What should I do if the system forces me to copy books?

"God Chungang, I am your loyal fan!"

"Master Chungang, can you sign for me?"

"Mr. Li Chungang, can you accept our interview?"

"..."

If someone asks Li Chungang what it feels like to have thousands of people shouting loudly in front of you at the same time, he will definitely tell you that he doesn’t feel anything at all, because at the moment when these people speak up, there is only [beep——] The buzzing sound can be simply described as the buzzing of the brain, and it is impossible to tell what person is saying what.

But fortunately, he can be regarded as a seasoned veteran who has held many signings. Even though he was a little confused by the battle in front of him at this time, he quickly reacted and stretched out his hands to make a move. A downward virtual pressure action.

Sure enough, after seeing his action, most people still comprehended the meaning and chose to calm down. Even if they stood far away and didn't see clearly, they followed suit after finding that the rest of the people had quieted down. Quiet.

The airport pick-up hall suddenly went from being famous to quiet, just because of a simple action of this young man.

"First of all, I am very grateful to everyone for coming to the airport to welcome me. Thank you! So in order to repay everyone's enthusiasm, I will briefly answer a few questions from reporters and sign autographs for a small number of readers. In addition, I would like to say here One sentence: It doesn’t matter even if you don’t get my autographed readers now, you can find Director Vincent at the airport and leave your address and contact information. I will stay in Millikin for a while, and I promise you all Before that, I will definitely give the book signed by me to everyone!"

Yes, this is the best solution that Li Chungang can come up with at the moment. People don’t worry about being few but not being even. No matter how many books you sign, it will always cause unnecessary troubles and discussions. In this case, it is better to simply Just sign it for everyone.

It is obviously unrealistic to complete the signatures of these thousands of people in one day, but it is not too difficult to complete in a week.

And he also kind of "cut first and play later", he is worried whether Director Vincent will be willing after listening to it, but now he has already directly publicized it, and the airport will have to bite the bullet even if he doesn't want to. Deal with it.

It is not a small project to register contact information and addresses of thousands of people, and to collect books.

Fortunately, there may not be many other things at the airport, but there must be enough people!

Chapter 621 Happy Friday!

On the importance of "getting wisdom out of urgency" to a person:

Looking at Li Chungang at this time, it is clear.

It is precisely because of the "one-pot solution" method that he came up with in a hurry, the Los Angeles Airport, which was still a little chaotic, quickly became orderly, and the readers and fans who originally wanted to be pushed forward were no longer wasted. Anyway, they can I got the autographed book of the great god Chungang, it doesn't matter if it's earlier or later.

After dealing with the fans and readers, for the remaining small group of media reporters... the attitude does not mean a 180-degree change, but at least there is a [-]-[-]-degree change.

To him, readers and fans are his parents. They spend real money to buy the works he wrote and come to the airport to welcome him sincerely. This must be recognized no matter what; the media reporters are different. , They came to the airport just for first-hand news information, in other words, they want to get benefits from him, two completely opposite purposes, why do you want to give these people a good face?

Another point is that most of the journalists who can be media reporters are shameless, and the thickness of the skin can be equal to the thickness of the city wall. If you are a little more pleasant, you can climb the pole in minutes.

"Ahem~ I believe that everyone is educated and a quality person, and I also promise to send an autographed book to all the readers present, but I see that many readers and fans still write Anxious, maybe there is something urgent to deal with or a flight to catch. Besides, the time is limited and the number of books I can sign in is very limited. In this case, I suggest that everyone use the beauty of adulthood to let readers who can’t catch up with time go ahead first. Come on?"

"I love the author who thinks for the readers like this!"

"I'm not in a hurry. Are there any friends who need to leave in a hurry? I'll give you my place."

"It doesn't mean that Chungang's eyes are as bright as a torch, but our family is famous for its quality!"

"You don't have to thank me, please call me Lei... Oh, I forgot that you gringos can't understand Chinese memes. No thanks, im lilei!"

"Gifts of roses, hand a fragrance."

"..."

The readers who were not in a hurry in the front row began to turn sideways to give a little space to the readers in need who were not allowed in time. Although it looked a bit messy because of the large number of people, in fact, if you observe carefully, you will find that, It belongs to the kind that is orderly in chaos, and there is no phenomenon such as pushing and shoving or crowding.

It is precisely from these subtleties that it can be seen that Li Chungang still has a small status in the hearts of readers.

There are not many readers and fans who squeezed in through the gaps made by others with big bags on their backs. The eyes of fans looking at him are full of gratitude and admiration. It looks very inconvenient and is still at the bottom of the list. It seems that I will board the plane and leave Los Angeles soon. I am afraid that I will really miss the autographed book.

Some people may think that if you don't get the author's autograph, you can't get it, but it doesn't affect your reading anyway.

But for some people, this is a kind of regret that as long as you miss it, you will miss it for a lifetime, just like the first love you missed back then. Even now in retrospect, there are still endless regrets in your heart. that step...

Wouldn't the whole story called "Life" be different?

"Everyone's time is limited, so I don't think it's time to waste it. Let me briefly answer the questions from the media reporters, but first let me say that if your questions involve personal privacy, etc., I will refuse to answer them. One is that a media can only ask one question. Is there any friend who has already figured out what question to ask?"

"This!"

As soon as the words fell, someone in front of him immediately raised his right hand.

"Hi sir, which media are you from?"

"Hello, Mr. Li Chungang, I am a reporter from the New York Times."

After hearing that the other party reported that his family was a reporter from the New York Times, Li Chungang silently nodded his head in his heart as he recognized the other party. In addition, his eyesight was 5.1 in both left and right eyes, so close enough to see the work on the other party's chest. You can see the cards clearly, plus your own "Lord of the Rings" is still at the top of the New York Times' global best-selling book sales list.

Most importantly, if he remembers correctly, the New York Times has a good cooperative relationship with Random House, so that his status as a "Random House co-author" can ensure that the other party will not ask some questions. Too outrageous question, otherwise it will not only be me, everyone will not be able to step down.

"I would like to ask whether Mr. Li Chungang came to Millikin this time to promote his new book? Can you tell us a little bit about the next itinerary plan?"

After confirming the eyes, this New York Times reporter is indeed one of his own.

Judging from the questions asked, Li Chungang had to sigh secretly, don't be polite to yourself with such questions, just ask as many as you want.

Even if the other party asks two questions at once, it is obviously a violation of the principle that he just said one question for a media, but compared to the simple question that suits my heart, one or two is not very important.

For this trip abroad, New Zealand, which was excluded from the original plan, was to go on a vacation to relax and let go of oneself. The next time, Millikin, who came out temporarily, came for "running publicity" without bragging about it.

Continue to ramp up the promotion of "The Lord of the Rings", the filming with Universal Pictures, and even a little promotion if you can, the new book that currently only exists in your head-"The Da Vinci Code".

Since it's for publicity and expansion, there's no need to cover it up. It's better to announce it in advance. This can be regarded as a warm-up for the Ellen Show, Random House book signing and other activities. I think they should be don't mind.

There is just one thing that makes Li Chungang very curious...

How did the New York Times reporter in front of me know that he had an idea for a new book! ?Reasonably speaking, he wanted to write "The Da Vinci Code" or he made a temporary decision on the plane and unlocked the choice of his next work, or the other party guessed it based on some clues.

"Although I don't know where you got the news from, but the idea of ​​the new book is indeed already in place. As for the next itinerary, I can only tell you that I will participate in the Ellen Show and have a signing event with Random House , other things are inconvenient to disclose.”

"Thank you, Mr. Li Chungang."

"Okay, next one!"

Chapter 622

"here!"

"Mr. Li Chungang, can you tell us a little bit about the specific copyright price of the film copyright of "Lord of the Rings" and Universal Pictures? Can you tell us why you rejected Paramount and finally chose Universal Pictures? And what do you think..."

"Wait! This reporter, it was agreed that one person should have one question. You can only ask two or three questions in one breath. The time is limited. If you alone take up the time for two or three questions, then you will let the rest of your time." What about colleagues?"

Seeing that even the step of self-declaration is left, he started babbling several questions like Lianzhupao. If Li Chungang hadn't interrupted the other party in time, he would even have kept asking, and the questions were all messed up , and the specific copyright price, can such content involving contract details be disclosed to the outside world at will?

Not to mention this, the second question is outrageous as soon as it is uttered. This question seems to be a simple question and answer question, but no matter what the answer he says, it will completely hate one of the parties. Personally, he doesn't like to cooperate with Paramount, who is among the "pig teammates", but it doesn't mean that he has to offend the other party.

This is the reason why the ancestors often said that "disaster comes from the mouth".

Sure enough, Li Chungang's tactic of killing and beating immediately made this reporter, who was not quite sure of his identity, a target of criticism from other colleagues. If his gaze could cause harm to others, he would have already been hacked into pieces by now. up.

Fortunately, when I chose to be a reporter, I was already mentally prepared to become a competitor in the same industry, and this level of eye threat could not be deterred.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Li Chungang stopped procrastinating and replied: "The specific amount of the movie copyright price in cooperation with Universal Pictures cannot be disclosed to you because of the confidentiality agreement, but what I can tell you is that it will be released in August [-]." More than one digit. Alright, next one."

"Wait, Mr. Li, you haven't answered why I chose Universal over Paramount?"

It's just that this unsatisfied media reporter, no matter how much he jumps around, has already been treated as a transparent person. After shouting there for a long time, seeing that Li Chungang didn't even look straight at him, he stopped making fun of himself. Squeeze through the crowd and leave in desperation.Originally, seeing that the other party was young and wanted to create a topic between the two Hollywood giants, Paramount and Universal Pictures, he didn't expect to be fooled at all, and he didn't even answer this question.

"It's just that you think I can't do anything about you if you don't answer? Hehe~ I want to show you what it means to be an uncrowned king!"

The reporter who left returned to his car while thinking about how to fabricate the facts, for example, distorting Li Chungang's failure to answer the question through some textual "polish" to distort that the other party deliberately avoided this question because of a guilty conscience. And the so-called sky-high eight-figure film copyright fee is not without news. It can also create topics, such as whether the film copyright of "Lord of the Rings" is worth this price...

What their media needs is to throw out this issue, and leave the rest to the readers to argue for themselves.

……

One media reporter with ulterior motives left, and the rest of the media reporters have learned to be more or less obedient.

The question asked should be as news-breaking as possible, and at the same time, it will not touch Li Chungang's sensitive bottom line. Otherwise, if the other party refuses to answer this question, it means that he will not be able to get a single question.

I was asked several questions about the filming of "Lord of the Rings" -

Who do you think is the best male lead in The Lord of the Rings?

Who do you think is the most suitable director for The Lord of the Rings?

What are your box office expectations for The Lord of the Rings?

and many more……

Of course, these questions are relatively subjective, and Li Chungang did not hide them. He simply answered the other party from his personal perception and preferences, especially the question of the director who wants to shoot "The Lord of the Rings". He bluntly said that if If possible, I naturally hope that James Cameron can personally guide it. From the sci-fi masterpiece "Avatar", we can see that James Cameron is proficient in using movie special effects.

Unfortunately……

James Cameron, as a world-renowned international director, this schedule is no joke. Film companies that want to invite him to make movies can line up the entire Hollywood Walk of Fame, and only big productions can dare to do so. Those small budgets and small productions are embarrassed to waste the time of the big director!

Li Chungang didn't think about whether Universal Pictures invited him or not, whether the other party was willing to play the role, and whether the production budget was enough. He just talked about it according to his own preferences, and the media reporters also I can't tell the truth from reality, so I just record it like this.

While responding to the questions from the media reporters, he raised his left wrist slightly and looked at the time calmly.

"Go ahead!"

"Because of the limited travel time, I will answer the last reporter friend's question, and then I will start signing readers and friends, and I will say it again. If you are not in a hurry and have urgent matters, I hope you can choose Register contact information at the airport instead of waiting for me to sign it now, I hope everyone can understand!"

"Because of the limited travel time..."

Considering that there were quite a few foreign friends present, after speaking in Chinese, Li Chungang switched to English and recounted it again. Now the foreign friends who were still confused at first finally understood the situation on the scene. As locals, the common people of Miriam belong to the group of people who are not in a hurry or in a hurry and have nothing to do. Many people choose to give up their positions, which is the beauty of adults.

"Mr. Li Chungang, after the well-known reasoning writer Keppel Ron lost to you in the sales of new books, he bluntly stated in front of the media a few days ago that one of your works is reasoning and the other is fantasy. There is no comparison. This time is not considered to be a loss to you, and once again challenged you that suspense mystery novels will torture you to pieces!"

When Li Chungang answered the last question in person, a small number of media reporters who were not asked became anxious. Among them, one media reporter squeezed away his colleagues before waiting for the roll call and handed the recording pen to Li Chungang. Before and after, he asked the question he had planned for a long time with lightning speed.

After hearing this question, to be honest, Li Chungang's first reaction was to laugh, the corners of his mouth just rose, but the next second he thought that there were so many media reporters in front of him, he quickly controlled himself, and said seriously: " ..."

Chapter 623

Heaven's sins are forgivable, but self-inflicted sins cannot live!

Originally, for Keppel Ron, as long as readers all over the world use their brains, they know that "The Lost City of Time and Space" and "The Lord of the Rings" must be released on the same day. Glasses, many people in the circle thought it would be a story of ups and downs. On the first day... no, even the "suspense" was completely killed during the pre-sale, and "Lost in Time and Space" lost completely .

But personally, this book is indeed a rare masterpiece among suspense reasoning novels, and it is worthy of Keppel Ron's name as a famous reasoning writer.

To be honest, he still wants to thank Li Chungang instead. If it weren't for the direct fight with "The Lord of the Rings", "The Lost City" would naturally not be able to reach the current height. This is what Li Chungang and Caitlin did not expect at the beginning.The former is the first time to enter the international stage and lacks experience, while the latter still underestimates the charm of "Lord of the Rings".

The original plan was to borrow the fame of Keppel Ron, but it turned around just one day after its release, allowing "Lost in Time and Space" to borrow the wind of "Lord of the Rings".

If the matter ends here, it can be said to be a win-win situation for both Keppel Ron and Li Chungang, even though Keppel Ron once posted various things on Facebook. Terrible racist remarks, but time always takes it out, doesn't it?

At least Li Chungang, who is one of the parties and victims, would have almost completely forgotten about it, if the media reporter in front of him hadn't brought up the old story again.

Originally, Li Chungang didn't have other ideas when he decided that the new book was "The Da Vinci Code", but now that Keppel Ron, a wicked guy, actually sent his face to be beaten by himself, then he is not welcome!

"In China, there is an idiom called 'Winners lose bandits'. Here I want to give this idiom to Keppel Ron, who is the defeated opponent. In addition, since he has challenged me in suspense and reasoning novels... …

If he wants to fight, I will fight!It just so happens that my next new book is of the suspense reasoning type, and I hope that someone who loses again by then will stop making excuses! "

The voice just fell-

There was an uproar in the reception hall of the entire Los Angeles Airport, and the media reporters frantically moved the pens in their right hands to record the contents verbatim at the first time. What did they come to the airport to wait for a long time? Isn't it just digging out the first-hand news with "breaking points"? Most of the previous questions are a bit standard, but only the last question made them excited and shouted that the trip was worthwhile.

"Mr. Li Chungang, the author of "The Lord of the Rings", confronts the famous reasoning master Keppel Ron!"

"The author of "Lord of the Rings" personally admits that the next new book will be suspense reasoning type!"

"The first-hand information about the new works of the well-known writer Li Chungang is here."

"..."

In such an instant, media reporters have already started to quickly calculate headlines that are suitable enough to catch eyeballs in their minds. Don’t think that the headline party is a unique product in our country. One of the skills that practitioners are familiar with, but because a certain UC browser in China is more proficient in using this technique than its peers, it is nicknamed "UC Shock Department" by netizens.

And the readers and fans who still stayed in place expressed that they had received extra joy!

"Get the autograph of the author you like" has already met the most basic and most eager requirements of readers and fans during this trip. Nor will it include the idea of ​​learning about Li Chungang's new book.

Not surprisingly...

They are likely to be the first lucky ones in the world to hear about Li Chungang's new book!

In particular, there are many readers who are both fantasy fans and suspense reasoning fans. After hearing Li Chungang's announcement that the type of the next new book will be suspense reasoning, the whole body is as excited as if it has been electrified. I couldn't help trembling, wishing I could see this new book right away.

The media reporters who were able to stick to their professional ethics and agree to one question per person could no longer hold back at this moment. Anyway, with the lessons learned from the past, they would not appear so hated if they did so. Besides, the news of Li Chungang's sudden release of a new book made them feel like flies that smelled fishy.

In the face of headlines, work ethic doesn't matter anymore.

"Mr. Li Chungang, can you reveal a little more information about your new book?"
