Plans often fail to keep up with changes.

In the original plan, Li Chungang would arrive at the bookstore on time at four o'clock, and then sign up for an hour and a half. In my personal opinion, I think that fan readers are the parents of food and clothing.

It's not like some writers will inevitably have the shameful behavior of raising a bowl to eat meat, putting down chopsticks and scolding mother.

Grace pushed open the glass door of Starbucks and went straight into the bookstore. After all, the two stores are connected.

The bookstore is as high as three floors, and the space inside is far more spacious than it looks from the outside, but the bottom floor is already crowded with people at this time, so that those who really want to come in and buy books have to squeeze too much. obstacles to reach the destination.

There are even some people lying on the railings on the second and third floors bored reading books or playing mobile phones, they are all quietly waiting for the arrival of that man!

After a few minutes, the various escalators were stopped, and two staff members appeared at each entrance to maintain order. On the first floor, there were Random House staff, B&N staff, and hired security guards. People from three different companies in the company came forward together to maintain order.

Looking at this situation, something big must have happened, and those lazy readers couldn't help but look up at each other and inquire, wondering what happened.

"I'm very happy to inform everyone that the book signing of "The Lord of the Rings" author Li Chungang will be held an hour earlier, which is scheduled to start at 4 pm. Please line up consciously, and our signing ceremony will start soon!"

In the bookstore's broadcast system, a sweet female voice repeated it twice, and the excited screams and shouts of the readers directly overwhelmed the broadcast sound, and many people even subconsciously jumped up to celebrate!

When Li Chungang arrived at the B&N bookstore, the readers who had been waiting for a long time immediately cheered!

There were very few aunties who had met in the supermarket before recording the show. When he came to the bookstore, it was like returning to the home game. It was the same as Kobe Bryant returning to the Lakers' home game. As long as he is not blind, he can't be a person.

Of course, different groups will have different perceptions, which is the generation gap.

There is no essential difference between Aunt Milijian and a mother in China. Compared to paying attention to the author of a certain book, they are more concerned about the trivial matters of daily life such as chai, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and tea. A book signing is probably not as attractive as a certain commodity or a discount event in a certain supermarket.

If it weren't for the different skin tones and different languages ​​in his mouth, he would have thought it was in the country.

As a foreign writer, it must be a lie to say that he is unhappy with so many fans in the largest bookstore in downtown Los Angeles!

"I thought that most of the people who came to the signing party were local Chinese or Asians, but I didn't expect such a small proportion." Li Chungang communicated with Thompson in surprise. At this moment, there were four burly men in suits around him. , walking in front of him and escorting him to the signing table, and Zhong Guo, who was the real bodyguard, was officially transferred to become the "Boss's Wife Bodyguard" at this moment, otherwise he wouldn't worry about He Miao being alone with so many people on the scene.

The charm of some people is able to cross the racial barrier, and he doesn't care if it is in the eyes of his lover, but He Miao is well-deserved in his eyes...

The best looking in the world!

It was the first time that he was hugged by so many bodyguards, giving him the illusion that he was a superstar!

"Lee! I love you!"

"Ah! Ah! When will the new book be released!"

"The Lord of the Rings is so beautiful!"

"I bought five copies of The Lord of the Rings and gave one to the whole family, it's so well written!"

"..."

"You are my favorite Asian, Lee!"

"Li, this is my contact information!"

"Li! I'll be waiting for you in room XXX of the XXX hotel tonight!"

Some enthusiastic fans and readers even threw some personal items in the direction Li Chungang walked. In the corner of Li Chungang's eyes, he even saw a piece of underwear that women would wear, consisting of two pieces of cloth and several straps. The trajectory of the past, frightened him to quickly take several steps forward to open a safe distance for the first time.

I used to see comments on the Internet from time to time that the people of Milliken are very warm and generous. If you go to the beach in a city like Miami, you can see a lot of naked Americans who show their bodies can feast your eyes. Li Chungang is still a little skeptical, but Now he says he believes it, 100%!

Don't say it's in a place like the beach, in a bookstore, you dare to throw out your underwear casually, what do you think?

The location of the bookstore happened to be in the bustling area of ​​Los Angeles. Many passers-by looked at it when they saw the movement. The passers-by who were not clear about their posture might really think that a certain star was present.

It's not uncommon to see celebrities in Los Angeles, but many tourists rarely encounter this opportunity in their lifetime.

Tourists from any country know that Hollywood exists.

In particular, a red double-decker tourist bus happened to be driving slowly at this time. The tourists on the upper floor were taking pictures with their mobile phones and cameras, and now of course they will not miss a good opportunity to take pictures of celebrities!

Regardless of whether he recognizes him or not, even if he can only see the back of his head, he has to take a photo!

"Thompson, you Millikens are too warm."

After finally breaking out of the siege under the **** of a group of bodyguards, Li Chungang couldn't help but complained to Thompson beside him when he was still safe.

It's a pity that Thompson, who was playing the qin to the cow a little bit, and half a bucket of water swaying in Chinese, couldn't hear the true meaning of the words. He thought that the other party was praising the people of Milliken. It's a testament to how popular you are in Millikin, so there's nothing wrong with this trip to Los Angeles, right?"

Although the sound was not too small, it was completely covered by the surrounding screams and cheers like a landslide and tsunami, and was not heard by Li Chungang at all.

The crowd was boiling. These young people with different skin tones and different hairs crowded over excitedly at this moment. If it wasn't for the security bureau to open the way around, I'm afraid Li Chungang wouldn't be able to walk at all.

The moment I entered the bookstore, I was surrounded by these enthusiastic readers and fans.

Milliken's readers are really enthusiastic. When Li Chungang stood in front of the small table prepared in advance, he picked up the microphone and said, "There are thousands of good works and thousands of good authors. Wan Wan, thank you very much for your willingness to waste your time on me, and I hope you can really enjoy the stories I write!"

Not much to say, the staff began to cooperate one after another, handing over the book, turning the page, turning the page, guiding the direction, and orderly. Obviously, it was not the first time to hold a signing meeting.

Li Chungang, on the other hand, was the one who accepted his fate and signed his signature. This is the essential work.

The first one who came forward was an excited white lad who didn't even seem to be an adult, and he said in a mosquito-like voice: "I like the book The Lord of the Rings very, very much, I think Frodo wrote it very well, and I can't help but imagine that I am him, and I hope that I can face difficulties and be brave and fearless like him."

After hearing the young man's words, after Li Chungang wrote his name on the title page of the book, he paused for a while and added the phrase "Tianxingjian, a gentleman is self-improvement", which is a well-known aphorism in China. With a smile, he explained the meaning of this sentence to the other party in English: "This is an encouraging word from China, which means that as long as you believe in yourself and keep fighting until now, God will see and protect you. And I believe that as long as you must It can be done, after all, a halfling can succeed, not to mention you!"

At this time, it is not suitable to put poisonous chicken soup, so Li Chungang poured some thick chicken soup into it, hoping that this loyal little reader of The Lord of the Rings can achieve what he wants.

"So what are you writing now in Elvish?"

"No, it's Chinese characters."

It's just that it looks extraordinarily ethereal, and it matches the handwriting of some old Chinese medicine practitioners, and even laymen can't understand it.

The skin on the little fan's neck instantly swelled red, and he asked in a low voice, "Can you sign me again in Elvish script? Please!"

Probably only white people can do this, Li Chungang really doubted whether the blood vessels of the young man on the opposite side would burst.

"One blood" is always a bit of a privilege, not to mention that it is not too difficult to write elvish texts, so let's try our best to meet the requirements of readers.

"You really keep it in your heart, it's great! Unfortunately, I can't learn pronunciation all the time. I really hope you can come up with a special Elvish language textbook. I'm definitely willing to buy it, and let the students in the class all come together. Buy!"

He seems to be so introverted. When talking to people, he always lowers his head and glances at his toes to distract himself, but when he talks in front of his favorite author, he talks endlessly.

Li Chungang nodded in cooperation, "I think this is fine, but I have to communicate with Random House first. Thank you again for your love of this book, and I hope this book can accompany you."

After the first fan, most of the following fans followed suit and asked him to sign in Elvish, even if he didn't understand it at all, but the more elegant and special font would be more flattering Like a little!

This time, Li Chungang's workload has increased a lot out of thin air. Not only has to write his own name, but he also has to write the fairy script again at the same time, and at the same time, he has to smile at every fan who comes with the book.

For him, it might be a day of signing thousands of books; but for those readers, it's the tedious hours of waiting for a writer.

——

Qi Yucheng finally found the opportunity to sneak out of the house. He made an appointment with another friend, Amy, to meet at the bus stop outside the block.

He had already come out now, but his friend Amy was nowhere to be seen, so he had to take out his mobile phone and call Amy.

"Hey Amy, this is James, where are you? Why didn't I see you here at the bus stop?"

As a second-generation immigrant, Qi Yucheng also has an English name called James Qi, a very famous name that can be said to be a bad street.

Because there are also LeBron James in the basketball field, James Cameron in the director field, five leaders named James in the history of Millikin, and so on...

You can say that the name James is bad, but you must not look down on people with the name James.

Qi Yucheng's father is indeed a diehard LeBron James fan, otherwise he would not have given his son such an English name.

There was a hoarse voice over the phone, which seemed to be changing, "Sorry, I really can't come out. My sister is still at home now."

Qi Yucheng said anxiously: "If we don't go, there may be no one at the signing ceremony, which will be very miserable. I must go there, are you sure you won't come?"

"If there are few people, can you help me get a signature too? Just write my name on the giver."

"traitor!"

Qi Yucheng hung up the phone extremely unhappily, then got on the bus alone, and came to the city center worried.

He has not paid attention to the New York Times bestseller list, but simply likes Li Chungang's works, plus his identity as a Chinese.

This time, if a cousin in China hadn't specially sent a message to ask Qi Yucheng to help him to sign the autograph, he would have no idea that Li Chungang was going to hold a signing meeting in Los Angeles.

Although Chinese Americans have outstanding top figures in all walks of life in Millikin, they still cannot change the discrimination in the general environment. Chinese Americans and even Asian Americans are almost at the bottom of the contempt chain.

Black people who are always clamoring for rejection of racial discrimination, in fact, secretly and explicitly transfer their hatred to discriminate against Asians!

Qi Yucheng thought that Li Chungang was not very famous, and he needed him to bring his friends to help support the scene.

He had just arrived at the bookstore in an annoyed mood at the moment, and was immediately completely shocked by the dense crowd here.

It's not that I haven't been here to buy books before, but why are there people lining up even outside the door?

"I'm sorry to bother you. Is Li Chungang's signing ceremony at this place?" Qi Yucheng summoned up the courage to ask, and even worried that the bookstore staff didn't know who Li Chungang was, so he deliberately added~lightnovelpub.net ~It's the Li Chungang who wrote "The Lord of the Rings". I heard that he will come over to sign the sale this afternoon. "

At this time, Qi Yucheng was still a little worried, the comparison is too tragic is not a good thing!

Who knew that the staff member glanced at Qi Yucheng, pointed to the winding line and said, "Go to the back to line up, these are all for Li Chungang to sign."

"They are all?"

The little guy's eyes widened, he couldn't believe this reality at all!

"Yes. These are all. If I were you, I must hurry up and queue up, otherwise there are hundreds of people waiting in line, and if I am later, I will probably miss this autograph."

"Thank you, I'll go right away!"

Now Qi Yucheng's mind is full of fog, co-author Li Chungang is so popular that he doesn't need to support himself at all?

He suddenly felt the grievance of being deceived. He originally thought that he liked a well-known local writer who was in urgent need of support, but it turned out to be an absolute celebrity!
