The sun at the end of July was extremely fierce. Some people were still sweating while holding parasols, not to mention those without shelter. Their cheeks and backs of neck were already sunburned.
Science fiction is about imagining the one that is closest to the truth among countless possibilities.
After all, live broadcasts are quite prosperous now. There are quite a lot of live broadcasts of eating, drinking, playing games, singing, and surviving in the wild. It is normal to live broadcast Lin Han’s new book signing event.
Lin Han was sitting in the car heading to Xidan Book Building. He shook his head and said, "I don't know exactly, but there must be a lot."
Xidan Book Building, the largest retail bookstore in Beijing, is known as the largest book city in Asia.
The reporters have been waiting for a long time, including CCTV and other heavyweight media. One of them wanted to report on the grand event of the new book release, and the other wanted to interview Lin Han about Alibaba Pictures and the movie "Those Years".
Not only were the reporters shocked, but even Lin Han did not expect such a surprise. It had been less than a month since Jing Haipeng returned to Earth from the Tiangong-2 space station. He was supposed to be cooperating with scientists at the space center. They did research, and today they actually appeared at their book launch.
"Boss, guess how many people are already queuing up now." Xie Xin looked at her phone with a smile in her eyes.
"2001: A Space Odyssey" is so attractive that in addition to real readers, many scalpers also use their manpower to queue up. As long as they can get Lin Han's autographed book, they can make a fortune just by changing hands on Xianyu. Thousands of dollars!
Lin Han felt a little relieved when he heard this. He didn't want anyone's life to be in danger. Heat stroke can sometimes be very serious.
"Xiao Xie, please discuss with the Renmin University Publishing House and Xidan Book Building to see if you can get some refreshing drinks or sun umbrellas for these people waiting in line. I'm afraid that the sun will cause them heatstroke."
Don't underestimate Lin Han's charm and the richness of Hanlin's bachelors. The most expensive transaction before was a signed version of "The Three-Body Problem", which was sold for more than 70,000 yuan.
As the elevator went up, Lin Han had already moved his wrists. There would be a fierce battle later.
Since Zhou Hantian came to be the host, he had also read the first three parts of the novel. He asked questions that countless readers wanted to know, "After reading your novel, Teacher Lin, I suddenly became very curious. Such a black slate Who placed it, how many pieces are there in total, and what is their purpose?”
In the lobby on the first floor, when his voice rang out, fans queuing up one after another screamed with excitement. Even if they were not tall enough to stand on their toes, they held up their phones to take pictures even if they couldn't see it!
Fans lining up at the railings on the second and third floors were equally ecstatic, but as soon as they approached the edge of the railings, security guards and staff stopped them.
"It is said that thousands of people have been stranded inside the library building, and more than a thousand people are queuing outside. We must speed up the process."
"The answers to these can be found in later novels. These black stone slabs are part of a certain kind of galactic network of intelligent life. The black stone will have an even more shocking effect later on, so I won't spoil it here for the time being."
Zhao Han was extremely satisfied with this response. It seemed that his efforts had not been in vain. He not only wanted to occupy the cultural and entertainment news pages, but also not let go of social news.
"Today's work is over, I must hold this book and read it carefully." Zhou Hantian joked, "But there is someone who must have read the full text of "2001: A Space Odyssey" today. Let us welcome astronaut Jing Haipeng , and the book about a real space odyssey!”
"That's how it should be!"
Beijing locals like to come to Xidan when visiting bookstores, while outsiders prefer Wangfujing.
"I'm very sorry for keeping everyone waiting!"
Xie Xin put her mobile phone in front of Lin Han and saw the black crowd on the screen. It was clear that someone was live broadcasting on the mobile phone!
Xidan Book Building is one of the signatures of Xinhua Bookstore Group. This time Lin Han can enjoy the treatment of signing books in the entire building, which largely depends on his identity as a spokesperson.
As soon as the vehicle was parked in the underground parking garage of Xidan Book Building, many staff members gathered around it. Even Mr. Zhao Han from Renmin University Publishing House was waiting here.
The last time Lin Han signed a book at Wangfujing Book Building, the traffic was almost paralyzed. This time he moved to Xidan. The location is very good, and the subway and bus are very convenient.
"Actually, the real space journey is not as humorous as my previous "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", but full of dullness and tedium, witnessing those things with your own eyes. The universe is so big, and it seems too pretentious to think that we are the only ones here. , but why haven’t other lives appeared yet? This book imagines one of the possibilities, and the truth must be far beyond expectations.”
"No problem. The publishing house said that a lot of medicine and ice-cold mineral water have been arranged for backup, and an ambulance is on standby."
Originally "2001: A Space Odyssey" had been put into the collection of the Aerospace Museum, but this time it was brought out for exhibition by Jing Haipeng. I wonder how much time and effort RUC Publishing House spent on it.
The host of this press conference was also a famous figure on CCTV. Zhou Hantian was surprised by Lin Han's popularity. Many first-line stars may not have so many supporters.
The media suddenly became hungry wolves, and the flashes of the cameras and cameras did not stop at all. At the same time, the fans who had been waiting for a long time also exclaimed "Wow", they did not expect that there was such a mysterious visitor!
Under the scorching sun, the interior of Xidan Book Building is almost overcrowded, and now it is basically only possible to enter but not enter.
In front of the small stage is a circuitous route surrounded by fences, which is like the 18-turn mountain road entering the train station during the Spring Festival travel rush, and can accommodate more people.
"Hello, Mr. Lin, we know that today is the book signing party for "2001: A Space Odyssey". So what did you think of when you wrote this book?"
Consumers who were shopping for other books in the bookstore were startled by this gesture, and at the same time they gathered around curiously, wanting to see the excitement and see which celebrity appeared here.
I also worked hard to get Lin Han's autographed book!
Lin Han didn't put on makeup or change clothes. He waved his hands as soon as he came on stage, preparing to enter the state of autograph signing.
