Time passed quietly, and in the blink of an eye, it was May.

There is good news from the UK, the third part of "Game of Thrones" is a storm of ice and rain, after more than half a month of publicity, it has sold an astonishing sales of 600,000 copies on the third day of its publication, which not only broke the first sales of the second part of "Game of Thrones", but also became the fastest book to sell 600,000 copies in the UK in three days.

"Game of Thrones" is not only a big hit in the UK, but also in other European countries and North America!

The third "Storm of Ice and Rain" can be said to completely sweep away the somewhat depressing ending in the second part, making people feel a sense of joy and dripping.

The most important thing is that the content of the third part completely unravels the fantasy otherworldly continent of Westeros, and no longer only shows the tip of the iceberg as before, which makes people see Huo Yaowen's complete creation of this huge worldview, which is no less than that of British writers. R. J.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, and the Chronicles of Narnia by American writer Lewis.

Essula Lejeon, the writer of the well-known fantasy "Tales of the Earthsea", did not hesitate to appreciate and praise Huo Yaowen in the American Literary Weekly. His works, whether it is his science fiction works "1999 Trilogy", "Second World", or fantasy works "Harry Potter" and "Game of Thrones", far surpass most writers in the world today.

At the end of the article, Le Royale also shows that if Evenson had not been relatively late, he would not have been able to compete with J.J. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Robert Heinlein, Arthur C. C. Clarke, Isaac Asimov, and others.

There is no doubt that Evan is one of the most outstanding young people in the field of science fiction and fantasy literature in the world today!

Being listed as one of the world's four science fiction masters by the outside media is definitely well-deserved!

At the same time, Ursula Legon herself also strongly agrees with the three people who call Huo Yaowen, JJ Tolkien, and C.S. Lewis the greatest masters of fantasy works of the 20th century.

As soon as this article was published, it quickly set off a huge repercussion throughout the United States, and even spread to European countries.

If it were just an ordinary writer or a weekly writer, there would not be such a big repercussion, but who made the person who wrote this article Ozula Legourne!

Born in 1929, Al Sula Le Rose is a famous American writer of science fiction, fantasy, feminism and young children, and in 1970 she became a Hugo Award and Nebula Award winner for "The Left Hand of Darkness", she can be said to be the most well-known female writer in the United States today.

In particular, Le Rose's fantasy work "The Wizard of Earthsea", published in 1968, was enthusiastically received by readers upon its release, and established her status in Western fantasy literature in one fell swoop, and she is often compared with Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings Trilogy" and Lewis's "Chronicles of Narnia".

Later, with the publication of Huo Yaowen's "Game of Thrones", media newspapers in North America and Europe often compared the two together, after all, Tolkien was already old at that time, and Lewis had long since passed away. Fantasy literature basically relies on them to act as the bearers.

Although Huo Yaowen has become more and more famous overseas over the years, there are still many people who don't like him and his works.

Therefore, when some foreign media describe Huo Yaowen as a science fiction master, he is often attacked by some narrow-minded elements, saying that he is not worthy of being compared with Clarke, Asimov and other masters.

Now Le Jieen took the initiative to say in the weekly magazine that he liked Huo Yaowen's "Game of Thrones" very much, and also affirmed his identity as a science fiction master and a fantasy master, which is undoubtedly like a bombshell.

Huo Yaowen's fans are naturally very happy, but those who don't like him are annoyed and angry, feeling that a yellow-skinned Asian is not an American, and he should not have such a high honor, not to mention that Huo Yaowen has not won a single award except for the Nebula Award so far, and he cannot be ranked with Tolkien, Asimov and others.

The arguments between the two sides intensified, which also stimulated the sales of "Game of Thrones 3" in the United States.

……

Hong Kong, Yaowen Book Publishing Company.

"The United States sold a million copies so quickly?"

Huo Yaowen looked at Yao Wenjie in surprise, how could this sales suddenly be better than in the UK!

Mark said that there was a very famous female writer in the United States, and she compared the boss you to some fantasy masters such as Tolkien, and then caused a lot of heated discussions among American readers, which stimulated sales. ”

Speaking of this, Yao Wenjie thought of what Mark said, and couldn't help but worry: "Boss, do you want us to make a public relations relationship with the newspaper in the United States? If you continue to quarrel, I'm afraid it will affect you." ”

"Hmm...... Just do it with proper PR, there's no need to explain so much. ”

Huo Yaowen waved his hand, he knew very well the urine nature of Americans, no matter how much public relations there was, these people would not look at it.

"Okay, I got the boss. ”

Yao Wenjie nodded, and then handed the sales of "Game of Thrones" to Huo Yaowen in Europe.

After a few glances, the sales of European countries in the past few days have reached more than 2 million copies, and according to the estimates given by the Thames Publishing Company, it should reach 5 million copies by the end of May, which is much higher than the previous two copies.

Huo Yaowen nodded with satisfaction, writing this third part, from consulting the information to reviewing the plot in his memory, he can be said to have spent a lot of effort, and now he can have such good sales, and it is not in vain that he has so many brain cells.

……

Shaw Brothers Film Company.

At this time, Uncle Shao looked at the company's financial statements in his hand, and the more he looked at them, the more angry he became, he threw the statements directly on the table, and angrily scolded the people below: "What the hell is going on! Why are the films released by the company so low at the box office in the past few months!"

Recently, Shaw Brothers has successively produced and filmed movies such as "Wind and Snow Moon", "Spring Dream of Red Mansions", "Navy Commando", "Warlord Funny Story", etc., and the box office after their release is not only terrible, but several of them can't even recover the cost, this is the first time I have encountered it!

The manager kept his head down, not daring to say more.

It wasn't until Uncle Shao Liu vented his anger and the fire was sent that he said cautiously: "Boss, in fact, not only our Shaw Brothers movies are not good at the box office, but the box office of Huanyu and Golden Harvest is not very high. ”

He didn't dare to say that "Ghost Blows the Lantern" won four million at the box office.

"Hmm, what's going on?" Uncle Shao looked at him suspiciously, he had been busy with the Hong Kong International Film Festival held by the wireless station recently, but he ignored the situation of the film company.

"Anle Cinema released a Western film, and many viewers went over there to watch it. ”

"Anle Cinema Line? Aren't they just three theaters? Could it be that they can still grab so many theaters from Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest?!"

"Yes, I can't stand a lot of spectators willing to wait in line, I sent someone to see it before, and there was a long queue at the door. ”

Willing to wait in line?

Uncle Shao couldn't help but wonder: "What movie is it?"

"It's called King Kong, an American film. ”

"King Kong, is it a gorilla story?"

Uncle Shao Liu pondered for a few seconds and said. He also watched a movie called "King Kong" in his early years, and that was a long, long time ago.

"Yes, this movie is about a big orangutan who was caught in the city..."

Manager Shaw Brothers also went to see this movie in person some time ago, and studied it carefully, there is nothing good to see in terms of plot, and the special effects are not good, as soon as I saw the gorilla, I knew that it was played by a person in a fur coat, and it was also English dialogue and English subtitles, and there must be very few viewers who can understand it......

In the end, I thought about it and came to a conclusion, it is nothing more than that there are blonde and blue-eyed foreign girls who are willing to show their good figures, and the white flowers attract the audience to be willing to line up to watch.

"Is it really so good-looking, can it attract the audience to line up to see it?"

Uncle Shao Liushu expressed doubts that if the plot was similar to the "King Kong" he watched in his early years, it should not be possible to attract so many audiences to watch it!

Moreover, the Western films released in Hong Kong are all in English, and the general audience can't understand them at all, just like Huo Yaowen specially found someone to match the Cantonese version of "1999" for the box office.

"Actually, there is nothing to see in terms of the plot, probably because of the ghost sister actors, which attracted a lot of audiences. ”

It's hard for the manager to say that the ghost girl actor in this movie stripped to attract the audience, after all, the Fengyue film shot by his own company also relied on this gimmick to make money.

"Hmmm......"

After listening to the manager's words, how could Uncle Shao not understand the other meaning of his words, pondered carefully, and said, "You brought me Li Hanxiang." ”

"Yes. If the manager encountered amnesty, he hurriedly went out to find Director Li.

After more than ten minutes, Li Hanxiang hurried over, and as soon as he entered the office, he heard Uncle Shao Liu: "Do you know about a Western film called "King Kong" released by Anle Theater recently. ”

Li Hanxiang, who hadn't figured out what was going on, was obviously stunned for a moment before replying: "I went to Anle Cinema last month to see it. ”

Uncle Shao asked, "Can you shoot?"

"Shoot ...... Shoot King Kong?"

Li Hanxiang asked hesitantly.

"Hmm. ”

Li Hanxiang recalled the plot of this movie, thought about it and said: "It's not difficult to shoot this movie, just make a set of orangutan clothes and find someone to wear and play." ”

"Then let's make one too!"

"Huh?"
