Chapter 136

[System: Choice two, refuse to hold a book signing, reward the movie script 'Farewell My Concubine']

Noting the difference between the two choices, Ye Xuan quickly made a decision.

Although the script for 'Farewell My Concubine' was quite attractive, he wasn't a director, so what would he do with a movie script?!

"System, I choose the first one."

Soon, the system's electronic prompt sounded.

[Congratulations to the host for successfully choosing the first option, obtaining the title 'Little Manga Expert']

After speaking, it was as if Ye Xuan had been enlightened; a series of unfamiliar knowledge suddenly flooded his mind, all about manga storyboards, line drafts...

Opening his eyes again, Ye Xuan saw Editor-in-Chief Hua still waiting eagerly for his reply.

With a slight curl of his lips, Ye Xuan said calmly.

"Okay."

As soon as the words fell, Editor-in-Chief Hua's small eyes widened, and his eyes were filled with surprise.

"Really?!"

Editor-in-Chief Hua had initially prepared himself to be rejected.

After all, book signings aren't as lucrative as album signings in the entertainment industry.

They are often time-consuming and laborious, and it's not certain they will be well-received.

Editor-in-Chief Hua had also considered the increasing number of fan initiatives, which is why he tried mentioning it to Ye Xuan.

Unexpectedly, Ye Xuan actually agreed.

Now that Ye Xuan had agreed, Editor-in-Chief Hua immediately showed an overjoyed smile.

But the next second, he saw Ye Xuan raise his hand and say calmly.

"However, I have one condition."

As soon as the voice came out, Editor-in-Chief Hua nodded hurriedly, guaranteeing.

"Mr. Ye, please say it. We will take care of any condition."

It was clear that if Ye Xuan really wanted the moon in the sky, Editor-in-Chief Hua would probably rack his brains to fish it down.

Seeing that Editor-in-Chief Hua had "feel free to make any request" written all over his face, Ye Xuan smiled lightly.

"Let's set the location for the book signing in Qianzhou."

Ye Xuan had already thought it over in his mind; agreeing to hold a book signing was indeed no problem.

It's just that he had just returned from the Weibo Night.

If he had to run around without stopping, that would be too exhausting.

This condition was naturally not a difficult task for Editor-in-Chief Hua; after thinking for no more than two or three seconds, he nodded and agreed.

"No problem, just leave the rest to me."

After setting the time and scale with Ye Xuan, Editor-in-Chief Hua hurriedly bid farewell to Ye Xuan's family and headed straight for Qianzhou.

Clearly, he was going to see which venues in Qianzhou were suitable for holding a book signing.

Within three days, Editor-in-Chief Hua sent Ye Xuan comparison information for three venues.

After sighing at Editor-in-Chief Hua's efficiency, Ye Xuan selected one and sent it back.

Not long after, Editor-in-Chief Hua pushed this message on the official Weibo of the Machinery Industry Press.

[Machinery Industry Press Official Channel: Ye Xuan, the author of 'The Old Man and the Sea' and 'One Hundred Years of Solitude', will hold his first book signing at the Qianzhou City Museum, see you on May 1st.]

As soon as the news came out, the book fans who followed the Machinery Industry Press immediately became restless.

"So happy I could run laps downstairs! I always thought the press account was a zombie account, today it finally proved it's a little useful! Not saying more, I'm going to book tickets!"

"Let me howl first! Heaven knows how envious I am that Little Monkey and the others can get Ye Xuan's autographed book!"

"Help! I need to calm down for a moment! Did the dog author finally remember he still has book fans?! Reservation, reservation! Already booked tickets!"

"So excited my scalp is tingling! Qianzhou, wait for me! Let's go, let's go!"

"The press finally did something right! It wasn't in vain that I wrote so many initiative letters! [Smug]"

The official Weibo of the Machinery Industry Press was immediately piled up with comments from book fans.

The quick-handed book fans couldn't wait to announce it to the world, their motivation breaking through the sky!

Each one turned into a tentacle monster, spreading the major news to various reading groups.

Among them, a group owner in charge of the [Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber Reading Group] hurriedly notified everyone.

"@All members, guys, good news, good news! Ye Xuan is going to hold a book signing in Qianzhou City!"

As soon as the news was sent, fans all popped up.

"Holy crap, holy crap! I'm from Qianzhou! I'm blessed!"

"I'm in the neighboring city! Let's form a group, let's form a group!"

"It's just the Golden Week, I'm booking tickets to Qianzhou right now!"

"Plane tickets are ready! Anyone leaving from the Magic City together?!"

"Leaving from the Magic City +1!"

At this moment, not only in the various reading groups where book fans gather, but the major super-topics were also decorated with lights and festoons.

The discussion levels of [Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber Super-topic], [The Return of the Condor Heroes Super-topic], [The Legend of the Condor Heroes Super-topic], [One Hundred Years of Solitude Super-topic], and [The Old Man and the Sea Super-topic] were already at the forefront of super-topic popularity.

Now that the news of Ye Xuan holding a book signing was out, the popularity of the five major super-topics occupied the top five of the popularity ranking in one fell swoop.

Making the person in charge of a certain Xiao-surnamed star's super-topic, who was ranked sixth, twist his nose in anger on the spot.

He had led all the fans to vote and brush the rankings for a whole week.

The data was brushed, and the comments were controlled; he thought he could immediately reach the number one spot in super-topic popularity.

As a result, as soon as the news of Ye Xuan holding a book signing came out, his own super-topic immediately fell to sixth place!

All the hard work of the past few days went down the drain; it was back to square one in an instant!

Once Ye Xuan appears, all the popularity runs away!

Compared to the depression of the star super-topic person in charge, the major super-topics related to Ye Xuan had already exploded.

"Oh my god, do I also have a chance to get Ye Xuan's autograph?!"

"Anyone leaving from Yanjing together?!"

"I'm in Xi'an, already booked tickets, high-speed rail D9060..."

"Holy crap! Brother, I'm on the same train, let's go together!"

Even more wealthy book fans directly chartered ten buses, expressing it with great generosity.

"Brothers and sisters, I've booked a direct bus from Qianzhou City Station to the book signing venue, let's go together then!"

As soon as the voice came out, countless fans were even more overjoyed.

"Wealthy brother is mighty!"

"Wealthy brother is mighty!"

"Wealthy brother is mighty!"

Just as countless fans were ecstatic, the news of [Ye Xuan holding a book signing] had already reached the trending list and also fell into the eyes of Gao Yuanyuan.

"Ye Xuan is going to hold a book signing?! Sister Liu, what arrangements do I have on May 1st?!!"

As an artist who works around the clock 365 days a year, Gao Yuanyuan's time had long been occupied by work.

Even so, as a loyal fan of Ye Xuan, Gao Yuanyuan hadn't missed a single one of Ye Xuan's books.

'The Old Man and the Sea' and 'One Hundred Years of Solitude' had long been flipped through by her dozens of times.

Even Ye Xuan's subsequent Condor Trilogy, Gao Yuanyuan hadn't missed a single update; they were literally her bedtime reading every day.

When the news of inviting Ye Xuan to the last Weibo Night came out, Gao Yuanyuan finally managed to get the organizer to arrange her seat next to Ye Xuan.

Unfortunately, there were too many people who wanted to find Ye Xuan, so even sitting next to Ye Xuan, Gao Yuanyuan didn't get to say a few words to him.

Now looking at the news of Ye Xuan's book signing this time, Gao Yuanyuan was tempted again.

After all, she had long set her sights on the role of Zhou Zhiruo in 'Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber'.
