Chapter 555: Pit Teammates [Second Watch Asking for a Monthly Pass]
In fact, Zhang Chu doesn't attach much importance to this award, and even he doesn't know what it does, and netizens and fans probably don't know it.
If it is an Oscar nomination, maybe the entire entertainment industry will have to shake it.
It's a pity that I don't know what time it will take, it depends on whether Li Yan's "Youth School" is as powerful as the earth!
If the effect is similar, then Zhang Chu may really be able to mix up a nomination for the best adapted screenplay.
Thinking of this, he picked up his mobile phone and called Blair to go back, saving himself from worry.
New York was a busy morning, and Blair came to a beautiful girl after chatting with her at a bar last night.
The night passed, when he put on his clothes, tiptoed with his shoes in his hand and prepared to leave before the girl woke up, but at this time, the mobile phone in his pocket rang directly!
"Damn, it's a call at this time. ”
Blair jumped to his feet in a hurry, and he didn't take out the phone in his coat in a hurry, and the sound directly woke up the sleeping girl Scarlett.
Scarlett opened her eyes dimly, her blonde hair scattered over her body, "Are you leaving? Didn't we have a good chat last night?"
"No, no, no, I want to go out and buy breakfast, what coffee do you want?"
"There were sandwiches and milk and juice in the fridge. ”
Blair, who wanted to leave quietly, could only put his shoes down now, he hated this bastard who called early in the morning, and he made himself a ruthless scumbag.
He didn't go to the bar to find true love, and now Scarlett's demeanor was really a little cold.
"Then I'll fry an egg...... Blair was going to make amends, and let the telephone line aside.
However, Scarlett stepped out of bed in loose athletic shorts, and she suddenly laughed, "You better go first, you can call me later, you know the number." ”
"Really?"
"Of course, I'll have to go to work later. By the way, you behaved great last night. ”
Blair's face was strange, and he finally said, "Thank you for the compliment." ”
"I'm going to take a shower now. Scarlett didn't have any defense, so she walked barefoot to the toilet and turned on the showerhead.
Of course, Blair didn't have any nostalgia, the embarrassing scene just now seemed to be completely non-existent, and after putting on his shoes, he gently closed the door and left.
After coming out of this apartment, he looked at the caller ID, which turned out to be Zhang Chu's phone.
I wanted to curse, but now I have to give up!
This big customer can't afford to offend at all!
"It's strange, why didn't this person answer the phone all of a sudden, is he still sleeping?" Zhang Chu looked at his phone and said to himself, but he didn't know that he had inadvertently avenged a single dog's revenge and successfully killed his friend.
But he didn't dwell on it for long, because Blair himself quickly called again.
"Zhang, my friend, that phone call you just made really killed me!"
"Why do you say that?"
Zhang Chu was very puzzled, and at the same time a little curious.
Blair paused and diverted the topic, "Let's not mention this for the time being, you should also know that you have been nominated for an Emmy, right?"
"That's right, but this award doesn't seem to be well-known in China, how about in the United States?"
"It doesn't seem to be very popular in the U.S., but at least the entertainment news will cover it. Have you recently written anything that would be suitable for translation into English?"
is obviously still talking about the nomination status of "Sherlock", but now Blair has turned around and started urging changes.
If it was usual, Zhang Chu would definitely take care of him, but this time he said with certainty: "I have some ideas, but I haven't figured out how to do it yet, let alone start writing." ”
Blair was actually desperate, he was just a routine reminder, and he didn't expect it to have an effect!
The emperor lives up to his wishes, and the water droplets finally wear through the stone!
"Thank God, you're finally writing a new book!"
"Actually, I've been writing new books all the time, but you think it's going to sell badly. ”
Zhang Chu ruthlessly exposed the truth, and he didn't hand over "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" to Random House for review, but after market research, the other party felt that its commercial potential was relatively low.
If it is published, translation is a problem, and it may be difficult to recover the cost.
As for "The Legend of Wukong" and "Sou Shen Ji", they didn't take it, if the text of these two parts is translated into English, the artistic conception will disappear most of it!
It's like the various golden sentences in it, how to express it in English?
Even though Zhang Chu has obtained a basic English proficiency from the system and knows all kinds of expressions in English, he still feels extremely tricky.
Blair ignored Zhang Chu's complaints, and he walked along the sidewalk and asked, "So what is the subject of this book?"
"It's about religion, I just have this idea, I haven't figured anything out yet. If it was actually written, it would have been a few months later. ”
"Religion? This subject is a bit sensitive, is it another "Life of Pi"?"
There is a lot of religious discussion in "Life of Pi", Blair doesn't know that this is still a version that has been cut by Zhang Chu, and the content of "Life of Pi" on the earth about religion accounts for half of the space!
Of course, book reviewers like this content, but readers don't necessarily like it, so Zhang Chu streamlined this part of the content to win the love of more readers.
Zhang Chu faced Blair's doubts, and he didn't explain much, "Let's wait until I write out the outline." ”
"I'm waiting for your good news!"
Blair said excitedly, now the English version of "The Fifteenth Year of Wanli" in his hand has to be dealt with quickly, and I hope that the new book can replicate the popularity of the previous two works.
Now that the Emmy nominations have been announced, why not apply for a promotional resource to help promote Sherlock and get it back on the New York Times bestseller list?
As Zhang Chu's editor, Blair clearly knew that only the higher Zhang Chu's book sales, the more money he could get.
He directly expelled "The Fifteenth Year of Wanli" from the list of Zhang Chu's works, which could not find a suitable buyer except for being collected in the library!
Zhang Chu threw his phone aside after finishing his conversation with Blair, and he was indeed planning to write a new book now.
"What Happened to the Rabbit That Year" is just a comic to pass the time, just like a dessert after a meal, it can't replace the main meal.
It's just that he plans to sort out all these trivial things before writing the book, and then prepare the new book wholeheartedly.
