After answering a lot of questions, for fear of delaying the enthusiasm of book fans to sign autographs, the host decisively interrupted the reporter's question after half an hour.

Announce the start of signing.

The start time is half past one, and the end time is half past four, a total of three hours for signing.

There must be no way to meet the signature requirements of nearly 10,000 people inside and outside the store. However, Zhang Tan thought that if he could sign one more copy, he buried himself in signing and tried to make himself as fast as possible.

The word "Tan Zhang", written in cursive, is actually very simple.

In the past two years, Zhang Tan has been accustomed to using computer codewords, rarely touching the pen to write, and his wrist is a little unbearable. Write for half an hour, you need to take a break and relax. During the break, he will do some interactive communication with book lovers.

Answer some weird questions for book lovers.

For example, a girl book lover asked with a look of hope: "Detective, what fruit do you like to eat?" ”

Zhang Tan thought for a moment: "Orange." ”

The girl immediately cheered: "yes, great, I like to eat oranges too." ”

What could Zhang Tan say, so he had to laugh dryly: "What a coincidence." ”

There is also a boy book lover, who asked: "Detective, I know you like to play football, when do you think the Chinese team will win the World Cup?" ”

"I think it's a long way to go." Zhang Tan said undeniably.

The current Chinese football is very different from the Chinese football of the previous life, and since the defeat in the Asian Cup in 2004, it has become a street rat that everyone shouts at. Zhang Tan didn't even see the hope of Chinese football in his previous life rushing into the World Cup for the second time, let alone in this life, let alone winning the championship.

In addition, there is a reader. Zhang Tan was speechless: "Tan Dada, what size shoes are you wearing?" ”

Is this question a must be asked?

"Uh, 43 yards."

……

The book signing meeting was scheduled to end at half past four, but because there were too many fans, the enthusiasm did not subside, and it was delayed until six o'clock. It was over. In this way, there are still many people who have not obtained Zhang Tan's signature, but Zhang Tan's wrist is about to break, and he really can't continue to sign.

Many book lovers are disappointed.

It was a huge book signing.

The next day, the media reported on the grand occasion of the book signing party, especially Zhang Tan's answer to reporters' questions, and got a lot of first-hand information about Zhang Tan, which satisfied the public's curiosity.

The media said it was the largest book signing event ever held in China, and Zhang Tan was the most successful writer in Asia and the East. Because Zhang Tan has changed to a director. Some media outlets have slogans that Zhang Tan is the Stephen King of the East, and that he and Stephen King are the two best-selling masters of the East and the West.

In the past, the media used Zhang Tan and J. J., who wrote "Harry Potter", to write "Harry Potter". K. Rowling, J. Rowling, who wrote "The Lord of the Rings"; R· R. Tolkien is now Stephen King.

The reason is that Stephen King is a master of American horror novels, who has written a large number of horror and thriller novels, and most of the novels have been adapted into movies, and he has written horror novels to the peak. And Zhang Tan is a master of Chinese martial arts novels. has written a large number of martial arts novels, and has also begun to adapt film and television dramas. wrote martial arts novels to the peak.

Both of them also started to develop in the direction of film and television from writers, and both became directors.

Of course, Zhang Tan's current reputation cannot be compared with Stephen King, who is a world-renowned horror master. He also wrote the novel "The Shawshank Redemption". After being adapted into a movie, it has become a famous classic in film history, and it has held the first user rating on the American movie website IMDb, which is higher than the classic "The Godfather".

Zhang Tan needs to work hard to reach Stephen King's status.

He was still young. There are more opportunities to surpass others.

……

After finishing the book signing meeting, Zhang Tan still has one task left.

is to find a suitable actor to play the black skin.

The actors recommended by Huayi Brothers, after Zhang Tan auditioned, they were all dissatisfied. Seeing that the time has entered the middle of April, the black-skinned actors have not yet been found, Zhang Tan is unwilling to wait any longer, and is ready to start the film first, put the black-skinned scenes in the post-production, and find them while filming.

Monday, April 11.

Chongqing City, Yuzhong District, in front of Luohan Temple.

"Crazy Stone" held a grand opening ceremony. Originally, with the investment scale of 5 million in stone, it could only be regarded as a small-budget movie, and it was OK to burn a few incense sticks hastily, and there was no need to engage in any start-up ceremony.

It's just that the director of the film is called Zhang Tan, and the actors and cameos of the movie are super luxurious, and the attention in China can be said to be no worse than that of those blockbusters.

Huayi Brothers attaches great importance to the film and has a very strong publicity, coupled with the Chongqing Municipal Government's strong support for the filming of the film in Chongqing, which led to today's opening ceremony.

Nine o'clock in the morning.

The deputy mayor of Chongqing, the deputy director of the Propaganda Department, the director and deputy director of the Tourism Bureau, the secretary of Yuzhong District, the district mayor and other leaders attended the start-up ceremony. The two bosses of Huayi Brothers, Coach Wang and Wang Zhujiang, and Han Siping, the boss of China Film Group, also attended the start-up ceremony.

When making movies in China, one person must be inseparable, and China Film is the leader Han Siping. Although China Film did not participate in the investment, Han Siping will be named as a producer in the movie, which is equivalent to escorting the movie.

Originally, Zhang Hongsen, director of the Film Bureau, also planned to attend, but there was something temporary, but he didn't come.

In this way, the deputy mayor, the district secretary, Han Siping, Coach Wang, and Zhang Tan, the director, respectively took the stage to deliver a speech in a subdued manner. Then they uncovered the red cover cloth on the camera and completed the start-up ceremony.

Zhang Tan began to direct the crew and shoot the first shot in the click-click photos of media reporters.

According to his original meaning, he didn't want to pretend to be filming under the watchful eyes of so many reporters, and being watched by reporters so strongly, the crew could have a fart state. But the film ultimately has to face the market and needs a lot of publicity, so it can only tolerate such a show.

I spent the morning in this noise.

When the morning shooting was over, the camera was turned off.

The reporters immediately swarmed around Zhang Tan, and the long guns and short guns almost didn't stick into Zhang Tan's face: "Director Tan, can you tell us how you feel about being a film director for the first time?" ”

Zhang Tan carefully avoided the microphone that greeted him, and answered the question: "My feelings, it's that the progress is a little slow, the actors haven't played out yet, and the crew's run-in is relatively rusty." ”

"Director Tan, what I'm asking is your mood as a director, not what is wrong with the crew." The reporter quickly added questions.

Zhang Tan deliberately answered like this just now, because you can't answer what others ask, just answer honestly, which seems too impersonal.

Whether you answer excitedly or not, you look like a novice, without the posture of an old bird.

Only rookies are asked how they feel for the first time.

Therefore, Zhang Tan continued to say with a bad taste: "Our preparation time is a little hasty, if it can be more sufficient, I think my mood will be better." I originally wanted to release it in the summer, but now we may not be able to finish filming before the summer vacation, and the release date will have to be postponed. (To be continued.) )
