In the afternoon, the competition entered a white-hot stage.
Morning Star has come up with a cunning trick: if you queue up, you will get a 3-yuan milk tea coupon, and you can immediately buy a cup of original milk tea at the milk tea shop next door.
Waiting in line is tiring, and in winter it’s cold, so drinking milk tea is the best option. Some girls were still hesitating, but when they saw the coupons, they naturally joined the Morning Star team.
The line on the opposite side was getting longer and longer, and I took a picture of the street corner ahead.
There cannot be too few people on Jinwu's side. Judging from the crowd portrait, it covers old, middle-aged and young people, and the audience is actually wider than that of Chenxing.
But in the photos taken by the drone, there are more dark crowds under the morning star.
Mr. Tao was very proud of himself and came to Jinwu's place to show off.
"Oh, the air here is so good." He shouted exaggeratedly as he entered the door, "There are too many people here, it's hot and stuffy, I came here to take a breath."
All the employees under Jinwu Company cast resentful glances at him.
President Tao was even more proud, and said: "President Kang, you guys spent a lot of money here, right? Tsk tsk tsk, what a pity."
Kang Mucheng glanced at him and asked, "Why is Mr. Tao here?"
"Come and see us. We are rivals, but also friends. Literature is something we all share." Mr. Tao kept talking. "We should communicate more when we have the chance, right?"
Kang Mucheng: "Really?"
"Of course, let's have a drink together tonight to celebrate." Mr. Tao smiled and said without mercy, "I booked a restaurant and prepared tens of thousands of bottles of wine. Mr. Kang, please do me a favor."
Kang Mucheng said nothing, his eyes fixed on the team in front of Jian Jing.
President Tao looked over and said, "Oh, Jingjing is here too. I wonder how Devil 2 is doing. This is such a big deal. I'm really worried. It's tragic. He can't go to the hospital again this time. President Kang, you have to keep a close eye on him. He's so young. There's nothing he can't get over. You better think about it."
He was a very bad person and never said bad things about anyone, but when he heard these good words, they sounded more cruel than cursing.
Kang Mucheng turned his head and sneered: "No need to bother."
Mr. Tao was not angry, and even smiled even more happily.
Of course, Jian Jing didn't know all this.
Today she was just a tool to attract customers. She was busy signing autographs, signing over and over again, until she couldn't even recognize her own name in the end.
But even so, we have to continue operating.
"Okay." She read the lines for the nth time and asked the reader in front of her, "What should I write about?"
The person in front of him: "Jiang Baiyan."
Jian Jing: “?”
She looked up in confusion and saw a face hidden under a baseball cap and a mask.
He took off his mask, and his beautiful face looked like ivory sculpture in the light: "Jiang of rivers, Bai of white, Yan of fireworks."
Jian Jing: “???” Something big has happened.
Her first reaction was to lower her voice and ask, "Did you sneak out?"
"I'm here to buy books." Jiang Baiyan said with a smile, "Give me an autograph."
Jian Jing frowned and signed quickly.
However, in order to fit as many people as possible in the auditorium, the movement lines were arranged in multiple lines. There was not much distance between people in the queue.
Some people had already noticed that something was wrong with Jiang Baiyan, and when he took off his mask, they couldn't help but gathered around to take a closer look.
Jiang Baiyan lowered his head desperately.
Passersby gathered around him and asked, "Is that Jiang Baiyan?"
"Ah, it's Jiang Baiyan!"
“Oh my god!”
"Jiang Baiyan!!"
When a few people shouted, everyone around heard it and the entire auditorium was in an uproar.
Jiang Baiyan was pushed back a few steps by the enthusiastic passers-by and his baseball cap fell off.
This is confirmed.
"Can you sign an autograph for me?"
"Give me an autograph."
The smarter ones had already picked up the book "Hide and Seek" next to them and held it high: "Teacher Jian, please sign it for me!"
Jiang Baiyan: "I just came here to ask for an autograph."
Passerby: "Give me an autograph!!!"
He: =口=
Jiang Baiyan looked at Jian Jing for help. She glanced at him, then stared at the unreasonable number of "Kids Playing Hide and Seek" next to her, and understood the situation to some extent.
She handed "The Devil Doctor" back to Jiang Baiyan.
He held up the book in his hand and said, "Please don't crowd me. I'm just here to buy books. I'll be gone soon. Please don't disturb the teachers for their autographs."
Is it right now? We must hurry up.
The line suddenly became chaotic, and some people tried to cut in line.
Jiang Baiyan looked at Jian Jing with great pity.
She smiled.
Kang Mucheng came over and whispered a few words. The assistant moved a chair over and placed it next to him.
Jiang Baiyan sat down next to Jian Jing, picked up the microphone, and said in a clear voice: "Okay, okay, everyone, please don't crowd. I'll sit for a while. Everyone, please line up properly."
Seeing him sit down, the others stopped pushing and shoving, and their faces became even more excited.
This is a star, a real star.
Even if you're not a fan of him, since you're here, of course you have to ask for an autograph.
No matter how handsome he is in real life, it is definitely not a problem to become his fan at this moment.
Mr. Tao knew that he was in trouble and said angrily, "Mr. Kang, you are so mean."
"Is the air here too stuffy?" Kang Mucheng said calmly, "Otherwise, you should go back and rest."
Mr. Tao said angrily: "No need to bother, humph!"
He ran away.
Across the street, another hotel.
There are a lot of girls here. They are all dressed up beautifully, holding hot milk tea in their hands, chatting, taking selfies and posting them on WeChat Moments, chattering loudly, and it is very lively.
Behind one of the autograph tables, the newly unknown but extremely popular Cinderella author was all smiles, occasionally speaking in English or French to her husband, who was accompanying her.
The husband looked a little cold, with the rigor of a British gentleman. But he inadvertently gave the woman a doting smile and called her "Darling" softly.
From time to time, the crowd burst into exclamations: "So sweet" and "So loving".
No one can tell whether it is a shill or not, it doesn’t matter at all.
However, at this moment, someone suddenly shouted, "Jiang Baiyan is on the other side!"
Wow, there was a commotion in the room.
"He's signing autographs across the street!" someone else shouted, leading the charge out, "Hurry up, hurry up, or he'll be gone if you're too late."
People tend to follow others blindly. Even if they haven't seen it with their own eyes, someone has seen it. The readers behind them hesitate for a moment, and then think that it won't be their turn for a while, so there's no point in just taking a look, and they follow suit.
The team was reduced by one-tenth.
Others waited in line for a long time, still waiting and watching, fearing that it might be fake.
Soon, everyone saw fans gathered at the entrance of the hotel opposite. They were very professional, holding banners, holding up signs, and shouting slogans.
All the fans are here, it must be real!
People were moving around and girls were whispering.
"Jiang Baiyan, are you playing the role of xx?"
"Oh yeah, the Hide and Seek he acted in seemed to be written by the author Jinwu."
"Ah, my friend posted a video on WeChat Moments, let's take a look!"
A group of people immediately gathered around the girl.
They saw on their cell phone screen that there was indeed a handsome brother who glowed brightly while sitting in the room, and next to the handsome brother was a gray-haired sister wearing a beret.
Judging from the situation, this combination is much more eye-catching than Morning Star's.
"You can play hide-and-seek with autographs here! Two autographs for the author and the lead actor!!" The insiders in the crowd kept saying, teasing the girl's interest, "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! There will definitely be no next time if you miss it!"
"The line is outside, it's going to be late!"
There are stars!
Limited edition! Unique!
The horse is going to be gone! If you don't grab it, it will be gone! It's already here!
Every strike hit the vital point.
Unable to contain their eagerness, they decisively abandoned the European nobles whose authenticity they did not know and rushed into the arms of the popular star.
It has to be said that although it is true that the girl groups invited by Morning Star attracted a lot of male fans to come and support them, their largest audience completely overlaps with Jiang Baiyan's fans, all of whom are young girls.
Kang Mucheng's series of moves were as ruthless as those of President Tao.
He directly harvested the readers gathered by Morning Star.
Mr. Tao was so angry that he jumped up and down.
Shameless, shameless!
Even if we Chenxing invited people from the entertainment industry, don’t we Jinwu always pursue style and not use celebrities? This is too much! !
He couldn't help but think darkly that they would still lose money no matter how much money they made after hiring such a big star.
Thinking of this, I felt a little more comfortable.
But Kang Mucheng was angry that he made a fuss about Jian Jing's suicide, so he called him immediately.
"Boss Tao, I'm so sorry, I can't eat dinner this evening." Kang Mucheng said, "I didn't expect Jingjing to have such a big-name reader who came here without saying a word. I have to treat her to dinner anyway."
Mr. Tao: “Damn it!”
Kang Mucheng: "Let's make an appointment next time."
Jian Jing took off her coat and drank a cup of iced milk tea, but she still felt dizzy.
Too many people.
The stock of "Hide and Seek" was limited. She originally thought that she would be done after signing more than a hundred copies of Hide and Seek with Jiang Baiyan. However, who would have thought that Kang Mucheng was already prepared.
He brought over several boxes of Hide and Seek posters.
Buy "Devil 2" and get a poster of "Hide and Seek" for free. Buy "Devil 1+2" and get signed photos of the TV series "Hide and Seek" and "Devil Doctor".
Jiang Baiyan: "This is Teacher Jian's book signing event. I can only help her sign Hide and Seek."
And then, "I originally came here just to buy "Devil Doctor 2". I saw it in 1 and it was very good. So I came here right away today and wanted to see it today."
Now that things have come to this, I must buy a copy to show my support.
The heat continued until four o'clock in the afternoon.
Jiang Baiyan is dead.
He was very grateful and immediately posted a signed photo on Weibo after leaving:
Jiang Baiyan v:
I got a new book. I don't know if I can finish it before going to bed today~
[book.jpg]
The first books launched in the new year are sold both online and offline. With his promotion, the online sales also increased.
Which fan doesn’t want to have the same things as the stars? Clothes are too expensive, but books are definitely affordable.
Jian Jing kept signing, relying on the milk tea with added ingredients to survive. By the time she came back, it was already past seven in the evening.
"No one is here?" She actually breathed a sigh of relief.
Kang Mucheng: "The book is gone."
Jian Jing: “?!”
He couldn't hide the smile between his brows: "Ten thousand new books, thousands of sets, all signed."
Jian Jing was stunned for a moment, then she let out a scream: "No wonder my wrist is about to break, more than ten thousand... Oh my God." At the on-site book signing event, one thousand copies is not a small number, and five thousand is considered a big hit.
Having signed more than 10,000 copies, she has become a hot topic today.
"Apply it." Kang Mucheng had already prepared a cold compress and Yunnan Baiyao. "Come on, let's eat."
While spraying the medicine, Jian Jing asked, "Is this arranged today?"
Kang Mucheng said succinctly: "I met Qiu Lin before."
Jian Jing introduced the person to him, probably wanting to help him make some connections, but how could he use her favor for other things? Of course he would return it to her.
In the end, the two sides started a cooperation. Qiu Lin allowed Jiang Baiyan to come and support Jian Jing, and also caught the illegitimate fan on the same day.
Kang Mucheng said that if Devil 2 were to be filmed, they would strongly recommend Jiang Baiyan to play the role.
The thing about "a star disguised himself to buy books at home and was accidentally discovered by fans" is actually just like the airport photos, the plot behind it is all arranged.
Jian Jing sighed, but said: "There are a lot of people, but the popularity is not mine."
"Jiang Baiyan is just a gust of wind. He is just here to help you. Whether you can light the fire depends on yourself." Kang Mucheng said, "But I have faith in you. Devil 2 will be a hit."
