Chapter 845: The limelight is not the same for a while
Located on the second floor of the Hilton Hotel, the press conference site was full of people, and many media reporters and onlookers crowded the room.
Zhou Kang stood on the side of the road and waited anxiously, "Why haven't you come here yet, this press conference is about to start! If you are late, the media will say that he is playing a big name again!"
This time, the actors of the TV series have not been selected, and now the official appearance is nothing more than to warm up in advance, and when the actors are selected, they will directly contact the TV station and video website.
Good TV series never have no way out, and many of them have already sold things before filming, so they are basically sure to make a profit.
The kind of work that requires asking grandpa to sue grandma to sell is naturally extremely risky!
Fortunately, his worries didn't last long, and it was not yet two o'clock in the afternoon when the familiar and unobtrusive car came to a smooth stop on the side of the road.
Zhang Chu opened the car door, he greeted Zhou Kang and asked, "Uncle Zhou, why are you standing on the side of the road waiting?
"There are a lot of people, and the number of media outlets has come. If you're interviewed, pay a little attention to your words. ”
"Well, that's for sure. Let's get over it. ”
Zhang Chu, who was wearing a casual suit, took his agent Zhou Kang and bodyguard Shen Kai and walked straight to the second floor.
The reporters who were fiddling with the cameras and cameras suddenly heard some agitation behind them, and they all turned their heads to look behind them.
I saw a handsome young man walking from a group of reporters like Moses in the Bible, and everyone nearby took a step back to get out of the way!
The machine in their hands did not stop, and the flashing lights that kept coming on were simply blinding.
Why are so many people coming to the scene this time?
The first is, of course, to give the relevant departments a face.
After all, this is a TV series led by relevant departments, and the main theme work is Miaohong.
Most of the rest are coming for Zhang Chu!
The most profitable writer in the country is probably also the most low-key writer, who has achieved so many honors, but he still calmly attends school at Yenching University, and there are too many questions to ask.
What's more, this time there is also Zhang Chu's investment in the TV series.
Self-made, he has now spanned several different fields in the entertainment industry, and his growth speed is amazing!
Not even Elon Musk's rocket is so fast.
"Zhang Chu look here. ”
"Zhang Chu, didn't you have class today?"
"What is it like to invest in your own work?"
At this time, representatives of various companies also came out one after another.
However, among the middle-aged and elderly people, Zhang Chu's little fresh meat is particularly conspicuous.
But no one questioned him, the book was written by him, the story was made up by him, and the TV series also had a 20% investment.
If Zhang Chu can't sit on the stage, then no one has this qualification.
enjoyed the treatment of a star, Zhang Chu was shaking hands with the representatives on the stage at this time.
Everyone was embarrassed to say too many things in front of the reporters, but they all looked at each other, smiled, and nodded.
Although there are no stars, after seeing the names on the stage, reporters also know that the background of "In the Name of the People" is against the sky.
The Supreme People's Procuratorate, the China Writers Association, the National Propaganda Front, the Jiangdong Provincial Writers Association, the chief producer of the Jindun Film and Television Center of the Military V Logistics Support Department, the director of the Program Trading Center of Xiangnan Radio and Television Station, the deputy general manager of Penguin Video, several major investors, etc.
On the side of the crew, only director Lin Lu and Zhang Chu, the original author and screenwriter, were present, and Zhang Chu also hung his name on the producer's side.
Even Hollywood can be named when filming "The Da Vinci Code", and the treatment after returning to China is certainly not lower than in Hollywood!
After the release of "The Da Vinci Code", he will be able to apply for membership in the Producers Association, so as to open up his contacts to a greater extent.
Because Hollywood is a producer-centered system, the best over there are producers.
On the Chinese side, it is director-centric, but it is changing.
Although the reporters endured it very hard, the first question was aimed at the director Lin Lu, because he was the nominal person in charge of the TV series!
A reporter from Phoenix Entertainment asked, "May I ask why Director Lin Lu chose to take over this TV series?"
Lin Lu is not a nobody, and he is also an accomplished person in the film and television industry.
He used to be the deputy director of Nandu Film Studio and the director of the TV drama production center of Sudong Provincial TV Station, not only has a wide range of contacts, but also has excellent professional knowledge, and has filmed many excellent works, such as the first work "Little Radish Head" won the Golden Eagle Award and the Feitian Award, and then there are "I don't want to go home", "I want to go home", "The Happiness of the Boss", "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" and other masterpieces.
Faced with the reporters' questions, Lin Lu was prepared in his heart, and replied unhurriedly: "I actually finished reading this book last week, and my daughter recommended me to read it." She said, Dad, you must read this book, it's very good. It's just that there are no physical books, and people like me, who don't know much about the Internet, still read it slowly with her help, and as a result, they were immediately attracted by the intricate character relationships and suspenseful plots in it. It just so happened that I was familiar with Mr. Chen, so I took the initiative to call to see if it worked. Now that I'm sitting here, you'll know if it's useful!"
Zhang Chu knew that this director was really recommended by Mao Sui, and they didn't consider this person in the first place, but aimed at those directors who have been shooting main theme film and television works for a long time.
Lin Lu has filmed the main theme, and at the same time, he also knows what the general public wants to watch, and can make a TV series that is both Zhuang and harmonious.
Although Penguin Video is one of the investors, Penguin Entertainment is not closely related to it, so it is a bit provocative to ask.
"May I ask Mr. Xiao Zhang, are you satisfied with Director Lin Lu's coming to shoot this TV series?
Dig a hole in the open!
Zhang Chu tested the microphone in front of him, and he said: "If the satisfaction is 100 points, I will give the director 150 points." It is our honor to have Director Lin Lu, who has his own understanding of the plot. In the script, we listen to whoever is reasonable, and there will often be debates because of these issues, and it is a good thing to have a debate, and it is worse to be a word. ”
The reporter of Xin Lang Reading did not let Zhang Chu go, and then asked: "As a screenwriter, you have won international awards, and you have also written scripts such as "Sherlock" and "Life of Pi", is this script created independently?"
"The script of any film and television work cannot be written by a single person, we are all a team of screenwriters, and everyone has a signature. This time is the same, the screenwriting team is very strong, not only me and Director Lin Lu, but also four other members. ”
The firepower was unexpectedly concentrated on Zhang Chu, and the rest of the people became decorations, and they were happy to relax.
Their identities are not simple, and they don't want to win attention, so just let Zhang Chu attract firepower alone!
"It's said that now that you're writing a new book, can you balance the time-consuming things of going to school, writing the book, and writing the screenplay?"
"You posted a text on the Internet before, is the new book going to meet us soon?"
"What are the plans of the actors of the TV series?
"Is the new book a fantasy theme as netizens speculated?"
"What's the name of the new book you're writing?"
"Will the new book be serialized or will it be published directly?"
"That year, the second season of those things about the rabbit repeatedly broke records, is there a plan for the third season?"
Zhang Chu seemed to be the only one on the entire stage, and the eyes of the reporters and the cameras were all aimed at him.
It is obviously the press conference of the TV series "In the Name of the People".
But it seems to have become Zhang Chu's personal press conference!
Most journalists are curious about his new book.
In fact, this is also to be expected.
A TV series has not announced the list of actors, what does it rely on to attract netizens to click?
It's better to ask the name and subject matter of Zhang Chu's new book.
That's what makes it interesting!
Zhang Chu also has a headache, he seems to have stolen all the limelight!
In the face of reporters' questions, he could only pick and choose what he could say to answer, and he made up his mind that he would never appear again in a short period of time, and it was a terrible feeling to be surrounded by so many cameras and so many microphones.
"This is the scene of the press conference of "In the Name of the People", after I briefly answer my personal questions, please pay attention to the TV series, okay?"
"No problem!"
"Good!"
"Listen to you. ”
Zhang Chu used a consultative tone, and only after getting the consent of the reporters did he simply break the news.
"My new book is indeed an imaginary Western fantasy, but it is not a simple kind, but a whole world. The Chinese name is tentatively the Lord of the Rings, and the English name is The Lord of the Rings. It is expected that the first part will be written in May or longer, and then the second part will be written together with the third part, and the sequel to Ghost Blowing the Lantern will be moved back depending on the situation. ”
The reporters at the scene all understood that Zhang Chu's works could not be released only in China, there was already a broad market abroad, and they were fantasy works, so they were in the middle.
When the title, genre, and writing plan were revealed, reporters whispered and digested the news.
In order to be the first to publish, someone directly sent these two names back to the editorial office, and the whole newsletter went out to talk about it.
"Looks like this time he wants the whole big. ”
"Write all three in one sitting?"
"Why are Chinese and English names different? Isn't it good to just take a name? Either it's called the Lord of the Rings or the Lord of the Rings, which makes it so complicated. ”
"If something goes wrong in the future, who will be responsible?"
"If only 'The Da Vinci Code' were a bestseller, the trilogy might become the best-selling title in the world this year. ”
"It's finally worth the trip and finding something good. ”
……
The project conference is still going on, and all the media on the Internet have invariably launched reports!

The Paper: [Your long-awaited title has finally appeared, and Zhang Chu has announced the title of the new book in Chinese for the first time. 】
Sohu Reading: ["The Lord of the Rings" or "The Lord of the Rings"? Which name do you prefer?]
Messages like this directly began to swipe the screen, making Xu Jinyu, who had just opened Weibo, stunned.
Isn't it just a writer announcing the title of a book?
How to make it seem like the whole world is celebrating!
It doesn't matter what it's called.
I wouldn't have seen it anyway.
Xu Jinyu silently laughed in his heart, "This is obviously marketing! Such a young billionaire is still made by writing." It's nothing more than trying to trick us into writing a book, I'd better go to Dubai to pick up garbage. ”
As a game boy, he likes King's Canyon and exciting battlefields, and he really can't be interested in reading.
There was a lot of discussion about the Lord of the Rings on Weibo, and Xu Jinyu was really upset when he saw it.
Just turn off the Weibo client, and then enter the post bar to see what those old irons are talking about.
With the rise of various social software and the gradual departure of the gods, the place where there were once tens of millions of active users has become more and more lifeless, and it looks like a strong man in his twilight years.
However, the first recommended post on the Paste Bar client made him roll his eyes.
[What do you think of the title of Zhang Chu's new book "The Lord of the Rings"?]
There have been more than 300 replies to the recommended post from the emperor bar, but Xu Jinyu doesn't plan to read it.
"Can't be provoked, can't I still hide?"
Xu Jinyu felt that he probably didn't agree with Zhang Chu's eight characters, and why was he swiped by this name everywhere.
He didn't believe that he could come across this product even if he went to watch an anime.
It happens that today, Tuesday, is the time when "What Happened to That Rabbit" is updated weekly.
As a VIP of Penguin Video, he can watch the episode that has just been updated without waiting until the next two weeks.
He likes this story very much.,It's different from the anime I've seen before.,Since he was in the space by his classmate Amway, he directly chased the first season.,Now it's chasing the second season.。
"It's finally updated.,But the barrage seems to be a little thin.,I should see it later.。 ”
If this anime doesn't cooperate with the barrage, he, a scumbag of history, will be a little confused about the black words and symbols.
A total of one episode is less than six minutes, so Xu Jinyu didn't plan to skip the beginning, he was really reluctant.
Usually he didn't notice the names at the beginning of the film, but when he swept it over today, his brows jumped!
"Why is it him again, the ghost is not gone!"
At the beginning of "Those Things About the Rabbit That Year", the words "adapted from Zhang Chu's comic of the same name" are written.
This line of words has always existed, but it has never been remembered by Xu Jinyu.
can't escape, can't hide, who made Zhang Chu in the limelight for a while, and his traces are everywhere on the Internet!
