There are not many bookstores nationwide that start selling books at midnight. To be precise, the Hanlinxuan, Jiangcheng family.

This is not like a cinema. As long as there are more popular new films released, there will be people going to the midnight show.

Bookstores do not have this kind of tradition. At most, they just need to open the door a little earlier!

For example, Xinhua Bookstore is indifferent and will not change its business hours because of a certain book. In order to take care of office workers and student parties in the morning, the small-scale bookstore chooses to open at 7 a.m. at this time!

Midnight was quiet, but there were a small group of people waiting hard across the country.

Zhou Yong no longer remembers how long he hadn't been following a book like this. Last time, when Zhang Chu had just debuted, he stayed up late to buy e-books in the early morning to watch "Boyant Pi".

Later, due to my studies and graduation work, even though I still like Zhang Chu's books very much, I didn't have such a crazy life.

Now my work has finally stabilized, and it’s okay to go to bed a little late.

So he planned to buy the Lord of the Rings in the early morning, then go to bed, and wait until he gets up in the morning and squats on the toilet before reading it slowly!

The plan is wonderful, but I don't know if it can be achieved.

"This book is too mysterious, and I don't know what it is written. The confidentiality work is so good that there is no news on the Internet."

Zhou Yong yawned, and he decided to continue waiting.

It is already past 11 o'clock and I have already lie down to sleep according to my previous schedule.

Although I am young, I can't resist the company's distance from the rental place. I go out every morning before 7 o'clock, and the alarm clock at 6:20 o'clock rings on time.

"Fortunately, there is an e-book now, otherwise it would be a bit troublesome to carry this book with you."

It is definitely not realistic for people like him who don’t carry a backpack when they go to and from get off work to and from time to time to hold a book casually.

Therefore, putting your works on your mobile phone is the best choice. Young people these days cannot lose their mobile phones if they lose their wallet keys!

Unless it is a work that I particularly like, Zhou Yong would never buy physical books.

He rarely plays games, but now he just opens a live broadcast website to see if there are any anchors of new singularities, such as outdoor adventures, which are very good.

Time passed by little by little. When Zhou Yong's mobile phone alarm clock rang, he quitted from the live broadcast website without saying a word.

I was familiar with the account of Douban Reading, and then I saw the cover of "The Lord of the Rings" on the homepage!

"Hehe, it's really activated. 10 yuan seems a bit expensive. It's only 20 yuan to buy a physical book."

Even though he said that, his payment speed did not slow down at all.

However, the mobile phone system reminded him that the payment failed!

Zhou Yong was a little puzzled, "It's obvious that there is money in the card, how could the payment fail?"

No one could answer his confusion at this moment, so he had to try again.

However, this time it is even worse!

I can't even enter the payment page.

I was just failing to pay before.

"What the hell is it? Trash Douban, sooner or later, it will go bankrupt!"

Zhou Yong turned off the wireless, then turned on the 4g signal and tried again. The same result was also the same.

He leaned against the computer chair and was speechless. He planned to try it again in a while. Now let's see what it said online first.

As a result, when I opened the Weibo account, I found a video forwarded by Hanlin Culture Media Company.

In the video, the dark readers gathered together, everyone gathered in front of Hanlinxuan Bookstore to count down, the surrounding shops were closed, and the neon lights even stopped working.

When the countdown stops, physical books that pile up like hills bring a considerable impact!

There were also screams and noises in the scene in my ears, which was a bit exciting.

"Where is this? I'm still selling books in the middle of the night. The key is that so many people are going there, which makes me want to buy a physical book!"

Zhou Yong said enviously, the atmosphere was really great.

It's probably the same as a singer releasing a new album and a new iPhone releasing a new album.

He clicked on the comments below the video to check it out, and it was a like that when he turned his back hand!

"Wow, this atmosphere is great. It reminds me of the Harry Potter news before. There has finally been an author in our country who can keep readers in line all night."

"On the scene! Really! The guy in front of me bought a signature book. I wouldn't have parked my car far if I had known it. If I had stopped closer, maybe the signature book would be mine. Fortunately, I was shameless and asked the guy for a photo with the signature book and used it to deceive myself."

"The Lord of the Rings is really here! The pre-sale information I participated in in Jingdong has also updated the logistics information. It will be delivered to the school express delivery point tomorrow morning, so I can't be happier!"

"Hahaha, so are we. In order to provide free shipping, we found a few friends to form orders together and we can get it before class."

"I envy you for working overtime every day to reach this point, your body and mind are even more tired, and you can't read any book at all."

"Oh, I originally wanted to buy this book as soon as possible, but Douban actually collapsed, which made me angry!"

"I won't tell you, I actually bought it in the afternoon. I've always seen it now since then. The plot is a little slow, but it's quite attractive. Please be a little patient!"

It was not Zhou Yong who encountered this situation alone, and no one else could buy it.

After looking at other people's complaints, he finally felt a little more balanced.

After waiting for almost ten minutes, Zhou Yong picked up the phone next to the computer.

This time the system did not collapse again. He finally successfully purchased "The Lord of the Rings" and downloaded it to the app so that he could read it when there was no internet in the subway!

It was already a little late now, so he turned off the computer and turned around to bed.

His sleep quality was very good in the past, but this time he tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep at all!

"Forget it, let's read one chapter! You must go to bed before one point!"

Zhou Yong could not defeat the thoughts in his mind, so he turned over and sat up and lay half on the bed, leaning his pillow behind him.

After seeing this, can you really sleep at one o'clock?

...

For journalists, it is not easy to distinguish Asians. Their facial blindness is probably in the late stage and is no longer helpful.

But this does not affect foreign journalists holding cameras, because there is a very simple way to distinguish, that is, to see where they live!

This is knowledge that only an expert knows.

Although there are many hotels in Cannes, the top-notch real big names will only stay in three of them when attending the film festival.

These three hotels each have a very long history, and each story can be written into a book.

Judging from the map, they all occupy the first line of Cannes sea view, and there is no need to say much about the luxury and beauty of the interior. The most important thing is to have a beach of your own on the Cannes Beach, where every inch of land is valuable, and there is also a floating platform that stretches out from the beach!

During the film festival, when you come to the floating platform and take photos on the beach, the big stars have to make an appointment in advance, and ordinary residents can’t make an appointment at all.

Zhang Chu and his friends stayed at one of the hotels called Majesti, which is the closest hotel to the main venue of the Cannes Film Festival and is also a designated hotel of the Film Festival Organizing Committee.

Celebrities invited by the official will stay here unless their team is so large that they want to rent a luxury villa outside to live temporarily.

Before the red carpet begins, celebrities will change their dresses directly in the room, and walk out of the hotel and step onto the red carpet directly. No matter how long the skirt is or how high the hem of the shoe hem is, you don’t have to worry about it.

Gong Li has attracted many foreign media to take photos, but Zhang Chu has to put on her sunglasses because many reporters are interested in this genius writer!

His work "The Lord of the Rings" will be released in Cannes tomorrow. It is said that many Hollywood companies have already targeted this story, just to see who can get the first place.

Due to the time difference, it was already early in the morning in China, but it was still seven or eight o'clock in the evening in Cannes!

The latitudes in Europe are generally higher, and it is summer, so this point also has the afterglow of the sunset hanging in the west sky.

Even though Zhang Chu is just a behind-the-scenes person, he is in Cannes this time with four films, and his popularity is no less than that of ordinary actors.

"I didn't expect you to be so popular. It seems that Blair is not exaggerating." Zhou Kang whispered beside Zhang Chu. In the past, he thought that those praises were just Blair's politeness. Anyway, I have always heard that foreigners like to praise others.

Zhang Chu rolled his eyes through his sunglasses, "You don't look at how many books we sold abroad last year. Uncle Zhou, let's go check in first. I have to meet with the staff of BNP Paribas tomorrow morning. I'm almost exhausted!"

From Yanjing to Zurich, from Zurich to Nice, and then to Cannes, this is a long way to go.

Xu Ji was really exhausted over there and needed someone to help him. Even Gong Li's face with heavy makeup could not hide the fatigue.

The boats were exhausted, and everyone wanted to settle down early.

The male star is fine, but the female star will suffer!

If you want to appear beautifully in front of the camera, the photos of foreign media will not be refined. If you don’t sleep well, your skin will be in poor condition and will definitely become a red carpet disaster.

After all, Zhang Chu wanted to cooperate with foreign brands to open a hotel, so now he is taking this opportunity to see the hotel in Cannes.

"Everyone is tired, have a good rest tonight. See you next day at 2pm tomorrow!"

Xu Ji didn't explain much, he knew very well that everyone who came to Cannes was very busy.

Zhang Chu smiled and said, "Good night."

A group of people said good night weakly to each other before leaving.

However, Zhou Kang seemed very active, probably because he slept on the plane for a while.

"It's already one o'clock in the evening in Yanjing time, and your "Lord of the Rings" should be on the shelves. The company's people must have sent me real-time statistics."

Zhang Chu shook his head, and he had already yawned four or five times at this moment, and tears were about to flow out.

"Uncle Zhou, otherwise tomorrow will be the same."
