After the first issue of "Scholar" ended, it accounted for three hot searches.
The protagonist Shen Jian naturally became the biggest winner. At the same time, "The Story of Xu Sanguan Selling Blood" has also entered the eyes of ordinary people. Many people who have not read books before are also looking for this book.
Who is not a cultural person anymore?
For a time, many people, whether they wanted to show off or really loved literature, went to the bookstore and bought a copy of "Xu Sanguan Sells Blood".
There are many people who bought the book out of curiosity and may not read it later, but the reading atmosphere is still up.
After a show becomes popular, viewers will suggest people they want to participate in the show.
Especially fans of Xiaoxianrou, they like to watch their idols in popular shows.
But this time, the fresh fans have stopped. It seems that they also know that their idols are not suitable for this show, and this show really needs too much hard core strength.
If you don't do porcelain work without a diamond, you're afraid that you'll make a fool of yourself instead of being in the limelight.
What people didn't expect was that among the names of celebrities in the entertainment industry, Zhang Zhong emerged. Because of the popularity of "Xu Sanguan Sells Blood", many people want to see the original author take the stage.
But for the time being, this can only be a wishful thinking, because everyone knows that it is really not easy for Zhang Zhong to participate in variety shows.
…
Wang Kang had just finished writing a gossip press release and felt a little tired, so he was going to go online to see what hot news had happened recently. When he opened the website, he saw at a glance "The Scholar" which is now very popular.
"Do today's audiences watch such high-end variety shows?" Wang Kang was watching the video and scanning the comments below.
"Zhang Zhong... seems to be a writer? I've been seeing him a lot lately. How come he has a stronger presence than some celebrities. Let me search for him."
Out of curiosity, Wang Kang searched for Zhang Zhong. When he saw the photos on the encyclopedia, Wang Kang always felt that Zhang Zhong looked familiar. After thinking for a long time, he patted his head and said, "Isn't this the dragging guy from before? He is actually a Big celebrity!”
Wang Kang's mind suddenly flashed, and he remembered that he had been interviewed at that time, but the video of the interview... He quickly ran to find the photographer who went out with him last time.
…
"Boss, you have dominated the headlines these two days."
When Zhang Zhong and Affleck were standing by Jiaohu Island and looking at the scenery, Chen Qing held up her mobile phone and said with a smile, "If you go to an art exhibition, it will be on the news. Your interview video has also been released, and there are people helping you. I formed a team with several other people, called Mr. Six."
"Mr. Six?" Zhang Zhong asked curiously.
"Yes, Mr. Zhou, an e-sports player, Mr. Liu, a citizen who buys groceries, Mr. Chen, a lucky fan, Mr. Yang, a Chinese audience, Mr. Lin, a candid photographer, and you, Mr. Zhang, a visitor to the exhibition hall." Chen Qing said.
"Oh, I mean, that day when I took Pengpeng and the others to an art exhibition, I met a young reporter. I thought he didn't know me." Zhang Chong said with a smile, "But this time there were so many entertainment news, I The label of commercial writer is also more obvious."
"Boss, you are joking, you just won the Pu Songling Award."
"Yeah, so the Pu Songling Award has also become a business award." Zhang Zhong smiled, turned to look at Affleck, "How about it, are you satisfied with the scenery of this island?"
"Of course I am satisfied. What I thought before was to put the last scene on this island, but now it seems that we can put most of the scenes on this island. The buildings on this island are better than I thought. There are so many, I thought it was a sparsely populated island," Affleck said.
"I have made an appointment with a director for you, who is a friend of mine. You can talk to him about the casting."
"Is it director Wen Jinjiang?" Affleck asked.
"No, it's another younger director. He happens to be coming to Jiangyang tomorrow. I'll arrange for you to meet."
Affleck was a little disappointed when he heard that it was not Wen Jinjiang, but he did not show it and said with a smile, "Thank you, pz."
"You're welcome, it's just a little effort."
"Oh, by the way, I want to use the villa on the island for this filming. I heard that this villa was built by director Wen Jinjiang when he was filming. pz Can you help me ask him if he can borrow the villa?
For me to use?" Affleck said.
Looking at Affleck's sincere smile, Zhang Zhong laughed. He could tell at a glance what this guy was hitting Xiao Jiujiu.
The villa on the island was built by Wen Jinjiang for the filming of "Ten Little Indian Boys", but this villa does not belong to Wen Jinjiang personally. If Affleck wants to use it, please contact Huayi Entertainment through the company, and there should be no problem.
There is no need to ask Wen Jinjiang himself.
This guy still wants Zhang Zhong to introduce Wen Jinjiang to him.
"Okay, I'll help you make an appointment with him later. You can talk to him about this in person."
Affleck laughed and said, "Thank you very much."
…
After returning from Jiaohu Island, Zhang Zhong received another call from Chen Qing.
Zhang Zhong was a little surprised, because he and Chen Qing had just been separated for about ten minutes. Why did Chen Qing call at this time?
"Hello, what's wrong?" Zhang Zhong asked after answering the phone.
"Boss, news just came from the United States that this year's Hugo Awards have been cancelled." Chen Qing's voice revealed some displeasure. Obviously, this news was not good news for them.
This year's Hugo Awards were somewhat unusual.
As usual, the Hugo Awards should officially announce this year's shortlist in April or May.
However, this year's shortlist has not yet been officially announced, and this has been delayed until July.
It doesn't matter if the shortlist is not announced. After all, there have been cases where the shortlist was not announced before.
But what people didn’t expect was that it was stopped directly this year.
"Why stop sending hair?" Zhang Zhong asked.
"The official reason given was that there were not enough manpower this year and the specific work was not done in place. They also issued an apology statement." Chen Qing said.
Hearing this reason, Zhang Zhong almost laughed out loud. He shook his head and said, "Okay, I understand this."
"Boss, I feel that this suspension is entirely against us. I guess they don't want to award the award to you, but they also know that your work last year had such an impact, and it would be difficult to convince the public if they don't award it to you, so they simply stop awarding it.
." Chen Qing said.
"Things shouldn't be that simple, and you also underestimated the face of the jury. I guess something else happened."
"Other things?"
"Well, go check it out. I'll give you an idea. Just check whether there is any abnormality in the number of members of the World Science Fiction Association this year." Zhang Zhong said.
"Boss, what do you mean..."
"I'm not sure either. You won't know until you check it first."
