Chapter 4: Strange Birth
"Got a reservation?"
When he heard Sister Zhang tell him that the hotel had been booked, Li Zhengyang couldn't hide the surprise on his face. Seriously, he was even ready to change his mind, because at this time, all the hotels that were about the same were either full or there were only a few small seats left, and there were no more than sixty or seventy people to arrange.
"I got it, and I was lucky." Sister Zhang also smiled heartily and patted Li Zhengyang's chest:
"What's the matter, isn't your sister Zhang famous?"
"Who says you're a wasted name? If you sue me now, I'll go fight with him immediately! ”
Li Zhengyang is in a good mood, because he knows that Sister Zhang often goes in and out of high-end clubs and large hotels, so he is absolutely confident that Sister Zhang can find a place.
The predecessor of the Zhengyang fan group was actually a book fan group, which was established by a man named Wang Guang when Li Zhengyang published his first book. Then with the publication of Li Zhengyang's second book and the current book "Xenogeneous Curse", there are more and more people in the group.
However, the more than 60 of them are not new to joining, but they are all fans of the first two books, and they have been silently supporting Li Zhengyang before he became famous. At present, Li Zhengyang is becoming popular with this book "Xenophobia Curse", and they also have a feeling of looking at people in their hearts. So after discussing it in the group, they decided to come over and participate in this signing meeting.
"It's so hard for you."
Because there were too many of them, Sister Zhang did not look for a car to pick them up, but found three large buses and pulled these book lovers directly to the hotel.
On the way to the hotel, Li Zhengyang also chatted casually with the book fans who were in the same car with him, so he heard this story that moved him a little.
"It's hard work, it's just that I just like to read your novels." The fan didn't think it was anything.
"Well, our book-chasing people are actually no different from star-chasing. The star chaser is because a certain point of the star touched him, and we are book-chasers. It's a sentence, a character, or a plot in your book that touches us. A female book fan with glasses said.
Li Zhengyang smiled and didn't say anything, and at this time, another female book fan asked:
"I've read all three of your books, but compared to the first two, the style of this "Xenopathic Curse" has obviously changed a lot, is this a deliberate change by you, or is it an unintentional move?"
This question was a little difficult for Li Zhengyang to answer, because it was similar to the question asked by a reporter at the time. However, thinking that these were the readers who had always supported him during his difficult times, he thought about it and chose to answer:
"Actually, I don't have an outline for writing a book, and if I do, it's just a beginning. It's not like the average author, who either has a beginning and an end, or has a complete outline.
First of all, I have this ability to harness, and in addition. And most importantly, I've always been committed to letting the characters in the story be generated, or the plot can be developed. It's not about letting the plot come into being, or to promote the development of the story's characters.
So for the book. Everyone's fate is not up to me, except for the protagonist.
Sometimes I obviously want this character to live, but in the end, I can only sadly watch him disappear into my pen fairy. Sometimes I wanted the character to die. But this character often miraculously survives.
So when people often ask me what will be the final fate of this character who is loved by him, I am particularly speechless.
Because in the eyes of the reader. They are just words in the novel, and their authors are in control of their fate. But in the eyes of me, the author, they are a group of people who live in the world of fiction, and although I can create them, I can't decide their fate. ”
The book fans in the car looked at Li Zhengyang in amazement after hearing this, obviously not knowing that Li Zhengyang still had these habits that they didn't know when he was creating.
On the other hand, after listening to Li Zhengyang's words just now, Sister Zhang secretly laughed in his heart that Li Zhengyang's Tai Chi skills were good, and people were obviously asking about the change in the style of his new book, but he turned the topic to the creation of novels. But this can be regarded as an answer for these people.
Because not to mention them book fans, even she, the agent who has been with her, doesn't know the details of the creation of his book. just listened to Li Zhengyang casually say that it was related to a nightmare he had, and Li Zhengyang refused to say it no matter how much he had.
As an agent, a Bole who discovered Li Zhengyang, Sister Zhang doesn't care how the novel is created, its creativity, and who the characters in the story are based on. What she cares about is always how much benefit this book has created for them and how much power it has injected into Li Zhengyang's fame.
And maybe ...... Li Zhengyang is a person.
The way to the hotel was very lively, and the book fans were still jealous and nervous at first, but after seeing that Li Zhengyang was very gentle, they began to ask all kinds of questions and gossip.
Li Zhengyang adhered to Sister Zhang's previous explanation, so he said what he should say, and laughed at what he shouldn't say, and he didn't answer anything about his private life. Most of the answers are about the creation of the novel, and the correction of some things that are considered bugs by fans in the book.
Time always passes quickly in small talk, and the bus has come to a slow stop before the book lovers have had enough to ask.
Li Zhengyang got up from his seat at this time, and then glanced out of the car window. At this glance, he saw nothing else, only a building that almost reached into the sky.
"Not to mention, it looks pretty good."
Sister Zhang only glanced at the hotel building and knew that the internal environment was definitely not bad, but she would not lose face to Li Zhengyang. She was also a little worried before, after all, she had never been to this hotel, let alone heard of it.
At this time, the two buses behind also drove here one after another, and the book fans got off the buses one after another, and came behind Li Zhengyang in a blink of an eye.
"This is it, let's go inside."
Li Zhengyang led the book lovers into the lobby of the hotel, if this hall is simply to describe, it is a word "splendid", and the decoration is not luxurious.
When the book fans behind him saw this battle, they couldn't help but secretly smack their tongues, how much does it cost to eat a meal here.
Whether the money is spent more or less is nothing to Li Zhengyang now, after all, if you are famous, you are not afraid of not having money, and fame and fortune complement each other.
Sister Zhang was at the service desk and in the lobby on this floor, and the only staff member was negotiating. After a while, Sister Zhang followed another waitress who came out of nowhere, and walked over with a smile:
"Our dining place is on the top floor, let's go up now."
The waiter with straight shoulders walked in front, and dozens of people followed behind as if they were fighting. Sister Zhang tugged at Li Zhengyang's suit with a small movement, and then said like a ghost:
"It's a really good place, I'll come here next time I have a party."
Seeing Sister Zhang's appearance, Li Zhengyang couldn't help but look weird:
"Why?"
"Cheap, really cheap......!"
However, just when Sister Zhang kept praising Li Zhengyang about this hotel, she saw the staff member at the service desk, his originally dull face suddenly became hideous, and then the back of his head cracked like a watermelon falling to the ground, and then a long blood-stained tongue stretched out from it......
Standing outside, the building that reaches into the sky has also become blurred. (To be continued......)
