"The Last Starfish" leads this year's Custer Awards with ten nominations. Although the final results have not been announced, Affleck has become the biggest winner of this year's Custer Awards.
But what is surprising is that among the ten nominations for "The Last Starfish", there were no Best Actor or Best Actress.
It is easy to understand that there is no best actress, after all, this movie itself has no female protagonist.
But it's a bit unreasonable that there is no nomination for Best Actor. Even if the male protagonist of "The Last Starfish" is a little-known oriental face, in this case, he should be nominated.
Just for this matter, Affleck made a special call.
Although Affleck did not directly mention this on the phone, Zhang Zhong could tell that Affleck was here to test his reaction.
Zhang Zhong did not give any reaction, but congratulated Affleck for getting ten nominations.
He didn't take it seriously at all. He walked the road step by step by himself, not relying on others.
And he felt that Affleck's call should be made to the star of "The Last Starfish" instead of to himself.
…
Two days later, Zhang Zhong looked at the email in his mailbox and laughed unconsciously. He really didn't expect that he would receive an invitation letter to the Custer Awards Ceremony.
Of course, the Custer Awards organizing committee has every reason to invite him. After all, "The Last Starfish", which is leading the award this time, is adapted from his novel of the same name.
The Custer Award Ceremony is scheduled for the 21st of next month. At that time, Zhang Zhong should be busy with the multi-school literary exchange meeting, so it is a pity that he will not attend.
Of course, even if there was no multi-school literary exchange meeting, he probably would not attend it.
Let alone talking about it, there are two worlds there for him. He will probably only know Affleck among the people present, and he is not a person who likes to join in the fun. The chaos at the award ceremony is not suitable either.
he.
However, he was very considerate to the other party, and even wrote a special email to explain the situation to the other party, and said that he was very sorry that he could not go there, and that he would definitely go there next time he had the opportunity.
After sending the written rejection email, Zhang Zhong went to Meng Mu Xiaozhu.
When he arrived at Mengmu Xiaozhu, Xu Yuhan was chatting with two young female teachers in the rest area.
Seeing Zhang Zhong approaching, the two young female teachers smiled at Xu Yuhan and then stood up.
"Teacher Zhang, you don't have classes today." One of the lively female teachers joked with a smile.
Zhang Zhong is a part-time teacher at Mengmu Xiaozhu, and he comes here often, so he is familiar with the teachers here.
He smiled and said, "I work overtime voluntarily, and you should follow my example."
The two girls giggled, "We won't be light bulbs here anymore."
After they left, Xu Yuhan looked at Zhang Zhong and rolled her eyelids up, "You are quite good at chatting."
"Giving employees a good mood is what a qualified boss should do." Zhang Chong said with a smile.
"I am the boss, what does it have to do with you?"
"Aren't they all the same? What's yours and mine." Zhang Zhong stretched out his hand, "Ms. Xu Yuhan, would I be honored to treat you to afternoon tea?"
Xu Yuhan put her hand on Zhang Zhong's hand, but her expression was very puzzled, "Why do you want to have afternoon tea so politely?"
"There is a gathering of old members at Green Field Bookstore. I'll go check it out."
"Green Field Bookstore, is it the bookstore downstairs we used to have?" Xu Yuhan asked. She had heard Zhang Zhong mention it before, and it was originally located in the same shopping mall as Meng Mu's house, so she had seen it before.
Many times.
Zhang Zhong nodded and said, "Yes, when Pengpeng was studying there, I spent a lot of time there."
Speaking of that time, Xu Yuhan also had memories in her heart.
Several years have passed unknowingly, but it feels like it is right before our eyes. In just a few years, their relationship with each other has also changed a lot.
Xu Yuhan can no longer remember how she felt when she saw Zhang Zhong for the first time, but the scene of Zhang Zhong taking out a mobile phone left a deep impression on her.
"Wait for me for a while, I'll go to the toilet and I'll be out soon." Xu Yuhan said with a smile, and then went to the toilet.
Half an hour later, when Xu Yuhan came out of the toilet, Zhang Zhong could clearly feel the difference between before and after she went in and out of the toilet.
Although she didn't wear heavy makeup, both her hair and face were carefully taken care of. It seemed that she had spent the past half hour on her face.
"Let's go."
…
When the two of them arrived at the bookstore, the proprietress Li Tianyi and a young girl were busy at the bar, and Zhang Junwei didn't know where they were.
"Madam boss, let's have a cup of spring to celebrate the four seasons." Zhang Zhong said with a smile as he walked to the bar.
"Okay, may I ask for the sugar content..." Li Tianyi was ordering, and she looked up one day. Then she saw the smiling Zhang Zhong, and her expression was stunned, "Zhang..."
Before Teacher Zhang could say these three words, she reacted and whispered, "Teacher Zhang, why are you here?"
Zhang Chong smiled and said, "Isn't today a gathering of old members? I am also an old member."
"But why didn't Junwei tell me? They have already started." Li Tianyi looked at the second floor and asked in confusion.
"It's okay, we'll go up by ourselves right away."
After hearing Zhang Zhong say "we", Li Tianyi noticed a beautiful woman standing sideways behind Zhang Zhong, but because of Zhang Zhong's special status, she was embarrassed to ask who it was.
Zhang Zhong took the initiative to introduce, "This is the boss's wife Li Tianyi, and this is my girlfriend Xu Yuhan."
"Hello, hello." Li Tianyi greeted quickly.
Xu Yuhan also smiled and nodded: "Hello, boss lady."
"Teacher Zhang, you want spring to bloom all year round, right? What about you, Miss Xu?"
"I'd like a cup of stocking milk tea, thank you."
"Okay, okay, you go up first. I'll serve it to you when it's ready."
"Then I'll trouble you."
Zhang Zhong pulled Xu Yuhan towards the second floor. Before he could go up, he heard a heated discussion coming from the second floor.
"I think the cost of hosting the exchange meeting in the Hope Exhibition Hall is too high. People in our association gather together based on interest and fate. There is no need to deliberately spend money on it. Anyone who wants to support the exhibition hall can voluntarily do so.
"
"The president is right. If you feel that the threshold is too low and there are too many people and the space is small, we can find another place."
"Hehe, that's what I said."
Zhang Zhong listened for half of it but didn't get any clue. When they walked up to the second floor, they saw what Zhang Junwei was drawing on the small blackboard.
Perhaps because no one was talking at the moment, Zhang Junwei looked over when he heard the footsteps.
When he saw Zhang Zhong and Xu Yuhan coming up the stairs, he rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
