Chapter 501 Everyone in the world knows you
That night, Chen Linfeng lay on the big bed in the hotel, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
I always recall the process of recording the program in the studio.
I wonder if there was a better way to say it at the time, and whether it would be better if I changed my perspective.
My mind was in turmoil.
He knew that he was still somewhat affected by the reputation of the Nobel Prize.
Falling into a deep sleep.
The next day, Chen Linfeng woke up with excitement. He looked at his phone and found that it was only 9 am.
And no one took the initiative to call to inquire. This was very different from the past when the phone calls kept coming after big news broke.
Only then did he realize that it took time for other people's programs to be broadcast, and it was impossible to release them immediately the next day.
Chen Linfeng suddenly relaxed and fell asleep quickly, not waking up until noon.
After washing up, I invited Sister Mei to have dinner with me.
I noticed that she seemed tired.
Chen Linfeng understood, thinking that she didn't sleep well either.
While the two were eating, a phone call came over.
When Chen Linfeng saw it, it was Alex. He gestured to Sister Mei with his cell phone, and then answered the call.
As soon as he came up, Alex asked in a surprised tone,
"Chen, in the program recorded yesterday, you clearly rejected the Nobel Prize Committee?"
"It seems you already know?" Chen Linfeng's tone was calm.
After a deep sleep in the morning, it seemed that people's entire mentality had relaxed, and Chen Linfeng no longer cared about yesterday's choice at all.
"Yes, I understand. After all, I am the one who contacted us about this program. I know Karen Holden, the producer of the program."
"That's right."
"Chen," Alex asked hesitantly, "can I ask you why?"
"The main reason is what I said in the show. I don't like to get involved in politics, and I don't have the ambition to be in the direction of serious literature."
"What you think makes sense, but we are now in the early stages of launching a new book. Will this show have a bad impact after it is broadcast?"
Chen Linfeng frowned and said, "The media should increase the intensity of reprinting and reporting. It is equivalent to increasing publicity. How can there be a negative impact?"
"I'm talking about literary critics and literary writers. These people have a lot of influence in the physical publishing industry."
"Well, is that so..."
Chen Linfeng pondered for a moment, and then said, "Then find a way to do some targeted actions."
Alex perked up, "How?"
"Literary critics and more traditional literary authors have a relatively narrow range of information.
I need you to mention more about the aspects of traditional newspapers and literary magazines that I mentioned in the program that you don’t want to be affected by politics. ”
"Yeah... no problem."
"At the level of public opinion such as social platforms, it mainly exaggerates. I attach great importance to the development of popular literature and the aspect of popular entertainment."
Chen Linfeng smiled and said, "I mentioned these contents in the program."
"I think taking quotes out of context and one-sided propaganda is your specialty."
Alex yelled, "Chen, you have misunderstood us."
Chen Linfeng was surprised, "Can't you, Warner Bros., do it?"
"That's not true," Alex sneered, "mainly we don't do it often."
"It's weird that I believed it."
Alex was secretly shocked, how come this Chen seemed to know this better than us.
But it's really a good idea.
He didn't say any more and quickly hung up the phone.
This program is indeed a black swan event, but as Chen said, it is indeed very conducive to the sale of new books.
It just so happened that the show wouldn't be aired for a few days, which gave him room to show off.
Alex was full of energy and decided to put this matter into good use.
After listening to the whole process, Sister Mei asked in surprise, "Xiao Feng, is this the type of information cocoon you mentioned before?"
"Those critics and authors may have completely different views because of Warner's targeted propaganda."
Chen Linfeng nodded, "It's almost the same, but with the blessing of algorithms in the future, the power of this information cocoon will be further increased."
He briefly described it and then commented, "Which type of statement you believe in will continue to see similar examples, and then you will become more and more convinced."
Sister Mei couldn't help but sigh, "It is said that we are in an era of information explosion, but maybe because of too much information, our thoughts are imprisoned."
"Yes, the world is so absurd."
……
The time has come to late March.
After the recording of "World Book Club", there is only one talk show in London left in Europe and the United States.
After Chen Linfeng quickly finished recording, he set off directly to return to China.
Warner also arranged some promotions in Asia, with the focus still being on China,
He just took the opportunity to return to his country.
Yanjing Airport, after getting off the plane.
He was surprised to find Bureau Zhao from the film bureau waiting with a few people who looked like officials.
Chen Linfeng stepped forward and said hello, "Bureau Zhao, who are you waiting for?"
Director Zhao was talking quietly with those people. When he heard the sound, he looked back and said in surprise,
"Hey, Xiao Chen, you're back, we're here to welcome you."
"Director Zhao is joking, what can I welcome?"
"Hey, you are so humble," Director Zhao smiled brightly, walked over and whispered, "There are more than just these people coming, there are also leaders behind us."
Then, he led Chen Linfeng and his party to the reception room of the airport.
I introduced him to several people in the reception room, including leaders from the film bureau, leaders from the National Museum, and leaders from the Cultural Center.
Because Bureau Zhao was familiar with Chen Linfeng, he was the one who picked him up just now.
One of the leaders, according to Director Zhao, should be the director of Wenhuakou, surnamed Li.
He held Chen Linfeng's hand eagerly and shook it a few times.
"Comrade Xiao Chen, you have made great contributions to the country. It's not you. Our rat-headed and rabbit-headed people don't know when they can return to the motherland."
"Boss, you are wrong," Chen Linfeng said seriously, "It is only when the country becomes stronger and others take a fancy to our market that we return the animal heads. I cannot be greedy for God's credit."
"Comrade Xiao Chen is just too humble."
Director Li's smile became even warmer, "Let me tell you, among those engaged in literature and art, you, Xiao Chen, have the most upright heart. You are worthy of being the idol of young people in the new era."
"Yeah, yeah."
"We have also heard about Xiao Chen's character. It has long been known by word of mouth."
Several other leaders agreed.
The ecstasy soup almost knocked Chen Linfeng unconscious.
A series of good words followed until Director Li spoke again.
This leader is still very talented.
He knew that Chen Linfeng had just taken a flight all the way and was tired of traveling and traveling.
Therefore, I sympathized with him for his hard work, and specifically explained that today was just a simple greeting.
We’ll discuss the specific business matters tomorrow.
Chen Linfeng didn't object. He was indeed quite tired.
When I got home, as soon as I opened the door, I saw Qiqian coming out to greet me with a sweet smile, and there was a little Yunmiao squatting next to me.
"The salary is so high today." Chen Linfeng handed over the bag in his hand, and then squatted down to rub the cat twice.
Xiaoyunmiao soon became impatient and ran away.
"That means giving preferential treatment to heroes."
"The Walking Dead is over?"
"Yeah, we just finished filming last week."
Chen Linfeng asked curiously, "Is there a tendency for Gelin to die in the third season?"
Liu Qianqian sighed, "No, if nothing else happens, it will probably take several seasons."
"Then the relationship is good, and I have a long-term meal ticket."
"What's so good? If I don't finish my drama soon, when will I be able to live a leisurely life of one drama a year?"
She screamed, "I don't want that kind of thing!"
"Haha, I still want salted fish, so come roll it with your husband and me."
After Chen Linfeng was reborn, one of his proudest things was turning Liu Qianqian, a salty fish, into a dedicated employee.
In your previous life, after "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", when it was the most popular and most watched, you stayed out of the spotlight for a few years.
Don't even think about it in this life. At most, we can retire a few years earlier.
When I got home, I took a hot bath and then fell asleep with my sweet-smelling and soft wife in my arms.
When he woke up the next day, Chen Linfeng was resurrected with full blood and in excellent condition.
In the morning, as agreed with several leaders yesterday, he came to the film bureau and explained in detail the donation of animal heads.
I didn’t take too much credit.
Chen Linfeng generally described the process.
It was said that Henry Pino met him at a banquet and directly mentioned the return of the animal head.
The requests made by the Pino family, such as making public donations and having a donation ceremony, etc., were all reported in detail.
Although several leaders had roughly known some of the situation before, they still couldn't help but be a little surprised.
They knew about the auction of animal heads in 2009.
The price is also clear, 31 million euros, approximately 250 million RMB.
After spending so much money, I just gave it to Chen Linfeng for his sake.
This makes people feel sad that China has finally produced a star of this level.
In the past, we always heard that wealthy people from abroad spend thousands of dollars on a certain international star. Today, the protagonist is finally replaced by a Chinese star.
As for what Xiao Chen said, it was for Hua Guo's sake.
No one present believed it and could not believe it.
Director Li said directly, "Xiao Chen, this is your contribution, and we will say so to the outside world."
At the same time, this is also a symbol of the development of China's cultural industry and the further improvement of cultural influence.
No one can change this main tone!
Several other leaders nodded.
That's right, that's right.
They took turns giving Chen Linfeng ideological lessons and doing work to help him understand this truth.
In fact, Chen Linfeng already understood it later.
Sure enough, he has demands, and so do these leaders. For Wenhuakou, the return of a cultural relic is important but not unimportant.
Achievements are what matters!
Obviously, creating a new international superstar belonging to China in the new era, as a cultural business card for external export, is where political achievements lie.
Chen Linfeng did not expect that Wenhua Kou, who was always known for being conservative, would engage in such a saucy operation.
He was somewhat confused before, feeling that the formation was a bit too big.
After all, it is just a return of cultural relics, so there is no need for people with cultural proficiency to take action.
And they even went to the airport to pick people up specifically for this purpose.
Chen Linfeng is not belittling himself. Although he has several companies with great potential, they are not fully developed yet, and their status is actually unequal.
You must ask for something when you are polite, but I didn't expect it to be for this.
However, it is too early to talk about this now. The most important thing now is to hold the donation return ceremony first.
There have been precedents for this kind of thing before, and the procedures and everything are well prepared.
Chen Linfeng didn't think much and just followed.
Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!
At most, more media resources can be added in the later publicity process.
He then contacted Henry Pino to inform him of the specific situation.
Henry was quite happy, because he obviously felt respected and his treatment was quite high.
In early April, the donation ceremony was successfully held.
Chen Linfeng also appeared in the ceremony as a middleman.
He received two animal heads from Henry, and then handed them over to the museum staff one by one.
That evening, Xinwen Broadcast broadcast relevant news footage.
The report not only mentioned the historical significance of the animal head, but also specifically mentioned the French Pinault family and its descendants who chose to return the animal head to China because of their friendly relationship with Chen Linfeng.
All aspects have been taken care of.
Many local TV stations, various newspapers, official media, etc. have reproduced relevant news.
In terms of online social platforms, the news that the Pinault family returned the animal head because of Chen Linfeng immediately became a hot search topic.
"Is Fengshen such a big name now? Are overseas fans chasing stars to this extent?"
"This old family is still awesome, and they are so willing to spend money to chase stars."
"After spending more than 200 million, I feel like this Pinault family is comparable to some big dog owners."
"The most important thing is that chasing stars in Xinwen Network can be regarded as a skill."
"I have heard of examples of rich people in Southeast Asia spending a lot of money for Brother Feng. Now that this happened, those who spent money to buy peripherals and book tickets suddenly felt low."
"There's no need to push back. After all, money is spent. It's just that I didn't spend the money in the right way before. Next time, I hope to learn from the Pinault family's method and buy those cultural relics. Chen Linfeng will definitely be very happy."< br>
"My enemy, this is called effective star chasing."
"The two people upstairs have such a good idea, the abacus is almost falling on my face."
"..."
Some celebrities in the entertainment industry felt a little confused after hearing the news.
No, have all fans of the show reached this level now?
It is true that Director Chen, who has many legends in the industry, has reached a level beyond our reach.
Many new celebrity artists who have emerged in the past two years have never met Chen Linfeng in person, and they rely on others to tell stories to understand him.
As for Chen Linfeng in the story, to be honest, he is a bit less human.
Of course, this was a joke among his friends.
But seriously speaking, counting his achievements, it really doesn't feel like something a human being can do.
In the past few days in early April, the conflict between Zhen and Zhao had just ended, and there were no major events in the entertainment industry.
Therefore, everyone discussed the matter of returning the animal head for several days.
Until the 7th, which is the first weekend of April.
The broadcast of a BBC reading talk program was like a thunderous explosion.
On the evening of April 7, the "World Book Club" column of the British BBC TV station was broadcast.
Chen Linfeng was invited to appear as an interview guest.
The first part is okay, but in the second half, the content about the Nobel Prize in Literature really explodes.
Almost everyone watching felt as if they had traveled through time and space and arrived at last week's April Fool's Day.
How could anyone refuse a Nobel Prize?
This is not just a casual talk, it is announced on a public platform, and the Nobel Prize Committee will really take it seriously.
The influence of the Nobel Prize in the West goes without saying.
That night, the video of rejecting the Nobel Prize spread wildly on social platforms in Europe.
Soon, netizens in the beautiful country also knew about it.
The next day, the British "Guardian";
French "Le Monde";
Beautiful country "Los Angeles Times" and so on.
Many media outlets reported relevant news by reprinting or commenting on it.
Of course, because we haven’t interviewed the person involved yet, we don’t know the specific situation. The news at this time is not front-page headlines, but is only presented in the form of short messages.
But this was enough to trigger the first wave of public opinion.
Discussions about this are particularly intense online.
"Are Chen crazy? That's the Nobel Prize!"
"Wow, cool, Chen is so cool. What's wrong with Nobel? He just wants to reject everything we can't stand!"
"I have to say that Chen is indeed very courageous. I hope he will not regret it in the future."
"Maybe you know you can't win the Nobel Prize, so you use this to gain attention? I think this is a clown's behavior."
"You are the clown upstairs. How could Chen be trying to get attention? With his current achievements, there is no need to do this."
"Indeed, as long as Chen develops step by step, he does not need a Nobel Prize. He is also a top writer, director and actor in the world. Nobel is not as important to him as he imagined."
"Upstairs, you forgot about the screenwriter. He is also the top screenwriter. Oh, it's crazy to think about it. How did Chen do all this?"
"It's crazy that someone would dare to refuse a Nobel."
"These are the young people of the new era who question everything and deny everything."
"I think Nobel officials will not let him go."
"..."
There are all kinds of things on the Internet, but just the title "Nobel Rejection" is enough for everyone to discuss it with gusto.
The Internet around the world is well understood. Although there is a wall in China, there are still a large number of netizens who circumvent the wall.
They were shocked when they saw the news that Chen Linfeng rejected the Nobel Prize.
I even thought it was some kind of prank or a unique joke from foreign countries.
But after watching the video, I no longer think so.
A large number of netizens who circumvented the firewall reposted the relevant videos domestically.
In fact, at this time, the domestic media also got a taste of it and began to reprint relevant news.
Soon, from online to offline, the entire public opinion exploded.
No, why?
Why did Xiao Chen refuse the Nobel Prize for Literature?
This was the first reaction of people in China who saw the news.
In the video, the two factors given by Chen Linfeng include what Harriet later posted on Twitter and what Chen Linfeng answered after the program was finished.
At this time, it was already known to the domestic public.
But everyone still doesn’t understand.
People simply don’t care about these disputes over political and literary lines.
China's first Nobel Prize is real.
On the contrary, what Harriet posted on Twitter is more understandable.
I don’t want to be represented by the Nobel Prize. Rejecting the Nobel Prize represents my own personality and I am confident that my future achievements will exceed the height of the Nobel Prize.
This sounds like Chen Linfeng's main purpose.
After all, he is a young man. If he becomes distracted by his long-term success, he might actually be able to refuse the Nobel Prize.
Various opinions and opinions in the country are chaotic and complicated, and the entire entertainment and literary circles are in a state of complete chaos.
The literary world is the most explosive.
They are most intolerant of political theory and line theory. In their opinion, the theory of pride is nonsense.
That's a Nobel, not some cat or dog.
Many authors and literary critics came forward to speak, saying that Chen Linfeng's actions were thoughtless and that he should have thought more before speaking.
Why don't we just apologize quickly and see if we can get the Nobel Committee's forgiveness.
Domestic and foreign media are certainly not satisfied with just reprinting a video or making a simple report.
They want to dig deeper into the inside story here.
Soon, a large number of calls came to Sister Mei, and the official phone numbers of Qilin and Long Lin were also overwhelmed.
Everyone wants to interview the real owner.
In addition, some related news has also been picked up by the powerful media.
The Nobel Prize adheres to a strict confidentiality system, and the list of nominees will not be published.
The easiest thing to use as a reference is the Nobel Prize odds list published by gaming companies other than the official one.
It turns out that Chen Linfeng has been on the odds list since 2009.
In the past few years, he has been on the list, and his odds have been declining year by year.
It shows that bookmakers are increasingly optimistic about him winning the prize.
This makes the domestic media feel more and more regretful.
Why do you refuse?
Many domestic authors deplore it deeply, feeling that a man who is full does not know that a man who is hungry is hungry.
If you don't want it, you can give it to me.
The French media found Cleoch, who was mentioned in the program as recommending Chen, and interviewed him to ask his opinion.
"I think it's a pity that Chen has good intentions in wanting to avoid political influence, but some of him stopped eating because of choking."
"Don't you think he failed in your kindness?"
Cleocci laughed in front of the camera, "Haha, this is not a disappointment. As long as he continues to move forward on the path of writing, it is a good thing. Whether he has the Nobel Prize or not, it is the same."
"And I quite agree with what he said. The Nobel Prize cannot define a person. If Chen has confidence, he can definitely cross the Nobel Prize and go higher."
All I can say is that after winning the Nobel Prize, I was not afraid of offending the committee and spoke forcefully.
But in any case, after the release of Cleoch's interview, it somewhat helped Chen Linfeng relieve the pressure.
The current public opinion situation reminds him of the scene when he rejected Yan University and Shuimu University after the college entrance examination.
How similar!
And this time the scale is even larger, spreading from the whole country to the world.
At worst, it would be the entire Northern Hemisphere.
No one in the world doesn’t know you!
