Chapter 598: The Suspicion of Europeans and Americans [Three More Requests for Subscription]
Probably because of history, propaganda and even employment reasons, many Europeans and Americans have an inexplicable hostility towards China, and they always like to smear China on the Internet or in the media.
Of course, most of them are dominated by pheasant media, although the mainstream media occasionally reports, but most of the time they directly ignore China, unless it is a big deal, it is difficult to get on the mainstream media in Europe and the United States.
Now big media outlets like the BBC or CNN, NBC, The Times, The New York Times and so on don't bother to pay attention to these little things.
But on Twitter and Facebook, netizens are discussing it!
International events are too far away for them, far better than discussing which two Hollywood stars are torn apart, and now there is a piece of news about Leonardo da Vinci mixed in with many entertainment gossip news.
Such a simple and unpretentious news certainly made them pay more attention!
Adam is a happy fat house, sitting on 250 pounds has overwhelmed the computer chair under his butt, he has a bottle of Coca-Cola in his right hand and a mouse in his left hand to wander around on Reddit.
Reddit is actually somewhat similar to Tieba, which is known as the homepage of the Internet, which is essentially a link center.
After taking a sip of an iced Coke, Adam saw a headline on the front page of the new and hot events called "Chinese Finally Begin to Look at Da Vinci", which was a news taken directly from a newspaper.
Although Adam is an American, he knows more about the characters in Europe, unlike the stupid ordinary American civilian.
"Hope you can give me some fresh news!"
Adam clicked in and looked at the news, but the content was a little beyond his imagination.
[In the past two days, the topic of Leonardo da Vinci has suddenly become popular in China, mainly because a best-selling author Zhang Chu announced the title of his book "The Da Vinci Code", and the Renaissance painter finally took root in the Far East......]
"The -Da -Vinci- Code?" Adam repeated the title, wondering if the book was about to reveal the life of Leonardo da Vinci?
In recent years, similar works have been popping up, and speculation that Leonardo da Vinci was gay has been circulating in the United States for a long, long time.
In this Reddit post, the landlord quoted the news and commented: "Do you think this writer can unlock the code of Leonardo da Vinci? I seriously doubt the artistic talent of Asians in this area, and the Italians have studied it for hundreds of years without getting an answer." ”
Adam agrees that it's not a matter of racism, it's that he feels that the cultural differences between the East and the West are too great, and the same is true in the field of art research!
At this point, there were already quite a few replies below, and Adam was idle all day anyway, so he simply read them one by one.
"I think it's a joke, isn't it?"
"Is this a fabrication? 18 million searches in 24 hours?"
"I'm tired of reading the interpretations of European scholars, and this time I'll see what new ideas writers from the East will have. ”
"Obviously he can't give any opinion, and I hope he doesn't say that Leonardo da Vinci is Chinese or Asian. ”
"Zhang Chu? Isn't this the author of Sherlock? I've been reading this book lately, and his modern Sherlock Holmes is fantastic! Now I'm looking forward to his new work. ”
"Oh, I just googled the author's name and found that his books are fantastic. Amazon has a high rating, maybe we can judge his new book by his previous works!"
Adam was surprised when he saw this, he turned his head to look at the DVD box and hardcover version of "Sherlock" on the bookshelf not far away, this author turned out to be an acquaintance!
He missed the U.S. release of Sherlock, and although it was available for a pay-to-demand view, Adam still paid for a DVD collection, and by the way, spent an extra $10 on hardcover books.
Despite his aversion to the British accent, Adam loved the show so much that he was ready to watch the second season of Sherlock in just over two months!
"This is a rigorous writer with a very complete imagination, did he really find something different?"
The previous suspicion turned into anticipation at this time.
This group of foreign netizens can discuss vigorously, but if they know that the content is just a clue from Leonardo da Vinci and subvert their beliefs, I don't know what the reaction will be at that time!
……
Zhang Chu was also a little surprised by the upsurge of discussion he had triggered, and he was just announcing the title of the book to divert his attention.
Who knew it would be like this!
It seems that everyone is talking about Leonardo da Vinci, everyone feels that there is something important hidden in the smile of the Mona Lisa, and the statement that Leonardo da Vinci is a time-traveler has been noisy, and more and more people agree with it.
Luckily he was a man and lived in the Renaissance, otherwise he would have been dragged to the fire and burned as a witch!
The employees of Nanhai Publishing Company were overjoyed, which saved a lot of publicity and promotion costs.
Other authors still need to spend money to buy recommendations, but Zhang Chu has his own hot search physique.
Climbing a rock can become popular all over Douyin, and announcing a book title can make the whole network pay attention to it, and even with the old man Leonardo da Vinci, he can increase so many fans in the land of China after 500 years!
Gu Xinxue confirmed Zhang Chu's popularity at this time, and his ability to lead the topic was too superb.
At this time, he didn't know what the specific content of "The Da Vinci Code" was, but he took advantage of the time to wait for the elevator after work to discuss it with the staff of the art team.
"Xiao Tu, I have a new idea about the cover of Zhang Chu's new book. What do you think about using the Mona Lisa as the cover?"
Tu Huijing was stunned for a moment, and said with a bitter face: "Editor Gu, how can you do such a cover." ”
Gu Xinxue insisted: "Why not." There are very few people in the world who know what Leonardo da Vinci looked like, but there are many people who know the Mona Lisa! The Mona Lisa is almost synonymous with Leonardo da Vinci, and don't you think that smile is very suitable for the cover? ”
"But what if the Mona Lisa isn't mentioned in Yichu?" Tu Huijing said hesitantly, the art team often encounters the cover being beaten back and repainted.
"Just say Leonardo da Vinci, you can't do without the Mona Lisa. Do you think it's more appropriate to put the Last Supper in? That painting is too religious, or the Mona Lisa is better, at least there is no bias. ”
"Okay then, I'll figure out a cover tomorrow. ”
"Xiao Tu, you have to thank me, how much work I have saved you! The portrait of the Mona Lisa can be downloaded directly from the Internet, you just need to adjust the size and put a few words in it. ”
Leonardo da Vinci has been dead for 500 years, and obviously he will not come to China to ask for copyright fees, anyway, Gu Xinxue wants to see the effect.
The rest of the people who were waiting for the elevator agreed: "This idea is very good, it looks like it is decrypted!"
