Chapter 92: Joint Award Winner Li Daohua's name is now...
Li Daohua's name is now a golden signboard and does not need much publicity, especially in China.
When "Time Siege" was just released, many people were wondering how it could be done, and what kind of country could achieve unity from top to bottom.
Because in "Time Besieged", Li Daohua did not write what the country was called, but simply used "Country A" instead.
The other countries start from B and go all the way back. The further back a country is, the worse its performance during the epidemic.
One advantage of doing this is that it saves you from having to argue.
China is not yet very good. Not only other countries, but China itself is also aware of its own shortcomings and knows that it lags far behind, so it has been working hard to catch up.
Unlike some countries, which are not only not excellent, but also fail to recognize the reality and are the best at deceiving themselves.
When Ian got the translation, he also had this question, which country is the country A here.
When A, B, C, and D are translated as pronouns, they are represented by ABCD after translation.
After learning that there was no specific country, but that this country represented the country that did the best during the epidemic, Ian said: "A must stand for America!"
Facts are facts, and hype is hype. As the light of the West, the new beacon, America's external image management is completely at the ceiling level.
Even the ordinary people in their country firmly believe that their country is the leader and no one can do anything about it.
At this time there is still someone who can fight back, but when this person who can fight back is gone, they will become even more crazy.
In their minds, their country may be in chaos and their government may be bad, but other countries are definitely worse than them!
In some ways, this can be considered a logical closed loop. Especially in an era when information was underdeveloped, there was no way to break this kind of magical logic.
"A is the translation. I wrote A, which means the first. It's not some random thing. You can tell by the country B at the end."
"We are number one, isn't that what it means?"
Li Daohua refused to let Ian change A to America, so Ian had no choice but to print it this way.
But it is obvious that despite Li Daohua's rebuttal, Ian continued printing as usual, and it did not prevent others from thinking the same way as Ian.
After reading this novel, American readers will identify with their own country.
Li Daohua's reputation in America began to reverse, and people who previously thought that Li Daohua was a bad person also began to praise Li Daohua.
As long as you praise our country, we will recognize you and you are qualified to enter our eyes.
However, some people who originally liked Li Daohua no longer like her. They think that she has changed. Li Daohua, who has lost her courage, is not worthy of being called a warrior.
People who used to think that Li Daohua could only write commercial novels now think that Li Daohua has finally made progress and is no longer only able to write commercial novels, but can also write novels with depth.
This is a misunderstanding of Li Daohua. She only writes commercial novels, and she only does so in America. After all, in countries with serious commercialization, commercial novels are more popular.
As a winner of the Nebula Award, other countries have also introduced this book "Time Siege".
Who knows, this book might win another prize.
The issue of copyright fees is not static. The better the novel and the more famous the author, the higher the copyright fee, because such authors' works will never have trouble selling.
Not only the works, but other related derivative products will also have no problems with sales and the profits are considerable.
It is time to get the copyright of this book before it wins the award, to avoid price hikes and more competitors.
When Ian received so many contacts wanting to buy the copyright, he suddenly realized that this book might win an award soon.
In capitalist countries, industry bosses usually have internal connections and inside information, and their families are also entangled with each other.
There is an original version of Li Daohua's novel, which is the Chinese version. Other versions may have more or less inaccuracies due to translation and cultural factors of different countries.
However, the translation effect in Asia, especially in the East Asian cultural circle, should be much better than that in the West.
The strange thing is that when translating, no one followed Li Daohua's original intention. A, B, C, and D translated it, but according to ABCD.
A can be changed at will. For example, in the Japanese translation, Country A is Country J, and in the English translation, Country A is Country B...
Everyone translates it according to the way A stands for America.
The translation of America is Country A, and they are other English alphabet countries, which is normal.
As for the worst country, there are many countries that are very unified, such as Country S.
As for Country S, they are not stupid either. They would of course do the opposite. More importantly, the current situation in their country is not very good, and it is indeed time for all the people to unite as one.
Purchasing the copyright of this novel also has a certain mission. I hope that after reading the novel, the people can understand the current situation of the country.
If we can get through it, everyone will be happy. If we can't, then everyone may be doomed.
In short, everyone feels that if their country really encounters such a danger, their country will be like the one in the novel.
Even if it is not, it doesn’t matter. There is a ready-made tutorial. You can just copy it.
If I can’t figure out the answer myself, how can I copy the answer?
There was a heated debate in the newspapers about which country the novel was about, and even India stood up and said that only a big country like its own could do that.
Li Daohua said that this is a science fiction novel. In her opinion, no country today can achieve the mobilization power described in the novel.
She was absolutely right. Let’s not talk about anything else, just take the medical field. Even in China, which created this miracle, there is no way to replicate the miracle of the future at present.
The truth is that the industry is still very weak and there is still a long way to go.
However, Li Daohua's novel has served as a wake-up call to some far-sighted countries.
Science fiction films like "The Walking Dead" may not appear, but "Time Siege" is really possible.
From ancient times to the present, similar infectious diseases have appeared, such as plague and the Black Death...
Every time it appears, it takes away a large number of people, and the country is severely damaged.
If new, similar infectious diseases emerge in the future, then whether they have the ability to resist the risks and whether they can withstand the overseas epidemic while stabilizing the domestic situation is a question that needs to be considered.
While Ian was promoting Li Daohua as usual, he was also diligently marketing the Nobel Prize in Literature nomination every year.
The media are no longer keen on reporting on this. Li Daohua is nominated every year, but she is not the one announced every year.
Her novels are indeed popular, but popularity is not the criterion for winning the Nobel Prize in Literature.
Anyway, as long as the Nobel Prize in Literature has not been announced, Li Daohua is nominated. Once it is announced, she will be a narrow loser.
As a result, the status of the Nobel Prize in Literature in Asia has been declining, and it is no longer as high-ranking as before.
When talking about the Nobel Prize in Literature, the first reaction is not how authoritative or powerful it is, but how many times Li Daohua has been a runner-up.
During this promotion, suddenly, the media began to report on Li Daohua extensively.
Some of the media outlets are not something Ian can contact. They are wealthy and powerful people who don't have to worry about giving money, and Ian's budget is simply not enough to cover them.
"What the hell? Nobel Prize?"
Ian was so busy that he even forgot that yesterday was the day the Nobel Prize in Literature was announced.
He was busy negotiating copyright fees and dealing with the company's actors, and recently he recruited several outstanding actors.
When it comes to marketing Li Daohua, he has become very proficient with practice. He doesn't need to pay too much attention to it and can just follow the previous process. The partners also know what to do, so he doesn't need to worry about their ability to take action. They can make money after all.
I just read the newspaper and found out that there are two winners of this year's Nobel Prize, and Li Daohua is one of them.
He has been marketing Li Daohua's "Billionaire", but the outstanding work of Li Daohua nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature is "Time Besieged" which was just published this year.
As for humanistic care, the content inside meets their cultural needs and external publicity, and winning awards makes it easier for them to brainwash.
Ian was stunned. Neither he nor Li Daohua had ever thought about winning the Nobel Prize.
Look at who have won the Nobel Prize before, and then look at Li Daohua. The two are simply two extremes.
Li Daohua is too young. She must be at least 40 years old. Previous winners were all older.
Li Daohua's award directly reduced the minimum age by nearly half.
Ian thought it was a false news, and there were similar false news stories. After checking, he found out that it was actually true.
After being stunned for a long time, he came to his senses and immediately called Li Daohua to tell her the good news.
Ian didn't even need to tell her, Li Daohua already knew it.
Although there is not much contact between China and foreign countries, the mainstream media still keeps a close eye on such global activities.
Not to mention, Li Daohua has a criminal record and is often nominated. Although the hope is slim, what if?
Unexpectedly, if it really happened and Li Daohua really won the award, the domestic mainstream media would immediately start reporting it nationwide.
This time it is not a nomination, but a real award. Who else is the youngest winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature?
While the newspaper was arranging the front-page headline, it also called Li Daohua to celebrate.
That day, the phone at Li Daohua's house never stopped ringing, and calls kept coming in.
Even when they couldn't get through, everyone kept on calling, determined to congratulate Li Daohua in person.
Editors who live close to Li Daohua's home and know where she is can go directly to her home to congratulate her.
The whole alley is jammed with traffic and bicycles.
The alley near her house is not narrow, and two cars can pass side by side without any problem, but it was blocked like this, which shows how many people came.
