Chapter 2046： out of stock

Today's second update, please recommend, please subscribe!

Looking at the crowd in the bookstore now, Les-Renny also knew that today's sales will be very good, but the point is, because it is a book signing, the sales speed of the books will definitely not be very fast, because there are still There is a sign-off process included. Therefore, 50,000 copies in stock are definitely enough.

But Les-Reney apparently forgot one thing, Barnes & Noble has nine locations in New York, "They've taken 30,000 copies in stock, and if we don't prepare for tomorrow, we're going to be It's not enough," the cargo worker in front of him reminded Les-Renny.

Les-Raney suddenly realized that although the most lively one is the Fifth Avenue branch of Barnes & Noble, there are still a lot of people who can't squeeze in, so people are going to other parts of New York. Since I can't see Evan Bell for the first time and get an autograph, it is also good to be able to see the books created by Evan Bell for the first time. As a result, the inventory of other branches quickly ran out, and they all came to the Fifth Avenue branch of New York's largest inventory office to pick up books.

Later, Les-Renny thought again that the effect of Twitter was not limited to New York, but spread throughout the United States and even the world, so the result can be easily speculated. The situation of Barnes & Noble's Fifth Avenue branch can be seen in bookstores in many cities in the United States, so it seems that one million sales of the first edition are not enough.

Not enough? Les-Raney was taken aback by his own idea, and there are not many writers in the world who dare to publish a million first editions. And it is even rarer for writers to sell one million in a single day. J.k. Rowling's highest first-day sales record so far for the Harry Potter franchise is three million, but that's not the same. That is a huge group of book fans accumulated in the past ten years, but what about Evan Bell?

Evan Bell could sell 630,000 on the first day of the album's release - maintained by the album "Four", and Evan Bell could also make $67 million on the film's premiere day - by 'Batman: The Dark Knight' Holds On, But Sold Out A Million First Editions On The Book's First Day? is it possible?

Les-Renny is also not sure, because publishing is a completely different field from film and music, and the rules of operation here are completely different, not to mention that Evan Bell has no reputation as a writer- The three screenwriters of the Oscars are not counted, so it only depends on the support of Evan Bell's fans. Without word-of-mouth support, can the sales of novels work miracles? Les Rennie is skeptical.

But looking up and looking at the spectacular appearance of the crowd in front of you, people mistakenly think that this is not the Barnes-Noble Bookstore, but the Washington Square when "Long Live" first appeared, or the Rockefeller on the Millennium New Year's Eve. square. As a result, Les-Renny's "skepticism" began to be uncertain.

Is it. Can "one day" sales really break through a million and get publishers to start printing a second edition? "

While Les Rene was swaying, Evan Bell was a little helpless. He really felt that there was no need to make such a big fanfare about publishing novels and becoming a writer. For Evan Bell, a writer is closer to work such as a psychologist and an architectural designer, and is very professional. Relying on his professional knowledge to impress people, Evan Bell has absolute confidence in his music and movies, but he is really unsure about the creation of novels.

Evan Bell was originally a lover of reading, imagine. Readers read epics like "The Lord of the Rings" or epic masterpieces like "One Hundred Years of Solitude". Or a work that is worthy of repeated reference, such as "Reminiscence of the Years Like Water", the sense of satisfaction cannot be expressed in words, but will be constantly rubbing on the page, feeling the connection between each type and oneself. But on the contrary, if you read a work of insufficient standard, you will feel very regretful. The same text, different arrangements and combinations can produce far different effects, and even make people give up halfway and cannot bear to continue reading.

The work "One Day" is not so much a novel written for publication, but rather an essay in which all emotions and thoughts are precipitated after inspiration bursts. If these readers only support the novel because of the name of "Evan Bell", then it will be difficult for them to feel the true feelings in this novel, which will make Evan Bell feel very sorry. Of course, if readers buy novels just to support Evan Bell, but they call it "crap" when they get it, this is even more not Evan Bell's original intention.

In Evan Bell's view, buying books is a very special thing, because paper books are not a file that can be deleted on a computer at any time, but a special item with commemorative significance. Evan Bell's love for books can be seen from the bookshelves in Evan Bell's home. If you buy a book you don't like or don't read at all, that's definitely not a good thing.

Therefore, the crowd in front of him, the more lively, the more Evan Bell feels that he has deviated from the track he originally expected. But Evan Bell is just thinking about it, he knows that he is also a bit hypocritical. If he really doesn't want people to come and buy books because of his name, then he can create under a pseudonym, or don't organize today's book signing; since he published the book under his original name, he participated in the book signing again. , the spectacle in front of you is what was expected. Evan Bell couldn't help but feel a little funny, and he really still has a literary fan of pretending.

Pressing down these hypocritical commotions in his heart, Evan Bell cheered up and threw himself into the signing ceremony. Since "One Day" has been published, he will calmly accept the public's review. This is actually no different from music and movies. The public will come to watch the fun because of the name "Evan Bell", but if they don't like it, they will still not be merciful, and they will not pay for books. . The reasoning is still the same.

As for the pomp of the "Five" signing, Evan Bell can only laugh at it. Evan Bell has participated in many signings, but it used to be an album, but today it is a novel, and the carrier is different. After an hour of signing, Evan Bell only signed less than 200 people, and there are still a large number of fans coming in behind. Such enthusiasm makes people see the scene of Fifth Avenue during the discount season, and even more. crazy.

After the one-hour signing, Evan Bell did not leave immediately, but asked Les Renee for a loudspeaker, and said to the fans who were constantly whispering in front of him, "Attention, please pay attention. Okay? This is a bookstore, please keep quiet, although it's not easy." Evan Bell smiled after saying that, and about 800 people at the scene also laughed lightly, "I'm here today to participate. At the signing, I didn't expect a scene like this, so first I have to say thank you."

In the Internet age, Evan Bell experienced the power of instant messaging platforms like Twitter or Weibo for the first time, and he had to sigh. The speed of this summoning is also too fast, it is comparable to the grand summoning technique.

In fact, the scene was not noisy at first, it was just a suppressed noise, so when they heard Evan Bell's voice, everyone quickly quieted down and looked at Evan Bell who was standing on the second floor. . "Today, I'm here, just a writer, a first-time writer," Evan Bell said, "While I hope everyone likes my work, I know it's impossible. The scene laughed again, "So, those who like it hope that you can find resonance in the book, and those who don't like it, even if you don't sell me, I won't be sad. Of course, if you are willing to collect it, except for me. , publishers and bookstores will all smile.”

Evan Bell's straightforward words made everyone at the scene laugh, and even Les Renee and others couldn't help but smile.

"Thank you all for your support, I think I'll have to re-read it when I get home today, and criticize myself before you make any comments, so that I don't have a heart attack when I see the book review." Evan Bell speaks Always with a mocking smile, the laughter at the scene continued one after another, "Finally, today's book signing is over Thank you all for being there, even if you are not interested in my novel. , and I hope to find a suitable book in the bookstore."

Evan Bell originally planned to go shopping in the bookstore and flip through some relatively new books, but now this battle is obviously impossible. Evan Bell can only give up.

Teddy Bell escorted Evan Bell and left the Barnes & Noble bookstore under the **** of more than 800 fans at the scene. After the two returned to the car, Teddy Bell showed a big smile, and there was even some smugness in this smile. He thought of Evan Bell and stretched out his hand, "You lost."

Evan Bell reluctantly rummaged through his pocket, found a dollar, and put it in Teddy Bell's palm. Teddy Bell put away his palms, his smile still undiminished, "Eden is right, you are indeed hypocritical." In fact, Eden Hudson's original words were pretending.

"Teddy! You and Eden have learned badly." Evan Bell said gloomily.

Before coming to the signing, Eden Hudson made a bet with Evan Bell that today's signing would be a hit, even without any publicity. Teddy Bell was on Eden Hudson's side. Evan Bell said it was impossible at the time, but he now knows that he is hypocritical. This is a fact.

Teddy Bell started the engine and said seriously, "I'm just stating a fact." Evan Bell, who was sitting next to him, was stunned, unable to say a word of rebuttal.
