306 [British Idol]
Because of the sports games in the past few months, most of the newspapers in Hong Kong have reported relevant content, but after Li's TV broadcast the good news that Fok Yaowen's new work sold 6 million copies in the UK, many newspapers suddenly turned the spearhead and began to continue to praise Fok Yaowen as before.
Hong Kong now has a population of about 4 million, and even if everyone buys one, it will only be more than 4 million copies, and Huo Yaowen's book in the UK has sold 6 million copies, which is more than the population of Hong Kong.
Within a few days, Sing Tao Daily began to take the lead in reprinting British newspaper articles, which were nothing more than the British people's love for "Harry Potter" and the golden sentences that Mr. Evan frequently spat out when he was interviewed on BBC television.
I have to say that Huo Yaowen's interview with the BBC is quite a bit of Jack Ma.
Not to mention the seemingly ordinary but truthful sayings that came out casually, just the chicken soup that comforted the blonde:
"There are two things in the world that no one can laugh at: one is the birth, and the other is the dream. ”
"No one can decide whether to be born, but dreams are something that everyone can have, and no matter whether they succeed or not, they will never allow others to laugh at them, and they have no right to laugh at others. ”
These two sentences have attracted a lot of British low-level D silk, and many people have taken this sentence as a life creed, written into their beloved books, or copied by hand, and every time they are low and sad, they seem to have a great motivation when they read these sentences.
In fact, the reason why it can attract so many British D silk is not entirely because of these two bloody chicken soups, this is mainly because the host Bell, who interviewed Huo Yaowen at the beginning, told a lot of Huo Yaowen's classic quotations to the guests in many interview shows in the future, and because of the previous investigation, he told Huo Yaowen's experience of being young and poor.
Anyway, it is brainless to brag and praise Huo Yaowen as a child from a slum (housing estate), not only was admitted to the best university in Hong Kong, stayed in school to become a teacher, and wrote many books that were not a big seller, but also when he participated in the World Philosophical Congress in 1969, he was influenced by the British philosopher Bertrand Russell, the famous French philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre... and many other world-renowned philosophical masters.
After the conference, James Howard, professor of philosophy at the University of London and now head of the Department of Philosophy, invited him to give a lecture at the University of London.
The most interesting thing is that when she attended her cousin's wedding eve salon with Anna, "Birds and Fish" was casually written by Margaret in The Times of London, and it was stated that it was written by Mr. Evan.
Good fellow, Evan is not only a writer and philosopher, but also a poet!
I don't know if it's because of this poem, this issue of The Times sold tens of thousands of more copies than before, which also caused the editor-in-chief of the Times to see that it was profitable and directly sent someone to Hong Kong to continue to dig up more personal information about Evan.
This excavation is incredible!
In 1968, a lyric was written based on a ballad.
In 1969, he wrote "Virtual Second World" that caused a sensation in the United States, causing a frenzy of virtual worlds throughout the United States.
At the end of the year, Huo Yaowen, who had become a well-known writer, did not covet pleasure, but funded the establishment of a charitable education foundation to support poor students to study.
In 1970, he was appointed a Justice of the Peace by the Governor of Hong Kong, and newspapers commented that he was an outstanding young leader of our time......
With more and more reports, some British newspapers have sorted out Huo Yaowen's relatively complete and testable "life experience", he is not only a writer, but also a philosopher, poet, lyricist, educator, philanthropist, entrepreneur, founder of mixed martial arts theory, Justice of the Peace and other identities.
This kind of collection has led to Huo Yaowen's image in the UK from a best-selling author, as if he has become a low-level D silk, because of hard work, struggle, no background, only talent, and finally become a successful person!
Because of this, Huo Yaowen has become the idol and target of the British public, and in recent years, the American dream promoted by the United States has made Huo Yaowen a representative of the British dream.
So when this matter came to Hong Kong, the media reported it lively, but it was only about how popular Huo Yaowen was in the UK, how many fans he had, etc., but he rarely mentioned anything else, after all, Huo Yaowen's experience, over the years, I don't know how many newspapers have reported it.
Coincidentally, Hong Kong's newspapers don't care much, but Yao Wenjie sees a glimmer of business opportunities from it!
When I saw that the newspaper reprinted several articles in the UK, there were many references to the "chicken soup" that Huo Yaowen said before, and I suddenly caught something, and I thought about whether to integrate the "chicken soup stories" written by Huo Yaowen before and sell them to the UK!
Yao Wenjie also said to do it, after Huo Yaowen in the ward, he began to sort out various small stories in dozens of issues of "Youth Books" the next day, some of which were written by Huo Yaowen, and some were written by Yao Wenjie by company writers.

On the streets of Kowloon, sports are still the same at the moment, Huo Yaowen waited for a long time before waiting for the group of athletes to leave in an orderly manner, and then drove straight out of Kyushu Magazine.
"General Manager!"
When he entered the magazine, he found that there seemed to be a lot more people inside, and before he could take a closer look, the editor-in-chief Lin Xiaotang happened to come out of the office and immediately ran over when he saw the boss.
The two entered the office one after the other.
Waiting to sit down, Huo Yaowen asked curiously: "Why is there so many people outside Editor-in-Chief Lin?"
"Oh, those are new artists. ”
Lin Xiaotang said: "Recently, many readers have written to me, saying that they hope to see more illustrations, and that the art department had enough manpower before, but a few people left, so they recruited some people again. ”
"Oh. ”
As soon as he heard this, Huo Yaowen didn't say much, but just asked, "How is the sales of the magazine now?"
"It's not bad, it's up a lot from last month. ”
Lin Xiaotang immediately took out a copy of the document next to him, spread it out and pointed it out to Huo Yaowen, and said while pointing: "The sales volume has increased by five percent compared with last month, and the sales volume in Taiwan is also very objective......
After Huo Yaowen carefully read the financial statements and sales statements, he found that there were still more than 300,000 yuan in the magazine's accounts.
When I asked, I found out that it was the profit of the magazine in the past few months, and it was said that it would be credited to the company's account next month.
"That, general manager ......," Lin Xiaotang said with a sudden hesitation.
"How?"
Lin Xiaotang hesitated for a few seconds and continued: "I want to set up a comic department. ”
Huo Yaowen raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why did you think of doing comics?"
"It was the idea of Shangguan Xiaobao of the art department, he said that the Hong Kong comic market is very good now, and our magazine has such a best-selling magazine in Kyushu, if it is adapted into a comic book, I think the sales will not be less, and recently there are indeed many readers who have written to say that they hope to see comic books in Kyushu. ”
If you can make money, you must do it, but Huo Yaowen doesn't know much about comic printing, so he asked curiously: "Can the printing house print over there?"
Lin Xiaotang nodded and said, "I asked Manager Zhang of the printing house before, and he said that printing comic books is not a problem, as long as you change to a new template." ”
"If you can, do it, but remember to tell Editor-in-Chief Yao. ”
"I said it, Editor-in-Chief Yao said to ask what you mean. ”
"Then I agreed, but I want to do it as well as I can, and the style of the comic should be the same as the illustration. ”
"Yes. ”
After dealing with the affairs of the magazine, Huo Yaowen went to the publishing company again, Yao Wenjie said that Lituo was almost done in the United States, and the people from Disney Company made concessions, and Huo Yaowen could get 20% of Harry Potter's peripherals.
This is not a small number, although Disney is not as huge as later generations, but in the field of children's toys, or in the field of animation can be said to be a well-deserved brother, that mouse can create tens of millions of wealth for Disney every year, in addition to Mickey Mouse's name is loud enough, Disney's channel is also the key.
Huo Yaowen is happy, but as the copyrights of the books he writes are sold more and more, and he makes more and more money, Lituo is now focusing on the manager company in the UK, which makes him unavailable, and he is also a headache. But fortunately, Litu has been asked to find some professional financial managers before, and I want to wait for someone to find it, and someone will take care of it.
……
Golden Harvest Film Company.
"What a good thing this is!"
He Guanchang looked at the urgent telegram sent from Thailand in his hand, anxious, and the whole person was a little at a loss.
Zou Wenhuai, who was on the other side, also had a gloomy face, clenched his fists and said: "You can't let the crew have problems, since they want money, they will give money, and I will personally take the money to Thailand tomorrow." ”
"But how can we have such a large sum of money!" He Guanchang said with a bitter face, two million Hong Kong dollars! Such a large amount of money, it may not be possible to make up for it even if it is sold to Golden Harvest.
"Two Million ......"
Zou Wenhuai pondered for a long time and said, "I'll find someone to borrow it!"
"Borrow money, who to borrow, this is not 200,000, it's 2 million! Who can borrow us!" He Guanchang gradually became a little irritable.
Zou Wenhuai glanced at him, "It's a big deal to sell my face, and I have to get two million!"
