I Won a Prize of 100 Million at the Beginning, and I Became a Capital Boss

Chapter 86 Liu Cixin won the Hugo Award!

On August [-]th, Chai Jing responded to Fang Zhouzi on Weibo, "A person who was banned from Weibo actually came back from the dead on a small platform? An article published by a so-called big V who promotes genetically modified food to be cracked down , What credibility is there? I will reserve the right to sue for fabricating facts and damaging my personal reputation, the Internet is not a place outside the law!"

Fang Zhouzi didn’t talk nonsense, and directly posted three photos, Chai Jing drove a Toyota Domineering in the old America, Chai Jing smoked during pregnancy, Chai Jing’s bear doll in Chai Jing’s documentary, and posted his doctorate in biochemistry from Michigan State University.

"Please answer, whether the data of the documentary "Under the Dome" is falsified, don't talk about it. Scientific research shows that a pregnant woman smokes more than ten cigarettes a day, and the risk of giving birth to a deformed child increases by 10%. Perhaps reporter Chai does not The smog in the United States should be blamed for causing your child to have a congenital tumor!"

Fang Zhouzi’s response was very hard-core, if you want to sue, then sue, anyway, he is also a frequent visitor to the Yanjing court, and he always fights with others, this time it’s not like he accused Han Han of slandering others by ghostwriting, this time it’s a solid hammer!
Netizens were watching the excitement and found it very interesting, so they went to Smartisan Technology CEO Luo Yonghao's Weibo headline and asked him what he thought of this matter?
After all, Luo Yonghao tore Fang Zhouzi with his hands, and Fang Zhouzi reported that the Smartisan T1 advertisement of Smartisan mobile phone involved false advertising.

Luo Yonghao responded humorously, "On December 12, Smartisan Technology will release the Smartisan T29 mobile phone with Qualcomm Snapdragon 2 chip processor, so stay tuned."

This operation immediately attracted a large wave of fans for Luo Yonghao, and attracted many fans to join the Weitoutiao app.

Bai Xiaolu was amused, "Good guy, Luo Yonghao is actually selling mobile phones when two other people are arguing."

"Luo Yonghao said that his T1 is the best mobile phone in the eastern hemisphere, and the sales volume is only more than 20 units. Except for hammer fans, almost no one pays for Lao Luo's feelings."

"He didn't just take his own money to start a business this time. He also has to be responsible for investors. He just took advantage of the popularity to stir up a wave of mobile phones. He is indeed a marketing wizard."

Moreover, Zheng Wentong felt that Fang Zhouzi's crackdown on fake Chai Jing was extremely hot this time, as if someone was fueling the flames. Netizens are always chasing new hot spots. They like to make gods and then knock them off the altar. The Tianjin Mengang accident a few days ago The heat dropped.

Zheng Wentong only knew that this incident happened, but he forgot the exact time, and he was in his hometown, waiting for his nephew to be born, so after the accident, he still felt sad and regretful. He is not a superman and cannot save the world .

On August 21st, Zheng Wentong and Bai Xiaolu returned to Puhai, and Xiaolu had to prepare in advance for joining the crew of "Ode to Joy".

Weimeng Media helped Bai Xiaolu register a studio, which was affiliated with Weimeng Media.The current staff of the studio are Wang Rui and He Handan.

Wang Rui is an actor who has worked with Bai Xiaolu in a micro film before. He has given up his acting career and switched to a brokerage business. He is in charge of business cooperation and contact. He Handan is still a personal assistant.

Zheng Wentong equipped his girlfriend with a female bodyguard and a Toyota Alphard. As an actress who just entered the industry, Bai Xiaolu's ostentation is not small.

But she doesn't need to be too close to the people, so as not to have fanatical fans or two hundred and five who don't know the situation to harass her girlfriend.

Zheng Wentong is going to join Liu Cixin here, and this time he returned to Puhai with Zheng Wentong, as well as his security assistant Zhao Hailong.

Liu Cixin has received an invitation letter from the Hugo Award Organizing Committee, inviting Liu Cixin to attend the award ceremony at the Spokane Convention Center in Washington State.

Liu Cixin originally didn't plan to go to Laomei to attend the awards ceremony. After all, the cost of going there is relatively high, and science fiction writers are relatively poor.

The annual income of Liu Cixin, the top sci-fi author in China, may not be as good as the monthly income of Tiancan Tudou.

Zheng Wentong also expects to transfer the copyright of the English TV series "Three-Body Problem", so he strongly invites Liu Cixin to participate in the awards ceremony. All expenses such as air tickets, hotels, and accommodation will be borne by Slope Capital.

Moreover, Slope Capital, which owns the copyright of "The Three-Body Problem", will reward Liu Cixin with 90 RMB, as long as Liu Cixin is willing to come forward.

Zheng Wentong and Liu Cixin attended the award ceremony together. This is a wave of free top-level advertisements. Let Zhong Lifang come forward at that time, saying that the parent company of Galloping Pony owns the exclusive copyright of "Three-Body Problem" and intends to adapt Liu Cixin's science fiction novel into a movie. , the project is in progress.

After several waves of publicity like this, the valuation of Galloping Horse can be further increased. It is absolutely no problem for the valuation to exceed 30 billion.

Liu Cixin's Weitoutiao account has been opened, and when Liu Cixin is about to finish, his award words and photos of receiving the award will be synchronized to Weitoutiao.

The shopping links of Liu Cixin’s physical books on JD.com and Dangdang will be linked to Liu Cixin’s Wei Toutiao dynamics. This is also the first attempt at the commercial realization of Wei Toutiao.

After all, Chinese people are like this. Before Mo Yan won the Nobel Prize for Literature, he was already a famous writer, but his audience of book fans was still very small.

As soon as he won the award, many books were sold out. You can tell who is a real book fan and what is an arty fake book fan.

Liu Cixin is the first physical book author, and Mo Yan, Yu Hua, and Liang Xiaosheng will be invited later.

Teacher Yu Hua has a strong sense of internet, after all, he lives by "To Live". Teacher Liang Xiaosheng's adaptation of "The World" into a TV series is even more tear-jerking and touching.

Zheng Wentong and Liu Cixin flew from Puhai to New York, and first met Liu Yukun, the translator of the English version of "Three-Body Problem", and then they all went to Washington, DC.

Liu Yukun has won the Hugo Award, the Nebula Award and the Locus Award Grand Slam, the three highest awards in science fiction. He won the Hugo Award earlier than Liu Cixin for his short story "Sorrow".

In addition to being a writer, he is also a lawyer, translator, and software engineer. He also graduated from Harvard University. man.

When Liu Yukun saw Liu Cixin, the two big men hugged each other, "Welcome, I'm in New York to see what I can see."

After Liu Cixin introduced Zheng Wentong, Liu Yukun shook Zheng Wentong's hand politely.

"The first time I saw Mr. Zheng, I knew you were a shrewd investor, just like the investment bank elites I know."

"There, my work is actually insignificant, but I also want to promote the sci-fi masterpiece "Three-Body" to the world, so that more people can appreciate this work."

The three got together, and since it was inevitable to discuss the novel "The Three-Body Problem", Zheng Wentong knew that Liu Yukun had dabbled in steampunk novels, so he chatted with Liu Yukun with some settings from "Lord of the Mysteries", and Liu Cixin participated in it from time to time. Personal chatting all the way.

Liu Yukun praised Zheng Wentong, "I take back my statement. Mr. Zheng is not only an outstanding investor, but also a senior science fiction fan. With a book fan like you who deeply understands "Three-Body" and owns "Three-Body" film and television The right to adapt is indeed the gospel of science fiction."

The three of them talked about the difficulty of the "Three-Body Problem" shooting plan. If "Three-Body Problem I" is going to be made into a TV series, such as "Game of Thrones", the production cost of each episode will be 1000 million US dollars, and 24 episodes will be enough. For 2.4 million U.S. dollars, the attempt of TV series can be given up.

Zheng Wentong said that he also considered this way. The "Crazy Alien" that Ning Hao is going to shoot is actually based on Liu Cixin's novel "Country Teacher".

However, the movie has undergone a lot of changes. Liu Cixin mainly made science fiction settings, and the core of the movie is still a comedy movie.

Although it is a comedy, the setting of science fiction in "Crazy Alien" is very rigorous, and Liu Cixin participated in this part.

"Boss Zheng's idea is very good. There are still too few sci-fi fans in China. We should cultivate the fan market first. If "Crazy Alien" sells well at the box office, other film companies will also be willing to invest more in the production of sci-fi films." try."

Liu Cixin agreed, "Actually, I didn't intend to attend the awards ceremony. After all, my daughter will start school soon, and there are many other factors in this Hugo Awards. Many outstanding works were not selected. I think the gold content is not enough."

Zheng Wentong smiled, "It's okay to say this in front of us, don't mention it in domestic interviews, it will have a bad influence."

"Three-body female characters, such as Ye Wenjie, can actually dig out richer connotations. There are many stories in her heart, and female movie fans are the main moviegoers, because men like to watch movies with women."

The "Sad Puppies" initiated by the old American best-selling author Larry Correa and the "Rage Puppies" initiated by Vox Day manipulated the Hugo Award nominations by swiping votes, which had a very bad influence.

These two organizations hold conservative right-wing views, and have repeatedly spoken out against women and minorities. Liu Cixin's "Three-Body I" nominations also came in and out.

So in an interview some time ago, even though Liu Cixin was included in the list of the final five winners, he was not optimistic that he would win the award.

Moreover, many well-known sci-fi writers voluntarily offered to give up nominations for the Hugo Awards, so Liu Cixin said that he only won half of the Hugo Awards, which is not enough money.

Liu Cixin's Three-Body Problem is of course great enough, but some people will also question that the old American jury will not award Liu Cixin because of political correctness in order to restore the influence.

Because Liu Cixin's female characters in "Three-Body Problem", such as Ye Wenjie, are relatively weak in portrayal and are considered to discriminate against women, so the two organizations nominated him, and because Liu Cixin is Asian, they rejected him.

Without Marco Claus's "Separation Line" withdrawing from the selection of novels, "Three-Body Problem" would not be able to make it to the final round of 5 nominations.

Marko Krause said on Twitter: "To be honest, there is no work that I want to see on the shortlist than TBP "Three-Body Problem". I wish you all the best."

It didn't take long for him to update his Twitter: "I really can't express how happy I am that "Three-Body Problem" has entered the final list of best novels, so well deserved."
