Chapter 117: The Media Gathers
The two of them are now at the stage of understanding and running in with each other, Zhang Chu couldn't help but shake his head after hearing the news of the new book, he really didn't know what to write all of a sudden.
After all, "Journey to the West Diary" is still being serialized on the Internet, do you want to double open it?
In fact, for him, it is not difficult to open double, three or four opens, but that will distract the reader, and at the same time it is obviously abnormal.
Zhang Chu did not give an accurate answer, but looked at his watch and said, "It's almost time now, let's go to Nanhai Publishing Company, we can't be late for the appointment time." ”
"Is it far, do you need me to drive?" asked Zhou Kang, who was familiar with the publishing industry and knew several people from Nanhai Publishing Company, but did not know the address of their branches.
"It's in the building over there, it's close, just walk over there. ”
Zhang Chu emptied the garbage on the McDonald's tray, and then walked towards the high-rise buildings in front of him with Zhou Kang.
……
In the hall of Building D of Qingdong Building, more and more media rushed to hear the news, and the news of Zhang Chu's presence in Nanhai Publishing Company spread like a hurricane in the media circle.
Passers-by who happened to take the elevator back to work after lunch were taken aback by this posture, is there any celebrity in their office building coming?
"What's going on, what are so many reporters doing here?"
"Who, are you going to film?"
"It's a bit of an exaggeration, you see that Xinlang, iQiyi, Tencent and those TV stations are here, could it be that the leaders are here to inspect the work?"
"Why do I feel a little scared, who is well-informed to ask. ”
The group of people waiting for the elevator whispered that there were different companies working on each floor of the building, and they didn't know who was coming.
A good chatter took the initiative to hand a reporter a cigarette and asked in a low voice, "Brother, what are you doing here? Which superstar is here?"
Li Yun, a reporter from Shonan TV, took the cigarette, shook his head and replied, "It's not a superstar, it's a young writer." That young man is a bull, he sued a heritage foundation directly in the United States, and now everyone says that the probability of winning is very high, and the whole world is reporting on him, and some people say that he is here. ”
I have heard of him, this kid is not simple, he is the top student in the college entrance examination, and he is a writer, and he can really do some unbelievable things. ”
"It turns out that you also saw the news, but unfortunately no one knows what is going on, everyone is waiting for him to speak. As a result, this kid hid from XC, causing us to come here again from the book fair. ”
Originally, this was the peak period for getting on and off the elevator, but now there are so many media reporters, and the queue is longer.
To the branch of Nanhai Publishing Company on the 15th floor, the reporters even filled the reception desk, and the person in charge of the branch never thought that there would be so many reporters with long guns and short guns, and the lounge was almost insufficient.
……
"You've found an agent so quickly, is he reliable?"
Gu Xinxue whispered in Zhang Chu's ear, he originally wanted to introduce an agent to Zhang Chu, but he found one himself, but he was not at ease.
Zhang Chu nodded and said, "He is a special literary agent, and he is my father's classmate. Even if the ability is not good, the character should still pass. Anyway, there is a one-month trial period, and if the ability is not good, it will be broken up, how simple it is. ”
"He seems to have some way to deal with reporters, and I don't know how. ”
With this agent, he can let go of some things, after all, Gu Xinxue is still an editor at heart, and many of his contracted authors need to be asked.
At this time, Zhou Kang stood outside the small living room and said very politely: "I'm sorry, it's inconvenient for Zhang Chu to be interviewed today, if you want to interview, tomorrow there will be a special interview session after the release of "Psychological Crime" at the Scholarly China Exhibition Center, everyone can ask questions on the spot if you want to know anything." ”
"Who are you? ”
"I am Zhang Chu's literary agent, and I have been given full authority to solve all the media matters. ”
"It's all here, let Zhang Chu say a few words, how did he get in touch with those barristers, why did he want to sue the Conan Doyle Heritage Foundation?" said the reporter of Tomato TV impatiently, and changed several places in a row, but did not find the news, really unwilling.
At this time, a man and a woman squeezed over with difficulty in the group of reporters, and said to Zhou Kang with their press cards: "Sorry, we're late." Today the elevator was extremely difficult to wait, so we still climbed the stairs to come up. ”
The reporter panted, the back of his clothes soaked with sweat.
"It's okay, it's more than ten minutes until two o'clock, you guys go in first." After Zhou Kang confirmed the identity of the other party, he let the two reporters enter the living room behind him.
This differential treatment simply made the rest of the reporters angry enough!
"Why can they go in?"
"Which newspaper is this, and I can interview it directly. ”
"Isn't that Wu Qun of Southern Weekly? They unknowingly got an interview with Zhang Chu?"
"Our Jiangdong Satellite TV can also give Zhang Chu an exclusive interview, can we wait a while?"
Zhou Kang sang the black face very well, he shook his head and said: "Southern Weekly made an appointment for an interview a long time ago, and I didn't just apply now. Zhang Chu will leave directly after the interview, please come to the sales meeting tomorrow. If you like the two books here, you can take them and read them!"
Anyway, it was something from the publishing house, and the samples of "Psychological Crime" and "Sherlock" were sent out in this way, so as not to let them go back empty-handed.
News is about timeliness, and now these people are envious of Southern Weekly, and their luck is too good to schedule an interview so early.
Many people have made up their minds that if Zhang Chu doesn't speak out, he may be able to get some news from the two reporters from Southern Weekend and go back to the business.
……
In the living room, Zhang Chu looked at the two reporters who were sweating profusely, he took the initiative to hand over the paper on the coffee table, and said: "The two of you have worked hard, wipe your sweat first, drink saliva and rest." ”
Wu Qun was not pretentious, he wiped the sweat beads on his forehead, and then slowly took out the voice recorder and notebook in his bag, ready to start today's interview.
was sent out by the agency to interview Zhang Chu before, and Wu Qun thought that this was the result of Zhang Chu's public relations, after all, Southern Weekly is the weekly magazine with the largest circulation in the country, and the interview is not for ordinary writers to appear.
So he didn't prepare much, but today's overwhelming news shattered his prejudice against Zhang Chu, and then quickly collected relevant information and background, and waited for it.
Especially when he just arrived at the branch of Nanhai Publishing Company, so many peers did not get the right to interview, and his interview was completely exclusive, so Wu Qun was more serious and cautious.
