Ji Zhuo tactically drank water and did not answer the question.

Yun Qingmu glanced at Ji Zhuo, and didn't ask again,

Holding the phone again, it seems that he is still thinking about the plot he just saw, and at the same time looking at some comments in the comment area.

"Dog author, this time you actually wrote about such a hot subject, it's not like you."

"Changed your mind?"

It seemed that after seeing the comments in the comment area, Yun Qingmu also had the same question, and glanced at Ji Zhuo suspiciously.

Ji Zhuo didn't put down the water cup he was holding, and said quietly,

"I just don't like to write the same genre repeatedly, who said I can't write about popular themes, I used to write Xianxia, Cthulhu themes aren't all popular themes?"

Ji Zhuo spoke, and then took another sip of water.

"The Cthulhu theme is only popular after you......"

Yun Qingmu muttered, but he didn't ask again.

It's true that it's a dog, and it's not surprising that the author writes about any subject.

Yun Qingmu didn't take care of Ji Ji anymore, holding his mobile phone and looking at the praise of some readers in the comment area, and the lively discussion,

I like my favorite work and a bunch of other people like it, which makes people happy......

Anyway, Yun Qingmu looked more excited than Ji Zhuo.

……

“…… Ji Zhuo, I feel that this book is better than your last book, nervous and exciting, interesting! Can...... One or two more chapters a day? ”

After eating at this Sichuan restaurant, I made an appointment to see Ji Zhuo online to receive the award online at the "scene".

Yun Qingmu followed Ji Zhuo and returned to Ji Zhuo's residence.

"Next time, definitely."

Listening to Yun Qingmu's excited inquiry, looking at Yun Qingmu's expectant gaze,

Ji Zhuo paused and replied.

“……”

Yun Qingmu fell silent.

Sure enough, it's still a dog author.

……

"Ji Zhuo, you usually create here?"

“…… This is the study, I'm not here to create, I'm not creating anywhere. ”

"Oh......"

"Ji Zhuo, these are the books you published? Well, there's a lot of bookshelves on it. ”

Originally, I was chatting with Yun Qingmu with a match,

Suddenly, Yun Qingmu mentioned his books on the shelf, Ji Zhuoxin suddenly chuckled, and they were all half a beat slower,

Then seeing that Yun Qingmu didn't have any special reaction, he remembered that the previous book of "Seven Sins" was thrown into the bedroom by him, and he didn't have time to put it on the bookshelf.

Ji Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief,

"It's all sent by the publisher."

replied casually, and then moved a stool for Yun Qingmu to enter the study,

The two of them sat down in the study.

After Yun Qingmu sat down, he still turned his gaze curiously,

Apparently interested in the dog author's study,

On the bookshelf in the study, in addition to Ji Zhuo's published books, there are also some awards that Ji Zhuo has won before, as well as some small peripherals of the first season of the anime of "Mortal Cultivation of Immortals".

Ji Zhuo didn't care about Yun Qingmu, he was full, and he wanted to be paralyzed for a while when he sat down at this time, so he leaned back in his chair,

Yun Qingmu turned his gaze and quieted down.

At this time, it was already late at night, and the wind outside the study window was not too hot.

Bursts of breeze, with a hint of comfort.

Although neither of them spoke, and the study was quiet, both of them were quite comfortable.

Yun Qingmu learned from Ji and collapsed in the chair,

My mind calmed down in the silence.

……

But after being paralyzed for a while, I was paralyzed enough,

Ji Zhuo sat up again, Yun Qingmu also sat up, and the two glanced at each other,

"Or ......"

"Or ......"

"Why don't we play a game for a while?"

"Why don't you write for a while."

Listening to Yun Qingmu's eyes lit up, and the words that came out of his mouth.

Ji Zhuo's face darkened, and there was really no spirit and no tacit understanding.

"Ahem...... Let's play a game. ”

Looking at Ji Zhuo's expression, Yun Qingmu was a little embarrassed, and at the same time, there was a slight trace of regret in his eyes,

For a dog author's 'loyal reader', what could be more appropriate for a dog author to code whenever he has time.

"Well, let's play a game, it's still a little bit before the award is presented over there."

Ji Zhuo touched his phone, and Yun Qingmu also touched his phone.

And then the two of them played a game,

Rewarded teammates with a few handfuls and rewarded teammates with dropping stars.

“…… Ji Zhuo, here, here, come here, remnants of blood. ”

“…… I'm coming. ”

"Ji Zhuo, why are you dead too."

"I didn't expect you to die so quickly."

"Ji Zhuo, here, here, another one, we have two against one, we have an advantage."

“…… Otherwise, let's stop playing. ”

"Well, don't play anymore."

Finally, it ends with being reported.

Ji Zhuo and Yun Qingmu both silently put away their mobile phones.

“…… The time should be about the same. ”

Ji Zhuo turned his head, turned on the computer, and waited for the phone connection at the Europa Science Fiction Awards.

Yun Qingmu picked up the phone again and flipped through it silently,

After a while, Yun Qingmu's eyes lit up again,

"Ji Zhuo...... Someone livestreamed the presentation of the Europa Science Fiction Awards. ”

"Huh?"

"To be precise, it's a broadcast, it's not a media, it's just an up master of the broken station who is watching it with Ji Zhuo's readers."

Yun Qingmu said.

Ji Zhuo also took advantage of this moment to touch his mobile phone and look at it.

After opening the broken station, I found the live broadcast,

There seem to be a lot of people watching it, the barrage is rolling fast, and the people who broadcast the live broadcast are still an up master he is very familiar with - 'I am a mortal'.

It's said to be a live broadcast.,It seems to be the real-time screen recording of the foreign live broadcast page.,By the way, there's a small window next to it.,It's the live broadcast screen of the up master.。

In the name of beauty, I will accompany everyone to watch the live broadcast of the Europa Science Fiction Awards ceremony.

Strictly speaking, there are some infringements, but no one cares.

Ji Zhuo glanced at the live broadcast screen, and the award ceremony of the Europa Science Fiction Awards has begun at this time.

What's going on is an award called Europa's Best Short Science Fiction of the Year,

It was quite lively to see under the podium, and there were many famous science fiction writers from Europa and bigwigs in the Europa publishing industry - although Ji Zhuo didn't know any of them.

took a look at the barrage of the audience under the screen broadcast again.

"When will the dog author receive the award, no, why is the award time so underworld, I can't stand it."

"Jet lag, brother, the dog author is receiving a blockbuster award again, and it must be awarded last."

"Can the up master turn off your camera and make the live broadcast window of the awards bigger."

"The up master in the lower right corner, in fact, you don't have to show your face, you are blocking me from watching the dog author receive the award."

Then at the request of the live barrage, this up master really closed his live broadcast frame, so he left his voice and translated two sentences to the audience in the live broadcast room from time to time.

"Now the winner is the Europa Science Fiction Award for Best Short Story, which is also a blockbuster award, and the winner is also a famous Europa science fiction artist...... You may not have heard of his name, but you have probably heard of his sci-fi short stories......"

“…… It's coming, it's coming, it's coming up to tonight's biggest award, the award for the best feature-length sci-fi! ”

"The host is already warming up, and I'm about to connect with the dog author!"

"The host said that this year there will be another excellent and even great science fiction work, and he is bound to sweep the whole of Europa, to the whole of Europa, to the whole world, science fiction frenzy......"

"This host is much more fanatical than I thought, and the audience seems to be very lively...... It seems that the English version of "Caged Bird" has become more influential overseas than we expected. ”

The English version of the caged bird has undergone continuous fermentation by word of mouth, as well as the operation and promotion of the publishing house.

It has been published for almost a month, and sales have exceeded half a million.

The most important thing is that even now, the single-day sales of the English version of "Caged Bird" still have no downward trend.

His readership is still gradually spreading, and word-of-mouth is still fermenting among readers.

In other words, the sales of the English version of "Caged Bird" are far from reaching market saturation.

It's just that there is a lack of an opportunity for the sales of the English version of "Caged Bird" to completely explode, selling those super bestsellers in a single day and a single week.

And now, the opportunity has come.

With "Caged Bird" winning a blockbuster award at the Europa Science Fiction Awards, Delvin Publishing is bound to increase publicity and detonate the word-of-mouth accumulation that has been accumulated for so long.

And although the current sales of 500,000 caged birds certainly cannot be said to cover much readership.

But now the awards show is filled with people from the publishing industry and science fiction writers...... Most of these people have read this science fiction book that came out of nowhere.

Therefore, when the host said the name of "Caged Bird" at this time, it was so lively at the bottom.

“…… Alright, alright, it's time to connect, and it's going to be connected to the dog author soon! ”

During the live video, the host of the award ceremony began to connect with Ji Zhuo,

And almost immediately after, Ji Zhuo received a request for connection.

Moving the mouse, Ji Zhuo chose to answer.

On the other side of the video connection, Ji Zhuo had already seen the scene of the award ceremony and the host on the award podium.

However, there is a delay of a few seconds on the live video...... But immediately after, the audience in the live broadcast room also saw Ji Zhuo's figure.

“cool！”

"Our award-winning writer this year, Mr. Bugong is still a handsome gentleman, I believe that countless viewers who are watching the live broadcast and other female writers in the audience will fall in love with you at this moment!"

At the award ceremony, the host exaggeratedly said,

The science fiction writers at the award ceremony also cooperated with the coaxing,

But forget it when you hear the shouts of some female writers, why did Ji Zhuo vaguely hear a male writer shouting at the scene......

"Thank you."

Ji Zhuo nodded politely.

beside

Yun Qingmu looked at Ji Zhuo on the spot,

While holding his mobile phone and watching the live broadcast, his eyes lit up.

In the live broadcast room broadcast at this time, with Ji Zhuo's figure appearing on the big screen at the award ceremony,

The barrage also blew up.

I said...... Although the dog is a dog, it still looks like a dog. ”

“…… I can, I can! ”

“…… I don't know if he's handsome or not, but I feel that the dog author is dressed quite casually, and I even suspect that he is wearing slippers on his feet at this time. ”

"You know a, it's called informality."

"Alright, shut up! Let me take a good look at the face of the dog author...... It's not interesting, it's just that if I meet one day, I can't ...... Go up and urge more. ”

Yun Qingmu looked at Ji Zhuo in the live broadcast screen, then raised his head to look at Ji Zhuo, and looked back and forth repeatedly.

Ji Zhuo also kept in touch with the award ceremony.

After the host praised him a few more words,

handed over the podium to the award presenters,

A big man in the publishing industry.

The big guy held the microphone and read the award speech,

"When I read this work, I felt that the story depicted in the work is wonderful, and the author shows us a magical science fiction world from a unique perspective, so that every reader can hardly extricate themselves and immerse themselves in it."

At the same time, it also brings a new idea and possibility to science fiction writing. Throughout the story, the observer civilization and the unknown civilization that will cause devastating damage to human civilization never appear, but we know that ......"

After a long award speech, the awarding boss paused again,

There was a hint of regret on his face,

“…… However, unfortunately, due to some reasons, the 'non-worker' could not come to the site to receive the award. I also missed a communication with the author I liked, and I hope to have the opportunity to communicate with you in person next time, and I believe that the person who can write these excellent works must be very interesting authors. ”

The award ceremony boss turned around and greeted Ji Zhuo who was connected by video, and stepped down.

Ji Zhuo thanked him, and then the host came to the stage again.

Naturally, according to the convention, it is customary to let Ji Zhuo give an acceptance speech.

Ji Zhuo also said something unnutritious according to the usual practice,

As usual, three thanks, thanks to the publisher for the publication and editor's appreciation, and thanks to the readers for their support,

Then there is gratitude for your efforts.

Hearing the first two, the bottom group of authors was nothing, and when they heard the last one, they cheered again.

Then there's the host's short interview with him, the winner of the best feature-length sci-fi series, which has already been mentioned in advance.

“…… Mr. Bugong, thank you for bringing us such an excellent science fiction work. Do you have any other works that will be published in the near future for us to read for those of you who are waiting for you? ”

In the near future, other language editions of Caged Bird will be published in different countries, such as German and Russian. It could be tomorrow, it could be the day after tomorrow. ”

This answer is a request from the publisher to take the opportunity to promote the Caged Bird in other languages.

"Oh, that's a really beautiful thing for science fiction readers in many countries, so will there be other new works released in the near future?"

Listening to the host's questioning, Ji Zhuo couldn't help but be stunned.

I didn't mention this before...... Is this for me to promote other books?

Ji Zhuo looked at the expectation in the host's eyes, and always felt that this expression was a little familiar...... This can't be what the host himself wants to see, right?

“…… Recently, I serialized a new book on the Chinese Internet site Feimo, called "The Hour Hand Leaps to Death".

Since you are chasing yourself here to make yourself advertise, it is not appropriate for you not to advertise.

However, Ji Zhuo was wondering if Fei Mo should give himself money, and this wave of advertisements was successful.

"Thank you, Mr. Bugong, I think this one must be equally good, and I will read it too."

I got the name of a new book from Ji Zhuo, and the host was satisfied.

The rest of the interview was much more normal.

Ji Zhuo replied a few words,

That's the end of the video connection.

As soon as the video connection ended, Ji Zhuo turned off the computer, and the study was quiet again.

When I looked back, I saw Yun Qingmu still holding his mobile phone and looking at it excitedly.

Ji Zhuo also touched his mobile phone and looked at it,

saw that the barrage in the live broadcast room was still rolling down crazily.

"What, the dog author has opened a new book?"

", you guys go on watching the live broadcast, I'm going to read the new book of the dog author!"

Obviously, many readers just got the news of Ji Zhuo's new book,

Although they will know sooner or later, this is a time to spread the news of the new book release more in advance.

So, after reading Ji Zhuo's award, the readers quickly slipped away,

The audience in the live broadcast room fell down in an uproar,

Then immediately after, the live broadcast room shows that the live broadcast is over,

The up of the live broadcast also slipped away.

“？？？ It slipped away too fast, and I left, went. ”

"Gone, gone, gone."

"I came after reading it...... Is the live stream over? ”

The live broadcast is over,

Yun Qingmu, who was watching the live broadcast of the awards, also raised his head and looked at Ji Zhuo, his eyes were full of brilliance.

"Ji Zhuo, I suddenly think you are exceptionally handsome!"

“？？？”

Ji Zhuo put a question mark,

I wasn't handsome before, heh, woman.

Ji Zhuo glanced at Yun with admiration.

"It's just that today is extra handsome."

"The new book was released again, and then the old book won the award and received the award."

Yun Qingmu said again.
