Chapter 535 The First Step

"What should I do if the system forces me to copy books ()" Find the latest chapter!

Neon Times reporter: "May I ask what Mr. Li Chungang thinks about the fact that the works of Chinese writers all failed to be published overseas? Do you think your work "Lord of the Rings" can break this curse? If it fails, will you consider it?" Continue to publish works overseas?"

As the saying goes: Don't slap someone in the face when you hit someone, and don't expose your faults when you curse!

But this reporter from Neon Sun, a neighbor of Huaguo, showed his quality three times when he opened his mouth, and one question was more "shrimp and pig heart" than the other. Anyone with an IQ above the line can hear the words of the other party. The sarcasm that could not be concealed was almost impossible to write "Your work will fail 100% when published overseas" directly on the face.

This was one of the things that the Random House staff once reminded him to pay attention to when he was in the backcourt.

The media reporters who have a good cooperative relationship with Random House have been notified in advance, and when they ask questions, they will not make the scene too ugly and let the main owners of the press conference come down. These "knowledgeable" people, this is not...

The host looked at the Asian face of the Neon Times reporter and mistook it for a media reporter from China. For foreigners, Asian faces are somewhat "face-blind". It was for this reason that he picked this one out of the crowd, but it was self-defeating.

The Japanese reporter who finished asking three questions quickly sat down again resolutely, hiding his merits and fame among the many media reporters, and the brilliance of a successful scheme flashed in his eyes under the glasses.

"..."

Caitlin stared at the Neon Country reporter who had just sat down and seemed to be about 1.6 meters tall, frowning and staring in that direction with displeasure, and silently put the name of this media on the blacklist in her heart , next time there is a similar occasion, don't imagine that it will appear!

Ordinary young authors may be really stumped when faced with such tricky questions, but for Li Chungang, the only word in his heart is "this".

"The three questions asked by this reporter are actually no different from one question to me. I want to say that the so-called literary works do not have the two concepts of success and failure. Some works have sold over 100 million worldwide. There are both, so if there is a work that sells tens of millions, is it considered a failure? Some works may only sell a few million worldwide, but if there is a work that sells tens of millions, is it considered a success?

Neither in my opinion!

As long as the works can be recognized and liked by readers, no matter how many or small the number is, I will continue to create. "

"Papa papa--"

Although Li Chungang's answer was a bit inconsistent with what the media reporters wanted most, it perfectly embodies the integrity of a literary scholar, which naturally won a round of applause.

Only the reporter from the Neon Country who thought he had succeeded in his scheme had an ugly face sitting on the seat. He didn't expect that the "quality three times" that he had been brewing for a long time was actually solved by the other party with a simple sentence. , and this answer not only contains the philosophy of literature, but also does not make people sound like they are timid.

For a young man who is only 22 years old, you can ask for better than this!

“Nice!!!”

If it weren't for the wrong occasion and my status as the host, the host at this time would definitely have to shout "Nice" for Li Chungang's well-founded reaction to the reporter's questioning session at the global signing conference. Of course, now secretly It's okay to shout a few times from the bottom of my heart, because the performance of the other party is indeed commendable.

To know......

Don't look at the fact that the host explained that media reporters can ask questions to Li Chungang and Caitlin before entering the "reporter's questioning session", but from the very beginning, almost most of the media reporters focused on today's On the body of the master Li Chungang,

And all those who would ask Caitlin were media reporters who had a cooperative relationship.

The questions asked are not much different from some ordinary public relations questions.

It’s not that Caitlin doesn’t have any “big news” worth digging for the media reporters. Let’s not talk too much, but let’s talk about why Keppel Ron, who was originally the main general under her, suddenly changed jobs to her arch-rival Austrian. Under Svid's command, it is very worthy of media reporters to dig deeper.

But the problem is that whether Keppel Ron is under Caitlin or under Oswald, he is maintaining a cooperative relationship with Penguin Random House. pot.

Taking another 10,000 steps back, even if it is the "competition" between the three vice presidents of Random House that is almost completely secret in the eyes of the media reporters, as long as the Random House does not admit it for a day, the media reporters will I dare not report this matter publicly for a day. As for those who dare to do so, they are either stunned young people who have just started their career as journalists, or they are determined not to be afraid of offending others.

After all-

The media reporters who are old-fashioned in these industries still chose to bully the weak and fear the hard from the heart!

In their view, compared with the vice president of Penguin Random House, the world's number one commercial publisher, Li Chungang, who is just a fledgling newcomer in the global literary circle, is not without burden and pressure.

It would be most accurate to describe this media reporter from the neon country as "one rat droppings ruined the whole pot of porridge".

The host glanced at the time on his wrist, and it was still a minute away from the reporter's questioning session at the end of their original process, but because he was disgusted by the media reporter in this neon country, he firmly believed that he would not It's only a minute away.

So when the media reporters below were still actively raising their hands and wanting to be honored to be watched, they announced calmly:

"This is the end of today's Random House global signing conference. Finally, I would like to thank all the media reporters for coming, thank you!"

After saying that, he took the lead and bowed slightly towards the audience.

And Li Chungang and Caitlin, who were a step later, also got up from their seats, bowed slightly to the audience in the same manner, and then turned and went backstage without looking back.

For them, today's signing conference, which invited journalists from most countries and regions around the world, has actually been successfully completed. The desired effect has also been achieved, and the message they want to convey to the outside world has also been conveyed. It's here, and even the hype topic with Keppel Ron has been fulfilled.

That being the case, when will we wait if we don't end now?

Are you waiting for the next stupid [beep——] like a reporter from the Neon country media to stand up and make things difficult for yourself?
