On New Year's Day, Chuli got up early in the morning before dawn, while Hiukawa was still chattering in the room, Chuli pushed open the door: "Teacher, I'm going out, remember to come to the exhibition when you wake up? It will officially open in the afternoon Just arrive early, I put the staff pass on the dining table for you, and you can take it to enter the venue without queuing."
The person on the bed turned over and lifted the quilt to cover his head, and waved his hand towards the door to signal the person standing at the door: I heard you, get out of here quickly, don't make any noise.
Chu Li: "A few days ago, when you said "I'm here" with wide-eyed eyes, you didn't have this attitude."
Hiukawa stretched out a hand out of the quilt, gropingly grabbed a pillow and threw it towards the door—Chu Li rolled his eyes and closed the door with a bang, packed his bags and hurried out.
It was only seven in the morning when Chuli took a taxi to the vicinity of the book fair. At this time, there were people queuing up outside the book fair. She silently guessed how many people in the long queue were donating wallets to her family, Zhou Chuan, and Chu Li took out her work Cardboard slipped in through the back door—when they arrived, Yu Yao was already there, directing the little bird to hang the poster of "Luohe Divine Book" on the booth, A Xiang and Lao Li were studying the stacking position, and they called everyone Say hello and join the lineup.
At eight o'clock, people from the marketing department and Lao Miao arrived late.
Liang Surf smiled and said to Chu Li: "Xiao Chu, don't be nervous, those cosplayer fans will also be the potential purchasing power of "Luohe Divine Book" after entering the arena, maybe we can still win-win."
Chu Li: "Okay, I believe it."
At 8:30, the book fair officially started. National statutory holidays doomed this day to be crowded with people everywhere. Even the riot police were alarmed, for fear that something would happen if there were too many people. There was a long queue in front of the booth of the Yuanyue Club. Because of the popularity of Hiukawa and the two cosplayers at the Yuanyue Club, the length of the line was barely equal to that of the next-door Xindun Club who lined up to buy "Farewell to the Shocked Magpie" and sign for a while. .
Chu Li took a look at the side, and found that the book signings held by Xindun and the others were all book signings on the spot, and the ticket for the signing meeting was collected with the invoice, which was valid on the spot on the day—buying this book elsewhere and bringing it to the signing sale Admission is prohibited.
At nine o'clock, the two cosers were in place under the leadership of the staff. Today's "book buying group photo" only started at nine thirty, ten thirty, eleven thirty and twelve thirty, so the first few hours basically They are all occupied by people who want to come to see coser... These people are very easy to distinguish, because they basically gather in groups of three or four, discussing their idols excitedly, and there must be one or two fans in the group with their favorite fans. Dou’s iconic items, such as Xiaorui’s fans will wear conspicuous cat ears or something—while Hiukawa’s book fans, except for those who especially want to get the book in advance, will join the queue, and the rest will basically go to the staff After confirming that the end time of the coser event in the afternoon is 12:30, I left directly.
Too many people ask.
During the period from the beginning of the book fair to half past nine, Chuli received at least a hundred people who came to confirm the time; besides, there were countless people who went to the booth to look at the promotional posters to confirm the time; "Moonlight" official Weibo The notification time planning form has been reposted four to five thousand times, and the content is all the same, "Then I will come back at one o'clock"...
"I seem to be watching the walking 'sales' pass by me one by one." Chu Li said, "My heart hurts."
"Since these people have entered the venue, they will definitely come back. Don't worry..." Ah Xiang patted Chu Li on the shoulder, "You just need to pray that nothing will come out of it when the time comes. Waking up early like fate is worthy of Jihad Day."
Chu Li: "...don't set up a FLAG for me."
Time passed by every minute and every second.
Chu Li stood outside and observed, and found that, as Liang Surf said, there are indeed some fans of cosplayers who will take Riu Chuan's book to check out after entering the venue. After all, this is already one of the few in the venue that they might be interested in. One of the most popular books—but most of them just pick a cheap book and get the numbered first volume to participate in the event. After all, the "Luohe Divine Book" is more than 50 yuan, which is not "cost-effective" for them .
Liang Surf's so-called "win-win" does not exist.
…
Chu Li just stood alive outside the booth for more than three hours. During this period, in order to avoid readers who came to confirm the time, she took time to drink two sips of water that Axiang handed her—
So desperately, even Yu Yao teased her, whether "Luohe Divine Book" sold well and Zhou Chuan could give her a dividend.
"The contract of "Yellow Spring Inn" is still pressed in the study of Zhou Chuan's house without signing. I snatched it back from Xindun alive that day. Before Zhou Chuan signed the contract, he was a god." Chu Li waved his hand, " I can't afford it, I can't afford it."
Chu Li's voice was neither high nor low, but it was heard clearly by Gu Baizhi, who was standing next to the booth of the New Shield Society and watching. He cleared his throat and turned his head—
Chu Li blushed slightly.
It was already 11:55 at this time, and fans with coser supporters on their bodies were still pouring in frantically. Chu Li stood on tiptoe and glanced at the crowd of people, and it was so dark that he couldn't see the end...
"Boss, can you start notifying Lao Liang that they are limiting the flow?" Chu Li looked away, and at the same time sent a text message asking if Zhou Chuan woke up and came over.
When Yu Yao walked away to ask Liang Surf when the traffic limit, Riu Chuan also replied to the text message, saying that he was on the road and there was a traffic jam—in order to increase the credibility, he even put a cute hand out of the window Take photos of traffic jams with long queues of vehicles ahead.
Chu Li smirked at the photo of the traffic jam.
A minute later, Yu Yao came back and told her that the current limit had already started.
When she said this, two little girls wearing cat ears were talking and laughing as they walked towards the end of the line, passing by them, the sound of face slapping sounded in the air—
First ceremony: "..."
Yu Yao: "..."
Chu Li and Yu Yao went to ask Liang Surfing, and Liang Surfing was very confident: "The so-called current limit, I can only tell them that the event will end soon, and for the time being, only readers who bought "Luohe Divine Book" will be given priority admission. I just bought the "Luohe Divine Book", so what else can I say?"
Chu Li clutched his chest, at this moment he was already getting a little angry. I went to the back work room and found a super large white paper and black marker pen. I wrote a wave of "book buying group photo" end time in capital letters and put it in the middle of the Yuanyue Society booth...
Nearly half past twelve, the book fans of Zhou Chuan began to gather one after another. When they walked over to see the team, their first reaction was: I will go, why are there so many people!
Some reluctantly began to line up honestly, and some walked away to have lunch again.
As a representative, Chu Li approached Liang Surf for the third time, and asked Liang Surf to make it clear that the event will end at 12:30, and there are still a few minutes left. If you are coming for a cosplayer, you don’t need to enter the venue to line up——Liang Surf His attitude was rather vague, instead of answering Chu Li directly, he asked, "Is Teacher Hiukawa here?"
Chu Li glanced at the phone, the conversation record two minutes ago, there are many people on holiday today, and Zhouchuan is still stuck on the road... At this time, Chu Li didn't think much, just told Liang Surf the truth: "There are about 50 minutes left..."
The latter said "Oh", nodded and sent her away.
At this time, behind Chu Li, the little girl with cat ears who had passed her and Yu Yao before entered the arena. Chu Li watched helplessly the two people who said they "just came to buy the "Luohe Divine Book"" He quickly walked to the bookcase closest to the cashier, took down a thin book, and rushed to the cashier to check out with excitement.
First ceremony: "..."
Chu Li frowned, and his thoughts of disregarding the following crimes and killing Liang Chongliang had already begun to come alive.
Ah Xiang saw that her complexion was not good, so he tugged at her sleeve to signal her to eat the box lunch anyway, after all, she was tired all morning... At this time, Chu Li was so angry that he had no other choice, and was dragged into the back by Ah Xiang I took one last look at the workshop, and I don't know what's going on, it's 12:28, and the marketing department is still putting messy people in there.
… bad feeling.
Entering the work room, Chu Li felt uneasy and vaguely felt that something was going to happen. He took a lunch box here and opened it absent-mindedly. Li is also a little angry: "The people in the marketing department are crazy. Just now, they suddenly informed that the book purchase and group photo event will be extended by 1:30, and the leader has already asked for approval!"
Everyone: "..."
Chu Li threw the chopsticks with a "snap" and stood up and was about to go out. Ah Xiang jumped up and stopped Chu Li with an "ah" sound. Chu Li was hugged by her waist, and the whole person was about to jump up, with angry eyes. red, roaring—
"No wonder you asked me when Hiukawa is coming!!! If Hiukawa doesn't come, they can ride on our heads, right? The agreed time is added temporarily. How long have Hikawa readers been waiting outside? If you bully someone who buys an admission ticket, you will come to buy books no matter what, and you won’t leave no matter what, so it doesn’t matter how long you make people wait, right! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh who gave you the right to be such a fan of Hiukawa! !!!Who!!!!!! Are you crazy about money? Have you ever thought about respecting authors and readers?!! Apart from money, have you ever thought about such a thing in this world?! Let go I, if I quit, I will kill the psychopaths in the marketing department!!!!"
