Chapter 695: Difficulties in front of people and suffering behind the scenes 1/5
Oh, there is one more thing the old man called him, that is, the annual Hong Kong Writers Association event is coming, and he should be informed not to forget it.
If the old man hadn't mentioned this matter, he would have completely forgotten about it. Only then did he remember that he was still an important member of the Writers Association.
This association is actually a private association without official certification. At first, it was intended to allow a few like-minded writers to form a group for exchanges, but slowly more and more people joined.
The atmosphere of this association is quite good. The president or vice-presidents are all relatively virtuous seniors. Everyone does not do anything related to interests together. It is purely a place for literary exchanges.
If it was of an official nature, Zhao Hong might not pay attention to it!
Within a few days, "Times" published an interview with Zhao Hong. The cover title was "The Great Magister of the East." The article gave a relatively detailed account of his life and a relatively objective explanation of his personal growth process.
, for example, he and his sister founded DreamWorks, how many movies they shot, how many novels they wrote, how many creative ideas they created, etc.
There are so many things to write about, and "Times" only picked out the more typical ones for publication, but this is relatively one-sided and quite shocking.
In fact, many people know Zhao Hong, but their understanding of him may not be comprehensive.
Movie lovers may know him as a good director, novel lovers may know him as an awesome writer, comic book lovers may know him as a good comic creator...
Adding up all these bits and pieces, there are no more than 10 million people who fully know his entire identity, and very few people in Europe and the United States know about him.
In fact, the main reason for this is that he has basically never been interviewed by Western media, which naturally makes him an invisible tool in these places.
Maybe those who read the novel think Hongye is very awesome, but they really don’t know who he is. There are also some Chinese movie lovers who like his movies, but who wants to get to know a niche director without the time?
It’s better to know more about the actors!
But this time is different, Time Magazine!
This weekly is an authoritative newspaper throughout the West. As long as it publishes something, other newspapers will reprint it. The audience size is really unimaginable.
In addition, the public is very concerned about this weekly magazine, so as long as there is a little bit of news, they will carefully scrutinize it. The new issue of "Times Weekly" focuses on Zhao Hong's personal deeds, which arouses the curiosity of many people.
Since then, it has been very rare for people of yellow race to appear on the cover of Time Magazine.
But as long as he appears in "Time Magazine", he must be a great big shot.
Many people read it in one sitting. After reading it, they can only sigh in their hearts that it’s awesome! It’s really awesome!
I'm afraid this guy is cheating!
Immediately, a strong interest in this person arose, and Zhao Hong's reputation in Europe and the United States suddenly became very popular. Many newspapers saw this situation, quickly raised the interest, and conducted in-depth research on Zhao Hong.
It doesn't matter that Zhao Hong didn't accept interviews. Just find out what he had interviewed in Xiangjiang or the Mainland. After he found out about this, he was a bit dumbfounded!
He really doesn’t want to be famous!
Could it be that this talent is like being pregnant and cannot be hidden after a long time?
Zhao Hong received a call from Sophie on the other side of the ocean and was stunned to learn that she was so popular. Although she knew that she would be different after appearing in "Times Magazine", she did not expect that she would immediately become popular.
In fact, he doesn't know much about his popularity in Europe and the United States. Many of his movie fans, book fans, comic fans, etc. just lack a chance to fully understand him. This time, all his auras have merged.
Besides, in fact, the United States and even all over the world are very enthusiastic about talented people, and his appearance has made many people unable to stop.
Zhao Hong is also very worried about his sudden increase in fame. Whatever he does in the future will be magnified countless times by a magnifying glass. His company will also be secretly watched by many people, and it will be difficult to play the role of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.
It’s getting harder.
Of course, it's not without its benefits. This time, DreamWorks has shown its face to the world. In the eyes of Westerners, it is an entertainment giant that can rival Disney.
Many people discovered that there is such an awesome company in the far east, which really refreshed their outlook. The mysterious city of Xiangjiang became more well-known.
Zhao Hong can imagine that in the next few years, the number of tourists in Xiangjiang will definitely increase slightly.
His position in Hong Kong is becoming more and more stable, and it is even more difficult for the Hong Kong government to make any fuss about him. This incident can be said to make them both painful and happy.
The increase in tourists directly leads to an increase in tax revenue, which is a good thing, but it hurts to think that in a few years this will no longer belong to you!
For the British government, it is really painful now. Xiangjiang is now a shining pearl. With the addition of Tian Shui Wai, Xiangjiang is no longer a cripple, but is developing in many directions, including entertainment.
Industry is already the third largest industry after finance and real estate.
The potential of this tertiary industry is even greater than that of real estate, and the current market value is over one trillion.
How can you not feel heartbroken when you see that such a person's fruit will no longer belong to you?
After seeing Zhao Hong appear in Time Magazine, many people called to congratulate her.
"Hong Zai, you have really made us Hong Kong people proud. You are the first person to appear in Time Magazine! How are you feeling now? Do you suddenly feel that your style is different?"
"Haha, Uncle Li, I am still me. You know that I don't care much about these false reputations. No matter how out of style I am, I still have to eat, drink, pee and poop, just like a common person."
"You kid, are you going to sound so disgusting? I feel relieved after hearing your words. You are still the same as before, that humble, low-key, stinky boy who pretends to be a pig and eats the tiger."
"Hong Zai! When did Time Magazine interview you? Why didn't I know? You kid directly outperformed us old guys, that's amazing!"
"Uncle Six, this is just a weekly magazine with a little influence. It's not a big deal. If you want to be interviewed by them, they will rush to interview you."
"You brat, you are just making fun of me! Time Magazine is a newspaper where great people can be interviewed directly. I am still far behind!"
"Hong Zai, you are now the light of the Chinese people and have made a living for us. It is really amazing."
"Uncle Bao, who am I to be the light of the Chinese people? You are the famous shipping king of the world, and you are the backbone of the Chinese people."
…
Ever since Zhao Hong appeared in "Times Magazine", his phone calls have not stopped, and the final result was that he was directly disconnected from the phone, and then he became quieter.
But he knew that as long as it was fully charged, the previous conversation would have to be repeated.
He had to answer many calls from seniors, and he also had to answer calls from people who expressed sincere congratulations. It was really a rather troublesome thing.
Such an unpretentious and boring day lasted for two days before it stopped. He collapsed and lay down on the sofa.
"Come on, Brother Hong, eat a grape." When Qiqi saw Zhao Hong who looked constipated, she peeled a grape for him with her own hands. The skin of the grape was purple and black, and after peeling it off, there was a white and tender pulp.
It looks like super sweet grapes.
Zhao Hong looked at it and opened his mouth, then put the grape in his mouth, chewed it gently and a sweet taste filled his mouth.
"tasty!"
He couldn't help but said something.
"It's delicious, then I'll peel some more for you." Qiqi said happily.
Zhao Hong lay quietly like this, enjoying Qiqi's considerate service. It was rare to see her become well-behaved and no longer chattering like before. He was quite touched. She also knew that he needed to be quiet!
"Brother Hong, if someone else calls you, I will answer the call on your behalf!" Qiqi said in a low voice. She looked at Zhao Hong with more and more tender eyes. Her man was really amazing.
It is really not an easy honor to be on the cover of Time Magazine, especially when I heard from Sister Yingying that people were eager to interview him, but he was rejected the first time. This time, he came directly to Xiangjiang to interview him on the spot.
, this kind of thing made her a little confused about what to say.
"Haha, you didn't tell me earlier. Now I've taken care of it." Zhao Hong pinched her cheek and said with a smile. This girl used to have a little baby fat, but it's gone now. It's very standard.
She has an oval face, almond-shaped eyes, and single eyelids. When you see her blinking eyelids, there is a certain energy in them.
This girl originally wanted to have a child, but after returning to Xiangjiang and hearing about the pain of giving birth, she suddenly gave up.
Zhao Hong didn't force him when he saw this situation, so why not delay it a few years!
Besides, she is still a little frizzy, like a child. If she becomes a little person by herself, it is unknown whether she can take care of the child well?
"Didn't you write a novel today?" Zhao Hong said after staying with Qiqi for a while.
"Well, no inspiration."
"Brother Hong, I feel like I've been drained. I want to write a lot of plots but I can't."
"Haha, don't be impatient. Take your time first. You have encountered a bottleneck. Just wait for ten days and a half and it will be over."
…
Qiqi has now started her fifth novel. Her fourth novel after the Youth Trilogy is an ancient version of a romance story. In fact, it is an adaptation of some folklore or well-known stories to make them
