"I personally feel very honored that the Pigeon Prize can award the foreign novel award to me this time. The Pigeon Prize is a great award. Many outstanding writers have won this award. I can be ranked with these outstanding writers.
, this is undoubtedly an affirmation for me." Zhang Zhong said very officially.
"You won the Pigeon Award not long after you won the Pu Songling Award. There was not much time in between. Can you tell me what you think of the two awards? In your mind, which of the two awards do you care more about?
a little?"
Zhang Zhong glanced at the reporter who asked the question, a young woman with short hair.
This is going to cause trouble.
However, Zhang Zhong could still handle this kind of problem. He smiled and said, "The only thing I care about is one prize."
"Can you please tell me which award it is?" the reporter asked excitedly. They seemed to have seen the big news waving to them.
"The next award." Zhang Zhong shivered.
The reporters were immediately disappointed, but they still did not give up and asked, "What are your experiences of traveling abroad this time? Did the foreign customs and customs inspire your creation?"
"What you said makes me feel like I'm going abroad for the first time."
"Don't get me wrong, that's not what I meant."
"Just kidding, this question can be answered for you. Let me borrow a sentence I heard two days ago: The best way to discover wealth is to leave and then come back."
"You mean that this trip abroad has made you deeply realize that domestic is the best?"
"Yes, because I have such enthusiastic friends like you." After going out to play, Zhang Zhong became more relaxed and joked a few words with the reporters, "Of course, if you can ask less gossip questions,
I am also willing to chat with you for a while. I know what you are concerned about, but there are some things that I won’t ask if you ask me, so there is no need for you to ask again, so as not to embarrass each other. Of course, "The Three-Body Problem" cannot be
It was written just this time, so I must have made sufficient preparations before. In addition, our company and the Jiangyang government are about to cooperate to build a large-scale aerospace-themed science fiction museum in Jiangyang. If you are interested, please come back.
I will ask the person in charge of the company to hold a press conference and invite you all to come and learn more about it."
Perhaps influenced by Zhang Zhong's relaxed attitude, the atmosphere of the interview suddenly became harmonious. He led the topic to his works and the museum, and the reporters also asked relevant questions in a tactful manner.
After about ten minutes, a pleasant impromptu interview ended.
Zhang Zhong looked at the time and said with a smile, "Okay, I just got off the plane, my family is waiting for me, and I am also very tired from the long flight. Let's talk when we have time next time."
Most reporters nodded.
Zhang Zhong raised his feet and left, turning back and saying with a smile, "Then I'll leave first. If you stay here for a while, don't follow me. Don't cause trouble to the airport staff. It's not easy for everyone. Please be considerate."
The ground staff who had been standing beside him all looked at Zhang Zhong with gratitude. Every time something like this happened at the airport, these staff were the most distressed, for fear of accidentally causing a disturbance.
However, today's scene was well controlled and the whole process was very orderly. Zhang Chong also gave special instructions before leaving, which was quite considerate.
The reporters were not paparazzi, and they reached a consensus with Zhang Zhong. As expected, no one moved. After Zhang Zhong left, they slowly dispersed.
Zhang Zhong went to meet his family, and Pengpeng said with a smile, "Dad, you finally escaped."
"What did you escape? Do you think your father is running away at all? Dad used love to influence the enemy, and waited until the enemy put down the butcher knife and left calmly." Zhang Zhong said with a smile.
"Dad is so awesome."
Hu Huifang pouted and said, "This girl is really flattering. Okay, let's go home and cook early. The food is too light during this period. It's time to adjust the taste. Whatever you want to eat, just order."
"Grandma, I want to eat braised chicken."
"Okay, one braised chicken."
"Grandma, I want to eat braised pork."
"It's all braised in braised pork... OK, one braised pork."
"grandmother……"
"Pengpeng, you've finished ordering your dishes. Let others order the rest."
Pengpeng rolled his eyes and said, "Grandma, let me order a pickled fish for daddy."
"Why are you ordering food for others?"
"Dad likes to eat pickled fish the most, isn't it, Dad?"
Zhang Zhong smiled and nodded.
Hu Huifang rolled her eyes and said, "I think you like to eat."
"Hehe, grandma, I'll order some mapo tofu for Teacher Xu."
"Grandma, let me order a beer duck for grandpa..."
"Grandma, let me order some sweet and sour pork ribs for you..."
Hu Huifang felt angry and funny, "I've ordered all the dishes for you, okay, I'll eat these tonight."
"Long live!"
…
On August 29, the last Sunday of summer vacation, Zhang Zhong's new book "The Three-Body Problem" was finally put on the shelves of major bookstores after a period of publicity and waiting.
There are many eyes on the new book.
This time, "The Three-Body Problem" has attracted more attention than all Zhang Zhong's previous books, because it is a serious sequel, and the success of the first part has laid the foundation for the sales of the new book.
As a sequel, the publicity this time has been greatly improved compared to the previous book, so book fans have more expectations. They hope that this book can help Zhang Zhong break various records in one fell swoop.
In addition to being a sequel and greater publicity, there is also some off-site help, such as the two movies released at home and abroad during this period.
The domestic box office of "Xu Sanguan Sells Blood" has reached 600 million Chinese dollars, and the total overseas box office has also reached 200 million Chinese dollars. This box office is not high, but for a literary film, it is already very impressive.
The commercial film "Ten Little Indian Boys" lived up to expectations, taking in US$200 million in box office in North America and US$300 million in overseas box office, directly breaking the record for Chinese-language film and television.
Prior to this, the Chinese-language film with the highest box office in North America was "Every Tree and Every Tree" released in 2016. The box office at that time was 4.78 million US dollars, directly behind "Ten Little Indian Boys".
If director Wen Jinjiang is the main contributor to this movie's domestic box office, then its overseas box office success is mainly due to Zhang Zhong's influence abroad.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see the joints, so Zhang Zhong’s commerciality, which has been tested by the market, has been elevated to a terrifying status.
So everyone is waiting for a miracle, waiting for a miracle that belongs to Zhang Zhong and belongs to China.
