Stephen's words aroused the approval of everyone present.
Brandt, the founder of the "Popcorn" campus network, said excitedly: "Our company will invest a lot of promotional resources on the website for "The Three-Body Problem". Although I only watched "The Wall Facer", I already watched "The Wall Facer" yesterday.
After discussing it with Mr. Stephen, the following plot is not at all inferior to "The Wall Facer"!"
"Yes, it's really not bad."
Mark showed his white teeth and said with a smile: "I was lucky enough to read some chapters. This is probably one of the benefits of being the Secretary-General of the Scientific Frontier Organization. Haha, oh, by the way, when "Three-Body 2" is released,
Our scientific frontier will organize a grand welcome party, and Mr. Zheng Qian and Mr. Stephen will be invited to participate in this gathering organized among readers."
"Will Miss Natasha come? And where are Hunter, Gino and the others?"
"Mr. Pym will definitely come back. He is a professor at Harvard University who specializes in studying the Three-Body phenomenon."
"Dennis will probably come too. After all, he is clamoring on the campus network every day to go to China to meet Mr. Zheng Qian."
A group of people were laughing and discussing.
Leonard, the editor-in-chief of Harpers Publishing House, also added a few words from time to time, looking like he was familiar with everyone.
Hannah looked at this scene, not to mention how surprised she was.
Everyone present is very young, the oldest is only in his early forties, but everyone is a influential figure in their respective industries, but they are gathered together because of a "Three-Body" novel.
And this is just the tip of the iceberg of the reader organization Science Frontier. After all, according to Secretary-General Mark, Hollywood superstar Natasha is also a member of Science Frontier, Hunter seems to be the owner of a sports car club, and Gino is a surgeon with superb medical skills.
…
How huge this organization must be!
It is no longer just a pure readers organization!
Especially while listening to their chat, Hannah even learned that a professor from Harvard University was studying the so-called "history of cosmic civilization" through the science fiction novel "The Three-Body Problem", which made Hannah feel that all three views were affected.
Subverted.
She thought of the handsome young man with a warm temperament whom she met in China.
Mr. Zheng...
Unknowingly, has he gathered so many followers behind him?
Even in this organization on the border of science, there are many people joining it, who are not just simple book fans, but want to get the connections and resources, but this does not prevent Zheng Qian from gaining huge influence.
At the thought of this, Hannah couldn't help but be filled with emotion.
In the past, veteran authors in the industry always advised passers-by that writing books was a dead end.
But now it seems that it is a fact visible to the naked eye that writing books can not only make a fortune, but also gain such huge connections and reach the pinnacle of life!
…
Frontier, Sile Steppe.
When Zheng Qian and Ren Xin drove here, the setting sun was slowly lowering from the sky and falling into the clouds, turning the entire sky into a scene like burning clouds.
On the horizon, the breeze blows, and the greenery all over the mountains and fields is constantly swaying.
There are not many vehicles going back and forth on the newly repaired road. At the end of both sides of the road, you can only see the yurts in the distance.
"Arrived, Sile Prairie."
Zhang Guoran sat in the driver's seat and suddenly shouted.
Zheng Qian, who was sitting in the passenger seat and snoring, opened his eyes, lifted the hoodie on his head, and squinted at the scenery outside the window.
What happened to be passing by was an endless plain, stretching continuously without hills. It was like a huge dark green emerald disk, vast and vast, and breathtaking.
"Hey, it seems very lively here!"
Ren Xin opened the window and could hear the sound of a loudspeaker from far away, playing a familiar song.
When Hu Liang heard it, she said directly: "It's "Katyusha"! Zheng Qian, your song."
Zheng Qian also heard it. He looked around and the front gradually became clearer.
I saw that both sides of the road not far away were filled with portraits and flowers about Zheng Qian. A huge billboard was built above the road. The portrait of Zheng Qian with a smile and a thumbs up suddenly appeared in the center of the billboard.
, there is a line of words written in Mongolian and Chinese next to it: "Xile Prairie, Zheng Qian's second hometown"!
Zheng Qian: "..."
Zhang Guoran patted the steering wheel and laughed: "Brother Qian, when did you endorse this place? The last time we came here, it didn't seem so lively. Look at the yurt over there. There are many people, and they all seem to be tourists.
,Hey, why is there still someone carrying a camera?"
Hearing this, the four of them looked over.
Indeed, next to the yurt not far away, in addition to the bonfire being prepared, there were countless figures, as well as reporters and photographers who were obviously dressed as media personnel.
Ren Xin asked curiously: "Who are you interviewing?"
Zheng Qian shook his head, wondering if he was waiting for me?
Hu Liang suddenly asked: "Brother Qian, has your itinerary been leaked?"
"Definitely not. We all traveled in secret this time. No one said hello when we came out." Ren Xin said with certainty.
Zheng Qian smiled: "I originally wanted to relax here, but I didn't expect there were so many people. It would be a waste of time. Forget it, let's go to the airport later and go straight to the snow area..."
Hearing this, Ren Xin smiled bitterly and said: "Then I can't go. I only have two days to rest, and I have to deal with the work at hand later."
Nowadays, Ren Xin no longer works alone, but owns a well-known brokerage company in the industry. She is also very busy at work and does not have much personal freedom.
Zhang Guoran and Hu Liang also looked embarrassed. They came to Xile Prairie this time to relax after their busy work.
Zheng Qian can run wild everywhere, but the two of them cannot be so free. After all, they still have to make money to support their families. If they can squeeze out time to accompany Zheng Qian, they have already made several announcements.
Nowadays, everyone is different from a year ago. At that time, except for Zheng Qian, everyone did not have much work. But now, their development is actually pretty good, so they all cherish these hard-won opportunities.
Of course, the most important thing is that when we go to the snow area, the altitude sickness alone is enough for several people to drink a pot.
Zheng Qian has been to snowy areas and filmed the MV for "Heavenly Road", so he got used to it. But last time he went there, he just took advantage of work, but this time he wanted to take a walk.
So I didn't force them, and said with a smile: "It's okay, we will meet again later, you go and do your work, I can't be selfish and take you with me, Guoran, I will go to the airport later, you can fly back directly, I
Just drive around alone and it’s fine.”
Upon hearing this, Zhang Guoran quickly said: "Brother Qian, if you really want to go, you'd better take An Lin and Tang Cheng with you, so that you can be safer on the road."
Hu Liang also felt a little guilty. Xile Prairie was originally her hometown, but she hadn't been back for more than half a year. Who knew it was so fancy? The folks in her hometown obviously wanted to take advantage of Zheng Qian's experience here.
It was obviously the intention of the local government to use relaxing deeds to promote the Sile Prairie. Although Hu Liang felt it was a bit inappropriate, she acquiesced to this approach.
However, she did not expect that the scale would be so large, and there would be many media reporters present.
As a result, Brother Qian was no longer in the mood to relax.
"Otherwise, drive a little further." Hu Liang said: "As long as they are not coming for us, they take pictures of theirs and we play with ours, there is more to the Xile Prairie than just this small area."
In fact, Zheng Qian had been riding in the car for several hours and wanted to come down and relax. When he heard this, he nodded in agreement.
So the group of people continued to drive forward.
Soon, the Siler Prairie was right in front of us.
A valuable Hummer appeared on the road, and it also had a Beijing license plate, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the grassland.
Some media reporters who were covering the area did not realize what was going on at first. They suddenly woke up when they saw everyone raising their necks and looking towards the road.
"What the hell, Beijing brand? Hummer?"
"It doesn't matter whether it's a Hummer or not. What's important is the Beijing brand. It's from Beijing!"
"I remember, didn't Yuexiang Media own a Hummer H2? When Chu Youbin attended a party, his agent Li Xiang was driving it."
"Is this Chu Youbin here?"
"No, this is the administrative vehicle of Yuexiang Media. It has no fixed user. Maybe Zheng Qian himself is here?!"
"Zheng Qian himself? Damn it, so lucky? I just came here to take a look."
The media reporters next to the grassland all opened their eyes wide, looking at the vehicle getting closer and closer on the highway.
Until they got closer, someone shouted: "It's a Hummer H2, a Beijing-branded three-six, it's a vehicle owned by Yuexiang Media!"
"It's Zheng Qian!"
With a loud roar, the entire grassland boiled, and even the billboards on the road shook. Posters with Zheng Qian printed on both sides of the road rustled in the wind.
A group of people blushed with excitement and stood up to greet him.
The person in charge of the Xile Prairie Scenic Spot was also so excited that he could not speak. While he ordered someone to call his superiors, he trotted to greet the legendary star.
Zheng Qian once visited the Xile Prairie once, and it became a sensational legend in the surrounding area. Later, someone made a documentary of Zheng Qian's visit and photos, and played it on a loop on the local news channel. This made Xi Le very famous.
Le Prairie has become famous, and many fans from nearby areas come to watch and play.
The person in charge of the Xile Prairie is also very business-minded. He immediately reorganized the Xile Prairie, introduced inland amusement city facilities, and launched many amusement projects here.
For a time, countless tourists came to visit the Sile Prairie.
After making some money, Xile Prairie began to upgrade grassland facilities again, and on the road to Xile Prairie, many nameplates with Zheng Qian's face were erected, and there were promotional flags flying into the wind on both sides of the road.
There are portraits of Zheng Qian printed on them.
But the key point is that Zheng Qian did not authorize the copyright related to Xile Prairie.
In other words, Xile Prairie borrowed Zheng Qian's fame and portrait rights to make profits, which itself is an illegal thing.
As a child of the grassland, Hu Liang has been in the capital for many years now, so he naturally knows the twists and turns. Therefore, when he saw all these scenes, he felt extremely ashamed in his heart and quickly said to Zheng Qian: "Brother Qian, this matter
Although I don’t know about it, I will take full responsibility. Don’t worry, I will urge them to completely resolve this matter.”
Zheng Qian smiled: "It's nothing. It can increase some income for the local area, and it can be regarded as contributing to the poverty alleviation work of the party and the country."
Hearing this, Zhang Guoran gave a thumbs up: "As expected of my brother Qian, his consciousness is high... However, there is one thing to say, this kind of infringement and abuse of portrait rights cannot be easily tolerated, otherwise others will follow suit.
If there are too many, it will be easy for lawbreakers to take advantage of the loopholes and cause damage."
Ren Xin also nodded and said: "Let Sister Liang communicate with her first. If it doesn't work, then we can go through the legal process."
"No need."
Zheng Qian smiled and waved his hand.
He really didn't think it was necessary.
At present, not only his personal image rights will be infringed, but also some internationally renowned superstars such as Cheng Long often suffer from such things. It can even be said that in this era, some third- and fourth-tier cities in mainland China are everywhere.
Such incidents occur.
Some self-employed businesses in remote cities will also print the portraits of celebrities on billboards.
This is basically what merchants do today. The current laws and regulations are not perfect. Many celebrities and artists also turn a blind eye to this. The so-called law does not punish everyone. If you care about it every time, just
The cost of litigation is already a staggering expense, and it is simply a thankless task.
This kind of thing will only be completely eradicated in more than ten or twenty years with the improvement of various portrait rights and intellectual property rights.
Seeing the grassland residents and media reporters surrounding him like crazy, their eyes were shining brightly and they were shouting Zheng Qian's name. They simply refused to give up until they saw the real person.
Zhang Guoran had no choice but to drive the vehicle, make a sharp turn, and quickly return to the original road.
"Hey, hey, why are you leaving?"
"Zheng Qian! Zheng Qian!"
"Don't go, you are welcome on the Sile Prairie!"
"It shouldn't be Zheng Qian, right? This is Zheng Qian's second hometown. If it were Zheng Qian, he would definitely get off the bus."
"You don't even look at how many reporters are there. Why are they all rushing to interview us all of a sudden? It turns out they have received the news in advance. This is great. Zheng Qian is gone and will probably never come again.
Already."
"We can't blame the reporters entirely. They just wanted to interview us and didn't expect Zheng Qian to come."
"And the person sitting in that Hummer H2 may not be Zheng Qian, maybe it's Hu Liang?"
"Yes, Hu Liang is also a big star from Yuexiang Media and is still out in our Xile Prairie!"
"I've already seen Zheng Qian sitting in the passenger seat. You are still comforting yourself and hypnotizing yourself here. Is there anything wrong?"
