Chapter 911 The first person in the world

After hearing Blair's words, Zhang Chusiwei suddenly jumped to the song "Chinese" he handed over to Xiangnan Satellite TV.

I don’t know if the song has been recorded. If it is not adopted by the Chinese Bridge program team, then I will return it and give it to others.

It’s not a solution to drag it like this!

The goal of learning Chinese dialect in the whole world is a bit far away, and this kind of culture has always been closely related to the comprehensive national strength.

Only when a country is strong enough can its culture be accepted and learned by people from other countries.

Although Zhang Chu wrote several works, he was not so arrogant that he thought he could promote the globalization of Chinese. That was not something that one or two people could do!

"Hey, what do you think?" Blair raised the volume.

Zhang Chu, who came to his senses, looked at him blankly: "What? I didn't hear it clearly just now."

Blair was not dissatisfied with any dissatisfaction and repeated: "Jiu just entrusted you to me. He needs to discuss the screening with a Chinese film company."

"Farewell My Concubine" will be released this afternoon as the opening film of the Cannes Film Festival. In addition, "Ghost Blows Out the Light: The Ancient City of Jingjue" produced by Yida Pictures will also open a film viewing conference in the evening. Distributors from Europe, the United States and other places have received invitations.

Zhou Kang was busy with the movie "Ghost Blows Out the Light". He needed to help Zhang Chu determine his itinerary and the process of going on stage.

"I hope our signing will not be too deserted. Do you have emergency measures or something? If there are not enough people coming, please help find a few people to support you." Zhang Chu joked that he really didn't have much confidence in Cannes.

There are very few local residents on this island, most of which are because of the staff from the Cannes Film Festival, film industry figures, actors, media workers, film enthusiasts and some fans of celebrities. There are not many people who like to watch Zhang Chu's works among such people.

If it is a work like "The Da Vinci Code" that has been famous for a long time, readers should be quite considerable.

However, "The Lord of the Rings" is nameless, and no one knows what this book is written!

It has no readers, so it can only rely on Zhang Chu's popularity.

Therefore, Random Bookstore has printed words such as "The Da Vinci Code", "Sherlock", "The New Book of the Author of the Pi Fantasy Drifting", and "Fantasy Masterpiece" in the publicity. Try to express the previous works so that readers will have consciousness.

...

Cannes at 9:00 am already very noisy, and the cool-dressed pedestrians on the road seemed to be shooting fashion magazines.

There were many people gathered before the signing ceremony, but most of them were East Asians with black hair and black eyes!

"Lao Wang, you should have been shopping in Cannes so early. What if you meet any star?"

Xue Huiji, who had a camera hanging around her neck, was a little dissatisfied. They were both reporters from "Watching Movies" magazine.

Every year, they send first-hand news from Cannes to China, such as the viewing, evaluation, magazine ratings, live interesting stories, etc. of a movie.

This year, "Farewell My Concubine", which was shortlisted for the main competition unit, is regarded as a popular seed, so there are many domestic journalists and media.

They are the kind of people who bow their heads in China. After going abroad, they naturally gather together and share some news from time to time.

The opening ceremony was held in the afternoon, and there were usually not many celebrities coming out to have an event in the morning, so it was a bit hard for everyone to fly over.

The group of people thought the queue was too long and planned to come back later if there were fewer people.

Of course, Zhang Chu's signing meeting had to be more formal. He sorted out his white shirt. The front camera of his mobile phone showed a full sense of youth. It was not bad compared to the young idols of the British One-way band who were fascinated by girls around the world!

After enough narcissism, he walked out of the hotel gate and came down to the signing area dozens of meters away with bodyguards.

Perhaps it was the impact brought by different races, Zhang Chu felt that these two or three hundred people were like thousands of troops.

Readers raised their phones to take photos, and the reporters did not forget that they were taking photos while they were clicking.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t have a microphone. Zhang Chu said in English with great enthusiasm: “Hello, everyone, thank you for sacrificing your rest time to participate in the signing of the new book “The Lord of the Rings”. I hope you can enjoy this work.”

He didn't say much, but sat down quickly, otherwise the signature might last until noon.

These readers are very enthusiastic, some are those who are calling Zhang Chu's name in a straight voice, and some are vague but extremely high tone.

Ranked first is a middle-aged man with a bag on his back. He had already paid for a book in the temporary bookstore in Random Bookstore next to him, otherwise he would not have been in front of him!

"I especially like your book. Although it is in English, I will buy another Chinese version after I return to China."

The uncle looked very excited, and while talking, he took a selfie with Zhang Chu with his cell phone.

After signing the Chinese name, Zhang Chu raised his head and took a photo with the uncle. Although he did not like selfies, the readers' requirements were still as good as possible, so that they would not waste their hard waiting.

In the winding team, Wang Bo sent the photos he had just taken back to China on his mobile phone, which is the benefit of increasingly developed communication.

Before they got the signature book, they watched the official Weibo account of the movie and released this set of photos!

Everyone knows that today is the opening of the Cannes Film Festival, and many people are waiting for the red carpet look of various celebrities and the first batch of media comments from "Farewell My Concubine".

But I didn’t expect that the first report sent back from France was Zhang Chu’s signing party!

[On the afternoon of May 8th local time, Chinese writer Zhang Chu appeared in Cannes, France with the English version of his new book "The Lord of the Rings", and hundreds of readers were looking forward to it...]

Not only "Watching Movies", but other media also have people on site!

New.Lang Movie, New.Lang Entertainment, Phoenix.com, Tencent Video and CCTV-Movie Channel reporters have taken photos.

Even searched for the columns such as Fox Fashion, Phoenix Fashion, etc., and focused on Zhang Chu's outfits, and took all the shirts, pants, shoes, watches and hairstyles he wore.

This is just applying the style of stars to a writer!

At this time, it was already past five o'clock in the afternoon, and the Press and Publication Bureau, the General Administration, had updated the accurate number of book sales yesterday at around three o'clock in the afternoon.

The book sales on May 7 were originally dull, but Zhang Chu's new book "The Lord of the Rings" was sneaked away in different bookstores in major cities across the country.

In this way, everyone is very concerned about how many copies it can sell in just a few hours from the start of sneaking to being severely criticized and warned.

A data statistics agency gave an estimate of 35,000 copies, which is enough to rank tenth in the ranking list on that day!

So how many are there in fact?

The answer given by the General Administration of Press and Publication is 57,000 volumes!

At the same time, these penalties were also given to these bookstores.

When it was launched, it was reported and approved. Obviously, these bookstores have surpassed the market.

Originally, sneaking away happened from time to time. The Press and Publication Bureau almost never punished him, and he turned a blind eye to him.

However, this incident was a bit big and had an amazing influence. It was not just one or two, but it was sold on a large scale in more than 20 cities!

So CITIC Bookstore and other chain bookstores were killed to warn the monkeys!

This sneak-out number did not cause much trouble, because everyone is paying attention to how many things are really there on the first day of "The Lord of the Rings", which is the most critical thing.

Even if they were punished, CITIC Bookstore did not remove the Lord of the Rings. They were just in need of selling more books to make up for the losses.

The news about Zhang Chu has not stopped all day today. I wonder if those superstars can steal the attention from the red carpet to the broadcast of "Farewell My Concubine" in the evening.

"I actually opened the signing party to Cannes. I'm really brave!"

"It's not the Raptors but Jiang. Teacher Xiao Zhang is confident and it's the same wherever he signs."

"I envy those people who can watch so many movies, not only can I get the signature book of "The Lord of the Rings"!"

"It's amazing! Such a writer is the winner in life."

"Hahaha, I'll be here to attend the film festival and hold a signing party. It would be even better if I accidentally win another award."

"Strongly request @Nanhai Publishing Company to also sign sales conferences in the country, and you cannot favor one or the other!"

"No more say anything, likes are enough."

"There are so many foreigners, and there are many reporters watching videos. Is Zhang Chu so famous abroad?"

"It's not surprising that journalists are so many. During the Cannes Film Festival, half of the ten people on the road were journalists."

"The Lord of the Rings is strongly recommended! I really like this book, and I need to be patient and read it slowly."

"Awesome people, so many people don't attend film festivals anymore, and they actually queue up to buy books."

Netizens like this kind of news, and they want to do more!

They have heard more or less that Zhang Chu is very popular overseas before, but it basically stays on the web page and on the numbers, and is not as intuitive as it is now.

Now I only realize that what I said is true when I see the live video!

Zhang Chu is as popular overseas as China!

It seems that foreign readers also have vision and are not stupid enough.

In fact, as a topical figure who stirs up the city's storm, Zhang Chu also attracted much attention in Cannes!

Many company bosses and producers have turned their attention to this high-yield and high-quality writer. Although they don’t know what the story of "The Lord of the Rings" is, their adaptation value has been reflected.

"Sorry, my event is not over yet, and I guess you will ask you to wait a little longer. Let's talk about it during lunch, how about it?" Zhang Chu signed the pages and apologized to Vincent, the department manager of BNP Paribas, who had been waiting for a long time.
