“Good guy!”
Before I got close, I could clearly see the neatly arranged “Lord of the Rings” books being placed into a square hill by the staff of the supermarket, and there were even books with the words “Magic Middle-earth/Special Price” hanging on it. Promotional banner.
On the shelf next to the hill of The Lord of the Rings are some of his other published works, such as “The Misty Record of Kyushu”, “Dragon Race”, “Ghost Blowing the Lantern”, “The Swordsman in the Snow”, etc. have been published in China Versions of the works can be found on the shelves, and the supermarket employees are very considerate to indicate in English next to the shelves that these works are also other works written by the author of “The Lord of the Rings”!
You must know that the “Chinese craze” set off abroad is more and more spread across Europe and the United States, and more and more foreigners are trying to learn Chinese pronunciation and reading and writing, even if they can’t understand these open pages full of They are all Chinese-language books, but that doesn’t prevent some true fans from swiping one back for collection.
And savvy foreigners have already found the international station of Longteng Chinese on the Internet, and they only need to watch some advertisements or spend money on it to see the translated Chinese works of interest into English.
Although the content translated into English will definitely have some incomprehensible words in some places, and some domestic hot memes may not be understood by foreigners, but this will not affect the normal reading experience of a work.
It’s just that such a serious treatment Li Chungang is rare even in some bookstores in China. At most, he piles best-selling books in conspicuous places and puts up some promotional posters. The “weakened version” of the battle is not as atmospheric and thoughtful as others in every aspect.
Just ask: In Milliken, whose native language is English, a writer from China can actually make the supermarket Aiwu and Wu put all the works on the shelves for sale.
You must know that Manjinghua Publishing Company currently has almost zero publishing channels abroad. It is conceivable that this supermarket must have spent a lot of effort in order to obtain these books that have only been published in China.
“Does every best-selling author’s published book supermarket have such a large display space, or did they deliberately toss it out for the effect of the program recording?”
As a native of Milliken, Thompson, who has more say in this issue, immediately replied after hearing this question: “It shouldn’t be deliberate, you look at other people’s books in front of you, they are basically arranged like this. .”
Sure enough, about two meters away is another hill made of books. It was the top of the New York Times bestsellers, Wall Street Magazine, Publishers Weekly and other newspapers bestseller lists last year by Alice Sieber. “The Lovely Bones” by De.
The book is published by the Little Brown Company.
It was once named “Millikin’s Best Novel of 2021”, and it was on the New York Times bestseller list immediately after its publication in 2021, and it remained at the top of the list for nearly 30 weeks, with a cumulative global sales of 670 million copies in 4 months. Two months later, it won the “Sun Never Sets Country Book of the Year Award”, and ranked second in the “2021 Best Books of 2021” by Gaul Country’s “Reading” magazine.
Alice Seabold is like an accidental gain in Millikin’s literary world, and Millikin’s media praised her as “the most promising writer”.
And her book “Lovely Bones” is still highly sought after in Milliken even after more than a year. Normally, even the works of best-selling authors are sold on the market after more than a year. It’s all the ones that are sold steadily in a small number, and they will never be as big as Alice Seabold.
Of course, this is the “special treatment” that can only be enjoyed in Milliken, just like Li Chungang himself is not like this in China. Today, the published book of “Ghost Blowing Lamp” is still one of the best-selling books in bookstores everywhere!
“Old… The people of Milliken who are living a good life are good. This supermarket is too big, with a large area and waywardness. You can do whatever you want with a book.”
Li Chungang almost said that in front of Thompson, the authentic old beauty, he said the habitual name for the people of Milliken in China, “Old Beauty”. Fortunately, his reaction was fast enough and it was rounded up at once. In addition, Thompson’s Chinese is also half a bucket of water, so it should be difficult to hear.
Looking at this huge supermarket, he had the idea of taking a good look at the mall, but at this time, the filming of the program was basically ready, the furry radio had been raised high, and the cameraman was sitting in the car on the track to try. See which angle the shot is more effective.
Such a big gesture excited the group of customers who had not received any news beforehand. They seemed to have forgotten about shopping and focused all their attention on the film crew.
The staff of the Ellen Show program team are also very happy. Isn’t their original intention of going out to be able to capture the most authentic reactions and performances of the audience?
“3, 2, 1,!”
Accompanied by the voice of the live director, Allen, the show host, first appeared in front of the camera.
It seemed that he was still very tired just now, but it seemed to be “resurrected” in an instant when the recording started!
“Hi, everyone, I’m your good friend Alan. Today we have a special guest on our show. You may not know his name, but you must have heard of his books. Chungang Lee, author of The Lord of the Rings, welcome!”
Li Chungang was clearly three steps away. Hearing this, Li Chungang stepped into the camera. He hugged Alan and said, “Thank you for your invitation. I’m very happy to be on the Alan Show!”
“Wow!” Alan pretended to be the first time they met, “You are too young!”
This exaggerated acting looks extraordinarily joyful, and at the same time expresses the hearts of the audience.
Li Chungang himself is not very old, and Asians generally seem to be handsome, he looks younger than many high school students in Milliken.
“It’s not my fault to be young. For example, you can praise me for being handsome.”
Allen grinned, “This is our guest today, some viewers may not know, but Li Chungang’s “The Lord of the Rings” has held the No. Would you like to ask if you have any secrets to share with the audience?”
“The secret is probably to think about the title of the book, write it out, publish it, and finally win the championship.” Li Chungang also understands the essence of this kind of entertainment program, which is called “variety show” in domestic terms. I deliberately answered in a light and airy tone that couldn’t be simpler, which made it seem more compelling and a little more Versailles.
“So easy? It seems that the title of the book I thought was inappropriate.”
“Most likely.”
Allen and Li Chungang walked slowly forward side by side, just like a pair of ordinary friends walking and chatting in the supermarket.
“By the way, I heard that you were welcomed by thousands of readers and fans when you were at the airport today. This treatment is better than many Hollywood stars. I really hope that one day I can have as many fans as you. “
Li Chungang spread his hands and said, “Thank you, but Ellen, you are already very good. You are the best host in all of America, no one, and I saw your performance at the Oscars this year. To be honest, you are very good. Great!”
In fact, these links are helping Li Chungang to tout, and Li Chungang also understands the importance of business mutual praise, and we have to support each other.
Everyone likes rainbow farts, and Allen is no exception, no matter how much praise is given.
That’s why Random House and Universal put him on the Ellen Show.
“Look, what I found!”
Alan pointed to the books piled up like a hill in front, and then picked up one from the top, “OMG, this book is quite heavy, it only costs $79, do you want to buy a set?”
Milliken’s books are usually very expensive, magazines and weekly magazines are slightly cheaper, textbooks are the most expensive, and the most important thing is to reflect the degree of “priceless knowledge”.
Usually, the hardcover book, the so-called hardcover, will be released first, and the price is generally around 20 to 30 US dollars. It will be about ten dollars cheaper.
Therefore, the price of $79 for the three-in-one content of “The Lord of the Rings” is indeed not expensive, which is already the result of a sale!
“I have quite a few at home, but Alan, do you have this book? We’re friends, shouldn’t you buy a book to support my sales? Maybe it’s just one from you and I can continue in New York No. 1 on the Times bestseller list.”
Li Chungang didn’t play cards according to the routine at all. Usually, the guests would say that I will give you a set or something, but he asked Allen to buy it, which made the on-site director nod his head.
Allen shook his head, “But I think you can give me a set, why don’t you sign me on the cover, I’ll take it to Patrice as a gift.”
“That’s a good proposal, and Patrice will definitely love this gift!”
There was just a blank table and chair in front of me, and there was a black signature pen on it. Everything was no coincidence, it was pre-arranged by the program team.
When Li Chungang sat down, opened the title page of the book and began to sign, Allen suddenly took out a red loudspeaker: “We have Li Chungang, the author of The Lord of the Rings, here!”
The customers who were blocked by the staff were taking photos and videos with their mobile phones at the moment, screaming and shouting constantly, the Asian man sitting next to the book “The Lord of the Rings”, if they didn’t It would be stupid to know who Li Chungang is.
The lens of the other camera is dedicated to taking pictures of the onlookers. Some people even pulled the goods on the side shelves aside, just to be able to stretch out their mobile phone and head over to watch!
Allen actively mobilized these audiences and said: “In case you haven’t recognized him, let me introduce to you again, he is the author of the world’s best-selling magic masterpiece “The Lord of the Rings”, and now he is here to sign your book !”
When the staff pulled away to stop them, the customers in the supermarket couldn’t even care about their shopping carts, and rushed up one by one screaming like a wave of zombies.
Li Chungang and Allen were instantly surrounded by groups. Fortunately, the staff were well prepared to properly isolate those people who were too excited to be inarticulate.
It stands to reason that most of the people who like “The Lord of the Rings” should be teenagers, but all the middle-aged women who come here are all middle-aged women.
A middle-aged Caucasian woman stood in front of Li Chungang holding a cute little girl. Both mother and daughter were excited, not because of Li Chungang, but because of Alan next to her.
Li Chungang asked the little girl softly, “Hi, what’s your name?”
“Angela.”
The little girl had lost her front teeth. After saying her name, she hid behind her mother’s legs, timidly sticking out her head.
“Hello little angel, do you like reading books?”
The English name Angela is still quite famous in the world, the battle angel – Angela.
“like.”
“I guess you can’t understand it at your age, but you can take it home and give it to Dad, and let him promise to take you to the amusement park.”
“Thank you~”
The little guy was so shy that he didn’t dare to come out. In the end, her mother took over the signed book.
These works are not free, you have to check out after you get them!
Li Chungang thought that the show was almost over here, because he said before that he only needed to edit the content for about 10 minutes, but Allen took a copy of “The Lord of the Rings” from the side and put it in front of him, and read it at will.
“Li Chungang, what did you put in the book?”
Li Chungang, who was immersed in signing his signature, turned his head and saw that the middle of the book had been hollowed out, and a small blue can that was very familiar to people all over the world was actually placed in it.
There is no such link in the previous workbook!
“Oh, mygod.” Li Chungang could only continue to act together. At this moment, he felt that his acting skills were so exaggerated that he would blush.
Ellen on the side didn’t go anywhere, and he laughed a little: “I heard that in your country you like to call it ‘happy water’, which means that it can bring happiness to people after drinking it. I’m curious, do you all rely on drinking Pepsi to find inspiration when writing books?”
Listening to Allen reciting the three words “Happy Water” in broken Chinese, and after successfully deflecting Li Chungang, he couldn’t help laughing in the next second. There will be no NG to record this. It is the most real and direct feeling.
“He’s signed a lot, so, you know, he kind of needs to recover, it’s crazy!”
Standing in front of Li Chungang was a white old man~www.mtlnovel.com~ After hearing Allen’s words, he said, “I still have energy every day at my age because I often drink Pepsi.”
I don’t know whether this is a “trust” invited by the program team or a real consumer. This kind of advertisement placement is the most “hard-core” Li Chungang has ever seen. It is this way that the audience will not be disgusted. Anyway, He was amused by the other party’s straightforward performance.
Allen also said solemnly to the camera: “I’m sorry, but the other party’s bid cannot be refused, okay?”
Li Chungang was signing autographs for the customers here, while Alan was making trouble on the side, all kinds of tricks emerged one after another, and even picked up the megaphone and started reading a short book to those customers who couldn’t come to the front.
This is probably a scene that the audience likes to see, and Li Chungang cooperates very well.
The signing here is just a small test. After signing more than 20 people, I will stop and go to the signing meeting in downtown Los Angeles later.
After all, most of the people visiting the supermarket during this time are housewives, there are few young people, and they are not informed in advance.
