638. This rotten association, don't wait! (2-in-1)
“.”
Listening to this Miss Liu's revelations, Wang Yongren couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
He was not very surprised, those members of the organizing committee who had put together on a temporary basis had some people fill their pockets, after all, the 100,000 euros he sponsored before was not a small amount for ordinary people.
Where there are people, there will be greed.
Not all science fiction predecessors are worth millions, and they are not like those experts say, who have a house and a car to rent.
To Wang Yongren's surprise, the granddaughter of President Liu's family who broke the news.
Presumably, the other party must have revealed it to President Liu as soon as possible, but there was no news at this time, presumably that Chairman Liu wanted to cover the lid.
The elderly are all gloomy, and their eyes and hearts are full of human feelings.
"Why did you tell me?"
After taking a sip of tea, Wang Yongren asked.
He was more interested in the question than in knowing who was greedy for sponsorship.
"I don't want my grandfather's hard work to be wasted, and I don't want the Huaxia Nebula Award to be lonely after a few sessions. But my grandfather is too face-conscious, and you are the honorary president of the association, so I think you have the right to know about it. ”
Speaking of this, Liu Pujia looked at each other with blazing eyes.
Previously, she was also pulled into the organizing committee by her grandfather and was responsible for communication and liaison, but she accidentally discovered the greedy behavior of a certain vice president.
At the beginning, Liu Pujia told her grandfather, but her grandfather persuaded her that more things were better than less, and she would deal with them when the association was stable in the future.
This kind of Tai Chi technique made Liu Pujia very uncomfortable and worried.
Those young 'uncles' may have forgotten that the money was donated by Wang Da writer alone, and the other party is still the honorary president, and once discovered, it may directly cause the entire association to fall apart.
Others don't have that influence, but there must be 'no such person in the world' who has won the Hugo Award.
Moreover, writer Wang Da is still so young, he will definitely not swallow his anger.
In these years, once Wang Da writer is published on the Internet, the organizing committee of the entire Chinese Science Fiction Association basically has no credibility at all, so what reason does the association have to continue to exist.
At that time, her grandfather's hard work will be in vain.
"Are you now a staff member of the Chinese Science Fiction Association?"
Noncommittal about this reason, Wang Yongren, who was very interested, continued to ask.
"Sort of, I was just temporarily pulled into the organizing committee by my grandfather to help. I'm in my third year of college this year, and after graduating, I'm going to work at my uncle's law firm branch in the magic capital. ”
Speaking of her own situation, Liu Pujia replied unsuspectingly.
Her grandfather asked her to join the temporary organizing committee, which was only an increase in seniority, but it would not become the main job in the future.
"If you are in charge of finances in the organizing committee, I will donate an adapted script, and the proceeds from the auction will be used to support the development of the association. This position is not heavy, and the specific work can be done by a special person, and you are mainly responsible for supervising the whereabouts of the money, which should not affect your normal work. ”
Without saying anything about the disposal of those who were greedy for sponsorship funds, Wang Yongren made a proposal.
"May I?"
Liu Pujia, who was a little moved, asked uncertainly.
No matter where she works in the future, it will not affect the position of this association, and it will also add to her resume.
As for being able to meet those writers and celebrities up close, it's just incidental.
"Of course, I, the honorary president, still have this right. Besides, there are two of them, and I don't believe in the discipline of those guys at all. Perhaps, as you might guess, if I found out about it myself, I might quit the association and no longer participate in domestic science fiction-related activities. ”
In this regard, Wang Yongren expressed great trust in the clear-eyed Miss Liu in front of him.
Regardless of whether there is President Liu's instruction or not, at least the junior girl in front of him who is clear and a little stupid is more worthy of his trust.
There was a sentence that he did not tell the truth.
If he found out by himself, Wang Yongren would not swallow his anger, and would directly choose to call the police.
Even if it affects the association and even causes the Chinese science fiction association to collapse halfway, what does it matter to him.
"Then I can."
Seeing that this favorite writer trusted him so much, Liu Pujia nodded vigorously.
"Welcome to the Chinese Science Fiction Association, there is something you need to preside over. After tonight's awards ceremony......"
"Mr. Wang, don't worry, I will definitely handle this matter."
After listening to the other party's instructions, Liu Pujia's eyes lit up and she nodded vigorously.
She believes that with the behind-the-scenes support of this world-renowned science fiction writer, the Chinese Science Fiction Association will definitely be able to grow and grow, and her grandfather's wish will also come true.
"Happy working together!"
Looking at this innocent girl with a little stupidity and cuteness, Wang Yongren picked up the tea and said with a smile.
"It's a pleasure to work with."
Holding the coffee cup in both hands, Liu Pujia took a sip, her eyes full of longing for the future.
"I'm going to go to the salon held by a few seniors, so I'll go first."
Looking at his watch, Wang Yongren quickly ended today's meeting.
As the honorary president of the association, several seniors in the science fiction industry invited him, and it is always difficult for him, a junior, to refuse.
"Okay, I'll send you."
"No, I ordered you a few afternoon teas, and I've already asked the secretary to settle the bill."
Smiling, Wang Yongren got up and left on his own.
And Liu Pujia, who did not leave in the box, looked at the dozen or so afternoon snacks sent by the waiter, and suddenly wanted to work for the handsome writer.
It's a pity that the writer Wang Da is only the honorary president, and the real president is her grandfather.
"I heard that the funds for the organization of the association are sponsored by the 'no one in the world'?"
"How is it possible, the title sponsor is the 'Suzhou Youth Publishing House', a state-owned enterprise."
"The Su Provincial Youth Publishing House only paid 50,000 yuan for the naming fee, and there is no one like me in the world who sponsored 100,000 euros, which is equivalent to more than 1 million Chinese dollars."
"Really? Millions as soon as you make a shot? ”
"What can this be, that 'no such person in the world' has a royalty of tens of millions of euros a month, and 100,000 euros is just a small meaning for him."
"It's really incomparable to people, we can laugh and blossom when we earn 100,000 royalties a year, which is not as good as each other's royalties for a day."
"Oh, a world-renowned writer worth hundreds of millions, and he only donated 100,000 yuan as a result, and he is embarrassed to be the honorary president. If it were me, I would be able to donate 10 million. ”
"Lao Huang, just make such bold words to you, I'll make a toast."
At this time, Wang Yongren, who had just come up from the stairs on the first floor, passed by the open tea room, listened to a few sour words, smiled freely, and didn't bother with them.
However, before entering the box, Wang Yongren turned his head and instructed Secretary Chen, who accompanied him: "Inquire about the names of those people, I don't want them to appear in the association's award list in the future." ”
Just kidding, the gentleman takes revenge, from the beginning.
The tea that those people drank and the hotels they stayed in were all money sponsored by him, but what cool things were said behind his back, who gave him what he was used to.
He can understand that literati are light, but if the author of science fiction does not have a magnificent bearing, the storyline he writes will only mislead teenagers who love science fiction.
Wouldn't it be the next generation of flowers that will harm China if they let them win awards?
As the honorary president, he has the right to vote, and he also has the obligation to ensure that truly excellent Chinese science fiction shines.
"Okay."
Hearing the boss's instructions, Chen Dong responded very simply.
She thinks that such a boss is the real temperament, and she agrees with this approach very much.
Those villains who can only gossip in secret are not eligible to participate in the awards at all.
"Squeak."
When the box door opened, Wang Yongren saw several familiar faces inside.
The seven people present, including Lao Liu, the author of "Wandering Little Wrecking Ball", Lao Long of "Meteor", Lao Jiang of "The Gate of the Milky Way", and the editor-in-chief of science fiction magazines, are all regarded as the backbone of the contemporary Chinese science fiction industry.
"I'm sorry, seniors, I'm late."
"President Wang is here, everyone is welcome."
A middle-aged editor-in-chief was the first to get up, and everyone followed suit and applauded.
Compared with those ordinary street authors outside, everyone here can be regarded as a well-known figure in the Chinese science fiction industry, and the conditions are above the well-off level, so naturally they will not be so jealous.
I heard that the world-selling and the first Chinese "Hugo Award" winner Wang Da writer sponsored millions of funds, and they all expressed their blessings to the other party's honorary president title.
There are many people with assets of hundreds of millions, but who can take out millions of funds to sponsor the development of the association at one time, who dares to say that the other party is not qualified to become the honorary president.
"The seniors are too polite"
In front of these backbones of the Chinese science fiction industry, Wang Yongren is very modest.
Under normal circumstances, he doesn't show much arrogance.
This salon lasted for half a day, and everyone chatted happily and was full of confidence in the rise of Chinese science fiction.
When dinner was approaching, Wang Yongren received a phone call from President Liu's granddaughter and came to the small conference room on the third floor of the hotel to attend the president meeting of the Chinese Science Fiction Association.
The award ceremony of the first Huaxia Nebula Awards is almost like this, do you have anything to add?"
After a certain person in charge of the association finished talking about the process of tonight's award ceremony, President Liu opened his mouth and asked the twelve members of the organizing committee present.
"I have something I want to report to President Liu."
At this time, Wang Yongren, who had been listening, put down the teacup in his hand and said in the eyes of everyone: "In view of the start-up of the association and the lack of funds, I am ready to donate a science fiction written in my spare time and auction the film and television adaptation rights of this one after the award ceremony." At that time, the heads of several film and television companies will come to participate in the auction. ”
After a pause, Wang Yongren continued: "All the proceeds from the auction will be donated to the association's special account for the association's daily operating expenses and subsequent award expenses. ”
"Buzz"
As soon as Wang, Honorary President Yongren's words fell, a small discussion echoed in the small conference room.
The name "There is no such person as me in the world" has a lot of influence in the global science fiction and film and television circles, and the previous film adaptations released are even more dazzling at the box office.
There is no doubt that as long as it is sci-fi produced by the other party, there will be companies in the film and television industry to buy it.
Last time, the copyright of the other party's "Gravity" was rumored to be worth tens of millions of dollars, and the sci-fi copyright fee taken out this time is calculated in millions of dollars, and the unit is still in dollars.
If this is the case, their association's future operating funds will not have to worry at all, and they will not have to lick their faces to solicit sponsorship.
At this moment, the eyes of everyone present brightened, and two of them had their eyes shining, calculating in their hearts how much 'benefit' they could get from it.
"Before I do that, though, I need to say one more thing to everyone here."
Without waiting for others to ask, Wang Yongren then threw out a new question: "I sponsored the association with 100,000 euros before, so that the association could better hold the Nebula Award, but not for some people to enrich themselves. President Liu, do you think that if such a person stays in the organizing committee, will the association still have credibility in the future? ”
When he said these two words, Wang Yongren's right hand was slightly clenched, and he gently knocked on the table, as if knocking on the hearts of everyone in the conference room, making everyone's hearts feel terrified.
After learning the inside information given by Miss Liu, Wang Yongren was not ready to compromise.
If you can even endure this, you might as well go home and sell sweet potatoes.
“.”
And the people who heard this exciting news had different ideas in their minds, and they were all kinds of strange.
Is this the honorary president Wang going to meddle in the affairs of the association?
In addition, who is the person who is greedy for ink in the other party's mouth?
is so productless, and even the sponsorship money has to be greedy, which is simply a loss of face for cultural people.
Everyone looked at each other to find out who the honorary president was vaguely pointing to, but two of them, with panic in their eyes, pretended to be calm and sat in their seats.
Among them, the middle-aged vice president with a slightly chubby face took the initiative to take over the conversation before President Liu could answer: "President Wang, do you have any misunderstanding?" Our association is creating, and the funds are spent on the preparation of this Huaxia Nebula Award, and no one will fill their pockets. ”
"Yes, yes, Chairman Wang must have misunderstood, the members of our organizing committee are all friends in the circle, how could they do such a thing."
Another middle-aged thin-faced man with sweat on his head was also busy cooperating.
After he finished speaking, several more members of the 'righteous and upright' organizing committee spoke, and their tones were convincing.
President Liu, who is the founder of the association, sat there silently and did not speak, looking at the young honorary president next to him with an inexplicable glint in his eyes.
He didn't expect that the young honorary president would reveal the matter on such an occasion, leaving no room for anything.
"President Liu, if people like Vice President Qi and Director He can continue to serve in the organizing committee, I don't think this association can do it."
Seeing that President Liu on the main seat was silent, Wang Yongren knew that this old-timer in the age of the sixtieth year still wanted to make peace with the mud, so he got up directly and said a word, directly naming his name in his words.
He is a young man, who would dare to say that he is not a young man to express the right values?
Those are all the money he donated, who gave the other party the qualifications to be greedy for ink?
If Vice President Qi's family was so poor that he couldn't open the pot, Wang Yongren wouldn't mind giving a reward, but he didn't give it, and no one could ask for it.
If he really messed with this account today, then he didn't care about the title of honorary president on his head at all.
Presumably, he publicly withdrew from the newly established 'Chinese Science Fiction Association' on his Weibo account, and that scene must be very exciting.
"How so."
"Lao Qi can't be this kind of person, right?"
"Is it true?"
"Won't it?"
"Lao Qi and Lao He are really so shameless?"
"If it's true, our organizing committee will lose face."
As soon as they heard this President Wang name and speak so conclusively, everyone present was shocked and undecided, and subconsciously felt that the other party would not be untargeted.
"You don't want to spew blood?"
"The surname is Wang, you have no evidence, don't insult people."
The two people who were named stood up in unison to defend themselves.
Just kidding, the things they do are relatively secretive, and the honorary president of the other party doesn't care at all, how can they know their small actions.
It's just that the angry appearance of the two of them is more like a panic when the secret is revealed in the eyes of others.
"What, do you two need me to call the police?"
Looking directly at the two middle-aged men, Wang Yongren had a faint contempt in his eyes, and then looked at Chairman Liu on the main seat.
This rotten association, don't wait!
