Listening to Grey Lennon's firm words, Evan Bell didn't care, just frowned slightly and asked, "Are you my fan or movie fan?" After saying this, he paused, " I know I'm narcissistic, as I should be." This candor made Grey Lennon laugh out loud.

Although Grey Lennon is at least the generation of Uncle Evan Bell in terms of his age, when he looks at Evan Bell, he always looks at the boy with equal eyes, and even needs to look up. Because this young man always has infinite brilliance and talent, which makes people involuntarily impressed.

"Yes. Eighth year." Grey Lennon did not deny it, but admitted it proudly. Evan Bell immediately clapped his hands and said cheerfully, "Aha!" The subtext was that I caught you. Those compliments just now were all because you were my fans.

Grey Lennon didn't explain it either, he just opened the first page of "One Day", "I wonder if you can sign me an autograph?" Grey Lennon handed the book to Evan Bell. Vin-Bell took it and said with a smile, "That's the point of the signing, isn't it?"

Grey Lennon looked at Evan Bell's brushstrokes and said his name, "Grey Lennon", and then watched as Evan Bell signed his signature first, and then wrote Grey on it. - Lennon's name, in less than ten seconds before and after, Grey Lennon went on to say, "Although I have loved your music and movies for many years, this is the first autograph you gave me. ."

Evan Bell raised his head, looked Gray Lennon up and down, and said with a smile, "I'm not surprised." Gray Lennon looked like a middle-aged gentleman with a successful career, even if he was his own Fans, but it's impossible to crowd with a young man for an autograph, which really doesn't look like they would do it. Thinking of this, Evan Bell lowered his head and wrote a sentence in the space between the names of "Evan Bell" and "Grey Lennon", which was a few seconds before and after, Evan Bell said. Bell finished writing and handed the book to Grey Lennon, "I hope you like it."

Grey Lennon opened the page and saw that it said, "To the most special first time, to you, to me." This was indeed the most special first time, not only in Grey Lennon's life It was the first artist autograph and also the first book and autograph that Evan Bell sold as a writer in history.

In the long, long time in the future, this "One Day" book has a collectible value among Evan Bell's fans. Grey Lennon tried to put the book on the website for valuation, and the price was hyped to 300,000. Dollar. You know, the "one day" book in hand is only fourteen dollars and ninety-nine cents.

Grey Lennon closed the book again and said with a smile, "I'm lucky, today's book signing will definitely be busy, and there are not many opportunities for me to have time to talk to you." At that time, there was already a queue behind Grey Lennon. Although Les-Renny didn't say anything, there were not too many customers in the bookstore at this time. The staff naturally couldn't wait to come and line up, so close contact with chalk. Evan Bell's opportunity is not common.

Evan Bell looked at the team of about ten people behind Grey Lennon and said in an exaggerated tone, "Yes, it will definitely be busy."

Gray Lennon didn't refute, just smiled, gave his seat to the person behind him, and walked aside with the book. Find a place, sit down, and get ready to start reading the book quietly. But before the official reading, Grey-Lennon still took out the Phwne in his pocket and took a photo of the book's cover and signature page, and then uploaded them to Facebook and Twitter respectively, and then he settled down and started reading. this novel.

When Les-Renny showed up with a glass of warm water and a plate of cookies, he was stunned by the hot lottery in the bookstore. In fact, it is an exaggeration to say that the lottery is hot. At this time, there are more than 30 guests in the bookstore. All of them are lined up in front of the desk signed by Evan Bell on the second floor. The scene is indeed very lively now.

After all, Les Rennie was the manager of the bookstore, and he had seen more lively scenes countless times, so he hurried up to the second floor and handed over the warm water and cookies to Teddy Bell before returning to the room. to the first floor. Looking at his watch, it was only 9:25. "There are five minutes left, why did Evan start?" Les-Renny asked the staff around him.

"Evan said it doesn't matter." The staff replied.

Les Rennie nodded. With Evan Bell's personality, he really didn't care about these things. "Why are there so many people suddenly?"

The staff in front of me is a student from New York University, who just came here for a part-time job. Obviously, they have a good understanding of young people's things. "Twitter has been completely lively, saying that Evan signed the news here. It's already in the top 10 trending topics.

Tweet, Les-Rini did not expect that it would be passed through such a platform. In fact, Twitter took off at the beginning of the year. On January 15th, an American Airlines plane crashed into the Hudson River near Manhattan, and a netizen on Twitter immediately posted the message "I just saw a plane crash. In the Hudson River", the news spread all over the Internet within 20 minutes, and the traditional formal media was the fastest "New York Times", "New York Times" than Twitter's No. 1 A message was a full fifteen minutes late.

With the rise of YauTwbe and Facebook, Twitter, which played an important role in last year's presidential election, has completely entered people's attention. Less than ten minutes after Grey Lennon announced on Twitter that Evan Bell was releasing a new book and holding a book signing, it became a trending topic, and people around 5th Avenue got the news. , whether it was curiosity or fan mentality, they all ran over. So, there is such a lively scene in front of you.

In fact, Twitter is different from other media or publicity methods, because the information shared on Twitter is completely shared by netizens after personal experience, and the culture of this information sharing is completely different from the media. of. Taking the incident of the American Airlines plane crashing into the river as an example, if a reporter takes a photo, it must be to win more interests for the newspaper and magazine they work for, and may even submit it to the Pulitzer jury for the hope of winning, or Selling news in a chalk-sale way. But the Twitter platform is just a way of sharing information. For a long time when the American Airlines plane crashed into the river, there was no traffic congestion at the location of the accident. This is the biggest difference between traditional media and Twitter.

So, although Evan Bell did not do any special propaganda, but because of the information sharing in this information age, it has become a hot topic on Twitter, which is a pleasant surprise.

By 9:30, the lobby on the first floor of the bookstore was completely occupied by long queues. According to visual estimation, there were at least 300 citizens lining up here. At this time, it was only more than 20 minutes before Grey Lennon released the news that Evan Bell signed the sale here.

Les-Rini was dumbfounded at the scene in front of him, and had to sigh that he seemed to be behind the times. The reason why publishers and bookstores are not worried is, in the final analysis, their confidence in Evan Bell. Even if there is no publicity, but relying on Evan Bell's strong appeal, at least "one day" of publishing will not lose money, as for the first edition of one million copies can be sold out, this is another matter.

At this time, many news media have learned the news from Twitter, and all of them have flocked to the Fifth Avenue Barnes & Noble Bookstore. Evan Bell, this guy who never played his cards according to the rules, from Broadway to psychology, from movies to music, from architecture to fashion, has now started to get involved in the field of writers again. This is definitely the best news, more What's more, the craze of the 81st Oscars has not completely dissipated, and people's admiration for Evan Bell can definitely be described as a surging river.

But, on the other hand, what kind of book would Evan Bell create? What is the quality of this book? Is it still maintaining a high level? And what kind of sales results will this book achieve? What about word of mouth? This has become the focus of curiosity of reporters.

By ten o'clock the long queue had already lined up outside the door of the bookstore. Barnes & Noble Bookstore had not seen such a scene for many years, and it is estimated that only JK Rowling issued "Harry" -Potter" series can be comparable.

It took only forty-five minutes from Mencrow to the crowds of people, and the people on Fifth Avenue seemed to witness a miracle: a man appeared out of thin air at the door of Barnes & Noble Bookstore. At this time, there were at least 500 people crowded at the entrance of the bookstore. If the customers inside the bookstore were included, there were more than 800 people. It was absolutely crowded, and the lottery scene was almost reminiscent of Rockefeller Plaza, where the New Year's Eve countdown.

Les-Raney was no longer shocked at this time, because he had to cheer up and organize all the staff of the bookstore to maintain the queue order on the scene, and the busyness of the checkout counter made people sweating profusely. . Looking at the nearly endless sea of people in front of him, Les-Renny only felt that New York in March seemed to be able to bake him.

Les-Renny couldn't even find time to take a sip of water to relax. He was thinking that the signing was originally scheduled to end at 10:30, but looking at the situation, could it really end at 10:30? But at this moment, the staff who went to the warehouse to get the book came over, "Les, our stock may not be enough."

"What? Isn't there 50,000 copies?" Les-Renny was taken aback.
