Reborn Bao Guowei, I really didn’t want to be a great writer!

Chapter 194: Using barbarians to control barbarians? Xiaobao’s peaceful evolution plan!

At the entrance of Bao Mansion.

Reporters from all major countries swarmed in, and there were a lot of foreigners.

Like iron filings attracted by a magnet, they rushed towards Bao Guowei, raising their heads and staring at Bao Guowei's every move with countless pairs of eyes.

It seems that if he sneezes or falls, it needs to be recorded and treated as big news.

Standing on the steps, Bao Guowei was condescending. It was obvious that he was used to this kind of situation.

He then smiled and said.

"Dear journalists, please excuse me. I am not good at words. If I say something outrageous, it may have some bad effects."

Fang Xinchuan was still thinking of blocking the incoming crowd and protecting Bao Guowei, but he didn't expect that this kid was so familiar with the road.

Then I felt that I had no knowledge.

"Mr. Bao has received great respect in the United States. The English version of "Alive" has been a hot seller. I have reviews from major American newspapers. Mr. Bao can listen to it."

The assistant boy immediately took out a notebook from his bag, spread it out and handed it to Jason, who then read.

Bao Guowei is also scared to death. He wears a bulletproof vest under his clothes almost all the time, just to prevent someone from plotting against him.

But he really didn't know about the reports in major American newspapers.

Without these, I don’t know how I would die.

He even has a nickname, Bao Madman.

This made Bao Guowei's eyes light up. He nodded and said, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Jason. I look forward to hearing some unknown news."

"Thank you." Bao Guowei nodded. He knew that "Alive" was a hot seller. After all, the money was actually in the card.

The questions that were originally surging like a tide suddenly subsided by half. Many reporters looked at each other and suddenly did not dare to speak.

No matter how many attacks or resistance there are from the outside world, Bao Guowei still stands firm.

Unlike others who blindly wanted to obtain information from Bao Guowei, Jason tended to provide information for Bao Guowei.

Jason's eyes suddenly lit up, and he was happy that his little trick had succeeded.

But you must not be contaminated in the slightest. Bao Guowei can escape unscathed, can you?
Do you have a family background, family background, and strength?

Occupying his current position, on one hand he is the disciple of Zhang Taiyan, a great figure in the academic world, and on the other hand he has senior brothers and teachers all over the cultural world. On the other hand, he is also appreciated by Chang Guangtou. The most important thing is that this kid is also liked by foreigners.

Hearing Bao Guowei say these words, almost all reporters took a step back.

This gentleman, with his amazing words, is now famous.

At this time, Cao Yanhai rushed out from nowhere and stood closely beside Bao Guowei to prevent anyone from taking the opportunity to assassinate him.

Only a foreigner with yellow hair walked out of the crowd. He was holding a pen in his hand and a notebook in the other hand. Behind him was a short boy who followed him to record. Finally, he compared the two. Omissions and errors can be avoided.

"Remember quickly, this is also precious information."

Did Bao Guowei say something strange again? That's a normal thing. When has Bao Guowei not "spoke wildly"?

"Mr. Bao, I am Jason, a reporter from Zilin West News. I mainly have some latest news from the United States. Do you want to hear it?"

In the crowd, a reporter immediately urged the recorder next to him. These are newspapers that are not very well-informed. Being able to get the latest news from foreign countries is also a good gimmick.

Jason coughed and spoke in somewhat unskilled Chinese. ,

"This is from the evaluation of the Washington Post in the United States. Bao's "Alive" is a simple but subtle epic. It tells the story of the protagonist's struggle and survival on the land of China, leaving an indelible impression on people. The image of cruelty and negotiation.

In Bao's writing, we see the characters struggling between animal instinct and human nature. Bao's description style is cold and firm, which even makes the novel transcend the general category.

Bao brought me a completely different image of the Chinese people from the past. In the past, the Western prejudices against the Chinese people, such as backwardness, ignorance, pigtails, squinted eyes, and Mandarin people, are all reflected in Bao's works. Through subversion, we can see an image of Chinese people who are tenacious and resilient."

Wow~
The crowd in the audience was immediately in an uproar that the Washington Post would give such a high evaluation.

The most important thing is that in the last paragraph, the Americans mentioned that the Chinese society shown in Bao Guowei's works helped Westerners change their prejudices against the Chinese.

Gave high praise to the Chinese people! ! !
This is not the fame of Bao Guowei alone, it is the fame of the entire Chinese ethnic group!

"What the hell?!"

Fang Xinchuan was still standing next to him, and he was suddenly speechless. He looked at Bao Guowei in surprise. The good guy had to take all precautions, but Bingwen, the bastard, had managed to trick him invisibly.

I would like to ask, in this era, which Chinese people have not been angry? Who has not felt angry and unwilling because of the arrogance and prejudice of Westerners?

Bao Guowei, on the other hand, actually used his works on the literary journey to make Westerners change their original prejudices and instead believe that the Chinese are an ancient and wise race, completely different from other people!
This alone made Fang Xinchuan's eyes burn.

Damn it! I also want to study literature!

Can you be so good at writing articles and novels?

But even so, what Jason was reading was not over yet. He tried to speak louder and struggled to speak.

"The Seattle Times of America mentioned that Bao did not overly sensationalize or use gorgeous rhetoric. He used simple and plain story descriptions to tell readers that every heavy tragedy is painful, and readers can feel the numbing power of a child dying." "Alive" is a cruel reading experience, but it also profoundly presents the Chinese people."

"Time magazine's evaluation pointed out that all the disasters that have happened in China in the past sixty years seem to have happened to the protagonist Fugui and his family. Although the ensuing blows may make it difficult for readers to sympathize, Bao Zhizhi is sincere The words and ink have already molded Fugui into an existential hero.

From various descriptions, we can see that Chinese people have used this as a way to think about whether Westerners should "

Originally, Bao Guowei thought it was nothing, because they were all very ordinary compliments and within a normal range.

But after hearing the evaluation from Time magazine, Bao Guowei suddenly couldn't stand it.

Why does it sound so familiar?
Why do the various reflections on the Chinese Internet seem so like those of later generations?
The classics reappeared, but this reappearance traveled through a hundred years and came to the 1930s.

And this is exactly what Bao Guowei wants to achieve!
This is why Bao Guowei has hidden subtle "private goods" in his works. In this era when the concept of "peaceful evolution" has not yet become popular, it is obvious that even the most advanced Westerners have no way to guard against the subtle impact of "ideological" attacks.

Jason saw that Bao Guowei was very interested in these contents.

Then he said: "Mr. Bao, what do you think of these newspapers? I heard that many Westerners have become very interested in China far in the east because of seeing your works. .”

There was a foreigner next to him who said very excitedly: "The China written by Mr. Bao is admirable. If I have a chance in this life, I also want to become a Chinese. This is allowed by God!"

When Bao Guowei heard this, his face was speechless, and he couldn't help but complain in his heart.

If God knew that you wanted to become a Chinese, I don’t know what your expression would be.

But on the surface, he still smiled and said to Jason.

"Mr. Journalist, thank you very much for sharing. These contents are very important to me. I would like to thank the American people for their love and support.

The book "Alive" is my painstaking work, which combines my childhood experience in Hangzhou and what I saw and heard at the bottom of China."

Bao Guowei's answer was very standard and very beautiful. He didn't have much to do now, as long as he could maintain his shining position in the hearts of foreigners.

"Of course, I would also like to thank Mr. Lin Yutang and Mr. Matos for their help with the book "Alive". The subsequent translation and overseas publication of the work "Guns, Germs and Steel" will soon be It will be put on the agenda.”

Bao Guowei was quite familiar with dealing with these reporters.

It's nothing more than some specious and dispensable nonsense.

At first glance, it seems to make sense, but actually when I think about it carefully, it says nothing.

"I have always respected Mr. Qian Zhongshu very much. If I have the opportunity, I will definitely go to Tsinghua University to meet this legendary literary genius."

Bao Guowei gave simple answers to the questions he could answer.

Qian Zhongshu has just turned twenty this year. He was admitted to the Department of Foreign Languages ​​and Literature at Tsinghua University last year. He can be said to be a famous young genius.

But recently, almost all the limelight has been overshadowed by Bao Guowei.

"My relationship with Zhang Nianyue is true. I'm really sorry about other things. I can't comment on anything that involves personal matters."

"I have never paid attention to Miss Guobulo Wanrong's evaluation of me. I feel deeply honored after knowing it today. But this reporter, I need to correct your title. The Qing Dynasty has long been history, so the word queen is really not enough. It's appropriate. It is recommended to call her Miss Wanrong or Mr. Puyi's wife."

After finally getting rid of the "chasing and interception" of reporters, Bao Guowei finally got into the car under the protection of Cao Yanhai.

Looking back, Fang Xinchuan no longer knew where he had been squeezed. He originally wanted to take him along, but now he had to give up.

Cao Yanhai turned around from the front seat and asked: "Master, where should we go back now? To your school or to visit a certain gentleman. Master's shop seems to also need help."

These are the places Bao Guowei often visited after arriving in Shanghai.

After thinking for a while, Bao Guowei seemed to have been prepared. He pointed in one direction and said: "Go to the public concession and make an appointment to see Mr. Lin Yutang. I have an important matter that I need to discuss with him."

"Is it important?"

Cao Yanhai had doubts on his face. He felt that Bao Guowei had basically all important things on his hands. How could there be anything unimportant?

But he didn't say anything, nodded, and ordered the driver to set off.

Public concession.

Lin House.

"Okay! Okay!" Lin Yutang looked at the good news one by one, with a sincere smile on his face. He looked at Bao Guowei, who was drinking tea opposite, feeling a little more cordial than his own son.

Lin Yutang smiled and said with emotion: "It is not an easy thing to convince these foreigners. They are arrogant and conceited. Their hundreds of years of plunder have made them arrogant, and Bingwenqi has truly convinced them."

"Hahaha, actually this is a tactic. Really random words cannot achieve this effect. I originally thought it could achieve 30% effectiveness, which is already very good. This is a long-term process. I didn't expect that it could be achieved like this. Effect."

Bao Guowei also sighed.

At the beginning, he just wanted to use "Alive" as a breakthrough, but he did not expect that it would have such an outstanding effect.

Bao Guowei underestimated foreigners' yearning and curiosity for the East. For Westerners since ancient times, the East has been a place full of mystery and wealth.

This has only undergone fundamental changes in the past hundred years.

But Bao Guowei's "Living" is like adding a flame to the extinguished fire, igniting the "Chinese fever" in the United States and even the West.

Lin Yutang recalled the translation process and said angrily: "You must give me those magnolia flowers at your house and transplant them into my garden!"

"I spent countless days and nights scratching my head in order to translate the essence of your work."

He said angrily: "The key is that you, kid, like to add some weird personal stuff in the details. If I want to reflect the essence of the original work, I must combine the Chinese and English contexts and make a good conversion. This is really It’s a difficult thing.”

Lin Yutang didn't like money, but he had a special liking for these flowers and plants. He had been thinking about the flowers and plants in Bao Guowei's yard for a long time.

Bao Guowei cupped his hands and said, "Thanks to sir, if it weren't for you, "Alive" wouldn't be able to achieve this achievement."

Lin Yutang hummed twice. He was not the kind of person to be polite, so he asked a little strangely.

"I didn't feel anything at first. I just felt that your details, such as the vague praise of the Chinese people in the story, the analysis and contempt of the Westerners, are all hidden in the story. You can't detect it without careful analysis and judgment."

He asked based on the current reactions of various Western parties.

"Are these things really so magical that they can change Westerners' minds?"

Bao Guowei paused while drinking tea, then asked with a smile.

“I wonder if Mr. Lin Yutang has ever heard of peaceful evolution and ideological attacks?”

“Peaceful evolution and ideological attack?!!”
