Grandpa's great writer

Chapter 499 Awards stopped?
After the first issue of "Scholar" ended, it accounted for three hot searches.

The protagonist, Shen Jian, naturally became the biggest winner. At the same time, "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood" has also entered the sight of ordinary people. Many people who have not read books before are also looking for this book.

Who is not a cultural person!
For a while, many people went to the bookstore to buy a copy of "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood", whether they wanted to pretend or really loved literature.

During this time, many people bought the book out of their brains, and they may not read it later, but the atmosphere of reading is still up.

After a show becomes popular, some viewers will propose people they want to participate in the show.

Especially the fans of Xiaoxianrou, they like to cast their idols in the current popular shows.

But this time, the fresh meat fans died down. It seems that they also know that their idols are not suitable for this show, and this show really needs hard core skills.

If you don't have diamonds and don't do porcelain work, you are afraid that you will make yourself ugly instead of showing off.

What people didn't expect was that among the names of all the stars in the entertainment industry, Zhang Chong appeared. Because of the popularity of "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood", many people hope to see the author of the original work on the stage.

But for the time being, this can only be an extravagant hope, because everyone knows that it is really not easy for Zhang Zhong to participate in variety shows.

……

Wang Kang had just finished writing a gossip press release, and felt a little tired, so he was going to go online to see what hot news was happening recently. When he opened the website, he immediately saw the popular "Scholar" at a glance.

"Are the current audiences watching such high-end variety shows?" Wang Kang watched the video while scanning the comments below.

"Zhang Zhong... seems to be a writer? I see him all the time recently, why is he stronger than some celebrities. Let me search for him."

Out of curiosity, Wang Kang searched for Zhang Zhong. When he saw the photo on the encyclopedia, Wang Kang always felt that Zhang Zhong looked familiar. After thinking for a long time, he slapped his head, "Isn't this the guy who dragged him before? He turned out to be a Big celebrity!"

Wang Kang's mind froze, remembering that he was interviewed at that time, but the video of the interview...he hurried to find the photographer who went out with him last time.

……

"Boss, you have dominated the headlines these two days."

When Zhang Zhong and Affleck were standing on the edge of Jiaohu Island looking at the scenery, Chen Qing said with a smile on his mobile phone, "You can even get news when you go to an art exhibition, and the video of your interview has also been released, and someone will help you Formed a team with several other people, called Mr. Six."

"Mister Six?" Zhang Zhong asked curiously.

"Yes, Mr. Zhou, an e-sports player, Mr. Liu, a vegetable buyer, Mr. Chen, a lucky fan, Mr. Yang, a Chinese audience, Mr. Lin, who took a sneak shot of the dog head, and Mr. Zhang, a visitor to the exhibition hall." Chen Qing said.

"Oh, what do you mean, that day when I took Pengpeng and the others to the art exhibition, I met a little reporter, and I thought he didn't know me." Zhang Zhong said with a smile, "But this time I've been on so many entertainment news. The label of a commercial writer is also more pronounced."

"Boss, you are joking, but you just won the Pu Songling Award."

"Well, that's why the Pu Songling Award has also become a commercial award." Zhang Chong smiled, and turned to look at Affleck, "How about it, are you satisfied with the scenery of this island?"

"Of course I am satisfied. What I thought before was to put the last scene on this island, but now it seems that we can put most of the scenes on this island. The buildings on this island are bigger than I thought. How many, I thought it was an isolated island with few people." Affleck said.

"I've already arranged an appointment with a director for you. He's a friend of mine. You can talk to him about casting."

"Is it director Wen Jinjiang?" Affleck asked.

"No, it's another younger director. He happens to come to Jiangyang tomorrow. I'll arrange for you to meet."

Hearing that it wasn't Wen Jinjiang, Affleck was a little disappointed, but he didn't show it, and said with a smile, "Thank you, pz."

"You don't need to thank me, it's your job."

"Oh, by the way, I want to use the villa on the island for filming this time. I heard that this villa was built by director Wen Jinjiang when he was filming. Pz, can you ask me if he can borrow the villa? For me?" Affleck said.

Seeing Affleck's sincere smile, Zhang Zhong laughed. He could tell at a glance what this guy was doing.

The villa on the island was built by Wen Jinjiang for the filming of "Ten Little Indian Boys", but this villa is not Wen Jinjiang's own. If Affleck wants to use it, he can contact Huayi Entertainment through the company. There should be no problem. Great, there is no need to ask Wen Jinjiang himself.

This guy still wanted Zhang Zhong to recommend Wen Jinjiang to him.

"Okay, I'll help you make an appointment with him later, you can talk to him face to face about this."

Affleck laughed. "Thank you very much."

……

After returning from Jiaohu Island, Zhang Zhong received another call from Chen Qing.

Zhang Zhong was a little surprised, because he and Chen Qing had only been separated for about ten minutes. What was Chen Qing doing at this time?

"Hello, what's the matter?" Zhang Zhong asked after answering the phone.

"Boss, just now there was news from the United States that this year's Hugo Awards have been cancelled." Chen Qing's voice revealed some displeasure, obviously this news was not good news for them.

This year's Hugo Awards have been somewhat unusual.

By convention, the Hugo Awards should officially announce this year's shortlist in April and May.

However, this year's shortlist has not been officially announced, and the delay has been delayed until July.

It's okay that the shortlist is not announced, after all, there have been cases where the shortlist was not announced before.

But what people didn't expect was that it was stopped directly this year.

"Why stop?" Zhang Zhong asked.

"The official reason given was that there was not enough manpower this year, and the specific work was not done properly. They also issued an apology statement." Chen Qing said.

Hearing this reason, Zhang Chong almost didn't laugh out loud. He shook his head and said, "Okay, I know about it."

"Boss, I feel that this suspension is completely aimed at us. I guess they don't want to award you the award, but they also know that your work has had too much influence last year. If you don't award it to you, it will be difficult to convince the public, so they simply stop publishing .” Chen Qing said.

"Things should not be so simple, and you have underestimated the face of the jury. I guess something else happened."

"Other things?"

"Well, go check it out. I'll give you an idea, so you can check if there is any abnormality in the number of members of the World Science Fiction Association this year." Zhang Zhong said.

"Boss, what do you mean..."

"I'm not sure either, you'll find out after you check."
