Six Hundred and Twentieth IX: Vigorous and Resolute

The people who were driving to the market did not know that news about Li Chungang had already been flying all over the sky at this time——

"News from the roadside news agency, Li Chungang appeared on CBS Television in Millikin, suspected of participating in the recording of the program"

"Ai Lun and Li Chungang sent blessings in surprise, and presented signing benefits when they appeared in the supermarket!"

"Foreign netizens broke the news in a video that Li Chungang was recording a program in a supermarket as a guest of this episode of Ellen Show. The scene was full of surprises and laughter!"

"Let's watch the live content of Li Chungang's recording of the Allen Show!"

There is no impenetrable wall in the world. Since the program group chose to record this episode of the program in a supermarket, it is bound to leak out.

There are also many people who know Li Chungang abroad. In addition, Allen, a celebrity who is almost a household name in Millikin, with a two-pronged approach, Reuters videos shot with mobile phones on Youtube, Instagram, and Twitter can be said to be flying all over the sky.

Chinese, overseas Chinese, overseas students, and even various media are always staring at social media. When Li Chungang made big news at the Los Angeles Airport, many media reporters who were belatedly and regretfully wanted to interview him. The qualifications for the interview could not be better. It is a pity that these media reporters have no channels to contact the guy. They are transferred to Wen Siquanyong through Random House. After several stations, even if they get in touch, they may miss the good opportunity of first-hand news. up.

Now it's hard to set foot on the land of Millikin, and the first job is to record a top talk show like the Allen Show, and the salary is really not low!

"Friends in Los Angeles are blessed, barnes & noble will hold Li Chungang's North American signing event."

"I'm envious of foreigners. I just signed the Lord of the Rings with Allen in the supermarket, and now I'm going to this bookstore. It's really hard work."

"When will the Ellen show air? I'm too patriotic and can't understand English?"

"Who will tell me what level of talk show the popular science Ellen show is, how is it better than Oprah?"

"If you have time to go to Millikin to appear on the show, why don't you show up in China as a running boy, Ben Tiantian Brothers or something, or is it better to say that everything abroad is better than domestic!"

On the Internet, there are all kinds of opinions with different opinions.

It's been so many years, and some people think that traveling abroad to participate in programs is unpatriotic.

Just as there are often keyboard warriors and trolls on the Internet who like to stand on the commanding heights of morality and "point and point" at other people, there are also people who like to stand on the righteousness of "patriotism" and look down on them. , Anyway, they are all looking for a high-sounding reason for their behavior.

Fortunately, most people are still clear-headed, and they are happy that Li Chungang is gradually going international.

What's more, even if he is "on business" abroad, Li Chungang's two novels in China have not been updated in the slightest. The sales performance of "Dragon Race" is also gradually increasing. All kinds of careers can be regarded as thriving, so why do you become a traitor?

However, this is not the first time these controversies have appeared. Since he became famous, all kinds of negative news have not stopped, but he has been submerged in the army of readers and fans. good.

At this time, the protagonist of the public opinion center is in a foreign country, and has no mood to pay attention to those "network giants" who are idle.

"Isn't it too early to go to the bookstore? We can rest next to it." Thompson suggested, "This time we plan to sign from 4:00 to 5:30, do you think it's okay?"

Li Chungang looked at the time on his mobile phone and said, "The recording of the program was faster than I expected. If the bookstore is ready, we can go directly to sign now, so as not to make readers wait too long."

It is not easy for him to come to Millikin, and he can sign as many points as possible.

Thompson was very surprised. He had heard Lin Meng complain about Li Chungang before, but he didn't expect to offer to sign for an extra hour!

The barnes & noble bookstore often has celebrities and big names come to sign books, but usually they sign for half an hour, allowing the media to take a photo and briefly interview one or two questions before leaving.

People like Li Chungang who are ready to sign for more than two hours are unique!

Of course, those people left early, perhaps because of the scarcity of readers.

If there are too few readers who come to support, instead of sitting there boringly playing with their mobile phones, it is better to leave early with a high profile, so as to avoid being ridiculed.

But there is no such thing as Li Chungang, because his number of readers cannot be underestimated.

Being able to take the top spot on the New York Times bestseller list for a few weeks is entirely the strength of the work!

With a single shot, he has now attracted the hatred of writers and publishing companies all over the United States. He can sell as much as he can, but he also gives others a chance!

Many publishing companies want to trip Random House and pull Li Chungang's works from the top of the throne, so it's unlikely that the New York Times bestseller list will be renamed Li Chungang's works list.

Thompson never told Li Chungang these things. There are too many swords and swords behind the scenes. Sending negative news and writing low-scoring reviews are just the simplest and most superficial.

Fortunately, Random House has a big business, and the title of the world's number one commercial publisher is not in vain, and the connections are excellent, otherwise Li Chungang's works would have been destroyed by the small actions of other competitors!

As far as the publishing company is concerned, it is enough for the writer to write a good book, and these things are their responsibility.

Thompson called a colleague in Los Angeles: "Grace, let the b&n bookstore get ready, Li Chungang has finished recording the Ellen show, and we will arrive at the bookstore before 15 o'clock to start signing .”

A sharp female voice came from the other end of the phone: "You can't do this, we have an agreement with the bookstore!"

"Ask the bookstore if you want to sell a few more books, and Li Chungang will wait until 5:30 as planned before leaving. In addition, the security pressure there is also quite high. The early start of the book signing can also evacuate the crowd earlier. "

In fact, he and Grace are not very familiar with each other. One is at the New York headquarters and the other is at the Los Angeles branch. They just cooperate with each other for the signing event in Los Angeles, and they don't want to lose face by arguing in front of Li Chungang.

"We will be ready. If you don't come at a certain time, the readers' emotions will definitely be unpredictable, so you must arrive on time!"

"There are still five minutes, you hurry up."

Grace hung up her phone in a hurry. She was the on-site person in charge of the signing event. She was sitting and drinking coffee at the Starbucks next to the b&n. Drank the iron in one gulp, and headed for the bookstore vigorously on high heels.

"Don't sit still, our work has started, and the signing will start early. You go to the signing table to maintain order, and I will communicate with the bookstore."

After being scolded, the group of people immediately stood up, followed quickly and asked questions.

"What happened, why did the signing start early?"

"Should we tell the readers now?"

"Is Li Chungang already here?"
