Chapter 294: To New York!
The next morning, the Grand Conference Hall of the St. Regis Hotel.
Sarah Mo held the physical versions of "The Harem Pauline House" and "The Female Pope", and looked up at the reporters coming and going.
She couldn't help but sigh: "Is this the launch ceremony of the physical book? β
Hearing this, the corners of Wang Yan's mouth curled slightly.
Physical book debut? Yes.
But it's all so lively? That's completely impossible!
"Princess Diana, you really have to cooperate!"
He remembered the shocked expressions on those people's faces when they heard the news last night, and he almost laughed out loud.
These "aristocratic" writers were sitting together, staring at Wang gradually with hatred.
Wang gradually didn't bother to deal with these people who were immersed in the old times, but instead thought about the treatment in Italy.
Although in a sense, the actions of Langdon in Italy did make him more popular.
But it was an unexpected situation, and no one could have predicted it.
"It seems that when I get back to New York, I'll have to talk to the editor-in-chief of Random House. β
"If it's all the case in Langdon, Italy, then I want to publish a physical book on the website in Europe. β
"You'll have to add money!"
At this time, the host loudly announced the upcoming three copies and invited Wang gradually to speak on stage.
Wang patted Sarah's arm and got up from her seat.
After tidying up his clothes, he walked towards the stage.
......
Meanwhile, London, inside Buckingham Palace.
The Queen of England, who is 70 years old, ****** is staring at her son, Prince Charles.
In the Olympics that the world is watching, it is enough to appear in public with that woman named Camilla.
Now, Diana has actually announced that she is divorcing Charles!
The queen stood up and turned on the TV.
After thinking about it for a while, she adjusted the TV channel to a channel that was more in line with the aristocratic status of literature appreciation.
After turning up the sound with the remote control, the queen finally began to speak.
Moreover, his voice is so loud that it can't even suppress the sound of TV.
"What do you think? Do you think the royal family is not shameful enough?"
"Now the whole of the UK, no, the whole of the English language is watching us and want to see a joke!"
"Do you feel very proud that you have stolen the headlines of the athletes in the Olympic year?!"
"Motherβ" Prince Charles looked at his angry mother, and suddenly regretted what he had done before.
But after thinking of what Camila said, he groaned, gritted his teeth and prepared to state his reasons.
"Camilla and I were in our first love, and we didn't have much affection for Diana. β
"Besides, since we got married in 1981, reports about our relationship problems have almost been enough to support a large newspaper. β
"I don't feel angry anymore when the paparazzi take pictures and listen to phone calls. β
"But after we separated, those gossip reporters actually began to make up all kinds of fake news on their own. β
Since it is inevitable that it will become the object of public discussion, it is better to separate completely. β
"It's not just good for me and Diana. Those gossip reporters, there is nothing to talk about!"
"You mean, you agree to the divorce?" the queen looked at her son, her hands trembling slightly uncontrollably.
"Yes. Charleston paused, "Actually, we should have divorced a long time ago." β
Hearing this answer, the queen sat in her chair and was speechless for a long time.
In fact, she didn't know that the marriage between the two had already existed in name only.
But if he gets divorced, then Charles will become the first British crown prince to divorce.
Even his uncle, Edward VIII, who abdicated because he married a divorced American woman, did not divorce!
"But have you ever thought about what a blow this is to the prestige of the royal family?"
"There are already calls for the abolition of the British royal family. β
"Do you think we are Saudi Arabia or Thailand?"
The queen said angrily.
"I've consulted with consultants," Charles replied, "and right now, there's just a momentum in the country, and it's not on a scale." β
"And Diana and I, if we are put under a magnifying glass by the media like this, it will be even more dangerous!"
"What's more," he said, pointing to the newspaper, "the biggest heat now is the Olympics, and then the election of the President of the United States." β
"These things can share a lot of coverage for us. β
"The public's attention will be distracted by the frequent occurrence of various major events. β
Hearing this, the queen was stunned for a moment.
She suddenly realized that this incident was not a momentary omission, but a certain plan.
Camilla...
The 70-year-old queen couldn't help but burst into a foul sentence in her heart: "That bitch!"
But...
The queen took off her top hat and placed it on the table.
"There's some truth to that. β
It's just that at the moment, it seems that the Olympics have little effect.
But the subsequent U.S. election will definitely be a media carnival!
Where, then, is there a thing that can divert public attention from this scandal?
She tapped her hands on the tabletop, her eyes rolling unconsciously.
Well?
"Harem?? The Pauline House", "The Pope"?
The book launch on the TV finally caught the Queen's attention.
This young man is the best-selling author and tech elite who has a certain reputation in the United States?
The queen looked at the television screen, groaned for a moment, and finally made up her mind.
The controversy between the royal family and the writers over the depiction of historical issues does not cause great public resentment.
And that book has been released in the United States for a long time, and it doesn't come across as particularly deliberate.
The most critical problem is that after "Braveheart", the British public has generally become dissatisfied with the American media.
And Viacom, as the largest media group in the United States, is bent on hyping up its influence.
"Charles," the queen said, turning her attention back, "you go to Los Angeles and get in touch with Lei Shidong." β
"I'll get back to you when you get there. β
Well?
Charles looked at his mother, a little confused.
At this time, what to do with the media tycoon?
But... Mother seems to agree?
"Yes, Mother. Charles bent down and walked briskly out of the study.
And the queen looked at the TV and couldn't help laughing.
"The emergence of this Asian writer has simply solved a big problem for the royal family. β
"When his book is published in Europe, I must buy one of them. β
In fact, Mr. Wang's relationship with European women is not limited to these well-known figures in ancient times. The TV host smiled at the Asian writer.
"Yes. The Asian-American writer grimaced, "I've been worried about a friend's situation lately. β
"Although, she has already put her autobiography and authorized it to be written by me. β
"However, I think her state will have to be postponed for a certain period of time. β
"And who is your friend?" the host asked curiously.
The Asian-American writer hesitated, but pulled out a document.
As the camera pulled in, the queen was surprised to find that the name on it was actually Diana!
Writers, mandates, royalty?
In the Queen's heart, she immediately remembered the origin of Buckingham Palace.
Because of Alexandre Dumas's popular "Three Musketeers" all over Europe, the Duke of Buckingham changed from a courtier to a respected nobleman.
In the end, even the king, who had just received the throne, had to change the name of his residence in order to gain the support of the people.
So, a writer is allowed to write about a shocking scandal inside the royal family?
The queen was stunned for a moment, and immediately picked up the phone.
"Charles, don't go to Los Angeles. β
"Go to New York and contact that Asian-American writer named Wang Jian!"
