Chapter 524 Leave one song "One Day" and return to China
Talk about it.
Tru's style is very similar to that of a certain player on Earth. He is also a super internet celebrity in Blue Star, with many loyal fans and fun fans.
Therefore, the news that he ran to Los Angeles to meet Xu Xiyu instantly detonated the Internet at home and abroad.
Not only that, he also took a bunch of physical books of "The Three-Body Problem" and asked Xu Xiyu to sign them. By the way, he left an iconic saying: "No one understands how excellent The Three-Body Problem is better than me."
Good guy, as soon as this sentence came out, the popularity of "The Three-Body Problem" directly rose to a higher level.
Not only that, Tru's ideas are extremely anti-"correct". It just so happens that members of the Hugo Awards are fed up with the "correct" works of the previous two awards.
Therefore, Tru's play will further benefit the performance of "The Three-Body Problem" at the Hugo Awards.
But having said that, in today's situation, whether or not you win the Hugo Award is no longer important.
Yes, that’s the Hugo Award for Discernment. This award is still valuable.
If you don't give it... then I'm sorry, what is the Hugo Award?
This situation has made many people's eyes green with envy.
Even Nancy's light blue eyes tend to turn green.
She was not jealous, but embarrassed. She suddenly remembered that Xu Xiyu had asked her to help him find a celebrity platform, but she had fooled him.
It's fine now.
There is no need to help find celebrities to support themselves.
On the front foot, top Hollywood stars like Luciano, Romon, and Scarlett made recommendations; on the back foot, players like True came to ask for autographs.
This made his previous fooling behavior look a bit ridiculous.
In addition to Nancy, Lacy Curry's eyes were almost green. He was angry. This damn Tru said all my words!
Now if he goes to meet Xu Xiyu, he might be laughed at because he is imitating Tru. In Chinese, that is "double imitation".
But the problem is, California is the core territory of Blue Donkey. Even a red elephant like True came to express his gratitude to the "California Heroes". As the boss of Blue Donkey, you, Lacy, did not make any move. Is this appropriate?
It's definitely inappropriate.
For a moment, Lacy Curry was embarrassed. This is the dilemma of the voting leader. Before he can learn to do practical things, he must first learn to show off.
To a certain extent, showing off can even be said to be more important than doing real things. If you don’t believe it, look at the saint in Argentina.
Everyone is no longer voting for the better one, but rather not voting for the more annoying one.
In this case, you can be incapable, but you can't be incapable of "living".
True is a very viable player, and Laci Curry must follow suit now, because this is already the fourth year.
In other words, the results will be available in April and November now. Whether I can work for another four years depends on whether my "work" this year is good or not.
With this in mind, Lacy Curry made a decision after discussing it with his staff.
It's night.
It was the second night after Tohru met Xu Xiyu.
A piece of news suddenly appeared on the Internet, shocking Zhang Jianbai and others.
"Holy crap, Lacy Curry's spokesperson said that Lacy is considering awarding Xu Xiyu the Presidential Medal of Freedom this year?!"
On earth, Michelle Yeoh has also received this medal; it is awarded once a year, with no nationality requirements, and is mainly awarded to civilians who have made outstanding contributions to the United States in the fields of science, culture, sports, and social activities.
In addition, this medal has two levels, one is the ordinary version, and the other is the outstanding version. Xu Xiyu's can only be the ordinary version.
However, even if it is the ordinary version, it is one of the highest honors awarded to civilians in the United States, the other is the "Congressional Gold Medal."
Zhang Jianbai and others naturally didn't understand these things, so when they heard the news, everyone present almost stared out of their eyes.
One of them said in disbelief: "No, can Xu Xiyu, a Chinese, also receive a medal?"
"Has he made such a big contribution? What qualifications does he have to receive this medal?!"
No one answered their questions because everyone was now looking down at the news to see what was going on.
At this time, netizens were naturally discussing it like crazy.
[Good guy, two commanders serve Ah Dan, his blessing is not small]
[Being shot twice and served by two commanders, very reasonable]
[Does this mean that Dancuo has become Ami’s nationality? 】
[Absolutely, otherwise why should this medal be awarded to him? What qualifications does he have to receive it? 】
[As long as you know how to use Baidu, you will not say such things]
[The black man is like this. Others cannot be black, and they start to talk about nationality again]
[Dan Zhu saved an American, not a Chinese. Should I still be proud of him? 】
[The key point is that he dares to take action when facing evil, which shows the spirit and appearance of Chinese people who are brave enough to fight against evil. You don’t have to be proud, but don’t post it to be embarrassing]
[I think he is eager to dedicate his life to his spiritual motherland. Now that he has received the medal, his dream has been completely fulfilled. I am afraid he will wake up laughing even in his dream]
[I don’t know if Ah Dan is like this, but I think you look like someone who brings his own dog food] On the Internet, there is another battle between black and white.
On the American side, Wang Shan, the first brother in foreign affairs, frowned tightly after seeing the news.
"It's not a good thing. It's not a good thing to receive this medal."
"Then should we remind Xu Xiyu and tell him that in fact, Lacy and Tru don't care about the life and death of those 9 people. They may not care about the death of 90 people. Are they just showing off for the election?"
"Then, tell him not to be dazzled by the flowers and flowers? Tell him it's better not to receive this medal?" Wang Shan asked in return.
"This..."
"There are some things we can't say." Wang Shan shook his head, "If we say it, maybe Xu Xiyu will misunderstand him. He became famous at a young age, so he may not be able to understand the interdependence of blessings and misfortunes, and the benefits of retreating from the rapids."
"That's right. Nowadays, well-known programs in the United States and a lot of reporters want him to be on it. He is an artist himself, so this can be regarded as the highlight of his career. If we say too much, it will be disappointing."
"Let me think about it again, think about it again, I will be transferred back next year. Xu Xiyu is a good pioneer in going overseas to do cultural industry exchanges..." Wang Shan frowned again in the middle of his words.
When the officer next to him saw this, he didn't speak any more.
He knew that he, the leader, admired Xu Xiyu very much, and the leader was worried that Xu Xiyu would be lost here.
If Xu Xiyu had the illusion that he could walk away in the United States, that would be troublesome.
"Boss, we can go sideways in the United States from now on!" Not to mention, this was Shanxinbao's idea at this time. The "heroes" recognized by the people are supported by the old and new commanders. Isn't this going sideways?
But Xu Xiyu was not as excited as Shan Xinbao. Instead, he frowned and said: "Nancy, can I refuse this medal? Anyway, it's just that Lacy is considering it, and it hasn't been decided yet, and it won't be awarded until next month. .”
As soon as these words came out, both Nancy and Shanxinbao opened their eyes wide and asked: "Why?!"
Why else?
Do you still expect to walk sideways in the United States?
This is really want to eat shit.
At the beginning, there was a Chinese reporter on the earth. He also felt that his friend was either the president or the prime minister, so he could leave sideways.
He even felt that our family's Fengjiang was not worthy of being friends with him because his level was too low.
Then what?
Some things should not be taken too seriously. The more serious they are, the more likely things will go wrong.
Xu Xiyu still understands the principle that when cooking oil in a fierce fire, going too far is not enough.
The current situation is already the best. Both his public popularity and public favorability are rising like a rocket.
Including his own work "The Three-Body Problem", it has also been successfully promoted.
I don't need such a useless medal at all.
The United States is different from China. When someone changes their boss, they can completely deny even the policies of their predecessors, let alone the medals given by their predecessors?
Therefore, even if you get this medal, you won't be able to get any preferential treatment when Xu Xiyu's business enters the United States. They will still block you, and maybe they will be even stricter because of this medal.
Thinking of this, Xu Xiyu said again: "Nancy, there are not many media and programs that want to find me now. Please help me push them all."
"Pushed?!" Nancy exclaimed, and then comforted, "Xu, I think I need to remind you that many things are happening in this world every day.
It’s good that you are a hero in California now, but if you don’t accept interviews or participate in programs, your popularity in the United States will be exhausted soon! ”
"After being interviewed and participating in the program, will my popularity in the United States be preserved forever?"
"At least it can be extended a little longer, Xu, you need content other than 'subduing the gunman' to maintain the public's impression of you."
"Isn't there "The Three-Body Problem"?" Shan Xinbao interjected, "Isn't the content of a novel more useful than an interview?"
Nancy clicked her tongue after hearing this, and said helplessly, "Don't overestimate the average education level of Americans. Most people can't understand novels like "The Three-Body Problem" at all.
Therefore, no matter how well your novel is written, it can only affect a small number of people in the middle class and above. You'd better participate in some popular programs, which will help everyone get to know you better. ”
"No, no, my English is not good, I'm afraid of saying the wrong thing." Xu Xiyu refused extremely firmly.
It is really easy to say the wrong thing. If he is caught, he will be a hero today and a bear tomorrow. Don’t underestimate the power of journalism.
After refusing, he made another decision that shocked Nancy: "I will ask someone to go through the formalities for me later, and I will return to China tomorrow."
"Why???!" Nancy said in a long voice.
Then he waved his hands and said: "The Hugo Award will be awarded after the Hugo Award. Even if you don't want to receive the Medal of Freedom, there is no need not to accept the Hugo Award. Everyone knows that the award must be yours."
"Since everyone knows that the award must be mine, it makes no difference whether I keep it or not."
"..." Nancy was speechless by these words.
"Nancy, I know that many viewers now want to see more about me, but the more this happens, the less we can show too much. Only distance can produce beauty. We need to leave blank space when doing things, and we need room for fantasy. ”
"Yes, yes, everything you said is right, who told you otherwise?" Nancy said angrily.
"But what you said makes sense. A novel cannot make everyone remember me better. I really have to leave something for the American audience. Otherwise, it will either be blank or blank."< br>
"What are you going to keep?"
"Last year I wrote a song calling for peace called "One Day". Lu and I recorded a version of this song respectively. I plan to make a MV with images of me in the United States these days and send this song to the United States. People.
The threshold for science fiction novels is high, but the threshold for songs is much lower. Nancy, I am a literary and artistic worker after all. Medals and heroes are all temporary and fictitious.
Only by continuously releasing works can everyone truly remember me, like me, and love me, don’t you think? ”
