Looking at the photo Chen Qing sent him, Zhang Zhong smiled and joked.
"Boss, your reaction is wrong. This is a candid photo." Chen Qing said.
"What else can I do, sue them? At least [Tianlai Novel www.23txt.xyz] has some professional ethics. Except for me and Affleck, no one else's photos have been exposed."
Chen Qing sighed, "That's all I can think of."
There was no way, no one expected that they would be secretly photographed after having a meal with Affleck. In fact, they should be mentally prepared. After all, there are countless reporters in the United States staring at Affleck, and he cannot be blamed for this.
Fleck, he doesn't want to either.
Fortunately, I didn't expose other people's photos, so I think I have some conscience.
In fact, it's okay to be photographed. After all, everyone knows that Affleck is a fan of Zhang Zhong's books, and Zhang Zhong came to New York for a book signing, so it is normal for the two of them to meet.
Most netizens are making fun of it.
[Big stars have special treatment, as you can see above. 】
【...I think the person named pz is more honored.】
[Uh... you go ask Affleck if he agrees with this.]
[Yes, one is the author and the other is a book fan. Who do you think is honored? 】
[It is said that "Ten Little Indian Boys" is about to be released. Will there be other things involved in this meeting, such as letting Affleck star in the Poirot series? 】
[The publicity of "Ten Little Indian Boys" abroad is very poor, after all, it is all Chinese actors.]
[Yeah, it’s a pity. I hope the United States can remake it. 】
[Affleck will star in the Poirot series... it is impossible. After all, Affleck's role will only be the protagonist, and Poirot... you all know it. 】
[Haha, is this a personal attack upstairs? Aren’t I, the great Detective Poirot, handsome? 】
[If Affleck plays Poirot, then he should gain at least fifty...no, eighty pounds first.]
[Not only do you need to gain weight, but you also have to have your legs amputated. How can Poirot be so tall? 】
[Does it have to be acted according to the original work? 】
[Haha, if the performance is not based on the original work, Poirot's tens of millions of fans will make the movie difficult to produce. 】
[When Poirot said it, the first thing that came to my mind was Li De, he was very similar in every aspect.]
[Li De’s image does match the original work, but Li De is a comedian.]
[I recommend Decaf, although I lost a little weight, I can gain weight.]
…
"pz, you must work hard for the Nebula Award and the Hugo Award."
After getting the signature, a female reader clenched her fists to cheer Zhang Zhong, and Zhang Zhong smiled and said thank you.
The policeman next to him was startled, put his hand on his waist, and almost pulled out his gun.
Because too many readers came to participate in the book signing, the police had to send people over to maintain order. Right next to Zhang Zhong, there were two policemen staring at the readers eagerly. Once the readers behaved in any way that exceeded the rules, their spirits would immediately become tense.
Got up.
In wealthy areas of the United States, public security is still very good.
Zhang Zhong was signing sales here, while Xu Yuhan took Pengpeng to go shopping. Out of concern, Zhang Zhong asked the company's staff here to accompany them.
The autograph signing ended at around five o'clock in the evening.
It was also the first time that Zhang Zhong ended his autograph signing so early. It was not because he treated domestic and foreign fans differently, but the place where he signed autographs was very principled and Zhang Zhong had no choice but to get off work at the same time.
He can work overtime, but capitalism cannot exploit labor force.
Leaving the bookstore where the book signing was held, Zhang Zhong went to find Xu Yuhan and the others.
Being in Times Square, known as the crossroads of the world, there is nothing remarkable except for the advertising screens.
Moreover, the status of Times Square in people's hearts is no longer what it used to be. Now some Chinese fans even rent out big screens to celebrate their idols' birthdays. This already illustrates the problem.
It is still prosperous, but it cannot bear the word "square". If those dazzling billboards are removed, it will be just an ordinary street.
Prosperity and crowding are often twin brothers. The flow of people in Times Square is as good as its reputation and is among the best in the world.
When Zhang Zhong found Pengpeng and the others, they were inside the Amazon Bookstore.
"Why are you here at the bookstore?" Zhang Zhong asked. He originally thought that since he was here, he should visit some department stores.
"There's nothing to go shopping, so just go to the bookstore and see how your books are doing here." Xu Yuhan said with a smile.
"Of course it sells well, otherwise how do you think I got number one on the annual sales list? But aren't you afraid of others recognizing me in the bookstore?"
"Narcissism - you can just lift the scarf up, and don't foreigners think that Chinese people all look the same?"
Amazon Bookstore is the world's number one online bookstore, but they have opened a physical store here in Times Square. This bookstore is nothing special. It's just bookshelves. In terms of comprehensiveness, it's not as comprehensive as the big bookstores in China.
"Let's go and have a look at your bookshelf." Xu Yuhan pointed to a large bookshelf in front of her and said.
In fact, you don’t even need to walk over to take a look. Looking from a distance, you can see many people gathered around the bookshelf, which proves Zhang Zhong’s market.
Zhang Zhong turned to look for Pengpeng and saw her on a nearby bookshelf, looking at the books on it carefully, and she still looked good.
"Pengpeng, let's go over there."
Hearing Zhang Zhong call her, Pengpeng pointed to the bookshelf in front of her and said, "Dad, Dad, I know all the words on these books."
Zhang Zhong curled his lips, if you can recognize him, then he is a ghost.
Xu Yuhan walked over with a smile, "Pengpeng is so powerful, what do the words above mean?"
Pengpeng shook his head and said, "I don't know what it means, but I can read it. Teacher Xu, look, this is a (ah), this is e (uh), and this time i (一)."
Zhang Zhong raised his eyebrows, at least Yatou learned Pinyin pretty well.
She pulled Pengpeng and went to the pz bookshelf with Xu Yuhan.
The first one is "Dune", and even the recent new book "Ender's Game" can only give way to the C position, occupying a side position.
This is the power of being at the top of the sales charts.
However, looking at the readers around me, more people have read "Ender's Game". After all, it is a new book, and there are more people who have not read it.
"There is also a special zone here." Xu Yuhan said suddenly next to her.
Zhang Zhong went over to take a look and saw that the sign said "Nebula Award Special Zone", and what was placed under the sign were the four books that were shortlisted for the Nebula Award this time.
There was also a small notebook and a pen tied to it. Zhang Zhong opened the notebook, and there were messages from readers on it.
