yu Dong asked, "Have you found a job by yourself?"
"Not yet, I'm looking for it."
Yu Dong nodded and took out a document from the drawer, "Look at this."
Qu Aiguo took the document with a puzzled look on his face. After looking at it for a while, he showed a surprised expression. This is an employment contract. Party A is the Jinling Academy of Art, a direct unit of the Cucumber Garden Science Fiction Association, and Party B is Qu Aiguo.
Before Qu Aiguo could ask, Yu Dong said, "Since you haven't found a job yet, you might as well consider this contract. The helmsman of the association changes every year, which is very detrimental to the development of the association. Since you have done a good job, you can
Keep working, the salary standards are written in it."
"But I study art..."
"I don't mean to force you to make a decision. You can take the contract back. I will give you a reply within three days. If you don't reply within three days, it will be regarded as your rejection. At that time, I will discuss with the principal the candidate for the new president."
When Yu Dong said this, Qu Aiguo didn't have any objections. He nodded and said, "Then I'll think about it seriously when I go back."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "That's right."
Qu Aiguo was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something, "Brother Dong, I have something to trouble you with. I have a friend who is a reporter and wants to give you an exclusive interview. I don't know if I can
?”
"Your friend?" Yu Dong looked at Qu Aiguo's secretive expression and asked, "What friend, boyfriend or girlfriend?"
"Girlfriend...female friend, you still know Ma Xiaohong, who came to interview you last time."
Yu Dong stared at Qu Aiguo with a half-smile but not a smile. He felt that something was wrong with this kid last time. It seemed that he had really taken a liking to him.
"I have already done an exclusive interview with their "Xinmin Evening News" once, so it would not be appropriate to do it again."
Qu Aiguo smiled cheekily and said, "How long has it been since the last time? Brother Dong, you are developing rapidly and have a lot of news. Their previous interviews are also out of date."
Yu Dong pointed at Qu Aiguo's smiling face, "Isn't this what you call pretending to be a public servant for personal gain?"
"Brother Dong, look what you said. I am talking to you now, not as the president of the Science Fiction Association, but as your brother. Although he is not a biological brother, he is better than a biological brother. You said that if I talk to Ma Xiaohong
That’s it, she is your sister-in-law. Is it okay to ask your sister-in-law to do an exclusive interview for you?”
The rogue spirit in Qu Aiguo came out again. He was obviously older than Yu Dong, but he was the first among the students to call Yu Dong "Brother Dong". But he had such an ability that even if he was acting rogue, he would not make people feel uncomfortable.
Bored.
"Okay, tell Ma Xiaohong and ask him to call me later, and I'll make an appointment with her."
"Okay, then I'll just roll away and won't disturb Brother Dong from your work."
In the evening of that day, Ma Xiaohong called. She probably didn't expect that Qu Aiguo could really get her the opportunity for an exclusive interview. She could tell that she was very excited when she made an appointment with Yu Dong.
Reporters follow the popularity of the news, and for a period of time there were fewer reporters visiting Jinyi. However, since "The Second World" became a hit at the box office, the number of reporters has increased, and it is better than before.
There will be many more waves.
There are more and more people, which makes Uncle Zhou very busy.
Considering that the school has more and more visitors, the pressure on the janitor has increased a lot, so now two more janitors are added to the class.
The other two are responsible for maintaining law and order at the gate, and Uncle Zhou is responsible for coordinating and receiving visitors.
Uncle Zhou is enthusiastic and good at chatting. Although he has not read many books, he is very knowledgeable and sometimes speaks quite well. He often chats alone among the group of reporters, talking about ancient ways and modern times, leaving others speechless.
Talk.
When others saw Uncle Zhou's posture, their hearts beat loudly, "Hey, my darling, this gold art is incredible, even the doormen are so powerful."
Ma Xiaohong arrived at the school on Friday afternoon. At this moment, many reporters were queuing up at the gate to register information. She watched for a while, then ran to Uncle Zhou and said, "Uncle, I'm here to see Teacher Yu Dongyu."
Uncle Zhou said oh, and then stared at Ma Xiaohong, waiting for her next words. Only then did Ma Xiaohong remember it, and quickly said: "Broccoli."
Hearing Broccoli, Uncle Zhou smiled, "Go in, do you know where Teacher Yu is?"
"I know, I know." Ma Xiaohong nodded.
After Ma Xiaohong was put in, a reporter came to Uncle Zhou with a puzzled look on his face, "Old sir, what does this broccoli mean? Why can she go in just by saying broccoli?"
Uncle Zhou looked at the other person up and down and said with a smile, "That person just now was a special reporter from our school. Broccoli is her code name."
Code name?
The question mark on the reporter's side is, this gold art is too weird. Do you need to give a code number when entering or leaving the door?
…
When Ma Xiaohong saw Yu Dong, she also looked confused, "Teacher Yu, what does broccoli mean? Why did the guard let me in when I said broccoli?"
Yu Dong smiled and explained, "This is the secret code created by Uncle Zhou. It is quite convenient to use."
Ma Xiaohong was surprised and said: "This guard has so many tricks."
"There are a lot of them. You will know more if you have more contact with them in the future." Yu Dong smiled and said, "I will take you to the conference room."
Following Yu Dong, Ma Xiaohong was still thinking about the doorman, thinking that maybe there would be a chance to interview Uncle Zhou later, and maybe she could get something interesting.
Ma Xiaohong is more proficient in her business than before, and she is more prepared. The interview went smoothly, and the questions were basically related to "Second World" and the upcoming "Resident Evil".
More than half an hour later, after all the listed questions were asked, Ma Xiaohong added another question temporarily, "I just got the news that "Second World" was shortlisted for eight Academy Awards. I wonder what you think about this, Mr. Yu?"
If you are satisfied with the result, will you attend the Academy Awards ceremony next month?"
Yu Dong already knew about the Oscar nomination list. It was nominated for eight categories, which sounds pretty impressive, but none of the awards nominated for "Second World" were grand prizes.
For the more important ones, such as Best Picture, Best Actor and Actor, Best Supporting Actor and Actor, and Best Director, "The Second World" was not nominated for any of them.
This is actually to be expected. Science fiction movies have never been favored by the Oscars. For example, this year's hit "Forrest Gump" is the most popular work by the Oscars.
"Second World" is generally shortlisted for awards in the visual effects category, which sounds like a lot, but it's all just to add to the list.
Regarding Ma Xiaohong's question, Yu Dong did not give a direct answer.
"The Oscars have an Oscar selection mechanism, and I don't know much about their mechanism, so I won't go into details. As for whether I will appear at the awards ceremony, it depends on fate. I have already received the invitation letter, but I will not go there one day.
Traveling to the United States is not easy, and I may not have time."
Ma Xiaohong was very satisfied to get such an answer. She put away her notebook and said with a smile: "Thank you, Teacher Yu, for taking the time to accept my interview today. I will notify you in advance when the manuscript is released."
"You're welcome. Don't be in a hurry to go back today. Let's have dinner together tonight."
Ma Xiaohong hesitated and didn't know how to answer. Yu Dong was still confused. When he opened the door and saw Qu Aiguo standing at the door, he suddenly understood.
"Okay, I won't disturb you anymore."
Yu Dong smiled and left first.
Ma Xiaohong's face was now red. After Yu Dong left, she gave Qu Aiguo a hard blow on the shoulder, "It's all your fault for making me look embarrassed in front of Teacher Yu."
Qu Aiguo laughed and said, "What's the point? You should have promised Brother Dong to have dinner together just now, and I could still have a meal."
Ma Xiaohong spat, "Shameless."
…
Oscar did send an invitation letter to Yu Dong, but the invitation letter is not in Yu Dong's hands now. Oscar first sent the invitation letter to Universal, and Universal then sent the invitation letter to Jimmy, and now the invitation letter is still with Jimmy.
This year's Oscars ceremony will be held at the Holy Auditorium in Los Angeles on the evening of March 27th.
Whether Yu Dong goes or not depends on whether he is busy at the time. If not, Yu Dong would also like to take a look. This time he went there with Cheng Yanqiu, which was considered his first trip after marriage.
It just so happened that "Fatal Identity" was about to be released, so he could hold a book signing while he was there. Since he had already said that he would work hard to make money, he had to take action. It was also appropriate to help Jimmy with publicity and share the pressure.
After walking out of the Government Affairs Building, Yu Dong went back to his dormitory first, and then ran to find Cheng Yanqiu.
The new house is not ready yet, so the couple now lives in their own dormitories every day. Although they are not far apart, it is quite difficult to be honest, so Yu Dong goes to find his wife whenever he has time.
"Teacher Yu, here we go again."
I don't know why, but every time Yu Dong came to see Cheng Yanqiu, he always met the two female teachers. As soon as they saw Yu Dong passing by, they started to make a fuss. Every time they did this, they never tired of it.
Yu Dong waved to them both downstairs, "Coming, coming."
The two female teachers smiled and stopped making noises. Cheng Yanqiu had heard the noise and ran down, pulling Yu Dong away.
Although they are already a legal couple, she is still thin-skinned and would be embarrassed if others coax her.
The two walked for a while, and Yu Dong talked about the Academy Awards, "I'm going to see if I'm busy at the time. If not, how about we go to Los Angeles for a few days?"
"Okay." Cheng Yanqiu agreed, "I haven't been to Los Angeles, Disney, or Hollywood. I went to Mannes Conservatory of Music with my teacher before, and then some of my classmates went to Los Angeles, but I didn't go with them.
"
Yu Dong smiled and said, "Then let's go there and have fun this time. Later, you can make a list of the places you want to visit, and we will visit them one by one according to the list."
"Then how to play it depends on the situation, how much you can play."
"Okay, I'll ask Jiang Jie to buy the plane tickets later."
"Yeah." Cheng Yanqiu hugged Yu Dong's arm, "Let's go to the mall tonight to look at kitchen utensils and tableware, as well as lamps. I'm going to put a floor lamp by the window and next to the sofa. From now on, we will read on the sofa and turn on the lights.
A floor lamp will be enough. The curtains should also be ordered, but don’t rush tonight, I’ll look at the curtains later..."
When talking about buying furniture for the home, Cheng Yanqiu was very enthusiastic, holding Yu Dong's arm and talking non-stop. Yu Dong didn't speak, he just looked at her and talked, and he was very happy.
…
In mid-March, senior students were going to participate in graduation internships one after another, and Yu Dong was almost busy with all the things he should be busy with. At this time, he received a call from Yanjing.
The number was very unfamiliar. Yu Dong thought it was another magazine calling, but he didn't expect that after the call was connected, Li Qiuhao's voice came from the other end of the phone, "Hello, Teacher Yu, I'm Li Qiuhao, do you remember me?"
What?"
Li Qiuhao called Yu Dong from the phone in the small shop. He thought about it for a long time before making this call. He only met Yu Dong once and never contacted him again.
How can a busy man like Yu Dong still remember himself?
Later, he finally mustered up the courage to make the call.
At first, the phone rang several times but was not answered. As the number of rings increased, Li Qiuhao's heart beat faster and faster. Just when he was about to hang up, a "Hello" came from the other side.
”.
Then Li Qiuhao said an opening statement like an endorsement.
Opposite me, Yu Dong smiled and said, "Do you think I have such a bad memory? Have I forgotten you? Not only do I remember you, but I also remember Ma Kai, remember when we went to visit Tianxisha Palace, and remember those little stories you told. And those
The short story left a deep impression on me, and later I wrote a short story and mentioned this."
He had read the novel Yu Dong mentioned, and at that time he was wondering if Yu Dong would be inspired by him. Now that he heard Yu Dong personally confirm this, Li Qiuhao was a little flattered.
"Why are you in Yanjing? I saw it was Yanjing's number, but I didn't expect it to be you." Yu Dong asked again.
Li Qiuhao explained, "I am doing an internship here."
"It would be great to be able to go to Yanjing for an internship."
"It was our teacher who took care of me. He knew that I had applied for Yanjing Normal University and specially asked me to come to Yanjing for an internship to facilitate my re-examination later."
"So you have passed the written test?"
"I passed it, the results just came out."
"Not bad, it seems we have a chance to become alumni. I hope to see you next time I go back to school."
"I will definitely work hard."
"By the way, where is Ma Kai, how did he do in the exam?"
"There will be no problem if he takes the exam at this school. It's almost done now, so there's no need to worry about the re-examination later."
"Well, that's good." Yu Dong thought for a while and felt that Li Qiuhao seemed to have something else to say, so he asked again, "Qiuhao, what do you think about organizing the stories I told you last time?"
Li Qiuhao had been looking for an opportunity to talk about this. Now that Yu Dong took the initiative, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "I have been sorting it out recently. I called today because I wanted to ask you a few questions, Teacher Yu.
I don’t know if it’s inconvenient for you.”
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Yu Dong said simply, "It's convenient, of course it's convenient, but I suggest not to talk on the phone. Let's write letters to communicate. You can share your thoughts."
Write it out in detail and send it to Jinling Art Institute, just write my name and receive it."
"Okay, Teacher Yu, I won't disturb you now."
After chatting with Li Qiuhao, Yu Dong began to think about mythical stories. The set of stories Li Qiuhao told at that time was very interesting and valuable to explore. If Li Qiuhao can sort it out, maybe he can use this set of stories in the future
The story organizes a rich system of mythological stories.
Yu Dong is not sure whether he can do it, but there is nothing to lose if he reaches out for this kind of thing. Everything depends on trying. If you can't do it once, you can do it a second time. If you don't do it the second time, you can do it a third time.
, as long as you do it, there is better hope than not doing it.
The key is that he now has the capital to promote this matter.
…
"Are you sure you're coming?" When Jimmy received the call from Yu Dong, he felt very complicated. He must be happy, but there are only two days left before the 27th, and there is not much time left for him to prepare.
Everything else is fine, the key thing is the autograph session.
He had contacted a bookstore in Los Angeles in advance and said that Yu Dong might go there to hold a book signing.
The other party was also very proud. Although he knew that Yu Dong would probably not go, he still agreed and made preparations in advance.
It's just that they haven't publicized it to the outside world, because they were afraid that if Yu Dongren didn't come after the publicity, then they would let the readers' pigeons go, which would cause resentment among the readers.
So after talking to Yu Dong on the phone, Jimmy quickly contacted the person in charge of Langton Bookstore and said that Yu Dong had decided to come and all publicity work could be started.
Ron almost screamed when he received Jimmy's call. During this time, the bookstore has been preparing for YU's autograph session, and everything has been prepared, including the huge posters used for promotion.
They have spent a lot of manpower and material resources, but if YU does not come in the end, then all these efforts will be in vain.
Fortunately, God bless, their efforts were not in vain, and they finally got YU.
Ron quickly called the employees together, regardless of the fact that it was still working time.
"Everyone, come here, I have something to announce."
The employees ran over one after another, and the customers in the bookstore couldn't help but look over when they saw the movement, wanting to see what happened.
Ron suppressed his excitement and said, "On March 28th, YU will hold a book signing at our bookstore. This matter has been decided. Everyone, please get involved and we will follow the rules set for you before.
The plan is implemented.”
The employees had no special reaction, but the readers were dumbfounded.
"What? YU is coming to hold a book signing? The 28th, damn, today is already the 24th."
"If it's true, you should feel lucky because you heard the news in advance, and there are many people who don't know about it."
"Look, they took out the huge poster. This can't be fake."
"Oh my god, has YU finally come to Los Angeles to hold a signing event? The last signing was in New York, and I didn't even attend."
"The 28th is actually the middle of the week. Why would someone hold a book signing in the middle of the week..."
"It seems that YU's new book will be out the day after tomorrow. I'll buy a new book then."
"What's the name of the new book?"
"'Fatal Identity', there is a poster at the door of the bookstore, didn't you pay attention?"
"I haven't been to the bookstore for a long time."
"No wonder, now major bookstores have posters of the new book, and many newspapers have reported on it."
"I heard that YU also designed a game for this book."
"I've heard about it too. I have a friend in New York. He said there is a gaming club and the games are very fun."
"Is there one here in Los Angeles?"
"I didn't hear that."
"pity."
…
Although the time left for Jimmy was not long, the promotion work of the autograph session was still very good. Among them, the YU reading club also played a crucial role.
As soon as Jeff got the news, he quickly mobilized members to launch publicity. They also have a branch in Los Angeles and handed over the task that day.
Because a new book is on sale this time, and the book signing is not limited to books, readers are more interested and publicity work is relatively easy to do.
Chapter completed!
