Neil's spoken language surprised Zhuang Yan a little, but it didn't take too much professionalism to hire him, Neil just needed to translate something for him at a critical moment.

As for the translation of the speech on stage, it is natural that the organizing committee of the Courier Award will arrange it.

"It's okay, just treat me like a regular tourist. Zhuang Yan said with a smile.

Neil was still very apprehensive, but he also smiled, "Teacher Zhuang, I will try my best to do a good job." ”

"Well, let's go. ”

The three of them left the hotel and walked directly towards the chorus auditorium.

As soon as he walked to the door, a reporter recognized Zhuang Yan, surrounded him in twos and threes, and asked a lot of questions.

Zhuang Yan didn't understand, and looked at Neil, and Neil was also a little confused, there were too many things that these reporters asked just now, and he didn't know where to start translating.

Probably knowing Neil's difficulties, Zhuang Yan said, "You let them ask one by one, just let his red-clothed gentleman ask first." ”

Neil translated Zhuang Yan's words, and the male reporter in red looked very excited, handed the microphone to Zhuang Yan's mouth, and said a lot.

"He's a reporter from Channel 3, his name is Adrian, and he asked you how you feel about winning the International Courier Award, and how you feel about being in France for the first time. ”

Zhuang Yan nodded, "Thank you very much to the judges of the International Courier Award for awarding me this award, of course I am very honored personally." I won't say too much, otherwise I won't have to say anything after I take the stage for a while. As for the first time in France, it was very good to feel that I had a lot of style that I couldn't feel at home. ”

Through the translation, the reporters smiled heartily when they heard Zhuang Yan's answer.

Then Zhuang Yan ordered another female reporter.

"Mr. Zhuang Yan, I heard that you were a guest at Mr. Romain Rolland's house before, can you take the liberty of asking what you talked about? What opinion does he have expressed about your works, and what do you think of Mr. Romain Rolland's works?"

Zhuang Yan raised his eyebrows, the hexagram ability of the French reporter is not weaker than that of the Hollywood reporter, he went to Romain Rolland's house as a guest of a completely private nature, but he didn't expect to be known by the other party.

But this is a very common thing, as a public figure, the so-called power, sometimes just a decoration, to this extent he is still acceptable.

"I may be disappointed, but I went to Mr. Romain Rolland's house and didn't discuss anything related to him, we chatted with each other more like two friends. Mr. Romain Rolland is a very respectable master, although just chatting as usual, also benefited me a lot. ”

"Do you mean, you and Romain Rolland are like-minded and have become very good friends at first sight?"

Nima, the French reporter is not easy to deal with, Zhuang Yan scolded secretly, the smile on his face remained unchanged, "At least in my heart, Mr. Romain Rolland is my mentor and friend, okay, the award ceremony will start in a while, and I will go in now." ”

Then regardless of the long guns and short guns of these reporters, Zhuang Yan took Yao Qian and them into the auditorium.

But he hadn't finished the reporter level yet, because there was a long red carpet in the auditorium, and a group of reporters were gathered on both sides.

Zhuang Yan pursed his lips, the current awards ceremony is like a film festival, and the red carpet that is dozens of meters long is too eye-catching, and suddenly, he thought he was in Cannes.

In fact, after arriving on the red carpet, Neil has no effect, because the reporters here ask questions in English, and Neil's English is not as good as Zhuang Yan.

Seeing that he was useless, Neil took the initiative to step back, he knew that it was very inappropriate for him to appear on the red carpet.

The reporters' questions were similar, Zhuang Yan was an old oilman, and he coped with it in an orderly manner, but even so, this section of the red carpet took a long time.

After the red carpet was over, under the leadership of the staff, Zhuang Yan and they found their place.

Probably as a sign of importance, Zhuang said that their seats were arranged in the first row, only a stone's throw away from the podium.

No one would have an opinion on arranging the seats in this way, after all, there were not many authors like Zhuang Yan who were well-known all over the world, and there were not many in the entire auditorium.

There are many awards for the International Courier Award, and the most important award in the middle is naturally the Outstanding Novel Award, but this award is only awarded to French writers, and the winner of this year's Outstanding Feature Award is Sophie Marceau, who has a name with a movie star in later generations, but Zhuang Yan has never heard of this writer, and it should only be famous in France.

With the change of times, gradually, the status of France in the world has slowly declined, since Zhuang Yan came out strong, at least in terms of commercial value, French works have been completely defeated.

In addition to the Feature-length Award, another important award is the Foreign Award, which is an affirmation of works other than those made in France, and there is only one at a time, that is, the jury considers that being alive is the best work except for France.

Of course, because the award was given to Zhuang Yan, who is now hot, it also added a bit of color to this award, in a sense, this time the International Courier Award foreign award has stolen the limelight of the outstanding feature-length award.

The reporters who came to the auditorium also seemed to pay more attention to Zhuang Yan, the winner of the foreign award.

At this time, in China, the night was dark, and it was less than four o'clock in the morning, but many people had already gotten up from their beds and turned on the TV, these people were loyal fans of Zhuang Yan, and they had already learned the news that Zhuang Yan had won the International Courier Award.

For this International Courier Award, CCTV 1 bought the broadcast rights and conducted a simultaneous live broadcast. Because it was relatively late, the broadcast rights did not cost much money.

Because the award ceremony has not yet started, the two hosts in charge of the live commentary are chatting.

"Director Zhang, you are a practitioner in the industry, can you tell the audience about France? I think that when the award ceremony begins, many viewers may be confused when they see the author receiving the award. The younger commentator said with a smile.

Director Zhang next to him said modestly, "I am a practitioner in the industry, but I just know a little. As for France, it is also an important research topic in the field, after all, it has occupied a pivotal position in the international literary scene for centuries. Not far away, Dumas and Alexandre Dumas had only been dead for a long time, as well as Victor Hugo, and probably many viewers in front of the television, a little older, who witnessed the death of these people"11
