Chapter 209: Writers

Long Island, inside a luxury villa.

A Caucasian man in his fifties sat on a couch and kept pressing the remote control.

As an Afro-American female writer Tony?? Morrison's agent and lover felt a pang of distraction as he watched the young Asian-American writer on TV.

"Why are CBS, ABC, NBC all playing this, isn't there anything else to focus on in the United States?" he rubbed his forehead and complained quietly.

"Now African-American stars in film, television, music, and sports have expressed their anti-discrimination attitude through the media. ”

Tony?? Morrison took his coffee and took a sip, "And I, as the only African-American, female Nobel Prize winner in literature, do not support Wang, who is also a writer." ”

She paused, considering what words to use.

After a while, he said slowly: "This will even make others think that I have betrayed my own race." ”

"You're not like them, you're a man of letters. The agent loudly persuaded, "Most of the people you have to deal with are white." ”

"Buy your African Americans, not even as many as those red necks in Texas!"

"And what about him?" Tony?? Morrison pointed to the TV screen, "Tiger?? Woods has already been interviewed. ”

"Golf spectators are mostly white!"

"But didn't you say that this king's work is simply a bottomless way to please readers?" The agent took out a physical copy of "Arcane Throne" and threw it on the coffee table.

Tony?? Morrison looked at the cover and frowned.

Since "Arcane Throne" was on the bestseller list and overtook her "Beloved", she had read this book carefully.

As a result, Tony?? From the bottom of his heart, Morrison looks down on the so-called "online literature" represented by this Asian writer.

This is also the main reason why she has been slow to express her position on this matter.

At this time, on the CBS news, a picture suddenly cut in.

"I've invested my own money to perfect the details of 'Anomalous Creature Observations'!"

"It's my insistence as a writer and my respect for book lovers!"

"I miss my African-American brother, and that cat, that dog!"

Then, the scene cuts back to the studio.

A young hostess faced the camera and said solemnly: "This is an insider who did not want to be named, and sent a negotiation video of the hit drama "Abnormal Creature Experience". ”

"Although this proves that ABC is not deliberately discriminatory, this insider still shocked us!"

"Even Wang, a well-known best-selling author in the United States, has no say in the film and television dramas adapted from his own works?"

"So, let's take a look at the NBC, ABC, and how many classics Hollywood has ruined!"

She paused for a moment and looked at the speech in her hand, "Let's choose Walt Disney, one of the six major production companies, as the representative of Hollywood." ”

This...

Tony?? Morrison looked at the TV and was stunned.

As the winner of the highest award in world literature, she, like many well-known authors, has a lot of dissatisfaction with the film and television dramas that her works have been adapted from.

The agent glanced at the female writer, quickly picked up the remote control, and changed the stage.

As a result, ABC is also broadcasting related news.

Of course, there is no news clip that discredits it here.

So, let's take stock of the classics that were ruined by CBS and NBC. ”

"As for Hollywood, let's choose 21st Century Fox Films, which is owned by Viacom. ”

Coincidentally, there is Tony in these inventories?? Morrison's work.

The writer looked fixedly at the TV screen, and after a few minutes, let out a long sigh.

"Although, I don't like Wang's work. ”

"But I have to admit that in terms of writer's persistence, he is much more admirable than me!"

Tony?? Morrison turned to look at his agent and said firmly: "On the issue of race, I can choose to compromise. ”

"But the glory of being a writer forced me to choose to support him. ”

The agent looked at the TV screen and thought about the past when he was dealing with Hollywood giants.

He silently picked up his coffee and took a sip.

After a moment, the agent sighed and stood up, "If you insist, then I'll contact the media." ”

Not long after the agent left, the phone rang in the living room.

The female writer picked up the phone in confusion and heard a familiar baritone voice coming from her.

"Morrison, have you seen the news lately?"

"Winston Groom?" Tony?? Morrison asked, a little surprised.

Since "Forrest Gump" won the box office championship and won multiple Oscars, the original author has not been in contact with his old friends for a long time.

"Wang is a man of letters with a classical temperament!" said Winston excitedly, "although I don't agree with his work." ”

"But on behalf of the group of writers, he shouted 'no' to capital, which is exactly what our contemporary writers lack!"

"Yes!" Tony?? Morrison also agrees with this view.

"I have asked my agent to contact the media, ready to publicly support Wang!"

"The power of one person is far from enough!" said Winston Groom, "Morrison, I hope you can attend the regular meeting of the Writers Guild that is about to be held." ”

"You're going to propose, in the name of the association, to make a statement of support?" Tony?? Morrison was very surprised.

"It can't be!" she said categorically, "You know the nature of our writers. ”

"The last public statement issued by the association, or is it Europe?? Mr. Henry's obituary. ”

"Even Mr. Hemingway didn't get this honor!"

"This time is different!" Winston Groom's confidence was full, "and how many people are eligible to join the guild whose works have not been adapted?"

"And how many of the adapted works are satisfying?"

"And, I've already contacted Stephen?? Kim, he has already agreed. ”

"We're going to contact Joseph?? Mr. Heller. ”

"If he supports it, this proposal may not be passed, right?"

"Joseph?? Mr. Heller?"Tony?? Morrison fell into a brief moment of distraction.

This is the only famous book in contemporary America, the author of "Catch-22".

In the American literary world, after Europe?? After Henry and Hemingway, a real national treasure writer.

"If that's the case, I'll go to the regular meeting. "Tony?? Morrison affirmed.

"Good!" replied Winston Groom, happily, "I'm with Neil?? Gaiman, George?? Martin, Stephen?? Mr. Kim contacted the members of the association. ”

"Tony, let's fight together for the dignity of literature!"
