Chapter 148: Press Conference [Subscription Requested]
Before coming, Zhao Qiong said that Huayi Brothers had prepared a huge conference room for this press conference, and according to Chen Ping's understanding, the giant conference room that this building can accommodate is at most one or two hundred square meters, but when he walked into the conference room in person, he couldn't help but be shocked.
Generous!
Absolute generosity!
The place where Huayi Brothers' company is located is the center of the capital, and the low price of this place is very expensive Chen Ping doesn't know, but according to his estimates, even if he earns a year, it may be difficult to buy two or three square meters of commercial shop area. What about Huayi Company? An entire floor was used as a conference room.
No, to be precise, this is not a conference room anymore, but more like a studio hall.
There is a stage, rows and rows of audience seats, and even a variety of gorgeous lighting props and luxurious sound equipment. A row of tables and chairs has been set up on the stage, with several name tags on them, obviously for the people attending the press conference, but there is no Zhao Qiong on it.
Seeing Chen Ping's doubts, Zhao Qiong explained softly: "Only a few high-level executives in our company know my identity, and other employees don't know my identity, so I can't participate, I can only act as an ordinary staff." But don't worry, this time, my brother will be at the press conference in person. ”
Listening to Zhao Qiong's explanation, Chen Ping glanced at the name tag on the table again, and really found a person surnamed Zhao, Zhao Jiadong.
At this time, many people had already appeared at the scene, long guns and short cannons were erected in front of the stage, and dozens of reporters did not sit down according to the seats arranged by Huayi Company. In front of the stage, they automatically formed a semicircle and whispered something.
Ten o'clock. Under the leadership of the staff, Chen Ping walked onto the stage. That is, the seat arranged by Huayi. There were a few other people who went up with Chen Ping, except for a young man who was the same age as Zhao Qiong and looked a little similar, the other three were all middle-aged people.
When the reporter saw the protagonist appear, he picked up the camera in his hand and began to take pictures, after a dazzling white light flashed, Chen Ping's mood also became a little nervous, this is the first time he has faced so many lenses, how can he not be nervous.
There were a total of five people seated on the stage. Chen Ping and Zhao Jiadong sat in the middle, a middle-aged man sat next to them, and a man stood in the outer corner of the stage, holding a microphone in his hand, obviously this is the host.
The host got Zhao Jiadong nodding in acquiescence, and then cleared his throat and began to speak.
"First of all, I would like to welcome all media friends to make the company flourish. The main purpose of inviting all of you here today is to announce one thing to your friends. The host paused. With a programmed smile on the corner of his mouth, he continued: "Some time ago, all major domestic media reported a piece of news. A novel called "The Days of Living with a Flight Attendant" has detonated the attention of the Chinese people, and the popularity of this novel is really unimaginable. Whether it is students, staff, or even middle-aged people, parents and mothers are full of praise for this novel. ”
"I was lucky enough to get a copy of the book when the second edition went on sale, and it's no exaggeration. I robbed it. It took half a day to read the whole book, and this book doesn't have too many bizarre and exciting plots. There are no blood-boiling passages, and the whole book exudes a faint warmth and innocent emotion. "When the host introduced "Empty Same". The face knocked on the good showed a kind of reluctant memories and yearning.
"Don't be long-winded, today's press conference has a close relationship with "The Days of Living with a Flight Attendant". A few days ago, we Huayi Brothers Media Group contacted the author of "Kongtong", mortal, and finally reached a cooperation intention on the film and television adaptation of "Kongtong" after the sincerity and efforts of both parties. ”
The reporters who came to the host basically knew about the news in advance, which is why Weishenme will rush over so many media today, and even several domestic portals have sent people to squat.
"Before the signing ceremony, allow me to briefly introduce the author mortal." The host smiled, and after glancing at the reporters at the scene, his voice unconsciously raised a pitch.
"Mortal is the author's pen name, and the author's real name is Chen Ping. is a very ordinary name, and the artistic conception of his pen name is also very similar. However, this universal pseudonym possesses unimaginable creative powers. In June 2004, Chen Ping appeared on a novel website under the pseudonym of a mortal, and became popular all over the Internet with a copy of "Immortal Rebellion", as of now, "Immortal Rebellion" has nearly 30 million Internet hits, 8 million recommended votes, and the reader's collection has created the peak of online novels, reaching 290,000. I believe that all of you present also have friends who read online novels, as we all know, the current online novels take the VIP charging model, and the highest number of purchases of a single chapter of "Immortal Rebellion" has now exceeded 26,000 people, not only breaking the previous record, but also creating a record high. ”
"What I just said is only the online sales of "Immortal Rebellion", and I will introduce to you the physical publication and sales of this book. "Immortal Rebellion" has been published in traditional Chinese on Treasure Island for five consecutive months, and has successfully sold 500,000 copies so far, and the sales situation is gratifying. The simplified Chinese version is also sold in major bookstores in China, and the sales record is also gratifying. The host seems to have been immersed in the glory of "Immortal Rebellion", paused for a while, and released an explosive news in a timely manner while the reporter was emotional.
"At present, we have received news that "Immortal Rebellion" is about to become the first work to be adapted into a game from an online novel."
"What? Adaptation of a novel into a game? How can it be? ”
"Really? Which game company is it? ”
"What's impossible? Isn't Blizzard's "Warcraft Shijie" based on the epic? Damn, doesn't this mean that "Immortal Rebellion" can be compared to the epic? ”
Reporters began to discuss, and for a while, "Immortal Rebellion" seemed to have successfully seized the theme of this press conference.
For the reaction of the field. The host was very satisfied and surprised. The more surprised you are, the more well-known the mortals become. In this way, the more favorable it will be to the hype of "Empty Same".
After two or three minutes of discussion, the host stopped the following discussion and continued: "Okay, friends, I was just as surprised as you when I heard the news, but since I searched for mortal information on the Internet privately, I am no longer surprised. Because. Each work of mortals can bring different enjoyment to people, constantly refreshing existing records and creating new records. Now I would like to invite Mr. Zhao Jiadong, general manager of Huayi Brothers Media Group, to deliver a speech for this film and television adaptation signing meeting. ”
The staff connected the microphone in front of Zhao Jiadong, Zhao Jiadong smiled implicitly, the gold-wire glasses on the bridge of his nose set off his gentleness and elegance, and his voice was also magnetic.
"Thank you for coming, and thank you for your support to Huayi for so many years. Today is destined to be an extraordinary day, because mortals are coming. ”
"Before I came into contact with mortals, I had also heard of the book "Empty Same". But I didn't expect "Kongtong" to be so popular, which surprised me, a person who has been in the entertainment industry for many years, and at the same time, it also made me give birth to an adaptation of "Kongtong". The idea of bringing the story of the text to the screen. It was only after coming into contact with mortals that I was blown away by his brilliance, and it is no exaggeration to say that. He's the youngest and most eclectic writer I've ever met. The popularity of "Empty Same" has verified what I just said. At the same time, it also provides us with the opportunity to cooperate. Not to mention, once again I wish us a successful cooperation. It can bring the audience a warm story. Saying that, Zhao Jiadong also looked at Chen Ping specifically, as if the two had really become confidants after meeting once.
In this regard, Chen Ping also showed a humble smile. But he couldn't help but scold secretly in his heart, your sister is not a person from a media company, Du Nima is a natural actor. The host's exaggerated expression induced the reporter to follow him into the hall of honor of "Immortal Rebellion", and Zhao Jiadong also lied without blushing, your sister, is it the first time for me to see you today? Don't make me look familiar.
After Zhao Jiadong finished speaking, a staff member took the haode contract in time, and in front of many cameras, the two signed their names, and then swapped, zuihou shook hands and smiled at the camera.
"I know that most of my media friends have a curious heart and a heart to explore what they really want. Therefore, we have specially prepared half an hour for you, so that you can have an opportunity to communicate with mortals, now, if you want to know anything, you can ask it, friendly reminder, do not involve personal privacy! After all, the author is not a person in our entertainment industry, and people will be embarrassed! ”
"Haha!"
……
After a burst of good-natured laughter, a reporter took the lead in asking questions.
"Mortal, do I call you a great god, or do I call you an idol? I'm a big fan of yours, whether it's "Immortal Rebellion", "The Best Family", or now "The Law of the Devil", I have watched it. A young male reporter looked at Chen Ping excitedly, as early as when Chen Ping walked on the stage, he found out that as a loyal reader of mortals, as a reporter, he has a hobby of pursuing all kinds of information about mortals, and of course he knows that mortals have limited photos on the Internet.
Chen Ping kept smiling at the corners of his mouth, and said in his heart: Nima's, childcare has become popular this year?
"First of all, thank you for your support, mortals can achieve such results completely inseparable from the support of book friends, without you, there would be no mortals today, you can call me by my name, Chen Ping!"
"Mr. Chen, how did you come up with the novel "Empty Harmony"? People say that novels come from reality, and in reality, have you ever lived with a flight attendant? ”
"Mr. Chen, I heard that you did live with a flight attendant named Zhang Jing before creating "Empty Tong", is it true?"
"Mr. Chen, is "Kongtong" just a record of the bits and pieces of your life with the flight attendant? What is your relationship with a flight attendant? ”
……
A series of questions made Chen Ping's tone a little ugly, your sister, didn't you say that you don't ask about personal privacy? Also, who revealed the matter of living with Zhang Jing?
Chen Ping's face was gloomy, knowing that the reporter's questions were gradually decreasing, he glanced at the reporter coldly, and then said in a deep voice: "This is a private issue, no comment." ”
Thinking of the words that those stars said the most in front of the camera in his previous life, Chen Ping sometimes really wanted to say to those stars not to pretend to be forced and pretended to be struck by lightning. But at this time, he has some sympathy for those stars.
Without getting the answer we wanted, the nature of the journalist was revealed again, one way doesn't work, let's go another way.
"Mr. Chen, can you tell us about the original intention of the creation of the book "Empty Harmony"?"
This question is okay, Chen Ping thought about it for a while and decided to tell the truth.
"I didn't have any original intentions. One night after dinner, my girlfriend said to me, look at so-and-so, someone who writes a novel can be adapted into a TV series, why don't you try to write it. Because of my girlfriend's words, there is today's "Empty Same". ”
"Girlfriend? Mr. Chen, is the girlfriend you are talking about the same flight attendant who lives with you? ”
Chen Ping was depressed, your sister, are all reporters like this? Grab a word and make up countless topics, even unfounded news?
"Don't care, answer if you can, and say no comment if you can't. Be a little patient with your visibility. Zhao Jiadong lowered his head slightly and said in a low voice.
Hearing Zhao Jiadong's words, Chen Ping realized that all this seemed to be for hype. Well, since it's hype, then brother will cooperate with you.
"I did share a room with a flight attendant for a while, and that was because the house I used to rent was demolished, and I shared a room with a flight attendant after being introduced by a friend, but the incident was very short. I moved out after my girlfriend returned to S City. Also, my girlfriend is a quiet girl who doesn't like to be noisy, so I hope you don't dwell on this issue anymore. ”
"Mr. Chen, this time I signed a contract with Huayi, how much bargaining chips did Huayi pay to buy the film and television adaptation rights?"
Chen Ping didn't know how to answer this question, so he could only look at Zhao Jiadong, Zhao Jiadong looked up at the camera at the right time, still smiled professionally, and said: "Mr. Chen is very visionary, and he is also a person with great courage." This time for the cooperation with Huayi, Mr. Chen did not receive a penny of payment. We signed a sharing contract, which means that the higher the benefits of Kongtong, the higher Mr. Chen's personal income. ”
"Mr. Chen, how well do you write your story, have you ever considered changing careers to become a screenwriter?"
"I haven't thought about it for the time being, because there are still tens of thousands of readers waiting for me online."
"Mr. Chen,......" (To be continued......
