Flying from the slightly cool southern hemisphere to the hot northern hemisphere, Zhang Chu felt that the clothes in his suitcase could really be thrown away, and they were not a season at all.

Los Angeles Airport is as bustling as ever, with passengers coming and going, and many reporters with long guns and short cannons waiting for the stars to follow.

It's just that no one pays attention to the Asian young man in front of him who is pushing a box and looking around, and even though the Hollywood entertainment reporter has amazing eyesight and can see through stars like Leonardo from various disguises, not many outsiders like Zhang Chu know.

The famous fan anecdotes and Google Translate news a few days ago all made the name "Zhang Chu" famous, not that many people will know about him himself.

"Where is the person who picked up the plane, it can't be a pigeon?"

Zhang Chu stood outside the exit and waited anxiously, and a fat black policeman outside kept his eyes on him from time to time, as if he was wary of something.

This time the trip should have been arranged by Hanlin Culture Media, but its own brokerage company only has business in China, and it is basically beyond its strength abroad, so it is okay to help book a hotel, and the rest can't help.

It just so happened that he would come to Random House for a book signing, so the North American branch of Random House couldn't wait to take the job.

Usually, Random House is too far away from Zhang Chu, and it is inconvenient to contact feelings, but this time it is hard to look forward to the stars and the moon to Zhang Chu coming to the United States, of course, he has to be hospitalized!

What's more, this is one of the services of Random House, and the rest of the writers usually enjoy this treatment.

For a top-selling author like him, any publishing company will treat him with the most VIP courtesy, cash cow and cornucopia!

The midsummer sun shines on his body is really a little sunburned, Zhang Chu can only open his mobile phone in the strong light after putting on his sunglasses, he is not willing to wait blindly here, he is going to call the contact person at Random House to say it, and then take a taxi to the hotel.

As a result, before he could call out, someone patted him on the shoulder, which made Zhang Chu very alert!

Hearing that the security in the United States is very bad, and robberies and thefts often occur, his first reaction was to put away his mobile phone and cover the shoulder bag on his chest with the other hand.

Under the bright future, there are still police over there, are you in trouble?

"Hi, I've kept you waiting. ”

The familiar voice made Zhang Chu's vigilance relax when he mentioned his throat, and he exhaled, a false alarm.

Turning around, the decadent figure with short dark blonde hair on the other side was Blair!

Zhang Chu opened his arms to give him a hug, and then said, "I thought I had encountered a robbery just now, thank God, you finally came." ”

Blair spread his hands and apologized, saying, "I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with the road conditions in Los Angeles, I got off the wrong road on the highway and finally arrived after a circle." Let's get in the car first, we can't stop here for too long. ”

"So, why did you pick me up?"

Obviously, Blair should be working in New York at this time, but he came to Los Angeles to be Zhang Chu's guide, and the most terrible thing is that this guide doesn't know Los Angeles at all!

Pit goods, encountered a peerless pit goods!

Blair put Zhang Chu's suitcase in the trunk, then returned to the driver's seat and explained: "You are now the best-selling writer in North America this year, and when you want to come here to sign sales, I haven't even prepared to ask for leave, but the leader asked me to get out of Los Angeles to pick you up immediately, for fear that you will contact other publishing companies." ”

The publishing industry is also under competitive pressure, and this year, Zhang Chu used "The Da Vinci Code" to dominate the charts in the first two months, and the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy in the next few months to dominate the New York Times bestseller list.

That's not all, books are a long-term sales job, and now that the sales have been successful, the follow-up may be even more successful with the blessing of movies!

"Don't worry, your Random House has a strong distribution network, and I haven't changed my mind for the time being. ”

Zhang Chu looked at his watch and found that it was still the time in New Zealand, but he was too lazy to change it at this time, so he had to find Los Angeles in the clock of his mobile phone and change it automatically.

Blair nodded and said, "I'm glad to hear this, I guess my boss will be even happier." You can't imagine how much people value you, you're just a natural writer!"

When he was transferred from London to New York, Blair felt like he was going crazy.

There are no familiar writers, all of them are unfamiliar environments, so he went all the way to Yanjing to find Zhang Chu to sign the two books "Sherlock" and "Life of Pi", which is probably the most correct and wise decision he has ever made in his life!

These two works are only small explosions at best, but the later works are out of control and become the brightest stars in the North American publishing industry.

The spacious highway was full of all kinds of vehicles, Zhang Chu looked out the window and said: "How is today's itinerary arranged, do you know to go to the allen show studio? If you don't know, we still have to set up a navigation." ”

"Don't worry, I've already been on the road yesterday, and I'll start recording at one o'clock in the afternoon, and now I'll be able to take time to have a quick lunch after taking you to the hotel. I don't know if the Ellen Show notified you, this time your talk show will only be broadcast for less than 10 minutes, but it may be recorded for 1 hour, so that it is convenient to edit relevant materials. The signing session is scheduled for 4 p.m., and you don't know how hot it is, but we'll pass by the signing location later, and you'll see. ”

Blair was still well prepared and didn't mess things up.

Zhang Chu stretched his waist and responded with a yawn: "I was really born to work hard, I hope everything goes smoothly today, and there are not too few people coming." ”

"You're really underestimating the influence of your work in North America, it was only nine o'clock in the morning when I came over, and there were already a lot of people queuing up there!"

"Really?"

"If you don't believe it, see for yourself. Do you think that millions of copies of The Lord of the Rings in North America were bought by aliens?"

The Grove Mall in the heart of Los Angeles has the best selection of goods, the streets are filled with double-decker vintage sightseeing buses and the dancing fountains attract many passers-by.

"See, that Barnes & Noble bookstore is full of people inside and out, what do you think they're waiting for?"

"Are you waiting for me?"

Zhang Chu secretly rejoiced in his heart.

"That's right, the Starbucks next to the bookstore is full of your readers. They have been waiting for you for a long time, and many people have driven hundreds of kilometers to come here after seeing our propaganda!"

"I hope there is a bookstore that can accommodate a lot of people, otherwise it will be a problem. ”

Zhang Chu knew when he wrote these books that they would definitely be a hit, but now he feels even more shocking!
