Chapter 725 Super Popularity(1/2)
If the impact of becoming famous on Zhang Chu, then it will mainly be reflected in the two invigilators on the day of the exam. .
These two invigilators have heard of his name for a long time. After posting the test papers, they stared at him. They didn't seem to have moved away a few times during the entire exam.
I guess I think this young writer might cheat on the exam.
After taking the two exams calmly, Zhang Chu was taken to Zhou Kang, who was driving here, to make clothes and style.
Male writers will also dress up a little, and will not wear slippers or cotton jackets to attend events.
"Originally, the organizing committee arranged an awards ceremony for you tonight, but I think it's boring if you don't have enough qualifications now, so I'll refuse it for you."
Today, Zhang Chu's bodyguard and driver asked for leave because his daughter had a fever, so he could only let Zhou Kang play this role temporarily.
Indeed, it is a bit unreasonable to ask a young boy to present awards to writers over 50 years old.
Although the ancients once said that "there are successive things in the knowledge and knowledge, and the profession is specialized", the phenomenon of placing seniority in real life is very serious!
Zhang Chu strongly agreed with Zhou Kang's move: "Even if you give the Best Newcomer Award, maybe those winners are older than me, so don't go on stage to stimulate others."
"Yes, the media always likes gimmicks like you that are famous for being young. But most of the right to speak in the literary world is in the hands of middle-aged or elderly writers, and they don't like young people like you."
Zhou Kang didn't want Zhang Chu to come to the stage and then to attract hatred. He had already been stamped with countless hatred marks tonight, so as to less.
The clothes were customized and modified a few days ago, and they are more intimate than the ones they bought to wear.
The hairstylist first came over to cut Zhang Chu with a refreshing hairstyle, and then the makeup artist applied it briefly, and even helped him draw two sword eyebrows without any trace.
Change into a slight glossy three-piece suit, and also paired with a bag towel of the same color. As for the tie, it is a narrow plaid version of CCTV. The white shirt is used as a suit lining, which looks simple and stylish.
"A young man like this, others will think you are a young and handsome guy in the entertainment industry who is here to take advantage of the popularity!" Zhou Kang asked with a smile, "Do you want to take photos and post a Weibo account?"
Zhang Chu shook his head and said, "I'm not the kind of person who relies on my face to make a living. Remember to help me beautify my face, squat down and pat my long legs."
As the time was almost over, they didn't stay in the styling room for too long, so they drove toward the venue.
The rush hour on Monday night is not a joke. Zhang Chu doesn’t want to become the finale because of traffic jams. If you leave early, you can eat something.
Last year, he met a few new friends there, but he didn't contact him frequently because of his age, background and region, and finally became a friend of his friends on WeChat Moments.
Today he wanted to meet these old friends, and I don’t know if they received the invitation!
"How many prizes do you think you can win?" Zhou Kang asked casually. The car dealership is now very fast, just chatting casually.
Zhang Chu turned his gaze from his phone, and he replied, "Look at the gods. I hope the award speech I prepared can come in handy."
"You really have a lot of news lately. Today's Writers' Annual Meeting, tomorrow's Detective Sherlock Season 2 premiered, and then there may be a list of global writers. If only you can participate in any program!"
"Do you want me to fail the exam or just give up the exam?"
"I want you to get the first place in the entire series."
"Then forget it, I just need to be a paddling person in the middle of the river."
Zhang Chu completed the contents of these final exams independently and did not cheat through the Savior system.
He was a poor student in his previous life, and he was very satisfied with himself among the many prides in the Chinese Department of Yenching University in this life, among the many talented people in his life, and he was still able to make it to the middle level with his strength!
...
Hu Wei also received an invitation letter. Last year, he was shortlisted for the most popular historical work for his work "Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty". This year, he came with his book "The Empire of Ming".
Originally, he wanted to write about the Qin Dynasty, but in the first half of this year, he saw Zhang Chu's "The Fifteenth Year of Wanli", which gave him some new ideas.
There were many and many things to write about in the Ming Dynasty. He chose the reign of Emperor Zhengde Zhu Houzhao. At that time, there were many historical celebrities and the stories were also very interesting.
It took me half a year to write the "Ming Dynasty Empire", but when I was publishing the book, I almost ran into "The Legend of Wukong"!
Later, the publishing company decisively advanced the release period of the work by two weeks, and finally won the weekly sales champion from Zhang Chu's nails.
Although those two books are not the same type at all, they will be placed on the same ranking.
This time, Hu Wei knew that the probability of winning the award was not too high. Historical themes were almost booming this year. Both academic works and fictional books were successful. Even the works of foreign writers have equal reputation and sales!
The sales volume of "The Ming Empire" is not as good as the "Fifteenth Year of Wanli", and its reputation and influence are not at the same level.
"Oh, I didn't expect that the person who wrote "Ghost Blows Out the Light" could be so good at writing history!"
Hu Wei sighed in his heart that he heard the radio of "Ghost Blowing the Light: Jingjue Ancient City" in a taxi, and then was attracted by this story and then he kept following Zhang Chu.
When "The Fifteenth Year of Wanli" was not published, he came into contact with Zhang Chu's professor Yang Xuancong through a chat group, so that he could see the work in advance.
The final paper used to deal with a course eventually became one of the collections of libraries around the world. This experience is still very brilliant!
If Zhang Chu hadn't had the rest of his resume too shining, he could have taken it out and was hyped for half a year.
Many historical masters have devoted their efforts to write works that are not only circulated within the industry, but are simply no one cares about them outside.
But Zhang Chu directly posted the book abroad with his high popularity, and also attracted the recognition of many foreigners!
However, at this annual meeting, Hu Wei was not optimistic about the award of "The Fifteenth Year of Wanli" because this book had no public relations!
Nanhai Publishing Company completely lets it fend for itself!
Many writers also attended various gatherings, forums, etc. for the other works selected, and put their eyes on them and started shouting.
"Xiao Hu, I haven't seen it for a long time. You look a lot more round?" An old man wearing a Zhongshan suit and gray hair smiled and praised.
Hu Wei smiled shyly and bowed and said, "The doctor said that my child was a little malnourished. My wife gave her nutrition every day, but she helped me up. Congratulations, Mr. Lin, I have released this masterpiece again after three years. I think it is very well written!"
Lin Ye is already in his seventies, and his main works are basically biographies, but generally do not write biographies for living people, but they only write biography of historical figures.
Although many celebrities invited him to write his own biography, such as Zhou Hongwei, Li Kaifu, etc., Lin Ye directly refused.
The "Biography of Li Taibai" he brought this year has a good evaluation. The characters' experiences are basically in line with historical situations. Although imagination is used in local details and secondary characters, it does not hinder the overall integrity.
Lin Ye’s biography portrays the image of Li Bai’s elegant poetic immortal very well, with vivid language and interesting plots, and has considerable artistic appeal!
"I'm old and I've written it for three years. I can't write it out like you young people, who are quick-thinking and can't accept old age."
Hu Wei wanted to shake his head and said, "Old Lin, I'm also one movie a year."
"So you can still speed up. Look at the young man named Zhang Chu, who wrote quickly and well. This time you have to get to know him well and help my two grandsons get autographs."
When it comes to Linye, he has no emphasis on fame and fortune, but he is full of appreciation for his younger generations.
But he is just a biography writer and has limited help to Zhang Chu in the literary circle, so he often talks about Zhang Chu's name when chatting, just like to help this guy get familiar with him.
Except for the people from Shanding Cave, I guess there is no one in the writer circle who doesn’t know Zhang Chu!
"Mr. Lin, do you also read Zhang Chu's books?" Hu Wei asked curiously.
"Look, I almost never missed it! The first one I came into contact with was the book "The Fifteenth Year of Wanli". This way and angle of writing history are very unique."
Writing biography of historical figures is inseparable from the study of history. In fact, Lin Ye is also a university professor. After retiring from China Normal University at the age of 60, he was rehired for five years. So like Hu Wei, he is both a professor and a writer.
After watching "The Fifteenth Year of Wanli", Lin Ye became interested in this young man and called an old friend from Yan University to praise him.
But later I found out that the book was actually a classroom paper taught by Zhang Chu. In fact, they spent most of their time writing novels!
People over the age of 7 were originally a bit taboo about tomb robbers, but Lin Ye still watched it with relish.
What surprised him the most was actually the comic "Those Things That Rabbit That Year". After decades of great changes, many of the things he experienced at the beginning were actually painted into comics between animals.
This made him tell stories to the kindergarten grandson more vividly. The grandson, who was not originally kissing him, is now holding an iPad for a long time and asking his grandfather to tell stories!
This time, Lin Ye came to attend the writers' annual meeting to meet his old friend. At his age, there are not many opportunities to meet, and he may be a farewell next time.
...
The annual writers' meeting is a grand event in the cultural world. Not only writers from all walks of life have appeared, but many cross-border celebrities and socialites also attended the event.
Nowadays, I feel embarrassed to say that I am a star if I don’t publish books or biographies!
When the time came to six o'clock in the afternoon, the sky in Yanjing was almost dark, and the lights shone on the red carpet, making the surrounding audiences who were facing the cold wind couldn't help but be happy.
"I hope to shoot two more stars, it's not in vain. I'll be freezing a cold." Cui Zizheng stomped his feet, and he found that his girlfriend next to him was full of energy and seemed to be unable to see her tiredness at all.
He regrets very much now why he promised his girlfriend to run to the outdoor red carpet in the cold winter months, which is suitable for staying indoors.
"Dear, please help me lift the display board! You must shout louder later so that Lao Hu will notice us."
Xiao Yun is a typical star-chasing girl. After she learned from the fan club that Hu Gehui came to attend the writers' annual meeting, she dragged her boyfriend to the scene.
Cui Zizheng replied weakly: "I'll try my best."
"Don't do this, cheer up! Don't you like Zhang Chu's books? I've already inquired, and Zhang Chu will walk the red carpet. Then I'll take a selfie stick to see if I can take a photo with him."
Xiao Yun is still very inspiring. She pointed to the group of people over there, "Look, many of them are Zhang Chu's fans. One book writer actually has more people than acting and singing."
In fact, after yesterday's new book trial meeting, these fans gathered together and agreed to cheer for Zhang Chu today.
Fans have to hold events regularly to enhance cohesion!
Cui Zizheng said proudly: "Real fans don't compete. Anyway, we can witness him win the award with our own eyes today. If I ask me, such a suspenseless annual meeting is really meaningless."
"Just pretend. I saw you forwarded your Moments and asked someone else to vote for Zhang Chu's books. Now I say there is no suspense." Xiao Yun said contemptuously.
Just as the two were waiting anxiously, the red carpet host finally showed up.
The male host is fine, she is not cold at all in a suit.
The female host was wearing a thin yellow long skirt with her arms and calf exposed, looking beautiful and frozen.
Of course, there will be live broadcasts for such a large event, but there is no TV station, so it can only be through cooperative video websites.
