Chapter 294: Urge for Change (Seeking Monthly Ticket)
"Mr. Lin, calm down and calm down."
Qi Zhongcai said: "I just learned about this matter, so leave it to me to handle it."
Meng Haitao is a veteran artist of the company and the most valuable actor in the company besides Zheng Qian and Chu Youbin.
When Lin Qianqian started the company, if it hadn't been for Meng Haitao, Zheng Qian alone might not have been able to sustain it.
For Lin Qianqian, Meng Haitao is not only a company artist, but also a family friend. She has always been very protective, so getting angry after learning about this incident was the most direct reaction.
But in fact, the crew of "Bright Sword" did not sign a contract with Meng Haitao. Perhaps they had made a verbal agreement with Zheng Qian before, but now that the actor has been dismissed, in terms of value, he is indeed better than Meng Haitao.
Even if Lin Qianqian wanted to challenge her, she couldn't find many reasons.
Moreover, for now, Yuexiang Media is still slightly weaker in terms of size, whether it is facing CCTV Film and Television Department or Huaying Media, and it will not be able to gain favor in a short period of time.
This made Lin Qianqian feel angry inside, but she couldn't vent it.
Because he suddenly discovered that it seemed that without Zheng Qian, the company would no longer be as prosperous as it is today.
If you go to Zheng Qian, with his current status and influence in the industry, you will definitely be able to get an explanation.
But first, Zheng Qian was performing overseas and couldn't get out of school.
Secondly, Lin Qianqian doesn't really want to let Zheng Qian come forward whenever something happens.
It's fine once or twice, but asking Zheng Qian every time shows that the company's operations and public relations team are too unqualified.
Therefore, when Lin Qianqian heard that Qi Zhongcai took the initiative to take over the matter, she gritted her teeth secretly, but she was just incompetent and furious. In the end, she still let Qi Zhongcai handle the matter for the time being.
…
Germany, Berlin Philharmonic Hall, Zheng Qian and others are rehearsing intensively for the evening performance.
But what they didn't know was that outside the concert hall, a large number of fans of "The Three-Body Problem" from more than ten countries in Europe and the United States had gathered. There were nearly 200 people, all in front of the big square outside the concert hall.
.
They held name tags with the words "Three-Body Problem" in their hands, and each of them also had a uniformly produced certificate hung around their neck, with the words "Science Boundary" printed on it.
"Science Frontier" is a research organization dominated by scientists in "The Three-Body Problem", which is also the so-called Earth Trisolaran Organization, or ETO in English.
Their highest purpose is to "rescue decaying human society with the help of external forces."
Its slogan is the legendary "Eradicate human tyranny, the world belongs to the Three-Body Problem!"
Obviously, "The Three-Body Problem" is becoming more and more popular in Europe and the United States. Especially after being nominated for the Hugo Award for Best Feature, "The Three-Body Problem" has become even more famous.
More and more people are exposed to "The Three-Body Problem" and are deeply attracted by the story.
This led to a reader group with the same name as the organization in the book - "Science Boundaries".
Almost all the main members are extended from the Science Fiction World Forum, and they all have a special name for each other - "comrade".
The unfinished mission of communism seems to have been completed by a science fiction film...
At this moment, in front of the Berlin Philharmonic Concert Hall, readers from more than ten countries including North America and Europe gathered together. Whether they knew each other or not, they shook hands warmly, hugged each other, and shouted: "We are comrades now."
Already."
Hundreds of comrades gathered together, speaking different languages, and the scene was extremely lively.
This scene made the security personnel of the Berlin Philharmonic Hall extremely vigilant, and also attracted the attention of the concert hall manager Sweet.
After getting to know them, Sweet learned the identities of these "comrades" and was quite surprised for a while.
After asking about their purpose, I was even more surprised.
In addition to meeting the author "Qin", the main purpose of these comrades is to "urge updates"!
Urgent update!!
Not here to listen to music!!
Sweet was dumbfounded and did not understand these crazy book fans at all!!
Faced with Sweet's inquiry, these comrades readers became even more passionate and expressed their opinions enthusiastically.
"I finished reading The Three-Body Problem last summer!"
"When the Trisolarans used super technology to lock down the basic science of the earth, the huge Trisolaran fleet began to march towards the earth. The end of mankind was coming. I got goosebumps when I read it, but at the end of this
It was an exciting episode, but it ended suddenly!"
"Chinese writers are so abominable that they cut off the article at the climax! This is very intolerable!"
"But our love for "The Three-Body Problem" made us endure it for more than half a year!"
"We are waiting every minute for 'Qin' to continue publishing the second "Three-Body Problem". We thought it was diligently writing books in China. We get up every day and pray that 'Qin' will write another chapter...
"
"But God, do you know how sad and sad we are when we know that 'Qin' will not write a book but come to your place to perform?"
"My mentality is broken!"
"Manager Sweet, don't wonder why we are so crazy! Do you know that we were shocked when we saw the nanowire cutting ship?"
"In other words, do you know sophons? Do you know how sophons are formed? Come on, let me educate you about your poor knowledge storage. Sophons were created by Trisolarans to monitor people on earth and lock the earth.
Basic science, sophons can obtain energy from the vacuum, fly at a speed extremely close to the speed of light, and use quantum entanglement to achieve instantaneous communication. They can also use microscopic high-dimensional space to enter anywhere, and can freely switch their own dimensions!"
"The Trisolarans already have the technology to control six of the eight dimensions in the microcosm. By unfolding the nine-dimensional protons in two dimensions, and then etching the two-dimensional protons through circuits, they transformed them into supercomputers.
Return to the microscopic eleventh dimension..."
"The Three-Body Problem is really a great work. Qin can actually simulate the evolutionary forms of more than two hundred civilizations through one game!"
"Before this, I never thought that epic story scenes could be shown in words!"
Sweet was already dizzy. He couldn't understand what was said.
However, when he learned that among these readers there were university professors and company bosses, Sweet was in awe and at the same time couldn't help but complain. It seemed that the fanatical fans were of all ages and classes.
After all, this is the internationally famous Berlin Philharmonic Concert Hall. There is no way Sweet would let these people gather to cause trouble. Moreover, the concert is about to start in an hour or two, so having these people block the door is obviously a mistake.
Very disharmonious.
So after trying to dissuade him many times to no avail, Sweet decisively called the police.
The German police dispatched the police in a timely manner. In less than half an hour, a police car appeared in front of the concert hall. Two weak and helpless police officers got out of the car. A police car confusedly asked Sweet about what was going on.
After going through it, I immediately felt it was tricky.
They were all a group of foreigners from North America and the European Union, and it was really difficult to deal with them, so the two policemen discussed it with Sweet and asked if 'Qin' could be allowed to come out to appease the book fans at the scene.
Seeing this, Sweet could only ask 'Qin''s identity on the spot, and immediately returned to the concert hall rehearsal site and found Zheng Qian: "Excuse me, dear Mr. Zheng, there is something that needs you to handle.
one time."
At this time, the rehearsal was almost over. Zheng Qian was stunned when he heard what the hall manager said and learned the reason for the incident.
Liao Min next to him said in surprise: "A book lover?"
She seemed to have seen in the information that Zheng Qian had indeed been published, but after spending time together, she subconsciously felt that Zheng Qian was a powerful composer and tenor.
Now that the identity of a writer was suddenly revealed, Liao Min was really stunned.
Even Lou Ze couldn't help but ask: "Do foreigners like to watch "The Three-Body Problem" so much?"
He knew that Zheng Qian had written "The Three-Body Problem" and had won the Galaxy Award for Science Fiction Literature in China, but the readership was limited to a small group of science fiction book fans and it did not create much of a sensation among the people.
But at this time, listening to the description of the concert hall manager Sweet, these foreigners from more than a dozen countries actually bought air tickets and ran to Germany one by one in order to rush for the update...
This somewhat surprised Lou Ze.
He suddenly discovered that not only the music Zheng Qian created was popular in Europe and the United States, but also the science fiction he wrote casually could cause such a big sensation?
"It is said that the mayor of Boston is reading this book."
Sweet reminded that he had just obtained clues about this matter when communicating with comrades from the "Science Frontier": "There are also professors from Ivy League universities and the general manager of a listed company in the United States are reading your book..."
Even Liao Min couldn't calm down now.
This influence seems a bit high.
As a diplomat, she didn't even get first-hand information on this matter!
fail!
Zheng Qian was also surprised in his heart. He heard Sweet say that "comrades" were shouting loudly outside, and even the police didn't come. He couldn't go out to express his position, so he cleaned up his image and walked outside the concert hall.
When Sweet led Zheng Qian and others outside the hall, the group of book fans who were still buzzing suddenly became quiet.
Then, I don’t know who started, shouting "Eradicate human tyranny..."
Then the whole hall rang with the huge slogan "Eradicate human beings, the world belongs to the Trisolaris!"
Zheng Qian took a look and was even more frightened.
The enthusiasm in these people's eyes cannot be faked. When they saw themselves, the excitement flashed in their glasses, as if they were seeing a spiritual leader.
Zheng Qian even heard someone shouting "Commander".
This is the title of the supreme ruler of the "scientific frontier".
It seems that everyone is seriously ill...
Soon, after the slogans were shouted loudly, Zheng Qian quickly stretched out his hand, pressed it downwards, and said loudly: "Comrades..."
What does it mean to do as the Romans do when in the country? This is what it means to do as the Romans do when in the country.
Under the atmosphere, Zheng Qian subconsciously shouted the word "comrade", and then watched a group of white men and women in the audience howl excitedly, as if they had received God's approval, and there was an incomparable look of glory on their faces.
.
Zheng Qian even vaguely felt that it already had some religious overtones.
This sign was too scary. Zheng Qian didn’t want to be 404ed yet, so he quickly said loudly: "Hello everyone, I am Zheng Qian, the author of "The Three-Body Problem". Thank you for your love of "The Three-Body Problem", but writing is just my hobby."
Hobby is not my main job. I know you are all waiting for the follow-up plot, but I am sorry that at this stage..."
As he said this, he took a quick glance and saw the unpredictable expressions on the faces of the people in the audience.
Some people even had red eyes, as if they wanted to rush up and hijack their posture.
Zheng Qian's heart jumped suddenly, and the cruel scene of being locked in a small dark room and typing words suddenly appeared in his mind, so he cleared his throat and immediately changed his words: "At this stage, I am very busy with work, but in fact, I have
I have figured out the ideas and the general creative framework. I believe that in the next six months... no, in the next two or three months, the second part of "The Three-Body Problem" will be on the market. See you all. Finally, thank you again for your support.
Love, because of your love, I can have a steady stream of creative motivation! Only then can I contribute the stories you like to everyone! Thank you!"
As a debut artist, Zheng Qian is quite good at speaking in scenes.
These words also made the book fans in the audience excited. They heard that they would be able to read a new book in two or three months, and they all laughed with satisfaction for a while.
There was also thunderous applause at the scene.
Seeing this, Zheng Qian breathed a sigh of relief, and then took photos and signed autographs one by one with the readers who had come from afar. After sorting for a full hour, he finally got away.
Seeing that the performance was about to start in more than an hour, everyone was dining on the spot in the concert hall. During this period, Liao Minzi carefully asked Zheng Qian about the overseas publication of "The Three-Body Problem", and then used some diplomatic contacts to
After asking around, I learned that "The Three-Body Problem" was nominated for the Best Novel at the French Hugo Award and that the sales of "The Three-Body Problem" overseas were soaring. For a moment, Liao Min looked at Zheng Qian and became extremely worried.
Get weird.
"What is a genius?"
Liao Min sighed: "I'm really convinced, Zheng Qian, what else are you capable of? I saw you writing this reminder on the information sheet. I didn't pay much attention to it. Now that I think about it, it really makes me gasp.
What a breath of cool air!
"Our intelligence work is still not solid enough. I never expected that the information was just a casual description, but the truth represents the most popular Chinese writer overseas..."
Lou Ze lowered his head and ate his steak without saying a word.
It seems that he was hit.
Zheng Qian didn't know what to say.
In fact, he has not read the English version of "The Three-Body Problem" until now, and at this time he really wants to find a copy and read it immediately.
How did Stephen King's translation make these foreigners so fascinated...
Of course, the most important thing is that the plot of "The Three-Body Problem" itself is excellent enough. It can quickly rise in the science fiction world forum and be snapped up by six major publishing houses, which already illustrates the importance of "The Three-Body Problem".
