Chapter 307 Chu Kuang's Signature
Chapter 307: Chu Kuang's Signature
"Different worlds, similar encounters."
After Lin Yuan noticed these movements, he said with emotion.
On Earth, "Roger's Mystery", as Grandma's famous work, is called by some people the most controversial work in the history of mystery novels.
Perhaps thanks to my own fame, which is greater than when Grandma wrote "Roger's Mystery", the voice of controversy is slightly smaller, but this situation cannot be completely avoided.
Fortunately, the quality of "Roger's Mystery" is remarkable, and it is relatively orthodox in the narrative novels.
After all, "Roger's Mystery" is a benchmark work of the same type, and it has indeed been imitated all the time and has never been surpassed.
You know, among the 100 classic mystery novels selected by the American Association of Mystery Writers, "Roger's Mystery" is ranked twelfth.
also.
"Roger's Mystery" ranked fifth in the "BEST 100 Mystery Novels from East and West" voted by the Neon Mystery Writers Association and the reasoning agencies of various universities!
In this ranking, the first place is also the work of Grandma, and that one is even more amazing, called "None Survived".
When Lin Yuan customized it before, he was so greedy that his mouth was watering, the thief wanted to randomly get this novel...
"boss."
Jin Mu appeared and reported to Lin Yuan the current results of "Roger's Mystery".
This is the fifth day since "Roger Mystery" was released, and the sales volume of the novel has accumulated to about 5.6 million copies.
However, judging from yesterday's sales data, the growth rate has already declined.
This is related to the characteristics of "Roger's Mystery", but if it is passed through by the drama, the readability of this novel will be directly reduced.
However, this is the Internet age, where spoilers are everywhere and speech is free, and everyone cannot be expected to consciously keep secrets.
"Sales are good, I don't know if they can break 10 million by the end of the month..."
Lin Yuan smiled from the bottom of his heart, this is the benefit of having more readers, everyone, come and join the Blue Star Merger!
"Hard to say."
Jin Mudao: "Contact me from Yinlan Library, I hope you can sign and sell books..."
Book signing.
This is indeed a good way to stimulate sales.
It was inconvenient for Lin Yuan to show his face, and just about to refuse, Jin Mu said first: "There is no need to show your face, we only sign 50 copies, and finish it in private, and then let Yinlan Bookstore randomly ship them to major bookstores and online channels."
"Is there still such an operation?"
Lin Yuan was surprised, and immediately agreed, and even took the initiative to say: "How about we sign a hundred copies?"
"Not too much."
Jin Mu smiled and said: "After all, this is the boss's first book signing. Rare things are more expensive. Fifty copies are enough. It's just a publicity stunt."
"also."
Lin Yuan nodded.
He did what he said, and on the same day, he took the fifty books sent by the Yinlan library and prepared to sign his name.
"Sign Chu Kuang."
Seeing that Lin Yuan was about to write, Jin Mu hurriedly reminded him.
"Thanks for your reminder."
Lin Yuan almost signed his real name.
Jin Mu reminded again: "Considering that other vests will encounter similar things in the future, I suggest that your handwriting can be slightly adjusted."
"Handwriting?"
Lin Yuan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized.
So he thought about it, and wrote down the word "Chu Kuang" in a fluttering manner.
Wild grass.
In case someone wants Xianyu's signature in the future, Lin Yuan will write it in regular script.
As for the shadow, we'll talk about it later.
"The boss's words are really..."
When Jin Mu saw the word "Chu Kuang" flying like a dragon and a phoenix, he immediately raised his forehead.
The word "boss" shouldn't be called Kuangcao, it can only be regarded as scribbled.
That's right, Lin Yuan's handwriting is not very pretty.
It seems that the boss is not good at everything, and there are things he is not good at, Kaneki thought secretly.
If it wasn't for not wanting to deceive the readers, Jin Mu almost wanted to sign for Lin Yuan.
Fifty books with fifty names, only a hundred words, easy.
After the signature book was mailed back to the Yinlan library, the news was announced to the outside world soon:
Fifty copies of Chu Kuang's signed version of "Roger's Mystery" are on sale randomly!
In fact, it is still a bit late. This plan to stimulate sales should have been proposed when the novel was first released, but the popularity of the novel was not as high as it is now when it was first released...
Anyway, Yinlan Shuku only regards this thing as a gimmick.
As a result, Yinlan Shuku obviously underestimated the fans' desire for Chu Kuang's autographed book.
The day the news was released.
Headquarters of Yangcheng Shiguang Bookstore.
A certain customer came to the bookstore in a van and bought a thousand copies of "Roger's Mystery" in one go, and the bookstore staff began to help carry them.
Passers-by couldn't help but watch.
At that time, a reporter happened to pass by and was shocked when he saw this scene.
The reporter directly turned on the interview mode, and asked in some astonishment:
"Why do you buy so much? You also run a bookstore? The bookstore is out of stock?"
"no."
The customer smiled and explained: "I am a fan of Chu Kuang. I have been chasing his novels since his first work. I bought so many new books of Chu Kuang this time to see if I can read them." I bought the signed version of "Roger's Mystery" by Chu Kuang."
puff!
Everyone around was dumbfounded.
Is this the world of the rich?
In order to buy a signed book, order a thousand copies in one go! ?
The reporter still understood the situation, and couldn't help but said: "As far as I know, there are only fifty copies of Chu Kuang's autographed books. According to the daily sales data of novels, even if you buy a thousand copies, it is difficult to guarantee that you can buy them." Chu Kuang's signed work..."
"Yes."
The customer nodded: "So I also posted a reward on the Internet today. If anyone buys Chu Kuang's autographed book and is willing to resell it, I can buy it at a high price."
"It costs a lot of money, is it worth it?"
The customer smiled casually: "One thousand copies of "Roger's Mystery" cost less than 20,000 yuan, and the bookstore even gave me a discount. If there is no signed version in this batch of books, I can give the book to a friend etc., or donate it so that more people can read this work.”
reporter:"……"
Less than 20,000 yuan?
Is this human?
I'm afraid you don't know how hard it is for ordinary people to earn 20,000 yuan...
The reporter interviewed passers-by and asked their opinions on the book "Roger's Mystery".
This is a bookstore, and the customers are all book lovers. There are not a few people who have read "Roger's Mystery", so everyone is very happy to accept interviews.
"I am a fan of reasoning. I like "Roger Mystery" very much, especially the ending, which is amazing! Because of this book, I have become a fan of Chu Kuang, maybe it has something to do with me being from Chu, Chu Kuang's There is also the word Chu in the name, which makes me feel very friendly."
"It's a great novel. If I have money, I would like to get Chu Kuang's autographed book...and then sell it to this buddy."
"I haven't read "The Mysterious Case of Roger", but I came here today to buy this book because many people around me recommended it to me."
"I'm also a fan of Chu Kuang. I would like to take this opportunity to say something, "Roger's Mystery" is great. It's not that the author is playing tricks. It's a brand-new method of reasoning and creation called narration!"
"As a reader of "Roger Mystery", I just want to say that there is no reason for you to miss the pioneering work of narrative trickery."
"I understand this buddy who bought a thousand copies of "Roger's Mystery". Since Chu Kuang debuted, he has never held a book signing event, so many people want to get Chu Kuang's autograph."
"..."
Not only the Shiguang Bookstore in Yangcheng.
Following the news of Chu Kuang's autographed book, there has been a large-scale purchase of books by a certain customer at the door of many bookstores and online ordering channels!
Obviously, they are all readers with relatively good economic conditions and fanatical worship of Chu Kuang.
Moreover, some rich people did appear on the Internet offering huge sums of money to buy Chu Kuang's signed version of "Roger's Mystery"!
As a result, one lucky person bought the signed version of "Roger's Mystery", and then sold it to a rich second generation for 5,000 yuan!
To know……
It's just a signature.
And "Roger's Mystery" is actually only 15 yuan because the content is not long.
After the news was reported, many netizens were dumbfounded.
"These local tyrants really don't take money seriously. They almost emptied out the small bookstore just because of a celebrity's autograph."
"Five thousand yuan for a signature, which is more expensive than what a celebrity sells!"
"I have an autograph of a first-line singer at home, but no one bought it for 2,000 yuan..."
"I heard that a certain basketball superstar's signed jersey sold for 8,000 yuan, but it was the signature of the superstar's entire team, and Chu Kuang was the only one."
"It may be because Chu Kuang has never done book signings, so it is relatively rare."
"I decided to buy a copy of "The Mysterious Case of Roger". For the same content, others spent 5,000 yuan, but I only spent 15 yuan. If I round it up, it means that I have earned 4,885 yuan!"
"I would like to call you a math genius, buy a hundred copies of him, and get rich directly!"
"Hahahaha, return the math to the physical education teacher, take out the calculator and calculate, in fact, you actually earned 4,985 yuan."
"..."
Netizens are discussing lively, and with this round of enthusiasm, the idea of "narrative" has also begun to take root in the hearts of the people.
"Stop saying that the reasoning in this novel is unreliable, people call it Xu Gui!"
"Xu Gui is okay, it's a trick."
"Narrative trick, very apt description."
"It turns out that this is Xu Gui, learned it!"
"What's so weird, after reading this book, I was directly dismissed by reasoning. From now on, I won't read mystery novels, and I will be completely overwhelmed by IQ. The old thief Chu Kuang is a scam!"
"..."
This series of reactions made Lin Yuan dumbfounded.
He began to seriously consider the possibility of autograph trafficking.
All right.
This idea was quickly dispelled by Lin Yuan, he still understood the truth that rare things are more expensive.
That is to say, now Lin Yuan's economic conditions are better.
Otherwise, Lin Yuan didn't care what was rare.
In this series of events, there was also a small episode that made Lin Yuan feel a little depressed——
Some netizens posted Chu Kuang's signature, and because of the scribbled handwriting, it caused a lot of ridicule.
In his comment area, the first hot comment turned out to be:
"Old thief Chu Kuang, don't bother typing on the keyboard, just practice calligraphy if you have nothing to do."
My own words are despised!
