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

The Ellen Show recording is still in progress...

"Cough cough!"

"Cough cough cough!!"

"Cough cough cough cough!!!"

Allen and Li Chungang were trying their best to drive the effect of the whole program, but suddenly there was a cough from the recording assistant director Jackson that sounded extremely "stern". Coughing is something important and I have to communicate with myself, but the show is just being recorded, so at this time, we need to use the various emergency plans they agreed on before.

"1"

Watching Jackson raise his left hand above his head and raise his index finger while communicating with the film director on the sidelines is indicative of something.

In order to make his expression look more natural, Alan paid attention to Jackson almost from the corner of his eyes throughout the whole process, and more focus was on the invited guest Li Chungang. After seeing the gesture of raising his head She understood it by heart, which meant that "Emergency Plan No. 1" would be used later. At the same time, her naturally hanging left hand also quietly stretched out an index finger to compare a number "1".

The so-called "Emergency Plan No. [-]": It refers to a plan that needs to be communicated with the host Alan in case of an emergency during the recording of the program, and it is carried out under the condition that the recording process cannot be interrupted.The specific thing is that next Alan will ask the invited guests a question, and then at this time the shooting director will give the entire shot to the invited guests at the first time, and at this time Alan, who has the opportunity to leave the country temporarily, can talk to the program crew Communicate briefly and quickly.

At this time, the advantages of a mature and well-coordinated team are fully reflected.

For the entire No. [-] emergency plan, the focus is on the question that can be said to divert attention. If the question is too simple, it will not be effective. The host, Alan is the top priority!

Obviously, this question is not difficult for Allen, who has rich hosting experience.

After receiving the order from the assistant director Jackson, all the program staff present understood the "signal" and were tense and ready to cooperate with Allen's next step—

"I believe that those who have read the book "The Lord of the Rings" are as curious as I am about the elven language and various elven poetry that appear in the book. How about asking you, the original author, to recite a passage of elven poetry for everyone?"

"Nice!", "That's a good question!", "Great!"...

Allen's question couldn't be more perfect. First of all, the question itself is the "elven text" that many readers are very interested in and concerned about, and then the request for Li Chungang to recite a paragraph by himself is justified by the photographer. An excellent opportunity for a human being, this move is really flawless and consummate.

After hearing this request, Li Chungang thought to himself that fortunately, the young master had expected this kind of thing to happen, and he was already familiar with Elvish prose hundreds of years ago. Naturally, simply reciting an Elven poem would not be difficult for him.

Since it was purely for "showing off skills", he didn't show politeness to the audience and the program staff, and directly chose one of his favorite and most difficult elven poems in the book to recite...

Taking advantage of the gap where the camera was all focused on Li Chungang, Allen took a few steps back very naturally, and the assistant director Jackson, who had been waiting there for a long time, stepped forward non-stop, and kept his voice down in Allen's ear. Lips open and close, "%￥#&*@@#￥%..."

What was said in detail, probably only two people know.

O! Wanderers in the shadowed land

Depair not! For though dark they stand

all woods there be must end at last,

……

For east or west all woods must fail...

The whole process was completed seamlessly. At the moment when the last music of Li Chungang's elven poetry recitation fell, Allen had returned to his place as if nothing had happened. If he hadn't paid attention to it during the whole process, he would probably have noticed it It wasn't until the time just now that she had left, even Li Chungang didn't notice it at all.

clap clap clap-

The author's original elvish poetry recitation won the audience's love, but unfortunately, the place is wrong. Most of the people who come to the supermarket are housewives and children. Only readers who really like "Lord of the Rings" accounted for a very small part.

"Although I am also very reluctant to part with this talented young man, but the next question is the last question of this episode."

"I'm also very reluctant to part with you, Alan. Since it's the last question, you can ask it anyway."

It doesn't matter whether the other party's reluctance is real or fake, since he has said so, Li Chungang still has to respond out of politeness or politeness.

"Then how about talking about your new book? For example, the title of the book, some ideas, etc..."

Jing Ke stabs the King of Qin, and sees him with a poor dagger.

This is exactly the news that the assistant director Jackson tried his best to tell Allen, and it is also the latest news reported by the news media, that is, when Li Chungang was at the airport, he revealed that his new book plan will be a work of suspense and reasoning. This is the perfect gimmick to attract the audience at the end of this Ellen Show!

After Jackson got the news, he quickly realized that the topic of "new book" was likely to become a hot topic in Millican.

That being the case, they, Ai Lunxiu, naturally had to keep up with the heat of the topic, and take advantage of the fact that the person involved was right in front of them.

"..."

Li Chungang didn't expect that Allen's last question would actually be asked on his new book.To be honest, he has not yet fully decided whether to disclose more information about the new book to the outside world. He originally planned to negotiate a specific cooperation agreement with Random House. After signing the contract, he will formulate a series of preliminary publicity plans , I didn't expect that the plan could not keep up with the changes. Ever since I set foot on the land of Millikin, I have never escaped from the topic of new books.

The most typical way of publicity is "hunger marketing". By disclosing some information about the new book "The Da Vinci Code" bit by bit, while maintaining the enthusiasm of book fans around the world for this book, we can further promote it. Provide readers with the desire to buy.

But special issues are dealt with specially, and he actually has his own plans for the new book "The Da Vinci Code".

Because the word count and length are not as grand and huge as "The Lord of the Rings", he is not going to engage in those bells and whistles. After this trip to Millikin is over and he returns home smoothly, he will retreat to the content of the book as soon as possible. Write it out, and then hand it over to Random House to publish it globally in the shortest possible time.

Think of it...

His thoughts became clear, and he stopped thinking about it, and simply announced to the camera of the show: "As Allen said, I do have a plan for a new book, and the genre is suspense reasoning. Some ideas in the book In other words... I can only say that the content of this book will absolutely subvert the thinking of everyone in the world! Those who like it will regard it as a classic, and those who hate it will step on the bottom of the mud. As for the title of the book, please let me keep one last You will know the suspense when it is published and released, thank you everyone!"

"Cut!"

After the on-site director yelled such a sentence, Allen said to the surrounding customers with a loudspeaker: "I'm sorry to disturb everyone, and I hope you have a happy shopping next time!"

As expected of a top host, she has a very high emotional intelligence and is a good person.

Li Chungang also waved his thanks to the passers-by who used their mobile phones to record the video. Anyway, at least they will help spread it on the Internet to increase the popularity.

Gudong Gudong drank two or three sips of water, Allen smiled and said, "Is this really your first time recording a talk show? The performance is really great, and it doesn't look like it at all."

"I have participated in the recording of other programs in China, but this is the first time for this kind of talk show to meet the audience directly. Thank you for allowing me to experience this novel feeling."

"Maybe you can come to our show more often, this is not a courtesy, I mean it."

People with enthusiasm are of course welcome. If Li Chungang is not famous enough, no matter how good the recording performance is, it will not help.

Faced with Allen's invitation, Li Chungang readily accepted: "As long as I'm not in class, I will definitely come!"

It's not up to him to decide when to start class, and now it's completely fine to verbally agree to write a bad check.

"Our recording today is over, and this episode will be broadcast in five days." The director on site said, and the rest of the staff had already started packing their tools.

And Ellen's task has not been completed yet, one of her personalities is to be close to the people, since she came to the store, the audience who took a photo with her could not refuse.

After Li Chungang said goodbye to the rest of the program staff including the assistant director Jackson, he went to the outside of the arena where He Miao, Zhong Guo and others were quietly waiting to watch, preparing to leave the supermarket together, and then headed towards Random House's downtown bookstore is ready to go.

As everyone knows, after he told the news of the new book to the recording camera of the show, Thompson, who was originally staying on the sidelines, had already become an ant on the hot pot, extremely anxious!

If it hadn't been for the thought that it was still the recording site of the Allen Show, he would have rushed into the venue immediately, grabbing Li Chungang and inquiring about the new book carefully.

Because in Thompson's view, Random House is the co-publisher of Li Chungang's works worldwide, and he, Thompson, is the one who has the closest relationship with each other in the whole Random House, but the news that Li Chungang plans to have a new book is that they are The last one to know, this is not only a great shame, but also a serious dereliction of duty!

But no matter how anxious he is in his heart, Thompson always warns himself not to show the slightest clue in front of outsiders. Can wait until everyone returns to the car.

If other publishers see even the slightest clue, Random House is completely ignorant of the news that a world-class best-selling author like Li Chungang has a new book, and I am afraid it will send a very bad "signal" to other competitors: That is, the relationship between Random House and Li Chungang is not monolithic.

In other words, as long as they swing their hoes well, they may not be able to dig the corner of the wall down.

Although the recording of the Ellen show has just ended, these housewives who go shopping in the supermarket do not know or do not know, unless one day he can write a women's book, then he will instantly have a large number of Millikin aunts pink!

"Just now you performed very well, confident, cheerful, and humorous. I believe many fans will be surprised by such an author." Thompson gave a thumbs up and praised. The name will be recognized by more American people, and the sales of "Lord of the Rings" can increase a little bit.

"No matter how good my performance is, it's useless, I still have to work hard, after all, I have to rely on my work to speak!"

Li Chungang sees it very thoroughly. The writer is not a star idol. No matter how good the character design is, it will not attract people. You still have to read the work to speak confidently.

In fact, so many of his domestic works have not been translated into English, or they are not welcomed by foreign bookstores and readers after translation.

But the next book "The Da Vinci Code" should be able to completely reverse this situation. It's just that people with religious beliefs don't hate him when they finish reading their own work...

bang——

There was the sound of the car door being slammed shut.

Thompson, who was holding back all the way and full of problems, didn't bother to start the car. His fat body was more than half sideways on the driver's seat, and his head almost crossed the seat to Li Chungang who was sitting in the middle row. He asked eagerly, "Your next step?" A new book has already been written? Why didn’t you tell us? Are you worried about the conditions? You can rest assured that the conditions offered by Random House are definitely the best in the industry! The title of your new book is What? And how did you come up with the idea of ​​writing suspenseful reasoning novels?..."

This series of questions that did not intervene at all made Li Chungang a little confused by the questions, and he was stunned.

If it weren't for his English level being blessed by the system "111 million", I really can't understand the English with a little old American accent. The main reason is that he speaks too fast because of anxiety, and some grammar is not good Simplified because of colloquialism.

"Thompson, you don't need to be so anxious about the new book." Li Chungang decided to appease Thompson who was about to smoke first.

"Li, how can you not be in a hurry, if you have a new book, we can't even waste a minute!"

"I understand what you mean. It's mainly about my new book. It's just an idea that still exists in my mind. I haven't even written it yet. Aren't you afraid that the final thing you write will be a mess?"

"This……"

Li Chungang's emotional and reasonable words reached Thompson's heart at once, calming down his fiery heart.

Chapter 628

relieved.

I breathed a sigh of relief.

Thompson breathed a sigh of relief.

If the situation is really as Li Chungang said, if the so-called new book is still in the "idea" stage, then there is really no need to be too anxious and worried. Before the other party completes the new book, it is enough for Random House to understand some internal and pre-signed ideas. Under the cooperation agreement.

"Li... Then can you tell me some information about your new book, preferably something that others don't know about, so I really want to get more and better treatment for you from the company."

"I don't know if you know the painter Da Vinci?"

Li Chungang did not answer Thompson's question directly, but instead asked a plausible question that seemed irrelevant to the new book.

There are four people in this car. Thompson thought that everyone except himself should know about the new book; Zhong Guo thought that besides the author Li Chungang, the proprietress He Miao should also know about the new book...

He Miao:? ? ?

He Miao said that she was no less curious about Li Chungang's new book than the two of you at this time, and she was sure that the idea of ​​this new book must have suddenly appeared after their trip, if she hadn't been clear about it before they left.

Including the yet-to-be-published "Lord of the Mysteries", Li Chungang's unpublished new books will generally be shown to her, and they will communicate with each other whether there is anything that needs to be revised.

This is one of the benefits of finding a peer as the other half.

From time to time in the creation, we can communicate with each other, learn from each other, and make progress with each other!

"Of course I know Da Vinci, but I don't know if the Da Vinci I know is the same person as the Da Vinci you mentioned! If the Da Vinci you are talking about is the one that modern scholars call him 'the most perfect Renaissance man' He is the only all-rounder in human history, and his greatest achievement is painting. His masterpieces such as "Mona Lisa" and "The Last Supper" reflect the superb artistic attainments of the post-Renaissance three Jay one of...

Then I must know it, but the other party doesn't know me. "

Perhaps in order to ease the atmosphere in the car, Thompson, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, actually used humor for the first time, but unfortunately the effect was not very good. You can see that there is no laughter in the car after talking.

"If you know me, it will be much easier for me to talk about it." Li Chungang just started, and the three people in the whole car showed a listening attitude, "Speaking of which, the inspiration for this new book comes from my flight to New Zealand. I saw a piece of news about Da Vinci's work being sold for a sky-high price."

"Isn't it normal for Da Vinci's works to be sold for sky-high prices? What does this have to do with new books?"

To be honest, Thompson is beginning to have more and more potential to be a "popular fan", and he can naturally take over Li Chungang's words.

"It has nothing to do with Da Vinci's work being sold for a sky-high price, but it has a lot to do with Da Vinci and the works he created, and about the idea of ​​this suspenseful mystery novel..."

At this point, he deliberately stopped abruptly, but suddenly asked a question that seemed to have nothing to do with the new book, "Thompson, do you believe in religion? Are you a believer?"

While concentrating on driving, Thompson, who must carefully listen to every word and every sentence in his head without being distracted, was completely confused by Li Chungang's jumping off questions one after another. He couldn't understand what was revealed between these questions. However, he still answered Li Chungang's question honestly: "I am an atheist, but there are people in my family who believe in religion."

"I don't care about others. If you are not, I can tell you a little bit about my conception of this book. In this case, I will not continue to make jokes. The title of the book is "The Da Vinci Code". I believe you Just from the title of this book and my previous question, I already have a rough guess.” Li Chungang took a deep breath and directly announced the answer to the riddle that everyone wanted to know the most:

"As I said before, part of the suspenseful reasoning content of this book revolves around Da Vinci's works, and the follow-up will involve a lot of content about religious beliefs and other issues. I'm not afraid to tell Thompson you , some of the content in it is likely to subvert the cognition of most people, and may even be called deviant! I don’t know if you Random House will continue to cooperate in publishing my new book when I say this.”

"dare!"

Although Thompson's heart was already turbulent because of the other party's words at this time, his reaction was still in place. At least the answer was categorical within a second. It would be better if there was no further explanation, "But I People in the company speak lightly, and the final decision can only be made after reading the contents of this book.”

"Should I say it or not? Fortunately, we have already been to the Vatican, which is called the Holy Land. Otherwise, I am worried that I will be blacklisted by others after my book is published." Li Chungang half-joking Seriously.

It was said that Thompson seemed to have a million-word grass-mud horse galloping past in his heart at this time.

Originally, in his opinion, the content of Li Chungang's new book was at most a little bit critical of religious beliefs. This is not only not a big deal in the United States, which flaunts freedom of speech. There is a great market, and there are many writers who write books critical of religious beliefs around the world, but those who can be blacklisted by the Vatican...have never heard of it.

But now Li Chungang may be blacklisted by the Vatican because of the contents of the new book.

If the conceptual equivalent is changed, is it understood that the degree is not only the degree of criticizing religious beliefs! ?

If Thompson were to measure his heartbeat at this time, he would definitely be able to see that the electrocardiogram is like riding a roller coaster, going up to the old high all of a sudden, and then falling to the bottom all of a sudden, which shows how intense the ups and downs of the mood are.

"I have one last question."

"The new book should be an overhead world, it doesn't really exist, right?"

"That's natural!"

"It's an overhead world, you should have said it earlier, it made me very nervous!"

If it weren't for Li Chungang, a cash cow that is so powerful, Thompson would have wanted this young man to experience the power of the old version of Wang Baquan, so that the other party would know that he had learned Sanda for several years at least.

Not to mention Thompson, even He Miao couldn't hold back and quietly stretched out her small hand to pinch Li Chungang's soft waist, and gave him a "Wait, wait until there is no one to clean you up." ", but it's hard to say who will clean up who in the end.
