Chapter 512 Attracting World Attention
On May [-] Labor Day, Li Fan won the Golden Tripod Award, the highest award in the literary circles of China. Although it is not news at all in China, after all, everyone agrees, but outside the country, as news, its spread is still very wide.

A cruel reality is that Chinese literature is not valued very much in the world literary world, and there are very few modern and contemporary writers who can stand on the front line of the world literary world, especially in contemporary times, where there are many writers and more impersonators.

However, whether it is the Nobel Prize or other international literary awards, attention will definitely be paid to the domestic Golden Tripod Award, and its works will also be studied by relevant institutions and industry insiders.

Therefore, the awards of the "Golden Tripod Award" have also been published in newspapers in other countries, and it can be predicted that a series of award-winning works will appear in various literary institutions around the world and be translated into local languages ​​for internal research.

Not only the book "Flying Wings and High", but other award-winning works as well.This is the same reason that XX works of the XX Literary Award in XX Country will definitely appear in specific areas such as domestic liberal arts colleges and publishing house offices.

The news that "Flying Wings" won the "Golden Tripod Award" in Huaguo spread all over the world on May Day.

We can't brag and say that everyone in the world knows everyone, that's not in line with common sense, but the coverage of this news should be spread all over the place where the Internet or newspapers are available.

As for whether foreigners read the news, that is their business, and they will definitely report it.

Just like the news of the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction must have spread to China, but the people who are interested in it may only be Wenqing or fake Wenqing.

In short, if Li Fan has the interest and time, he can collect newspapers from all over the world that have special reports on his awards.

For the first time, Li Fan, as a writer, appeared in the minds of people in the industry or literature lovers all over the world, although what appeared was only a simple name, a brief introduction of his works and a series of miraculous writer's experiences.Of course, there should also be a photo that is so handsome that it explodes, and then the readers will be amazed:
"Oh my god, this guy in China is so handsome!"

"Unbelievable!"

"IST-so-hei!"

"ah, tako si lep!"

"Smecta!"

"かっこいい! Yachudie!"

……

It is a pity that foreign netizens can only look at the news and photos curiously, but they will have to wait a long, long time to appreciate the artistic charm of "Flying Wings and High".

In China, on May [-]th Youth Day, "Flying Wings and Flying High" was simultaneously sold in major bookstores across the country.

On the morning of May [-]th, Beijing Huawen Bookstore, like other major bookstores across the country, had a long queue outside the door.

The bookstore has not yet opened, but there are cameramen holding equipment, ready to record this grand book-buying event.

In Huaguo, there is no one who can reach this kind of readership when new books are put on sale now, except Li Fan, and all major bookstores across the country are the same.

Cameraman: "Hey, there are too many readers here. This road is at the end of the line. I guess there are still many people after the turn."

Bookstore staff: "Mr. Li hasn't held a new book signing yet. If he does, I guess he'll have to block the Tao immediately!"

A female employee ran over and exclaimed: "Did you hear that, Mr. Li's hometown is Chuncheng City, and the streets near their United Bookstore are already crowded. My God, if readers know that the stock is insufficient, don't smash it!" A bookstore!"

"Shh!"

The female employee quickly shut up and quietly glanced at the readers in line.

At 8 o'clock, the bookstore opened, and the crowds poured in like bees. In the blink of an eye, the 500 copies of "Flying Wings" neatly stacked on the counter were sold out.

Readers exploded: "What's wrong, I've been waiting in line for so long, and it's out of stock?"

"When will you have the goods? I skipped class to buy them!"

"For such a big bookstore like yours, you only have such a few goods? Just this little strength?"

……

Among the noisy crowd, a man in his early 50s wearing a peaked cap gently pulled the sleeve of a middle school student and said kindly: "Classmate, can you transfer this book to me?"

The classmate gripped the book subconsciously, "Master, I bought it with great difficulty."

"Can I give you some more money? 100 yuan!" While speaking, the man took out a hundred-yuan bill.

The classmate shook his head.

"That 200 yuan!" Another hundred-yuan bill appeared in his hand.

The classmate shook his head, unmoved.

This is really a good age when faith is more important than money.

The mother next to me thought that this child is stupid, you can buy 200 books for 5 yuan, and you can earn 160 if you change hands, and books can be bought sooner or later!

"I'll sell it!" The aunt smiled and handed over the book in her hand.

"Thank you then!" As soon as the man finished speaking, the aunt took the money in his hand.

"I saw that you looked like Li Qian, so I transferred it to you!" After the aunt said this, she turned around and dodged away, her speed was a bit unconventional.

Li Qian pressed his hat with a smile, turned around and left the bookstore, and went back to a nearby hotel.

In the crowd, a young man asked, "The man in the hat really looks like Li Qian."

The little girl said: "He is a big Hollywood director, a leader of Chinese directors, can we meet? Besides, didn't he settle in the United States?"

An uncle came over and said, "Didn't you guys watch the news? Li Qian came to the film academy to find a female lead for the casting of the film "Zhengtu" these days."

"I'll go, it's not really him, is it?"

"Probably not. When a big Hollywood director returns to China, he must be accompanied by a lot of people!"

"Makes sense!"

"Not necessarily. Teacher Li is often accompanied by an assistant when he is away from home. How famous is Teacher Li? He doesn't beat up all the fresh meat and girls, but isn't he also very low-key?"

Amidst the discussion among a small group of people, the Hollywood hall-level director had already gone back to the hotel to read.

……

The sales results on the first day were no surprises. "Flying Wings and Flying High" broke the record of domestic unofficial works with a single-day sales volume of over one million. All major bookstores across the country were out of stock without exception.

Moreover, it was also on this day that scalpers officially “invaded” the book field.

The profit of books is too thin, and the sales of almost all works are average, especially worrying about selling, scalpers don't look at them at all.

However, the book "Flying Wings and High" was targeted by individual "scalpers", and then the "black market price" soared all the way: 80, 88, 100, 150...

"Flying Wings", like Li Fan's first book, sales were once again limited by production capacity issues.

How many copies the book would have sold on its first day, if enough had been printed, is anyone's guess.

However, based on the strong cohesion of Li Fan's fans, they have the strength to break out a jaw-dropping result in the world book market on the first day of sales.

On the morning of May [-]th, Li Fan woke up and started swiping his phone, and the reviews of "Flying Wings and High" on the Internet were all positive.

Social commentator Xie Liwei posted on Weibo: After reading it overnight, I couldn't put it down. It is a masterpiece in Chinese literature, and it lives up to Teacher Li's reputation.

Old Xiao Weibo: Read it twice, sleepless all night!This book fully illustrates a point - what is comedy?Comedy is to crush tragedy, sprinkle some sugar for you to eat, and make you cry while laughing.

"Flying Wings and High" is such an outstanding absurd comedy.

Xiaoxiao: In the world of popular works, Li Fan reached the pinnacle as soon as he made his debut.As the pioneer of the genre of absurd literature, the maturity of his works is unbelievable.

A certain netizen: The most exquisite thing about this book is the ending of the whole book. With "she is so ugly, she doesn't deserve to have such beautiful wings", it ends abruptly, and the story has no final ending.

The author didn't tell us what the girl's final fate was, but it was more unbearable for us than telling us the result.Humans are inherently evil, and perhaps rightly so.

……

Whether it's insiders or readers, they all gave affirmative praise. Li Fan got tired of reading it, and then started flipping through it quickly, looking for a few that scolded him. Don't praise too much, what if he gets lost? Hurry up and find a few bad reviews to balance it out!
After flipping through for a while, I finally saw one scolding myself.

A netizen: What kind of rubbish is this? It’s also called a novel?What is the difference between this and online games that harm young people?It made me watch it over and over again, and I was addicted to it!I strongly urge all netizens not to watch it, if you become addicted, you will not be able to quit!
Li Fan was about to give him a like when his phone rang.

"Hey, Sister Feifei. Copyright? You should have read this book. Even if you film it, there is no hope of it being released. What? If you don't buy it, who will buy it? Who?! Say it again, who?!"

Feifei Sun: "Are you very excited? Are you going crazy with joy? Hollywood directors, Li Qian, the glory of the Chinese!"

Li Fan said happily: "That's great, I'm so happy!"

Feifei Sun: "Hey!"

Li Fan: "I'm really excited, so excited!"

Feifei Sun: "Calm down!"

Li Fan: "Finally earning US dollars, that's great! Convert US dollars into RMB, what's the current exchange rate? I'll check later!"

Feifei Sun: "..."

"Sister Feifei, do you know how much the most expensive script in Hollywood can cost?"

Feifei Sun: "..."

"Sister, why don't you talk? Sister? Sister?!"
