Chapter 104 Impersonation Li Daohua just returned home and was preparing to...
Li Daohua had just returned home and was preparing to write the parent's handbook in peace and quiet when she received a call from Ian, saying that her friend's novel "Love You" had found a publisher.
Bedi Group is willing to publish the book "Love You" and is willing to buy the film and television rights of "Love You". They want to film "Love You" as soon as possible.
"How did you introduce it? So quickly?"
It was really fast. From contacting the publishing house to finalizing the film and television rights, it took less than a month, much faster than "Billionaire".
Although this was related to Ian's change in status, her alias was a completely new one, and even Ian didn't know it.
Under such circumstances, Li Daohua is able to publish film and television works in a one-stop manner. He does not think that his works are so excellent.
No matter how excellent a work is, without a mentor, it is easy to remain unknown, especially nowadays.
"Well, it's like this. They are quite special, so they feel that this work is completely tailor-made for them and hope that they can shoot it."
Ian introduced Li Daohua to the companies under the name of Bedi Group, who the senior executives of Bedi Group were, and what the results would likely be if they were filmed.
Li Daohua didn't expect that Ian would actually help her introduce a publishing house in this way.
To be honest, if you ask them to take pictures, they really dare to do so. If it were someone else, they might not dare to do so.
"Okay, then I'll sell it, but the contents inside cannot be modified."
She has some private goods in it, and she will reveal some easter eggs when we do archaeological research later.
Things got out of control after they agreed. Li Daohua knew they were powerful, but she didn't expect them to be so powerful.
After leaving Ian behind, the new alias of Dacongming was handed over to Bedi Group for operation. Soon, all major mainstream media began to report on it.
For a moment, it felt a bit like buying announcements and buying traffic in later generations.
The Bedi Group can mobilize the media that Ian cannot reach, just to create momentum for "Love You".
The name of "Love You" is also very clever. It doesn't have the nouveau riche feeling of the previous "Billionaire". It reveals a kind of literature, taboo, mystery...
The literary world was instantly injected with fresh blood.
When reading, many people did not think too much about it. After all, in foreign countries, many readers cannot reach the level of reading comprehension and can only read superficially.
So in the eyes of many readers, "Love You" is just a melodramatic story without any special meaning, and they don't understand why so many mainstream media recommend this book.
The author of this book is not famous and has not won any awards.
It’s just that they’ve already bought the book, and they’ve already contributed to the sales, so there’s nothing they can do if it’s not as good as “Billionaire.”
It was not until later that the mainstream media took the initiative to write book reviews and analyze the hidden meanings behind the works that many people suddenly realized the truth.
In fact, every country can do reading comprehension, the only difference is the number of people who can do it.
In foreign countries, without higher education, one cannot even do reading comprehension.
They not only do reading comprehension from novels, but also from paintings, sculptures, etc.
Another profound writer emerged and Li Daohua was instantly replaced.
People tend to get tired of the old and love the new, not to mention that Li Daohua is not yet loved by the whole nation. She has both praise and criticism. The emergence of such a newcomer is something many people want to see.
What they didn’t expect was that this person was still Li Daohua.
The reading reviews published by the mainstream media were requested by the Bedi Group, so these reading reviews are completely different from Li Daohua’s real intentions.
The Bedi Group wants the readers to focus on how pitiful the refugees are. They are displaced by various disasters and finally find a place to settle down, but are driven away by the local people.
What did they do wrong? The locals are at fault. From the moment they set foot on this land, these refugees have been part of this land, so it is not the refugees who should leave, but the locals.
What a great reversal of Tiangang.
When Li Daohua saw this reading note, she really wanted to tell them that this is called the Farmer and the Snake!
But she couldn't say it, because her novel was not a serious novel. If she really used the story of the farmer and the snake to remind them, she would be unhappy.
Seeing people she hates suffer is the happiest thing for her. Yes, that's the kind of person she is.
With the promotion of the Bedi Group, the novel was soon translated into multiple languages and sent to various countries for publication.
This book has also been introduced in China. The author is Brullient, yes, the English transliteration of "Great Conscience".
When she first got the book, Li Daohua suspected for a moment that someone had stolen her book. Even if it was just her pseudonym, the author of her book could not be changed to someone else.
After asking Ian, I realized that in China, the English translation of "Da Congming" was directly transliterated as a person's name.
Domestic translation has always been about accuracy, elegance and expressiveness. Often, some plain English words have to be translated into words that have depth and fit the context and content.
Only in a few cases are literal translations used, such as names of people.
The name of the book that Li Daohua got is not "Love You", but "In the Name of Love".
After translating from Chinese to English and then from English to Chinese, Li Daohua almost didn't recognize the book anymore.
All the plain language she wrote was replaced with elegant and concise language. That was not all. Influenced by the mainstream media's book reviews, this version was translated with reference to the opinions of the mainstream media. Therefore, the focus has also changed after translation.
Translation is a subjective job. The translator's hobbies and reference literature will also affect the final product.
When Li Daohua saw the translated book, she felt that this version was not good. Fortunately, there were other versions, so she bought another one. The translation of the other version was quite close to the original text.
Due to some special reasons, the starting point of this novel is much higher than that of Li Daohua's previous novels.
The mainstream media in America personally endorsed the novel and even boldly predicted that the novel would win the Nobel Prize in Literature.
Li Daohua thinks there is no need for that and should let both her and the Nobel Prize in Literature take a break.
Every time she wins an award, she is ready to write a novel to criticize the country she dislikes. If she wins a few more times, she will have no time to rest.
And the Nobel Prize has no dignity? If they give it to people like her every time, maybe they will ban her in the future. Li Daohua and non-humans are not allowed to enter.
It is not the first time that they have imposed special bans on certain behaviors, so they are very familiar with it.
Li Daohua really doesn't want to win any more awards. She is not the same kind of person as that group of people. She doesn't know whether they annoy Li Daohua or not, but Li Daohua really annoys them.
If there is another award speech, she will really curse even more harshly.
After the publication of "Love You", the next step was to make a movie. This time it had nothing to do with Ian and his team, and none of his actors were selected.
Regarding this matter, Ian also complained to Li Daohua that the actors under his company were all carefully selected by him, and they must have both good acting skills and good looks.
Of course, it's not just about looks and acting skills. As long as you are willing to learn and study hard, it doesn't matter how good it is, but getting 6 or 7 points (out of 10) is no problem, provided you are willing to learn and study hard.
The remaining few points depend purely on talent, which cannot be learned.
As a result, one of them was not selected, and he went to see them specially. The family of the selected protagonist... they were all ugly in their own way.
"I used to think that Asians were like those in the movies, but you, Ina, and the people around you, they don't look much different from us. Some even have better bodies, but they choose... you know."
Li Daohua certainly knew that they not only deliberately selected Asian faces with stereotypes, but also put a lot of effort into makeup to deepen the stereotype.
Of course, Li Daohua also had to admit that there was indeed a group of Chinese people who later grew up completely like the stereotypes, which was really amazing.
"It's not just Asians. The family of four they chose, my god, I don't get the feeling from the novel at all. They're not a good family at all, they're a terrible family."
In America, there is also a difference between rich and poor people, and the difference is in body shape.
Rich people have the time and energy to exercise, and they also have the money to eat expensive healthy products such as fruits and vegetables.
The poor can only eat high-calorie, high-sugar fast food products and have no time to exercise. They have to save their time to work.
Li Daohua had no choice. The copyright fee had already been paid, and the penalty for breach of contract was a considerable amount. It was not as simple as her returning the copyright fee.
Moreover...if we take pictures of it like this, wouldn't it be a kind of alternative Easter egg when we do archaeological research in the future?
After finding out that no one recognized it as her alias, Li Daohua could concentrate on writing the "Parents' Handbook". This was also thanks to the transliteration. Not to mention others, even she herself almost didn't recognize it was her alias.
I will use this vest in the future.
The story of the first unit of "Parents' Handbook" is the story of a man. Some modifications were made to expand the tragedy. After the modifications, the man was admitted to Peking University.
In the end, the man was kept secret from his family and stayed in his hometown. It was not until he got married and had children, and the children were old enough to take the college entrance examination, that he learned the sad news from his father's smug mouth.
I am over fifty years old and have long lost my sharpness. Now I have lost all my strength and can only continue to be a mediocre person.
What's even more tragic is that because he failed to get into college, going to college became his obsession. When his child failed to get into college, he made him repeat his grade over and over again.
The child, who was not good at studying, became depressed and almost committed suicide by jumping into the river.
After the man found out that he was admitted to the university only to be deceived by his father, he let go of all his obsessions and stopped tormenting his child. However, after that, there was no more light in his eyes.
"My whole life has been wasted like this..." Ouyang Yuan sighed.
In fact, stories like this are the stories of the real world. Many people who have been deceived only discover the truth after wasting their entire lives, or some may never discover the truth in their entire lives.
"Are there other people who have been impersonated like him?"
"Of course, he is not an isolated case."
There are too many such things happening in this era. Even in another twenty or thirty years, such things will still happen. This is inevitable.
After finishing a unit, Li Daohua published it. A unit had tens of thousands of words, enough to be published in one issue of a journal, or even in two issues.
Knowing how fast Li Daohua writes manuscripts, all of this unit was released, and there is no worry at all that there will be no manuscripts next month.
Whether it is impersonation or going to college, these all stimulate the readers' nerves.
They are all educated people, and many of them have taken the college entrance examination, so they know how important it is to them.
Those who have been admitted to university naturally despise such impostors, while those who have not been admitted to university start to use their brains.
Since someone would impersonate someone else, then if I didn't get into college, could it be that someone else impersonated me? It's not impossible...
"Are you crazy? With your grades, anyone who wants to replace you would be blind and courting death."
A boy with a green beard on his mouth, holding the People's Daily, told his mother his idea. He wanted his mother to go with him to check his college entrance examination results to see if there was any mistake.
If he told his father, his father might have gone with him, but unfortunately, he told his mother.
His father doesn't know his grades, but how could his mother not know? She attends every parent-teacher meeting. How can he have the nerve to say that he got into college because of someone else's identity when his son's grades are so poor?
Could it be heat stroke?
"Mom, please, go and have a look. What if someone impersonates you? This is a lifelong matter. Look at what Teacher Daohua wrote. It may even affect your grandchildren!
You have been unwilling to go, did you sell my admission letter? "
The woman was rolling out dumpling wrappers and preparing to eat dumplings today. When she heard this, she became furious.
After a year, she had calmed down and accepted the fact that her child was not good enough and could not get into university, but now the issue was brought up again.
She picked up the rolling pin and hit him directly, not wanting to hit him too hard: "I told you not to talk nonsense! If you get into college, let alone sell it, I would like to frame it and parade it through the streets every day. Go! Go! When you come back, this matter will be over, and you are not allowed to mention it again!"
The boy then ate happily, and after the meal, they went to check their grades.
As a result, before we even arrived at the place, we saw a long queue that stretched out from the hall and turned a corner.
"Hey, let me ask, what are you guys doing in line?"
"I came with my child to check his college entrance examination results. After reading the Parents' Handbook, I found out that my child's college entrance examination results might have been taken by someone else. How scary is that?"
As the person at the back was talking, the people in front who heard it kept nodding their heads. If they hadn't read the "Parents' Handbook", they really wouldn't have known. It was their dereliction of duty as parents.
"There are so many people..." The woman and her son looked at each other and resigned themselves to starting to line up.
The team was moving very slowly, and was getting longer at the back.
If anyone dares to cut in line, he is doomed and will be scolded by everyone in the line.
The line is not short, and the trend of queue-cutting should not be encouraged.
For 99.99 percent of people, there is no problem with their grades. If they didn't pass the exam, they didn't pass. There is no question of impersonation.
But it is these 0.001 percent of people who are less likely to be discovered.
Not only in Beijing, but also in many places, after seeing the "Parents' Handbook" in the People's Daily, there was a wave of checking college entrance examination scores, and impostors were found in almost every place.
Many universities are also expelling students. These students who impersonate others must be expelled and held accountable for legal consequences.
During the afternoon that the woman and her son were queuing, the education department they were queuing with actually found an impostor. When the news came out, there was an uproar in the queue.
Reading a novel is a different feeling from seeing it with your own eyes. The shock of seeing it with your own eyes is even more shocking.
When the girl who was impersonated was found out, she burst into tears and even needed to be supported by her family members before she could walk. Her family members were also wiping away tears.
They kept saying thank you to Teacher Daohua. If it weren't for Teacher Daohua, they would have been kept in the dark their entire lives.
Seeing this scene, the woman became a little suspicious. Could it be that her son might have been replaced?
When it was their turn, she checked the scores and gave up hope. As expected, there was no replacement. Not only that, her son's grades were among the best. It would be better if he was replaced. At least he wouldn't be so embarrassed.
"It's really unnecessary for me to come here with you. I wasted an entire afternoon and embarrassed myself like this."
"At least it gives you peace of mind. Besides, weren't you worried that I would be replaced by someone else..." The boy's voice became smaller and smaller.
After they left, the line was still very long and staff were already advising them to come back tomorrow.
But who would be willing to do that? This is nothing less than giving them hope again. As long as it is possible, they all want to try it.
Those who discovered that they had been impersonated soon became the subject of interviews in newspapers across the country. This was big news, involving not just an ordinary college entrance examination failure, but also a host of related stakeholders.
These people whose identities were impersonated were of different ages. Although the college entrance examination was resumed less than ten years ago, the ages of those who took the college entrance examination varied greatly during these ten years.
Especially in the first two years, many of the candidates were older, and they were students who were delayed because of going to the countryside.
In the last few years, the students were much younger and the age gap between the same class also narrowed a lot.
She had known about the impersonation cases before, but Li Daohua added another possibility, that is, it was kept secret by her own family members.
This resulted in a large number of people checking their scores this time, and they no longer trusted anyone and even began to doubt themselves.
The situation of one of them was almost exactly the same as what was described in Li Daohua's book.
He was an older young man and got married when he went to the countryside. His father-in-law and his family were worried that he would abandon his wife and children, as such educated youth had already appeared in the village before.
He used his connections to give his admission letter to someone else without telling him.
He had fought hard for the opportunity to go to college, but he failed. He could only focus on supporting his family. Over the past ten years, he has been urging his children to do the right thing.
It was not until he read the "Parent's Handbook" that he decided to give it a try.
He doesn't know what to do now. It's been nearly ten years and he has forgotten all the knowledge he learned. If he takes the exam again, he is afraid he will not pass.
But he couldn't swallow this and lived at home like this. He even felt extremely disgusted with his own children.
