Reborn Cultural Empire

But he didn't have time to think about it, because someone has already started to ask him with interest: "Actually, just now, I was still wondering, what about the foreign writer who wrote "Stone Stone"? Didn't he mean to introduce it to us? Do the old guys know each other? How come there is an Asian president of Random House and an Indian servant? Sorry, I want to say it’s really not my fault, your age scares me, so good, Yang , may I call you that? Can you describe, before writing this work, how those inspirations found you, and then lingered in your mind, and finally created this moving work work?"

"Recalling the history, and hearing the clues of the past from my grandmother's generation..."

Yang Yi had already fooled the silent noble lady with this question yesterday, but after being asked about it today, he had to use those reasons to fool him again, and he added some things that he didn't talk about yesterday. things, in case these people had talked about themselves before, and already knew these words from the lady.After finally talking a lot, even he didn't know the reason for what he was saying, what he finally got was a burst of admiration and applause.

"I can't imagine, Yang, it was your age that scared me before, but now it's your talent that scares me. Well, I heard that you seem to have put a lot of energy into commercial writing now. Above, please forgive me, this kind of behavior is like a crime, obviously has the ability to write better works, even handed down works, but give up this ability for some other secular reasons. It’s too annoying I can't understand." An old man who seems to be called Roman Gary is currently working as a professor at the French Academy of Letters.He unceremoniously pointed out what he thought was wrong: "In fact, I know the selection committee of the Goncourt Prize. It is already considering the possibility of winning the work "Stone". I believe that if you can bury your head in literature In creation, it’s not just the Booker Prize and the Goncourt Prize, you can even be covered by the honor of the Nobel Prize in your prime just like your idol. Am I not mistaken? My little Azalina ?”

Roman Gary turned his head to look at the woman next to him. Obviously, she had told Yang Yi about his love for Camus and Brodsky to the former.And Roman Gary said that because of those two writers.They happen to be among the rare writers in the history of the Nobel Prize in Literature who were called upon to award them the Nobel Prize in their prime.

"Sorry, when I was talking about your "Stone" earlier, I accidentally mentioned your views on the two of them. If there is anything that makes you uncomfortable, I promise I will pay attention to it in the future." The young woman smiled apologetically, Responded to the question of the French Academy of Letters professor.

"It's nothing, this is not some ulterior secret..." Yang Yigang wanted to express that he didn't care, but suddenly thought of it.After chatting with this noble lady for so long, I still didn't know her name. I was a little embarrassed for a while: "Uh, I'm sorry. I still don't know your name. Sorry, what should I call Miss?"

His words immediately triggered a slightly exaggerated disbelief: "What did I hear? Two young people who have communicated for a long time, and the man still doesn't know the lady's name? This is not what a gentleman should do. !” Obviously, there are not a few people who hold this view.Even the owner of the castle, Jean Georges Duamel.He shook his head again and again and laughed, as if he was really speechless towards Yang Yi.

"Aiselina Simone Duamel. Of course, I shouldn't blame you for not knowing my name. Who told us to talk about literature for a day yesterday?" The woman smiled lightly and let it go. Yang Yi.

……

I spent the whole morning in this rather relaxed atmosphere. Although there were some people who hid their emotions well, and then took the opportunity to ask a few tricky questions, but it turned out that Yang Yizao was prepared After the two clearly felt the favor of Yang Yi from the master of the castle and several literary seniors, they also restrained themselves a lot subconsciously, so they didn't make any embarrassing things at the banquet.

And after a while of vague explanations, the slightly serious Mr. Roman Gary finally let go of the questioning of the boy, and did not force him to concentrate on writing, but obviously, the other party was still stubborn. Yu Huai's, this kind of earnest appreciation and request made Yang Yi a little confused at one time, so--I am not someone else, so why do I care so much about whether I can achieve higher literary achievements?

"Don't take it to heart, Mr. Gary is like this. He has the same attitude towards any talented junior. I hope you can achieve higher achievements and have a longer-term future." Edward is very concerned about this matter. I am happy to see the results: "With his attention, plus Mr. Pei Luoxiong and Mr. Marlowe, I am almost sure that half of the chances of today's Goncourt Award will fall on you. As for the rest That half will be fought over by more than a dozen well-known writers, and I feel sorry for them."

"It's not worthy of attention." Yang Yi shrugged his shoulders. If it is said that before writing "Soil Knob", he was still full of expectations about whether he could win an award, but after winning the Booker Prize , he didn't have much thought about it.

It's not that I lost motivation, but I feel that the influence of this kind of personal award on Yangyi's culture is indeed not obvious.People in the industry and the upper class of society who pay attention to literature may be full of attention to their own awards, but after reaching the most basic level of the public, the lack of influence of these foreign literary awards begins to show.The award ceremony for his future Booker Prize was broadcast on national television, but after more than half a year of precipitation, it was not as influential as a copy of "Bright Sword".If in the streets and alleys of cities other than Yuezhou, you randomly ask a passer-by who is the Booker Prize winner and the author of "Soil Pimple", probably less than one out of ten people can answer. Second, if you ask the author of "Bright Sword", at least half of the people can answer "Reading history with joy", and there are some people who have paid attention to teenagers.May directly say Yang Yi's name.This is the gap in reality, which makes Yang Yi feel helpless.But there is no way.

Unless it has won the Nobel Prize, it will be able to become a household name in China.

And through this phenomenon.Yang Yi also discovered a problem—except for the Nobel Prize, foreign literary awards are rarely known to ordinary people in China, so how will he promote Chinese culture to the world in the future?Could it also exist that ordinary people are not interested in foreign cultures?This is not unfounded worry, but a possibility with a high probability of existence.

But after all, this question is still far away, so Yang Yi's main goal now is how to properly present himself in the official salon that will be held soon.

The morning gathering was just a private gathering among a few acquaintances.There is still a whole day before the official opening of the salon.

……

When Yang Yi was experiencing a different life in a foreign country, in the magic city, in the Dingchen cartoon of the Jinmao Building, the boss Qin Pi was nestling in his boss chair, looking at a report in front of him with glowing eyes.

"Haha, what kind of Yangyi Culture actually came to Lao Tzu's territory?" Qin Pi immediately promoted himself to be the general spokesperson of the animation industry in Shanghai.He was very imposing, and told his assistant: "Okay, you should contact Mr. Takeda Yasumoto from Gainax right away, and you must win that... the agency of Evangelion. I said absolutely! Now, you go to contact me first, and I will arrange the specific affairs. Well, Director Ma of the Bureau of Culture and Broadcasting, do you know what to do? That’s fine. You go first.”

After giving instructions to the assistant, Qin Pi suddenly felt indescribably comfortable all over.It was as if some kind of stubborn illness that had troubled him for many years suddenly healed.

More than a year ago, no, not more than a year, it has been two years!Two years ago, I was very sincere—at least Qin Pi himself felt that he was indeed very sincere. At that time, he could offer a price of 50 million yuan, which was considered very high. Relying on the fact that there are people in the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, it is almost always beneficial.But when facing Yang Yihe's Siyue Culture, which was not published by Yang Yi at that time, after he gritted his teeth and offered a "high price" of 80 million, he was ruthlessly rejected.Moreover, at that time, he was severely slapped in the face in front of several powerful people in key departments of the Radio, Film and Television Bureau. Qin Pi felt that he would never forget this humiliation.

As for the animation copyright of "Yunhuang", the fact that only one island country sold 670 million yuan is obviously selectively forgotten by him. He only knows that Yang Yi didn't give him face, and ignores his behavior from the beginning It is called strong buying and strong selling.

It's just that his influence is limited to Shanghai, and Yuezhou is the capital of Jiangnan Province. Some means can't be used there, so he can only watch the Yangyi culture gradually grow, but there is nothing he can do.

It wasn't until recently that he was busy with the negotiations in the island country that he had time to learn that Yangyi Culture had actually moved to his side?

For him, it was the same excitement and even ecstasy as when he suddenly heard that one of his cousins ​​was promoted to the head of the SARFT department eight years ago.

Now that Yangyi Culture has come to Shanghai, then I have an obligation to fulfill the responsibility of a host!

As for Qin Pi's first attack, if someone in the industry is familiar with his temperament, it will be extremely unbelievable in the future-because this guy didn't use those outside tricks, all kinds of dirty tricks that can't be put on the table , but actually want to take the aboveboard route.

And this aboveboard line is an island country animation that he relies on as a surprise soldier.

The name over there is called "Evangelion", but Qin Pi thinks this name is really not very good, and it is simply incomprehensible for him to evaluate it.Of course, in order to be able to successfully obtain the acting rights of this animation from Gainax Animation Company in the island country, he will definitely not express this kind of thinking. My Xiaomi has never mentioned this kind of disdain.

As long as the contract is negotiated and the agency rights are obtained, it doesn't matter how arrogant you are at that time, but now, it's better to keep a low profile.

It has to be said that although Qin Pi started his career in a crooked way, he has a certain ability to distinguish whether an animation is a hit. In the current Chinese market, there is a frenzy of excellent works. Therefore, in this negotiation, he did not use his relationship to suppress others. Instead, he tried his best, and even used nearly 600 million in funds, just to be able to do so in one fell swoop. Get the agency rights of this animation. (To be continued..)
