Reborn Cultural Empire

Facing such enthusiastic readers, although the young man wanted to have an in-depth discussion with them, after all, there is no author who does not like to talk about his works with others.But the current situation is that after the signing meeting, he will go directly to the airport, and in the past few days in France, he has never stepped into the threshold of any hotel: "Sorry, after the signing is over, I'm going to fly back to Huaxia directly, and if possible, I also hope to have an in-depth discussion with you about my work... Oh yes..."

At the moment before the woman's face was about to be filled with disappointment and helplessness, Yang Yi suddenly thought of a way, so he motioned for the woman to give him the book, and then he quickly wrote a letter under the signature. Serial number: "This is my icq number, which is the very popular Internet communication software. If you also use this software, I think we will still have the opportunity to communicate."

The woman was obviously very happy to get this surprise. After putting away the book, she simply leaned down and gave Yang Yi a hug: "It's a great honor to meet you, lovely"'Mr. I hope my daughter and I won't miss you when you appear on the Internet again."

Waved his hand and bid farewell to this reluctant lady. Yang Yi took over the second book, signed his name on it very fluently, and returned it to the other party. Pure smile.With this trick, he managed to capture the hearts of at least two girls at the Yunzhong Book City year-end sale held in Yuezhou at the end of last year. There was a city girl who asked him for an autograph with "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" girl.She even cried and clamored to be the boy's girlfriend, and finally dispatched three little secretaries from the general manager's office.Finally, the girl was persuaded to come down.Of course, the smug teenager at the signing.After the signing was over, Su Wan's stares and indifference were not unheard of.

It's just the difference in age and gender, can it make the smile of the invincible boy become useless at all?Okay, the old man in front of you, it’s okay if you win, but please don’t look at me with such deep frowns, people who don’t know will definitely think that I’m the bastard who cheated your lovely granddaughter .So how about a different look?

Just when Yang Yi wondered, could it be that this kind of innocent smile is not universally murdered by men and women, the second old man who came to ask for his autograph suddenly pointed to the two lines of writing on his book, and asked dissatisfiedly: " Don't I, an old man, deserve your icq number? You are naked sexist. And I never knew that the tastes of young people have changed from young girls to grown women."

Embarrassing!

It turns out that this is the case, wouldn't it be good if you just say it outright?At first, I stared at it so stubbornly, thinking that something was wrong.Besides, the icq number is not a necessary content of the signature.Yang Yi naturally shouted in his heart that he was wronged.Too bad no one could hear it.However, after getting the boy's contact information, the old man suddenly showed a satisfied smile and happily held his hand: "Although there are completely different cultures in many details. But I still want to say, you This work reminds me of my mother. She is like that, um. A hard rock that makes people helpless. Thank you and your work for bringing me such good memories. Dear foreign girl gentlemen."

After the old man left, the third person who came up was a girl about the same age as the boy. After wondering whether the other party could understand his novel, he still honestly picked up the pen and signed it. own name.

However, in the following exchange session, a situation that both Yang Yi and Gallimard Publishing House had expected appeared. This reader could only speak French and was not proficient in English.So an interpreter came over immediately and began to build a bridge for the communication between the two.

"It really surprised me. Why can't I write such a good work when I look as old as you? You know, I'm a student at the Ecole des Ecole Supérieures, and even my tutor thinks I can You will become a qualified writer after [-] years. But he obviously doesn't know your age, and if he knows, he won't comfort me like that, which is really frustrating. Well, actually, I want to ask, are you not good at writing? What skills or tricks? If you can pass it on to me, then I will agree to associate with you, how about it, I think this is a suggestion worth considering."

After hesitating for a moment, the translator finally said the words in full, and after hearing these words, Yang Yi understood why the translator had such a strange face before, because he had encountered a more serious relationship with him. Weird, out-of-the-box girl.

However, this problem is obviously easy to solve: "Sorry, I don't have any tricks. My trick is to learn the culture of my own country from my mentor, and then delve deeper into these cultures. As for your suggestion, I must I have to say sorry for the second time, the flight to Huaxia is already booked at 09:30 in the evening, so we should have no chance to be together."

"Okay, it's really disappointing. If you suddenly change your mind at any time, I think you can contact me on icq. I'm on it almost all the time except for classes." The girl shook her head disappointedly, looking It seems that her interest in Yang Yi's work is far less than the writing itself.

After signing autographs for seven or eight readers in a row, when the young man looked up again, he found that there was no one in front of him. Due to the problem of language communication, the queue of readers ahead of him is far shorter than the queues of the other four authors.

However, this also gave him a chance to go on a short errand. Facing such a beautiful spring, and Paris that he had never been to before, Yang Yi was naturally happy to appreciate it more.As for the issue of propaganda, it was Gallimard's turn to worry about it anyway, so it was not his turn to worry about it.

Alternating between admiring the scenery and signing autographs for readers, the morning passed quickly, but because the autograph session only started at 10:30 am.So in fact it was just over an hour.

After the lunch arranged by Gallimard, a group of people returned to the square.It was still the same kind of signings in the morning, watching them come one after another.For the readers who left one after another, Yang Yi couldn't help but think of the book signings organized by Yang Yi Culture. Whether it was himself, Su Wan, Yang, or other authors under Yang Yi Publishing, almost all of them were signing books. There are some interactions with readers during the process. Of course, this kind of interaction is also carefully designed and arranged by him, so the whole thing is often a small gathering of literature lovers after a book signing.And the sales results are also exceptionally good.

As for Gallimard, one of the largest large-scale publishing groups in Europe, although it was established many years earlier than Yangyi Culture, this publishing house is obviously not the opponent of the reborn in this kind of marketing, and it completely adheres to the European literary circle. , both authors and readers have a tradition of quietly writing and reading books, and even the signing event is so calm.

The difference between the two cannot be said to be better, but in terms of sales performance alone, Yangyi Culture undoubtedly beats Gallimard.

soon.Signing started again, and this time, Yang Yi had many more readers in front of him, and it seemed that he could almost catch up with the other four authors.The one with the fewest readers.However, the other four are native French writers, and people's pursuit of them is undoubtedly far more than that of Yang Yi.So the young man is not in a hurry at all now, on the contrary, he is a little worried when there are too many readers.It's not easy to face that colleague.Although it is said that the victory does not come from the transfer of the strong, but if it really catches up with the opponent's number of signings.It's kind of embarrassing to meet.

In the next hour, it was also said that Yang Yi's prediction turned into reality. There were almost 30 people in the team filmed in front of the boy, but there were still more than [-] people on the other side.

With a sigh, winner and loser, although the competition between them is not so fierce, but Gallimard certainly doesn't think so.But Yang Yi finally calmed down his mood, and turned to sign the readers honestly.

After signing more than a dozen people, when it was the turn of the next reader, the young man just raised his head when he heard a familiar voice: "Hello, are you a writer from China?"

Hey, fellow countryman again?

However, the meeting with this fellow was obviously much more relaxed and enjoyable than the previous one, at least I didn't let myself see the difficulties of my compatriots outside.

So Yang Yi quickly took a closer look at the past, only to find that it was a man in his 40s, who seemed to be working outdoors all the year round, so his face was black and red and shiny, but under this black and bright face , indeed a face that makes people feel kind involuntarily: "Hello, I'm here in France for a cultural exchange. I didn't expect to meet fellow villagers. It's really rare. By the way, this "Stone" Was it you who wrote it? I read it, and it’s really good.”

Do cultural work?

Doing cultural work as if you have just read this book, uncle, don't you get close again?And judging by your dark and red face, you don't look like someone doing cultural work.

The young man who is well versed in the temperament of the Chinese people maintained certain doubts about the man's cultural exchange work, but in the warm and straightforward smile of the other party, he let go of the little opinion in his heart and began to seriously sign for the other party.

"It's really good, thank you, I hope you can write more and better works in the future, and become a cultural ambassador for exchanges with other countries in the world..." The man may not know that Yang Yiyi slandered him verbally. This call had the tone and style of a foreign official, which made Yang Yi doubt his previous judgment.

Then the man's next words made him understand why the other party's complexion was so healthy: "I am from far away Tibet. It is really not easy to be able to read the words from the country in such a far foreign country. , By the way, a colleague of mine also likes your work, can you sign him here too?"

As the man spoke, he took out something from a briefcase he carried with him.

Regarding this request, Yang Yi naturally has no objection. Although according to Gallimard's arrangement, only readers who have purchased the book can enjoy the author's autograph treatment, but at any rate, this person in front of him is a fellow townsman, so he should be given preferential treatment no matter what. That's right.

The young man smiled and waited for the man to take out the things, but when the man really spread out the things in his hands, Yang Yi's face suddenly changed. (To be continued..)
