Chapter 118: Punch Lines

"Teacher Xiao Zhang, you are a popular superstar now, and you almost didn't squeeze in just now. ”

Wu Qun said with emotion that he rarely encountered such envious eyes from his peers, and those reporters from TV stations, newspapers, and websites could only be outside, while he sat on the sofa and chatted with Zhang Chu.

Zhang Chu said modestly: "It's all red, if it weren't for so many news abroad, how would they pay attention to me." ”

"This is not necessarily, Mr. Zhang, you are too arrogant, who doesn't know that you are the most popular and powerful rookie writer this year!" Wu Qun complimented two sentences, then changed his words, "Then what made you embark on the road of writing?"

"Probably poverty. ”

Zhang Chu said jokingly, "After the college entrance examination, I want some pocket money, and I am embarrassed to ask my parents for money. Who knew it would come to this point. ”

"It's really amazing to write a bestseller just by having fun!" Wu Qun praised, the young man in front of him really had the confidence to say such things.

"Netizens are more curious, why did you choose to go to Yan University instead of Tsinghua University?"

Since it's an interview, any question is pulled out and asked, but the content that falls into the manuscript in the end needs to be screened and deleted.

Zhang Chu sighed and said, "This year, Tsinghua gave our class a guaranteed place, but I didn't choose to go to Tsinghua University. On the one hand, I don't really like the rhythm of Tsinghua, and on the other hand, the person who was escorted was not me. ”

Several people in the room burst out laughing almost at the same time.

Neurotic, it's not you who was escorted, and Balabala said so much!

Gu Xinxue knew that it would be like this, the nature of the country is easy to change, and the existence of being able to write a joke into a novel, the interview must not become a joke show?

Wu Qun was also very happy, and it was exactly the same as on Weibo.

"Why would you think of going to North America to sue the Conan Doyle Legacy? We all know that cross-border lawsuits are very difficult to fight, and this one has the support of several well-known lawyers. ”

"Seriously, I'm surprised myself, maybe I'm naturally lucky, and I just happened to meet these people who have a strong sense of justice, like Sherlock Holmes, and are willing to lend a helping hand. ”

Zhang Chu wanted to say that he spent a full five million to exchange for these lawyers, otherwise how could they have a sense of justice, but the Americans ate this.

"What some people can't do with all their hard work, you can do it easily, is there any secret?" Wu Qun asked curiously.

"There's no secret, if you do your best, you might not be as good as a genius like us. ”

This bowl of poisonous chicken soup makes Wu Qun want to scold people, knowing that you are a genius, please don't emphasize it repeatedly!

After Zhang Chu saw Wu Qun's expression, he added cheaply, "It is said that all roads lead to Rome, but some people were born in Rome, so don't compare with the rest." ”

After Wu Qun suffered several critical hits in succession, he decided not to ask for trouble anymore, and he directly asked about the mystery novel.

It's been a long time since I've spread poisonous chicken soup so happily, and Zhang Chu is still a little unsatisfied.

The one-glance interview was very boring, and Zhang Chu didn't know what he answered, anyway, looking at Gu Xinxue and Zhou Kang's expressions in the back, it proved that he could answer quite well.

"Mr. Zhang, we will publish this interview as soon as possible, thank you for taking the time to accept the interview. ”

Wu Qun stood up and shook hands with Zhang Chu, he had just asked a lot of questions, including mystery novels, fanworks, disputes in the poetry world, etc., which could give readers a more comprehensive understanding of the young man in front of them.

Zhang Chu felt a sense of relief, and he replied, "Then I'll wait and see." ”

When Wu Qun walked out of the living room, he found that only a few people were still waiting, and these people immediately surrounded him after seeing him.

"Lao Wu, why do you have to share the exclusive news when you get it?"

"Yes, you Southern Weekend won't release it until Thursday, quietly reveal the point, and drink it casually in Sanlitun tonight. ”

"Southern Weekend eats meat, we have to drink soup, how did Zhang Chu hook up with those lawyers? I don't believe that a random email can make a lawyer who has become a good lawyer, if they really have such a sense of justice, they will already win the Nobel Peace Prize. ”

"What the hell is Zhang Chu?"

They are all familiar buddies, and Wu Qun is embarrassed to refuse, but now that it's Wednesday, he must send the interview record back to the club immediately, otherwise it will be too late.

So he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "Big brothers, it's not that the brothers don't disclose, it's really time short, and I estimate that I will have to write a manuscript all night tonight." ”

……

Zhang Chu, who was still in the living room, picked up the water bottle and drank a sip of water, he really didn't want to conduct a second interview in the short term.

"Well said. Zhou Kang praised, "But tomorrow you have to cheer up, those reporters will definitely make things difficult for you, and now you have a mixed reputation on the Internet, don't take it to heart." ”

Zhang Chu patted his chest, "My heart is very big, it's normal to be scolded, it's not normal if you don't get scolded one day." ”

"Your copy of "Psychological Crime" will be released tomorrow, and now there are rumors that many film and television companies are interested in it and want to buy it and adapt it, so I'll try to contact it. ”

During the probationary period, Zhou Kang had to work hard, if he could confirm the film and television adaptation of "Psychological Crime", then his literary agent would basically be stable.

"Don't be in a hurry now, it's others asking for us, not us asking for others. Zhang Chu instructed that he didn't want the works he moved here to be changed at will, at least he had to make a high-quality product.

In this work, the male protagonist and the second male lead are very tense, and the plot is also full of ups and downs, whether it is a high box office or an award, it is very suitable.

Gu Xinxue also agrees that if this "Psychological Crime" is handed over to a powerful film company to produce, then the stimulating effect on the original novel will be very significant.

If it is handed over to a small workshop to operate, the quality of the work produced is not up to par, and which audience is willing to watch the original work of a bad movie?

Zhou Kang knew that he was a little too eager, and he replied: "It should be like this, we should take the initiative ourselves." ”

"By the way, are you planning to compete for this year's rookie king?" Gu Xinxue suddenly thought, "I think Zhang Chu's achievements this year are very dazzling, maybe he can really snatch the best newcomer of the year." ”

Every year, the General Administration of Press and Publication will release corresponding awards, such as the best work of the year, the best-selling work of the year, the writer of the year, the best new writer of the year, the best adaptation of the year, the best translated work of the year, and so on.

This kind of official award is still quite weighty, and the competition is quite fierce every year!

Obviously, the best-selling works can only rely on sales numbers, and the rest of the best words have to be a combination of word-of-mouth and sales, and selling well does not mean that it is the best.

Therefore, if Zhang Chu wants to enter the competition for the best new writer, then it is best to pay attention to the word-of-mouth marketing of the work now, not only the word-of-mouth of readers, but also the evaluation of people in the industry.

This is actually his weakness, because Zhang Chu didn't even join the Writers' Association, and people in the industry will definitely have emotional bias when selecting.

Zhang Chu couldn't help muttering: "It would be nice if there were the best-selling newcomer works of the year, and I didn't have to get those that I didn't." ”
