Chapter 628: The Impact of a Book [Three More Requests for Subscription]
The beauty of Istanbul seems to be blessed by heaven, the scenery under the sunset is so clear and transparent, a trace of splendor, the blue Qing Mosque, Hagia Sophia, the Bosphorus, the Princes' Island, Kola Church and other famous attractions have left their footprints.
The authentic Turkish kebab tasted very good and his trip alone was very comfortable.
After eating and drinking, Zhang Chu planned to take a ferry to Greece, which is just across the sea from Turkey on the long coastline of the Mediterranean.
However, he had to take the train to Fethiye first, this time via Greece, and then take a plane to Rome and the Vatican in Italy.
He has a hunch that after the book "The Da Vinci Code" is officially released, I am afraid that the Vatican will put itself on the blacklist, so hurry over now and take a look, there will be no chance in the future!
The travel plan is a plan, but it is not clear whether it can be implemented smoothly, Zhang Chu is doing the most ideal plan, anyway, there are visas for these Schengen countries in Europe, and it is the same to go to any country.
So he didn't even book a plane ticket, and when the time came, he would have a trip that he could just go.
On the train to Fethiye, Turkey, Zhang Chu was looking at the scenery on both sides of the train with full of inquiry, and his ears were in the language that the passengers couldn't understand, which felt very exotic!
"Uncle Zhou, have you arrived in Frankfurt?"
"Yes, I just got off the plane with Mr. Ye and them. It is said that many of the people on this plane were from the publishing and media industries, but unfortunately I didn't know anyone. Zhou Kang stood at the exit of the airport, waiting for the hotel to pick up the person.
He set off a day after Zhang Chu, so when Zhang Chu left Istanbul, the eight members of Hanlin Culture Media arrived in Frankfurt.
"Since you just got off the plane, is there anything urgent for me?"
is so anxious, obviously there is something right, otherwise who would be in such a hurry.
Zhou Kang sighed and said, "Director Yang from the Foreign Languages Bureau called me and wanted you to attend the opening ceremony of the China Pavilion in the Frankfurt Book Fair. Lao Gu secretly reported to me, originally he wanted to contact you directly, but Lao Gu reported my number. ”
"What do I need to do for this opening ceremony?" Zhang Chu has not participated in this kind of event yet, if the time is suitable for the itinerary, then of course there is no problem.
"According to Director Yang, it should be for you to be a mascot, at most accept media interviews or sign autographs for readers, etc. But the most important thing is that this opening ceremony is on October 4th, can you come?"
Zhang Chu has only been traveling to Europe for a week, and according to his plan, he will fly to the event on the evening of October 5, and if he wants to participate in the opening ceremony, he must leave on the evening of October 3.
At the moment, he has not even had time to go to cities such as Athens in Greece and Rome in Italy, and it is uncomfortable to change his itinerary for an opening ceremony.
So he said, "You can help me refuse, just say that I don't have the right time here in Europe or some other reason." ”
The agent originally sang the role of blackface, and it is not wrong to throw him anything that is not good to answer directly!
"Well, then you should be safe and don't forget the time of the press conference. ”
In fact, Zhou Kang had already guessed Zhang Chu's reaction, and if it was at the same time as the book launch, he would definitely agree, but it was almost impossible to come to the book fair so long in advance.
……
Lyre, who walks alone through the streets of Paris, has flown back to London from New York yesterday to visit his parents, and today he has taken the train from England to France.
The Eurostar high-speed train is very convenient, and it takes less time than an airplane, so Blair is holding his mobile phone in one hand to check the route involved in the Da Vinci code.
Inside, Paris has become a city of light that hides mysteries, shines with art history, and is even full of mysteries, where unexpected surprises and excitement are hidden everywhere!
Blair took the subway all the way, walked in the lanes of Paris, felt the completely different city appearance and history, and stopped in it, he seemed to feel the flow of thousands of years of memories in the book.
"It's a pity, if it's published, it should be a wonderful thing to have a book in your hand and explore the buildings inside all the way!"
Having never thought he would do such a thing, using his business trip to Paris to check the routes in The Da Vinci Code, Blair felt that this was not what a senior editor should do.
Standing on the ground square of the Louvre, he looked at the glass pyramid in front of him in a daze.
Who would have thought that something that was described in thick ink at the beginning would make such a big difference later in the text?
At first, Blair thought that Zhang Chu was describing the Louvre, describing the glass pyramid to help promote it for free, but he didn't react until he saw the end.
It turns out that this mystery has been hinted at all along, but it has not been discovered!
The pyramid-shaped entrance, which glows in the sunlight, is flanked by three smaller pyramids, and an inverted pyramid between the underground shopping malls that connect to it to the west of the Louvre.
It's just that Blair didn't go straight down, but stood in front of the glass pyramid and counted carefully, he wanted to see if it was made of 666 pieces of glass.
In front of this iconic building, tourists from different countries and regions stop to admire and take pictures.
Blair stared at the glass above and counted the people who became an anomaly, and everyone else looked at him in great bewilderment, not understanding what was there to count here!
"Could it be that this is recording what kind of speed forward, asking the contestants to count how many glasses there are?" said the reality show enthusiast, turning his head to look at the camera.
"Could it be that this is a YouTube blogger secretly shooting funny videos?"
"What's so good about this glass, and what is the mystery of it?"
Blair was so focused on counting that he took the words of others as the wind in his ears.
Today, I may be the only one here to count, but in a few days, "The Da Vinci Code" will be released, and a large group of people may gather here!
But unexpectedly, he saw a group of yellow-skinned Asians standing together pointing at him, and one of them came over and asked with questions: "Have you also read Zhang Chu's book?"
Blair, who was counting, nodded, he glanced at the group of people a little blankly, "You are Zhang Chu's editors, who is Gu?"
Gu Xinxue, who was named, showed a shy smile at this time, "I guess you must be Blair, it's nice to meet you." When we came out of the Louvre just now, we saw a person counting the number of glasses, I guess you must have seen "The Da Vinci Code", but I didn't expect to meet here, it's so fateful!"
Gu Xinxue's English was not standard, and his accent was very strong, but the gestures still made Blair understand what he meant.
"It's a pity you interrupted my numbers, I'm counting to over 500 and now I have to do it all over again. ”
"Then let me tell you the answer, it's not 666 pieces of glass, it's 675 pieces. ”
Blair's eyes widened, and a huge black question mark appeared on his head!
“hat?!!”
