Chapter 581: Icebreaker

At 9 o'clock in the morning, Shanghai has already begun to be filled with the atmosphere of life, with endless crowds, busy roads, and girls in cool clothes that are never lacking on the roads.

The signing event has not yet officially started, but there are already many people gathered outside the venue, but most of them are East Asians with black hair, black eyes and yellow skin!

"Jason, I should be wandering around Shanghai, the charming oriental pearl, so early. What if I meet Yanfu, brother."

Johnson, with a video camera hanging around his neck, was a little dissatisfied. Both of them were reporters for the "Global Literary World" magazine.

As a magazine focusing on the world, "Global Literary World" naturally has a large number of reporters from all over the world in its magazine. Jobs in a country or a certain region.

I don't know if God is joking, Jason and Johnson not only have a "Sen" in their names, but also entered this magazine as an intern reporter at the same time. During the internship period, the two of them disagreed with each other and disliked each other. It was just that they were busy showing their abilities at that time and hoped that they could become regulars and stay. Long, these two people seem to have a bad relationship in the previous life, and they can't do everything without each other.

Even being an appointed reporter for the Asian region of "Global Literary World" magazine at the same time is no exception!

Fortunately, being an appointed reporter in the Asian region does not mean that the daily office location also needs to go there. They still work in Washington, the United States of the magazine.

Every time there is a major event in the literary world in Asia, they will arrive at the first time, and after completing the information collection, they will send back first-hand news to the magazine, such as a new work by a certain writer who has become famous, including but not It is limited to the evaluation of the work, a brief description of the content, reader feedback, etc.

But I am ashamed to say that there has not been any "news" worthy of their follow-up and reporting in the Huaguo literary world for several years.

If you insist on mentioning "Zhichun Zhigang", Jason and Johnson have also known this person, but compared with his brilliant achievements in online literature, his achievements in literature may be quite different Far away, even the Seven Star Literature Cup is not taken seriously because it is a college student cup competition, but online literature is not recognized by the world's literary world as mainstream literature, and this can understand why.

But this year is different, it can even be said to be completely different!

Since Li Chungang's new work "The Lord of the Rings" cooperated with Random House, it completely detonated the world as soon as it was released, and it was also the kind of double detonation in sales and word of mouth. After a few days, it seems that many readers have joined the discussion. The content in this book comes from the army, among them there are many well-known writers in the global literary world, and this time Random House and Huaguo No.

There must be many journalists and media from home and abroad present.

Journalists and media from the same country belong to the kind of people who look down and see each other in China. After going abroad, they naturally hug each other to keep warm and share news from time to time.

And in order to satisfy Li Chungang, or to meet the requirements of Wensiquanyong Company, this time the signing event is not just a signing event, because the general signing event is not held at the entrance like a ceremony or a party There must be something new in laying out the long red carpet.

Jason pointed to the red carpet at the entrance of the venue and said, "Do you know why the red carpet is arranged for the autograph signing? That's not the autograph of Li Chungang's "Lord of the Rings"!"

"How is Li Chungang's global popularity different from those Hollywood stars? Since he is a star, it is not normal for him to walk on the red carpet."

Johnson didn't think there was anything to make a fuss about. As magazine reporters who closely follow the global literary world, they knew better than anyone how much waves "The Lord of the Rings" caused after its global release. As the author of this book, How popular is Li Chungang? If you compare it with Hollywood stars, he is also at the top level of superstars.

"I don't think things are that simple. Look at the poster in the distance, is it a little different!"

Jason took out the camera and focused on the different poster in the distance to take a few shots, then walked forward. He planned to take a closer look and listen to what these people were talking about.

If possible, he also wants to buy a book to sign, which is much better than buying some Shanghai souvenirs!

Thinking of the extent to which his son was obsessed with "The Lord of the Rings" before Huaguo, and even the originally stiff relationship between the father and son gradually eased because they found a common topic of discussion in this book, Jason could not bear it. I can't help being happy from the bottom of my heart, if I bring a signed new book back to my son, that kid will definitely go crazy with joy.

But what Jason is worried about is that there is no English version here. If it is all in Chinese, his son may not be able to understand it, right?

After Johnson was reminded like this, he also found himself asking a stupid question.

"It's really unbelievable to say it! A fantasy work written by a Chinese can actually sell well all over the world. The most important thing is that he is so young. According to the information, he is only 22 years old. This is the idea that news headlines can cut into."

For the same thing, if you add a different title to it, there will be a big difference in the number of clicks, otherwise there would not be so many title parties born.

And the most famous headline party in China is the rumored "UC Shock Department".

"Li Chungang Shanghai Signing Event is Hot" and "Icebreaker Action! Li Chungang, a Chinese writer who is only 22 years old, has won countless world records! "

It is self-evident which of these two news headlines is more attractive to consumers.

Li Chungang's name is now well-known all over the world. It is no exaggeration to say that it is comparable to some world-renowned Hollywood stars, and the "Lord of the Rings" signing event may attract more reporters than readers!

As the time drew near, more and more readers gathered outside the signing event, quietly waiting for the signing event to start.

And many passers-by also wanted to join in the fun after seeing the crowds here.

Watching the excitement is the nature of the whole human being, not unique to a certain nation.

"Dude, what are you doing here?"

"What are you looking at, what's going on over there?"

"There is a red carpet outside the venue. Is this the rhythm of big stars coming?"

"Or let's go and join in the fun."

"I suspect that you are a caveman who just came down from the top of the mountain, and you don't even know about the signing event of the Great God Chungang!"

At the same time, the crew members of "Sword Come" who had been disbanded for a while quietly gathered in Shanghai at the same time.

Hu Ge, Huang Yuan, Tan Songyun and the three leading actors even stayed in the same hotel at the same time...
