"Dad, the Voldemort you pretend to be is so ugly."
While having dinner, the family watched Zhang Zhong’s afternoon cosplay video. Peng Peng pointed at the Voldemort played by Zhang Zhong in the video and said.
"It's okay to be ugly." Zhang Chong said with a smile, "Because dad is pretending to be Voldemort."
Pengpeng had already finished listening to the story of "Harry Potter", so she knew that Voldemort was indeed ugly. She nodded and shook her head, "Then don't pretend to be Voldemort. Dad can pretend to be the principal."
"But dad is not that old." Zhang Zhong said.
"Can't you put on makeup?" Pengpeng touched Zhang Zhong's chin, "Just put a beard on the chin."
"Okay, okay, next time I will play the principal."
Xu Yuhan smiled and said, "Pengpeng, do you want to play a role?"
"Me?" Pengpeng thought for a while and said, "I want to play Professor McGonagall."
"Why?"
Zhang Zhong was a little surprised. He thought Pengpeng would talk about those little heroines, but he didn't expect to talk about Professor McGonagall.
McGonagall is the deputy headmaster of Hogwarts, who specializes in teaching transfiguration. She is a traditional, stereotypical older woman.
Pengpeng's cosplay of McGonagall is even more exaggerated than Zhang Zhong's cosplay of Principal Dumbledore.
"Because she is very powerful."
It's pretty awesome...
Zhang Zhong imagined Pengpeng holding a magic wand, standing on the podium, teaching people magic in a serious manner, and suddenly he felt it was quite funny.
…
After dinner, Zhang Zhong took his family to the Convention and Exhibition Center. The Hugo Award Ceremony will be held soon. In order to allow more people to attend the ceremony, the organizing committee decided to hold the ceremony at the Convention and Exhibition Center.
.
There is also an exhibition hall similar to an auditorium at the Zhuwang Exhibition Hall, but it is not large and can only accommodate three to four hundred people, while the auditorium at the Convention and Exhibition Center can seat more than a thousand people.
Although the Diwang Exhibition Hall is not far from the Convention and Exhibition Center, Zhang Zhong and the others still took a bus there.
The car drove to the entrance of the convention and exhibition center, Zhang Zhong opened the door and got down. His family members stayed in the car. They would enter through the other door later as ordinary members.
There is a long red carpet spread at the entrance of the Convention and Exhibition Center. It starts from the stage inside the auditorium and goes through the auditorium, then passes through the corridor and comes to the entrance of the Convention and Exhibition Center. Finally, it extends down the steps step by step, and finally it is spread to
roadside.
Zhang Zhong stepped out with one foot and happened to step on the red carpet.
When he looked up, he saw Linde not far away being interviewed by reporters.
Some reporters also saw Zhang Zhong and hurriedly ran to Zhang Zhong.
This is because the organizing committee did not arrange it well. Lin De and Zhang Zhong either appeared at the same time or one after the other, with one walking and the other coming up.
Now, just after Linde left for a while, Zhang Zhong came over, and the situation was very embarrassing.
It was impossible for Zhang Zhong to question the organizing committee at this moment, so in order to avoid an embarrassing situation, he immediately trotted towards Linde.
There was only a distance of more than twenty steps, and Zhang Zhong walked to Linde's side in a moment.
The reporter who originally wanted to abandon Linde did not leave when he saw Zhang Zhong coming, and the reporters who were originally following Zhang Zhong were also led by him to merge around Linde.
Seeing Zhang Zhong running over, Lin De knew of course that Zhang Zhong was thinking about him and nodded gratefully.
"Pz, Mr. Linde said that today's event was organized by the conference, so the reason why the conference organized such an event was influenced by your previous cosplay of Voldemort?" a reporter asked.
Zhang Chong smiled and said, "I think this question should be left to Mr. Hilde to answer. I don't know his thoughts. In fact, this activity did not take much time from proposal to completion. At that time, Mr. Hilde proposed this
When we suggested it, we all thought it was interesting, so we agreed.”
"Will there be such activities in the future? Many netizens on the Internet hope to see more collaborations between excellent writers like you."
"It all depends on fate. After all, we all have our own things to do. But there are still many outstanding writers, and I think you will see more similar activities."
"Mr. Linde, your linkage this time is very perfect, especially those lines, which connect several worlds very smoothly. Who created these lines?"
Linde said, "It was not created by one person, but was discussed by a few of us and other people on the organizing committee. Of course, the leader is pz."
The reporters looked at Zhang Zhong again.
Zhang Chong said with a smile, "Yes, I did have more participation in the dialogue part, but this is because there is still a lot of content in "Harry Potter" that has not been serialized, and others still have many dissatisfaction with the world view of this work.
The things I know. For example, the Voldemort I play does not have much description in the parts that have been serialized."
"Many netizens hope that you can create some works related to this linked world view. Is this possible?"
"I don't know, we don't have such a plan yet," Zhang Zhong said.
"Have any of you ever thought about authorizing other authors to create fan fiction?"
Zhang Zhong raised his eyebrows and said, "Your suggestion is good. Maybe we will consider it later. Of course, the specific operation is also a very troublesome matter."
"As a reader, I hope to see this matter become a reality sooner." The reporter who asked the question said with a smile.
Another reporter asked: "Would you consider licensing it for free?"
Zhang Zhong frowned, copyright matters were always very sensitive.
He did not answer directly, but said: "I don't rule out the possibility of free, but there are two points. First, I don't have the final say in this world. There are three other writers involved. Second, whether it is free or not is decided by me."
Free does not depend on whether we want to make money, but on the ecology of the entire literary circle."
"Are you saying that if you license it for free, it might affect the ecology of the literary circle?"
"Please don't ask a question I've already answered."
"..."
After dealing with the reporters, Zhang Zhong and Lin De walked into the convention and exhibition center side by side. The reporters were left on the steps, and a new writer happened to come over at this moment.
"Thank you for your rescue just now, otherwise I guess there would be news in the newspapers tomorrow saying things like 'change of dynasty' and 'Lin De's end'." Lin De said gratefully.
Zhang Zhong waved his hand, "Only the stupid media would think that a writer with annual sales of more than 100 million has come to an end."
Last year, Linde's total book sales exceeded 100 million copies. Although it cannot compare with Zhang Zhong's figures, it is still the best in the world and cannot be matched by others.
"The media is not stupid, they know what people want to watch," Lind said.
