Chapter 54 Ranking List
Han Xiaoxiao plans to go to the bookstore.
She is smiling at Jiuquan. As for why she chose this online name, Han Xiaoxiao can't explain clearly.
She went to the bookstore to buy "84 Charing Cross Street".
She had read this book on Twitter.
However, in her opinion, as this book is very popular among book lovers, it is necessary to buy a paper book and hold it in your hands to read carefully. Some books can be read over and over online, but some books need to be read over and over again. Read it over and over again.
The book "84 Charing Cross Street" is it.
Their company is located in a bustling business center. There is an Internet celebrity bookstore nearby. The decoration style of the bookstore is great and has a strong literary and artistic atmosphere. Han Xiaoxiao comes over to read books from time to time, but she usually only reads books and does not buy books. Over time, she still felt a little guilty. She couldn't do it today, but she could walk in openly today because she wanted to buy books.
The bookstore has a small facade, but it is designed with three floors in the air. It can spiral up to the third floor along the gentle slope. It is a great design. When Han Xiaoxiao entered the bookstore, there was a book signing in the lobby on the first floor of the bookstore. The signboard was Yuan Fang, a backpacker writer who likes poetry and distant places. The content of the book is all about poetry and some magical things encountered in distant places. And moved people.
Han Xiaoxiao used to like reading his books.
However, it’s okay to read one of his books, or two or three, but it won’t be good if you read too many. The chicken soup tastes good, but drinking too much will make you tired.
Of course, it’s good to have a change of taste once in a while and use it as a pastime.
Han Xiaoxiao saw the long queue and gave up the idea of buying a book and getting it signed.
She searched around the new book sales in front. Most of Yuan Fang's new books were placed on the table, almost taking up more than half of the entire new book sales cabinet. "84 Charing Cross Street" was in a corner, with a total of three stacks. Get out some.
It seems to be selling well.
Of course, compared to writers like Yuan Fang who have their own traffic, they are far behind.
At the new book hot-sale section, there is a sign with the "New Book Hot-Selling List This Week" for readers shopping for new books to learn about the latest hot-selling new books. Yuan Fang's "The Distance" topped the list.
As for the newly released "84 Charing Cross", it naturally didn't even reach the tenth place.
Han Xiaoxiao was about to get a book when a little girl with a bow on her head took the first one, "Hey, I heard this book was written for the Big Devil. Didn't you just say that the Big Devil is super cool a few days ago?" of!"
Her companion pulled her over and said, "You can watch it online, no need to buy it."
The little girl with a bow tie asked her companion: "Have you read it online?"
Her companion stopped her and asked her. With so much gossip, who else would read such a long article except those who really like reading. She urged the bow-tied girl, "The big devil is so good at singing. Come on, Yuan Fang is signing books and selling books. It's very commemorative."
She took the little girl with the bow tie away.
Little girl with bow tie put down the book again.
Han Xiaoxiao picked up the book and lamented that even the big devil would be a little inferior in away games. However, this book is good, and she believes that one day, this book about the devil will be on the best-selling list.
When "84 Charing Cross Street" had a good prospect in China, Robin looked at the book in her hand and felt a deep sense of powerlessness. The book was translated and published as promised.
but!
This publicity is very interesting. It is said that an anonymous person from the East accidentally obtained these letters and compiled them into a book, recreating the legendary book relationship between an unknown writer in New York and a manager in London that spanned more than 20 years.
This completely changed the author!
Of course, the author’s name remains unknown.
Robiny went to the publisher, who said that this was a publicity strategy to make readers mistakenly think that the protagonist in the book existed in reality. .
This is more selling point.
Originally, in reality, it was touching enough to become a confidant after more than 20 years of writing letters without even seeing each other. Now, the letters have traveled to the East, and an Easterner has compiled and published them. Not to mention adding to the legendary nature of the book. Adds to the authenticity.
This kind of authenticity is enough to be regarded as a gimmick.
Robinney knows that this is a good job.
But what can she do.
People everywhere are xenophobic. This is a bad nature rooted in people and will not change due to cultural knowledge. In fact, xenophobia and discrimination are an instinct in people's hearts to protect themselves.
If this instinct disappears, either the person is a saint or not a human being.
Robinie’s biggest problem now is that she cannot explain herself to the country.
What can she say? It’s hard to sell books with you as the author. You let the publishing house promote you as the organizer, but the author’s signature on the book is still anonymous.
Does she know who got the copyright of this book? Does the devil care about the money?
She struggled for two days and had no choice but to talk to Susan on the phone first.
Susan had a headache after hearing this, "This is discrimination. Okay, I'll go see Li Yu tomorrow."
It's night in China now, but it's morning here in Robinia.
She hung up the phone, her heart dropped temporarily. After sweeping away the mess on the table that she didn't want to clean up, she made a piece of milk oatmeal and looked at her phone while eating. Since her divorce, her life has become so sloppy. .
As for the last time we took a break.
Other than reading the book "84 Charing Cross Street", she didn't gain much.
In other words, this book has gained a lot.
Influenced by "No. 84", Robini now likes to read more books, and she is no longer limited to work-related books, but has a wider range of readings. This has allowed her to discover many wonderful worlds and put her mind at ease.
"Um?"
Robiny suddenly scrolled down the tweets she had scrolled up and saw a book review about "84 Charing Cross Street".
Just when she was about to take a closer look, the doorbell rang.
Robinie was stunned for a moment, and then she got up and opened the door after hearing the doorbell ring again.
Her ex-husband stood at the door.
The ex-husband said: “Let me get my luggage.”
He has some things that he has not completely moved.
Robinie waved her hand and let her ex-husband in.
After the ex-husband entered, he almost tripped over the scattered shoes under his feet. He stood up straight and looked at the mess in the apartment, as well as the smell of fermented food and aged air in the air. He frowned: "You can't Clean up the house!"
Robiny closed the door and responded lightly: "Yes."
The ex-husband glanced at the milk on the table again, "I told you that this carton of milk was about to expire, and now it has expired."
Robiny said: "We are divorced!"
The ex-husband was stunned for a moment, and the air became quiet. He turned around and went to the bedroom. He quickly came out with a suitcase, "I'm leaving."
"Um."
Robinie responded.
boom!
The door is closed.
The air became quiet again.
