Traveling Through the Tokyo Bubble Era

Chapter 74 When the autograph session is in progress
No matter what happens afterwards, Hideki Hanyu's signing will continue.

Afterwards, although there were strange book fans, the one I met the most was the kind of crazy female fan who hugged him and didn't let go.

He was in a bit of pain, and there were several lipstick marks on his face, but he didn't make any big trouble after all.

The signing session was going on in a stumbling manner like this, and after the [-] book fans who made an appointment had signed, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon.

Looking at the long queue behind, Hanyu Hideki couldn't bear to leave, so he could only sign as many books as he could while the bookstore was still open.

Even if the process of making an appointment for a book fan is missing, the name of the other party still needs to be signed.

This is done to repay the readers, and secondly, to avoid the signed version of the book from entering the market and maliciously raising the price.

Because of the name of a book fan, it is always inappropriate to give it to others, so the signed book cannot be sold at a price.

Maruzen Bookstore closes at 07:30, and Hanyu Hideki signed for walk-in readers for two and a half hours.

He didn't count how many people signed, because he was almost numb after signing, and he couldn't even look up, so how could he remember how many people signed.

Anyway, when the bookstore closed and he finished the book signing, his right hand was too tired to lift it up.

"Hanyu-san is so weak, let's finish signing book signings tomorrow, otherwise, when the book signing in Tokyo is over, don't go to other cities, just go to the hospital for recuperation."

Seeing Hideki Hanyu slumped on the car seat with exhaustion, Eri Kitahara, who has always been strict, couldn't bear it.

"Who's weak! What Kitahara-san said is too exaggerated. I can finish the contract with twice as many. I feel hungry. I urgently need a Wagyu meal now."

How could Hanyu Hideki admit that he was weak, he tried his best to sit up and rubbed his stomach deliberately.

"It seems that Hanyu-sensei is really fine, then go to Kinokuniya Bookstore tomorrow, how about I ask the person in charge there to delay the closing time?"

Eri Kitahara asked this on purpose, she just wanted to see how long Hideki Hanyu could pretend.

"Dah! I'm really tired, but it's true that I want to eat Wagyu dishes. Kitahara-san must know where there is good food."

Hanyu Hideki faltered immediately upon hearing this.

But Wagyu cuisine still has to be eaten. Kitahara Eri's ability to find delicious food, he had already seen it during the earliest intensive publicity.

"Yamamoto-san, do you still remember the previous Jinglongyuan?"

Seeing that Hideki Hanyu stopped pretending, Eri Kitahara turned around and asked the driver.

Today they took the bus of Xiaoxiaoguan, and Yamamoto-san was the driver in charge of driving.

"Is it Morishita's?" Driver Yamamoto replied.

"That's right,"

"It's a bit far away, you guys can rest first, I'll call you when we arrive."

"It doesn't matter how far away, as long as it tastes good." Hanyu Hideki said hastily.

"Don't worry, although this is a new restaurant that has only been open for seven years, the barbecue is very good, Hanyu-san must like it."

Jokes are just jokes, but Eri Kitahara worked very hard to make Hanyu Hideki satisfied.

……

"The store last night was really good. Let's go again after the signing session is over today."

Fresh and crispy charcoal-grilled beef tongue, fragrant Wagyu skewers, and unique flavored raw beef.

Early the next morning, Hanyu Hideki was sitting in the car heading to the signing, still thinking about the barbecue yesterday.

He just felt that he didn't enjoy eating last night, and he just wanted to go again.

"Hanyu-san, I think what you should consider now is whether you can stick to Kinokuniya Bookstore to get off work today."

Eri Kitahara pointed out the window of the car, and it turned out that the car had already arrived in front of the Kinokuniya Bookstore where the autograph session was held.

At this time, the length of the queue outside the bookstore was even longer than that at Maruzen Bookstore yesterday.

"If there is anything to consider, no matter how much you think about it, you still have to do it, and the signing is over."

The signing session has already started, and it's useless to think too much, Hanyu Hideki put a sweater and hat on his head, got off the car and walked towards the bookstore.

This can be regarded as gaining wisdom through eating a pit, for fear of being discovered by book fans queuing up again, today I specially changed into a sweater with a hat.

But maybe the bad luck was left in yesterday, and today's signing will go very smoothly.

Although he signed for the book fans who came to the scene for a while after the book fans signed the appointment, but he still listened to Kitahara Eri's suggestion, instead of signing until the bookstore closed like yesterday, it was only extended for an hour before it was over.

Of course, for the book fans who failed to get autographs, Hideki Hanyu went out with a megaphone to apologize to everyone, saying that there will be two autograph sessions in Tokyo in the future, and I hope everyone will come again at that time.

After the two signing sessions in Tokyo, the next stop is Sapporo in Hokkaido.

However, when he left Tokyo, he did not bring Santomo Iijima with him, and left him in Tokyo to deal with his work. Whether it was the work of a writer, or the affairs of Yunying Pictures and the office, someone had to be in charge of contacting him.

Although there is a large temperature difference between day and night in Hokkaido in September, the average daytime temperature is 22 degrees, which can be regarded as a pleasant climate.

When Tanaka Yukio accompanied his mother to travel here before, Hanyu Hideki was quite envious, thinking that he would come here sometime.

Now he came to Sapporo for the first time, but he didn't have time to play at all, all because he had to catch up with the promotional schedule.

As soon as he arrived by plane in the morning, Eri Kitahara, who accompanied him, got the sales information of "Magic Snack Shop" from Xiao Xiaokan.

Within three days of its release, sales in the Tokyo metropolitan area alone have successfully exceeded [-] copies.

Although the sales volume of All Neon has not yet been calculated, it is estimated that it is likely to be close to [-] copies.

The Xiaoxiaoguan has already started to prepare for the second reprint plan. After all, according to this momentum, 15 copies may not last for two weeks.

With such a rapid sales explosion in the early stage, how could Eri Kitahara let Hanyu Hideki play, and the most important thing is to carry out signing promotions and continue to stimulate sales.

Sapporo is the center of the three major neon metropolitan areas. Although the population of Sapporo is far smaller than that of Tokyo, the enthusiasm for Hideki Hanyu is not bad at all.

It was also Hideki Hanyu who knew that there were so many book fans who liked him far away in the northern land. Counting the line at the door of the bookstore at random was definitely several times more than the number of people scheduled.

The book fans are so enthusiastic, what else can he do, the signing is over.

New cities, new book signings, and of course, new strange book fans.

However, to Hideki Hanyu's surprise, in Sapporo, he met readers who came to question him with "Children's Literature and Art", and there were more than one.

Obviously, as the story spread, more people hated the brats he described. It is estimated that when the second serialization of Xiaoxiaoguan is released, there will be more people who hate the brats.

However, although there are various problems, especially his most common one, the crazy female book fans who cling to him and never let go, overall, the two signings in Sapporo went relatively smoothly.

After all, he is still a children's literature writer, and his main audience is mostly children, except for those housewives who like him.

Children who like healing fairy tales are at most curious about the plots in the stories, such as asking him if there is really a gummy candy that can turn a person into a mermaid.

As for the strange behaviors of adults, children still can't do it.

　Thanks to the sinner for the reward.
