Chapter 52 Nobel Prize Nomination Because it is a series, you can't read it all at once...
Because it is a serial, you can't read it all in one go. After "The Walking Dead" became popular, the newspaper also became popular.
Ian was busy looking for a company to film and bring along the actors from his own company.
In some ways, the actors under Ian can be said to have brought money into the crew.
The heroine of "The Walking Dead" has blonde hair, and all the actresses dyed their hair.
Although in everyone's impression, foreigners have blonde hair and blue eyes, but in fact such standard blonde hair and blue eyes are very rare, most people rely on hair dyeing and wigs to maintain blonde hair.
Many people even stay addicted for life.
Fortunately, with the help of funding and the actress' own efforts, she was able to successfully secure the female lead role in "The Walking Dead".
The next step was to prepare for the first film of “The Walking Dead”. Li Daohua wrote about the walking dead very clearly, so they didn’t even need to think too much and could directly draw the special effects costumes according to the description in the novel.
"Left hand six? Right hand seven? Draw a circle with left foot and kick with right foot?" The director got the little trick from Ian and didn't quite understand what it meant.
"That's it." Ian said as he did it. With his crooked mouth and slanted eyes, he didn't look like a normal person.
The director immediately understood that these little tricks were specifically taught to the zombies.
Since they are zombies, they must be distinguished from normal people, not only in appearance but also in actions, and they must be as scary as possible.
In addition to the left and right hand tricks, there are other little tricks, all of which are very practical. When combined with the special effects costumes, even he, who watched how the zombies were made, gasped.
With a "bang", the director slammed the table and Ian was startled. He didn't know what was wrong with the director.
The director said mysteriously: "Halloween is in two months. We will take the crew to participate in Halloween activities and then film them for publicity!"
"With the acting skills of these zombie actors, this Halloween will definitely be extraordinarily exciting, and this scene can also be used directly in the movie!"
Directors are always applauding their own creative ideas. With this promotional method, their films will not lack topics even before they are released.
He has seen the most recent "Dawn of the Dead" which was filmed four years ago. It is no exaggeration to say that he feels that the walking corpses and the living dead they filmed do not seem to be the same species.
When the filming was taking place, nearby residents also saw the actors dressed up as the living dead, but they were not frightened.
If it weren't for the atmosphere created by the movie, just watching the actors wouldn't make people feel like they were there.
Not far away, the actors playing the walking dead are still receiving training, and they want to be the best they can be.
Moreover, the little tips that Ian brought gave him an idea. He also wanted to shoot a zombie movie in the form of a pseudo-documentary, which would definitely be a hit.
"I love Rice Flower, she is a genius!" Of course, he was talking about the little tips she gave him.
"But I don't think she can win the Nobel Prize in Literature. You know, she is from the University of Tokyo. It's a pity. Maybe she can immigrate here. I think our country should not reject such an outstanding talent."
The director also wanted to discuss the matter with Li Daohua in person, perhaps the two of them could work together to create the best Walking Dead movie.
"She already has a husband, and her husband is young and handsome." Ian joked. He certainly knew that the love the director was talking about was not that kind of love.
What the director mentioned about the Nobel Prize in Literature was something Ian had thought about before.
It is true that there are nominations for the Nobel Prize in Literature, but the nomination list published in society is pure nonsense.
The Nobel Prize nomination regulations stipulate that there is a fifty-year confidentiality period. The so-called nomination list in society is actually a so-called nomination compiled by the media based on the annual odds list.
Things like someone being nominated or someone being nominated for many consecutive years are purely imaginary. The other party may not even have been nominated but was just on the odds list, and this odds list is much more operational.
What Ian meant by nomination was to allow Li Daohua to be on the odds list and receive media coverage.
He also bought a small amount of Li Daohua, otherwise it would not look good to be on the list. He felt that if he did not take action, it would be difficult for Li Daohua to get to the front.
That doesn't matter. Their original purpose is not to win awards or rank high, but just to have such a title.
"You also know that she's on the odds list?"
"Ian, you really don't pay enough attention to your friend. There's a lot of noise in the newspapers right now. She's already ranked 25th, and it looks like she may even rise higher. The impact of Billions is beyond your imagination."
"Billionaire" is the name of the movie version of "Everything I've Ever Done on Wall Street".
Since the movie version was broadcast, the name of the novel was changed to "Billionaire".
Some people may not know about "Once Upon a Time in Wall Street", but almost everyone knows "Billionaire".
The newspaper that serialized "The Walking Dead" first reported that Li Daohua, also known as Rice Flower, was on the odds list in order to better promote "The Walking Dead".
Soon, other newspapers followed suit like sharks smelling blood.
Since no one can interview Rice Flower anyway, let's start from this aspect to gain popularity.
It is generally recognized that Rice Flower's masterpiece is "Billionaire", and the subsequent "18 Again" and "The Walking Dead" can only be regarded as successful novels.
The analysis and clever use of economics in "How to Make Money and Billionaires" makes it not just a novel, but also an economic enlightenment book for many people.
You know, economics is a boring academic subject, not only because the textbooks are boring, but also because many people find it difficult to master and successfully apply it even if they have learned it.
"Billionaire" successfully solved some of the problems. With the popularity of "Billionaire", it also boosted the sales of some economics works.
Therefore, other newspapers also mentioned Rice Flower's works when reporting, believing that if she was nominated or even won the award, it would definitely be because of "Billionaire".
Media publicity has made more people pay attention to this new writer who has only emerged in the past two years. Not only America, but other countries have also begun to publish "Billionaire".
With the help of this favorable trend, "Billionaire" became popular again, and the copyright fees in other languages brought Li Daohua another income.
When Li Daohua received the payment from Ian, she was shocked, thinking that "The Walking Dead" was selling so well and America loved this serialized novel so much.
Later I found out that this was brought about by the previous "Billionaire". Now more than ten countries have translated this novel and published it successfully, and the sales seem to be good.
Once they release the news of its translation into multiple countries, and even the news of its Nobel Prize nomination, many other countries will subsequently translate and publish the book.
This is a virtuous cycle.
Li Daohua recalled that it was indeed the case in the past. Not to mention other countries, even in China, one could make a fortune.
The news of being on the odds list has not yet been transmitted back to China. At this moment, communication between China and abroad is still very underdeveloped, and a lot of information is multi-handed. By the time it reaches China, no one knows how many times it has been passed on.
She could remind Liang Ning to be prepared in advance, as the copyright of "Adventures on Wall Street" was still in the hands of Peking Literature.
In the past two years, they have mainly sold trilogies. The market is close to saturation, and the number of new sales each year is not large. The number of prints they commission each year is limited.
When Liang Ning received the call and heard that it was suggested to print more copies of Adventures in Wall Street, he said excitedly: "Teacher Daohua! Did you also hear that you were nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature?
The publishing house is now urging the printing house, you are the youngest Nobel Prize nominee in our country!"
"Did Li Ziran tell you?" Li Daohua knew it after a quick thought. After graduation, Dennis returned to America to help Ian, and Li Ziran was assigned to Peking Text.
This is a very good assignment for Li Ziran. Under normal circumstances, college students like them would be assigned back to their registered places of residence after graduation.
Li Ziran's family is from Guizhou Province. It would be great for him to go back and build his hometown, but his hometown is really poor. After he was admitted to university, his whole family hoped that he could get out of the mountains, and even bring the whole family out of the mountains.
Li Ziran has really done it now.
Li Daohua did not tell Liang Ning that this was just a marketing strategy of Ian. She was not actually interested in the Nobel Prize. Later, there were more and more jokes about the Nobel Prize, and the value of the prize became lower and lower, and even the previous winners became a joke.
Once this kind of marketing starts, Li Daohua will not be able to stop it. The surging crowd will carry her forward.
After Peking Literature was fully prepared, news came back from Hong Kong that Li Daohua was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature.
Hong Kong has not yet returned to China, but that does not prevent them from celebrating together. In fact, the Nobel Prize, as a means of cultural control by the West, has been sought after in Asia for a long time.
This type of nomination is no longer limited to a certain country, but has even expanded to the entire Asia.
In this day and age, whenever an Asian author is nominated, it makes people extremely happy and feel genuinely proud.
Now, Li Daohua has been nominated, and it is said that there is a great possibility of winning the award. How can this not make people excited?
In particular, looking at the entire nomination list, Li Daohua is one of the youngest. Not only is she young, but she is also one of the few female writers among them.
Women in the country can hold up half the sky and start to play a role.
Almost all newspapers began to promote Li Daohua, and they were all full of praise, from Li Daohua's first work to her most recent work.
From Li Daohua's works to the way he deals with people, in a word, Li Daohua deserves the nomination.
It is even possible that she will directly win the Nobel Prize in Literature.
