Chapter 460 Book Signing Event
"That's not an exaggeration at all."
Zhou Yufan appeared at her other side without her noticing, and said in a very low voice, "Look, but who knows how many evil-minded rats are hiding in the media area."
Fang Li turned her head and followed Zhou Yufan's gaze.
Sure enough, there were groups of three or two, and some of them had their eyes wandering around, which looked suspicious.
Fang Li only took a quick look and found that there were many familiar faces there. At least those faces had appeared several times when she was plagued by public opinion storms before.
"Do you want me to find someone to get those guys who are obviously up to no good out first?"
"It doesn't matter."
Fang Li sipped her coffee from her cup, her face expressionless. "How can we have a good time if the flies have been driven away? We're not afraid of anyone causing trouble today."
Passing through the staff passage, the signing table has been set up.
On the huge poster, the large gold-plated words "Unawakened from a Dream" sparkled under the spotlight, and below was a design pattern of her side profile silhouette.
This is Fang Li’s first physical book published online, and its significance is indeed different.
Looking at it now, I feel a little excited and a little thrilled.
"It's about to start in over an hour."
Fang Li wore a soft long skirt today with an apricot suit jacket on the outside. She looked gentle and calm, yet capable like a professional woman.
Wen Yang helped her straighten her collar. "Senior and I will be by your side in a while. Just focus on dealing with the fans and don't worry about anything else."
"Where's Brother Tian?"
Wen Yang glanced at the area with the most fans across the street. "Well, he brought a dozen people with him, mainly responsible for the backstage security. With him around, the people from Yaoxing and Yu's will definitely not be able to hurt you."
Xu Fangli looked thoughtful as he scanned the hall.
They all knew that Yaoxing and Yu's people would definitely stir up some trouble today, preferably to ruin her autograph session, and at the same time stir up public opinion to throw some dirty water on her in order to relieve their current predicament.
But Fang Li still didn't quite believe that they would find someone to do something to hurt her.
In public, unless they were extremely confident, this kind of thing would likely backfire. Neither Sheng Qianrui nor Yu Minghai were that stupid.
At ten twenty, the host came on stage to warm up the audience.
Ten minutes later, when the atmosphere was almost aroused and the anticipation had reached its peak, Fang Li slowly came on stage.
When Fang Li walked onto the stage, flash lights came on like a rainstorm, followed by cheers from readers and book fans in the audience that almost blew the roof off.
"Wow! Cat Li is actually a beauty!"
"She's the cat Xiaoli! Isn't she Ms. Xu from Xingli Film and Television?!"
"Oh my god! The dream is actually Mr. Xu's work!"
"Teacher Xu! Look here!"
"Cat, I love you!"
......
Feeling the madness of the fans below the stage, Fang Lili waited for a while. When the sound waves gradually subsided, she bowed to the crowd below the stage.
He took the microphone handed to him by the host and said, "Thank you everyone."
These four simple words instantly silenced the entire audience.
Fang Li's gaze gently swept over the crowd below, and she spoke in a cold voice, "I began conceiving of 'The Great Dream' during my university years, but I didn't actually start writing it until two years ago. Originally, it was presented as a screenplay, but because I was unknown at the time, it couldn't have a good future as a screenplay, so I adapted it into a novel and published it online."
Fang Li spoke, and the people below listened quietly.
She said: "I have been serializing "The Big Dream" online for more than half a year. I never thought that there would be a day like this. My work would be loved by everyone, and I would meet everyone as the cat Xiaoli."
Fang Li talks about her original intention in writing this book and how she turned her own experiences into nourishment for the book.
After she finished her introduction, it was time for questions.
As expected, a reporter from Culture Weekly was the first to speak out: "Mr. Xu, there are rumors that your book was plagiarized, and not only that, but you're deliberately framing Yaoxing Media by claiming it was the original work. What do you think?"
As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar at the scene.
Fang Li's expression remained unchanged. "I'm sure the court will soon make a fair judgment on who plagiarized. I believe the law will not wrongly accuse a good person, nor will it let off anyone with a sinister heart."
She looked directly at the reporter. "Next question."
"Mr. Xu, you just said that the original form of this book was actually a script. Does that mean you have plans to adapt The Dream into a film or TV series?"
Fang Li glanced at Wen Yang below calmly.
Wen Yang raised her eyebrows. She instantly understood that this was the media she arranged to deliberately reveal their next plan.
Fang Li replied: "Yes, in fact, we have already launched the project for the story of the dream, and the preliminary preparations are almost done. If you are interested, you can pay attention to our official website of Xingli. I believe that there will be official news about it soon."
After briefly answering a few questions, the signing process officially began.
Wen Yang and others organized the team and moved forward slowly.
"Big Cat, I love you so much!"
"Thanks."
.......
"Xiaoli Xiaoli, we will always support you!"
"Thank you."
When the book signing was halfway through, there was a sudden commotion in the hall.
Xu Fangli looked up and saw two tall figures in suits walking out of the entrance. Not only that, they were followed by a dozen bodyguards in black suits.
The bodyguards carried flower baskets and banners, and even a dozen huge roll-up banners.
Fang Li's mouth twitched slightly, and she felt embarrassed for a moment.
No wonder Jian Yunqi said those words last night. She should have guessed it long ago. With his personality, it would be more like a shock than a surprise.
Wen Yang couldn't bear to look at it, so he leaned over to Fang Li's ear and whispered, "Oh my god, this is too vulgar. If you didn't know, you would think it was a store opening."
Fang Li endured it for a moment, barely managing to keep the smile on her face. "Never mind him, it's a gesture of kindness. Please help me entertain him."
"rest assured."
"Mr. Jian, Mr. Deng, hello."
Wen Yang walked over, smiled and extended his hands to the two of them: "I'm Fang Li's friend and also the Vice President of Xingli. Thank you both for coming here today to support us, Fang Li."
Deng Xiulin lightly squeezed Wen Yang's fingertips and nodded in return.
Jian Yunqi is different.
He started to show his peacock nature again, holding Wen Yang's hand and smiling self-righteously, "Miss Wen, right? Fang Li's friends are naturally our friends. We are all family, no need to be polite."
Wen Yang couldn't help but smile, and pointed at the things behind him: "Boss Jian, what is this...?"
Jian Yunqi glanced back and said, "Oh, you promised to support my sister, so of course you can't come empty-handed. This is just a small gift to show your support."
Wen Yang nodded and instructed the field control to quickly sort out those things.
Jian Yunqi added, "One more thing. I've read the book, Unable to Awaken from a Dream. It has a great idea and is very educational as a piece of youth literature. It just so happens that our Mingde College is expanding its library collection and is planning to order 100,000 copies. I wonder if you'd be interested?"
