On April 8, 2003, after a year, Chen Xueqian's third novel was officially launched in the United States. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

On the day of the sale, there were long queues in front of many bookstores. This spectacle was probably only available in later generations when Apple was released. In addition, there are many secondary school girls in the ranks.

The majority of readers of this "Hunger Games" are girls, which is naturally inseparable from the fact that the protagonist of the novel is a girl.

The long queue in front of the library also attracted many journalists.

A reporter interviewed a girl with blonde hair, "Why are you in such a hurry to buy this book?" ”

"Because Katniss is so handsome, I love her to death, and I want to know who she's going to end up with!" The beautiful girl shouted in complete fanaticism.

On the other side, a reporter saw a green in the middle of the long line, and a high school boy stood in the middle of a large group of girls with a cramped face.

When the reporter interviewed him, the boy was a little shy and did not dare to look at the camera, and he reluctantly replied after the reporter's constant questioning: "I especially like the grand background of this book, and I have always wanted to draw a map for this novel." ”

Looking at this boy, a few girls on the side kept teasing him. Throughout the interview, the boy was blushing.

There was no doubt that all the entertainment newspaper headlines the next day were dominated by this sweeping novel.

Unlike other newspapers, the Los Angeles Times was fortunate to interview Chen Xueqian himself.

"Chen, as far as we know, your latest work has been an unprecedented success, what do you think is the secret of your success?"

Chen Xueqian looked at the reporter sitting in front of him and scratched his head a little helplessly, and finally replied: "I think the reason why everyone likes this book so much is because of the positive spirit shown by the characters in this book!" ”

In fact, Chen Xueqian originally had no intention of being interviewed today, but when the other party offered to help him promote the new movie for free, Chen Xueqian hesitated for a moment, and finally agreed.

After all, publicity expenses are not a trivial matter, as the third largest newspaper in the United States, the "Los Angeles Times" helped promote his new movie for free, and Chen Xueqian still has great expectations.

The reporter sent by the Los Angeles Times is a blonde female reporter, specifically beautiful and ugly, Chen Xueqian, a Chinese, has no concept, but the other party's figure is indeed very hot.

Just as Chen Xueqian was looking at the other party, the reporter on the other side was also looking at Chen Xueqian. For Chen Xueqian, almost every American is particularly curious, but this Chinese teenager can write such a wonderful English novel, considering the age of the other party, it is simply an incredible miracle.

However, the other party not only wrote English novels, but also drew so many manga and light novels in Japan, so that you can't doubt the strength of the other party at all.

The reporter, a columnist for the Los Angeles Times, volunteered to come when she heard that she had the opportunity to interview Mr. Chen. However, there are many people who have ideas about this trip, but in the end, she got the opportunity.

As for the reason, is it the reason that she is the daughter of the editor-in-chief?

Before the interview began, Chen Xueqian glanced at the press card on the other party's chest and knew that the other party's name was Katie.

"Chen, I think you should have heard that yesterday's release of your new book can be said to be unprecedented, do you feel about it?" Katie's first question was polite, even a little caring.

Chen Xueqian knew that this was a benefit that he had earned at his age.

"I did hear about it, and I was a little flattered by it, and I am very grateful to all my book lovers, and in order to repay everyone, I will continue to write wonderful stories for everyone in the future!"

Hearing Chen Xueqian's words, Katie's eyes lit up.

"Chen, I just noticed that you mentioned a new book, so do you already have an idea?"

Chen Xueqian nodded happily when he heard this: "Actually, I have two new books now, of course, both in English, but I'm thinking about which one to release first." ”

As the most watched writer in the past two years, Chen Xueqian's new book has naturally attracted a lot of attention from the American public.

"So, Chen, can you tell us what kind of subject the new book is?" Katie asked, suppressing the excitement in her heart.

Chen Xueqian nodded happily again: "Yes, in these two books, one of them contains tears in sadness." The other is a story about a magical love. ”

"Why do I always think I'm going to cry when I hear it?" Katie was stunned for a moment when she heard this.

Chen Xueqian suddenly laughed, "Your feeling is not wrong, these two books are tear gas bombs, I think many people will cry and swollen their eyes." ”

Saying that, Chen Xueqian laughed a little ill-willedly.

Katie immediately understood that this was probably a bad taste of Chen Xueqian, but in the face of such a writer who can make you cry and make you laugh, what can you say?

"We've noticed that one of your previous films with Warner seems to have been terminated?" Katie asked a few more questions, and the topic shifted to the much-hyped termination of the contract a while ago.

For this matter, the two sides have never responded positively!

"It's true that I originally wrote a script and Warner was very optimistic about it, but then something happened, and we had to terminate the contract."

"So what is the specific reason, can you tell me?"

Chen Xueqian nodded when he heard this: "Actually, there is nothing bad to say, I hope to be more involved in my script, so I put forward the intention of co-investing with Warner, originally Warner has agreed, but after some consideration, they still gave up this way of cooperation." ”

"So we heard that Chen, you are going to make this movie yourself, is this true?" Katie continued.

"It's true, I'm going to do it myself." Chen Xueqian nodded when he heard this.

"But, Chen, are you planning to be your own director?" Katie asked, surprised.

Chen Xueqian spread his hands and said: "You know, I have invited many directors, but they all said that they were not interested in my films, so I had to come by myself." ”

Even though Katie actually knew the news in advance, she heard Chen Xueqian say that she could only come by herself, as if she was going to ask someone to cook a dinner with him, but he didn't invite a chef, so he could only come by himself. Katie still couldn't help but feel a pang of confusion in her heart.

Is it difficult to understand that the world of genius is so capricious? Or is making a movie really that easy for him?

"Actually, I'm more curious, Chen, how much money are you going to invest in this movie?" Katie couldn't help but ask the question in her mind.

"A little over twenty million, you know, it's just my first work after all, so I'm not going to invest too much." Chen Xueqian said with a little embarrassment.

However, Katie, who was sitting across from him, had a mouth that couldn't be closed.

It took her a long time to come back to her senses, and she immediately asked, "Then Chen, how are you going to raise this fund?" ”

Hearing this question, Chen Xueqian couldn't help but be stunned, this question was not within the scope of the previous discussion, and he was silent for a while before he said: "Actually, I originally wanted to cooperate with Warner in the hope of sharing the cost, but you know, I didn't find a partner." ”

Katie couldn't help but grow her mouth again, "Do you mean you're going to make this work by yourself?" ”

Chen Xueqian hesitated slightly, but finally nodded and said, "Actually, it's true, I am the sole proprietor of the shooting." ”

Katie wanted to ask at this point, are you crazy?

Fortunately, a little bit of sanity at the last moment allowed her to retract this sentence at the last moment.

However, at this time, her heart was completely confused by Chen Xueqian, and she didn't even know what to ask, so the two ended the interview after a few words without nutrition.

When she left, Chen Xueqian shook hands with her and said sincerely: "I hope Miss Katie can help me promote the new movie more." ”

This piece of Katie suddenly heard the heaviness hidden in Chen Xueqian's words.

How much pressure did the young man in front of him have on his still immature shoulders? At this moment, Katie couldn't help but feel a wave of pity in her heart.

It's just that she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, this is really an out-and-out madman, a genius madman. (To be continued.) )
