Reborn Cultural Empire

This happened at the Christmas book market. The media, who have always been so sensitive to news and always reacted to the news, certainly would not let go of such good news topics, so shortly after the protesters appeared, there were Reporters from the media rushed here and started interviewing immediately.

……

Yang Yi has no concept of Christmas, even if he is reborn from later generations and has seen these "foreign festivals" with his own eyes, how popular they will be in the future, but as a boy who is slightly traditional in his bones and is also a chauvinist of national culture , Naturally, I have no feeling for this kind of festival.At this time in China, concepts such as Christmas and Valentine's Day have not become popular, but it makes boys feel very comfortable, without any noise or impetuousness.

But the boys and the current Chinese people don't have the concept of Christmas, but the domestic and foreign media will not be like them, watching foreigners celebrate the festival indifferently.In the New York reporter station of Xinhua News Agency's North American branch, Wang Zongke, the chief news officer and also the person in charge of the reporter station, learned about the protests and demonstrations in Doug Square from his "informant" just after he went to work today.

"Hi, dear Wang, I have some big news to tell you, do you want to know?" Wang Zongke felt helpless when he heard the complacent tone of the foreigner on the phone, but considering the other party's news Channels, like this person's flamboyant personality, are approaching positive infinity, so the chief officer of the Xinhua News Agency's New York reporter station had to deal with it patiently: "Okay, don't lose my appetite, I admit that every Every time I get a call from you, I will be very happy. So, what's the big deal this time?"

"Of course I will tell you, please don't use this tone full of copper smell, please. Am I not helping your career enough?" The voice on the phone was still calm, when Wang Zongke was almost impatient .Then the lion opened his mouth with a smile: "Okay, I've heard it, you can't wait now, right? Then this time, I want to double the bonus for news clues."

"Damn it, I need to make sure whether I heard it wrong or you just drank too much whiskey and have always traded according to the agreement. Why do you double the clue bonus this time?" Hearing the other party's request, Wang Zongke frowned. Instantly wrinkled.However, based on the calmness of a foreign news director, he still wants to hear the other party's reasons for doing so: "And don't forget, we are not just a news informant here, if you are not satisfied with our agreement , then I can always ask other people.”

"It's a ruthless answer, but I guarantee that this news will definitely satisfy you, because it is about your country, not just general news." The guy on the other end of the phone.I also knew that I was not the only channel for the other party to obtain news clues, so I immediately revealed some information, and then did not give Wang Zongke more time to think, and further emphasized: "And I still have some internal information. I guarantee that everyone else will If you don’t know something, hurry up and decide buddy, think about our cooperation with each other before. Have I made you dissatisfied?”

Wang Zongke's work and location.It made him make a decision in an instant, and immediately nodded and agreed: "Okay. Double the bonus for news clues, tell me what happened right now, right now! If it proves that the news is indeed of extraordinary value, then two hundred dollars is yours." That's it!"

After hearing his promise, the sloppy tone on the other end of the phone finally became serious: "Just above the Daoge Culture Square in Morningside Heights, there was a crowd of protesters who were dissatisfied with the Pulitzer Prize, which caused these readers to The reason for your unhappiness is all caused by your young compatriot. Because of his book "The Fall of the Empire", there are now people protesting that the Pulitzer Prize is not enlightened and inclusive. It is really speechless..."

compatriots? "The Fall of an Empire"?Pulitzer Prize?Protest?

After these words got into Wang Zongke's ears, they immediately formed the general context of a piece of news.As the head of the New York reporter station of the North American branch, he has also heard about the hot events that have occurred in the cultural circles of Citigroup in the past half month. In the North American branch of Xinhua News Agency in the office building, Rong Hu, the branch director, also made arrangements for this issue in an internal meeting, asking the Citigroup branch and the New York reporter station to also pay attention to this incident, and then produced a follow-up report. report.

But I didn't expect that my side hadn't had time to start, but the readers here took the first step.

Moreover, it was just a debate on the front of public opinion before, but now according to my informant, there are even demonstrations and protests. Pen news lead bonus.

So there was no time to say more on the phone, and after a hasty reply, Wang Zongke immediately hung up the phone and began to rush to the next office.On his side is the New York reporter station, and next door is the Citigroup branch of the North American branch of Xinhua News Agency.

"President, I got a news thread just now, saying that it is..."

"Needless to say, I just heard from my side that you should arrange your staff immediately and rush to Daoge Cultural Square to conduct on-site follow-up reports. Be sure to be detailed and comprehensive, and strive to dig out all the behind-the-scenes news of the entire incident!" Before Wang Zongke finished reporting the situation, the vice president of the branch over there who was in charge of daily work had already issued instructions.

……

How the Xinhua News Agency in Niuyue communicates with the country and arranges the program is not clear to the audience. They only know that when they are watching the news program at night, a real-time news is suddenly inserted very rarely. Interview report: "Hello, audience friends, I am Peng Wei, a reporter from the New York reporter station of Xinhua News Agency. I am now at the Daoge Cultural Plaza in Manhattan, New York, and I am bringing you a live report..."

"Presumably everyone is not very clear now, and the reason why I suddenly brought you such a live report, so before the interview, I will briefly introduce the cause and effect of the whole thing for you - more than half a month ago, there was a book called The novel "The Fall of the Empire" was published by Citigroup Random House, and once it was released on the market, it has aroused considerable repercussions among the readers. Of course, if it is just a book that caused a sensation in the foreign book market The most important reason why there are a large number of readers standing up behind me is that the author of this work is a He is a Chinese youth, and because of the issue of nationality, whether this work about a typical Citi country life is eligible for the Pulitzer Prize, which can only be obtained by Citi country authors, has become a debate among readers here. Focus……"

With the broadcast of the news, many Chinese viewers who used to watch news programs, but actually didn't care about foreign current affairs, also began to pay attention. Those who put down their chopsticks, focused their attention on the TV, and tuned in. Turning up the volume of the machine, asking family members to speak softly... There are many actions.

Zhao Changtian, as an old party member, veteran literary worker, and chairman of the Shanghai Writers Association, is interested in news from CCTV, and even more interested in news about the literary world.Especially when he heard the reporter's explanation on TV—that it was a young Chinese author who stirred up the upsurge of public opinion in Citigroup, his eyes widened even more, and he was still thinking to himself: Could it be that little fellow Yang Yi?Speaking of which, among the young people I know, this kid is the only one who has the strength to let his works land overseas, and even stir up trouble.

However, his ears are not very good, and he didn't hear clearly the title of the book reported by the reporter on TV before, so now after turning his attention away, his eyes are still fixed on the screen, and his hand is fumbling around, trying to fish for it. TV remote control.

His wife next to him glared at him angrily, and found that the old man didn't respond at all, so he could only snatch the remote control from the end of the sofa angrily and amusedly, and turned the volume up a bit on his own initiative.

"Excuse me, sir, why are you here, can you tell us?" In the camera, the reporter who was broadcasting on the scene had already put the microphone in front of a tall and thin young man from Citigroup.

After the young man raised his eyebrows to express his surprise, he didn't show any signs of stage fright. He lowered his head a little generously, and at the same time faced the camera with the book he was holding, and then chattered: “books, really ve, their&nb readers missedhand……”

"What is this foreigner getting excited about? It's like someone stole his girlfriend, hahaha!"

Far away in the Jiang family's house in the capital, a cousin of Jiang Nan watched TV and couldn't help rolling his eyes.This year the old lady is not at home, it is said that she has an important job, that's why juniors like them dare to be so presumptuous at the dinner table.

But the old lady is not here, but there are other elders. After seeing his son's escape, the boy's father immediately darkened his face: "You don't know what to say? You learned English for nothing at school. ?”

All the juniors at the dining table secretly gave sympathetic glances, but Jiang Nan was the only one who stared straight at the TV screen. (To be continued..)
