Traveling Through the Tokyo Bubble Era

Chapter 73
Although the book signing will end immediately after signing all reserved book fans, but generally speaking, as long as there are book fans queuing up on site, the writer will continue to sign.

It's just that book fans who have not made an appointment will not get gifts and thank you letters from the author.

As for how many people to sign, it depends on the writer's character and time.

Hideki Hanyu's character, Eri Kitahara, is clear. The previous book signing was only over when the bookstore got off work.

"Iijima-san, please contact the staff at the signing event and ask them to notify the book fans and prepare your name in advance."

Hanyu Hideki explained to assistant Iijima Sanchi.

Book fans prepare names in advance, so he doesn't need to ask one by one when signing, which will undoubtedly save a lot of time.

Glancing at the long queue, Hideki Hanyu said helplessly, "The previous signings obviously didn't have so many people."

"At that time, Hanyu-san was not as famous as he is now. Besides, there were housewives who came to join in the fun, but now there are many young children."

Hearing Kitahara Eri's words, Hanyu Hideki looked at the team carefully and found that it was exactly what Kitahara Eri said.

The previous signings were basically for housewives who liked him, not so much for the works, but for the people who met him.

But most of the current team are young people or children. Looking at the "Magical Snack Shop 1. Dream Gummy Got into Trouble" in their hands is enough to prove that they came here for the work.

"Okay, it's useless to worry about it here, let's start quickly."

Hearing Kitahara Eri's words, Hanyu Hideki took a deep breath, opened the door and got out of the car.

For today's book signing, he deliberately dressed in a more modest way, hoping to appear closer to the book fans.

A simple T-shirt with jeans, a pair of canvas shoes under his feet, and a rustic black-frame flat mirror on the bridge of his nose, trying to lower his appearance.

Unfortunately, his own conditions are too good. The height of 1.8 meters is definitely considered outstanding among today's neon men. The figure cultivated by practicing dance all the year round is even more difficult for ordinary people to have.

Whether it's height, shape, temperament or appearance, they are all too conspicuous.

Therefore, even though he had tried hard enough to suppress his personal image, he was quickly spotted by book fans queuing up when he got out of the car.

It was a small-scale discussion at first, but soon turned into a burst of noise. Seeing that the book fans were desperate to gather around him, the staff responsible for maintaining order saw this and hurriedly escorted him upstairs.

Seeing that Hideki Hanyu disappeared, the excited book fans finally calmed down, and no incident of siege occurred.

The person in charge of Maruzen Bookstore managed to send Hanyu Hideki up to the third floor, and immediately sighed.

"Mr. Hanyu, no writer has ever held a signing event before, and we need to maintain order."

In fact, the person in charge didn't say anything later, that is, only when those idols sell photobooks do they need to make such a big fight.

However, considering Hideki Hanyu's previous failed idol experience, the person in charge did not dare to speak out for fear of breaking a taboo.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Seeing that these people were exhausted due to his own fault, Hanyu Hideki hurriedly expressed his thanks.

But after thanking him, he ordered Mitomo Iijima next to him to buy drinks for all the staff on site.

Say it with your mouth, how to compare it with the actual expression, the drink is not expensive but the most important thing is the mind.

After the hustle and bustle at the beginning, his first signing event finally started.

"Thank you Matsushima-san for your support, please accept my thanks."

After signing the autograph for a young lady, Hanyu Hideki hand-delivered an exquisite paper bag with the Shogakukan LOGO printed on the outside.

Inside the paper bag, in addition to the colorful poster of "Magic Snack Shop" as a gift, there is also a letter of thanks sealed with wax seal,

When handing over the gift, you also need to cooperate with the staff next to you to take pictures. After the photos are developed, they will be mailed to book fans according to the reservation information.

This seemingly troublesome process has been considered smooth in the signing meeting, mainly because the readers' performance is relatively normal.

As for what is not normal.

Some pulled him to ask about the meaning of the plot in the story, some did not follow the rules and took out multiple books for him to sign, and some took out his old picture books for him to sign.

And I also want to be a writer, so I asked him to read the works directly, hoping that he would give his opinions on the spot.

There are even more excited female fans who don't want to rush up to sign, and don't let go when they hug him, and they just rely on the help of the staff to separate, but there are quite a few of them.

In short, there are too many people at the signing event, and it is inevitable that we will meet all kinds of strange book fans.

But what surprised Hanyu Hideki the most was a book fan who held the weekly "Children's Literature and Art" and asked him why he created such an annoying bear child.

Hanyu Hideki took a look, only to find that in the latest "Children's Literature and Art", his "Love, Go Home" was the first serialized article.

Compared with the plot of the movie, the timeline and story length of the novel are undoubtedly wider.

The beginning of the novel explained in detail how Mikiko and her boyfriend abandoned her mother Keiko, and then had to take her son Masao home to find her mother because of unemployment, hoping that her mother Keiko could help her take care of her son for a while.

However, due to the limited number of characters in the series, the story only describes how Masao, as a child growing up in Tokyo, hated life in the country, how he disliked his grandmother who could not speak, was stooped, lived in poverty, and was close to blind.

Zhengnan dislikes his grandmother's dirtyness, and doesn't allow his grandmother to touch him, and even doesn't allow his grandmother to give her food.

In short, only in this opening story, Zhengnan, who has not yet begun to be changed by family affection, is a very disgusting spoiled child.

It’s no wonder that readers question him so much. After all, his previous works, whether it’s a picture book or a magical snack shop, are all healing stories. Who would have thought that such an annoying bear child would appear in the new work.

However, Hideki Hanyu understands that this is only the beginning, and before the story progresses to the end, Masao changes, this kid will only do things that are even more annoying to readers.

Because Zhengnan's Nintendo Game & watc phone ran out of batteries, he asked his grandmother to buy batteries for him, but his grandmother who has been poor all his life has no money.

But Zhengnan, who doesn't understand his grandmother, thinks that his grandmother is being stingy and doesn't give him money. In his anger, he not only pushes down his grandmother, but also kicks his grandmother's jar to pieces.

In order to retaliate, he also hid his grandmother's shoes, which caused his grandmother to carry water barefoot. He even stole his grandmother's hairpin and wanted to sell it in a nearby town for money to buy game console batteries. .

He wanted to eat McDonald's fried chicken, but his grandmother exchanged the hard-planted vegetables for a chicken. When he came back, it was pouring rain, and the grandmother without an umbrella was caught in the rain all the way.

The chicken bought so hard, because grandma didn't know what fried chicken was, she made stewed chicken for Zhengnan to eat.

But Zhengnan directly overturned the stewed chicken that his grandma had worked so hard to make because he didn't make fried chicken.

Grandma wanted to apologize because she couldn't speak, but she couldn't say anything.

And such an annoying story, it is estimated that there will be several serials.

But seeing that the first issue of the series has only been published, some readers have already come to question it face-to-face. It is estimated that if the series continues, the Xiaoxiaoguan will receive readers' blades.

Thinking of this, Hideki Hanyu immediately felt his scalp tingle. It seemed that his autograph session was not over yet!
Will some readers bring blades directly to the signing?
