10.30 Signing report
More than a week has passed since the signing of October 30th. I saw a friend asking to introduce the situation at that time. So I decided to organize Lin Hai's memories, write the situation on that day in words, and send it out for everyone to see. It can be regarded as an explanation for those friends who cannot come to the scene in person.
Well, let’s start from the beginning. The signing for October 30 was not organized by a publishing house, but was organized by a bookstore where Lin Hai’s friend worked. Then they found the publishing house, and the publishing house’s reply was support. So the whole thing started planning since early October.
On the day of signing, Lin Hai was still a little frightened, afraid that the few people would even be unhappy in the seats. After lunch, he arrived at the signing site - Shi Jianshi Dashufang.
There were two etiquette ladies outside the store wearing ribbons and were sending flyers. Lin Hai walked in straight away. Then he found the supporter of the signing, who was also the planner, Lin Hai's friend. He took Lin Hai directly to the office of their bookstore to rest. At this time, Lin Hai glanced at the signing venue on the left side of the gate, and about 40 chairs were sitting straight on seven or eight people.
When I arrived at the office, I chatted with their manager. I didn’t expect that their manager was once a member of the Hefei team and a member of the Anhui Writers Association. Haha! There are a lot of common languages.
Then Gongzilan from Qingxin Chinese Network and Shao Ting, deputy webmaster of Tianying Literature Network, came together. They took a train from Xi'an yesterday to support Lin Hai. Speaking of which, this is the second time Lin Hai and Gongzilan have met. He is very tall, and Lin Hai has a little inferior in front of him, haha!
Shao Ting is a slightly shy person, but he is only like this when facing the first time. Because Lin Hai and him had talked to him a few times online, he quickly became familiar with each other.
Then, Mingmei, the author of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", called Lin Hai, asked the specific location, and rushed over. Basically, everyone was there, but the host said that there seemed to be not many people outside, so he postponed the signing for the booking at 2 o'clock for another twenty minutes. Taking advantage of this time, Lin Hai and others chatted together and talked about online literature with the enthusiastic manager.
Let me introduce Mingmei a little here.
How to say it, haha! Lin Hai and Mingmei have met for the second time. His gift is not tall, but very strong. He is a typical Sichuanese figure. Short hair, but very enthusiastic, and likes to joke. The black outfit on his body makes him look a little mature. You can't guess his real age when you look at his face (in fact, Lin Hai is still confused about his real age...sweat). Lin Hai is very grateful to Mingmei for coming to support him.
When the time was almost the same, Lin Hai and they walked out of the office and arrived at the venue. This time was different from when Lin Hai first arrived. The seats were already full of people, and people without seats stood behind. After Lin Hai and the host took their seats, they officially started the signing event.
The event was introduced by guests at the beginning. The host introduced Mingmei and Gongzilan respectively, and then asked Lin Hai to speak first. Lin Hai naturally thanked all the friends who came to support and those friends who were unable to come, because it was their support that Lin Hai persisted to this day. The most common thing he said was the word thank you. Thank you everyone!
Next was the time for friends to interact with Lin Hai, and asked a lot of questions, about caring about the ones, about champions, and about Lin Hai’s personal. Lin Hai basically answered every question seriously. Haha! Later, when signing, I found that many friends had seen names on the Internet!
To be honest, Lin Hai likes this kind of face-to-face communication with everyone, because the online instructions will be inconvenient in any case. Whether it is using QQ, email, or message in the book review area, it is impossible to express the problem clearly. Sometimes, people will misunderstand because of the broadness of the text. If face-to-face, gestures and expressions can help the language convey the meaning more accurately to the other party.
However, due to time constraints, the dialogue program has not been held for too long, and Lin Hai is a little regretful. I really hope that there will be such an opportunity to communicate with everyone in the future.
Finally, it's the signature.
Many friends who bought "Do you care about playing football" in bookstores rushed up to surround the table. To be honest, this scene touched Lin Hai a little. Everyone's support for Lin Hai will never forget.
To be honest, Lin Hai's handwriting is ugly, probably because of the reason why he is used to typing with a computer. However, Lin Hai still wrote the original manuscript with a pen on the notebook. Of course, the handwriting of the manuscript is limited to Lin Hai and a very few people who can understand it. There are many different things in the manuscript, which are confused and use idioms indistinct, and the dragon and phoenix dance... However, in order to sign, Lin Hai still practiced his ugly words that could not be seen by his parents-in-law under the supervision of his mother. The four words Lin Hai's Tingtao look a little bit like that. However, when a friend asked Lin Hai to write a little more, he was embarrassed. He had to bite the bullet and put on it. His hands were shaking when signing - this time it was embarrassing.
Well, a friend asked Lin Hai to sign some blessing words. Lin Hai suddenly remembered the plot of Li Yongle he wrote, so he wrote "I wish you good health and happiness every day!"^_^
That day, I just lowered my head to sign, and I didn’t know who was in front of me, but I felt sweet in my heart, haha!
Finally, several friends who were qualified for the VIP of Qingxin Chinese website were selected. But unexpectedly, one of them was my sister... Sweat.
Finally, I took a photo with Mingmei and the others, and then discussed going there to play in the evening. The afternoon signing ended...
Still still a little bit unfulfilled... That's for sure, haha, it's my first time after all~
It should be said that this time the signing cannot be compared with those celebrities, but it is very satisfying for a Lin Hai and an online writer who wrote a bad book on the Internet. Thank you for your friends who come to support Lin Hai, thank you for your friends who cannot come, and thank you for all those who support and care about Lin Hai!
At the end, I wish you all a happy Singles' Day (November 11)! Step out of the world of light as soon as possible and rush to the beautiful world of surging waves...
PS: Lin Hai may go to Xi'an at the end of the month, and may sign up for sale at Zhongshan Bookstore near Xi'an Academy of Fine Arts on December 4. Haha! So I hope that friends in Xi'an will support me at that time.

Chapter completed!
