Chapter 1500 Booker Prize
Xu Xuan left Wei Hanmin's home.
Yue Minglan also left, leaving only Wei Xizhen and Wei Hanmin.
Wei Hanmin looked at the embarrassed Wei Xizhen and sighed: "Actually, Xu Xuan is right. Things like connections and favors are the most illusory, but they do exist. Today, Xu Xuan used his own name to What benefit will it bring to Xu Xuan by asking Anthony to sign a contract with you?"
"You always use your righteousness to suppress others. Have you ever thought that this is also your own selfish desire?"
Wei Xizhen's eyes widened when he heard this: "Selfish desires?"
She worked diligently to export Chinese culture, but when it came to Wei and Han people, this turned into selfish desires?
Wei Hanmin nodded and asked: "Then have you ever thought about the fact that Chinese Film and Television, including you Wei Xizhen, have contributed to Chinese culture for so many years, and has Xu Xuan made more contributions in the past three years?"
Wei Xizhen was stunned on the spot.
It was like an enlightenment, or like Hong Zhong Da Lu constantly ringing in my mind.
Because Wei Hanmin was right. For so many years, Wei Xizhen believed that he had been contributing to the export of Chinese culture, or in other words, contributing to making the world recognize Chinese culture.
However, it is still not as much as Xu Xuan has done in the past three years.
From "Jurassic Park" to "Forrest Gump", although these are English novels, they are indeed works by Chinese writers.
Then there was the World Edition Conference that started in Japan two years ago. Qiaosu fought to become a god. Although Qiaosu did not appear in person at that time, who in the global literary field did not recognize Qiaosu?
Even now, Qiaosu still insists on publishing one book every month, and each one is a high-quality product and a classic.
This undoubtedly gave Qiaosu a mysterious aura, and he was also called a Chinese genius in the field of literature!
As for Qiaosu, Xu Xuan discovered and signed a contract with someone from the Future Group.
In conjunction with Xu Xuan's film works, English song works, animation works, etc., Xu Xuan has indeed done much more than Wei Xizhen in less than four years in the past three years.
That's just the way it is with some things, and you won't get the corresponding reward if you work hard.
Talent is sometimes the most important thing.
Wei Xizhen smiled bitterly, but could not refute Wei Hanmin's question.
Therefore, if Xu Xuan is asked to use his connections now, it turns out that they are ignorant.
Who are you going to talk to to reason with this?
Wei Hanmin sighed again: "When it comes to patriotism, how many of us in the cultural and sports circles can compare to Xu Xuan?"
"Needless to say, Yu Youchen's two concerts, Xu Xuan's speech in public is already better than anything else, so you don't have to use your righteousness to suppress Xu Xuan, he won't accept your tricks, he has his own They are patriotic and have their own way of dealing with all the problems they face.”
"Does China Film and Television belong to you alone? You keep saying it is for Chinese culture and collective interests, but you always want to rely on the protection of China Film and Television. Is this fair? You are a qualified party member. ?"
Wei Xizhen was speechless.
But she really wants to invest in and produce this movie. Without Anthony Senna, a lot of points will be lost.
Wei Hanmin said this in front of him, what else could Wei Xizhen say?
If he looks for Xu Xuan again, or uses the protection of China Film and Television to make a fuss, it is estimated that the leadership will replace himself as the person in charge.
Wei Xizhen sighed helplessly. She also realized that she didn't like Xu Xuan and couldn't stand Xu Xuan's way of doing things.
But I have to admit Xu Xuan's talent.
...
Future Group.
Zhou Jing was sitting in Xu Xuan's office, looking a little embarrassed.
Zhou Jing, who has short hair, is close to forty years old, but her figure is well maintained. Although her skin is not as good as that of little Xu Si, there are few wrinkles. However, when she smiles, she can see a trace of age in the corners of her eyes. .
In a word, this woman still has charm.
However, Zhou Jing now doesn't know how to speak.
Xu Xuan was sketching out the scenes for the movie "King Kong" and had been sitting at his desk waiting for Zhou Jing for five minutes.
Seeing that Zhou Jing was still reluctant to speak, Xu Xuan simply put down the work at hand: "Sister Jing, what's going on?"
Zhou Jing glanced at the office door, then stood up, walked over, and locked it!
Xu Xuan glanced at her strangely. Xu Xuan certainly didn't think Zhou Jing was going to do anything. There must be something important to discuss.
But no one except the group leadership can enter his office.
"Have you heard of the Booker Prize?" Zhou Jing asked, standing opposite Xu Xuan.
Xu Xuan thought for a moment, then nodded: "I know, legend is the highest award in the field of English novels."
The Booker Prize, at first, only awarded awards to writers from two or three countries. Later, it gradually awarded awards to English novels from all over the world.
In other words, except for English novels, they do not approve of all literary works. In a sense, this can be regarded as a kind of arrogance.
But no matter how much you resist and protest, they just won’t publish literary works in other languages.
However, people are like this, the more they lack something, the more they want something.
Since its inception several decades ago, the Booker Prize has become the world's highest honor for English-language works, not to mention the Nobel Prize for Literature.
Of course Xu Xuan knew about this award.
Zhou Jing said: "The organizing committee of the Booker Prize called me and wanted to invite Qiao Su's works to be shortlisted, but it cannot be "Jurassic Park", "Forrest Gump" or "Game of Thrones"!"
Xu Xuan frowned. Don't these three works have enough energy?
In the original time and space, these three works did not win awards. That is because they are not the works of a single writer and their influence is not large enough.
Moreover, the Booker Prize awards are not constant based on popularity, so Xu Xuan is not surprised.
But since Zhou Jing was chosen for the Booker Prize, why did it specifically state that it could not be for these three works?
Zhou Jing said: "Actually, I have also investigated relevant information. The Booker Prize is more due to the deviation in the field of literature, or in other words, more internal things are their criteria for judging."
"Forrest Gump and Game of Thrones are not their favorite genres, so they want Qiaosu to write another English version of his work for the competition, and ask Qiaosu to come forward to accept the award, and then plan for Qiaosu to do it next year. It’s about the judges.”
Xu Xuan rubbed his chin: "So, they want Qiao Su to show up?"
Zhou Jing shook her head: "It should not only be for this reason. The global literary field hopes to see Qiao Su's strange novel, but literary writers are not celebrities. It doesn't matter if they show their faces or not. They should want to make a summary next year. So if Qiaosu appears, the influence will be greater.”
"I haven't said anything about this matter yet, but once the people know about it, think about it."
Xu Xuan was still a little surprised. What happened if someone found out?
