Chapter 982: Terror Returns
If it weren't for the fact that the result of the news was very good, Zhang Chu would have wanted to scold, I had never seen such a pit of his own people, and the idea of picking it up first if there was a pustule here was very good, but racial discrimination is a dangerous topic, and if you stick it, you will lose a layer of skin.
If Universal Pictures hadn't stuffed the money, the Times would have said that it wouldn't publish such a news, which should have been an excuse for the rest of the studios that didn't get the rights to "The Lord of the Rings" to use the means.
Chris was also very happy, a few tens of thousands of pounds can have such a good effect, it can simply leave a strong mark on the history of propaganda, but unfortunately he didn't dare to speak, so he could only wait for the time to write his memoirs after retirement to explode this thing.
Originally, Zhang Chu was in a good mood, but now he was completely confused by Chris's words.
"I hope this is the last time, I'm still the safer one. ”
He is not afraid of being labeled as racist by the media and white leftists, he is afraid of discrediting "The Lord of the Rings", if Tolkien knew about it, it is estimated that he would have to go down from heaven to shoot Zhang Chu to death!
The Lord of the Rings was voted the greatest book of the twentieth century on Earth, and in the Amazon readers' poll, it was not even the greatest work of this century, but of 2,000 years!
No intellectual has shown much disappointment with such an outcome, as Tolkien's literary magnum opus has become ingrained in popular culture.
Such a masterpiece, if it is saddled with a black cauldron of racial discrimination because of the divine operation of pig teammates, it will be damned!
After Zhang Chu calmed down a little, he sat down in front of the computer and continued to write "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", which is the current focus.
There are still six volumes of content in the back, and if the update is slow, it may be updated until the New Year, and the battle line drags on a little long.
Anyway, now I finish writing quickly, and when the time comes, let the manuscript box be thrown away, and update it regularly every day, so as not to delay the effort of going out to play.
……
On the side of Hanlin Culture Media, Zhou Kang is sorting out the work arrangements during this time, and there is a boss who is busy writing books and attending classes all day long, and his workload is much easier in comparison, at least there is a whole company employee to share the work.
"Chinese Bridge wants to record the title and promotional photos, which has to be told to the boss in advance. The rest of these interviews shouldn't have a chance to meet, but it's a pity!"
Many entertainment stars are already overexposed, Zhang Chu has a face of small fresh meat, and these magazines have repeatedly submitted applications for interviews and covers, but they have never been agreed.
"GQ", "ELLE", "Phoenix Life", "Sanlian Life Weekly", "Esquire", "Nanfeng Window", "City Pictorial", each of these are well-known magazines, and if the entertainment industry artists can win one of the covers, fans will blow it up.
Now they have all been beaten into the cold palace by Zhou Kang, and these magazines are accompanied by invitations from some other foreign magazines, but it is a pity that Zhang Chu protects these well, and he is not willing to increase traffic to others in vain.
The fashion circle is the most snobbish, and whoever is popular is the vane of celebrities in the entertainment industry. Although fashion resources are not as difficult to obtain as before, they are still something that celebrities are eager to get, because it is the embodiment of star status and compulsion.
Zhang Chu is neither ready to make his C-position debut, nor does he want to set foot on the catwalk in Paris and New York, and the content created by these magazines is not consistent with himself, so he can't attract any new fans at all, but instead let die-hard fans spend money to buy these magazines to help increase the sales of the magazines.
He needs to be preserved, but some people can be popular when they wear a wig to cover their faces and sing, and they can become world-famous writers without going to these magazines!
""Farewell My Concubine" is really getting braver, and it's about to be the third weekend, should it stick to the release of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" before handing over the championship?"
It's summer!
As a literary film, it didn't have many highlights in the first weekend, but in the second weekend, it won the championship with all the movies, and now the third weekend is coming, and the single-day box office of "Megatron", which previously competed with it for the championship, has only left about 10 million in a single day, and "Farewell My Concubine" has attracted more and more audiences to the cinema with its good reputation.
As an old movie, in the case of the box office slump of the new film, there is even the possibility of continuing to win the championship.
"Ghost Blows the Lantern: The Essence of the Ancient City" will not meet the audience until three weeks after the release of "Farewell My Concubine", and almost everyone feels that the two movies will not meet together, let alone compete.
Of course, Zhou Kang hopes that the box office of the two movies will be as high as possible, but Zhang Chu's share in "Farewell My Concubine" is higher, and the one in Yida Pictures is slightly lower, only 5%!
Although there are not many people who pay attention to the book market, everyone can see the clues from the sales lists released in various places, Zhang Chu is definitely the first person today.
Not only is the new book "The Lord of the Rings" dominant, but the rest of "Farewell My Concubine", "Ghost Blows Out the Lantern 1" and "Ghost Blows the Lantern 2" occupy the front positions, as well as "Life of Pi" and "The Da Vinci Code" are up and down on the edge of the top ten.
The rest of the writers don't want to win the championship, and even the third place is impossible!
No one wants to bump into Zhang Chu, but these things are not for them to decide.
You can hide from new books, but you can't hide from old books.
Coupled with the fact that he releases new books so frequently, no one is sure that there will be new books suddenly announced next week.
When everyone is still working hard to sell more than one million copies of a single volume, this guy will break one million in pre-sales, which is not an order of magnitude at all, and comparing them together will only make people sad.
It's a nightmare for the rest of the people and publishing companies, but Hanlin Culture Media is very happy, and their bonuses will increase when their performance is good.
Last year's bonus was more than three times that of his peers, and this year, Zhang Chu's money has increased instead of decreasing, and it seems that the bonus will be very generous!
Zhou Kang is preparing materials now, and he wants to help Zhang Chu increase the royalty ratio in the contract. It's just that this should be a very difficult thing to do, because it was only raised once half a year ago, and the publishing company will never allow such a situation.
There are many well-known writers under Random House, and Zhang Chu's performance on their side is actually just getting started, from the beginning of the work "Sherlock" to the beginning of the work in North America to now it has been a full year and a half, and Zhang Chu's royalties have quickly risen from 10% to 15%.
What really helped Zhang Chu open up the situation was "The Da Vinci Code" last year, after his "Life of Pi" in the United States was on the New York Times bestseller list for a long time, but failed to reach the top.
In the first half of this year, "The Lord of the Rings" sprung up, and now "The Lord of the Rings 2" and "The Lord of the Rings 3" are still selling well, which makes Zhou Kang want to improve some treatment.
This requires long-term planning, and it is impossible to run directly to speak, at least wait for Zhang Chu to have a new work.
Now Zhang Chu is writing "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", and it is estimated that it is impossible for English to be born in a short period of time, so Zhou Kang is not too anxious.
The "Lord of the Rings" trilogy is enough for overseas readers to savor for a long time, so neither Random House nor Zhou Kang is urging Zhang Chu to hurry up and write a new book, but wants to let some time for these works to precipitate!
Sometimes it's not necessarily a good thing to launch a new book too quickly, and readers don't have time to savor the charm of the book before they are quickly attracted to the next book, which is actually not conducive to the spread of the book.
There are many more to-do events in Zhou Kang's hands, but none of them are too urgent, and there are very few that need to be done immediately.
……
As an office worker, going to bed before eleven o'clock guarantees that you will be able to get up the next morning when the alarm goes off at seven o'clock.
However, Huang Yu was a little excited today, and he couldn't sleep at all while lying in bed.
He didn't have time to work overtime for the first two days, and when he came back from work, he collapsed directly on the sofa, and if he hadn't lived with his parents, he might not even have dinner.
Just a few minutes ago, Huang Yu finished reading the latest chapters in the mobile phone client, and only a few chapters after saving it for two days, it is not fat at all to kill, and I can't wait to raise it for another ten days and twenty days!
However, chasing more is like this, if you don't look at it, your heart will itch and panic, and you feel that something is missing in your heart.
And when he swept away the updated content of the previous works, his eyes stayed on "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", the statement of the re-update was two days ago, and he hadn't seen a new chapter for a year, and now Huang Yu has a posture of not waiting for the update.
It is not updated for a whole year, and the readership is very serious.
If there were nearly 100,000 subscriptions before, maybe now there are only one-tenth or even less subscriptions for updated chapters, which is the punishment of breaking off, even if it is a great god.
It's true that someone has been waiting, but that's definitely not everyone!
"It's going to be zero o'clock soon, will there be an update?"
Huang Yu yawned, and then wrapped the air conditioner tightly, the temperature was adjusted a little low, so that he had to cover it tightly to be comfortable.
The left is not updated, and the right is not updated, after Huang Yu refreshed the bookshelf, he switched to the readership group, and wanted to ask these like-minded friends about the specific time.
As a result, as soon as I joined the group, I saw the latest news!
"Updated! Updated!"
"Go and see! Five chapters in a row, I won't talk about it!"
"Really, it's false? If you deceive, you're going to be silenced."
Then someone directly threw a screenshot, and the content of the screenshot is not something that PS can get.
Huang Yu was angry and excited, he didn't update it when he just refreshed it, but it was updated after he ran to QQ, is there a grudge?
Spit and complain, but the book still has to be read.
Fortunately, he subscribes automatically, and you can enter the last reading place after clicking on the works on the bookshelf directly, which is more convenient and trouble-free.
Huang Yu clicked to the right side of the phone screen and entered the next chapter.
The chapter that was updated a minute ago has a new volume title, called Yunnan Worm Valley, and the name of the first chapter of this volume is Car Accident!
As a fan who has been waiting for a year, Huang Yu suddenly sighed in his heart, who had a car accident?
Any one of the gold trio has a car accident that he can't accept, this is simply abuse!
[After returning to Yanjing, we successfully held the second congress in Yanjing's time-honored delicious restaurant. After the fat man ate three plates of fried shrimp with oil from the old Shanghai, the meeting successfully passed the resolution to go to southern Yunnan to dump the bucket......]
When it comes to southern Yunnan, Wang Fatzi thinks of beautiful, enthusiastic and generous ethnic minority girls.
However, what are the five golden flowers Ashima, these are all artistic processing in film and television dramas, and they can't be taken seriously, there are indeed many beautiful girls in them, but there is a big crisis hidden, and there are many Gu women who are good at using Gu.
Seeing this, Huang Yu couldn't help but think, since this volume is called Worm Valley, it will definitely have an indissoluble relationship with Gu worms.
And now that the Miao witch is mentioned, could it be that Hu Bayi met a simple Miao girl, and as a result, he abandoned the family from the beginning to the end, and was retaliated by the sister with a witch Gu?
It's not that Huang Yu looks down on Wang Fatzi, but he really thinks that this person stays on the lips most of the time, and the sexual encounters in it must belong to Hu Bayi.
As for whether Shirley Yang will be jealous at that time, and whether the entire gold-touching team will be suspicious because of this, it is a matter of later story, anyway, there will definitely be twists and turns.
Huang Yu usually glances at ten lines, but when he watched "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", he obviously slowed down, and in many places he would stop and read carefully, and keep these words in mind, maybe it would be involved later, and he didn't want to watch it again.
I don't know when the saying that Miao people are good at Gu started, there are many rumors about it in southern Yunnan and Xiangxi, and they are divided into flower seedlings, green seedlings, black seedlings, etc., each with its own things that they are good at mastering.
The story developed quite quickly, and after the wine table finished speaking, he shifted his attention to southern Yunnan.
This time, they didn't fight an unprepared battle, not only did they buy three pistols and various medicines from their comrades with big gold teeth, and then they pretended to be the staff of the Natural History Museum to catch butterflies in the forest as specimens to cover up their inverted behavior.
The road conditions in the mountainous areas of southern Yunnan are obviously not very good, the slopes are steep and the roads are narrow, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will rush out of the cliffs, and beyond the cliffs is the choppy Lancang River.
"Could it be that there was a car accident, and the bus went directly to the bottom of the cliff, right?" Huang Yu shuddered, he really didn't want such a thing to happen, the gold trio must be fine with the protagonist's halo possession, but what about the rest of the innocent passengers?
Fortunately, the next plot made Huang Yu feel a little more at ease, although the bus braked suddenly, it didn't hit a person, but a stone figurine!
The middle of the stone figurines was empty, and all the white worms that crawled out of it were crushed by the wheels, and the scene was a little disgusting.
At this time, Shirley Yang saw a little clue from the stone figurines, which may be the craftsmanship of the King Sacrifice Period.
As soon as they came to southern Yunnan, they learned from the local population that this stone figurine is not an exception, and these stone figurines often appear near Shalong Mountain.
If it's okay in the rest of the place, it's obviously a problem here, as long as you follow this clue, it shouldn't be difficult to find Worm Valley!
Huang Yu watched it with relish, the familiar feeling finally returned, it was still the same horror, or the same expectation, so what adventures would there be in the next inverted journey?
