Xindu Hotel, four-star.
In Shanghai, a place with an inch of land and an inch of gold, it impressively occupies a whole modern building with extraordinary momentum. There is a square like open space in front of the door. It is usually used for parking for guests, but if there are any major activities, it can build a stage here.
Once in a while, powerful businessmen will set up a high platform here. Please talk to a few stars and perform one or two programs. For stars, this is a cave. Businesses use the popularity of stars to start their own brand, and stars can quickly make money. They often go to the cave once and appear for just a few minutes, You can earn more than making a TV play or a record.
Therefore, both for businesses and stars, this is a win-win situation and they are very keen on each other.
Every time there is such a commercial show and such a star walking, it can attract a lot of audiences and media reporters.
Due to the different popularity of each star, the number and identity of the audience and stars will be completely different.
Today, there are still parking spaces in the square in front of Xindu hotel. Looking around, dozens of cars of various grades are parked in most of the place, that is to say, there are no commercial performances and stars.
But what's strange is that 300 or 400 people have gathered here today, including teenage boys and girls, college students and office workers in their twenties and thirties, and even more than 20 news media.
This unusual scene made passing vehicles, pedestrians and customers in and out of Xindu Hotel look at it frequently. A middle-aged customer with strong curiosity came out of the gate of the hotel, and his small eyes glittered with a strong fire of gossip.
The middle-aged customer is about 50 years old. His sparse hair is very short and his hairline is very high. Depending on his temperament, he may be an executive of a company.
When passing by two beautiful women, the middle-aged man's eyes lit up and his heart was curious. At the moment, when he saw the beautiful woman, he was in a hurry.
"Hey! Little sister! What's the matter with so many of you gathered here today? Can you tell your uncle?"
Two beauties, one tall, with long legs and long hair, belong to the type of popular lovers, and the other is a slightly plump, round and Yurun, which belongs to the type of mature young women.
The middle-aged man's attention fell on the slightly plump young woman.
Middle aged people smile as if they were harmless to humans and animals.
The two beauties looked over at the sound. The young woman frowned slightly and the woman with long hair subconsciously stepped back, but she still whispered: "an author we like is going to hold a press conference here today. We are here to support his fans!"
"What?"
When the middle-aged man was surprised, he not only turned his eyes from the young woman to the long haired woman's face, but also blurted out his native dialect accent. If it weren't for his sales, he would be no different from ordinary rural old farmers.
"The author holds a press conference? What author? Which great writer? Maijia or Haiyan?"
The middle-aged man's eyes widened.
The woman with long hair frowned slightly. She was obviously a little frightened and subconsciously approached the young woman.
"Neither! It's a literary clown! He writes online novels!"
"Ah? Literary clown? Online novel? The name seems a little familiar! Is it the person who sent someone to frame his classmate to look for a miss of five dollars in the park?"
The middle-aged man had heard the name of Wen Chou, but the things he thought of turned the faces of the two beauties black.
"All right, all right! You can go! We're not interested in chatting with you!"
The goose faced young woman waved her hand like a fly, frowned and asked the middle-aged man to leave. The long haired woman looked at him unhappily. The middle-aged man opened his mouth slightly and finally realized that he had just said something wrong. The two beauties had just said that they came to support the author they liked, but he said bad things about the author, which didn't arouse their disgust!
"Sorry, sorry!"
The middle-aged man felt his nose a little embarrassed and had to leave.
"Bah!"
Before he went far, the goose faced young woman spit on the ground in disgust, which made the middle-aged man's face more ugly and hurried to recover again.
……
A little farther away, a man and a woman, two journalists in their thirties, were standing together and chatting in a low voice.
The man holds a camera in his hand and the woman holds a microphone with a square sign on it.
"I can't understand it these days! A writer of online novels has held a press conference! What's more, the director also told us to come here. What do you call the world?"
While biting the hamburger in his hand, the man whispered to the woman around him.
The woman chuckled: "there are also media interviews with Sister Feng and Sister Lotus! Don't you understand it more?"
The man was stunned and then laughed: "it seems so! Do you mean that this person who writes online novels is similar to Sister Feng?"
The woman gave the man a white look: "what are you talking about? You are obedient and don't listen? On your understanding ability, did your former teacher die of anger? I convinced you!"
Man: "
Seeing him eating hamburgers, she was unhappy. The woman probably felt that her sentence was too lethal. She slowed down and explained: "I mean, as long as you are famous to a certain extent these days, you can be regarded as a public figure regardless of your occupation. If you are a public figure, you will have the value of interview! Did you know the online writer named Wen Chou before coming here? That person not only wrote Online novels, but also wrote several songs, wrote scripts, invested in several films, and recently came out He wrote a program planning plan for Sujiang satellite TV and Nanhu satellite TV. Do you regard him and Sister Feng as the same level? Do you dare to say that to his book fans and movie fans? Dare you, brother Li? "
The man raised his hands and made a surrender: "OK, OK! I have poor understanding! I used to be taught Chinese by a math teacher. OK? Do you want to hit me like this?"
……
In one corner of the square, more than a dozen men and women gathered together.
There are teenagers and childish people, as well as those in their twenties, thirties and even forties. When they get together, they should be very lively, but at this time, they all look a little dignified. A dozen people are also talking and communicating, but their voices are not loud.
One of the tall and thin young people took out a bag of Soft Shell China and scattered one for each of the seven or eight men around him. When he scattered to the last person, he frowned and whispered, "man! Sister, do you think it's useful for Wenda to hold a press conference at this time? Recently, Wenda has been black and shit on the Internet!"
A slightly fat white man shook his head slightly and said, "I see it hanging! Now public opinion on the Internet has fallen to one side, and many people have formed an established impression. I think it is difficult to reverse this situation at a press conference."
A teenager stamped his feet and played with the cigarette in his hand. In fact, he didn't smoke. He took the cigarette only because he was too lazy to refuse.
"The key problem is that some time ago, the mage alliance did ask everyone to pay attention to the trace of Shao Dahai in the group. I don't know which twenty-five son in the group spread the matter, and found out that the screenshot of the original chat record was sent out!"
Among the dozen people, the only man in his forties sighed: "the key is that Wenda may really find someone to do this! I heard that the group photo of Wenda and two beauties posted online last year was sent by Shao Dahai! Wenda has reason to retaliate against him!"
As soon as these words came out, a female book fan with inclined eyebrows immediately quit, suddenly turned his head, stared at the 40 year old man and scolded: "Lao Tan! What are you talking about? Are you a fan of Wenda? Is your position right? Don't say that Wenda didn't do it, even if it did! As a die hard fan of Wenda, we should support him to the end! Don't say Wenda, even if I had a classmate like Shao Dahai, I would have crippled him if I didn't kill him! What's the matter! Classmate ? hum! He first stabbed Wenda in the back! Even if Wenda retaliated against him, what's the matter? It's not too much for that kind of villain! "
"All right, all right! Tian Xin! Say less! Lao Tan doesn't mean that either! Right, Lao tan?"
The man who smoked before quickly rounded up the scene.
Lao Tan helplessly spread his hands, nodded and said, "Lan? People have said a fair word! I didn't say Wenda did wrong just now! I just think that if Wenda did it, things are more difficult now! I'm also worried about Wenda!"
……
On the square in front of the Xindu Hotel, people gather more and more. Like this, a dozen or so book fan groups are distributed all over the square. Many book fans talk very well in the book fan group, but they don't know each other in reality. It's not easy to gather a few or more people in a small range.
At 9:30, the hotel security guard who had been guarding the gate of the hotel finally let go of the gate. The lobby manager in suits walked to the door, whispered something to the security leader, and turned into the hotel.
Then the security leader took out a horn and shouted to the crowd looking at the square: "everyone! Friends who come to Mr. Wen Chou's press conference! The large conference room reserved by Mr. Wen Chou has been opened to you! Please don't crowd and enter in order! We will have staff to guide you into the venue! Thank you for your cooperation!"
At this time, more than five or six hundred people gathered in the square.
Some of them are Lu Yang's book fans, some are his movie fans, and some are heard from passing by here and stayed at the scene to watch the excitement.
Of course, there are dozens of media reporters.
