"Do I understand that the movie adaptation of "Clockwork Girl" will be available to everyone soon?" the reporter asked.
Zhang Chong laughed and said, "No, but the three movies "The Devotion of Suspect X", "The Shining" and "Murder on the Orient Express" will be released to you soon."
These reporters wanted to get something out of Zhang Zhong, but they didn't expect that Zhang Zhong would hit him with Tai Chi and instead put out a wave of advertisements for his other three upcoming movies.
There is no need to elaborate on these things, they have already reported them.
"pz..."
Just when the reporter was about to ask the next question, Zhang Zhong pushed Feng He forward, "Don't you have anything to ask the other two winners?"
Zhang Zhong took half a step back, and the reporters did not dare to ask any more questions.
Even though Zhang Zhong seemed to be affable with them at the moment, in their media world, Zhang Zhong's bad temper was well known to everyone. If he accidentally angered Zhang Zhong, there would be no good consequences.
Zhang Zhong is not an entertainment star, so he still needs to give some face to media people like them.
In the past, media people held pens, and if anyone didn't give them face, the pens in their hands would turn into knives, and people would get no good results.
But this doesn't apply to Zhang Zhong.
What Zhang Zhong holds in his hand is a powerful pen. For a writer who has sold more than 2 billion books, if he wants words to punish him, it is really too natural.
To put it bluntly, Zhang Zhong can blow up a media with just a fart.
If you don't want to suffer disaster, it's better to cause less tension.
The reporters could only turn their attention to the other two winners, mainly Feng He, because Feng He was higher than Marco in terms of both the weight of the award and the popularity of the news. Of course, the media reporters were very realistic.
"Mr. Feng He, congratulations on becoming the second Chinese writer to win the Nebula Award after pz. Before that, have you ever thought about this situation?"
Hearing the reporter's question, Zhang Zhong rolled his eyes. What kind of level are these reporters? They have been interviewing for ten thousand years, and they have always asked the same questions.
Otherwise he won't even answer.
However, Feng He did not have such a temper. He smiled and replied: "Of course I have thought about it. I think most science fiction writers are like me and have thought about this kind of thing. I think this also just shows that the Nebula Award
weight in people’s hearts.”
"Mr. Feng He, your award-winning work "Backside of the Center of the Earth" sets a mirror world, which is a novel punk style. How did you get the inspiration?"
Hearing this question, Zhang Zhong nodded. This kind of question was reasonable, which at least showed that the reporter had done his homework.
When asked about his work, Feng He was also very happy, "Actually, I thought of writing this book because I had a dream after watching "Lord of the Flies". In the dream, our homeland was destroyed by war, and people had to do this in order to survive.
Constantly looking for a new home..."
Feng He was being interviewed, while Zhang Zhong and Marco were willing to serve as background walls.
In order to prevent Marco from being too lonely, Zhang Zhong took the initiative to talk to him, "Congratulations, you won the award twice for one series."
Marco was flattered by Zhang Zhong's initiative to strike up a conversation, "There are very few science fiction movies with original scripts, so the gold content of my award is not high."
"You are too modest." Zhang Chong said with a smile, "Actually, writing original scripts is no different from writing novels."
"I'm really embarrassed when you say that." Marco, whose beard had turned white, looked a little shy, "I like reading your books very much, and I often find inspiration from your works."
"It's my pleasure."
"For example, there is a scene in the second part of "Helicopter 47" that is a tribute to "I, Robot". A helicopter equipped with an intelligent operating system received a contradictory remote command after the pilot died, but could only
Spin in the air." Marco said.
Zhang Zhong raised his eyebrows, "What you said made me a little interested in this movie. The protagonist of the movie is a helicopter, code-named 47?"
"Haha, that's not the case. In fact, the protagonist is an intelligent control system named 47. However, this system is not yet mature and is only used for auxiliary operations of helicopters."
"It seems that the 47 series can be very long." Zhang Zhong joked.
"Well, that's right."
"It's good. We can discuss science fiction when we have time."
"Actually, I follow your Instagram." Marco said.
"Thank you for your attention, but I usually don't use Instagram. I use Huaxia Weiyu more. If you are interested, you can register an account on Weiyu and the two of us will follow each other." Zhang Zhong said with a smile.
"Of course you can. I'll register one later."
"Well, remember to tell Weiyu officials that you are a Nebula Award winner. This will make it easier for me to find you."
"OK, thanks."
…
"I feel that these foreign authors are more difficult to deal with than domestic ones." On the way back to the hotel, Feng He took a gulp of water and said.
He had been "interrogated" by reporters for half an hour just now, and his mouth was already dry.
"It's not that foreign reporters are difficult to deal with, it's that you are different now. Wait, after you return to China, you will find that domestic reporters are also difficult to deal with."
"That's probably true. This can be considered a side effect of becoming famous." Feng He nodded, "I didn't expect that at my age, I would actually start to become famous."
Feng He is not that old, but because his spectacle lenses are too thick and he doesn't take care of himself very much, he looks a bit pedantic.
And he is also humble. Although he is more famous now because of the Nebula Award, he was not penniless before. He was also a best-selling author with a best-selling book.
If it were anyone else, I would probably have to make money every day under the name of a "well-known domestic writer".
There are many unknown "domestic well-known writers" who are making money everywhere. If you look at today's TV shows, any guest who has some exposure to the cultural circle will not have the title of "well-known writer".
If you look it up more seriously, you may find that he has written more than a dozen books, the total sales of which are less than five figures, and more than half of them were bought by the author himself as gifts.
On the contrary, people like Feng He who are truly talented and have sold over a million books are very humble and always regard themselves as unknown writers.
In fact, it’s easy to understand. What level of people do Feng He come into contact with?
Many of them are domestic best-selling authors. No matter how bad they are, they are still real writers and have some quality.
However, those "well-known writers" are not people in the literary circle at all. After publishing a few books, they feel separated from the "ordinary people" around them and actively elevate themselves to another class.
