On July 7, Zhang Zhong took his entire family on the road to Yanjing.
For readers, this summer is the beginning of Zhang Zhong’s world tour, but for Zhang Zhong and his family, it is just a summer vacation.
Someone even took out Zhang Zhong's itinerary and conducted a comprehensive analysis from various aspects such as popularity, culture, distance, climate, etc. They wanted to know how Zhang Zhong's itinerary was decided.
In fact, what they don't know is that the main factor in deciding this itinerary depends on where Zhang Zhong and his family want to go. After considering this, they will consider what netizens have analyzed.
This time, in addition to Zhang Zhong and his family, there were two other people, one was Feng He and the other was Qin Zhao.
As early as when Zhang Zhong's world tour signing schedule was scheduled, it had been announced that this time the signing would not only be attended by Zhang Zhong alone, but also by other writers.
However, the specific writers who will be present have not been announced.
This time, Zhang Zhong brought Feng He and Qin Zhao to the book signing event in Yanjing.
Qin Zhao has been concentrating on preparing for the college entrance examination in the first half of the year.
Although he is smarter than others, it is not easy to skip the exam.
Moreover, his goal is Shizhong College. It is not easy to get admitted to Shizhong College. Even though Nanhuai Province has the largest enrollment quota for Shizhong College in the country, Shizhong College only recruits two students in Nanhuai this year.
Just ten people.
If you want to be admitted to Zhongshi College reliably, you probably need to be at least ranked among the top 200 in the province.
Therefore, Qin Zhao himself did not dare to take it lightly. During this period, all the focus was placed on it.
Fortunately, Huangtian paid off and he finally got his wish and was admitted to Shizhong College.
In fact, this year's admission results haven't come out yet, but having a teacher who is the principal of Shizhong College is somewhat beneficial.
Zhang Zhong went to Liu Huamin specifically to ask about the situation and found out that Qin Zhao had been successfully admitted and was just waiting for notification.
In fact, Zhang Zhong didn't pay much attention to whether Qin Zhao could be admitted to Shizhong College this year. Qin Zhao was still young. If he couldn't pass the exam this year, he could still take the exam next year. If he didn't pass the exam next year, it would be okay.
He has plenty of time and opportunity.
"Besides Qin Zhao and me, who else will be at the scene this time?" Feng He, who was sitting next to Zhang Zhong, asked.
"Because we are in Yanjing, there are many people here, including Zhuang Yu, Wang Yi, and Liu Yuan. They are all old friends, so don't worry." Zhang Zhong looked away from the window and said to Feng He with a smile.
, "When we get here tonight, we will have a meal together first, and then we will introduce some friends you have not met before."
"A friend I haven't met before?" Feng He asked unexpectedly, "Is he also a writer?"
"They are all there. I will know when I see you." Zhang Zhong gave up.
"What you said made me start to get nervous. This is my first time to participate in such a huge autograph session."
Zhang Zhong smiled and shook his head. In fact, he himself, like Feng He, had never participated in such a large signing event.
When the Qiwang Exhibition Hall opened before, Zhang Zhong and the others organized a "star signing event" with many writers on site, and there were also many writers present.
However, this time there were many more writers present at the book signing, and there were also many readers participating. Unlike last time, only the lucky ones who drew prizes could enter.
This time it was more of a book exhibition than a book signing.
There are three empty floors in the Xitu Building. Two of the floors are filled with the works of the writers who attended the conference. Readers present can find their favorite books here, and then go to the corresponding authors to get their autographs.
.
In addition to the book signing, there are also various activities, and the entire event is not just one day. Before Zhang Zhong went to the book signing, the event had already started for two days, and some writers would start to come one after another.
Signing until the last one is Zhang Zhong.
The event starts tomorrow. Zhang Zhong came over today and planned to treat everyone who participated this time to a meal.
After all, it’s not easy to come to support him, especially writers of Zhuang Yu’s level. This time they came to warm up Zhang Chong. If they didn’t really have a good relationship, Zhuang Yu wouldn’t be willing to do this.
Zhuang Yu and the others, except for Yu Dongyu who has more autograph sessions, the others have very few autograph sessions. They are too lazy to hold their own autograph sessions, let alone attend other people's autograph sessions.
It will be a honor to come.
…
After arriving in Yanjing, Zhang Zhong took his family directly to the hotel they had booked. It was already late when they arrived, and it took time to get to the hotel. It was estimated that it would be five o'clock in the evening when they arrived.
Moreover, everyone knows about the traffic in Yanjing. If he is delayed for a while, he, the host, may be late in the evening.
Fortunately, the traffic in Yanjing was decent today. It was only blocked for a while, so it didn't take too long.
When Zhang Zhong arrived, Wang Kewang and Yu Dongyu were sitting on the sofa in the private room drinking tea and chatting. When they saw Zhang Zhong and the others arriving, they stood up and said hello, and then everyone sat down together.
Zhang Chong introduced Wang Kewang to Feng He. The two of them had never met before.
But even though they have never met, they both know each other's names.
Needless to say, Feng He is the second Chinese science fiction writer after Zhang Zhong to win the Nebula Award. Domestic media have previously reported that although Wang Kewang is the author of "Poetry", he doesn't know how many news about Feng He he has read.
.
As for Wang Kewang, Feng He paid attention to it because Zhang Zhong had expressed condolences to Wang Meng before. He knew that Wang Kewang was not a person who knew him well.
"Why did you two come here first? Where are the others?" After sitting down, Zhang Zhong smiled and asked about the others.
Wang Kewang waved his hand and said, "Those guys are comparing their ink marks one by one. Dong Yu and I couldn't stand it, so we came here first."
"Others aside, doesn't Wang Yi live nearby? Didn't you call him by the way when you came?" Zhang Zhong asked. Wang Yi's family lives near the hotel, less than ten minutes' walk. He thought Wang Yi would come first.
"Why didn't you call him? But this guy is lazy. When I called him, he told me that he didn't take a nap at noon and had to make up for it before dinner."
"Catching up on sleep? He won't miss dinner right now."
"Let him sleep." Yu Dongyu looked at his watch, "It's 5:10 now. Give him a call at 5:30. If we can't get through, we'll go directly to his house and get him out of bed.
Pull it out."
Zhang nodded and said, "What a great idea. I'll leave this task to you."
