Chapter 108: Disparagement and Popularity

Although the British are known for their gentlemanly demeanor, they have always been arrogant in their bones when they thought that they had been the world's leading advantage in the previous two hundred years.

Even though they are now almost vassals of the United States, psychologically, they still think that the United States is nothing more than an upstart.

Even if Australia has been following in their footsteps, in their eyes, Australia is nothing more than a big rural village, their raw material supplier.

The same is true of this in their media.

Although Zhou Nan is now popular all over Europe, after coming to the UK, he was met with a cold reception from the media. In their opinion, there are a lot of theorists of historical research like Zhou Nan in Britain.

The reason why Zhou Nan is famous is not because of how profound his theories are, but because he is young.

And Zhou Nan's speech in France, his speech in Italy. The analysis of the international situation in Europe, the humanitarian spirit, and the European revival plan are nothing more than picking up people's teeth.

Of course, the media did not deny Zhou Nan's academic achievements, they just downplayed Zhou Nan's ability.

On the contrary, their praise of Audrey has reached a level of madness. Audrey is described as a contemporary British fashion beauty and will lead the world's fashion trends.

This was largely due to Coty's promotional plans in the UK and Audrey's cinematic commercial.

In this era, the coverage of TV advertising is not very large, and TV advertising is also shoddy and unstandardized.

Audrey's perfume advertisement is nothing compared to later generations. Because there are no special effects in this era, even the picture is black and white.

But a three-minute ad tells a whole story, the love story of a big star and an ordinary person, and this subversion has set off a crazy wave of influence across Europe.

The British media fully analyzed the fashion potential of Audrey from the way Audrey dressed when she appeared. Her hairstyle with a falling horse, her simple and fashionable skirt style, and her smile have made countless British people crazy.

This popularity can be said to be a bit inexplicable, before coming to the UK, no one, including Zhou Nan, would have imagined that Audrey would be so popular in the UK.

Audrey's perfume advertisement had been published in British newspapers for some time before, but it had been tepid.

Before they came to the UK, Coty Perfume had made a lot of preparations to make Audrey famous in the UK.

He even spent a lot of money to charter the Royal Albert Hall, and prepared to hold a perfume promotion in the theater, using Audrey's modern dance to promote.

Unfortunately, the Albert Hall is only open to top musicians, and they end up renting Her Majesty's Theatre for their presentations.

But overnight, it seemed that everything was not needed.

A TV movie commercial conquered the arrogant British.

Audrey on the screen has delicate facial features, and that kind of eyes as pure as angels are enough to purify everyone's hearts.

Today's newspapers have countless headlines praising this girl of English descent with the headline of an angel descending into the world.

Audrey's acting skills are not mentioned for the time being, her talent is her natural sense of lens, and an actor with this sense of lens, regardless of her acting skills, will definitely be the focus of photographers and audiences.

For example, Marlon Brando, such as Audrey, even if they don't have acting skills, as long as they stand in front of the camera, they can attract everyone's attention.

Zhou Nan's other life has experienced nearly a hundred years, watched countless classic films, and there are countless people with better acting skills than them, but there are not many actors with this talent.

Zhou Nan also guessed a little bit of the reason why the media hyped Audrey today, because the British didn't want to over-publicize him. The media has invested so many resources, and it is not like not to write about Zhou Nan, but in order to downplay Zhou Nan's existence, then tout the little British wife around Zhou Nan.

But what I didn't expect was that almost all the media had plans in this regard. It also caused today's media to collectively crash and hype up Audrey.

Of course, Zhou Nan is happy to see this happen.

Seeing these news, Veronica couldn't help but smile and said, "Audrey, it seems that if you go shopping today, you will be surrounded by the media." ”

Audrey looked at Zhou Nan with some pleading, but Zhou Nan couldn't do anything about it. Today he has arrangements and can't even be by Audrey's side.

Let Nord, the old prodigal (liu), have the most experience with these. He raised a large group of women, and he already knew how to avoid the media, and he also knew how to use it.

"This matter is left to me, Audrey, you can do whatever you want to do, you only have to be responsible for beauty, and the rest is left to me." He bowed slightly to Lady Hemstra and asked, "Madam, I wonder if I will have the privilege of visiting beautiful London with you today?" ”

Mrs. Hemstra laughed. "It's our pleasure."

For women in this era, shopping is never simply shopping, but a kind of social life.

They usually meet up with friends, go out around 10 a.m., stroll around a while, and then find a restaurant to eat. After lunch, we will continue to stroll around for a while, and then it will be time for afternoon tea.

Afternoon tea usually lasts until dinner time, and it is also a time for women to compete and compete with each other. After dinner, I go to a concert or a show before I go home.

They generally don't go to the cinema because the movie is for the poor. The movie theater is also mixed, and it is inconvenient for them to appear.

However, in the cinemas of this era, when there was a new movie, it would usually send invitations to the ladies of the nobles. Prepare a few chartered movies for these women to get a sneak peek, and the ticket price will be a little higher than the average person.

After breakfast, Toynbee and Veronica deliberately said that they wanted to visit the beautiful garden, leaving the space for Zhou Nan and them.

In the large living room, the assistants had already counted the content of the recent academic debates in the British newspapers, and summarized them for Zhou Nan to understand.

The controversy between the Ranke School and the Fèvre School of Almanac was initially a purely academic debate. But then more and more people were involved, and the academic debate became an ideological one.

The academic dispute has become a political dispute, and the purpose is not simple.

Zhou Nan can also perceive the change in Favre's mentality from the changes in the content of Favre's manuscript, and he is now a little difficult to ride a tiger.

Although he won a great academic victory, he became a tool in the hands of the Soviets.

At the very beginning of their academic career, the Soviets touted Fèvre's school of annals, and compared Marx's theory with many similarities with the school of annals, merging the two types of scholarship.

Now Favre has also noticed this, but his situation is somewhat similar to Zhou Nan's. A large group of scholars had gathered around him and put him on the table.

The difference is that Zhou Nan is voluntary, and everyone's hearts are the same. But he is now forced, and the hearts of the people probably have their own intentions.

After Toynbee's reminder yesterday, Zhou Nan already knew that he must not participate in this academic debate.

Because it's not just an academic debate anymore......

The phone between the UK and continental Europe is not yet connected and it is not possible to call back directly.

Slooney had already sent a telegram to Hlein last night, asking the Liberal Democrats to arrange an official identity for Zhou Nan as soon as possible to avoid this academic controversy.

However, this morning Hlein contacted all walks of life to reach a consensus, and the results will not be reported to London until noon this day at the earliest.

This morning, Zhou Nan will give a speech at the Academy of Sciences, and he will definitely face questions from reporters. How to answer these questions from reporters has also become the main task for Etinny to prepare.

After dealing with the reporters this morning, I don't have to face the reporters directly in the afternoon and evening, and Zhou Nan will leave London for a short time later, so as to avoid the current disturbances in London.

"Slooney, you went to visit Professor Favre on my behalf this morning, and although we can't speak for him in the media, he is an old friend of mine after all."

"No problem, I'll pass your greetings to him."

"You ask him when he's leaving London, and I should ask him to get together before he leaves."

Etinny asked, "Jonas, do we need to prepare a dinner party?" ”

Jean Nord objected: "Not now, what we need is to keep a low profile." Even if we were going to have a dinner, it was when we were about to leave London. ”

For these things, Jean Nord is the best at it. "In the coming month, you need to perfect your work, and you need help from people from all walks of life," he explains. It's very embarrassing if you host a dinner party and don't invite the people you should have invited. When you finish the matter in London, this kind of trouble for the other party, or the person who has established a relationship with the other party, it is enough to ask for it once at that time. ”

Zhou Nan nodded and said with a smile: "Mayerry, this kind of thing is always what you are best at." ”

"I'm here to do your help, aren't I? You went out in the morning, and I needed a good night's sleep, and last night, I was so excited that I didn't sleep well. ”

At half past nine in the morning, Zhou Nan came to the British Academy of Sciences next to Waterloo Square on the green ** street outside Buckingham Palace, and was also warmly welcomed by the Academy.

There are four major academic schools in the UK, the Royal Society, the Royal Society of Edinburgh, the British College, and the Royal Academy of Engineering.

Among them, the British Academy, commonly known as the British Academy, is dedicated to the study of humanities, philosophy, sociology and economics.

But since they don't have as much money as the Royal Society, their influence is not as good as that of each other. Otherwise, Toynbee would not have had to turn to Robinson of the Royal Society to help him
