2046 Inventory shortage
The second update today, please recommend and subscribe!
Looking at the crowds of people in the bookstore now, Les Rennie also knows that the sales volume today will definitely be very good, but the point is that since it is a signing meeting, the sales speed of books will definitely not be very fast, because there is also a signing process. Therefore, 50,000 books are definitely enough.
But Les Rene obviously forgot one thing: Barnes & Noble Bookstore has nine branches in New York. "They have taken away 30,000 books in stock. If we don't prepare for tomorrow, it will definitely not be enough." The staff member who transported the goods in front of him reminded Les Rene.
Les Renee suddenly realized that although the most lively one at the moment is the Fifth Avenue branch of Barnes & Noble, there are still many people who can't squeeze in, so people go to other places in New York. Since we can't see Evan Bell as soon as possible and get the signature, it's also good to be able to see the books created by Evan Bell as soon as possible. So, the inventory of other branches quickly became in a hurry, and they all came to the Fifth Avenue branch, the largest inventory in New York, to pick up books.
Later, Les Renee thought that the effect of Twitter was not limited to New York, but spread throughout the United States and even the world, so the result could be easily inferred. The situation of the Barnes & Noble Fifth Avenue branch can be seen in bookstores in many cities in the United States, so the first edition of one million sales seems to be insufficient.
Not enough? Les Renee was shocked by his own ideas. There are not many writers in the world who dared to publish a million in the first edition. And writers who sell one million in a single day are rare. j.k. Rowling released the "Harry Potter" series so far. The highest first-day sales record is three million, but that's different. That's a huge group of book fans accumulated in the past decade, but what about Evan Bell?
Evan Bell can sell 630,000 on the first day of the album's release - maintained by the album "Four", Evan Bell can also get 67 million US dollars in the box office on the day of the movie's premiere - maintained by "Batman Prequel: The Dark Knight", but the first edition of the new book was sold out on the first day of the release? Is this possible?
Les Reini is not sure, because publishing and film and music are completely different fields, and the operating rules here are completely different, not to mention that Evan Bell has no reputation for being a writer - the three Oscar-level screenwriters Xiao Jinren is not counted, so relying solely on Evan Bell's fans. Without word-of-mouth support, can the sales of novels create miracles? Les Reini is skeptical.
But looking up at the spectacular appearance in front of you, people mistakenly thought that this was not Barnes Noble Bookstore, but Washington Square when "Long Live Life (.)" was first published, or Rockefeller Square on Millennium Eve. So, Les Renee's "skepticism" began to become uncertain.
Could it be that the sales volume of "one day" really exceed one million, so that the publisher can start printing the second edition? "
Just when Les Renee was swaying, Evan Bell was helpless. He really felt that there was no need to make such a big fanfare when publishing novels and becoming a writer. For Evan Bell, a writer is closer to a psychologist and an architectural designer, and is very professional. Relying on his own professional knowledge to impress people, Evan Bell has absolute confidence in his music and movies, but he is really not sure about novel creation.
Evan Bell was originally a reading enthusiast. Imagine that readers read epic masterpieces like "The Lord of the Rings", or magnificent masterpieces like "One Hundred Years of Solitude", or works that are worthy of repeated references such as "Remembering the Years of Water", and that kind of satisfaction cannot be expressed in words, but they will constantly rub the pages and feel the connection between lead characters and themselves. But on the contrary, if you read works that are not of sufficient level, you will feel very regretful. The same text and different arrangements can produce very different effects, and it may even make people give up halfway and cannot bear to continue reading.
"One Day" is not a novel written specifically for publication, but rather an essay that has accumulated all emotions and thoughts after inspiration bursts out. If these readers only support the novel because of the name "Evan Bell", then it will be difficult for them to feel the true feelings in this novel, which will make Evan Bell feel very regretful. Of course, if readers buy the novel just to support Evan Bell, but end up calling it "scammers" in their hands, this is even more not Evan Bell's original intention.
In Evan Bell's opinion, buying books is a special thing, because paper books are not a file that can be deleted at any time in the computer, but a special item with monumental significance. It can be seen from the bookshelf at Evan Bell's home that he loves books. If you buy a book that you don't like or don't know how to read at all, it is definitely not a good thing.
Therefore, there are so many people in front of you. The more lively it makes Evan Bell feel that he has deviated from the track he had expected. However, Evan Bell was just thinking about it. He knew that he was also a bit pretentious. If he really didn't want people to come to buy books because of his name, then he could create with a pseudonym, or not organize today's signing party; since he published the book with his original name and participated in the signing party, the grand occasion in front of him was as expected. Evan Bell himself couldn't help but feel a little funny, and he still had the literary style of pretending to be.
After pressing down all the pretentious commotions in his heart, Evan Bell cheered up and devoted himself to the signing party. Since "one day" has been published, then he will calmly accept the review of the public. This is actually no different from music and movies. The public will come to watch the fun because of the name "Evan Bell", but if they don't like it, they will still not be merciless, and they will not pay for the money to buy the books. The reason is still the same.
As for the grand occasion that is even better than the signing of "Five" in front of him, Evan Bell can only accept it with a smile. Evan Bell has participated in many shows in the signing meeting, but they used to be albums, but today they are novels, with different carriers. After an hour's signing, Evan Bell only signed less than 200 people, and there were still a large number of fans coming from behind. Such enthusiasm makes people see the scene of Fifth Avenue during the discount season, and it is even more crazy.
After the one-hour signing, Evan Bell did not leave immediately, but asked Les Renee for a horn and said to the fans who were constantly talking in a low voice, "Please, please be careful, okay? This is a bookstore, please keep quiet, although it is not easy." Evan Bell smiled after saying that, and about 800 people at the scene also chuckled. "When I came to attend the signing today, I didn't expect the scene like this, so first I have to say thank you."
In the Internet era, Evan Bell has experienced the power of an instant information platform like Twitter or Weibo for the first time, and he has to sigh. The speed of this summoning is too fast, just like a great summoning technique.
The scene was actually not noisy at all, but there was a kind of depressing noise. So when I heard Evan Bell's voice, everyone quickly calmed down and looked at Evan Bell standing on the second floor. "Today, I am just a writer and the first time I wrote a book." Evan Bell said, "Although I hope everyone can like my works, I know it is impossible." The scene laughed again, "So, those who like you hope you can resonate in the books, and those who don't like you won't be sad even if you don't sell them. Of course, if you are willing to collect, publishers and bookstores will also smile in addition to me."
Evan Bell's straightforward words made everyone laugh, and even Les Rennie and others couldn't help but smile.
"Thank you for your support. I think I must read it again after I go home today. I will criticize myself before I give my opinions, so as not to have a heart attack when I see the book review." Evan Bell always smiled with a teasing smile when he spoke, and the laughter at the scene came one after another. "Finally, today's signing will end here. Thank you for being there, even if you are not interested in my novel, I hope to find a book that suits you in the bookstore."
Evan Bell originally planned to stroll around the bookstore and read some newer books, but now this situation is obviously impossible. Evan Bell can only give up.
Teddy Bell escorted Evan Bell, and left Barnes & Noble Bookstore under the escort of more than 800 fans on the scene. After the two returned to the car, Teddy Bell showed a big smile, and there was even some pride in this smile. He thought of Evan Bell and stretched out his hand, "You lost."
Evan Bell flipped through his pocket helplessly, found a dollar, and then put it in Teddy Bell's palm. Teddy Bell put away his palm, and his smile still remained calm. "Eden is right, you are indeed pretentious." In fact, Eden Hudson's original words were pretending.
"Teddy! You and Eden have learned badly." Evan Bell said depressedly.
Before coming to the signing party, Eden Hudson bet with Evan Bell that today's signing party would definitely be very popular even without any publicity. Teddy Bell stood on Eden Hudson's side. Evan Bell said it was impossible at the time, but now he also knows that he is pretentious. This is the fact.
Teddy Bell started the engine and said seriously, "I'm just stating a fact." Evan Bell, who was sitting next to him, was stunned and could not even say a rebuttal.
