I am used to domestic supermarkets, and I can't do it without a little shock when I first came to such an empty warehouse.

A forklift is required to place the goods between a shelf, including nuts, nutritional products, and household products.

The most attractive thing is the staff holding the tasting plate. The sausages cut into small pieces are inserted with a toothpick. Passing customers can use them to taste them at will. If they find them delicious, put them in the shopping cart.

If one day you are unable to afford to eat, you must apply for a membership card for this supermarket, because there are too many types of tastings and various drinks, so you can’t be hungry at all!

Although he really wanted to try it, considering that the makeup artist's work cannot be wasted, I should wait until the shooting is completed before talking.

The neatly arranged "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy set by the supermarket staff was a square hill, and even the words "Magic Middle-earth World/Special Offer" were written on it.

The shelves next to the Lord of the Rings are filled with other works by Zhang Chu, "Detective Sherlock", "Pi's Fantasy Drift", and "Da Vinci Code" each occupy one-third of the space!

Zhang Chu opened his mouth wide. Even in his own Hanlinxuan Bookstore, he did not enjoy such serious treatment. He only had a few books!

"Does everyone's books have such a large space to place, or do they specially clear the program recording effect?"

After hearing this question, Blair replied: "It shouldn't be intentional. Look at the books of the rest of the previous ones, it's all like this."

About two meters away is another hill made of books, which is a book published by Michelle Obama, the former first lady of the United States.

Just put Michelle's photo on the hill, and that's enough to attract customers!

Michelle is more famous than books, but Zhang Chu is just the opposite. The author is far less popular than the works he wrote.

Senior book lovers and fans will certainly know his name, but ordinary people will not know anything at all.

"It's better to have a big land and a wealth of materials. This supermarket is too big and has a big area and willfulness. It can be so wide for a book to be put on."

He wanted to go shopping in the mall, but the shooting was ready, the furry radio was raised high, and the cameraman was sitting in the car on the track to see which angle the shot was more effective.

Such a big posture made the group of customers very excited. They seemed to have forgotten the shopping incident and focused all their attention on the crew.

“3,2,1,ation!”

Accompanied by the voice of the live director, Allen appeared in front of the camera.

I looked very tired just now, but now I seem to be a hundred times more energetic!

"Hi, everyone, I am your good friend Alan. Today, a special guest came to our show. You may not know his name, but you must have heard of his books. He is Zhang Chu, the author of "The Da Vinci Code" and "The Lord of the Rings", welcome!"

He was obviously three steps away. After hearing this, Zhang Chu stepped into the camera. He hugged Allen and said, "Thank you for your invitation. I'm very happy to be on the Allen Show!"

"Wow!" Allen pretended to be the first time meeting, "You are too young!"

This exaggerated acting looks particularly funny, and it also expresses the audience's voice.

Zhang Chu is not old, and Asians generally seem to be skilled in maintaining beauty, so he looks younger than many American high school students.

"It's not my fault for being young, for example, you can praise me for being handsome."

Allen grinned, "This is our guests today. Perhaps some viewers don't know, but Zhang Chu's works have always been the champion of the New York Times bestseller rankings this year. I want to ask you any secrets?"

"The secret is probably to sit down, write a book, publish it, and then win the championship." Zhang Chu also knows how to entertain, with a tone that is so simple that it cannot be simpler.

"So relaxed? It seems that I must be sitting down in the wrong position."

"Very likely."

Alan and Zhang Chu walked forward side by side slowly, walking and chatting in the supermarket.

"By the way, I heard that you won the Best Screenwriter Award at the Cannes Film Festival some time ago. This is amazing. I really wish I could be as good as you."

Zhang Chu spread his hands and said, "Thank you, but Alan, you are already very outstanding. You are the best host in the United States. None of them, you performed very well at the Oscars this year!"

These links are actually helping Zhang Chu praise him, and Zhang Chu also understands the importance of business mutual bragging, so he must hold him together.

Everyone will like Rainbow Farts, and Allen is no exception. Even if he is praised for so many things.

She did not mention in the show that Zhang Chu's work "Ghost Blows Out the Light" is being released. It is because the screening of this work in North America is coming to an end, and the focus is on promoting "The Lord of the Rings"!

This is why Random House and Universal Pictures pushed him to the Allen Show.

"Look, what I found!"

Allen pointed to the books piled up like hills in front, and then picked up a set from the top, "oh, it's quite heavy, it only costs $79, do you want to buy one?"

Books in the United States are usually very expensive, and the like is a little cheaper, and textbooks are the most expensive.

Usually, hard books are first released, which is the so-called hardback book, which is generally priced at around twenty or thirty dollars. After almost a year, soft books will be released, which is the so-called paperback book, which will be about ten dollars cheaper.

Therefore, the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy is not expensive now at $79, which is already the result of the discount promotion!

"I have a lot of them at home, but Alan, do you have this book? We are friends. Shouldn't you buy a book to support my sales? Maybe you're just one book I can continue to be ranked No. 1 in the New York Times bestseller rankings."

Zhang Chu did not play according to the routine at all. Usually in this case, the guests would say that I would give you a set, or something, but he asked Allen to buy it, which made the director on the scene nod.

Allen shook his head, "But I think you can give me a set, why not sign me on the cover, I'm going to give it to Patrice as a gift."

"This is a good offer, Patris will definitely like this gift!"

There happened to be a blank table and chair in front of me, and a black signature pen on it. It was not a coincidence, but it was arranged in advance by the program team.

When Zhang Chu sat down and turned on the title page of the book to sign, Allen suddenly took out a red speaker: "We have Zhang Chu here!"

The customers who were blocked a little far away by the staff were now taking photos and videos with their mobile phones, screaming and shouting, even if they didn't know who Zhang Chu was.

Another camera lens is dedicated to shooting the onlookers. Some people even pulled the goods on the shelves next to them to the side just to be able to reach out to watch with their phone and head!

Allen actively mobilized these audiences and said, "In case you don't know him, I'll introduce you to you. He is the author of the Lord of the Rings series, and now he is going to sign your book here!"

When the staff members retreated to stop them, the supermarket customers didn't even care about their own shopping carts and rushed up one by one, like a wave of zombies attacking.

Zhang Chu and Allen were instantly surrounded. Fortunately, the staff were prepared and appropriately isolated the people who were so excited that they were speechless.

Logically speaking, those who like the "Lord of the Rings" series should be teenagers, but now all middle-aged women are coming here. Alan is truly a friend of women!

A middle-aged white woman stood in front of Zhang Chu with a cute little girl. Both mother and daughter were very excited. This was not because of Zhang Chu, but because of Alan next to her.

Zhang Chu asked the little girl softly, "Hi, what's your name?"

"Sophia."

The little girl's front teeth had fallen off. After saying her name, she hid behind her mother's legs and timidly poked her head out.

"Hello Sophia, do you like reading?"

"like."

"I guess you probably won't like this set of books at your age, but you can give it to your father and let him take you to the amusement park."

"OK"

The little guy was very shy and didn't dare to come out at all. In the end, her mother took the signature book over.

These works are not free, and you have to check out after you get them!

Zhang Chu thought that this was almost over, because he said that he only needed to edit about 10 minutes of content, but Alan took a copy of "The Lord of the Rings 3: Return of the King" from the side and placed it in front of him, and read it casually.

"Zhang Chu, what did you put in the book?"

Zhang Chu, who was originally signing his signature, turned his head and saw that the middle of the book was hollowed out, and a flat iron wine pot that was commonly found in film and television works was placed in it.

This link did not appear in the previous Taiwanese books!

"oh, mygod." Zhang Chu could only cooperate with the acting. At this moment, he felt that his acting skills were really embarrassing abroad.

Alan on the side was not very smart, and he smiled slightly: "What the hell, Zhang Chu, you can't do this! Are you at the age of legal drinking? Or do you have to drink to find inspiration by writing a book?"

After Zhang Chu was led by the way, he also laughed. There is no need to say anything about recording this, but what he wants is the most realistic and direct feeling.

"He signed a lot of names, so, you know, he needs some energy, and that's crazy!"

Standing in front of Zhang Chu was a white old man. After hearing Allen's words, he cooperated and said, "I can't live without alcohol when I was your age."

I don’t know whether this is an extra or a real consumer, but Zhang Chu was amused and laughed.

Allen also said to the camera seriously: "Sorry, I pretend that nothing has happened, okay?"

Zhang Chu signed the customers here, while Allen was making trouble, with all kinds of tricks emerging one after another. He even picked up the loudspeaker and began to read a short paragraph of book to the customers who could not come to the front.

This is probably a scene that the audience likes, and Zhang Chu cooperated very well.

Signing for sale here is just a small test. After signing more than 20 people, I stopped and went to the signing for sale in downtown Los Angeles later.

After all, almost all the people who visit supermarkets during this period are housewives, with very few young people, and they are not notified in advance.

“cut!”

After the director on the scene shouted this, Allen held the speaker and said to the customers around him: "I'm sorry to bother everyone, I hope everyone has a happy shopping!"

He is worthy of being a top host, with a very high emotional intelligence and a good person.

Zhang Chu also waved to the passers-by who recorded videos on his mobile phone. No matter what, at least they would help them to spread the news online to increase popularity.

Gudong Gudong took two sips of water, and Allen smiled and said, "Isn't it really the first time you've recorded a talk show? You've performed very well."

"I've participated in other shows, but this is the first time I've met the audience directly. Thank you for letting me experience this novel feeling."

"Maybe you can come to our show often, it's not polite, I mean it's true."

Of course, people with popularity are welcome. If Zhang Chu is not well-known enough, no matter how good the recording performance is, it will be useless.

Faced with Allen's invitation, Zhang Chu suddenly accepted: "As long as I'm not in class, I will definitely come here!"
