It was Wednesday afternoon, and there was less than half an hour left before 2 pm. And at two o'clock, Chen Ze's first standalone book, Slam Dunk, would be released.
There were indeed many fans of Slam Dunk. The posters of their favorite characters were gathered in the hall.
However, almost none of the reporters that Lin Lan had invited to help Chen Ze did not come. There were only a few reporters at the scene, and they were all from small websites and magazines.
"Lotte Club's Wang Tian's signing event also starts at 2 o'clock. The reporters seem to have gone to his place.”Lin Lan's secretary said. Chen Ze and Lin Lan stood beside her.
"I understand." Lin Lan nodded. She had already guessed this when Lotte Society announced the signing of Wang Tianxin's manga. He had already told them the time of the signing event, but they had chosen the same day. Who would believe that it was a coincidence?
There was also the matter of the reporters. They had clearly promised him that they would come today. In the end, they all went to Wang Tian's signing event. Lin Lan would never believe that the Lotte Society did not do anything.
However, it didn't matter. Lin Lan was very confident in her arrangements later. She would definitely make those reporters who didn't come regret their decisions.
"It's almost two o'clock." Lin Lan said to Chen Ze.
Chen Ze nodded. Although there weren't many reporters, there were still quite a few fans. His task today was not easy. He had to sign so many books.
He was wearing a black suit today, and his hair had been specially styled by the makeup artist hired by Lin Lan, making him look exceptionally handsome.
Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye. Chen Ze walked out of his lounge and went to the hall.
Their signing ceremony was held in a very famous building in Georgopol. This hall was the largest hall in the building and could accommodate thousands of people. However, it was very crowded at this time. There were too many fans of Slam Dunk.
Fortunately, it was a Wednesday. If it was a weekend, the hall would have been packed to the brim. Among the students in Georgopol, Chen Ze's popularity was quite terrifying.
"Dear fans, welcome to the signing event of our great God Chen Ze's 'Slam Dunk' on Wednesday afternoon. Soon, our signing event will officially begin.”On a temporary platform, the host said.
The fans in the hall became excited after hearing his words. Was it finally going to start? He had been waiting here for a long time. He was finally going to see the standalone version of Slam Dunk and the people of God Chen Ze.
As Chen Ze kept a low profile, he never posted his photos online. Apart from the magazine interview in Beijing last time, he had not been interviewed by anyone else.
Therefore, to the fans, he was like a fan. Some people on the Internet said that he was very ugly. Otherwise, why did he not dare to reveal his true appearance? There were also people who said that he was very handsome and even said that they had seen him with their own eyes.
Similar to Kaede Mitsui's argument, this debate about Chen Ze's appearance had been circulating among the fans. Finally, today was the day to uncover the mystery of the previous debate.
"Let's cut to the chase. Next up, let's invite our 'Slam Dunk' mangaka, our country's super popular mangaka, Chen Ze, to the stage.”The emcee made an inviting gesture on the stage.
As he did this, the entire place quieted down. Everyone was looking at the stage, wondering what this God Chen Ze would look like.
When Chen Ze heard the host's words, he straightened his clothes and walked out from the left.
"Hello everyone, I'm Chen Ze. Thank you for liking my 'Slam Dunk.'”He took the host's microphone and greeted the audience.
"Wow."
The audience was instantly shocked. Chen Ze's fans, both male and female, did not expect Chen Ze to be so handsome. This manga that had no facial features could just be used in the entertainment industry.
It was a rule that there were no handsome men in the comic world. Most mangaka looked rather wretched. Those who were slightly better would dare to become handsome mangaka, and Chen Ze never showed his face. His fans were already prepared for his wretched appearance. He didn't expect that he was actually a sunny and handsome man.
"Today is the first day of the release of my manga, Slam Dunk. I hope everyone can support us so that our Slam Dunk can achieve good results.”
Chen Ze didn't seem to notice the surprise of the people below as he continued.
"Why does the Almighty look so familiar?”At this moment, a girl below the stage said to her friend.
"I think so too. It feels like I've seen it somewhere before. At first, I thought it was an illusion. I didn't expect you to feel the same as me.”His friend nodded in agreement.
"Where is it?" The two of them fell into deep thought, as if they were trying to recall where they had seen God Chen Ze before.
"Don't you think that he's very similar to the handsome guy in the video who played Kaede Rukawa and went for a layup?”
At this moment, another person swallowed her saliva and said. She could not believe her eyes.
When the others heard her words, they all thought of the video. The video's resolution was relatively low, so she couldn't see his face clearly. However, from the looks of their figures, hairstyles, and heights, they were indeed somewhat similar.
Could it be that the two of them were really the same person?
They looked at each other and saw the disbelief in each other's eyes.
"Next is the interaction segment. Is there anything that you want to ask God Chen Ze?”The host moved the signing event to the interaction segment.
"Guru Chen Ze, I would like to ask you, in your opinion, who is the best in Slam Dunk?”An unsuspecting fan raised his hand and asked Chen Ze.
"As for the question of who is the best, the characters in Slam Dunk are all in high school and are still growing. There is no such thing as the best. Moreover, basketball was a team sport. Only the most united people could achieve the best results.”
Chen Ze gave an all-purpose answer. As for who was the best, everyone in Slam Dunk had their own fans. In public, of course, they couldn't officially define who was the best.
If I say that the Immortal Dao is the best, then the fans of Liu Chuanfeng will tear me apart.
After more than half of the interaction session, some of the fans 'questions were easy to answer, while others were more difficult to answer. Fortunately, Lin Lan had asked Chen Ze to prepare in advance, so he was not flustered.
"There's one last question. After that, the interaction segment will end.”the host said on stage.
At this moment, the few girls who had noticed that Chen Ze looked a little like the man in the video two days ago raised their hands. They confirmed it again and again and felt that it was too similar. They planned to ask if it was Chen Ze himself.
"Friend, you can ask God Chen Ze a question.”The host walked to their side and changed the topic.
One of them took the microphone and took a deep breath."Guru Chen Ze, I would like to ask you if you have participated in any COSPLAY shows recently and dressed up as Kaede Rukawa.”
After saying that, the few of them stared at Chen Ze.
"It's finally here." Chen Ze thought to himself that Wang Tian would be the one to snipe at the book signing this time. The reporters and the magazine's website would all be occupied. Lin Lan's countermeasure was to use the video from a few days ago to make Chen Ze famous and create momentum for the release of Slam Dunk.
"I am indeed cosplaying Kaede Ryukawa.”Chen Ze nodded and replied.
"Where?" The girl continued to confirm.
"Georgopol University's gymnasium." Chen Ze said.
Wow!
The girls were in an uproar. Although they had already expected this result, they still exclaimed when they confirmed it.
This was too amazing. It turned out that the Almighty was not only good at manga, but he was also good at basketball. Moreover, he was so handsome. When he disguised as Kaede Rukawa, it was as if he had come to a three-dimensional world. This was too exaggerated.
The fans of " Slam Dunk " were still looking for information about him everywhere, and it turned out that he was really God Chen Ze himself.
The other fans did not know what was going on. They only heard Chen Ze's reply, and the girls 'eyes almost lit up.
"What's wrong? Wasn't it just cosplaying? It was normal.”
In this world, there were countless COSPLAY events in China, and many people loved to participate. Almost everyone present had played it before, so they could not understand the reason for the commotion.
Later on, someone revealed that Chen Ze was the man who cosplayed Kaede Rukawa in Qiandu's hot news a few days ago, and the entire venue was in an uproar.
So that was the case. No wonder those girls had that expression.
Everyone present was a fan of the game, so they had naturally seen the video.
The girls were all attracted by the man's domineering performance, but they did not expect it to be Chen Ze. Now that they knew that it was him, they were just like the girls who had discovered Chen Ze's identity at the first moment. Their eyes lit up with stars.
The boys all said that the man in the video was pretentious and that his basketball skills were nothing. However, when he found out that it was actually his idol, he was impressed by his basketball skills. As expected of the mangaka who could draw " Slam Dunk," they all secretly vowed to practice their basketball skills when they returned.
Chen Ze looked at the fans who were in an uproar, and the few reporters who were present revealed shocked and surprised expressions. He knew that the publicity this time was a success. Tomorrow, he would probably become a hot topic on Weibo and the Thousand Degree billboard again.
