The promenade around Baker's Bay has always been the most desirable place, known as the Queen's Necklace, and faces Napoleon Bay like a crescent moon set on a beautiful beach.

Zhang Chu had nothing to do today, he was wearing a white shirt and waiting for the arrival of the little train by the sea breeze.

The cute Cannes sightseeing train has a retro shape and is an important channel for visiting Cannes.

Movies were already being shown in the morning, but it seemed that celebrities and reporters were not used to waking up early, and only a few tourists were taking pictures everywhere.

After spending 10 euros on this small train, Zhang Chu found that each seat was equipped with audio guides, including Chinese, which made him quite satisfied.

Putting on his sunglasses and taking a selfie with the ancient city of Sukh as the background, he completed his travel check-in task.

There weren't many people on the train, and everyone wasn't used to sitting next to strangers, so they were just happy to be at ease.

It's easy to get a quick overview of the city's style and history, with its colorful shops, old buildings and flowers.

There are still many people on the side of the road who take cameras to take pictures of the small train passing by them, and before they know it, Zhang Chu has successfully entered the camera in other people's photos!

Movies are an unavoidable topic in Cannes, and Zhang Chu still came to the Palais du Cinema after a walk, he has the highest level badge issued by the organizer and can enter any screening room.

"Which movie is better to watch?"

Zhang Chu was entangled, he had never understood the competitors of "Farewell My Concubine" before, and he didn't know which one was more in line with his appetite.

Yesterday's house catalogue had various movie introductions on it, Zhang Chu carefully checked it and decided to go to the premiere of the movie "Just the End of the World" to take a look, yesterday Leia watched her own movie, and today I will go to see her.

The film tells the story of a gay writer who returns to his hometown after years of wandering, and is ready to announce his imminent death to his family after being replaced by AIDS.

is also a LEBT-themed movie, "Farewell My Concubine" and "Just the End of the World" will inevitably be compared together, and the director of the latter film is the darling of Cannes, and the actors are all French lineup, so there will definitely be a bias on the Cannes side.

Zhang Chu plans to go to spy on the enemy situation and see how the other party's movie is!

It's just that the premiere was held at one o'clock in the afternoon, and it's only eleven o'clock in the morning, and there are still two full hours left.

So Zhang Chu simply turned around and walked towards the street of food and boutiques, he planned to fill his stomach first.

I tasted the dishes named after the movie at the Palme d'Or restaurant before, and this time he is going to try it at La Scala, which is a restaurant strongly recommended by Chinese and foreign netizens, and the taste should be good.

Pudding stall eggs, salted and dried cod and fish puree with fresh vegetables, as well as stewed assortment, braised beef in red wine, these dishes are a bit heavy, with a lot of spices such as thyme, rosemary, bay, tarragon leaves, olive oil and so on!

At this time, there were already many people in the restaurant, Zhang Chu was sitting alone by the window to enjoy the food, he was holding his mobile phone in one hand, and was checking the freshly baked book review of "The Lord of the Rings".

It has been two or three days since the release, and some readers who read the book relatively quickly, and readers who read ten lines at a glance have finished reading the content of these two or three hundred thousand words day and night.

The number of ratings on the page of Douban Reading has also gradually increased, and more than 10,000 people have commented on it so far, but it is estimated that many people have already rated the book before seeing it.

10,000 people scored, and the current score is only 8.8 points, which is a relatively low score among Zhang Chu's works.

And Zhang Chu himself was not particularly surprised, because he had already anticipated this situation when he chose this book, and it was already a good thing to be able to stay above 8.5!

Because the overall pace is relatively slow, and it is interspersed with a lot of content, such as poems, rocks, independently presented stories and chronicles, as well as self-created language, etc.

"The Lord of the Rings" is not a narrative in the traditional sense, and the protagonist is still so weak, they haven't even completed half of their journey after this one is written!

A netizen named Black Optical Drive gave "The Lord of the Rings" a five-star rating, and he wrote: "Zhang Chu's layout ability is getting stronger and stronger! In the work The Lord of the Rings, the world he writes about is like shrouded in fog. At first, you only know Charles and Brie, and Rivendell is limited to the shuttle of the locals, and then gradually Moria, Rohan, Gondor and other places are revealed to us one by one. From vaguely knowing the legend of the elves, to finally gradually knowing the history of the elves and humans and the story of the Lord of the Rings. This is consistent with the process of our understanding of the world, and he restores the process of our understanding of the world!]

Another netizen named IG Pharaoh only gave four stars: [I can understand that Zhang Chu is trying to create a new and complete world, this book has excellent skills in history, geography, species, origin, and language, but he has forgotten the readability! "The Lord of the Rings" is a good work, but it can only be seen from a distance, not read closely. 】

[What does a hobbit look like?] Teacher Zhang should draw a picture for us to see. 】

[Didn't Americans spray this racism? It's all white, as if there is no yellow or black person, and I'm glad that there are no black characters in it, in that case, I'll really go crazy.] Who wants to see black people in fantasy!]

[Although Frodo's strength is not strong, he can resist the temptation of the Lord of the Rings, and bravely advance towards the Doomsday Volcano, this is a great departure!]

[Originally, I wanted to give it five stars, but Gandalf died and deducted one star.] 】

[Sure enough, it's a trilogy, is the first part halfway through?, shouldn't it be until the third part to reach Mordor?]

[After reading it, it is worthy of Zhang Chu's work, and this time it has been improved again. 】

The first to buy the book are almost all his fans, and the reviews given by these fans are almost always with a little filter and beautification. If they encounter a plot that they can't watch, most of them will choose to endure it and continue to watch it.

The average reader may choose to scold or keep it in his heart, or even give up the work.

One of the comments really reminded him that Europe and the United States are the most human rights and political correctness, and if someone talks about racial discrimination, it will be difficult to deal with.

Originally, there were almost no black people in fantasy works, and if you had to shoehorn one in, it would be complete destruction!

"I have to remind Blair that they should first promote the history of fantasy, and that there were no black people in medieval Europe. ”

He wiped his mouth with a napkin, looked at the time of his watch, and asked the waiter to pay for it.

"Hello sir, someone has already paid for you. This is a note left by that gentleman for me to pass on to you. ”

Zhang Chu frowned and was a little stunned, someone actually paid for it, who could it be?

He didn't have many acquaintances in Cannes, could it be someone from a film company?

With such a guess, Zhang Chu opened the note, and the content on it made him cry and laugh: "Zhang, I like your work very much, I hope you can have a good time in Cannes." ”

There is no name left behind, and it is completely impossible to guess who this reader is.
