Chapter 927 Passionate Readers
The beachfront Avenue surrounding Baker Bay has always been the most desirable place. It has the reputation of the Queen's necklace. The Avenue faces Napoleon Bay, like a crescent moon embedded on a beautiful beach.
Zhang Chu was light and was wearing nothing today. He was wearing a white shirt and waiting for the arrival of the train next to the whistle and breeze.
The cute-shaped tourist train in Cannes has a retro shape and is an important channel for visiting Cannes.
Movies have already started to be screened in the morning, but it seems that celebrities and reporters are not used to getting up early, and only a few tourists are taking photos everywhere.
After spending 10 euros to board the train, Zhang Chu found that each seat was equipped with a voice interpreter, including Chinese, which made him quite satisfied.
Put on sunglasses and took a selfie with Suke Ancient City as the background. He completed his travel check-in task.
There are not many people on the train, and everyone is not used to sitting next to strangers, so they are just happy and relaxed.
After a tour, I can easily understand the style and history of the entire city. The colorful exquisite shops, ancient buildings and flowers are integrated.
There are many people on the roadside with their cameras to take pictures of the small train passing by them. Before they knew it, Zhang Chu successfully entered the camera in other people's photos!
Movies are an unavoidable topic in Cannes. After a walk around, Zhang Chu still came to the Palace of Movies. He had the highest-level badge issued by the organizer and could enter any screening room.
“Which movie is good to watch?”
Zhang Chu was in a tangle. He had never known the competitors of "Farewell My Concubine" before, and he didn't know which one was more in line with his appetite.
Yesterday's magazine included various movie introductions. After checking it carefully, Zhang Chu decided to go to the premiere of the movie "Just the End of the World". Yesterday, Leya watched her movie, and today she will go and see her.
This movie tells the story of a gay writer returning to his hometown after wandering for many years. He is about to announce his death to his family.
For movies with the same lebt theme, "Farewell My Concubine" and "Just the End of the World" will inevitably be compared together. The director of the film behind is Cannes' darling, and the actors have a full French lineup. There will definitely be some bias in Cannes.
Zhang Chu planned to detect the enemy situation and see what the other party's movie was like!
But the premiere was held at 1:00 pm, and it is only 1:00 am now, and there are still two full hours left.
So Zhang Chu simply turned around and walked towards the street of food and boutiques, and he planned to fill his stomach first.
I had tasted dishes named after the movie at the Palme d'Or Restaurant. This time he was going to try it in Scala. These are restaurants highly recommended by Chinese and foreign netizens, and the taste should be pretty good.
Pudding stall eggs, salted dried cod and fish puree plus fresh vegetables, assorted stewed and braised beef with red wine. The flavors of these dishes are a bit heavy, adding a lot of spices such as thyme, rosemary, laurel, tarragon leaves, olive oil and other spices!
At this time, there were already many people in the restaurant. Zhang Chu sat alone by the window and tasted the food. He was holding his mobile phone in one hand and was checking the freshly released review of the "Lord of the Rings".
It has been two or three days since the release, and some readers who read books are relatively fast, and they can read the content of 200,000 to 300,000 words without leaving the day and night.
The number of ratings on Douban Reading’s page has gradually increased. So far, more than 10,000 people have reviewed them, but it is estimated that many people have reviewed them before seeing them.
The score is 10,000 people, and the current score is only 8.8, which is a relatively low score among Zhang Chu's works.
Zhang Chu himself was not particularly surprised, because he had already expected this situation when he chose this book. It was already a good thing to be able to stay above 8.5!
Because the overall rhythm is relatively slow, and there is a lot of content interspersed with it, such as poetry, lolita, independent stories and chronicles, as well as self-created language, etc.
"The Lord of the Rings" is not a narrative in the traditional sense, and the protagonist is still so weak. After this movie is finished, their journey has not been more than halfway through!
A netizen named Black Optical Drive gave "The Lord of the Rings" a five-star. He wrote: [Zhang Chu's layout ability is getting stronger and stronger! In the work of Lord of the Rings, the world he wrote is like a fog. At first you only know that Charles, Brie, Rivendell is limited to the shuttle between the locals, and then gradually Moria, Rohan, Gondor and other places are displayed in front of us one by one. From vaguely knowing the legend of the elves, to finally gradually knowing the history of the elves and humans and the story of the Lord of the Rings. This is consistent with our process of knowing the world, and he restored the process of our understanding of the world!]
Another netizen named Pharaoh I only had four stars: [I can understand that Zhang Chu wanted to create a new and complete world, with excellent foundation in history, geography, species, origin and language, but he forgot to readability! This book is very uncomfortable to read. Sometimes it is a long description of the scenery and environment, sometimes it is a character dialogue that lasts for several pages, and sometimes it is a poem that people don’t want to see. "The Lord of the Rings" is a good work, but it can only be viewed from a distance but not read from a close distance.]
[What does the Hobbit look like? Teacher Xiao Zhang should draw a picture for us to see.]
[Didn't Americans criticize this racism? It's all white, like a yellow man or a black man. Thanks for not having a black character in it. In that case, I'll really go crazy. Who would want to see black man in fantasy!]
[Although Frodo’s martial arts is not strong, he can withstand the temptation of the Lord of the Rings and bravely advance towards the Doomsday Volcano. This is a great departure!]
[Originally I wanted to play five stars, but Gandalf lost one star when he died.]
[It's indeed a trilogy. Is the first part halfway through? Shouldn't it be until the third part to arrive in Mordor?]
[After reading it, it is worthy of being Zhang Chu's work, and it has been improved again this time.]
Almost all of the first people to buy the book are his fans, and the comments given by these fans are almost all with a little filter and beautification. If they encounter a plot that they can't stand, most of them will choose to stay in a while and continue to watch.
Ordinary readers may choose to curse or keep it in mind, or even give up this work.
One of the comments really reminded him that Europe and the United States pay the most attention to human rights and political correctness. If someone talks about racial discrimination, it will be difficult to deal with.
There are almost no black people in the fantasy works. If you have to force one into it, it will be a complete destruction!
"I have to remind Blair to let them promote the history of fantasy works first. There were no black people in medieval Europe."
He wiped his mouth with a napkin, looked at the watch and asked the waiter to pay.
"Hello, sir, someone has already paid the order for you. This is the note left by that sir, let me pass it to you."
Zhang Chu frowned and was a little stunned. Someone actually paid the bill. Who could this be?
He doesn't have many acquaintances in Cannes. Could it be that he is from a certain film company?
With such speculation, Zhang Chu opened the note, and the content on it made him laugh and cry: "Zhang, I like your works very much, and I hope you can have a good time in Cannes."
Chapter completed!
