"Qinglian Sword Immortal, are you the Qinglian Sword Immortal?"
"Qinglian Sword Immortal, I am a fan of your books. I have purchased the complete set of your "Quest for Qin"!"
"Hello Qinglian Sword Fairy, I bought three sets of "Looking for Qin", can you sign it for me? No, don't sign the book, please sign my chest!"
"Can I take a picture with you?"
"Can I give you a hug?"
"Can I have dinner with you?"
The huge enthusiasm of the book fans made Li Qing a little uncomfortable. Looking at these chattering and excited book fans, it took him a while to come back to his senses.
Damn it, when I was a singer, I didn’t seem to have met such enthusiastic fans...
He became an author, but he enjoyed the treatment he should have received as a singer...
Did I make the wrong career change?
Li Qing couldn't laugh or cry.
Knowing that these book fans are his parents, Li Qing does not dare to neglect them. Under the protection of Cai Afen and other editors, he almost responds to every request, taking photos with them, hugging them, and signing autographs. As for that 28-year-old girl, she
Overly excited, Li Qing pretended not to hear the strange words he suddenly asked her to sign on her chest.
However, Li Qing, including editors such as Cai Afen, obviously underestimated the influence of the four words Qinglian Sword Immortal.
More and more people came from all directions. There were originally only forty or fifty people at the scene, but after just half an hour of detention, the number soared to hundreds.
Moreover, this number is still increasing!
Li Qing felt a little sweaty. He was not tired from signing, but was tired from having to maintain his facial expression.
Because he was constantly asked to take photos, many book fans even brought cameras and stood on tiptoes to take photos. In order to maintain his image, Li Qing had to keep smiling at all times...
So tired!
However, this situation did not last long.
The airport was obviously alarmed by this scene, thinking that some big stars or dignitaries were coming. After seeing the scene of hundreds of people surrounding them on the surveillance camera, they were immediately alarmed and dispatched more than a dozen security personnel in neat suits.
.
When the security personnel saw Li Qing, they immediately felt that the manager was right.
This should be a popular entertainment star in Taiwan or mainland China.
There is no way. In their opinion, such a handsome man is simply born to be in the entertainment industry. If he is not a star, I will swallow him!
So, the security guards surrounded Li Qing and walked towards the VIP exit passage.
Cai Afen and others were shocked that Li Qing could receive such grand security treatment at the airport. Having lived in Hong Kong for so long, they certainly knew what the VIP channel meant.
It is a VIP entrance specially set up for popular public figures in the entertainment industry and important politicians from various countries.
Where can ordinary people leave the airport through that passage?
But they didn't have time to think about it. After introducing themselves and others to the security personnel as Li Qing's work partners, and receiving Li Qing's nod of approval, they walked to the VIP channel with Li Qing.
Hundreds of book fans were blocked from the passage. They watched Li Qing and others disappear at the end of the passage with regret on their faces.
However, besides regret, I am more excited.
"This is the first time I've seen such a handsome writer like Qinglian Sword Fairy. I'm really going crazy! I find that all I can think of now is Qinglian Sword Fairy's handsome face!"
"He seemed to have a faint fragrance on his body, which smelled very good. I just hugged him, and I almost fell drunk in his arms!"
"Although I'm a little ashamed, I really want to take a bite of his face. He's just handsome. How come his skin is so good? Does he use cosmetics? Hey, he's more handsome than many celebrities and young students!"
"I'm afraid all the readers have never thought that Qinglian Sword Fairy, the author of "The Story of Qin", is so young and handsome. I think all readers will be surprised on the day of the book signing!"
"Yes, yes. I never expected that among mainland writers there would be such handsome people and such talents!"
"Ah, book signing? I almost forgot. Qinglian Sword Fairy came to Hong Kong just to hold a book signing. Glory Bookstore has been promoting this event for the past two days."
"It seems to have been broadcast on TV. On the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, which is February, at nine o'clock in the morning, the Green Lotus Sword Fairy Association will hold a book signing at the Glory Bookstore in Mong Kok."
"February issue? Isn't that tomorrow?"
While a group of book friends were discussing excitedly, Yun Hua finally waited for the publishing team to greet her.
However, only two editors came.
They saw Yun Hua from outside the airport lobby. The two editors looked overjoyed. They didn't expect to see the real owner as soon as they arrived.
However, what puzzled them was why Yun Hua's face was as black as the bottom of a pot...
"Just you two?"
Yun Hua frowned and finished speaking, then couldn't help but ask: "Didn't I say I would arrive at the airport before noon? You guys just came now, I've been waiting for forty minutes!"
The two editors heard something wrong with Yun Hua's tone, looked at each other, and said with a smile: "Well, there's a traffic jam on the road, and there's still half an hour until 12 noon..."
Yun Hua couldn't bear it anymore, but being in a different place, she could only continue to endure it.
The book fan who was expecting to greet him did not show up.
Her heart dropped.
Feeling extremely sad, Yun Hua secretly vowed that after this autograph session, she would never come to Hong Kong again.
Before leaving, Yun Hua couldn't help but look back at the book fans who were still lingering at the VIP entrance with despairing eyes, and she once again suffered a critical blow of +999 in her heart...
That handsome boy named Li Qing is actually a writer!
And in Hong Kong, he is actually more popular than me!
Thinking of those previous thoughts, Yun Hua's face became hot.
I just feel a burning pain...
So embarrassing!
So embarrassing!
…
After leaving the VIP entrance, Li Qing got into the seven-seater business nanny car driven by Cai Afen and others.
"Your autograph session is scheduled for nine o'clock tomorrow morning. Originally, the bookstore wanted to arrange it for this afternoon, but our editor-in-chief considered that you came all the way by plane and was tired from the journey, so we decided to schedule the autograph session instead.
The meeting is scheduled for tomorrow."
Cai Afen seemed to be still immersed in the excitement of being surrounded by people just now, and her tone of voice was joyful.
In the past two years as an editor, Cai Afen has never experienced such a grand scene just now.
It was simply unimaginable before that a writer in the literary and art circles could have such influence and popularity in Hong Kong.
"It's okay this afternoon. It only takes two or three hours to fly from the mainland to Hong Kong. It's actually not too tiring." Li Qing said with a smile.
Cai Afen said with some embarrassment: "The autograph sessions we have arranged for you will last for seven days, seven games in total..."
Li Qing hummed, but after realizing it, he asked in shock: "Seven days? Seven games? So many?"
"You may not know how popular the novel "Looking for Qin Ji" is in Hong Kong. Because we control the supply of goods, and the Hong Kong government has recently stepped up its crackdown on the book piracy industry, there are very few pirated copies of "Looking for Qin Ji" on the market.
.This also makes the sales and rentals of genuine copies of "Xun Qin Ji" very good, both at home and abroad."
"However, because of the existence of book rental channels, although sales have been rising steadily, they have never been able to achieve a substantial increase. This is because major bookstores are very optimistic about "Xun Qin Ji", and they also want to hit the single-month sales of the snail sales list.
For the record, our company has signed a cooperation agreement with the bookstore, and is planning to hold book signings to stimulate the market. The content of the agreement is that as long as you can hold book signings for seven consecutive days, then for every book sold this month,
"Xun Qin Ji", you can get 1% of the copyright income share..."
Listening to Cai Afen's introduction, Li Qing said with some surprise: "So, my royalty income this month is 11%?"
"That's right." Cai Afen nodded.
"Then if I hold a book signing for fourteen consecutive days, can my royalties reach 12%?" Li Qing suddenly asked.
When Cai Afen and others heard this, they immediately smiled bitterly and said: "This... I'm afraid we don't have the right to make adjustments."
Li Qing snorted and chuckled: "I was just joking..."
Seeing the joking look on Li Qing's face, Cai Afen and others couldn't help but laugh or cry. Then they remembered that although this Li Qing was quite sophisticated and talented, his age...
He seems to be only eighteen years old...
The sales volume of "Looking for Qin Ji" was so good that it made Li Qing feel very good.
That afternoon, he checked into the hotel prepared for him by the publishing house.
Later, accompanied by the editors, he went shopping in Hong Kong.
Everywhere he visited, he would compare it with the Hong Kong movies in his memory and observe Hong Kong society in the late 1990s.
During this period, he also saw a film and television crew filming a movie in the downtown area.
A group of young and Dangerous boys armed with machetes chased them down the street, causing the crowd to scream, and even police officers pointed guns at these young and Dangerous boys.
Li Qing was shocked at first, but after being reminded by Cai Afen and others that he was filming a movie, he started to look around at the cameras in confusion.
A few seconds later, under the instructions of the editors, he saw a camera set up in the window of a residential area, and then he breathed a sigh of relief with lingering fear.
Hong Kong, home to the Four Asian Tigers, was hailed as the dynasty of Asian films in the 1980s. It seems that it was not without purpose...
The time spent playing went by quickly.
After a night's rest, the next day, Li Qing and the editors came to the Honor Bookstore in downtown Mong Kok. (To be continued.)
