The picture in Li Chungang's imagination:
Lin Meng and the staff of Random House were besieged in the center by the chaotic media reporters, making useless struggles to try to regain control of the situation, but those who were full of satisfaction and full of mind wanted to interview themselves to get a piece of breaking news The media reporters turned a blind eye, like a flat boat in the sea that would capsize at any time.
However, what Li Chungang saw when he opened the door:
At a glance, the domestic media reporters, who couldn't tell the exact number, lined up in several rows like recruits waiting for their superiors to be inspected. At this time, Lin Meng, with his back turned to him, stood in front of these people like It's like a general who is inspecting his troops, controlling the whole scene.
And the black brother of Random House staff who was supposed to play a role stood beside Lin Meng with a blank expression on his face.
It wasn't that he wanted to be "lazy", but that the large group of people in front of him all spoke Chinese, not to mention not understanding a word, even half a word!
"Li Chungang is here!!!"
The sharp-eyed members of the media reporters immediately spotted Li Chungang coming out of the backstage lounge, and immediately couldn't help shouting loudly in the team, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the audience, including Lin Meng was no exception, turning to the outside and looking back.
Seeing the appearance of the rightful owner, these media reporters, who had maintained order and quality as much as possible, became agitated. Some people who hadn't grabbed the best position in the first row were eager to try and rush through the first row. The interception ran directly to Li Chungang's side to seize the best position.
Standing at the forefront of these, Lin Meng naturally felt the eagerness and commotion the most, and quickly figured out the reason for this in his heart. The situation was about to collapse completely, and he yelled as if in a hurry: "If there is a mess, we will leave as soon as possible out of personal safety considerations!"
"This……"
"That's it, that's it."
"Hey hey~ Don't squeeze the people behind, who are you looking at? You, you are talking about the one wearing glasses, who has been pushing me from behind since just now!"
"Can you have some quality?"
"Be careful, don't lose your face abroad."
"..."
Under this kind of quarrel between you and me, the situation finally remained the same.
Seeing that the scene was maintained, Li Chungang walked to Lin Meng's side and stood still. Looking at these domestic compatriots with yellow skin and black eyes, he was really not used to it.There is no way to do this. I used to walk on the street every day in China and look at the campus every day. Naturally, I didn’t feel this way. But if you go abroad for a while, most of the people you see around you every day are foreigners. The densely packed Chinese people are really kind.
"Hello everyone, thank you for your enthusiasm."
There is no one who does not pursue profit, Li Chungang is very clear that these people did not choose to leave after the press conference but came to the backcourt, naturally they came here for profit.
Speaking of how to deal with these media reporters who have been dubbed the title of "Uncrowned King", he still has some experience of his own. Simply put, it is like the feeling of playing with the hooked fish when fishing. When you are struggling with all your strength, you should loosen the thread properly, and when you are exhausted, you can take it up in an instant.
"Ahem~ I can probably guess the purpose of everyone's visit, but I have other schedules later, so you can discuss it and send **** out to ask me three questions, as long as I can answer them A satisfactory answer, everyone!"
Chapter 538 The standard is a bit low
There is only a chance for three questions! ! !
Li Chungang's words were like throwing a heavy bomb on the lake that had just calmed down. The domestic media reporters who were squeezed into the background were not lightly bombed. There are more than a dozen media, so the probability of getting a chance to ask questions is less than one-fifth every minute.
especially……
Standing at the front of their group is the "Xinhua News Agency", the big brother of the national brand. There is no doubt that one of the three opportunities to ask questions will be taken!
The rest are big domestic first-line media companies, such as Phoenix News, Sina News, Penguin News, etc. No matter how you look at them, self-media companies that are inferior to these companies in scale do not seem to have a chance.
In fact, this is where Li Chungang's "brilliance" lies.
If he was asked to personally choose three of the many domestic media reporters to accept questions, no matter which three are finally selected, the remaining media will be somewhat resentful, but now the right to choose is thrown to them, regardless of the final result No matter what it is, it is a dispute within their industry, and no matter what it is, it will not be counted on him.
……
Because of the limited time, they are also very aware that such a large group of people came to the backstage to find Li Chungang. There is a result of the discussion.
The result of the final negotiation is not the most perfect, but at least it is the best solution that all parties can come up with.
The main proposer of this plan is a reporter from Xinhua News Agency. After a brief self-introduction, everyone knows that he is the deputy editor-in-chief of Xinhua News Agency. Compared with the identity of most of the reporters present, it is still a bit convincing. of.
The media present are roughly divided into three lineup teams, which do not affect each other.
As for what questions to ask, whether to share them with other colleagues after asking, or to keep it secret within the team is their freedom. This staggering can at least keep each media with different content to report as much as possible.
Never come home empty-handed.
Li Chungang stood aside and watched silently as these people quickly formed a group into three small teams, and then each of the three small teams besieged the city in an impenetrable small circle and began to discuss the specific content of the questions they wanted to ask. Find a "balance point".
"The group on the left should all have a national name."
"In the middle is traditional news media."
"On the far right are those that focus on new media such as Sina, Phoenix, and Penguin."
Lin Meng approached Li Chungang and quickly introduced to him the media composition divided into three teams. For her who is interested in developing in the entertainment media industry, it is only a matter of being the general manager to understand the information of the domestic news media. It's just basic skills.
What are the traditional media, what are the major and well-known local media, what are the new online media and self-media, etc...
"A friendly reminder to everyone: time is really a little tight."
Time is passing by bit by bit, and these people are still arguing about what specific questions to ask, but at this time Caitlin's secretary Peggy, who was originally in charge of arranging Li Chungang's personal interview with the media, came out of the lounge and went to the exit walk quickly.
Although she didn't say a word the whole time, Peggy's appearance all sent a signal: the media for the personal interview is coming soon!
This forced Lin Meng to speak out to remind the group of people in front of him who seemed to be "going ahead", if they continued wasting time like this, they might not even get the last three opportunities to ask questions.
Opportunities are given to you, but you are useless.
"Is that the case?"
"it is good!"
"The minority obeys the majority, so be it."
"exactly!"
"That's it."
"..."
People are like this sometimes, they don't feel that time is so precious until they die!If it hadn't been for Lin Meng to remind these people at this time, if they continue arguing like this, they may not be able to reach a final result if they are given another dozen or ten minutes.
"Are you going to listen together, or separately?"
Looking at these domestic media that are clearly divided into three different camps, Li Chungang feels that it is necessary to ask. There will be competition among various industries, and there will also be more intense competition within the industry. He said that it is understandable. He thinks this problem It is still necessary to ask.
"Separate!" *3
Good guy, the media reporters from the three camps had a rare cooperation and tacit understanding, and they almost gave their answers in unison.
Taking a look at their numbers, even if they are divided into three distinct teams, there are quite a lot of people in a single team. It is obviously impossible for them to enter the waiting room with such a number. In this case...
I looked around and looked around but couldn't find a suitable place, so I simply thought of a way to keep these people as far away as possible in the open space, and then control the volume of the sound a little bit, thinking it would be fine.
—
"Mr. Li Chungang, we only have one question for you!"
"But it doesn't matter."
"Can your "Lord of the Rings" win glory for the country?"
"..."
Li Chungang said that MMP doesn't know if it should be said or not. I am just a novelist. Why did I suddenly go online and talk about winning glory for the country? What's more, there is no specific boundary for "winning glory for the country" , who knows how to win glory for the country.
Looking at Li Chungang who froze in place and frowned.
The reporter from Xinhua News Agency who asked this question was also a little uneasy. I really don't know whether this frown is a bit embarrassing because it is too difficult to win glory for the country, or the question itself is a bit embarrassing.
"I don't know what do you think is winning glory for the country?"
As soon as this remark came out, the deputy editor-in-chief of Xinhua News Agency was still deliberating on how to respond more appropriately, but the reporter from CCTV suddenly said behind him: "At the very least, we must break the curse of 'acclimatization'!"
"Xiao He, you..." The deputy editor-in-chief of Xinhua News Agency was about to berate the young reporter for his recklessness.
In the end, when he heard that the standard was simply to break the curse of acclimatization, Li Chungang subconsciously showed a relaxed smile and said, "If what you call the standard of winning honor for the country is to break the curse of acclimatization, I don't think you need to worry about it." Yes! Because the genre of The Lord of the Rings is Western fantasy, the core is a brand-new world of Dungeons and Dragons, and there are no cultural differences in these things!"
"Is that so..."
Hearing this, these media reporters breathed a sigh of relief, but after thinking about it for a while, they also felt that the question they asked was a little redundant. Maybe they didn't have much confidence in Li Chungang, a young author, but Random House is out of the question.
Chapter 539 The Weapon of the Literary Scholars
"Brother, I always feel that you look a little familiar. It seems to be that who... Hiss! That who is coming, I suddenly can't remember what I said."
"Hey! This is a bit uncomfortable."
"Husband, you must have misunderstood someone. How do you know someone who came back from New York, USA?"
"..."
This is a direct flight from New York, USA to Yanjing, China.
At this time, more than 90.00% of the seats in the economy class on this flight are Chinese people, and Li Chungang is one of them.
—
According to Lin Meng's idea, let Li Chungang stay in New York for one or two more days, then let his secretary Liu Siqian book a comfortable first-class ticket and then go back slowly, instead of being crowded with so many people in the narrow economy class .I don’t mean to look down on the economy class by saying this, but it’s out of consideration for Li Chungang’s personal safety. You must know that with the end of Random House’s global signing conference in the past few days, the word “Li Chungang” Reports can be said to be overwhelming all over the world.
The cover photo most used by media reporters is still Li Chungang turning his body at fifteen degrees, shaking hands with Caitlin, vice president of Random House with one hand, and holding the photo of signing the contract with the other.
In addition to the three words "Li Chungang", the new work "The Lord of the Rings" which is highly praised by Random House is the most anticipated.
in just a few days.
The "Most Anticipated List of Overseas Literary Works" in foreign countries has not even occupied a place in the original list, and it suddenly entered the list and soared to No.7.Some people may feel a little pity that they did not enter the top three, let alone top the list, but if you know what works are ranked in the top ten of this list, they will not think so.
And Caitlin's plan was quite effective.
At least because of the fact that Keppel Ron created contradictory and contradictory hype topics, and even gave Li Chungang and the others a feeling of explosive effect.
Just as there is Weibo in China, there is Twitter in foreign countries.
In fact, Li Chungang had never touched Twitter before, and the first contact was to complete the account registration with the help of Jiang Qingyu. At this time, there was only one follower in his account. The man is Keppel Ron this guy.
When he saw the content of the original text posted by Keppel Ron on Twitter, Li Chungang felt that the Associated Press reporter who asked the question at the scene was somewhat polite. You must know whether it is the words or the entire tone of this guy’s original text. The attitude can be called extremely bad, even...
Some of the words used are all insinuating their own racial discrimination!
For example, "Li Chungang, the clown, go back to Asia and eat bananas."
People who don’t know why it seems that it’s no big deal to go back to Asia to eat bananas, and they often eat bananas on weekdays, but if these people know that Asians or Chinese people in some overseas countries and regions will be called by racial discrimination people "Yellow monkey", perhaps these people will no longer think so!
But in the United States, a federal country where everything is about the word "freedom", the freedom of speech on the Internet is like a wild horse running wild, not to mention a single word in the many tweets sent by Keppel Ron There is no positive racial discrimination, even if there are people who don't raise officials and don't investigate, who has so much free time to take care of these shitty things, ZF officials can't wait to spend every minute and every second to curry favor with those capitalists to get more for themselves oil and water.
This is the "powerfulness" of literary authors.
Ordinary people use weapons to hurt others, but the weapon of literary authors is "words", using words can hurt people invisibly!
At the beginning, Li Chungang used his newly registered Twitter account to go to Kepel Ron's comments in resentment, wanting to "match up" with him in person, but unfortunately, he posted three times in three days, and the comments were all wrong There was no news like a stone sinking into the sea.
Only now did he realize what it was like for those readers to comment on his Weibo feed on weekdays.
"If there is nothing else, I will go home first."
"Mr. Li Chungang, is there any place where our hospitality is not good enough that you are so anxious to return to China?"
"I have nothing to dissatisfy with eating and lodging in a five-star hotel, but after staying here for three or four days, I found that it is meaningless for me to stay here. I might as well go back to China."
"But……"
Jiang Qingyu felt a little embarrassed by Li Chungang's request, because Caitlin gave him an order to keep the other party in New York as much as possible. It has only been less than four days, so it may be a bit difficult to cross.Moreover, the last few days were the busiest time for Random House. Not only the people on Caitlin's side, but even the people on Oswald's side had to act because they felt threatened.
According to the results of Caitlin’s discussion with her subordinates, it is best for Li Chungang to stay in New York and continue to complete the creation of the next content of "Lord of the Rings", and then they can correct errors, review manuscripts, etc. as soon as the creation is completed. Work.
"Let me tell the truth, staying in New York is actually not convenient for me to create the follow-up content of "The Lord of the Rings". Some outlines and details, as well as various plot settings are all saved in my computer at home. Without them, it would be very difficult for me to rely on my memory alone, I don't care, I'm not worried that if I can't catch up with time..."
"Okay, then I'll report to President Caitlin first." Jiang Qingyu agreed with a bitter face.
Li Chungang has already talked about this, this level, he is a small editor of Random House, and he is the kind of intern, how dare he say anything, if he is annoyed, he ran to Caitlin to say a little bit My own fault, the opportunity to become a regular at the end of the internship period is probably "frozen"!
"Go ahead boldly, just say what I said!"
After speaking, Li Chungang patted Jiang Qingyu on the shoulder very caringly.
After Jiang Qingyu left his hotel room, he turned around and opened the laptop in front of him, and clicked on the game called "PUBG" and the Chinese name "Jedi Survival". One of the few pleasures I discovered during my time in the United States.
The main reason is that it is not like the game environment of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds in China, which is called a fight between gods and Ragnarok because of the plug-in. A rookie like him who is the leader of the game can only say that he has no game experience at all!On the contrary, it was only after he came to the United States that he realized that the game environment in foreign countries is very clean. The most important thing is that foreign players are still addicted to food, even at his level, they can play here with gusto.
